Chapter 74: Fighting One Against a Divine Heavenly General
Leaving aside the Khitan soldiers for the moment, just considering these dozen or so strong and skilled men who had never appeared before but suddenly broke through the river, Wu He was certain that they were all coming for him.
Perhaps it was because he had captured the son of the Xi king.
"grown ups!"
"Don't panic, form ranks, and wait for an opportunity to break through!"
With wolves in front and tigers behind, the situation was critical, and Wu He forcibly suppressed the pounding in his heart.
Fortunately, the Hu Jie Army was well-trained, and as soon as the order was given, the troops immediately formed a battle formation.
Zhang Huaiyu had already rushed over upon hearing the commotion. With a sweep of his whisk, an invisible primordial energy spread out, causing a golden-red glow to emanate from the bodies of the Tiger Swift Army members.
"General Wu! My senior brother has ordered you to seize the opportunity to break through the encirclement. You don't need to stay here with my Celestial Master's Mansion..."
She opened her mouth to shout, but before she could finish speaking, she felt a powerful force crash into the martial formation, making it even more powerful than before.
Zhang Huaiyu turned around in shock and was astonished to see Wu He's body shimmering with golden light. The new Qi body that had been added to him was the source of the energy!
"How can he have so much Qi?!"
She was dumbfounded. The growth of innate Qi was only related to the depth of one's cultivation. She had never seen anyone who could possess such innate Qi by only cultivating the Golden Light Mantra.
It is several times greater than what we have seen before, which is something that ordinary cultivation could not achieve.
In a flash, countless thoughts flickered through my mind, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.
All-in-One Killing Ointment!
Zhang Huaiyu remembered that Wu He was also a participant in the battle of Sizhang Village, and later he even saw him sneaking off at night.
Did he really succeed?
Given the urgency of the situation, she had no choice but to set aside her question for the time being.
Now, with the support of Wu He's abundant innate Qi, the killing formation is even stronger, and the ferocity of each Tiger Swift Army soldier is fully unleashed.
Surprisingly, he withstood the onslaught of an enemy force several times his size, remaining steadfast like a rock in a river, unmoved by any attacks from the east, west, north, or south.
However, this is clearly not a long-term solution.
Qi will eventually run out. When the martial formation is broken, no matter how fierce the hundred or so men of the Tiger Swift Army are, they will not be able to turn the tide.
Human wave tactics are always extremely terrifying.
"General Wu, your lightness skill is excellent, please break through the encirclement quickly!"
"Brothers, hold them off here!" Sun Lin roared hoarsely.
Wu He tied up his long hair, drew his Plum Blossom Blade, and his handsome face was filled with coldness.
"Protect Master Zhang."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped out of the army formation, brandishing his sword and charging headlong at the dozen or so skilled fighters.
"return!"
Zhang Huaiyu was startled when he saw this.
Given the current situation, going into battle would be tantamount to suicide.
But Wu He ignored him and used his lightness skill to directly pass over the numerous Khitan soldiers.
The enemy and our numbers are vastly different.
But when faced with a desperate situation, the brave will prevail when paths cross!
shuh~
The riverbanks were raging with waves, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
The moment the Perfect Thunderclap Blade Technique was unleashed, the chilling blade light instantly beheaded the two people in front of him, so swiftly that they couldn't even see the movement.
All I knew was that a flash of light appeared before me, and then I was lifted into the sky.
[Progress completed (Thunderclap Blade Technique perfected): 160/500]
"Two early-stage Strong Bone cultivators, you've died a worthy death."
Amidst the splashed crimson, Wu He stood bathed in blood.
His perfect archery skills granted him astonishing perception, allowing him to clearly perceive changes in his surroundings even when surrounded by ten strong and skilled warriors.
Despite having only one pair of eyes, they are incredibly perceptive, able to see in all directions and hear from all sides, remaining unscathed even amidst the dense and deadly encirclement.
Even if there are times when it is unavoidable, one's perfected Golden Light Mantra can make it as hard as steel, so there is no great danger.
But it's a different story when it comes to those skilled in bone strengthening.
Wu He alternated between the Splashing Knife Technique and the Thunderclap Knife Method, his knife flashing as easily as slicing melons and vegetables.
It was clearly a hunt by a group of people, but in his case, it was more like a wolf entering a flock of sheep!
Until the very end.
[Progress completed (Thunderclap Blade Technique perfected): 500/500]
[The Thunderclap Saber Technique has been fully completed; this volume will be temporarily stored away.]
You have been granted one opportunity to pre-access the ultimate sword technique.
After a series of battles, the progress in swordsmanship, which had seemed so far off, was suddenly maxed out!
"Hehe~"
Wu He's eyes flashed with a frenzied fighting spirit as he glanced at the Plum Blossom Knife in his hand.
After being chopped repeatedly, several gaps had appeared on it.
It wasn't that the knife was of poor quality, but rather that he used it far beyond his limits, such as slashing a hammerhead with the knife and forcibly breaking through armor on numerous occasions.
If Qiao the Cripple saw his meticulously crafted knife being kicked by Wu He like that, he would most likely curse as well.
"Good knife, it hasn't broken yet."
He sighed slightly, then looked at himself.
The armor was already broken and scattered, hanging on his body with a clattering sound, so he simply ripped it off.
His body was also covered with hideous wounds, like knives. If it weren't for the Golden Light Mantra protecting him, he would have been chopped into mincemeat long ago.
His gaze then fell upon the last remaining strongman.
He was a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist, a true master of the late stage of the Strong Bone Realm. Most of the injuries on Wu He's body were caused by him.
But he's not doing well either. Wu He chopped off one of his hands, roughly roasted it over a fire, and then charged at him again, yelling.
"***..."
Wu He couldn't understand what he was saying, but judging from his expression, he was probably shouting to embolden the King of Xi and the Eternal Heaven.
Wu He planted his knife to the side and met the attack with his bare hands. He nimbly dodged the latter's swing of a pickaxe, and then bursts of explosions rang out from his body.
The tendons along his spine taut and throbbed, the power of the Jade Tiger's strange bones seemed to roar.
boom!
One punch.
Just one uppercut.
After a dull thud, the burly man suddenly leaped into the air, blood spurting from his mouth, his teeth visibly flying out.
This was followed by a series of cracking sounds, suggesting that the chin had been smashed.
"Phew~"
Wu He exhaled, his body trembling like a frightened tiger, and delivered a powerful elbow strike to the heart, sending the opponent flying.
Boom!
With this strike, the innate Qi and the Jade Tiger Bone exerted their power simultaneously. Even though the big man's muscles were tough, he was directly hit so hard that he saw stars and his temples swelled up.
It screeched and rubbed against the ground for dozens of meters before finally coming to a stop.
He was delirious and tried to get up, but he was too weak to continue. After struggling for a while, his head lolled to the side and he stopped breathing.
[Progress completed (Tiger Stance Skill at Minor Mastery): 200/200]
With the enemy dead, Wu He finally completed the minor progress of his Tiger Formation.
"Hehe!!"
However, he didn't have time to prepare in advance. After a series of battles, even if he were made of iron, he was now somewhat exhausted.
Looking back at the army's formation, it too was now teetering on the brink of collapse.
"withdraw!"
"Brothers of the Tiger Swift Army, retreat!"
At this time, the Celestial Master's Mansion had also successfully repelled the Khitan shaman team and was heading towards their side to provide support.
"Senior brother! Come quick!"
Surrounded by enemies, Zhang Huaiyu's face turned deathly pale, and the gray-white whisk in his hand was already stained red.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
The people from the Celestial Master's Mansion barely managed to rush in, and Zhang Lin shouted loudly.
But Hu Jiejun acted as if he hadn't heard them and continued to fight the enemy to the death.
"They only listen to Wu He, but Wu He now..."
Zhang Huaiyu noticed something amiss, and before she could finish speaking, her voice abruptly stopped when she looked towards the battlefield where Wu He had just been.
There were corpses strewn everywhere, and pools of blood, but Wu He was nowhere to be seen.
"Whoa—!"
Immediately, a loud and clear neighing sound came from the horse, drawing their attention.
The warhorse raised its head high, and on it, a pale-faced youth, bare-chested, wielded a sword, his eyes shining like stars.
"I'll clear the way, then we retreat!"
