Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 14: Bearish on Life and Death
Why did 30 million Qin soldiers fight to the death at the Northern Great Wall?

Why would those royal families who have no shortage of wealth and glory die in battle without regrets?

Because behind us are our country and our people.

Perhaps in the eyes of the immortals and demons who invaded the land of Jiuzhou, these people are nothing but ants.

But in the eyes of the Qin people, these are their comrades and family members.

As he walked forward, Zhang Yuan's mood gradually calmed down.

In his mind, beads of qi, blood and perception shattered one by one.

The tendons and veins in his body began to crack because they could not withstand the sudden surge of energy and blood.

Before his eyes, a long mountain seemed to appear, and an old man in black armor was holding a long sword and swinging it, drawing the power of the mountain to move along with the blade.

After taking three steps forward, Zhang Yuan's strength had reached 1,300 kilograms.

After five steps forward, his mountain swordsmanship reached perfection.

After taking ten steps forward, all the accumulated blood and energy beads and perception beads were used up, and his cultivation reached the peak of the middle stage of the acquired realm, and his martial arts skills, the Mountain Sword Technique, reached the great perfection level!

"kill--"

With a loud shout, Zhang Yuan stepped into the air, his body reached a height of ten feet, and he chopped down with the knife in both hands.

Two shields in front of him were raised, and three spears stabbed at him.

"Bam—"

The long sword slashed on the shield, and the heavy wooden shield broke with a sound. The Yan soldier holding the shield flew backwards and hit the soldier holding a spear, knocking him off balance, and the long spear he stabbed out also deviated to the side.

Zhang Yuan's strike broke two shields with one blow, as strong as an ox!
Just as the long sword fell, Zhang Yuan took a step forward and slashed at the two spears with his sword.

The long sword presented by Zhao Changming, deputy commander of the Red Scale Army, was made of refined steel with a thick blade and a sharp edge.

The two spears were cut off. Zhang Yuan turned his body and pulled the long sword from his waist, cutting the waist of the Yan army soldier in front of him who was holding a spear. Blood spurted and his intestines were broken.

Progress, pick the knife.

The blade ripped open the armor of another Yan soldier who had no time to retreat, leaving a trail of blood.

Zhang Yuan loosened his grip on the long sword, raised his foot and kicked the hilt. The long sword pierced heavily into the chest and abdomen of the Yan army soldier opposite, carrying his body to the ground three feet away and stuck in a two-foot-circle basswood tree.

After killing two people in a row, the two blood beads shattered in an instant.

A trace of energy and blood vibrated outside Zhang Yuan's body.

Entering the late stage of the acquired realm, the power of qi and blood exceeds 1,500 kilograms!

This time there was no bottleneck in the breakthrough.

It seems that the fight between life and death is the best time to break through the realm of cultivation.

In an army, a person in the late acquired realm can command 500 soldiers. In the martial arts world, a person in the late acquired realm is already a rare master.

Those in the Xiantian realm are known as first-rate masters in the martial arts world. They are the strong ones who can suppress one side among all the forces. Those in the late stage of the Acquired realm are the most capable elite.

At this time, Zhang Yuan didn't care at all about how much his cultivation had improved.

Why bother caring about life and death?

The long sword slipped from his hand, he took a step back and turned suddenly.

Turn around and raise your elbows.

Iron fist, turning elbow!
Concentrate the strength of your waist and body on one elbow.

When boxing reaches the great perfection level, it can be performed with just the movement of hands and feet, and the energy is concentrated to the extreme.

"Bam—"

The soldier who raised his shield in a hurry had his wooden shield shattered by the elbow, and his body flew into a tree trunk about ten feet away, breaking the trunk as thick as a bowl.

It was visible to the naked eye that the soldier's spine had been twisted and deformed, and when he fell to the ground, his internal organs were shattered and he had stopped breathing.

"Qin dog pricks my hand!"

"Retreat, get your bows and crossbows!"

"Scatter! This guy can't get close to us!"

Zhang Yuan rushed forward a few steps, grabbed the handle of the long knife that he had kicked out before, drew his sword and walked away.

He just rushed into the battle and caught the Yan army off guard.

Once the Yan army disperses and their bows and crossbows are used, he will be pierced like a hedgehog in no time.

As people walked through the mountains and forests, Zhang Yuan activated the Chaos Assisted Combat Technique and dodged the arrows by a hair's breadth.

He just needs to delay these Yan troops and allow the civilians and wounded soldiers leaving the city to get far enough away.

As he traveled through the mountains and forests, his speed became faster and faster.

The energy and blood that had suddenly increased before has now begun to adapt and turn into his own speed and strength.

The Qi and blood in his body had surged, and his tendons and veins were unable to bear it, but now they began to calm down.

This is what a true late-stage post-natal realm warrior should look like.

With his cultivation in the late post-natal realm, the great perfection of the cloak swordsmanship and iron armor fist, plus the great success of the mountain swordsmanship, Zhang Yuan was more and more at ease in dealing with the pursuers.

Zhang Yuan ran towards the edge of the cliff. He wanted to lead the pursuers to another path instead of chasing after the civilians and the wounded.

"Boss Duan!"

After walking several hundred feet, Zhang Yuan saw Duan Hong lying on the ground.

At this time, Duan Hong had a bloody wound between his waist and abdomen, and was leaning against a tree trunk with a pale face.

Seeing Zhang Yuan, Duan Hong raised his head with difficulty and grinned.

"Boy, you're not dead yet."

Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed Duan Hong's arm, then turned to look at the Yan army chasing after him.

"boom--"

A loud roar came from the direction of South City.

The collision of the innate qi energy caused the surrounding clouds to become turbulent.

Three innate energies actually moved rapidly towards the bush.

"Yu Lin, you are strong enough, but the wounded soldiers you sent out can't escape!"

Zhang Yuan looked up and looked at the constantly colliding energy.

The two Yan army Xiantian realm warriors deliberately went in the direction of the civilians and wounded soldiers leaving the city to lure Yu Lin over.

Zhang Yuan used the chaos to assist in the battle, with light and shadows floating in his eyes, his gaze fixed on the stone cliff on the right.

Over there, a deep red, almost black light flashed.

He is now in the late stage of the acquired realm. Anyone who can see the deep red and almost black light and shadow in his eyes must be at least at the peak of the late stage of the acquired realm.

Half a step to innateness.

The innate realm requires the refinement of innate true essence. Many strong people have reached the peak of the acquired realm and started to condense true essence, and their cultivation level is stuck at the half-step innate realm.

Although the strength of the masters in the half-step innate realm is not as good as those in the real innate realm, they have the true energy column and protective energy, and can also fight against the innate realm. It’s just that their true energy is too thin and they cannot fight for long.

The two Yan army Xiantian realm warriors lured Yu Lin here, and then surrounded and killed him with the help of a half-step Xiantian realm warrior.

"boom--"

The energy collided and the shrubs in the bushes were uprooted.

The Yan army who was hiding behind the cliff and was at the Half-Step Innate Realm flew out and stabbed Yu Lin in the chest with a long sword in his hand.

Yu Lin snorted coldly, swung his long sword horizontally to block the sword, and shook the blade, knocking the opponent back several feet.

"Master Ouyang, be careful. Yu Lin is a renowned expert in the Crimson Scale Army. With his help, he will surely help you reach the Xiantian realm."

"Don't be impatient, Master Ouyang. Wait until we have drained this fellow's true essence before you attack. This time, we will definitely help you reach the Xiantian realm."

The two Yan army Xiantian realm warriors remained calm, and the three of them connected their energy and surrounded Yu Lin.

"Thank you, uncles! When we return to Dayan, Ouyang Ming will introduce you to my father." The sword-wielding young man spoke loudly with arrogance on his face, pointing his sword at Yu Lin in front of him.

The two Yan army Xiantian realm warriors smiled and joined forces with the sword-wielding young man Ouyang Ming Sanding. Yu Lin, with a long sword in hand, fought one against three.

The Yan army dispatched two innates and one half-step innate to surround and kill Yu Lin, the commander of the Red Scale Army!
It's not just about encirclement and killing, but using Yu Lin as a stepping stone for this Mr. Ouyang to hone himself and enter the innate realm.

From the distant city wall, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard.

That was Zhao Changming, deputy commander of the Chilin Army, sending a message to Yu Lin.

If Yu Lin is defeated, Zhao Changming will lead the remaining troops in the city to fight to the death to rescue him.

"Zhao Changming, defend Toyota County to the death. No one is allowed to leave the city!" Yu Lin's voice was firm and resolute.

Perhaps he already knew that this situation would happen when he left the city to fight the enemy.

If he did not fight with the strong men of the Yan army, the civilians and wounded soldiers sent out of the city would not be able to escape.

In the eyes of the Yan army, Yu Lin is more important than those wounded soldiers and civilians.

Zhang Yuan leaned against a two-foot-circle pine tree, his eyes fixed on the battle circle dozens of feet away.

The Yan army that was chasing him had already retreated when the innate realm expert moved towards this side.

Zhang Yuan couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

If he moves even slightly, he will be discovered by the powerful people in the Innate Realm.

Judging from the way the Yan army acted, they would definitely come to capture him and Duan Hong to distract Yu Lin.

"I, Yu Lin, have been in the Red Scale Army since I joined. I have fought hundreds of battles, both large and small, and I have long since become indifferent to life and death."

In front, with a long sword in hand, Yu Lin's voice slowly sounded.

"I practice mountain swordsmanship, which is based on the power of the mountains. This swordsmanship condenses immense power. Everyone, be careful."

It was not to remind the Yan army in front of him to be careful, but to remind Zhang Yuan to be careful!
This may be the last time Yu Lin uses the Mountain Sword Technique for Zhang Yuan to see!
Zhang Yuan held down the handle of his knife, gritted his teeth, and stared at the knife in Yu Lin's hand.

"Om-"

The long sword shook, and Yu Lin slashed out with the blade.

Mountain swordsmanship, clouds and mountain mists.
