C342 The Long Snake Is Fighting the Enemy
"All soldiers, listen to my command! Protect the marshal!"
Bao Hong did not panic in the face of danger. He gave the order to everyone. "Even if it means risking your lives, do not let the enemy harm the marshal in the slightest. Set up the Long Snake Formation and meet the enemy!"
Instantly, all the Chu soldiers present started to move in an orderly manner. They consciously lined up in a line that grew in length. Like a giant python, they surrounded Yelv Cheng in the middle. Immediately following that, Bao Hong shouted, "Kill!"
This long snake formation formed by the army started to operate. Countless Chu soldiers either held spears or spears and moved around Yelv Cheng at a fast speed. As the army moved, they let out shouts from each person's mouth. They wanted to disturb the enemy and then make them fear. If they did not fight, they would fear first.
At this moment, the distance between Yelv Cheng and Bao Hong was less than 100 feet. The long snake formation was used to retreat in the chaos.
"Heh, Long Snake Formation, what a joke. Do you think you can stop me with just this?" Yelv Cheng saw that the distance between him and Chu Bing was getting closer and closer, like a giant python using its body to gradually tighten the enemy's grip. He smiled disdainfully, and his eyes became sharper and sharper. "Watch how I break your long snake formation today!"
As he spoke, he unleashed a palm attack towards the snake's head. With a bang, dozens of people died on the spot. Seeing this, Chu Bing, who was at the tail of the snake, immediately shouted and rushed to the sky. It was like the tail of a snake was firmly tied up. However, Yelv Cheng relied on his invincible power. He was not afraid at all. He shuttled through the battlefield and continuously attacked. Every time he attacked, dozens of Chu Bing would fall to the ground, unable to get up, because his movement technique was too fast. The long snake formation formed by the Chu Army was often attacked elsewhere by him before they could even look at each other. For a moment, he and the hundreds of thousands of Chu Army were locked in an inextricable fight.
However, no matter how ruthless he attacked, he was still unable to scare away the soldiers of the Chu Army who were already red in the eyes. Seeing Bao Hong and the others fleeing further and further away with Dou Tianlai, Yelv Cheng finally understood what was going on. Bao Hong had never intended to use this formation to kill him from the very beginning. The formation was just for the sake of getting rid of the golden cicada's shell. He couldn't help but be furious, "Shameless Hidden Dragon brat, if the commander of the Japanese army doesn't catch you today and tear you into pieces. . . I, Yelv Cheng, am the commander of our army!"
The departure of Bao Hong and the others had completely made him lose his patience. Yelv Cheng no longer held back his strength and attacked even more violently. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, over a thousand corpses of Chu Army had piled up under his feet. And as he continued to attack, the number of corpses gradually increased. However, Yelv Cheng still felt unsatisfied, because Bao Hong and the others had already fled with Dou Tianlai. If he couldn't kill Old Man Dou today, then all his efforts would be in vain. They had sacrificed four hundred thousand soldiers for nothing?
Thinking of this, Yelv Cheng roared furiously and actually forced back several thousand Chu soldiers. After that, he took large strides forward with extreme speed, intending to break the long snake formation. Little did he know that he had completely violated the taboo of the long snake formation. As soon as the snake body was injured, the Chu soldiers on both sides of the snake's head and tail quickly counterattacked. They rushed towards the snake without caring about anything else, and joined forces with the military forces to crazily kill it.
Yelv Cheng could no longer maintain his calm. As the commander of the Barbarian Army. . . He knew very well that although the long snake formation looked simple on the outside, it was still very powerful. It had a majestic aura, a wide range of attacks, and was very flexible. It would be fine if he attacked the front and the back of the formation. Relying on the support of his movement technique, the Long Snake Formation was so far away from its head and tail. He could easily deal with it, but if he rashly attacked the snake's body. . . It would definitely cause the snake's head to bite back and the snake's tail to roll back and kill him. He would be caught in a dangerous situation.
However, reality did not allow him to not be rash. He knew that if he delayed any longer. . . Bao Hong and the others did not know where they were going to hide Dou Tianlai. This camp was so big. He couldn't possibly search inch by inch. It would be easier if he could find Dou Tianlai in the end. If he couldn't find him, he would let Old Man Dou recover. Wouldn't that mean that all of their efforts would go to waste, even though Old Man Dou's injuries were extremely severe? He might not be able to recover from it, but he wasn't afraid of ten thousand. He was just afraid of what might happen. In the end, he had no choice but to do so. Yelv Cheng had no choice but to choose the most risky and most effective way to break out of the snake's trap.
As the saying went, a single move could affect the entire body. This time, the enemies Yelv Cheng had to face were not as simple as the snake's head, snake's tail, and other grand formations. Instead, it was a giant serpent made up of hundreds of thousands of people from the Chu Army. No matter how powerful he was at the Xiantian realm, he would never be able to defeat it. The Genuine Qi in his body didn't stop there, but it still couldn't beat the number of soldiers Chu Li had. The snake head, snake tail, and the army of snake heads kept attacking him. Not only did they fail to break out of the encirclement, but they also failed to break out of the encirclement. On the contrary, he felt exhausted.
"Damn bastards from the Chu Army! Aren't you afraid of death?!"
Yelv Cheng held a long blade in his hand and chopped off the heads of dozens of people in front of him in one breath. Blood mixed with brain matter splashed three feet high into the air. Part of it fell on his body, making him look like a Shura who only knew how to kill. It was indescribably terrifying, but it didn't scare away Chu Bing who had fallen into madness. Usually, when he had just killed one group, another group would charge over aggressively. He didn't even have time to rest.
"I don't believe it. If this continues, I won't be able to kill that Old Man Dou, let alone kill him. I'm afraid that my own life will be lost here. I have to think of a way to escape!"
When there was a time when people were poor, Yelv Cheng did not have the confidence to fight for seven days and seven nights in the army like Dou Tianlai. He knew his position very well. For ordinary people, Late Period of Innate Stage warriors might be high and mighty, and they could not be defeated by force. However, if they were to fight against the army. . . They would be no different from ordinary people. They would all be the praying mantis that blocked the carriage. However, he would be slightly stronger than ordinary people.
Yelv Cheng chose a slightly weak spot in the grand formation and made up his mind to break out from there. Immediately, he raised his Qi to the limit and gathered all the energy in his body into his legs. Then, he let out a world-shaking roar and rushed forward like a comet.
Yelv Cheng, who had unleashed all his Qi, was no longer passive. Countless Chu Bing were killed by his Qi before they could even get close to him. Along the way, there were some powerful Chu Army generals who attacked him from a distance, but Yelv Cheng did not care. He let the sword qi, sword qi, and even the real weapons hit him, but he only grunted and took them all. His perseverance was astonishing. In order to successfully break out of the encirclement, He resolutely gave up on attacking and defending. In the end. . . No one in the Chu Army could stop him. Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, He leaped high and broke through the encirclement. After that, he didn't even stop. He dragged his wounded body and chased after Bao Hong and the others at high speed.
