Chapter 2293 - 2294: Razor-Sharp Blades
Chapter 2293: Chapter 2294: Razor-Sharp Blades
The blades were sharp and cold, yet they only sparked upon contact with the lizards’ skin, leaving not the slightest mark, not even a scratch on the surface.
Not only that, these lizards, provoked, waved their tails and charged toward the soldiers of the Yue Clan.
Boom!
With each thunderous impact, the entire formation of the Yue Clan soldiers was forcefully pushed back several meters.
Luckily, the shield swordsmen were prepared beforehand, guarding everyone with their massive shields, so no one was injured.
But this was not a long-term solution, as these lizards were charging fiercely, clearly intending to swallow the Yue Clan soldiers whole.
At this moment, Xue An said in a deep voice, "Change formation, Cone Formation!"
His voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of every Yue Clan soldier clearly.
In an instant, the entire unit of Yue Clan soldiers began to rapidly shift, finally forming a sharp cone-like formation.
The tip of the cone was led by squad leaders within the soldiers, elites among elites.
"Charge! Kill those who block!" Xue An commanded once more.
These four simple words were filled with supreme authority.
The military might greatly resonated, swiftly gathering at the cone’s tip.
The squad leaders felt an inexhaustible power surging through their bodies, eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Swish swish swish!
As the blades swung once more, they sliced through everything before them like a hot knife through butter, cutting all the blocking lizards in half.
As blood splattered, the cone formation pierced through the entire lizard swarm like a sharp sword.
After breaking through, a bloody path was left behind.
"Turn around, kill again!" Xue An’s tone was void of any emotion.
The entire unit, like a well-oiled machine, swiftly changed direction and charged in once more.
After several such exchanges, most of the lizards were slaughtered.
The remaining ones finally felt fear and began to flee in all directions.
But how could Xue An possibly let them go?
"Clear the battlefield, leave no one behind!"
At this moment, the Yue Clan soldiers resembled gods of slaughter charging out of hell, with their killing intent solidifying into armor on their bodies.
Under the blessing of this military might and killing intent, in just a moment, all the lizards were slaughtered to the last.
When the last lizard fell, a cold voice echoed in the hearts of everyone participating in the Martial Tournament.
"The first trial, Yue Clan ranks first!"
With this announcement, the soldiers battling in their respective scenarios couldn’t help but shudder, displaying expressions of astonishment.
In the tropical rainforest, Long Zhan cleaved a towering gorilla of seven to eight meters tall in half with a single slash, but upon hearing this news, even his mask couldn’t hide the fury in his heart.
"Damn it, wasn’t the Yue Clan already in decline? How are they so formidable?"
Immediately, he roared furiously at the Commander-in-Chief of the Long Family, "What are you being fed for? How could you let others snatch the top spot? I want results in fifteen minutes!"
The Commander-in-Chief of the Long Family had a somber expression, his eyelids twitching.
He was extremely displeased with Long Zhan’s overstepping into his duties, as nothing is more dangerous in the military than having two individuals with command authority.
But there was nothing he could do, as Long Zhan was the most favored son of the Family Head!
So he could only swallow his anger and said in a deep voice, "At all costs, conclude this first trial swiftly!"
In a flash, the soldiers of the Long Family began attacking madly, and their progress suddenly sped up.
However, this kind of frenzied attack also prematurely exhausted their stamina.
This was an extremely unwise action, as this was merely the first trial, with a long journey yet to come!
As the Long Family went crazy, things weren’t easier for the Sima Family either.
Sima Tiancheng obviously wouldn’t be as foolish as Long Zhan, but he also felt immense pressure, for his father, Sima Chongzhao, had already said before the Martial Tournament.
As long as they achieve a good result in this Martial Tournament, he would be established as the future successor.
With this goal in mind, he could only forge ahead bravely.
Thus, he secretly signaled the Commander-in-Chief of the Sima Family.
The latter, understanding his intentions, also began deploying soldiers to intensify the attack.
Unlike the immense pressure felt by the two families, Zhongli Wuwang, who was exuberantly killing sea monsters in the ocean, first froze for a moment upon receiving the news, then burst into laughter.
"Good! Now this is interesting!"
Then he turned and shouted at the soldiers of the Zhongli Family, "Children, did you hear that? Someone snatched our first place, so what should we do next?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
There aren’t many normal soldiers under someone as reckless as Zhongli Wuwang, and at this moment, all of them, with red eyes, roared deeply.
"Exactly, it’s killing! This Martial Tournament, first place must be ours, charge!"
The Zhongli Family began a frenzied slaughter.
Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield, Gu Wangya, who was leisurely dealing with the demons before her, showed little excitement after hearing the news.
Because she never intended to vie for the first place, as long as she could assure a ranking similar to the last time, it would be considered a mission accomplished.
With this relaxed mindset, she even turned back to instruct, "Don’t rush, conserve your strength, wear down these demons slowly!"
"Understood!"
The form of the battle quickly became more stable, as Gu Wangya stepped back, withdrawing from the battlefield, then turned to look toward a certain direction.
She had a unique ability: once she met someone, she could vaguely pinpoint their location.
This ability also contributed to her illustrious military accomplishments.
Now she could determine that the white-clothed young man who left a deep impression on her was in that direction.
"Interesting, it seems this year’s Martial Tournament will bring many unpredictable variables!"
On the battlefield, the reactions of each family varied, and so did those off the battlefield.
This Martial Tournament is an ancient ceremony passed down since ancient times, with supreme beings having modified it.
For instance, now, including Yue Qinghuan and the elders of the Yue Clan, almost all the family heads were gathered in the Martial Hall, watching the battlefield through a massive water screen.
This viewing wasn’t a live broadcast.
After all, those participating in this Bing Family Martial Tournament aren’t ordinary people; if it were a live broadcast, and there happened to be some communication method that could bypass barriers between the outside world and the battlefield, wouldn’t that mean having a God’s-eye view of the battlefield?
Considering this, the battlefield situation was presented through something akin to a progress bar.
Each of the twelve participating teams had their progress bar, and with each accomplished task, the bar would grow longer.
This not only provided an intuitive reflection of the field situation but also prevented cheating, achieving two goals with one move.
