Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 443 The End of the Sword
As a general, you should be a (??) soldier.

If this was an examination paper from the Youcheng Military Academy, then students who filled in the word "caring" in the brackets would definitely not get points.

Because this question appears every year on the examination paper of the Military Academy that trains general officers, and the answer to this question remains the same and unique every year.

As a general, you should lead by example.

Of course, opponents can argue that this sentence is inappropriate for ten thousand reasons: Those who take the lead will naturally bear the brunt of the battle, but once the general falls first, who will command the remaining soldiers? How to deal with the wavering of morale?
And to put it more utilitarian, the difference in resources invested by the Immortal Alliance in training an ordinary soldier is more than ten times that in training an elite general? An officer who is qualified to graduate from the military academy and join the army to perform his duties has at least several million or even tens of millions of investment from the Immortal Alliance. If he dies hastily in battle, how can he be worthy of this training?
These principles are all correct, but fighting in the military formation is not about reasoning with others, nor is it about arguing about right and wrong. Instead, every officer and soldier involved is required to risk his or her life and property to fight against the enemy! It requires a group of cultivators who have mastered violence that far exceeds that of ordinary people. They train and hibernate in military camps day after day, isolating themselves from the world of flowers and flowers, and then, when the wilderness invades, they use what they have learned for many years on the battlefield. Burn out.

Logically speaking, this is not a choice that a normal and rational person would make.

Therefore, a general in the army must not use reason to lead his troops in battle. Only by using your own blood to inspire the blood of thousands of soldiers behind you can you win victory on the battlefield.

And this is the belief that Guan Tiejun has always adhered to and never wavered in his long life as a soldier, growing up to become the marshal of the Zhuwang Dinghuang Army and the pioneer commander of the Immortal Alliance.

Now, when the Immortal Alliance encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, Guan Tiejun did not hesitate to stand on the front line.

Initially, there was no lack of opposition.

Use the Immortal Ancestor's Blood Clothes as a barrier to cover the opponent's perception, launch a surprise attack silently, hold the Holy Sword of Ning Yuan, and carry the hundreds of strange swords condensed in the Taixu Formation under your feet, and kill the real immortal with the sword... This is this In the game, the last stand from the Immortal Alliance was a desperate blow launched when all plans failed, and even the 100,000 soldiers from all directions and the Immortal Alliance couldn't do anything to the opponent.

And this person is not Guan Tiejun.

The onlookers who were in charge of the Taixu Formation also saw with their own eyes that Guan Tiejun's aura was constantly expanding, and after a certain critical point, he overwhelmingly overwhelmed his opponent!

He was far from his prime, and even when Lu Youyou wanted to privately arrange the secret method for him to advance to become a god, he refused on the grounds that he was unable to bear it.

Guan Dingnan's appearance is not surprising, because when planning this strange man and one hundred swords, the staff in the formation had already deduced Guan Dingnan's factor. He had been quietly approached by Bai Cheng a long time ago, and was captured and bewitched. Fortunately, as a frontline commander, the burning things on his shoulders and chest helped him to some extent neutralize some of the power of the magic, and did not completely fall into his grasp. But he had to remain ill in the fortress.

Although this marshal has illustrious military exploits with his own hands, and even has a Nascent Soul that has reached a state of perfection, he is not known for his talent in swordsmanship, or in other words, he has never been known for his excellence in any of the magical arts. Among all the military arts, he was top-notch in almost any one. He is just good at mastering all these hundreds of arts, integrating them, and finally turning them into solid and outstanding military exploits.

The Hundred Swordsmen of the Immortal Alliance who were in the local Taixu Formation even had a vague illusion. As the battle progressed, not only did they not weaken, but they became stronger. Every time he swung the holy sword, he and this immortal sword of troubled times, which had drank the blood of countless true immortals, merged more deeply, so much so that the swordsmanship in his hand, which had been perfected through countless tempers, showed faint signs of a breakthrough in battle!

At this moment, when Zhenxian Bai Cheng's shoulder was scratched with blood by the Holy Sword of Ning Yuan, the top floor of the fortress had been tightly wrapped with ink-drenched sword marks. In this spider-web-like sword formation, there were almost no injured. There was no room for movement, and her opponent even maintained perfect barrier skills. Every sword shot was unpredictable. Every time the sword is struck, it maintains its peak power, as if the fuel to drive the holy sword is still endless.

And how much combustible material can be left in Guan Tiejun's remains?
But in the end, Guan Tiejun personally invited the Ning Yuan Holy Sword, held it in his hand, and silently stepped onto the front line.

Therefore, when Guan Tiejun finally took the last step and slashed the holy sword from Bai Cheng's blind spot, everyone condensed all the sincere thoughts in their hearts at this moment and let out a silent roar in their hearts.

Of course, such a situation cannot last forever. With a mere golden elixir against a true immortal, no matter how much external support there is, it is only a matter of time before the fall... Moreover, when the last sword is unsheathed, it will inevitably mean that all the local arrangements will be destroyed. Has expired. Guan Dingnan is also very likely to be used by the other party. In the worst case, he may even be made into a puppet that can be killed.

At this time, we are only one step away from Zhu Xian!
When taking the last step, everyone exhausted their caution. No one was willing to fall short at the last moment, and no one doubted that the true immortal above him must have a strange magic that could reverse the outcome.

How can such a person serve as the vanguard of this last fight? In fact, simply controlling the Ning Yuan Holy Sword is already an almost impossible task. This is because the Immortal Sword of the Troubled Times, which originated from the Mahayana True Monarch, must be supplemented by the Immortal Alliance Formation operating at full power before it can be controlled by the successors of Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation. However, when the Immortal Alliance must launch a last-ditch effort, most of the time there is no usable formation at the foot of the Spirit Mountain. The sword holder needs to burn his own life, memory, and even everything that can be burned before he can wield the holy sword.

However, even this ability has been sealed by countless ferocious scars after decades of life and death... It has been a long time since anyone in the Nanxiang Dinghuang Army has seen the marshal's frightening sun-like true energy and immortal light. . His Qi and blood were depleting, his meridians were withering, and his incomparable tenacity was mostly used to suppress the pain of his body that was riddled with holes.

However, amidst everyone's roars, a thin figure suddenly flashed beside Bai Cheng, and seemed to overlap with Bai Cheng, just in front of the killing sword!
That's Guan Dingnan!
In the local Taixu Formation, all the swordsmen armed with strange swords could not help but feel almost undetectable at this moment.

When Guan Tiejun's son suddenly appeared in the sword formation and blocked Bai Cheng's sword... Every swordsman who was in the Taixu formation and led himself into the marshal felt the instinctive struggle and resistance.

in!
Hit it! Hit it!

Then, let everyone’s eyes open.

He is the commander-in-chief of the pioneering front line. He is a soldier who has won the respect of millions of coalition forces with his hard work and solid military exploits.

This attack no longer requires the general to take the lead, nor does it need to inspire the blood of an army of 100,000. On the contrary, what it needs is an executor who is as cold and cruel as a sharp arrow, and what it needs is the best swordsman among the millions of soldiers of the Immortal Alliance to control the Holy Sword of Ning Yuan.

At the same time, he is also the son of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

Therefore, at this moment, a flaw appeared in this supreme Taixu spiritual awareness.

However, the flaw in the underground secret room did not become Guan Tiejun's flaw.

The hesitation of Qi Ren Bai Jian did not appear in his heart at all. He seemed not to see the face of his biological son who was so close at hand, nor did he seem to realize that the help from Taixu had been cut off. He just burned everything and used the Holy Spirit in his hand. As always, the sword drew the most flawless trajectory, even more flawless.

At this moment, only Guan Tiejun can make this perfect sword!
And the Holy Sword of Ning Yuan also moved from top to bottom in an unstoppable manner, slashing down heavily!
Then, the shadows under the sword suddenly scattered.

Bai Cheng's right hand was cut off by the holy sword, and his arm instantly disappeared into ashes, seemingly inexplicably. The cross-section of the wound that opened on the shoulder and neck was firmly stuck to the thick night like a gangrene attached to the bone. As the night boils, all the vitality belonging to Bai Cheng is quickly corroded.

In front of Bai Cheng, Guan Dingnan also had his right hand chopped off. His injuries were the same as those of Bai Cheng, but his arm did not disappear. Although the injuries on his shoulder and neck were heavy, they were not fatal to a Jindan practitioner.

The core power of the Ning Yuan Holy Sword is not used to kill the people of the Immortal Alliance.

Therefore, the same sword wound has completely different results.

So... Guan Tiejun's flawless sword slash at the critical moment suddenly yielded flawless results!
The true immortal Bai Cheng was cut off by the Holy Sword of Ning Yuan, but Guan Dingnan, who was taken as a hostage, miraculously saved his life!
This is indeed a miracle that only Guan Tiejun can accomplish.

just.

The miracle was frozen at the moment of blooming.

The time and space on the top floor of the fortress seemed to have stopped.

Guan Tiejun's Ning Yuan Holy Sword finally severely wounded Bai Cheng, but after this strike, the old man stayed on the spot, motionless, neither paying attention to his son's injury, nor taking advantage of the victory to pursue him.

It is true that the injury to Bai Cheng's shoulder and neck is already fatal - the Holy Sword of Ning Yuan will not only kill the body of Bai Cheng, but also directly destroy the existence of Bai Cheng. It is like a poison that cannot be cured. Once the injury crosses the critical point, the result is already determined.

However, at this moment, rather than expecting the destined result to come by itself, anyone will take a step forward and make that result earlier. Bai Cheng's right hand had been chopped off. While the injury was fatal, the magical power on his body should have also disintegrated. Facing the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces holding the holy sword, he could no longer resist. So... it should be just a matter of effort to kill an owl with a sword.

But Guan Tiejun did not take this step.

The underground secret room, the 100,000 military formation outside the fortress, and even the hundreds of distant Immortal Alliance countries... countless eyes were focused on the top of the fortress, focusing on Guan Tiejun.

After the initial shock, sighs flowed from people's hearts.

Guan Tiejun suddenly ran out of gas and was unable to advance even half a step further.

In this regard, no one can express a single regretful complaint.

Anyone who has witnessed the whole process can see what an incredible miracle it is that Guan Tiejun slashed out nearly a hundred swords in an instant, and that the black sword net that seemed to only cover the top of the fortress was.

He has already demonstrated his power far beyond the planned expectations!

It was expected that even Ziwu Sword Master, who was the most skilled swordsman in the army, would be able to strike at most fifteen swords under the infinite pressure of his body and mind.

But fifteen swords were obviously not enough to kill Bai Cheng. Even in a parasitic state, her strength still far exceeded the upper limit of the plan.

If it weren't for Guan Tiejun's performance that also exceeded the limit, this last strange force of the Immortal Alliance would have been defeated!

Therefore, at this moment, although Guan Tiejun failed to bring this miracle to a successful conclusion, it was enough.

After that, as long as Bai Cheng is swallowed up by the sword wound and dies completely on the land of the Immortal Alliance, at the foot of the Lingshan Mountain where she once practiced and lived... this biggest disaster on the pioneering road will finally come to an end.

"Oh, it's finally over."

In the underground secret room, someone unknown expressed the voice in his heart.

This is of course an absolutely prohibited behavior. The strange people and hundreds of swords in the local Taixu Formation must not be distracted by external forces when they are used. After all, the slightest mistake may cause a complete collapse on the top platform.

But now, since the outcome of the battle has been determined, a little indulgence does not seem to be surprising.

However, just as people in the formation looked at each other in confusion, they seemed to be waiting for someone to speak first and ask everyone to cheer and celebrate...

"It's not over yet!"

An inexplicable roar suddenly burst into everyone's heart. In such a state of shock, people didn't even have time to identify the owner of the voice.

Because the battle is indeed not over yet.

On the top floor of the fortress, the boiling ink on Bai Cheng's shoulder and neck injuries was slowly calming down.

In the Qiling Hall of Lingshan, the golden blood flowing from Lu Youyou's seven orifices suddenly turned red! And the 100,000 soldiers she suppressed with the Yao sword are just about to move!
why?
At this moment, this question has inevitably appeared in everyone's mind.

Why, at this point, Bai Cheng is not dead yet, and even the spreading desolate poison is still faintly strengthened?

No one can answer this question.

At this time, only a few people on the field understood the truth in an instant.

Guan Tiejun mercilessly slashed Guan Dingnan, which indeed allowed his swordplay to remain flawless... but the act of fighting between father and son, even if it did not cause fatal injuries, still satisfied Bai Cheng's needs.

The desolate poison that permeates this place needs the most nourishment from the people of the Immortal Alliance fighting each other. Conflict between husband and wife is just a form of cannibalism. The killing of father and son, carried out by the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, seemed to be the most grand sacrifice in the ceremony, enough to bring about a miracle.

In fact, if Guan Tiejun had not maintained the perfect sword path with a determination that surpassed anyone else at the critical moment, thus saving Guan Dingnan's life... Once Guan Dingnan really fell, Bai Cheng would be strengthened like never before, and maybe even All injuries recovered.

Therefore, there is no way to blame anyone. If Guan Tiejun hadn't personally taken action in this round, no one else would even be qualified to seriously injure Bai Cheng. However, seeing that Bai Cheng was about to make a comeback, no one in the audience had the power to stop her...

Except for one person.

Guan Dingnan stretched out his remaining left hand and tried to support himself to stand up.

There was chaos in his mind. Memory, rationality... everything seemed to have been destroyed. Only an instinctive thought drove him to come to his father like a walking corpse.

He took the Ning Yuan Holy Sword from the hands of the old man who had run out of oil. The hilt of the sword was as hot as if there was a fire burning.

But he didn't realize it. He turned his head and faced Bai Cheng, approaching slowly and resolutely step by step.

Bai Cheng was a little funny.

Although the sword wound she suffered just now nearly cut off her life, she managed to save her life by relying on a set of flawless preparations.

Now, her injuries were a hundred times more serious than Guan Dingnan's.

But her magical powers are more than a thousand times better than those of the other party?
Even if she only had one breath left, there was no way she would be injured by a walking corpse.

However, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her mind.

"Sister Bai Cheng, please stop."

-

Afterwards, everyone witnessed with their own eyes that Guan Dingnan finally came to Bai Cheng in a desperate situation and pierced the left holy sword deeply into her chest.
