The seven or eight Yin Soldiers charged at me, their curved blades cutting through the air with a chilling whistle. The blades, corroded by time, had lost their shape and were decayed. I met them head-on with my sword, striking downwards. The blade of my sword sliced through the edge of their weapon, shattering it into two pieces. My sword then struck one of the Yin Soldiers, severing half of its shoulder.
There was no black blood, no severed limbs; the Yin Soldier dissipated into a wisp of black smoke and vanished!
The surrounding cold wind grew thicker, the chilling aura penetrating my pores.
More and more Yin Soldiers began to gather around me.
Seeing this situation, I understood what was happening; my extreme Yin energy attracted these entities. However, I felt no fear now. In that moment when my sword was raised, my thoughts seemed to spiral out of control.
Over there, Zhengyang burst forth like a beam of white light into the midst of the Yin Soldiers, slicing through them like lightning piercing through dense clouds. He leaped and soared in the air, darting low like a swallow skimming the surface. With the Pure Jun Sword flashing, three or four Yin Soldiers turned to black smoke and disappeared.
Soon enough, like an army of ants, the Yin Soldiers surged towards me from Zhengyang's side in a tidal wave. The momentum of the Yin Soldiers was overwhelming.
In a narrow encounter, only the brave prevail! It was time to fight with all I had!
I hoped Zhengyang could deal with the remaining Yin Soldiers and Chanyu!
However, I noticed something astonishing: the Yin Soldiers attacking the tomb passage turned to ashes after being struck by a burst of golden light. The tomb passage was temporarily safe; I had no worries at all!
In my pocket, the Master Copper Seal emitted a faint golden glow. The radiance shot out like a sword, visibly stunning some of the Yin Soldiers! Yet, the situation unfolded in an unexpected way…
The Master Copper Seal not only failed to intimidate the Yin Soldiers but instead enraged them completely. A group of hollow-eyed, blood-red Yin Soldiers brandished their curved blades with wild excitement, filling the air with their piercing screams…
"I'll fight you to the death!"
I roared with a voice that felt foreign to me; it was beyond mere desperation—upon reflection, it seemed utterly deranged, even frightening myself!
That fierce shout startled several approaching Yin Soldiers, causing them to retreat several steps. They hesitated with their weapons in hand, seemingly debating whether they should charge at me!
I understood that the only way to survive was to move forward!
The group of Yin Soldiers finally charged at me completely, surrounding me like a tide. I knew this was a life-or-death moment! Only a madman could survive in such dire circumstances, and to deal with the enemy, one had to be a hundred times more ruthless than them to achieve final victory.
There was no time for thought; the Yin Soldiers brandished their curved blades and swung them at me. Three Yin Soldiers came at me with their knives, and instinctively, I wielded the Azure Dark Sword to parry their blows, the sound of wind rushing past me. The force pushed me back several steps, and with a few more swishing sounds, a gust of yellow sand swept in, blinding my eyes. I simply closed my eyes and began to slash wildly in the darkness. Before long, I felt several cuts on my body, and sharp pain spread throughout me.
The pain brought forth anger and calmness!
I didn’t understand martial arts; I had only read a book on street fighting. The illustrations in that book were simple and crude but very practical. Following its teachings, I swung the Azure Dark Sword with all my might, aiming for the vital points of the Yin Soldiers.
With a crack, the curved blade of an approaching Yin Soldier was severed by my Azure Dark Sword...
Yin Soldiers were tangible souls; they wielded weapons from their past lives, which had long lost their lethality after thousands of years of decay.
Using this unrestricted fighting technique proved quite effective. Each move caught the Yin Soldiers off guard. I stabbed one down and charged at another, continuously slashing. It felt as though I had entered the lair of the Yin Soldiers; the Eerie Energy was chilling to the bone, as if I had fallen into an ice pit. The Yin Soldiers paid no heed to my suffering; seven or eight curved blades lunged at me simultaneously, forcing me to retreat several steps! My Master Copper Seal shone even brighter. This intense light temporarily repelled several Yin Soldiers.
"Crack!"
I swiftly withdrew my Azure Dark Sword and cleaved through one Yin Soldier holding a curved blade, severing its head and shoulder. The blade fell into the sand. The head and shoulder of the Yin Soldier rolled on the ground before dissipating into black smoke! Two more Yin Soldiers surrounded me from the side; my Master Copper Seal emitted a beam of light that instantly turned one Yin Soldier to ashes.
It turned out that while the Master Copper Talisman was a treasure, it could only deliver a fatal blow to the Yin Soldiers after absorbing enough Killing Intent! This time, I wondered how long it would take to absorb enough Killing Intent again. The Yin Soldiers were filled with both desire and fear towards the spiritual power of the Master Copper Seal. This was why they surged forward like a tide, disregarding Chanyu entirely. I understood this principle clearly and gripped the copper seal tightly.
Since I had promised Zhengyang to attract the Yin Soldiers, I should fight to the bitter end!
Another Yin Soldier swung its blade at me; I heard the rush of wind beside my ear. I countered with a swift strike of my sword, slicing its blade in half with a crack. The residual light from my sword severed the head of the Yin Soldier.
With a roll, that head tumbled three or four meters away.
The head rolled away, two hollow eyes still staring at me, the corners of its mouth curving into a strange smile that sent chills down my spine. That smile made my heart feel cold. Perhaps it was the bloodlust that had taken over; at that moment, I felt invigorated, thinking to myself, "Damn it, killing one is breaking even, killing two is profit!"
At that moment, I could no longer see Zhengyang. Meanwhile, the Han Army had already wiped out the Yankui Yin Soldiers but was hesitating to encircle them. I couldn't understand this, but I firmly believed that if I could hold on a little longer, my chances of survival would increase!
After multiple encounters, I realized that while the Yin Soldiers retained some intelligence from their past lives, it was merely a remnant of their most glorious moments. Their techniques were fierce but predictable; their attacks were powerful yet primitive. I had completely grasped their patterns!
My Azure Dark Sword faintly emitted an Azure Light, as if it had not tasted blood for a millennium. At this moment, the slaughter brought it endless joy. The sword was born to end conflict; sometimes, responding with violence was the most direct and efficient way!
I positioned the sword in front of me, alternating my grip as I slashed forward with each hand and then stepped forward. With this motion, I successfully toppled dozens of Yin Soldiers. It wasn't that they were weak; in their living days, just one of them could have easily killed me. However, after a thousand years of death and fading intelligence, they appeared incredibly feeble before me!
Thus, I charged through the ranks of Yin Soldiers, relying on my Azure Dark Sword to cut down countless foes.
The Yin Soldiers surged like a tide, rushing past me like the wind but ignoring me entirely; they did not attempt to encircle the Han Army. I was completely swept up in the tide of Yin Soldiers, continuously hacking away...
Between life and death, I had long forgotten everything about this world; all that remained in my heart was one word—kill!!!
Attack! Attack! Keep attacking!
I had no idea how long I had been killing; what felt like just over ten minutes seemed like a century. My arms ached, my entire body throbbed with pain, and I could barely lift my sword anymore. The tide of Yin Soldiers continued to surge; not just two or three waves came at me—I retaliated without hesitation. The slain Yin Soldiers turned into black smoke and vanished without a trace!
I had somehow crossed the Quicksand and fought my way into the oasis; I didn't even know how I managed to get past the Quicksand.
In any case, I had reached the enemy headquarters!
A surge of joy filled my heart; though exhausted, my exhilarated spirit jolted me awake.
Where was Zhengyang? I couldn't see him at all. Was he alive or dead? I had no time to care! In moments between life and death, one often can only focus on oneself!
I rushed toward the oasis, but the grove was empty, devoid of any human presence. As I walked beneath the trees, I felt an eerie energy pressing in on me; there was nowhere to hide, no way to escape. I could only search relentlessly despite the chill in the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several Iron Arrows whizzed past my head, the icy metal grazing my scalp, sending a cold sweat down my back. I realized I had fallen into an ambush. Having read a few books on counter-surveillance, I knew that remaining still was often safer than moving recklessly in such situations. I slowly crouched down and crawled along the ground until I reached a bush. After a quick glance around, I slipped inside. Just as I did, more Iron Arrows came whistling down.
One of the Iron Arrows pierced through my pant leg and lodged itself firmly in the ground. I drew my sword and cut away the fabric. Following the angle of the arrow, I quickly assessed its origin. The arrow had been shot from above; arrows fired from ground level require an upward trajectory to achieve maximum distance, resulting in a relatively shallow angle upon landing. In contrast, arrows dropped from a height have a steep angle due to gravity's pull.
Having deduced the source of the arrows, just then, several more Iron Arrows shot down. It was clear there were two or three hidden archers; if I didn’t take them out, not only would my life be at risk, but Zhengyang would also face a significant threat.
I held my breath in the bush and peered through a gap into the sky. On two treetops, I spotted two Yin Soldiers. They were standard hunters, clinging to the trees with their belts tied to branches. They were scanning for targets, ready to shoot Iron Arrows at any sign of movement.
Understanding this, I devised a plan to deal with them…
I shook a nearby branch to simulate movement in the bush. The Yin Soldiers fell for it and shot two Iron Arrows in response. "Damn it, they really are dimwitted!" I pulled out my Azure Dark Sword and affixed a Celestial Five Thunder Talisman to it. With a sudden burst of energy, I leaped up and hurled it toward the Yin Soldiers. A flash of Azure Light streaked through one of their bodies before the sword fell to the ground!
"Damn it! How could I forget that I only have one sword left? What about that other Yin Soldier?"
At that moment, as I threw my Azure Dark Sword, one of the Yin Soldiers perched on the treetop let out a sinister laugh. He spun around 180 degrees and aimed his arrow directly at me; an Iron Arrow whistled through the air towards me…
