Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty Six – The Unforeseen Consequences of Lei Peng’s Blow (2/2)
He Jian grunted; his face pale, and his eyes shocked! He was injured! He didn’t believe it, he had actually been injured! And injured by a ningmai!
His flying sword was destroyed! The other’s blow that brutally cleaved his flying sword into two!
For any sword xiu, their flying sword was connected with their life. If the flying sword was damaged, the sword xiu would also be heavily wounded!
It was the first time he had been so heavily wounded!
What was so hard for him to accept was that the other was a ningmai sword xiu!
How was this possible … …
His gaze was unfocused and his expression blank.
———
Ma Fan and the others were also shocked by Lei Peng’s blow. One move heavily injuring a jindan sword xiu, such an absurd event had truly happened right in front of them.
But when they noticed that Lei Peng was maintaining his attacking posture motionlessly like a statue, all of their expressions changed!
Damn it!
This guy was having an epiphany at this time! Ma Fan groaned inside. This was the battlefield!
An epiphany was a rare chance for a breakthrough and would occur randomly. No one knew what could consistently initiate epiphanies, but everyone knew that epiphanies were chances for a breakthrough! Yet if the state of epiphany was disturbed, that was undoubtedly wasting a great opportunity!
No one knew when the next epiphany would be activated.
But Ma Fan reacted quickly. He advanced rather than retreating, shouting, “Kill!”
At this time, the other side’s expert was heavily wounded, and their formation was at its weakest. In a conflict of dozens of people, one jindan xiuzhe could be the decisive factor in the fight.
If they shrank back at this time, it would give the other time to react. This was the other’s territory. If the enemy reacted under such conditions, then they, Ma Fan’s side, would be in danger.
Attack in substitute of defense was the wiser choice. As to the rest, they would have to rely on Gongsun Daren!
The inexperience of Ming Lie Battalion was given full exposure at this time. These sword xiu that had assumed that victory was in their grasp and hadn’t thought that the situation would suddenly reverse. This caused them to be two whole beats late in reacting, only then did they muster a panicky response.
On the battlefield, especially fights in such a small area, two beats slower was enough to be fatal!
Compared to the other side’s panic, the Sky Peak Platoon with Ma Fan at the lead didn’t hesitate and used their full power in their first attack!
The sword energieswere like a sun that rose, unable to be looked at directly!
Three section wave killing charge!
They were like a burning blade that sliced through butter!
Fifteen sword xiu were killed upon contact!
The ling armor on their bodies only gave them a brief respite before their armor cracked like eggshells. The [Sharpness] formation technique on the Gold Crystal sword was used to great effect at this time. The fifteen sword xiu didn’t even have the time to wail before they were perforated, and lost their life!
Succeeding in the first attack, Ma Fan and the others didn’t hesitate and launched the second wave!
Only now did the enemy sword xiu seem to wake up and raise their swords to resist in panic.
Ma Fan looked at these slow opponents as though he was looking at a crowd of sheep waiting for slaughter. He did not show mercy.
How could the panicking sword xiu be a match for Ma Fan and the others?
Among the criss-crossing sword energies, blossoms of blood sprayed. The fragility of life showed itself. In a blink, another ten sword xiu lost their lives.
In just two waves of attack, more than half of the other’s division had been lost!
———
All of Ming Lie Battalion was shocked by such a ferocious attack. The pride in their hearts disappeared without a trace in front of those cold and bright sword energies.
Ming Lie’s expression also changed. The capabilities of this little troop of ningmai surpassed his imagination!
He didn’t know what those gold flying swords were made up of, but were at least fifth-grade. What shocked him the most was that every person in this little troop had at least comprehended the second level of sword essence. There were even several in the third level!
Truly elite!
Coldness flashed through his eyes. He did not feel fury at the fatalities of He Jian’s little team. For any battle general, it was a basic skill to maintain calm in the face of fatalities.
At the same time, he noticed the motionless Lei Peng. An epiphany?
A dark smile floated to the corner of his mouth.
A ningmai sword xiu that heavily wounded a jindan with one blow and activated an epiphany, there probably wouldn’t be a battle general that would be willing to give up this kind of subordinate!
Ming Lie admired that team leader’s response. But how could he not take advantage of such a good opportunity?
The strength of this little group of elite astonished him greatly, but he believed that this kind of elite skill couldn’t be the level of the entire troop. He was considering if he could capture these elite people alive and persuade them to follow him.
Calming down, Ming Lie quickly threw these absurd thoughts to the back of his head. What was most important now was to achieve victory!
The battle formation quickly changed and pushed towards Lei Peng’s position.
Inside the Black Turtle, Gongsun Cha lightly laughed. “This guy’s luck is pretty good.
As he finished, his expression suddenly became cold. He said peacefully, “Attack!”
The battlefield was full of unpredictable factors. No one had expected Lei Peng’s sudden epiphany. This caused the two sides to directly enter battle without sufficient probing!
