#275 - anger
The Qin army, led by Qin Liang, quickly transitioned into an iron-bucket formation.
The Great Ming Second Army, under Wang Tian's command, swiftly transformed from the Xuanwu formation into a spear formation adept at offensive maneuvers.
The spear formation charged towards the Qin army's iron-bucket formation.
Faced with He Yan's death, Wang Tian and Qin Buyi simultaneously directed their anger towards Qin Liang's forces.
He Yan, as a senior Great Perfection cultivator in the Great Ming Dynasty, had extensive connections with various aristocratic families.
Wang Tian of the Wang family, in particular, had received much guidance and favor from He Yan in his youth.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that He Yan was Wang Tian's mentor.
"Boom!"
The tips of the spears in the spear formation struck the iron-bucket formation.
A faint light shimmered on the iron-bucket formation, with layers of ripples emerging under the intense assault.
"Rumble!"
The sound of the collision between the two sides reverberated throughout the battlefield, even causing dust to rise from the ground.
The news of He Yan's death quickly spread throughout the entire Great Ming Second Army, casting a layer of sorrow over the faces of all the soldiers.
More than eighty percent of the soldiers selected for the Great Ming Second Army were graduates of the Great Ming Academy.
Every student who graduated from the Great Ming Academy held this highly respected First Dean in reverence.
How could they not be saddened by the death of such a figure?
All the soldiers of the Great Ming Second Army were eager to exert every ounce of strength to attack the obstructive iron-bucket formation before them.
Qin Buyi, wielding the Killing Blade, took the lead, spearheading the attack.
"Eight Nine Arcane Art - Law, Heaven, and Earth!"
Qin Buyi's figure rapidly grew to a thousand zhang in size, resembling a giant.
Wielding the equally enlarged Killing Blade, Qin Buyi roared, "Killing - Death Domain!"
A dark domain rapidly expanded outward from Qin Buyi's center.
"Killing - Slaughter!"
The rapidly vibrating Killing Blade was swung with full force towards the iron-bucket formation.
"Boom!"
The Killing Blade's cold blade landed on the iron-bucket formation, emitting a tremendous sound.
At the point where the Killing Blade struck, many Qin soldiers maintaining the iron-bucket formation were severely injured by the powerful force, with traces of blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.
"Killing - Annihilation!"
A blood-colored moon rose in the field, enveloping the entire iron-bucket formation.
Countless Killing Blade phantoms emerged in the blood moon, their blades pointed towards all the Qin soldiers within the iron-bucket formation.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
"Clang!"...
The Killing Blade phantoms crisscrossed within the blood moon, launching an all-encompassing, three-hundred-and-sixty-degree attack.
This caused the spiritual energy of many Qin soldiers maintaining the iron-bucket formation to rapidly deplete. Soon, these Qin soldiers' spiritual energy was exhausted, and they were replaced by Qin soldiers from the rear.
"Killing - Soul Scattering!"
Qin Buyi's divine sense surged from his sea of consciousness, pouring into the Killing Blade phantoms within the blood moon.
Along with it, the aura of death within the dark domain was injected.
In an instant, all the Killing Blade phantoms transformed into three colors, from left to right: gold, blood, and darkness, their offensive power increasing to a new level.
Many Qin soldiers within the iron-bucket formation felt the enhanced Killing Blade phantoms and couldn't help but change their expressions drastically.
Qin Buyi didn't give these Qin soldiers within the iron-bucket formation much time to react, pointing at the iron-bucket formation and shouting, "Kill!"
Countless three-colored Killing Blade phantoms once again charged towards the iron-bucket formation.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"
"Clang!" "Clang!"...
This time, the power was even greater than before. The spiritual energy of the Qin soldiers on the outermost perimeter of the iron-bucket formation was rapidly exhausted before they could even be replaced.
More than eighty percent of the Qin soldiers on the outer perimeter had faces as pale as paper, and their auras were extremely chaotic...
Loud shouts arose from among the Qin soldiers:
"Hurry up and replace the people in front, the Great Ming Second Army is crazy."
"How did it suddenly become like this? Damn it!"
"Did the Great Ming Second Army take the wrong medicine?"
"The one who took the wrong medicine should be their commander, Qin Buyi. Look at him, he's using his own strength to severely injure so many of our brothers."
"This Qin Buyi is insane! The combined attack power of their Second Army isn't even as strong as him alone."
"What exactly is going on?"......
Inside the Qin army's military camp.
Qin Liang frowned as he listened to the continuous attacks outside and the occasional loud explosions.
Qin Liang said to Qin Lin, "Qin Lin, have you found out why the Great Ming Second Army is suddenly going crazy?"
Qin Lin, with sweat beading on his forehead, replied, "Searching, still searching."
Qin Liang, hearing the sounds of Qin soldiers being injured outside and Qin Buyi's powerful offensive, couldn't help but urge, "Qin Lin, hurry and find out."
Qin Lin held a sound transmission jade talisman, constantly sending messages to every channel he could contact.
These sent messages were like stones sinking into the sea. Qin Lin anxiously thought, "What are these Qin army elites following Young Master Ling doing? Why haven't they replied yet?"
It would be a miracle if the Qin army elites replied, given Young Master Ling's deliberate actions.
The Great Ming First Army, led by He Yan, had slaughtered the majority of the Qin army elites, leaving basically no survivors.
The few survivors were only spared because of their low cultivation levels.
The Great Ming First Army didn't bother expending energy on a few mere soldiers, so they were lucky enough to escape.
As Qin Lin waited anxiously, a channel from the Great Qin Imperial Capital finally responded.
Qin Lin quickly asked the other party about the situation on the front lines where they were fighting the Great Ming First Army.
The other party was initially hesitant, unwilling to quickly tell Qin Lin the true situation.
As Qin Lin invoked Qin Liang's name, the other party stammered and explained the situation clearly.
Qin Lin was stunned upon hearing the news from the other party.
Qin Liang, seeing Qin Lin's expression, asked, "Qin Lin, what happened?"
Qin Lin stuttered, "Marshal Liang, I... the Great Qin elites we previously trained are almost completely wiped out!"
Qin Liang's mind went "boom," and he was plunged into a blank state.
Qin Liang slumped in his chair, unable to accept the news of the Great Qin elites being almost completely wiped out for a moment.
Of all living things, who can be without feelings?
Especially when facing the Great Qin elites that he had built up with his own hands, Qin Liang felt an indescribable heartache.
Even though he had previously told Qin Lin that he would rebuild a new army, it didn't mean that Qin Liang had completely let go of his Great Qin elites in his heart.
After slumping in the chair for a long time, Qin Liang finally came back to his senses and asked, "My Great Qin elites are almost completely wiped out, what about the Great Ming First Army?"
Qin Lin replied, "The Great Ming First Army's overall casualties have exceeded one-third, and that number is still rapidly increasing."
Qin Liang stood up and grabbed Qin Lin, saying, "Qin Lin, now tell me everything from the beginning."
Qin Lin said, "Marshal Liang, do you remember Young Master Ling?"
Qin Liang replied, "Of course I remember. Even if that person who caused my Great Qin elites to be almost completely wiped out turned into ashes, I would still recognize him."
