Chapter 45: The Value of Life and Death
Brutal and bloody battles suddenly unfolded, except that one side was for the sake of survival, and the other side was because of orders.
Yu Zhen and the others were extremely nervous at first, and even the hand holding the sword was constantly trembling, but when the two sides really met in close combat, they cut off the first opponent, and after the warm blood splashed on their faces...... They gradually found that all the previous fears in their hearts had disappeared naturally.
Maybe it's not that it's gone, but it's that they don't have time to feel it at all, because the earth-shattering war drums and the strong smell of blood have gradually numbed their nerves, and the only thought left in their minds is to kill.
The subtle moves of ordinary life were useless at this time, and the only thing they could do was to keep repeating the three actions of slashing and stabbing mechanically.
The profound true yuan gives them a combat power far beyond ordinary people, but in the face of opponents who can't be killed no matter how they kill, the consumption of physical strength is undoubtedly huge.
Suddenly, Long Ziming shouted, "Elder Meng, open the way!"
Meng Chen, the true yuan of the whole body gathered in one place, and the long sword in his hand fell forward suddenly, and in an instant, a surging galaxy rushed out, and in an instant, a road about twenty zhang long was vacated in the dense crowd.
Such a terrifying move immediately suppressed the fighting soldiers, and caused a temporary stagnation in the fight.
Long Ziming hurriedly shouted: "Raid, the Xingyue guards responded on both wings. ”
Everyone immediately rode their horses and galloped, and in the blink of an eye, they ran nearly ten feet.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted: "Keep killing, there are many of us, consume them!"
After these words fell, the momentum of Uyama's rush suddenly stalled, and the sword halberds collided again, making a piercing sound.
The dusty long sword was raised again, and the true yuan was agitated, and he wanted to open the way with the sword qi again, but at this moment, he suddenly became alert, and the direction of the long sword changed, slashing towards the air on the left......
"Ding"
The crisp sound of the clash of long swords sounded...... There was an extra sword in the air, and there was an extra person in the air to the left of the dust!
It was a man covered in heavy armor, his heavy helmet completely covering his face, leaving only his two eyes exposed. But that's not the point, the point is that judging from the short-lived blow, a person's cultivation is not much weaker than his own.
Among these ordinary soldiers, there are even masters of the Rain-Covered Realm!
Meng Chen's face sank, and he immediately made a judgment, if he couldn't kill this person, not to mention the breakthrough, there would undoubtedly be a fool's dream, and there would be a large number of casualties on his side.
Thinking of this, with a swing of his long sword, he actually abandoned Wuya under his crotch, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the other party.
Yu Zhen and the others continued to rush and kill under the guidance of Long Ziming, and although the speed was slow, they still moved forward steadily.
Gradually, the dust that abandoned the horses gradually fell behind, and he did suppress the master of the Rain-Covered Realm, so that the other party had no time to take care of him, but in a sense, didn't the other party contain him and make him unable to break through?
Such a result is likely to have been expected by Ran Qiu early on, after all, the task given to him by the mysterious man was to kill Meng Chen at all costs.
Everyone was only concerned about fighting, and they didn't notice the situation of Meng Chen, but they couldn't notice it, and Long Zi Mingyan, who was the Red Tiger General, couldn't detect it? As the commander in front of the battle, he had to see the six roads, listen to the eight directions, and always grasp the battle situation in the battle, so that he could make tactical arrangements in time.
But when he saw it, he didn't say a word except that his gaze had become incomparably complicated.
At this moment, two soldiers on the high platform suddenly held the general flag and waved it in the air a few times, and then there was a very short pause in the shouting and killing of the army, and the next moment it was a rapid rush towards the battle circle where the dust was.
But for Yu Zhen and the others, the long-term fight not only made their movements stiff and mechanical, but even their thinking had long been numb. They just felt the pressure around them, but for a moment they didn't realize what was going on.
However, Long Ziming didn't give them time to react, and almost at the moment when the army surged, he shouted: "Raid at full speed!"
Everyone immediately took advantage of the sudden decrease in pressure to ride their horses and gallop, and after about half a pillar of incense, they actually rushed out of the encirclement of the army.
Long Ziming shouted again: "Don't look back, keep rushing!", everyone ran wildly all the way, never stopping at all.
Everyone rushed out of the distance, and Moon Shadow was the first to notice the anomaly...... Suddenly, except for the three guards, there was no trace of the dust.
She immediately stopped the horse under her crotch and asked anxiously, "What about the Elder Taishang?"
When these words sounded, everyone stopped breaking through and looked around anxiously.
Seeing this, Long Ziming hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry! When you broke through just now, Elder Meng had already led the other guards to break through from the other side, and I had agreed with him to meet in the mountains and forests ahead, we just need to rush there as soon as possible!"
Hearing what the other party said, everyone did not doubt him, immediately nodded, and rode away. After all, even they have rushed out, and it is not a problem for Meng Chen and others who have cultivated to a higher level to successfully break through.
Only Mo Xun, who was riding with Yu Zhen, frowned slightly after hearing this, his face was complicated, and he seemed to want to say something and stopped, but in the end he chose to be silent.
I don't know how long it took to run, and everyone rushed into a mountain forest with Long Ziming......
Under the leadership of Long Ziming, everyone came to a relatively hidden mountain stream cliff cave.
However, Moon Shadow soon noticed something unusual again...... She groaned slightly, and suddenly frowned and looked at Long Ziming, who was sitting on the ground against the cliff wall and was redressing his wounds, and said in a deep voice:
"You said that Elder Taishang made an appointment with you to meet here?"
Long Ziming didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "I said so, what's wrong?"
Moon Shadow Xuan stared at the other party and said in a deep voice, "You're lying!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and they looked at Moon Shadow Xuan in confusion.
Long Ziming glanced at Moon Shadow Xuan and asked, "Why do you think I'm lying?"
Moon Shadow Xuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "This cave is so hidden, how can Elder Taishang know about it, and how can he agree with you to meet here?"
Hearing this, everyone's faces were suddenly revealed, and everyone stared at Long Ziming with unkind faces, Yu Zhen stepped in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "You are really lying, he ...... He didn't make an appointment with you?"
Long Ziming glanced up at Yue Yingxuan and Yu Zhen, and said nonchalantly: "That's not important, the important thing is that you all escaped alive at this time, isn't it?"
Hearing this, everyone changed color drastically, and Yu Zhen reached out and grabbed Long Ziming's collar and shirt, and dragged him up from the ground alive......
"What do you say? What does it not matter? Why do you lie to us? What about others? What about people?"
Long Ziming looked pained, glanced at Yu Zhen, and said softly: "If it weren't for my injuries, you would have been so presumptuous, you would have been a dead man!"
Yu Zhen said a little frantically: "I'm asking you, why are you talking to me about these useless things, what about others?"
At this moment, under the signal of Moon Shadow Xuan, Yin Mo and Hai Yuntao hurriedly pulled Yu Zhen away, and Yin Mo said in a deep voice: "Calm down!"
Yu Zhen said in a little panic: "How can I calm down, how can you let me calm down......"
Moon Shadow Xuan looked at Long Ziming with a solemn face and asked, "Why did the general deliberately hide the truth and trick us here?"
Long Ziming glanced at the other party and sneered: "Tricked here?" I think you may have one thing you haven't figured out, I saved your lives, saved the lives of all of you!"
Long Ziming said again: "It's not that I don't want to tell you the truth, but I'm worried that you are not ready to face the truth...... Now it seems that my fears were right. ”
Moon Shadow Xuan's face was solemn, and she said in a deep voice, "So, Elder Taishang is still trapped in the formation, right?"
Long Ziming said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, why do you think our pressure will suddenly weaken? How can we break through and succeed?"
Yu Zhen scolded angrily when he heard this: "You knew it, then why don't you say it?", scolding while struggling to rush towards Long Ziming, but was held down by Yin Mo and Hai Yuntao.
Long Ziming sneered and sneered: "Why don't you say it? What can you do if you say it? Can you save him? Or are you ready to cry loudly and cry to death the army of 100,000? Hmph, with all due respect, I can't think of any other possibilities besides one more person to die, maybe you will get in the way and become a burden, so that the other party will die faster." ”
Seeing that Yu Zhen was about to get angry again, Long Ziming suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Shut your mouth! I know what you're going to say, but that's all nonsense for me!"
He swept over everyone coldly and said coldly: "You may think that I am cold-blooded and that I am indifferent to life, but what I want to say is ...... You're right, you're very right!"
He suddenly laughed at himself: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither...... I've seen too many deaths...... In my eyes, sacrifice and death have long been a regular means of my pursuit of victory, and there is no other meaning at all."
"There is only victory in my eyes, there is no life or death...... How can you fight a war without dying? The enemy will die, and so will my men, and even I may die. This is the truth, whether you accept it or not, there are some things that you don't have the right to choose when you face them."
"But there are many kinds of death, some are lighter than a feather, some are heavier than Mount Tai, I can't control the life and death of others, I can only try to give as much weight to their death as possible. And a win, in my opinion, is the best way. ”
"Bringing you out alive this time is a victory, a victory that the dust also expects, a victory that is tacit between me and him. ”
When Long Ziming said this, he suddenly took a deep breath, raised his head to the sky, and muttered:
"Everyone has his mission and values, and his mission with you is to keep you safe...... You live, even if he dies, he is willing, otherwise, living is also a pain. ”
