Chapter 844 Defeat the Black Tiger and prepare to execute the next move!
Furthermore, the current battle was fierce and stalemate, and every bit of his energy was crucial. If he were injured, his mobility and reaction speed would inevitably be greatly reduced. Facing a desperate expert like Black Tiger, and the expected influx of elite Chu troops, even the slightest drop in strength could be fatal! He shouldered the fate of the entire defense line, and even the entire Yangping Pass. He couldn't take any risks!
Therefore, Gao Yao could only choose the safest and most frustrating way - to defend!
With his exquisite swordsmanship and his superior combat instincts, he neutralized Black Tiger's torrential, suicidal attacks one by one. His feet moved, his body dodged, each block perfectly timed, each retreat leaving room for maneuver. He was like an indestructible reef, unmoved by the raging waves of Black Tiger, only to be forced back inch by inch by the immense force, leaving a trail of deep, bloody footprints behind him.
The black tiger's roar grew more violent, its attack more frantic. Chang Shuo's movements expanded in scope and became more powerful, completely disregarding the fact that his own defenses were exposed! He seemed to be determined to protect Gao Yao's life, and he unscrupulously squeezed his own life potential, wanting to completely wear down and tear apart this god of war!
Seeing his own front retreating step by step under the attack of the desperate elite of the Chu army, being compressed more and more narrowly, Gao Yao's heart was almost taut with anxiety. Cold anxiety bit his reason like a poisonous snake.
No more retreat! The city wall is the Southern Border Army's last lifeline! The Chu army can fail ten times, a hundred times; as long as the main force remains, they can make a comeback. But for the defenders of Yishui, the loss of the city wall means total annihilation, the defense line built with the lives of countless soldiers will collapse in an instant! All sacrifices will be for nothing!
"kill--!!!"
A roar filled with determination, anger, and a desperate will, like the roar of a dragon in the sky, suddenly burst out from Gao Yao's chest! This roar was not only a declaration of war against the enemy, but also a complete severing of all his concerns!
The shackles are broken, and the sharp edge is revealed!
Almost at the moment the roar came out, Gao Yao's entire aura changed drastically!
What had seemed like an indestructible black reef before now transformed into a black sun rising from the abyss, burning with the flames of destruction! In those deep eyes, all hesitation, calculation, and weighing faded, leaving only the purest, icy murderous intent! He no longer cared about being injured, nor did he worry about the consequences that his injuries might shake the morale of the troops! At this moment, he had only one thought in mind: to shred the enemy before him and recapture the city wall!
The Scarlet Sky Sword in his hand, as if sensing its master's boiling fighting spirit and desperate will, emitted a clear humming sound! The dark red blood light flowing on the sword instantly became brighter, as if magma was surging within the sword's spine!
Gao Yao kicked his foot hard, and the hard tiles shattered with a loud bang! He no longer retreated, but instead rushed forward with an attitude even more violent and determined than Black Tiger's previous charge! There was no more tentativeness or blocking in his movements, only the most primitive, direct, and domineering opening and closing!
Destroy everything!
This sudden reversal and outburst made the frantic Black Tiger feel suffocated for a moment! He felt that he was no longer facing an opponent that needed to be handled with caution, but a completely enraged beast that had broken free from all restraints!
Gao Yao's sword was so fast it surpassed Black Tiger's reaction limit! Its power surged to an incredible level! His previous exquisite sword moves were abandoned, replaced by the simplest and most brutal chopping, slashing, and sweeping techniques! Each sword strike contained the terrifying power to split mountains and crack rocks!
“Dang—Crack!!!”
Just a head-on confrontation!
Black Tiger poured all his strength into sweeping down Chang Shuo, intent on mutual destruction. The moment the Chixiao Sword's edge made contact, he uttered a sharp metallic whine, like a rotten branch, and was instantly severed in two! The broken spear shaft spun out with immense inertia, knocking down a nearby Chu soldier who hadn't managed to dodge!
The Scarlet Sky Sword's momentum remained unwavering! The blazing sword light, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, easily ripped through the meticulously forged black breastplate beneath Black Tiger's horrified gaze! The sturdy armor plates were sliced apart like fragile paper, leaving an ear-piercing tearing sound!
“Pfft——!!!”
Scalding blood gushed out like a fountain from the massive, bone-deep wound on Black Tiger's chest! The terrifying force of the Scarlet Sky Sword blasted his massive body back into the air like a broken sandbag, sending it flying several meters before crashing heavily into the crowded Chu army at the rear, triggering exclamations and screams.
The spot where the black tiger landed was instantly stained red with blood. He struggled, but the massive wound in his chest caused every breath to produce a thick foam of blood. His strength rapidly drained away, and his vision quickly blurred. This most valiant of Xiang Yu's personal guards, now like a tiger with a broken spine, was reduced to mere convulsions on the verge of death. If it weren't for his superior strength and tenacious willpower clinging to his last breath, he would have died instantly!
The gods came down to earth, and the Chu army was terrified!
This earth-shattering scene, like an icy sharp blade, instantly pierced the hearts of all the elite Chu troops who had just climbed up the city wall with great momentum!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the Black Tiger Commander, lying in a pool of blood, his life or death unknown. He was Overlord's sharpest henchman! The soul of the Xianzhen Camp! A fierce warrior capable of slaying tigers with his bare hands! And yet... Gao Yao had defeated him with just one sword strike?! One strike shattered the enemy's armor! One strike... nearly killed him?!
A tremendous fear spread like a plague among the elite Chu army! They looked at Gao Yao with unprecedented horror and... awe! They were no longer looking at a powerful enemy, but at a god who had descended to the mortal world and was in charge of slaughter!
"Kill the Chu army! Kill!!!"
Gao Yao's icy voice was like thunder, instantly breaking the dead silence! He didn't give the Chu army any chance to breathe or react!
The real slaughter has begun!
At this moment, Gao Yao has completely transformed into a storm of destruction on the battlefield!
The Scarlet Sky Sword was no longer a weapon in his hands, but an extension of the will of the God of Death! Wherever the sword's light reached, nothing could stop it!
A fierce soldier of the Chu army tried to block with a heavy iron shield, but the Chixiao Sword swept across, and the shield made of fine iron was cut diagonally like tofu, along with half of the body of the soldier behind him!
Another Chu soldier swung his sword, but before the blade could reach Gao Yao, the Chixiao Sword had already arrived, severing him in half, sword and all! Several Chu soldiers tried to stab with their spears simultaneously, but the Chixiao Sword swept across, severing all the spear tips and the arms holding them!
