Chapter 535

[PS: Add another update. 】

The red sun hangs high, and Guiping Pass is still killing and cutting.

In the central section of the city wall, with Ouyang Shuo as the core, a strange scene unexpectedly appeared.

On this noisy and chaotic battlefield, Ouyang Shuo unexpectedly entered a rare "selfless" state.

The so-called ecstasy does not mean that we really forget our own existence.

True ecstasy refers to completely letting go of all distracting thoughts in the heart and pointing directly to the original heart.

Ouyang Shuo's heart at this time is to kill the sword.

Therefore, in his heart, apart from killing the sword, everything else does not exist at this moment.

It is this kind of purity and consistency that allows his mind, consciousness, and body to be highly unified and coordinated, and he can devote himself wholeheartedly to the speculation of killing the sword.

A moment of comprehension in the state of "selflessness" is worth an ordinary day, or even a few days.

More importantly, some content that is usually difficult to comprehend can be suddenly enlightened under the state of "selflessness", and the natural moat becomes a path.

And this is called enlightenment.

Therefore, what anyone who realizes the Tao most desires is to be able to enter the state of "self-forgetfulness".

In this state, although Ouyang Shuo didn't pay attention to the outside world, he instinctively swung the Chixiao Sword in his hand, using the killing sword technique.

The killing sword intent inspired by this can automatically capture the killing intent of any enemy. Whenever someone showed his intention to kill Ouyang Shuo, he would automatically be targeted by the killing sword's sword intent.

Therefore, no matter whether they are unknown soldiers or generals, all enemies who stand in front of Ouyang Shuo and appear within his field of vision will automatically be enveloped by Ouyang Shuo's killing intent.

Under the killing sword, there is no one left alive.

Ouyang Shuo, holding the Scarlet Night Sword, is not like an emperor, but like a god of killing. He moves around on the city wall, erratic, and every time he makes a move, he can take away one, or even several enemy soldiers. life.

Under the shadow of the sword intent, Ouyang Shuo's perception of the enemy's every move was invisible.

With the passage of time, Ouyang Shuo became more and more proficient in using the sword-killing swordsmanship. Along with the continuous killing, traces of blood energy began to gather on the Chixiao Sword.

Chixiao sword, the sword of the emperor's way.

The divine sword itself does not swallow the enemy's blood like the Heavenly Demon Spear.

Therefore, traces of blood energy can only be condensed on the sword god, and the more it gathers, the more intense it becomes. This scene is somewhat similar to the scene that the unknown general practiced when Ouyang Shuo first learned the sword code.

From this, it also shows that Ouyang Shuo has really touched the essence of Killing Sword.

Such frightening power, the domineering demeanor that surpasses the entire army, can only be possessed by a peerless fierce general. Unexpectedly, at this time, it appeared on the body of a distinguished prince.

On the battlefield, whether it is the Shenwuwei who are still fighting, or the mountain barbarian warriors who have retreated to rest, they all let out passionate shouts.

If you can serve such a master of the world, why should you worry about life, and why should you die?

The morale of the whole army skyrocketed.

"kill him!"

The commander of the sword and shield soldiers of the coalition army is a burly man with a beard, big copper bell eyes, and a face full of flesh, which is very frightening. Because of his lush beard, he is known as General Beard.

Seeing this, General Hu Zi led his troops to surround and kill Ouyang Shuo on the spot. In an instant, including General Hu Zi, hundreds of soldiers attacked Ouyang Shuo together.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Shenwuwei was shocked, and wanted to come for reinforcements, but was entangled tightly by the coalition forces.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

The mountain barbarian warrior wanted to pick up a weapon, but found that he didn't even have the strength to stand up. The sequelae of madness are entering the most critical moment, and the whole body is weak and weak.

It seemed that Ouyang Shuo was about to die in the chaos.

The bearded general showed a ferocious smile, and when he heard the names of Shenwuwei around him, he felt even more proud, knowing that he had accidentally caught a super big fish.

As long as this personality is killed, the battle will be won.

The bearded general was already imagining the scene of receiving a reward in front of the lord.

In addition, the sword in the opponent's hand also made General Beard covet it.

This kind of divine sword is extraordinary at first glance.

Wouldn't it be better if he could grab it and offer it to the lord?

Thinking of this, the bearded general's expression became more ferocious, and the big knife in his hand was ready to go.

At this time, Ouyang Shuo was still immersed in the epiphany of killing the sword, he seemed to know nothing about everything around him, and just instinctively waved the Chixiao Sword in his hand.

"kill!"

In an instant, hundreds of sabers were covering Ouyang Shuo from all directions.

"Your Majesty!"

No matter whether it is Shenwuwei or Shanman warrior, their eyes are red.

At this moment, the corner of Ouyang Shuo's mouth suddenly smiled, like joy, epiphany, and joy, and three words slowly came out of his mouth: "Kill the common people!"

Ouyang Shuo turned 360 degrees on the spot, and swept the Chixiao Sword in his hand.

Immediately, I saw the bloody aura covering the Chixiao sword burst out of the sword, turning into sharp red blades and shooting towards the surrounding soldiers.

In an instant, dozens of soldiers fell down, and even the bearded general was seriously injured.

The encirclement was resolved in an instant.

"it is good!"

The heart-wrenching Shenwuwei let out a loud applause.

With such awe-inspiring power, let me ask you, who in the world can rival it except for the princes and lords?

At this moment, the soldiers' admiration for the prince has reached the point where it cannot be increased.

The mountain barbarians on one side even shed tears of excitement.

A generation of [Barbarian Kings] is here to stay.

The newborn [Barbarian King] is equally brave and extraordinary, but also possesses wisdom and benevolence.

For the mountain barbarian clan, if they could obtain such a co-lord who possesses virtue, wisdom, and courage, what more could they ask for?

The soldiers wept with joy.

And what about Ouyang Shuo? His killing is far from stopping.

The Chixiao Sword in his hand became more and more translucent, taking people's souls and lives.

"Four Killers!"

Ouyang Shuo's eyes were fixed, the Chixiao Sword in his hand was like an antelope's horns, without a trace, it suddenly appeared in front of General Beard, with a push of the sword, he wiped it.

A generation of fierce generals just fell away.

"General!"

The soldiers of the coalition forces around them exclaimed unconsciously. The main general was killed, and the morale of the coalition forces suddenly dropped.

On the contrary, Shenwuwei's morale is like a rainbow.

Just like that, relying on Ouyang Shuo's bravery, the army miraculously survived again.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from below the tower.

The three thousand soldiers of the Taiping Army led by Pei Ju finally arrived. If you observe carefully, you will find that there are less than 3,000 soldiers of the Taiping Army appearing on the tower.

Even Pei Ju's body was splashed with blood.

Obviously, the persuasion to capitulate this time did not go smoothly, and there must have been waves during the period.

Fortunately, the final result is still acceptable.

With the addition of this new force, the Guiping Pass defense line gradually stabilized.

This group of Taiping soldiers were originally the defenders of Guiping Pass, and they were very familiar with the city defense facilities inside the pass. As soon as they entered the field, they could enter their roles smoothly without any adaptation.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo felt relieved.

The most difficult hurdle was finally passed.

With the Shenwuwei as the center and the Taiping Army as the auxiliary, the entire line of defense is as stable as Mount Tai.

This battle can be described as full of twists and turns.

The whole battle was fought from early morning to evening.

Both sides tried their best, leaving no leeway, and played all their cards.

And when the two thousand mountain men recovered and reappeared on the top of the city, the overall situation was settled.

The coalition forces completely lost their last chance to capture Guiping Pass.

...

Against the backdrop of the sunset, Li Mu's expression was unusually ugly, so gloomy that he was about to drip water. Originally a battle with full confidence, in the end it ended in a loss of soldiers and generals, and the end of returning without success.

For Li Mu, the attack on Guilin County was the most important military operation since he appeared in the wilderness. Before attacking Guiping Pass, everything was so perfect.

However, right at the pass in front of him, Li Mu and the army he commanded fell to pieces.

"withdraw!"

Li Mu is worthy of being a peerless famous general. Although he has endless regrets in his heart, he has never lost his mind. He knew very well that it would be delusional to try to win Guiping Pass with the remnants of the army in his hand.

That being the case, why don't you withdraw your troops as soon as possible, rush back to Guilin County, and make a long-term plan.

Li Mu believed that with the ability of a military division, there must be a way to crack it.

Under the setting sun, the army of less than 40,000 retreated from the front line, and after a little repair, it gradually disappeared into the mountains along the rugged mountain road.

This thrilling level battle came to an abrupt end, drawing an imperfect end.

***********

Guiping Pass, the head of the city.

Watching the coalition forces receding away, Ouyang Shuo thought deeply.

"Who is the general on the other side?"

"Returning to the Lord, according to the letter from the Military Intelligence Department, this person is Li Mu, a famous general of the Warring States Period. He is not only the chief general who attacked Guiping Pass, but also the chief general of the 200,000 coalition army."

It was Pei Ju who answered Ouyang Shuo.

"Li Mu? I see."

Ouyang Shuo raised his head, looked at the sunset glow in the distance, and suddenly fell silent. Against the background of the setting sun, the already tall and straight body looked even taller and more majestic.

Pei Ju looked at Junhou's back, feeling a little guilty. Just now, he had already learned about the danger of this battle from the mouth of the sergeant, and knew that if the monarch and marquis hadn't displayed his supernatural power, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Because the reinforcements of the Taiping Army were late, the king and marquis were almost killed.

No matter which territory it is in, this is considered a capital offense.

However, when Junhou saw Pei Ju, he just said lightly: "You are here!"

Then, it was thrown into the battlefield to fight.

Not a word of blame, not a word of questioning.

It was this that made Pei Ju feel even more uncomfortable. Junhou trusted him, but he almost messed up the matter, he was really ashamed.

Recalling the scene in the prison, Pei Ju still has lingering fears.

***********

Time back to an hour and a half ago.

Pei Ju led a hundred Shenwu guards to the temporary prison on the first floor of the pass. It is said to be a prison, but it is actually a small closed barracks.

It was here that the three thousand soldiers of the Taiping Army were taken into custody.
