Chapter 565: Formation Slash
The commander's face was covered by a metal visor, and his specific expression could not be seen, but the eyes behind the visor were fixed on Chen Chuan without blinking.
After Chen Chuan jumped into the air, he raised the spear in his hand and pointed it in the direction he was coming from. On his right side, the deputy general who had already changed horses also raised the spear in his hand.
The two spears, one on the left and one on the right, almost blocked his way forward. Not only that, there was a faint light flashing on the front end of the two spears.
Although Chen Chuan's charge was extremely sudden and caught them off guard, it still took some time for him to reach them. For people like them, it was enough time to adjust and build up their strength.
They firmly believed that with their combined strength, even opponents of the same level would not be able to break through their blockade and combined attack.
The sacrifices of those warriors and soldiers before were not important. As long as they were still there, they could continue to be recruited and conscripted.
In their opinion, even ten dedicated warriors could not defeat a fighter who had reached their level, and after killing this person, the chances of breaking through the rift would be greatly increased. In their eyes, this exchange was worth it.
But at the moment when they both handed over the spears, they both felt an extreme sense of danger in their hearts at the same time, which made their hair stand on end, and that feeling... actually came from behind!
After Chen Bitong came down, he did not wait aside, but made a big circle and went back to the rear of these people. Relying on his rich experience and special strength, no one discovered him along the way.
When he saw Chen Chuan draw his knife, he knew the opportunity had come, so he took decisive action.
The general had not expected that the people above would rush down, and he had never expected that an enemy would come from the heavily defended rear at this time.
At this moment, everyone, including themselves, put all their strength into the front and had almost no resistance to the attack from the rear.
However, as warriors who were only one step away from exceeding the limit, they did not lose their composure even in the face of such an emergency, but took timely self-rescue measures at this moment.
First, the horses beneath them sensed their eagerness and took a stride forward, and they themselves squeezed out all the remaining strength from their bodies, and then squeezed out the essence and blood from their hearts to meet the expected fierce attack.
In a moment, two palms hit the bodies of both of them, and both of them couldn't help but tremble.
However, both of them showed shocked and angry expressions at the same time, because they did not feel anything from this palm strike. The power in it seemed like just a bubble that would burst at the slightest touch.
Chen Bi Tong was still far away at this moment and had not rushed to the front. The palm he just launched was sent out by taking advantage of the crack.
Although he was several kilometers away from the rift at the moment, it was not that he could not use the rift to dodge and pass through within this range. It was just that the farther the distance, the slower it would take to dodge in and out, which had almost no effect in the limited fighting battle on the same level.
However, he took advantage of this point now, shuttled at a longer distance, and attacked. Because his spirit and strength arrived in front first, the two people in front felt threatened and inevitably overreacted.
He had used this weakness, originally slow in transit, to great effect here. Following this palm strike, a shadow remained, and this time he truly appeared behind the two men. He thrust out his palms, striking them twice with a thud!
The two men had never imagined that at the critical moment just now, the person behind them actually used a feint, but this move was an open conspiracy. They did not dare to bet that the other party would not make an effort, which led to a misjudgment in their own adjustments.
At this time, with the arrival of the real attack, they could no longer adjust. As a powerful force rushed into their bodies, their spines and limb joints made crackling sounds.
The power of Xian Kong Jin ran wildly in the bodies of the two people, causing a series of damage, which caused the faint light flashing in front of the spear to suddenly dissipate. Not only did the power disappear, but the strength in the body could not be gathered.
At this moment, the knife that Chen Chuan had raised high finally fell.
The knife flashed and disappeared.
Chen Chuan brushed past the main general, and after walking dozens of meters away, his feet landed on the ground with a bang. He stood still, still maintaining the posture of chopping with a knife.
Behind him, the commander froze for a moment, then half of his head and chest slipped off his body and landed on the ground with a thud.
At the same time, the flagpole that symbolized the commander-in-chief also broke, and it fell down with the flag, raising a large cloud of dust around it.
Only then did Chen Chuan slowly raise his hand to put away the knife and stand up straight.
He originally only wanted to chop off the other party's heads, because he took into consideration that these people were very different and seemed to have transformed into another creature. He was worried that after chopping off the head, he could reattach it or change the body, so this time he simply cut it open vertically and used his strength to crush the brain tissue inside.
At this moment, after Chen Bi succeeded in defeating another deputy general with one move, he threw dozens of punches at him in a row. Even though the string power was not mainly used for killing, the opponent could not withstand such a strong impact.
As the last punch hit the back of the head, with a snap, the man's eyes popped open and his head drooped to one side. Although the armor restrained him, the body inside was now a pile of mud.
Chen Chuan glanced at the scene at this time. According to the expected situation, they thought that the best result was to kill one of the main generals or deputy generals, and it was possible that they would also have to pay some price.
Unexpectedly, the two men cooperated very well and killed both the commander and deputy commander on the spot in one fell swoop.
Originally, in order to avoid being surrounded afterwards, they planned to withdraw immediately after success, but looking at the current situation, with the two generals and deputy generals dead, there was almost no one on the field who could restrain them.
Several on-duty warriors in the front had almost lost their combat effectiveness in the collision, and the remaining people were also terrified. These people were the backbone of the army. As long as they were killed, the remaining ordinary soldiers would pose no threat to them.
So he looked at Chen Bitong and asked for his opinion, but Chen Bitong shook his head at him.
He thought for a moment and realized that Chen Bi Tong was experienced. Since he did not approve of this approach, there must be a reason for it, and he would not insist on it.
Without any hesitation, he immediately put the knife behind him and quickly turned towards the crack.
When passing by the corpse of the main general, he looked down and saw the sword of the auxiliary general. It had a black handle, a vermilion scabbard, and various exquisite patterns on it. It was hung with tassels and jade stones. It looked very gorgeous. So he picked up the sword with the Xuejun Knife as he moved forward.
Chen Bitong tore down the fallen flag and returned to the crevice with Chen Chuan.
Not long after they returned to the top of the mountain, they heard the rumbling sound of artillery coming from the rear. Looking back, they saw that the shells landed right where they were originally. At this moment, clouds of fire and smoke were rising from that area.
Chen Chuan asked, "Aren't they afraid of their own people being blown up?"
Chen Bitong shook his head and said, "They must have known the situation ahead before making this judgment. If we had continued to stay there and they had not decisively opened fire, their losses would have been even greater."
Chen Chuan changed his mind and nodded.
Chen Bitong added, "Captain Chen, if the main general of an army is killed, they will inevitably become even more frantic and may launch an all-out attack. Be prepared to fight back."
Chen Chuan nodded. At this moment, he tried to feel that after practicing the method of Lingming Fanzhao for such a long time, the essence continued to penetrate into his body, and his spirit had indeed become stronger.
The previous several high-intensity fights had extremely stimulated his spirit, especially the successful killing of the opponent's main general just now, which greatly boosted his spirits.
He seemed to feel something at this moment, but it was still a little bit short.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Teacher Chen, what is the name of that method that can use the mind to pull power?"
Chen Bitong said slowly, "There's a saying in ancient texts: 'A little spiritual enlightenment knows my nature, and true awareness can save my life and redeem my destiny.' So you can call it 'spiritual awareness.'"
"Spiritual perception?"
Chen Chuan let out a long sigh.
At this time, they heard the sound of propeller blades. Looking up, they saw an airship appear in the distant sky.
Chen Bitong said solemnly, "Captain Chen, retreat inside."
Chen Chuan said hello and retreated without hesitation.
Less than five minutes after they retreated, huge explosions erupted from the cracks.
After that, more shells whizzed down here, but it was the artillery behind that extended here.
At this moment, at least twenty artillery pieces were simultaneously pouring shells onto the top of the mountain.
Chen Chuan and Chen Bi Tong had retreated to the edge of the crevice at the rear, and one more step might have taken them out.
But it is safe here, because the places hit by the artillery are only in the middle of the crack. As for the position near the exit at the other end of the crack, the shells cannot penetrate directly.
It seems that the death of a general did indeed trigger a violent reaction from the enemy, and this round of bombardment lasted for fifteen minutes.
After the artillery bombardment, the airship came closer, and the machine guns on it stared at the crack below, spewing flames.
At the same time, dense swarms of white plague also rushed to the top of the mountain under the cover of machine guns, and rushed into the cracks one after another.
