Arrows continued to be shot out of the darkness, and the torches lit as the army marched became the best targets.
"Put out the torches!" Shen Yan circulated his energy and blood and shouted: "Array, fish scale array!"
The sound was deafening, resounding through the mountains and forests.
The soldiers of the Seven Killers Army immediately suppressed the panic in their hearts, formed a fish scale formation, and slowly retreated.
"Senior brother, what should we do now?" Zuo Liang said in a panic.
He was not good at the art of military formation, and had no other merits other than entering the second level of Fate Dao cultivation, so he was sent to be the vanguard under Shenyan.
"It doesn't matter. The terrain behind is flat and there is no possibility of an ambush. As long as we retreat a certain distance, arrows will naturally not be able to hurt us."
The fish scale formation is originally used for offense, but at this time it is good to attack and defend.
After all, the soldiers at the front of the military formation all have shields in their hands to block arrows. The rear is flat, so there is no need to worry about an ambush.
As the Seven Kills soldiers slowly retreated from the forest, the arrows were finally out of range.
At this time, shouts of killing could be heard in the mountains and forests. Cui Jian took the lead and led 600 soldiers to attack the Seven Killers Army.
As for Chen Hongyu and Wang Mu, they are in the middle army because they practice Xingdao and have weak bodies.
"Kill!" Cui Jian shouted, swiping the spear forward in his hand, his blood rising to the sky, and directly swept away several soldiers at the front of the military formation, revealing a gap, and the soldiers behind him stabbed directly in a cone-shaped formation.
At this moment, Yang Zheng led more than thirty heavy armored cavalry to fight out from behind the Seven Killers Army.
The rear defense of the Fish Scale Formation is relatively weak, and the only two monks in the second level of Fate Path among the Seven Killers are not here and are in the formation.
Therefore, Yang Zheng directly tore apart the rear formation.
The Yanyue knife in his hand slashed hard, directly splitting several soldiers blocking the road into two halves, and opened up a road like chopping melons and vegetables.
The second level of life was unknown to ordinary people. At this time, he alone killed more than thirty people in a short period of time.
The thirty or so cavalry behind him followed closely along his path, directly dividing the Seven Killers Army into two parts.
At this moment, Shen Yan finally came into contact with several people who rushed into the military formation.
The spear in Cui Jian's hand and the spear in Shen Yan's hand struck hard, and he felt a surge of blood in his chest. He quickly stepped back and handed the two generals of the Seven Kills Army to Chang Hui and Yang Zheng beside him.
"You can't do it if you don't accept it!" Cui Jian sighed, and went straight to kill the other leaders of the Seven Killing Army.
The first stage of the Fate Path is to move blood and strengthen Qi and blood. The second stage is called body tempering, and the three stages of body tempering include skin refining, Yi Jing, and bone forging.
The leader of the Seven Kills Army was at least at the second level of Fate Path and had fully tempered his body. Just a casual blow caused his blood to surge. Fortunately, their side had an advantage in the number of second level monks, so they had no worries.
On the other side, Chang Hui is also a monk in the second level of the Bone Forging Realm of the Path of Fate. Although he is not as good as Shen Yan, who has already reached the second level, he can barely hold on to him.
The spears in the hands of the two men kept colliding, and the aftermath often directly killed the surrounding soldiers, causing the surrounding soldiers from both sides to continuously dodge, forming a vacuum zone.
Yang Zheng on the other side faced Zuo Liang directly, and suppressed Zuo Liang firmly with the Yanyue Sword in his hand.
At this time, Chen Hongyu and Wang Mu also rushed towards the place where Yang Zheng and the others were fighting. However, because they were located further back, they could not reach them in a short time.
Chen Hongyu kept swinging the Red Cloud Sword in his hand, and sword energy flew out to kill each soldier one by one.
Seeing that Chang Hui was losing ground in the distance, the Red Cloud Sword flew out from Chen Hongyu's hand.
Wang Mu felt a cold light flash beside him, and the long sword in Chen Hongyu's hand flew directly towards Shen Yan not far away.
Wherever the Red Cloud Sword passed, the heads and necks of the Seven Kills soldiers were separated directly.
With the sword technique in his hand, the Red Cloud Sword was swung upwards. The sharp sword energy slashed directly from the top of Shen Yan's head. After knocking off his helmet, he continued to kill several soldiers not far away with unabated force.
"Gong Jin, you..." Wang Mu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Chen Hongyu's swordsmanship to be so fierce.
The sword passed by, constantly interrupting Shen Yan's increasingly fierce offensive, and also killed more than ten soldiers.
Seeing this, he did not give in. The jade pen appeared in his hand and drew a stroke in the air in front of him, leaving a golden sword mark.
The sword mark flashed and attacked directly towards Shen Yan, but was blocked by a spiritual light that suddenly lit up on Shen Yan's body.
"Lu Zhiying is good at talismans. I think Shen Yan must have a lot of talismans on his body." Seeing this, Wang Mu said to Chen Hongyu who was next to him.
At this time, Chen Hongyu thought of the uncle from the Chiming Sword Sect in the Chiming Realm who came to support him. When he was fighting with others, he smashed out a talisman. The Shen Yan in front of him was far worse than him.
Suddenly, the situation on Chen Hongyu's side was very good.
When Shen Yan saw this, he felt anxious. Originally, he thought that with his strength at the second level of Fate Path Tempering and Zuo Liang, it would be easy to deal with an empty county where county soldiers had been transferred, but he did not expect that Lin'an County would hide such a thing. So many masters.
"What a shame, it's all because my Xing Dao cultivation is too low and I can't use the military flag magic weapon. Otherwise, how could it fail under the blessing of military energy?"
Shen Yan felt extremely aggrieved. The two Xingdao monks in the distance distanced themselves and used magic weapons to fight with him, which took a lot of energy from him. Especially one of them was also a perfect cultivation base in the second level of Xingdao. If it weren't for his He has long been unable to hold on to the many talismans and seals given by his master.
With a cruel heart, regardless of the future of fate, the qi and blood in the body circulated at a high speed, and qi and blood were constantly generated from the body, squeezing the body's potential, and directly broke into the third realm of fate.
Shen Yan knew clearly in his heart that although he succeeded in breaking through and could win today's battle, he would probably have to stop here in the future.
He gently clamped his legs from the horse's belly, jumped up, and shot straight towards Chen Hongyu and Chen Hongyu.
In the battlefield, people were mixed, and Chen Hongyu and Chen Hongyu were unable to dodge for a while.
"We will definitely not die this time, but we will be seriously injured. After all, Mu Zhi and I are both Xing Dao monks, and our bodies are too weak. If we are approached by the general of the Seven Killing Army, I am afraid."
Just as he was thinking, Wang Mu directly stretched out his hand to pull him, and quickly hid on the tip of his toes.
???
Not letting anyone live anymore, Chen Hongyu looked at Wang Mu with a shocked expression. Not only had he reached the second level of sexual cultivation, but he also seemed to have reached the second level of life cultivation for the first time.
"At this time, Shen Yan has used secret techniques to squeeze out his body's potential and has become a monk in the third realm of fate. Coupled with the talisman he carries, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay."
Chen Hongyu could clearly see that Shen Yan had used some means to enter the third realm of fate. With a large difference in the number of people between the two sides, they could barely remain undefeated.
"It doesn't matter!" Wang Mu said confidently, "He is destined to stay here today."
