The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Without a doubt, if he could, Yan Dan would not want to ambush and kill several Mo family leaders here.

But this is the only way they can get back to the Mechanical City, and the place where they are most likely to be caught.

Only here is it truly safe.

Dao Zhi listened to Jing Ke's words with a serious expression, but did not say anything more, only nodded.

After experiencing the crisis at the Crown Prince's residence, he had come to realize what kind of person Yan Dan was.

They harbored the determination to kill them completely.

They can't just die like this.

No matter what, we must expose Yan Dan's conspiracy and save the Mohist school.

The other Mohist leaders remained silent after hearing the conversation between Jing Ke and Dao Zhi.

While the Mohists were talking, the peasant disciples who appeared around them did not hesitate at all and launched an attack on Jiang Chuan, Jing Ke, and several Mohist leaders.

They didn't simply swarm forward and attack the crowd.

Even though there were only a few people, they still formed a powerful formation.

Once the formation was set up, a solemn atmosphere filled the space between heaven and earth.

In terms of martial arts skills alone, Master Ban was practically nonexistent, but in terms of extensive knowledge, he certainly knew a lot. Upon seeing this formation, his expression immediately turned grim. "This should be the Farmer's Land of Twenty-Four."

"Legend has it that the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches were created by Shennong after observing the twenty-four climate changes of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and named after the twenty-four solar terms. Originally, they were meant to teach agricultural disciples to remember the changes in spring planting and autumn harvest, but Shennong discovered the laws governing life and death within them, and thus devised a set of sophisticated and exquisite martial arts tactics. The most ingenious point is that this set of tactics can be activated by two or more people, and the more people there are, the stronger the power. If there is a disciple guarding each of the twenty-four positions, then even the most outstanding masters will not be able to escape."

"Now, the number of our peasant disciples who are surrounding and killing us is far more than just twenty-four."

"There are probably at least ten times as many people."

After learning from Jiang Chuan that these people were disciples of the Farmer School, Master Ban immediately thought of this famous Farmer School formation.

Jing Ke said coldly, "Even if the Farmer's Earthly Branch Twenty-Four is powerful, we absolutely cannot die here."

"Yes."

Master Xu also responded in a deep voice, "We've already reached the vicinity of the Mechanized City, how can we let a villain like Yan Dan succeed?"

Master Xu harbored deep hatred for Yan Dan.

Firstly, Yan Dan murdered the former leader of the Mohist school, the Six-Fingered Black Knight. Secondly, because of Yan Dan's dragon-slaying plan, his mother died while forging the sword. Even though his mother died with a sense of relief, she was still dead.

If there hadn't been the dragon-slaying plan, would my mother have survived?

This sword should never have existed.

"The twenty-four directions of the land in the farmhouse are not as terrible as you might imagine."

Jiang Chuan sensed the tension among the Mo family members and said something indifferently.

In the next instant, the longsword on his back was drawn, a streak of light appeared, and it fell into his hand.

In the original novel, Gai Nie, with Tianming by his side, was still able to wipe out three hundred elite Qin soldiers in the Valley of the Crescent Moon.

At present, the number of disciples from the farming family is at most around three hundred.

It's unclear whether the peasants overestimated or underestimated the strength of the Mohist leaders.

That's probably an overestimation.

Yan Dan probably knew that the Mo family's leaders weren't very strong, but in order to complete the mission safely, he still chose to send so many people.

But they ultimately underestimated the power of Jiangchuan.

Gai Nie was able to kill three hundred Qin soldiers single-handedly, and Jiang Chuan was capable of doing the same.

Even if these people mastered the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches, their strength might be even more terrifying than the three hundred Qin soldiers of the Crescent Moon Valley in the original story.

But when it comes to the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches, it seems like everyone knows them.

Coincidentally, Jiang Chuan had just obtained the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches from Tian Guang earlier and had studied them.

His understanding and comprehension of this battle formation even surpassed that of these peasant disciples.

Before the Twenty-Four Earthly Schools had fully formed and launched their attack, Jiang Chuan took the lead, single-handedly wielding his sword, and leaped out to charge towards the hundreds of peasant disciples.

Upon witnessing this scene (of Li Haohao), two figures hidden behind the many disciples of the Farmer Clan watched quietly. Among them, the man with a sinister appearance sneered, "Seeking his own death, overestimating himself!"

The other, burly man remained silent.

However, in the next instant, Jiang Chuan's displayed strength exceeded their expectations once again.

Wherever the sword passed, many disciples of the peasant school were cut down one after another like leeks, with no strength left to fight back.

Even if they formed a formation, even if their energy was connected, Jiang Chuan's attack on one person was equivalent to dealing with everyone. However, Jiang Chuan's sword could slice through the weak point where their energy was connected and accurately take their lives.

This scene took everyone by surprise. Jiang Chuan's strength was astonishing. Even when facing hundreds of people alone, he showed no fear whatsoever.

What does it mean to be unfit for a hundred men?

This is truly unbearable!

Chapter 356 One against many, gaining the upper hand!

With only a sword, he charged into the formation of hundreds of peasant disciples. Not only did he not suffer any disadvantage, but his momentum was unstoppable, and many peasant disciples were killed by him one after another.

It was as if it wasn't hundreds of people fighting against a few, but one person fighting alone and slaughtering hundreds.

Upon witnessing this scene, the two people hiding behind the farmer's disciples immediately couldn't stand still.

The man with the sinister appearance immediately drew his sword and charged into the crowd of peasant disciples. Their goal was to surround and kill these Mo family leaders, preventing them from returning to the Mo family's mechanical city in peace.

Although it is unknown who made this move, or whether they are members of the Mohist school.

But we absolutely cannot let this person ruin our important plans.

The sword is as powerful as a rainbow.

Jiang Chuan wielded his longsword with unrestrained abandon. His sword light was like a mighty waterfall, and the attacks of the many peasant disciples were no match for his moves. At the same time, his attacks were like a master butcher dissecting an ox, almost reaching the Dao. He could always penetrate into the gaps between the peasant disciples' connected qi and take their lives.

The Twenty-Four Earthly Branches are indeed extremely ingenious, a battle formation created by Shennong based on his observation of the way of heaven and earth. Its very existence conforms to the natural way.

The battle formation itself is flawless, but the person who executes it is flawed.

550

Especially these disciples from the farming family, although they practiced the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches, they only practiced them roughly.

Their understanding of the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches was limited to the surface level, without having practiced it to a deeper level.

It would be understandable if Jiang Chuan hadn't studied the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches.

Unfortunately, he had studied it and even mastered the most exquisite chapters on day and night in the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches.

He combined the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches with his mastery of the Yin-Yang transformation, and had long since mastered them to a high level. With just a glance, he could easily find their weaknesses and then defeat them.

In addition, Jiang Chuan possesses an indomitable spirit, capable of holding off ten thousand men.

Logically speaking, even if Jiang Chuan is included, along with Jing Ke, Dao Zhi, Master Xu, Master Ban, and Xu Zhi, there are only six people. The Farmer's Clan has so many people that Jiang Chuan alone could not possibly hold them off.

But the reality is that Jiang Chuan single-handedly blocked everyone's attacks, and no one managed to get close to the Mo family members.

It wasn't just because Jiang Chuan moved with incredible speed, sometimes appearing here, sometimes there, his sword flashing with imposing aura that even the combined efforts of many peasant disciples couldn't break through his attacks; it was also because his aura was like the blazing sun in the sky, and everyone was bearing the weight of his powerful energy.

He had a feeling that if he gave up blocking Jiang Chuan and instead attacked the others, he would be killed.

That is precisely the reason.

What happened next shocked the Mo family members.

They were prepared to fight to the death, hoping that Dao Zhi could take the opportunity to escape and return to the Mechanical City to get reinforcements. Even if they couldn't save them, it wouldn't matter; at least they had to be one step ahead of Yan Dan and reveal the truth to the public.

As it turns out, it seems that this is no longer necessary.

Jiang Chuan alone withstood the attack of hundreds of farmers, and what's more, these farmers didn't seem to put any pressure on Jiang Chuan at all.

The strongest of Jing Ke's legendary Eighteen Swords of Heaven-Shaking Skill is called the "Five-Step Killing Sword," which is said to be able to kill a hundred people within five steps.

This means that if Jing Ke gets within five steps of the enemy, even a hundred men cannot stop him.

But that's just boasting, and you still need to get within five steps.

The distance of five steps gives others very little time to react, while Jing Ke's sword is extremely fast.

Jiang Chuan, however, is different. Jiang Chuan's "one hundred people are not suitable" means "one hundred people are not suitable" in the literal sense.

He fought against hundreds of people single-handedly, and was able to hold his own against them.

No, "back and forth" is not the right word; rather, Jiang Chuan (chaf) is suppressing hundreds of people.

This is absolutely incredible.

The fact that hundreds of farmers formed the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches was unprecedented, yet they still ended up at a disadvantage.

The Mohists were not the only ones shocked.

The farmers were equally shocked.

A sinister-looking, burly figure emerged from among the many disciples of the Farmer's Clan. His sword was uniquely designed, its tip resembling a shovel, its broad blade featuring double notches and six fangs. When wielded, it emitted a blue aura, and his techniques faintly echoed the roar of a fierce tiger.

A mighty sword light swept towards Jiang Chuan.

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan first extended his left palm and attacked the many disciples of the Farmer Clan. The palm force was vast, stirring up layers of wind and clouds. The disciples of the Farmer Clan immediately suffered from the terrifying shockwave, and their bodies became unstable, leaving them no time to launch an attack on Jiang Chuan.
