Chapter 148: Set the Overall Situation, Obtain the Heavenly Book_2
Just like the difference between Blood Refining and Refining Internal, the gap cannot be said to be small.
These were indeed three distinct realms!
Moreover...
He Xianliang was a true Sect genius with a solid foundation, not some ordinary bandit with a superficial cultivation.
Every time Chen Sansi crossed blows, he had to endure severe pain. Fortunately, with the Storage Power and Mystical Yuan in his organs, he was able to hold on. However, as time passed, the Mystical Energy boost on the bodies of the Red Eyebrow Army became increasingly apparent!
The Formation used by the enemy troops subtly matched the thunderstorm, possessing an indescribable magic. Even though the Formation of the Reserve Camp was also practiced day and night, it gradually fell into disadvantage, then continued to widen the gap, and the number of casualties began to increase.
The direct subordinates Chen Sansi brought from Po Yang County, relying on their understanding, were doing fine, but the others under them were not so lucky...
If this continued.
Their Array Soldiers would soon all be sacrificed, and the situation would then transform into the enemy's Formation encircling and attacking our military officers one by one, with the addition of Mystical Energy, how long Lu Shuhua and the others could hold on was hard to say.
The increase in casualties could not continue, enough people had died in this battle!
"Clang!"
Chen Sansi's long spear was once again knocked aside by a forceful blow. He did not counterattack, but instead took the opportunity to gallop away dragging his spear, and after continuously stabbing several intercepting Red Eyebrow Rebel Army soldiers, he dashed into the curtain of rain.
"Don't run!"
He Xianliang chased after him without any hesitation.
When the distance between the two sides had closed to a certain extent.
The Five Tigers Soul-breaking Spear suddenly counterattacked.
Backward Charge!
"A mere trick!"
He Xianliang, already prepared, almost instantly blocked the long spear with his own spear, then flicked the long spear into the air, adjusting his position at a bizarre angle, and thrust directly towards the enemy General's heart.
"Crack—"
At that moment, a terrifying thunder resembling a spider web streaked across the dome above.
Using the light from the electricity, He Xianliang saw that the enemy General, having lost his weapon and caught in an inevitable deadly situation, was not panicked at all; instead, he looked at him calmly as though he had been prepared for the Backward Charge and had anticipated it being blocked.
Then why did he still use this move?
In his rapidly dilating pupils, the following scene reflected.
This young General, who had played rounds with a 300,000-strong army in Ming State using just 3,000 soldiers, at this critical moment of life and death, didn't think about how to dodge to save himself but was forming hand seals, looking like some mindless Taoist.
Immediately afterwards.
He Xianliang witnessed a phantom image gathering on the opponent's fingertips, which looked... like a small sword, only it was very tiny, almost like a sewing needle.

What was this?!
"Rumble—"
After the flash of lightning, a thunderous sound erupted, and the phantom in the young General's hand vanished.
He Xianliang only felt a chill in his forehead, and then he could no longer see this world clearly; he fell straight from his horse into the mud, a trickle of blood emerging from his forehead and quickly being washed clean by the rain, blending into the mud.
All of this happened in an instant.
Chen Sansi reached out and caught the Five Tigers Soul-breaking Spear previously flicked into the air, stabbed it down into the corpse's skull, creating a huge bloody hole to cover up the wound from the Sword Qi Skill.
The reason he had lured his opponent here was not to use the Backward Charge for a sneak attack. When the gap in realms was too large, small tricks were useless; it was solely to keep away from the main battlefield, to prevent others from discovering his use of Spell.
"He Xianliang is dead!"
"You rebels, quickly surrender—"
Under the enhancement of Qi-Blood, Chen Sansi's roar at times overwhelmed the thunder, deafening.
He could see.
After He Xianliang's death.
The mist hovering over the Red Eyebrow Army dispersed at a rapid pace, vanishing in a few breaths' time.
The enemy soldiers, looking at the skull under the intermittently illuminated head with its terrifying visage, lost all their will to fight, one after another they turned and ran, and the previously exquisite Formation naturally completely collapsed.
The tide of the battle shifted in an instant, turning into a one-sided massacre.
...
In Meishan Prefecture City.
"Commander, Commander—"
A member of the Red Eyebrow Army stumbled in, covered in blood and knelt on the ground, sobbing: "It's over, it's all over! General He was decapitated by that Chen Sansi, our brothers are mostly dead, the remaining people from the Reserve Camp are heading straight for the city, they will arrive in no more than half a day!"
"So soon?!"
Liang Jinian seemed as if he had been drained of strength, collapsing into a chair: "Chen Sansi is only at Hua Jin, how could he kill He Xianliang in such a short time, let alone, I... I even bestowed them with Spell!"
It was a matter of life and death, he held nothing back.
In this last battle, almost all the remaining Immortal Items were used up!
"We... we don't know either, Commander!"
Several Red Eyebrow Army soldiers who had fled earlier returned and knelt in a row: "That Chen Sansi isn't human at all, once he starts fighting he disregards everything and charges straight at General He, like a madman!"
"Commander!"
"What do we do, Commander!"
"..."
"Enough noise!"
Liang Jinian was overwhelmed: "How long until reinforcements get here at the fastest?"
"Commander, it will take at least fifteen days at the earliest!"
"..."
"You, first pack up the belongings, take the lady and some gold and Silver Coin, and then wait here for me!"
Liang Jinian unsteadily left the mansion, mounted a fast horse, and went straight to a nearby grove, kneeling down and imploring to the sky: "Immortal, save me!"
