Chapter 657: Chapter 525 General of a hundred-man + Chapter 526 One Slash_3

At the same time, that elusive snake spear appeared before his eyes, already stabbing towards his chest.

"Finished."

Hovering in midair.

Dodging was difficult...

The events of Chu Wenli’s life flashed through his mind like fleeting light.

From his carefree teenage years to his youth facing racial extinction, growing through blood and fire, and finally becoming the Town Defense Commander of Southeast Province, safeguarding peace...

It is said that before a person dies, their brain will automatically replay everything from the past.

All emotions of regret, happiness, and anger pass through the heart one by one.

Chu Wenli was initially skeptical, but now he believed it.

The spear tip was about to pierce through his heart.

His movements were as slow as a snail, the speed of his wooden stick blocking and swinging was several times slower than the snake spear’s stabbing.

Desperation secretly appeared in his eyes.

Ding...

A light chime sounded.

A faint blue glow suddenly lit up in front of Chu Wenli’s eyes.

Three inches in front of his body, layers of blue waves rippled.

With a thump sound, his figure, struck by a giant wave, rapidly retreated.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the Black-armored Cavalry General, the snake spear raised high, and his warhorse screaming and spinning backward, also retreating through the air.

Where he had faced danger, there was now a figure in uniform with a pale green long sword, emitting a cold light.

It was Zhou Ping’an.

He was obviously still far away.

How did he get here so fast, and moreover, with one strike on the spear tip, he actually sent the Black-armored Cavalry General flying?

A look of surprise flashed in Chu Wenli’s eyes.

His heart was full of shock, followed by a sensation of electricity coursing through his body, and immense joy welled up inside him.

He was saved.

"Announce your name, under Mr. Yu’s spear, I do not cut down the nameless."

The Black-armored Cavalry General roared angrily, the man and horse thrown backward floating lightly toward the oblique side, turned a corner, and charged back again.

The long spear swung out a black light ring, rolling up layers of dark energy, and swept diagonally.

This spear, although it lost the element of surprise compared to its sudden appearance earlier, with the descending spear tip,

ghostly wails and wolf howls echoed between heaven and earth.

The sky before him went pitch-black, as if mountains were collapsing, the tremendous force rushing into his soul first.

"A dead man talking as if he’s still alive."

Zhou Ping’an chuckled lightly.

Faster than his voice was the sword light.

With just one word, the black void in front was torn apart.

A line of light blue sword light, silent and traceless, cut through the void, severed the long spear, and split the man and horse.

Whoosh...

Like waves hitting the shore.

The surging dark energy ahead unleashed a sharp sound like ripping silk.

A cry of indignation echoed through everyone’s minds.

The black-armored man and horse split in two, fell to the ground, turned into strands of black mist, and dissipated into the air.

On the spot, a crystal-clear, dark, shiny light pearl appeared with a pop.

"Starlight..."

Zhou Ping’an sensed the tremendous starlight energy inside the bead through his Mental Induction, and was sure in his heart.

The last trip to the cave, obtaining the Star Force Bead was clearly not an isolated case.

It was true that every soldier had one.

Kill them, and you could seize it.

Though the starlight in the bead before his eyes was black, which seemed a bit different from the sparkling appearance.

But who said starlight couldn’t be black?

Perhaps because the power was especially concentrated, it gathered all the colors together.

Joy filled Zhou Ping’an’s heart as he reached out, sucked the colorful black light pearl into his hand, and stored it in his space.

"This..."

Chu Wenli heavily fell to the ground, steadying himself after several staggering steps.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

"Just like that, cut down with one slash?"

"Actually, this knight had no spirituality, just a congregation of Yin Energy, not very strong? Once the method is found, killing him is quite easy."

Zhou Ping’an spoke indifferently.

He had received the Starlight Beads and it seemed as though he saw a "Gold Mountain" inside the cave.

At this moment, he found it quite acceptable to explain a thing or two to Chu Wenli.

One of the Four Divine Kunpeng Skills, "Sky-splitting Slash," is said to cut through the void, severing both tangible and intangible, nothing can resist its cut.

As long as the opponent’s will is not strong enough to stop the blade, no matter how powerful they appear, they would die with one slash.

"How to kill?"

Chu Wenli’s heart raced.

Is there really a way? Killing Black-armored Knights this easily makes those people’s deaths seem so wrongful...

"It’s merely about finding the core of the opponent’s spiritual will and cutting it open with one slash to kill them. General Chu, you’ve noticed too, right? The real form of the thing is not the Black-armored Knights, but rather an aggregation of energy, a crystallized body. Attacking its physical manifestation is pointless—it has no flesh and blood, it’s all energy."

’Fine, forget I asked.’

Chu Wenli felt as if he was listening to some heavenly script.

Let alone finding the spiritual core of the Black-armored Knight, under the pressure of the opponent’s imposing aura, his own spiritual power was suppressed in his mind, wavering like a flickering candle.

In such a situation, don’t even mention retaliating.

How the opponent attacks, he couldn’t even see clearly, and with just one technique, he’d already be in a checkmate.

The ease Zhou Ping’an spoke of was merely his own feeling of ease.

It’s like a robust man, accustomed to farm work, telling a three-year-old toddler that carrying shoulder poles is actually very simple; you just need to squat down, place the pole on your shoulder, and lift.

Am I not able to carry it?

Chu Wenli couldn’t help the itch in his throat, coughing madly a few times, restraining the urge to roll his eyes, and felt stirred inside.

Just how powerful had he become?

Not even generals of town defense, like himself, could withstand even a single move from such fearsome monsters.

In his hands, they too would die in one strike.

The disparity, even without thinking about it, was clear as day—it was as vast as mountains and seas.

Those people, in their greed, actually offended such a master.

One could say, their deaths were not wrongful.

Listening to the dying breaths of Peng Shaoguang, Fu Wenjuan, and others who were cut in two far away, Chu Wenli seemed to see the deep regrets and despair in their eyes.

He couldn’t help but inwardly sigh.

The world had changed, following the three wars, the changes in the energy of heaven and earth had also subtly shifted some old rules and standards.

First and foremost, one must learn veneration.

Otherwise, one day you won’t even know how you died.

From hundreds of meters away, Shen Yanguang of the Dongjiang Special Affairs Office stood dumbfounded, his mouth agape for a long time.

Looking at the bloody scene ahead, he suddenly turned towards his daughter Shen Yao, his eyes filled with shock and relief.

’That was close.’

’The Jianghu is perilous, truly, not admitting age is not an option.’

Zhou Ping’an turned out to be incredibly formidable.

No wonder his daughter went to great lengths to pull him out of that dangerous whirlpool.

This ability to make choices and align with the right side, the daughter obviously has much more than him.

A slight sense of loss rose in Shen Yanguang’s heart, thinking about how the younger generation was formidable and not to be provoked.

Nevertheless, although this reconnaissance mission ended in such an absurd manner, after all, the deaths of these important figures from Tianjing were a huge, troublesome matter.

What would follow next?

Just as this thought appeared in his mind, Shen Yanguang shook his head and chuckled.

This truly was a case of more concern from the eunuch than from the Emperor.

Looking at Zhou Ping’an, looking at Tang Tang.

They didn’t seem worried at all.

Zhou Ping’an was not unworried; rather, he knew that worrying was pointless.

It was all about resisting whatever comes, using whatever is available; some people might not recognize reality, but as long as he maintained overwhelming strength, he could always make those used to commanding others from on high see everything clearly.

"Within the Zhaoyue Mu Accupoint is such dangerous creature; it cannot be ignored. For the life and safety of the Dongjiang populace, I’ve decided to go in and clean it up."

Zhou Ping’an suddenly said.

"General Chu, would you like to join?"

"Uh, I better not go. If I encounter creatures of that caliber again, I’ll not only be unable to help you, but I might also hold you back, so why bother."

Chu Wenli coughed lightly, hastily responding.

"It’s just a pity about the people from the Arc of Light Research Room, we didn’t manage to save them, they died on the spot. Due to humanitarianism, I’ll still lend a hand to help with the aftermath."

"That’s as it should be."

Zhou Ping’an also sighed.

"Such a pity."
