Chapter 18: Sword Practice
On the battlefield, the temple became more and more weak, and wanted to cut off the royal army in several ways, but the follow-up troops did not arrive for some reason, and now this interception plan not only failed to split the formation of the imperial troops, but instead led to the temple troops being surrounded by the royal family.
"Damn, why are there only two of the nine Black Flame Envoys? If you fight like this, you will be wiped out!" scolded in a low voice, Lin Chi's face was full of anger.
Listening to Lin Chi's tone of blaming the other Black Flame Envoys, Dugu Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised, isn't this guy also a Black Flame Envoy, why does it seem that his status is obviously a lot higher than that of others?
"You wait here, I'll find a high ground to see the situation before making a decision!" After speaking, Lin Chi suddenly had a slender black short sword in his hand, and the hilt of the sword was inlaid with a fiery red and round pearl, I don't know what the origin was. I saw that he continued to tap under his feet, and the whole person moved away three feet away, and then raised his right hand, the black sword in his hand suddenly extended, and stretched out a long whip to penetrate the stone wall of the mountain, and the person jumped up, overlooking the situation of the entire battlefield.
After a long time, Lin Chi pulled back and said, "It's really a mistake in judgment, the royal commander's decision is really clever, in my opinion, they have already used the advantage of numbers to encircle and suppress us?" ”
Dugu Yun was stunned for a moment, and said, "You just saw how many people are in the royal family, and how many are we?"
Lin Chi said helplessly: "The enemy is about 20,000 people, but in fact, there are only 5,000 people fighting with us, we have two Black Flame Envoys, each commanding 900 people, but after a long-distance attack or attrition in battles on the way, in fact, there are about 1,600 people now!"
This data is so disparity, Dugu Yun only felt that his head was big, and said: "What do you think, is there any difference between such a few people coming over and sending them to death?" As soon as the words came out, Dugu Yun himself was stunned, and when he said this, he completely exposed the fact that he was not a person in the temple. However, Lin Chi, surnamed Suo, didn't hear the meaning of this sentence, and just said to himself: "How do I know, this is the first time I have commanded a battle, and the commander on the opposite side is afraid that he has been in battle for a long time, and his experience is naturally not the same as mine, how about you change your command?"
Hearing him say this, Dugu Yun immediately understood that the identity of the person he had been following must be astonishingly high in the temple. Is it too child's bald to let him command such a big battle at will? Looking at the battlefield like Shura in front, both warring sides have entered the hand-to-hand combat of white hot words, both sides dismounted to fight, the personnel of the temple troops held two-handed swords and resisted without fear of death, and every moment someone fell but then someone came up without fear of death, but as the commander-in-chief of this battle, he could not see any anxious expression at this moment, and looked at the front indifferently, as if the front was the infighting of the royal family, and the dead were all ants, and they had nothing to do with themselves!
"Your intention shouldn't be focused on chasing down the royal family, right?" Dugu Yun said suspiciously.
Lin Chi nodded, withdrew his black short sword, and said: "I just probed, the battle formation arranged by the other party is very rigorous, so it is impossible to say that it is impossible to use means to rescue it, but the time for their counterattack is limited, as long as you can hold out until the other seven Black Flame Envoys arrive, then you have a chance to survive!" After speaking, he stared at Dugu Yun, although the long bangs completely covered his eyes, Dugu Yun felt the eagerness of his eyes.
"I understand!" After speaking, Duguyun took out the Floating Cloud Sword and ran towards the battlefield.
This is a test ground of courage and iron blood, although the front is the purgatory field of nine deaths and one life, but it is also necessary to rush forward without hesitation, although Lin Chi did not say it explicitly, but Duguyun also understood that this war is actually essentially a trial used to screen new recruits, so he abandoned all tricks and tricks, blind pursuit along the way and the current hard encounter, maybe the probability of the destruction of the whole army is infinite, but if someone can survive in this Shura field, then the benefits of this operation are huge.
Just when Dugu Yun was approaching the edge of the battlefield, the royal army quickly divided a dozen or so people with steel knives to surround him, and they had already learned about it by watching with Lin Chi before, and arranged a battle plan, obviously quite afraid of this black flame envoy.
Dugu Yun stood with his sword in his hand, holding the Floating Cloud Sword tightly, at this moment, although he was surrounded, there was an inexplicable fanaticism in his heart, "Breaking the Knife Style!" He had done it to Zhang Xiu in the past, although his cultivation was now completely wasted, but he was not facing a master like Zhang Xiu, which made him a little unbearable.
Just as he was about to start, he heard someone shouting, "Slow!" Dugu Yun hurriedly turned his head over, only to see a big man wearing bright black armor and a beard looking at him with a strange smile, and suddenly his heart was shocked, only to feel that there were several strong winds behind him, and hurriedly turned sideways, and he could avoid a few steel knives that were cut at him, but those people took the lead, how could they let go of Dugu Yun so easily, one hit missed and then the horizontal knife was cut, one person was fine, but five people and five knives, cut in no particular order, the bright steel knife shot out several rays of light under the light of the fierce sky, and Dugu Yun's eyes could not be opened. Dugu Yun secretly scolded himself for being an idiot, he was still on such a low-level under the siege, but there was no stagnation in his hands, although his cultivation was completely lost, but years of cultivation gave him sensitive nerves, and he took the steel knife cut over in turn by feeling, and the royal family still wanted to pursue, but when he lifted the knife again, he only listened to the "click" With a sound, the steel knife in his hand was cut in two, and his face was stunned for a while, and he was all stunned in place, just such a gap, Duguyun hurriedly withdrew, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and barely opened his eyes, and once again made the sword condense to protect his whole body, and he didn't dare to be careless.
"That kid's sword is good, but I don't know if it can be compared to the Phantom Sword in my hand!" Lin Chi stood on a high place and looked at Dugu Yun and muttered.
Seeing that Duguyun's long sword was so sharp, the bearded man groaned for a while, and said to Duguyun: "You give me your sword, I can consider leaving you a whole corpse!"
"Yes, the sword is here, come and get it if you like it!" After speaking, Duguyun shook the long sword in his hand and looked at the big man with a smile, as if the two sides were not fighting for life and death, but talking about a pleasant business. After saying that, the long sword was handed out, so that it was the introductory move of the nine swords with the wind, the sword rose with the wind, stabbing at the bearded man, although the big man secretly from the embankment, but understood that the sword was not easy to provoke, did not dare to block the horizontal knife, hurriedly pulled back, but at this moment the sword had already been deflected, and turned to the person standing behind him, the person had broken the steel knife before, and he did not dare to parry, so frightened that he retreated again and again, but only two steps back, he saw that the long sword had already turned around and stabbed the person who came to the rescue, and suddenly the person could not dodge, was pierced through the chest by the long sword, and died on the spot!
This sword is flowing smoothly, although it seems that there are many points of attack, but it is completely a treacherous sword that covers the lack of strength and speed of Dugu Yun, before the bearded man made a deception, then he also used the treacherous sword, Dugu Yun only felt very happy in his heart at the moment, "Dugu Nine Swords" is really magical, I am afraid that the family swordsmanship practiced in the past cannot be compared, and there is no need for fighting support, it is really tailor-made for himself.
Seeing the absolute superiority and the death of one person, the big man's face changed, his face was like frost, and he said coldly: "You are not happy to find yourself by yourself!"
"It doesn't matter if I'm in pain or not, what matters is whether you're in pain or not!" Suddenly, Dugu Yun's face suddenly appeared ecstatic, and he said, "Divine messenger, come and save me!"
The bearded man said disdainfully: "You think I am you, and I can easily get on the ......" Suddenly he only heard a "swish", and the tip of the sword was already in front of his throat. He thought that Duguyun pretended to be like that to make him turn his head, but in fact he was just distracting him a little. The bearded man was shocked, and retreated sharply, but how could the long sword that stabbed him be so easy to dodge, seeing the tip of the sword approaching inch by inch, sweating all over his body in a flash, but it was just like this, providing some reaction time for the people around him, the knife was broken and did not dare to approach, and the person who had not been injured in the knife hurriedly drew the knife and slashed it, Duguyun smiled slightly, and immediately returned to the sword and swept it, "click" a few times, and no one of the dozen or so people surrounding Duguyun except for the black-bearded man had a complete weapon.
Just a few times, the bearded man was sweating profusely, he couldn't imagine that a white robe envoy was so powerful, and the dozen or so people he brought were all elites, although the sword was extremely sharp, but the moves of others were not so subtle, but in this way, all the weapons under his hands were easily cut off in an instant, which really made him incredible.
In fact, how did he know that Dugu Yun is now using the Dugu Nine Swords, although the appearance of the Nine Swords with the Wind is used, although these moves without the assistance of fighting energy seem to be a joke, but in fact, these moves contain the subtlety of the Dugu Nine Swords, only attacking and not defending the swordsmanship plus the Floating Cloud Sword, which is as sharp as mud, if it weren't for Duguyun's failure to master, otherwise these people would have to die instead of breaking their weapons.
Although he failed to hurt a person this time, he damaged all the enemy's weapons, and seeing the expressions of those people, he was obviously very afraid of himself, Duguyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward, and the people around him were shocked, and they retreated one after another, the military heart has been lost, in order to boost morale, the bearded man stiffened his scalp and felt helpless to raise his knife to Duguyun and slash at Duguyun, but because he was afraid in his heart, his hand always trembled slightly. But life and death, once there is a trace of cowardice in his heart, it is already a loss, at that moment, his heart is impartial with a long sword, and the bearded man has not yet had time to show a surprised expression, he has lost consciousness and can never wake up again.
Dugu Yun slowly drew out his long sword, he didn't look at the corpse at his feet, although his previous actions had already shocked everyone, but he must not be distracted in this environment, otherwise the one who died would definitely be himself.
Sure enough, although this group of people was frightened in their hearts, they were well-trained after all, and they knew that they could not retreat, so they signaled to each other with their eyes, only to see five of them jump up and hit in the air, and the rest leaned over and rolled, so that the broken knife slashed towards Dugu Yun's legs, if this joint attack came out at the beginning, it may bring great trouble to Dugu Yun, but at this moment Dugu Yun has become more and more proficient in the mastery of Dugu Nine Swords, and their weapons have been cut off, in this case of eliminating the other's strengths, how can there be the slightest effect, Dugu Yun lifted the Floating Cloud Sword, and saw these dozen black shadows rushing towards him, which was an eyesore, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mindAfter thinking about the trembling of the tip of the sword, he went to the throat point of a dozen people, only to hear five loud noises in a row, and the five people who jumped in the air and their faint time difference fell to the ground, and together with several people on the ground, they turned into corpses and circled around Dugu Yun. Dugu Jiujian's "Broken Arrow Style" can hit back thousands of sword hidden weapons with just one move, and it needs to be hit thousands of times in an instant, although Dugu Yun can't do it now, but it is not a secret weapon that comes quickly, with his super high recovery speed, he gave up the defense and chose to take the initiative, which just coincides with the essence of Dugu Nine Swords' only defending and not attacking, so such a blow can instantly kill the enemy.
Seeing that he could easily kill these more than ten people, Dugu Yun was stunned in place, even he didn't understand why his strength had done what he needed to do in the past, could it be that this Dugu Nine Swords was so magical?
