Chen Ping's Sword
Chapter 413 - 193: Challenging an Army Alone, Dominating with a Single Sword"Help me, help me, enemy attack..."
"Quick, quick, form the array, there are assassins, no time to delay!"
Elder Mingyu, during his time mingling in the Jinghai Navy Camp, wore a black long robe, his face like white jade, imposing extremely, at a glance he was a high-level figure...
Especially with the swarm of insects that always accompanied him, garnering respect for his profound martial arts, yet adding a few threads of eerie mystery, making others easily avoid provoking him.
Additionally, he and Elder Xuan Bing were deeply respected by the heir of King Jinghai, Ji Xuanhe, who fondly called them "Uncle Master," further elevating their esteemed and noble status.
However, this illustrious and mysterious formidable grandmaster began shouting for help like a humiliated young wife or big girl.
His voice was shrill and piercing, his face distorted, making it hard for the onlookers to believe their eyes.
"Is this still the Extreme Yin Sect’s Unity Realm Elder?"
"Is such the demeanor of a grandmaster?"
King Jinghai felt ridiculous in his heart, yet he couldn’t react immediately.
Indeed, he had never witnessed such a situation and had no prior experience in dealing with it.
In contrast, several commanding generals under his command, having retreated from the frontlines against the Beizhou Barbarians, were accustomed to cries for help and to seeing the people’s misery. They knew how to break out of such situations.
First, of course, was to show their fangs, making it intimidating to easily offend them.
Then, sending forth the army to crush the enemy into powder.
That was all.
They saw Elder Mingyu howling as he swept past them.
A cavalry general raised a great halberd, roaring furiously, "What scoundrel dares invade our Jinghai Navy Camp, truly outrageously bold, taste this axe from me, Tongg Dazhong!"
The man had a dark face, dark helmet, broad shoulders, and a wide waist, over nine feet tall, riding a high-headed horse that treads clouds and snow.
He pulled the reins, leaping swiftly, the halberd blade cutting wind, stirring a tempest, slicing towards Chen Ping’s neck.
The voice arrives along with the person.
The horse arrives along with the halberd.
The strike swift as a meteor.
However, he died as quickly as a meteor.
Poof...
A flash of gold light.
The crowd heard the thunderous roar.
The iron halberd shot skyward along with the round-eyed, full-bearded large head, soaring skyward, tumbling in the air, sprinkling a shower of blood droplets.
The horseman passed by.
Chen Ping merged his body and sword, transforming into a mighty dragon, diving headlong into the military array.
Behind him, the cloud-treading snow horse let out a loud noise, its front hooves got caught, skidding several yards forward.
The soldiers obstructing him, whether wielding weapons or clad in heavy armor, upon the impact of the golden light, scattered like dozens of marbles, crashing and splashing towards all directions.
The cries of pain and screams created a cacophony.
"Release arrows, release arrows, form arrays for interception, Zhang Mingdao, Zhang Mingdao..."
Someone roared angrily.
Calling a name, followed by dozens, hundreds, and thousands of cavalry responded swiftly, forming a square behind him, raising swords and spears, crossbow arrows raining down.
Chen Ping immediately recognized it, thinking this general had some skill in commanding troops. Even when suddenly attacked, he remained unflustered, promptly organizing the army for battle.
Though he couldn’t be regarded as a famous general, he could be considered a brave general, fearless, adaptable, and quite formidable.
Listening further to the opponent’s shouts.
Chen Ping’s face darkened...
Despite some slight accent issues, he clearly heard the name called was Zhang Mingdao.
Before Xingqing Prefecture dispatched troops, he heard Shang Zhen recount intelligence that he remembered clearly.
Originally, the Three Prefectures were not without combat strength.
The Three Prefectures, with twenty-eight counties, had three fierce generals guarding the great cities named Tongg Dazhong, Zhang Mingdao, and Fang Gui.
The burly axe-wielding man charging forward fearlessly just moments ago, was swift in horse and heavy with halberd, skilled in martial arts, having nearly crossed into late-stage innate, paired with military array qi, was considered a rare and formidable veteran.
Before him, Zhang Mingdao displayed a mature and refined qi mechanism, under the shimmer of his silver spear, layers of shadows appeared. Offense surrounding military qi surged like a raging fire, fiercer than Tongg Dazhong.
Additionally, he was prepared, having already gathered a military array behind him, launching a sudden attack, suppressing Chen Ping’s forward momentum slightly.
"With troops and generals, they have fought before. Even when encountering the Beizhou Rushing Wolf Cavalry, they have the strength to fight at least for some time, allowing the people to evacuate.
However, these few formidable generals did not retaliate nor release a single arrow, fleeing at the sight, abandoning the Three Prefectures’ people to the Beizhou Barbarians."
If truly outmatched, with insufficient skills for survival, even ants pursue life, fleeing is understandable and not a strange happening.
Chen Ping had little interest in focusing on few cowardly generals, considering those were frightened and timid individuals, but cowardly people are found everywhere, nothing unusual.
Yet, chasing Elder Mingyu all the way through the camp, what he witnessed was—
The majestic Jinghai Army.
Compared to his own Xingqing Prefecture army, their equipment was significantly more superior.
Commanding General?
Each possessed strength and courage, considered rare experts.
But why were these formidable experts hiding, not doing their job?
The innocent people wailing bitterly, perhaps never expected these generals would turn out to be "cowards," abandoning them under the Beizhou Hu Cavalry’s iron hooves.
"You are Zhang Mingdao, you deserve death."
Chen Ping coldly shouted, his body’s light suddenly boomed and exploded, like a phoenix rising towards the sun, a scorching golden sword aura thunderously slashed forth.
