Chapter 39: The Immediate Events (Part 2)

The light in the middle-aged man's eyes flashed violently a few times, and his flying sword turned back again, and then began to accelerate sharply, with a hint of madness, pointing directly at Ding Ning, who was sixty or seventy zhang away.

As he detached himself from his own body, his earthy yellow light little sword accelerated to the extreme, and a soft bang exploded into a sonic boom visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, all the power in the middle-aged man's body was also instilled into this flying sword, which was completely out of his control, no longer a flying sword, but an arrow that exceeded the speed of sound.

Everyone didn't think of Ding Ning's choice.

When the flying sword began to accelerate wildly, Ding Ning took a step back.

He didn't just step back, but he pedaled the back edge of the chariot with his right foot.

The heavy chariot was warped.

Before the terrifying arrow of the flying sword came, the chariot with its front end upturned into a huge shield in front of him.

"Boom!"

The heavens and the earth once again resounded with a heavy hammer sound.

The bottom of the heavy bronze chariot protruded towards Ding Ning's body, pushing up a dome, and at the same time, a wave of qi burst out on this raised metal surface.

The heavy rune chariot shook at this moment, and on the other side, the thin earthy yellow sword shattered into countless small pieces like an ice pick hitting a thick wall, turning into a metal ray that scattered backwards in the sunlight.

"Wind!"

"Gale!"

The army behind Ding Ning once again resounded with a tsunami-like roar.

The neighing of countless rewound heavy crossbows rang out again, and waves of metal appeared again in the sky above.

The middle-aged man coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body was illuminated by the metallic reflection in the sky turning iron-gray.

"Let's go!"

He shouted again, not to the two attendants beside him, but to the two cultivators who had previously rushed out of the ground.

Poof!poof!poof......

The sound of sharp iron piercing flesh rang out.

Many clouds of blood mist poured out of the bodies of the middle-aged man and the two attendants, and in the time of one breath, such a picture disappeared from everyone's sight, and the three of them were no longer human, only the sound of countless gold and iron colliding with each other and the splash of broken flesh and blood.

The two cultivators who rushed out of the ground did not obey the middle-aged man's last orders.

The two cultivators let out a howl like a beast, dragging out a trail of afterimages among the grass, and rushed towards the army of the Great Qin Dynasty in a frenzy.

No military orders were issued.

Behind these two cultivators, there were several turbulent air currents swirling back, and in the middle of the air flow was sword light.

These sword lights were faster than the figures of these two cultivators, so they easily caught up with the bodies of these two cultivators.

Several waves of blood appeared on the bodies of these two cultivators.

The sword light moved in and out of their bodies, and their bodies disintegrated in a sharp fly, crashing to the ground.

This is a very bloody and cruel picture, Nangong Caishu has a feeling of wanting to vomit, but she forces herself to watch.

She knew that she had to get used to such images, because she would have to face more of them in the future, and only by getting used to it would she not be affected by emotions and make wrong judgments in the face of such battles in the future.

Rumble!

When the stumps of the two cultivators hit the ground, the heavy chariot lifted up smashed heavily to the ground again.

Because no one was sure whether there were any other cultivators in this grassland, no one cheered, but even the generals in the army who controlled those flying swords couldn't help but have indescribable joy in their eyes.

No one likes to see bloodshed, especially those around them.

Everyone knew very well what the price of an army would be if they were to be attacked by these cultivators.

However, now that the other party had seven cultivators dead, not even a single sergeant had died in the army they led.

"Why?"

Nangong Caishu looked at the stumps that were no longer rolling in the grass, took a hard breath of air, turned his head to look at Ding Ning and asked.

Taking Nangong Caishu with her was in itself to allow her to learn a lot of knowledge about marching and fighting from herself, so Ding Ning glanced back at her and said, "Fifty zhang behind our army, it is an area that cultivators in our army can't clearly perceive. Since these cultivators have decided to make a move here, there will definitely be cultivators who will sneak behind our army and launch an attack from the rear, which will cause the greatest chaos. ”

"What if those cultivators aren't there?" Nangong Caishu pondered, frowned and asked, "Then wouldn't all the most advantageous talismans we have concentrated fail?"

Ding Ning glanced at her and said seriously: "You have to understand that marching and fighting are the same as fighting cultivators, there is no 100% thing, just the possibility of pursuing the greatest probability. If these people really don't even have a single person in the rear, then the strongest blow in our army is naturally wasted and useless. But the biggest one is likely... In order to avoid the cultivators in our army from noticing, the few people who are the strongest in cultivation and the best at concealment will go around to the rear of the army and launch them at any time. This is also their strongest strength. ”

Nangong Caishu nodded.

She thought for a moment, sorted out her thoughts, and then asked, "In the end, in the eyes of most of us, that middle-aged swordsman should have no way out, and after the assassination failed and he couldn't go back to recover his life, he wanted to take refuge in us. At that moment, when he took out his sword to force out those two hidden cultivators, he was also awe-inspiring with killing intent, in my opinion, there was no flaw, why would you order to attack them instead?"

"On the battlefield, no judgment can be made based on the momentary images seen by the eyes, and the superficial things that our eyes see are often false. ”

Ding Ning said slowly and patiently, "Previously, after these cultivators found out that we had noticed their whereabouts, there was a disagreement, but in the end, these cultivators still chose to fight here, especially after I waited for a long time, and after telling them for sure that I knew that they would start a battle here, they still did not give up, which can only show that there is a strong leader among them, and this powerful leader must not only have iron-like means and determination, but also have the cultivation to overwhelm all of them." And judging from the cultivation embodied by those people just now, it was the middle-aged man who was the strongest. Therefore, that middle-aged man is the leader, the one who forces the rest of the cultivators to fight here. ”

After a pause, looking at Nangong Caishu, whose face slowly stiffened, Ding Ning said calmly: "So all the efforts he made, even if he sacrificed those two cultivators, in the end it was only to complete his mission, get close to me, and kill me." ”

Nangong Caishu swallowed with difficulty, she looked at Ding Ning deeply, unable to understand how this young man from a wine shop could have such a brain, how could he have such amazing insight.

"Then how did you find out that there was a disagreement between them?" Nangong Caishu asked a question that even Guo Feng and several generals were puzzled about.

"If a practitioner's mood is wrong, then he will inadvertently act differently than usual. ”

"For example?"

"For example, the fluctuation of the breath on the body, such as the route you are used to traveling and the distance you keep, such as some traces on the route that would not have been left in the first place... A lot like that. Sometimes this negative emotion will also be vented on some things along the way, such as snakes and insects passing by. ”

"Do you even notice that?"

"Do you remember one of the falcons I killed with my flying sword the night before?"

"What does it have to do with this?"

"The falcon was holding a bamboo rat with its head cut off. ”

Ding Ning looked at the unbelievable Nangong Caishu, and said lightly: "First of all, the bamboo rat is very cute, and harmless, and very afraid of people, and will flee after discovering someone, unlike a threat like a poisonous snake, there is no need to kill it with a sword at all." The meat of the bamboo rat tasted very good, but if he didn't eat it after killing it, it could only mean that the cultivator was only in a wrong mood when he cast the sword at that moment. ”

Nangong Caishu looked at Ding Ning blankly, "How can you notice these details?"

"Look at these people behind you. Ding Ning didn't turn his head, but said softly to Nangong Caishu: "You just need to think that the life and death of these people are all in your hands, if you don't pay attention, these people are likely to become corpses... You'll naturally be more careful. ”

Nangong Caishu subconsciously turned his head and looked at the condensed sergeants behind him, his body trembled inexplicably.

"One last question. ”

Nangong Caishu was silent for a long time before raising his head again and said, "In the end, his sword is very fast, but you obviously expected it. That's why you had time to block the chariot, how did you anticipate it, and if you expected it, why didn't you dodge it directly, but destroy a chariot?"

"Because I gave him the opportunity to forcibly compete with my flying sword. ”

Ding Ning looked at Nangong Caishu, his face became slightly solemn, and he said softly: "My injury is very serious, far from recovery, as long as he chooses to fight with my flying sword in the end, he will at least make my injury more serious, but he chose such a sword." In the face of the whole army, it is impossible for him to kill me with such a sword. This only showed that he wanted to test whether there were any powerful cultivators in the army who were hidden. It's just that such an attempt doesn't make any sense to him, because he's going to die soon, so he just tries to show other people, such as stronger assassins. ”

Nangong Caishu thought about this layer clearly, and her face suddenly became ugly.

"As for why you want to destroy a chariot..."Ding Ning turned his head to look at her and said: "This is also a similar problem to Fang Cai, a very simple question, his sword is fast and strong, if I just dodge..."

When it comes to this, Nangong Caishu has completely understood.

Behind Ding Ning, there were many sergeants.

She didn't have any more problems for the time being, but before Ding Ning let the army move forward, he looked at her again and explained seriously: "Don't spend your energy thinking about the origin of these people, in the battle where you can't leave with the army, a general only needs to think about the things that this army encounters along the way, and what you need to deal with is always the enemy you are about to encounter and not the enemy who is far away." ”

......

"Why do you seem so focused on grooming her to be a general?"

When Ding Ning returned to the carriage where the eldest grandson Qianxue was, the cold voice of the eldest grandson Qianxue sounded in his ears.

"Because she is very suitable to be a general, and her life seems to be arranged to be a general. Ding Ning said softly and slowly: "And this is the matter in front of us, and there will be a lot of battles to be fought next." ”

(Yesterday I said that today is expected to be three more, but the result is that it is written so late or two more, I know that it is hopeless, and I can only make up the number of words in the last chapter as much as possible, but there is a heart that does not give up my efforts, so I will continue to run for the third watch tomorrow.) Let's see if we can do three more tomorrow. Having said that, arranging the march to fight and the transition to the battlefield is really much more difficult than the world between cultivators alone, so difficult... )
