BXBX NOVEL Chapter 72 - 72: Slaughter
I desire to ride the wind northward, snow falling on the imperial land like mats; I desire to tread clouds far and wide, facing a million-strong army fearless of defeat.
Amidst the wind and snow, Lu Yun charged fearlessly at the forefront of his troops.
“In this battle, 1 shall comprehend the Slaughter Conception and ascend to the status of Grandmaster!”
As he drew closer to the enemy’s meticulously prepared army, Lu Yun’s thoughts grew increasingly tranquil.
Even against overwhelming odds, I can still kill countless enemies back and forth!
As the leader of the undefeated Black Flag Army, he had already reached the limit of his current realm. As long as he could comprehend the Slaughter Conception, he could advance to become a Grandmaster and one of the world’s top experts.
By then, what could a vast army of ten thousand do?
Through countless battles, he had refined his Seven Kill Saber Technique to the extreme and had reached a bottleneck in strength.
This time, surrounded and attacked by tens of thousands of soldiers, his killing intent was fully stimulated, and he faintly guessed a way to break through his limits and overcome the bottleneck.
Now was the time to test that conjecture.
If successful, he would be promoted to the ranks of Grandmasters, and no power on earth could ever subdue him again.
If he failed, he would merely die!
The Seven Kill Saber Technique knows no fear in battle nor death.
Fight to the madness and battle to the frenzy, slaying all enemies and living on the edge of death!
This is the true essence of the Seven Kill Saber Technique!
As time slowly passed, the distance to the enemy’s army was growing closer. With his heart gradually becoming calm while comprehending the essence of the Seven Kill Saber Technique, Lu Yun reached a state of mind as still as water.
However, what’s different is:
His aura and the killing intent around him were constantly surging, as if they could pierce through the clouds.
At this moment,
The earth shook, the wind and snow howled, and the neighing of war horses reached his ears.
He saw numerous black dots appearing in the distance on the snow-covered wasteland. As he got closer, the black dots grew larger, revealing the formation of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Mounted soldiers at the front!
Infantry at the back!
During the charge, they could become like a raging torrent capable of tremendous power.
When in a defensive formation, they resembled a towering fortress on the wasteland, solid and impassable.
“Kill!”
Seeing the enemy, the three thousand Black Flag Army soldiers’ morale surged, raising their long sabers in unison. The atmosphere intensified as they launched their fiercest charge.
Although there were only three thousand of them, their aura was extremely strong, seemingly capable of crushing any obstacle.
In front of the massive army, a general clad in silver armor drew his treasured sword from his waist, and the glittering sword emitted bursts of sword Qi, grinding the falling snowflakes into powder.
He stared fixedly at the charging Black Flag Army and said in a deep voice:
“Fellow soldiers!”
“Here!”
“Here!”
More than ten thousand soldiers answered simultaneously, their voices echoing across mountains and rivers, causing the flying snowflakes to melt instantly.
Formed by the melting snow, the icy cold raindrops felt like sharp arrows as they struck their pitch-black, heavy armor.
“After this battle, there will be no more Black Flag Army!”
“Kill!”
The murderous cry shook the heavens, alarming the clouds.
As the ten-thousand-strong army charged, their terrifying momentum unfurled like a fierce, unparalleled torrent, violently colliding with the Black Flag Army’s aura.
In an instant,
The mountains and rivers lamented, and the earth trembled.
“They’re here.”
A fierce smile appeared on Lu Yun’s calm face.
The next moment, with a sudden burst of speed, his body surged forward, carrying the long-brewing momentum towards the oncoming enemy army.
Rip-
The killing intent condensed into momentum, and the True Qi condensed into a saber aura, swiftly slaying many of the enemy cavalry charging forward.
“Killing intent becomes momentum, saber Qi becomes aura!”
The Silver Armor General’s face changed.
Killing intent condensed into momentum, saber Qi coagulated into aura!
The genius general of the Black Flag Army had actually reached the invincible power of a half-step Grandmaster, and this information has never been leaked, hidden far too deeply.
As he looked at the terrifying saber aura still pressing forward and killing everything around, he didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately slashed out with his sword, the two powerful forces colliding in mid-air.
Boom!!
The air exploded, freezing raindrops were crushed, and a powerful blast swept in all directions.
Surrounding charging cavalry were forced back by the terrifying wave, those who couldn’t retreat in time directly flipped over with their horses, with no part of their body intact.
Such incredible strength!
‘Lu Yun’ looked at the Silver Armor General before him, his heart surging with battle intent.
That strike just now, although not his full strength, had reached 90% of his power, but it was still easily blocked by the enemy, showing their great strength.
Despite his surging battle intent, ‘Lu Yun’ did not continue to tangle with the opponent and withdrew after his successful saber strike.
His goal was originally to accumulate enough killing intent against the army, causing a qualitative change through quantitative change, ultimately breaking through the bottleneck of the Seven Kill Saber Technique, comprehending the Killing Conception, advancing to the realm of the invincible Grandmaster, and breaking the encirclement of the army.
A Half-step Grandmaster was almost invincible within an army, and hundreds or even thousands of soldiers in a Killing Array couldn’t pose a threat to him.
‘Lu Yun’ entered the battlefield as if no one else was there, every saber strike killing over a dozen people and horses.
“Damn!”
The silver-armored general was furious and immediately ordered, “This person is too strong, the army should try to avoid him, after killing these 3,000 Black Flag Army, we will join forces to deal with him.”
As the words fell, he moved his figure, flew off his warhorse, and chased after ‘Lu Yun’.
He was also helpless, the opponent, after all, was a half-step Grandmaster and didn’t hesitate to fight in the midst of ordinary soldiers.
He angrily slashed out with his sword, and the terrifying sword light pierced and chopped down towards ‘Lu Yun’s back.
But ‘Lu Yun’ seemed to have anticipated the attack, his figure flashed, dodging the deadly strike, and retreated, killing in another direction.
“As long as we delay some time, after my army annihilates the Black Flag Army, we can form a military array and turn around to slay him!”
The Silver Armor General coldly snorted and continued to pursue closely.
“Kill!”
‘Lu Yun’ was now completely immersed in the slaughter.
After just a few slashes, hundreds of enemy soldiers had died under his blade.
As the cold wind howled and chilled rain drizzled, the blade was stained with blood.
The more he engaged in the battle, the deeper his understanding of the Seven Kill Saber Technique.
At the same time, a force of slaughter gradually condensed and grew, making ‘Lu Yun’ even more excited.
Whoosh!
A terrifying sword light struck fiercely, the powerful force causing the air to scream, ‘Lu Yun’s’ eyebrows furrowed and then quickly smoothed out again.
“Now is not the time!”
‘Lu Yun’ swung his saber backhandedly, clashing with the opponent’s strike, and then using the powerful counter-shock force to fly back out, his figure rejoining the army.
Whoosh!
A long spear swept through the air, the powerful aura causing the air to surge and roar, and the protective true energy outside the body rippled.
Although this power was not comparable to a half-step Grandmaster, it was exceptionally strong.
However, ‘Lu Yun’ did not dodge this time, turning back to chop out with his saber, the fierce saber aura erupting and filling the startled general.
It was too late to retreat.
Launching an attack was the best defense, using all his strength, he raised his spear horizontally to block.
Boom!
The saber aura fell, the spear was severed in half, and the man’s head hit the ground.
“Like a mayfly shaking a tree, overestimating one’s abilities!”
Coldly snorting, ‘Lu Yun’ continued to swing his saber.
