Supported for over ten minutes, under the bowman's support, the enemy was unable to set foot on the wall head, and after resting for over ten minutes, the warriors finally recovered their strength, once again rushing up the wall head, once again engaging in a frantic battle with the enemy.
I didn't rush up at the first time, my eyes envied that team of about 1000 blue-robed mages, I really envied them so much, I've already decided, after things are done later, the first thing I'll do is to go learn magic, it's really too cool!
In the following three years, there were one to two battles every day on average. Either we defended the city or went out to meet the enemy. Every day, I and the four of us - Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green - had to go through trials of life and death, and undergo training in blood and fire!
Three years is not a short period of time, after three years of training, my Nine Suns Divine Skill finally made another breakthrough. Even if I didn't use the Hundred Battles Sword, I had already entered the ranks of high-level warriors. However... once I drew the Hundred Battles Sword, I had already entered the ranks of swordsmen.
Now the true energy inside my body has become a hurricane that flows continuously, rushing through my meridians. The amount of true energy has increased by more than ten times compared to three years ago! The supported time has also increased from one hour to ten hours!
My current Nine Yang Divine Skill has reached a bottleneck state, and this situation has been maintained for a long time. Continuing to practice will only increase the already enormous true energy in my body by a little bit. I know... now I need an opportunity, I need enlightenment, otherwise... it's possible that I won't be able to break through to the next level in my lifetime.
Compared to the Nine Yang Divine Art, my Seven Cuts of Absolute Extinction have become second nature after three years of uninterrupted practice. Now, every move I make contains the essence of the Seven Cuts! As Red and others would say, every word and action of mine exerts an invisible pressure on people. However... I believe that only a high-level expert like myself can sense this.
Seventy-seven forty just formula seven cut off, after my continuous practice and exercise, plus my relentless thinking, now has been condensed into seven formulas!
These seven moves are not just simple seven moves, each move contains seven changes, and so far, no one has been able to withstand my one-hit strike for a long time!
Judging from the amount of true energy, as well as its power and level, I am only at the level of a high-ranking martial artist. With the Hundred Battles Sword, I would be considered nothing more than a swordsman.
But... after three years of training, I clearly realized that a problem, internal energy and true energy are not everything, techniques and experience are equally important.
For three years, the soldiers around us have been constantly changing, with new soldiers being replenished from the Empire of Sunset. In three years of war, I don't know how many people died specifically, but it must be a considerable number, because... if even my brain can't calculate it, how could it be small?
Up until now, even if the four of them, Red, Yellow, Blue and Green, who have reached the level of Swordsmen, were to launch a simultaneous attack on me, I can still defeat them relying on my Hundred Battles Blade Technique. It's not because of the amount or power of my true energy, but rather the sharpness of my Seven Cuts!
With my rational judgment, I am now close to or have reached the level of a Sword Saint in terms of attacking techniques. Although I am only a swordsman for now, I possess the strength to rival that of a great swordsman! A swordsman on the same level as me would never be able to defeat me.
In the past three years, in over 1,000 battles, the number of people I killed in each battle was mostly between 500-1000. At times when there were more, I could kill several thousand people in a single battle, which also led to their continuous reduction!
1,000 battles, with an average of 1,000 people per battle, in the past three years... over 10 million people have died at my hands. Such a terrifying number makes me view killing as ordinary as breathing. I don't think there's any fundamental difference between killing and breathing - both are equally effortless, equally without feeling.
Having absorbed the souls and resentment of over a hundred million people, I no longer dare to easily unsheathe my Hundred Battle Blade. Now it's not just me who has been impacted, even Hong and the others have felt the resentment emanating from within the Hundred Battle Blade!
Now... when my battle-worn sword is unsheathed, everyone within a hundred meters can feel the boundless resentment, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.
These resentful spirits are the enemies I killed, the resentment in their hearts when they were alive. For me, it will only stimulate my potential, but for the people around me, it will only make them terrified!
It's not just that, after the Hundred Wars Sword and I merged, the killing intent emitted made everyone dare not approach me within ten meters. In their words, that icy and bone-piercing killing intent would even freeze their blood solid!
In these years, my greatest gain is the experience of actual combat and the application of Qi Xia Zhan. Thousands of battles, thousands of times facing death, allow me to calmly and clearly face any attack, using the most reasonable swordsmanship to take down the enemy!
As for the progress of the Nine Yang True Qi, it exceeded my expectations. Originally... I expected that in a few years, or twenty to thirty years, I would be able to reach the peak, but I neglected the existence of bottlenecks. Any bottleneck could make me stop here and never make any further progress again.
As for the four brothers, Hong, Huang, Lan and Lu, their strength has also increased exponentially, from high-level warriors to swordsmen, especially in actual combat experience, which has been enriched to the extreme. Although they are slightly inferior to me, among people of the same generation, if we only talk about fighting experience, I'm afraid there are very few who can surpass them.
Generally speaking, if one's skills have reached the level of a swordsman, they would at least be a commander of ten thousand men. As an officer, directing battles is far more important than personally fighting, so actual combat experience can't compare to theirs.
Let's take Lanqi for example, when we arrived he was already a high-level warrior, but after three years, he is still hovering at the peak of being a high-level warrior, and his actual combat experience has not increased much, because... most of the time he is busy commanding battles and arranging tasks related to the Dead Squad.
Of course... our growth wasn't without a price, how many times have we wandered on the edge of life and death! The worst time was when the enemy sent out a swordsman and four high-level warriors to ambush us. That time... in order to cover for my companions, I took six knives to the body, and after being rescued by Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green, I didn't wake up until more than a week later. If it weren't for all the priests using their Blessing of Light on me, I would have become a pile of yellow earth long ago.
The fruit of our three-year struggle is the scars that cover our body, from head to toe, not a single inch of skin is smooth and fine, crisscrossing scars layer upon layer, covering our entire body. Anyone who sees the countless wounds on our body will be shocked and cover their mouth in astonishment!
But... our gains were even greater, under the enrichment of actual combat experience, we five people slowly summarized a set of fighting methods most suitable for ourselves, practiced a unique set of fighting skills, simple yet effective, with a very simple purpose... to kill!
Our attacks are not for show or competition, our sole purpose is to kill, with no unnecessary movements, everything is aimed at killing.
We haven't had no clashes between us, but those were limited to just a few times, and each time ended with us covered in bruises and lying limp on the ground. Half of our scars were left by our own people. As Lan Qi would say, our rivalry was simply a festival of deadly techniques!
Another gain is that under our constant efforts, the merits we have accumulated have earned our deceased brothers immediate release. To think... in three years, through one meritorious act after another, we reduced a total of 27 years of prison terms! This is almost unbelievable!
Perhaps some people don't understand the severity of this, to put it another way... If we were to convert these military achievements into official positions, we would have already been promoted to a general of the same rank as Zixiaohao! Think about it... how many generals can an empire have?
After three years of tempering on the battlefield, we have all matured and at the same time become tired of killing, tired of the taste of blood. Although we no longer feel anything about taking lives, we are very annoyed that every day we have to wait for the next kill, because... We all want to rest, really rest for a while. Three years of slaughter has made our souls extremely weary.
In the General's mansion, Zi Qian Hao sat with a face of appreciation, and on his two sides sat I, as well as Hong, Huang, Lan, and Lu, the four brothers. Today, we came to bid farewell. A month ago, we were already informed that we could leave at any time!
"Have you all made up your minds? Won't you stay for a little while longer? With your skills and experience, if you just mix in for another two or three years, the position of Imperial General will be yours!"
Without any discussion, the five of us shook our heads together. Fame and wealth were no longer within our consideration!
If you have any opinions or suggestions, please post them in the thread on my dedicated forum, thank you everyone! Also... I hope those who have votes will cast them here, I really need them now.
