#574 - One sword stops the war
“Fuck!”
As Qin Zhengqiu's Rising Moon Sword fell, shattering the dragon's head with a deafening crash, Wei Changtian subconsciously blurted out a choice curse word.
However, he quickly reacted, glanced at Ning Yongnian, who was not far ahead, and then retreated without the slightest hesitation.
His figure flashed rapidly, and three hundred long sabers fell to the ground one after another.
Wei Changtian didn't even bother to collect the sabers, but fled towards the Tengu army as quickly as possible, his eyes filled with shock and a hint of unwillingness.
He had decided to take a gamble after shouting the phrase "I only have one condition."
Although he wasn't 100% sure, he estimated that this was his best chance to "solo kill" Ning Yongnian.
And after today, once Ning Yongnian was on guard, he might not even be able to "see" the latter.
Two God Strike Talismans, coupled with an unexpected sneak attack... Wei Changtian originally thought that his attempt was very likely to succeed, and at least he could cripple Ning Yongnian.
However, Qin Zhengqiu's appearance made him choose to give up immediately.
As for why Qin Zhengqiu appeared here...
Anyone with a brain would know that it was Xu Sui's doing!
What exactly does Xu Sui want to do?!
Why did she save Li Qi first, and then turn around to stop him from killing Ning Yongnian??
Which side is she on?!
Wei Changtian clenched his teeth tightly, various guesses swirling in his mind, but his speed did not decrease at all.
And at the moment he "changed from attack to escape," Ning Yongnian finally came back to his senses, and an angry roar immediately resounded in everyone's ears.
"Kill him!!!"
"..."
"Swish! Swish swish swish!!"
Dense arrows, like locusts crossing the border, covered the sky and the earth, and tens of thousands of soldiers followed closely behind, rushing out of the city gate.
At the same time, the Tengu army also moved.
The vast number of demon beasts suddenly left their positions, half flying into the air and half charging forward on the ground, all kinds of eerie roars instantly filling the space between heaven and earth, surging like a tsunami.
On one side were tens of thousands of elite Da Ning soldiers, and on the other side was a ten thousand strong Tengu army with superior combat power.
The two sides fearlessly charged towards each other's formations, and a battle destined to be tragic would erupt in a few breaths.
But at this moment, the new moon in the sky seemed to dim for a moment.
Then, the second sword qi arrived with a bang, instantly leaving a sword mark nearly a hundred feet long in the shrinking gap between the two sides!
"Rumble!!!"
The deafening roar drowned out all other sounds, gravel and yellow sand rose several feet high, and the earth trembled slightly.
Compared to the first sword that blocked Wei Changtian just now, the power of Qin Zhengqiu's second sword was obviously several times greater, even no less than the time he "cut down three thousand soldiers with one sword" in Guanghan County!
However, this time, apart from a few unlucky ones, not many people died.
Unleashing such a sword was not for killing people.
Then Qin Zhengqiu's intention was obvious.
"Retreat!!!"
Holding Li Wutong, Wei Changtian flashed into the Tengu army formation without the slightest hesitation and immediately shouted a word.
And Ning Yongnian, who was on the other side of the sword mark like a ravine, also gritted his teeth and made the same choice.
"Don't chase! Return to the city!"
"..."
The sand turns over, leaving wave-like marks, and the wind howls urgently, sounding like thunder.
When they came, they were like surging waves, and when they retreated, they were like a rumbling avalanche.
It must be said that the execution of both armies was very strong, even though so many changes had suddenly occurred, everyone stopped their forward momentum at the first moment, and then quickly retreated.
Fifty feet, eighty feet, one hundred feet...
The distance between the two sides grew farther and farther, and soon they completely distanced themselves.
As if in the blink of an eye, the battlefield, which had just been crowded with people, was empty, leaving only a ground of scattered arrows and the Rising Moon Sword mark that "stopped the war with one sword."
Yellow sand swirled, and white snow connected to the sky.
A fierce battle was so easily resolved, and such a situation seemed a bit strange at first glance.
The cold wind roared, and the two men in their respective armies both looked back before leaving.
The ravine across the battlefield was straight, dividing the chessboard into two like the Chu River and the Han border.
The vast chessboard awaits, and one day the clouds will surge to seize the supreme position.
This sword not only quelled a great battle and balanced the strength of Wei Changtian and Ning Yongnian.
It was also announcing the entry of a third player.
Two hours later, at Xu time.
The night was already deep, and there were continuous fires fifty miles south of Huailing City, where the Tengu army was stationed.
Wei Changtian sat in the main tent, playing with the small arrowhead he had found on Wu Ding's body, his expression unreadable.
Regarding Xu Sui's motives, he now had a rough guess.
Since the former didn't want Li Qi to die, nor did she want Ning Yongnian to die, nor did she want him to die, then what she wanted was undoubtedly not "sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight."
After all, if Xu Sui really wanted to watch from the sidelines, she wouldn't have saved Li Qi, let alone stopped him from killing Ning Yongnian.
Therefore, she most likely wanted all parties to retain a certain amount of strength, and even wanted everyone to "turn enemies into friends."
And the reason for doing so could only be one—
That is, whether it is Da Ning or Da Feng, they are about to encounter an unprecedented catastrophe.
Wei Changtian didn't know where this catastrophe came from, but this should be the truth.
Because only in this way can Xu Sui's every move as a "seer" make sense.
She wanted to stop the current chaotic situation as soon as possible, and then gather all the forces that could be gathered to jointly resist this catastrophe.
"Her ambition is quite big..."
Shaking his head, he muttered softly to himself.
Wei Changtian put the arrowhead into his arms, and then continued to stare blankly at the flickering candlelight.
It should be known that all of this was just speculation at present, but if it was true, then Xu Sui would probably send a clearer signal soon.
She might even convene a "three-party negotiation."
At the thought that he might be sitting at a table with Ning Yongnian to make peace, a sneer appeared on the corner of Wei Changtian's mouth.
I don't care about your damn catastrophe, as long as there is a chance, I will definitely kill Ning Yongnian!
This will not change no matter what Xu Sui says!
Wei Changtian didn't care what consequences Ning Yongnian's death would cause, let alone what negative impact this consequence would have on the future situation.
Even if only for the three million people who died in Yuanzhou City, Ning Yongnian must die!
As for what happens after his death...
It's still the same sentence, no matter what the future holds, just do what you think you should do now.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian finally stood up and walked out of the tent.
"Young Master."
Zhang San, who was waiting outside, immediately greeted him and said in a low voice: "The accompanying doctor just checked, and Princess Wuping is fine. Ning Yongnian did not use any hidden poison."
"Mm."
Nodding, Wei Changtian replied casually:
"Lead the way, I'll go see her."
