When Zhang Yu fought with Ding Mao just now, he had already discovered that the swords in Ding Mao's hands seemed to lack the necessary nourishment, and their mana was insufficient. Previously, Ding Mao had only relied on the small swords themselves to fight with him.
Perhaps this was nothing to others, but in the eyes of him, who had mastered the Absolute Slash, this was a huge flaw.
The Absolute Slash relied on tyrannical strength and extreme speed, and when these two were combined, its power was even more unparalleled. Every collision was a test for the enemy's sword. If one did not have enough mana or heart light to support it, they would definitely not be able to withstand it.
And no matter what kind of divine ability a sword had, if the sword was not refined to the point of merging with Qi, then once it was damaged, the power of the divine ability would be greatly reduced.
Cultivators with profound cultivation might even be able to use mana and heart light to condense a sword blade and continue fighting. However, when the opponent was also a sword cultivator and still had a complete sword, then this was a futile action.
Ding Mao had already sensed that something was wrong when Zhang Yu slashed the small sword, but in an extremely close collision, Zhang Yu's sword was too fast. Even if he controlled the flying sword to retreat, it was too late.
And after the small sword was cut in half, he could not help but tremble.
After all, the sword and the master's mind were connected. Now that it was destroyed, his mind was naturally affected to a certain extent. However, he was a pawn between life and death, so his injuries were not too severe.
But in a battle, this was also an extremely obvious flaw. When he sensed that something was wrong, a sword light flashed in front of him. It was the Cicada Cry Sword in the sky that had shaken off the entanglement of many small swords and headed straight for him. It pierced through his body and shattered him into countless specks of light.
At this time, Zhang Yu did not delay for a moment. With a wave of his sleeve, the Shocking Heaven Sword flashed out a ray of divine light and slashed at another small sword in front of him!
When Ding Mao's figure condensed again, another small sword was destroyed, and his mind was injured again.
However, this time, with the experience from last time, he was prepared in advance and was not taken advantage of by the Cicada Cry Sword. The small sword that was flying outside was also pulled back. At the same time, it turned into a flowing light and flew away, avoiding the sword light that was slashing at him.
This was the first time he had taken the initiative to retreat. Originally, with the Separation and Disorder Technique, he was not afraid of the opponent's attack at all. Instead, he could drag the opponent into a state of confusion. But this time, in order to protect the sword, he had no choice but to do so.
At this moment, a sword light flashed from above. It was obvious that Zhang Yu was coming at him again. He had no choice but to raise his sword to block it. At this moment, he didn't dare to let one sword take on Zhang Yu's sword alone. Instead, he tried his best to let the other small swords share the burden.
But now that he was actively trying to protect the sword, it was equivalent to having an additional burden. This caused Douzhan's hands and feet to be tied, making it difficult for him to take care of everything.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, attacked boldly without worry. He slashed with his sword. Whether it was against Ding Mao himself or the sword, he could swing it as he wished.
When the Slash of Extinction was raised, if he did not block it, then it would be his shadow. If he blocked it, then it would be aimed at the sword. Under the rapid and powerful attack, in just a few breaths, another small sword shattered.
Ding Mao had originally relied on many swords to fight him. But as the number of swords decreased, it became more and more difficult to move the swords.
Soon, the fourth sword shattered on the ground, then the fifth, the sixth … the swords continued to shatter.
Now that the battle had reached this stage, the outcome was already clear. Ordinary people would have tried to flee a long time ago, but as a Dao Pawn, Ding Mao did not have such thoughts. For the sake of completing his previous orders, he would only fight to the death. He would not estimate the difference between them.
Another crisp shattering sound rang out. Following the shattering of the last small sword, all sixteen swords ceased to exist. The fragments of the swords were swept away by the blizzard.
There was no one around Ding Mao. He reached out and grabbed, using his mana to form another long sword.
Zhang Yu glanced at him. Due to the continuous destruction of his swords, his mind was continuously damaged. This opponent's mana was also starting to decrease greatly. Clearly, the continuous consumption was causing the effects of the medicine to wear off.
He walked forward. With a shake of his wrist, he casually shattered the blade formed by mana. Then, with another wave of his sword, he destroyed the Primordial Spirit Reflection in front of him.
Ding Mao's Primordial Spirit Reflection appeared again. But in the next moment, it was shattered by the Cicada Sword that came down from the sky. But then, he stubbornly appeared not far away. It seemed that he would not stop fighting until his mana was completely exhausted.
Zhang Yu shook his head. This time, he did not continue to attack. Instead, he looked over and said, "Zhen!"
Boom!
Ding Mao's figure suddenly shattered. But on the other side, a blurry figure appeared.
Zhang Yu moved his feet. Starlight flashed around him and he suddenly appeared in front of the figure. Then, he stabbed his sword into the figure's chest.
Ding Mao's body trembled. His originally plump cheeks quickly shriveled up. However, the light in his eyes brightened.
He looked at Zhang Yu. There was gratitude and admiration in his eyes. But there was also a kind of regret and relief. He slowly reached out and grabbed the blade in front of his chest. There seemed to be a flash of light in his hand.
After doing this, the light in his eyes slowly extinguished. His head also drooped down.
Zhang Yu took a step forward. He reached out and placed his hand on the person's shoulder. He did not allow him to fall. Then, he slowly withdrew his sword. Under the protection of the light in his heart, the raging snowstorm was blocked outside.
Then, he flew into the air and brought Ding Mao's corpse back to the encampment.
Just now, he had seen this person's Daoist robe. He could confirm that this person had once been a Tianxia cultivator. However, there was nothing on this person that could indicate his identity.
But a true cultivator who was skilled in swordsmanship like this should not be unheard of. He definitely had a high enough status.
He had already memorized the other person's face. When he returned, he could try to investigate.
He brought Ding Mao's corpse to the underground of the encampment. He temporarily placed it in the stone cabinet in the encampment that was used to store the dead soldiers.
He pushed the stone cabinet into the stone wall and slapped a small sword fragment into the empty jade wall. After looking at it for a while, he left and returned to the quiet room on the ground.
He sat down and picked up the Heaven Shocking Sword. He held it horizontally in front of him.
Just now, the other party seemed to have transmitted something to him. He focused his gaze and sent his thoughts into it. Instantly, he found countless images flashing before him. However, these images were extremely fragmented. It was as if they had been cut up and then pieced together. They were chaotic and without any clues.
This required him to sit down and slowly straighten out.
He thought for a while and transmitted his thoughts to Bai Guo. Then, he entered a meditative state.
After a while, he found himself standing on the plains again. However, there was no snowstorm around him. Ding Mao was standing not far ahead.
He looked at the small swords around Ding Mao and said, "Bai Guo, transform this person's sword into a blade that can completely carry mana."
Bai Guo said, "Yes, Sir."
When Zhang Yu looked again, the sixteen small swords were already shining with light. He raised his head and said, "This time, we will have a fair battle."
Solemnly, Ding Mao performed a sword salute to him.
Zhang Yu reached out and the Heaven Shocking Sword appeared in his hand. Then, he stepped forward. With a flash of sword light, he slashed forward. The other party's swords also flew and attacked. In an instant, the two of them clashed again!
On Kuzuo Earth, a ray of light suddenly shone from an ice pit in the northern polar region. Priest Zuo's figure appeared outside. He waved his horsetail whisk and looked around.
What surprised him was that when he entered the place where the letter was presented, it was daytime. But now, it was nighttime. However, he clearly felt that only half an hour had passed in there.
He calculated again and realized that it was not just the change of day and night. In fact, two days had passed since he arrived here. It was as if he had just gone to another world.
He looked down at the jade token in his hand and revealed a cautious expression. He carefully put it away in his sleeve and put it away.
According to Zhang Yu's instructions, after delivering the letter, he only needed to stay on Earth Star. He did not need to do anything else. He just needed to protect himself.
He thought for a while and felt that this should be the case. The situation now was complicated. He did not need to think about how to help. That would only cause more trouble.
After thinking for a while, he looked around. Then, he rose into the air and flew down the mountain.
In the training field of the Military Affairs Department, several armored soldiers were besieging a tall metal giant.
The armor of both sides was not much different, but there was a difference in the use of technique and spiritual power. In the end, the metal giant that was besieged had the upper hand. In a short while, it had knocked all the armored soldiers to the ground.
At this moment, a civil official hurried in and said to the metal giant, "Chief, an urgent document has arrived."
The metal giant turned its head and looked. Then, it waved its hand. All the armored soldiers stood up and saluted him with their fists. Then, they retreated.
The center of the metal giant's brows flashed. The armor on its body was withdrawn. Hong Yuanqiu walked out of the training field and said, "Where did the document come from?"
The civil official walked up and whispered a few words in his ear.
Hong Yuanqiu's expression turned serious. He quickened his pace and quickly returned to his office. After entering, he saw a Taoist standing there.
His expression turned serious. He raised his hand and saluted, saying, "Sorry for making you wait." He put down his hand and said, "Do you have any instructions for me?"
The Taoist's lips moved slightly. It seemed that he was transmitting a message.
Hong Yuanqiu listened attentively. However, his expression grew more and more serious. In the end, he nodded and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for informing me. The Military Affairs Department will take care of this matter."
The Daoist bowed, turned around, and walked out.
Hong Yuanqiu's expression was grave. He sat down on a chair and pondered for a long time. Then, he instructed the civil official, "Go and summon Shi Yanxin and Yao Zhenjun. Do it quickly, but try not to let anyone know.
Also, go and find out who is in charge of the arrangements for the Wei and Fu armies in Ye Ya Province. After you find out, don't alarm them. Send someone to keep an eye on them and see who is in contact with them. "
The civil official bowed and retreated silently.
