Compared to the Daya people who were chasing Qin Xinru yesterday, this group of Daya people was much more militarized. Wearing uniform chainmail, uniform broadswords, uniform turbans and military boots, they were in groups of five, small teams of ten, and square formations of thirty. Even in the woods with many obstacles, they were unable to attack. Disrupted the formation.
Judging from the number of people, this should be a school captain group of 350 people.
Qin Xinru looked at the Daya soldiers rushing out from the hiding place and frowned, saying: "The first batch of Daya people who came out from the bottom of the lake yesterday morning were all wearing thin clothes and barefoot, without weapons and equipment. They should be the pioneers exploring the road. Team. You see, the equipment of this team has basically reached the standard equipment of the army. Apparently they have established a base near the lake and are continuously transporting people and equipment."
"Don't worry too much." Su Mou comforted, "Duan Baifei and the others have sent the information to Baiyun City. Uncle Qin will respond as soon as possible after getting the information. Although the Black Forest is hidden, every entry and exit passage is a natural hazard. When the time comes, soldiers will besiege all the passages, and it will be useless even if the Daya people transport all the troops in the country."
"Hey, I hope it's as you said." Qin Xinru sighed.
At a distance of a hundred steps, the Big Tooth Army reached them in the blink of an eye.
"Stupid Big Ya man, I said I would make you pay with blood, but I didn't expect you to die in such a hurry." Su Mou sneered while holding his sword.
"Don't be so arrogant, kid! Just take a shot from grandpa!" A bearded man rushed ahead, shouting angrily and pounced on Su Mou. He was holding a long spear with a black handle and a silver tip. His wrist was shaking extremely, and the spear suddenly turned into a blur of spears. It was impossible to distinguish the real ones from the fake ones, and they all stabbed Su Mou.
"Hmph! How dare the light of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon! Die!" Su Mou slashed out with his sword, so fast that he could only see a gleam of cold light.
Blood spattered three feet, and the bearded man flew backwards with blood spraying from his chest, leaving only half of the barrel of the spear in his hand.
"I refuse to accept the use of sharp weapons!" The bearded man lay on the ground and roared with his last strength. Then the backflow of blood blocked his throat and flowed out of his mouth. He exhaled his last breath with his eyes open and refused to close his eyes.
"Ignorance!" Su Mou glanced across the bearded corpse, then looked at the sword in his hand. He took out a handkerchief with his left hand and wiped the blood off the blade. Suddenly his eyes fell on the blade. At the extremely small gap, he frowned and shook his head, muttering to himself: "It's still a little bit short."
What Su Mou held in his hand was not a sword that could be sharpened like clay, but an ordinary long sword that cost one tael of silver a piece in the blacksmith shop. This is exactly what he is practicing now, using his mind to control the sword, and he has practiced it to the extreme. Even if he holds a wooden sword in his hand, he can cut iron like clay.
"Lord Centurion!" The big-toothed man screamed and rushed forward to drag the bearded body back.
This bearded man turned out to be a centurion, and he must have some abilities, but it was a pity that he chose the wrong opponent, so that he died without dignity. Fortunately, he didn't know that what Su Mou was holding was just an ordinary long sword, otherwise his death would have been even more painful.
"kill!"
"Avenge the Centurion!"
Big Beard's death angered the Big Ya people. They roared and swarmed forward, trying to hack Su Mou to death.
Su Mou stepped on the seven-star step, and the sword came out like lightning. Within ten steps, the sword light enveloped him. This was the domain of his sword, and he could cut everything within the domain.
Anyone who rushed into Su Mou's sword realm would die with blood spattered to their death. In just a few breaths, more than twenty Daya people died under Su Mou's sword, looking more like a life harvester.
Su Mou's terrifying combat power made the Da Ya people behind him frightened, and they couldn't help but stop their attack. They surrounded but refused to attack and did not dare to get close.
"Those who retreat will be killed!"
"Those who are timid will be killed!"
"kill!"
"Big tooth soldiers are fearless!"
The commander of the Big Tooth people yelled. The badge on his shoulder was engraved with a pattern of three wolf teeth, which was the badge of the Big Tooth captain.
"Coward, do you dare to come forward and fight?" Su Mou pointed his sword at Captain Daya and asked provocatively.
But Lieutenant Daya ignored him. He was a soldier, not a knight, and his duty was to command the battlefield with an overview of the overall situation, not to compete with others.
…
Zhang Xiaozu held an arrow in his hand, and Qi Ronger had left the three-foot dagger and broken knife in the cave, so he had no other weapons to use at the moment. He looked at the big-toothed people who were charging towards him. Perhaps because he had already died once, he was not very scared. He was just a little emotional. A few days ago, he was still feeling incredible that one person was fighting dozens of people. In his mind He couldn't imagine what kind of battle scene it would be like, but just a few days later, he was facing the charge of an army. What is unbelievable is that he has no fear in his heart and even has the confidence to find a way out.
Zhang Xiaozhu felt that everything seemed unreal, like he was having a weird dream.
Zhang Xiaopou was not afraid, but Qi Ronger beside him was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Facing the charge of the military formation, the majestic momentum and murderous aura that hit her head on made her breathless. The strong Xiao Shazhi Anger spread in her heart, making her tremble uncontrollably. Thinking of the battles she had experienced in the past and comparing them with the upcoming battle, she suddenly wanted to laugh. She felt that it was just children playing house in the past, very stingy.
"kill!"
The big-tooth man rushed forward, with a ferocious face, raised the broad knife in his hand, and rushed towards Zhang Xiaopou and Qi Ronger.
"Snake dance!" Qi Ronger swung her phoenix whip, and the fiery red whip coiled up in the air. The whip with the dart tip hidden like a snake's head was raised high, and then it shot towards the big-toothed man.
Dangdangdang——
Unfortunately, her attacks did not result in a kill. They were all blocked by the big-toothed man with a broadsword. They were all experienced killers. They coordinated their offense and defense and easily neutralized Qi Ronger's moves. Of course, it was also because the arrow rain just now consumed a lot of Qi Ronger's energy. In addition, both her arms were injured, especially her right shoulder, which was pierced by the arrow. The power of the phoenix dance whip was greatly reduced at this moment.
Zhang Xiaopou moved, but it was like walking in the courtyard, holding an arrow and walking forward slowly.
"Die!" A man with big teeth rushed out from the side and slashed down with a broad knife. The corner of his mouth slowly curved into a cruel arc, which was a mockery of a dying man.
"Danger!" Qi Ronger was frightened and wanted to whip her to save her, but was tightly entangled by several big-toothed men.
puff!
The knife hit the ground, but it did not hit Zhang Xiaopeng. Instead, Zhang Xiaopeng pierced the big-toothed man's throat with the arrow in his hand, and the tip of the arrow penetrated from the back of his neck.
Zhang Xiaopou pulled out the arrow with his hand, and the big-toothed man fell to the ground clutching his throat. The blood hole on the back of his neck kept bleeding out.
Zhang Xiaosu withdrew the arrow and then thrust it out again, piercing the ribs of a big-toothed man and piercing his heart.
puff! puff! puff!
Like a scarecrow, one after another the big-toothed men died under Zhang Xiaopou's arrows, all with one fatal blow, clean and tidy.
Qi Ronger was dumbfounded and even stopped swinging the Phoenix Whip, because Zhang Xiaopeng was standing in front of her. As soon as a big-tooth man rushed up, he was stabbed to death by his arrow, so she didn't need to do anything.
"This - this - this is the subtle realm!" Qi Ronger observed for a while, then suddenly her eyes widened, her mouth opened wide enough to stuff her fist, and she asked herself in disbelief: "He didn't even open the battle gate. , how can you comprehend the subtle realm? Doesn’t it mean that only when you reach the sea realm can you comprehend the state of mind? Who can tell me, am I hallucinating? "
Entering the subtle realm is not a level of cultivation, but a state of mind, just like the sword realm used by Su Mou, which is also a state of mind.
Martial arts has evolved and been passed down for millions of years in the long history. There are countless inheritances from various sects, martial arts manuals, family secrets, etc. There are only a few types of moods. Firstly, the moods are really difficult to understand; secondly, The state of mind cannot be passed down.
The level of cultivation can be improved through personal efforts, panacea, treasures from heaven and earth, or skills taught by experts, but one can only rely on one's own perception of one's state of mind. This is a wonderful state that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. Once you understand it, you will find that it is so simple. If you cannot understand it, it will feel as difficult as being separated by a hundred thousand mountains.
The state of mind is extremely difficult, it is difficult to reach the sky.
Qi Ronger had no hallucinations, because what Zhang Xiaozu was performing at this moment was indeed the Subtle Realm, but Zhang Xiaozu himself didn't know it. He lacked knowledge and didn't even know the most basic level of cultivation. How could he know the state of mind of a higher existence? .
Zhang Xiaozu only felt that he had a wonderful sense of perception, which could accurately judge the speed, strength and next action trajectory of various moving objects. Just like when he was resisting the rain of arrows, he could accurately judge every arrow that was shot. He could really see how fast they were, how powerful they were, which direction they would shoot, etc., so he used the smallest effort, the shortest distance, and the fastest speed to shoot these arrows. The arrows were opened one by one.
At this moment, he was fighting with the Big Tooth Man. He could see all objects in all directions, and he could easily dodge even the attacks coming from the most tricky angles. He can even judge the big-toothed man's next movements through the swing range of various parts of the big-toothed man's body and the tiny jitters of his muscles, so as to avoid the big-toothed man's attack in advance.
This is an extremely wonderful feeling that Zhang Xiaozu can't describe in words. If he had to describe it, he felt like time had been slowed down dozens of times. For example, a knife coming towards him was coming in the blink of an eye, but he had a A cup of tea, or even a meal, to make moves to dodge the knife.
"Brother Su, look, is he in the subtle realm?!" Qin Xinru's eyes widened, looking at Zhang Xiaopou as if he had seen a ghost.
Su Mou had been paying attention to the battle on Zhang Xiaozu's side. When he heard Qin Xinru's question, he immediately replied: "It's the Subtle Realm. I haven't fully understood its mystery yet. This boy is not simple! Are you sure he is a natural born in the war sect?" Occlusion?"
"Sure. I checked it myself, and Duan Baifei also checked it." Qin Xinru responded.
Su Mou nodded and said: "It is true that he has no spiritual power fluctuations in his body. He is fighting with the most basic brute force. Xinru, it seems that you need to change your attitude towards him. Such a person is rare but not sought after."
"But -" Qin Xinru tightened her fists again and again, and was silent for a long time. Finally, she loosened her fists and said with a wry smile: "That's it. I'll apologize to him in person later. The war is coming, and it's a critical moment for hiring people. , the City Lord’s Mansion needs such talents.”
"Yeah. I'll go and apologize to him face to face later." The happiest person was Qin Rulan, but thinking of what her sister and Su Mou had done, her happy expression immediately dimmed, and she said, "I'm afraid he won't Forgive us."
"What a big joke." Qin Xinru sneered and said, "What statuses do you and I have? We are humble enough to apologize to a commoner. What an honor it is. Can he not accept it? I'm afraid he is a fool."
