The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

"Ah?" The six people who fired the gun were frightened by Duan Tianyang's appearance. Their legs went weak and they turned around to escape.

But how could Duan Tianyang let them go so easily?

His long sword was like a dragon, stabbing forward. With a "puff" sound, the neck of a firearms soldier was instantly pierced by the sharp blade, and the tip of the blade came out from the other side. With the remaining force, another firearms soldier followed suit. With one blow, two people died.

Duan Tianyang retracted his sword, and two bodies fell to the ground with a bang.

The other four firearms soldiers were about to reload their ammunition, but they saw Duan Tianyang flash in front of them.

The long sword drew a dazzling silver track in the air, like lightning cutting through the night sky. In a flash, a Jin soldier was cut in half, with his upper body separated from his lower body. The scene was shocking.

Duan Tianyang did not stop holding his sword, and swung it in the air. Another sharp wind blade shot out, and the other three firearms soldiers fell down without any escape.

"Kill!" All around, Jin soldiers holding spears surged in like a tide.

Duan Tianyang narrowed his eyes slightly, infused his true energy into the long sword, and instantly performed the cross slash. The wind blade was like a knife cutting paper, cutting the dozen or so Jin soldiers who were rushing in the front into pieces, and their limbs and arms flew all over the sky.

Duan Tianyang roared, leaned forward, and rushed straight to the most densely populated area of ​​the Jin army like a tiger descending from the mountain. The long sword flew left and right, and every swing was accompanied by the wailing and falling of the Jin soldiers. In the pool of blood, the number of fallen Jin soldiers continued to increase.

The weapons of the surrounding Jin army fell on Duan Tianyang like raindrops, but he stood still like a rock, allowing the weapons to hit his armor, making crackling sounds.

Suddenly, Duan Tianyang stomped the ground with one foot, and a powerful pressure burst out from his body, forcing the surrounding Jin soldiers to retreat again and again.

Then, he once again unleashed the Extreme Blade Frenzy, and the wind blade raged. Wherever the Jin soldiers passed, they fell to the ground one after another. Some died on the spot, while others were mutilated and struggled in pain on the ground.

After the extreme blade went berserk, Duan Tianyang was the only one left standing around. None of the dozens of Jin soldiers survived, all of them died under his long sword.

Duan Tianyang had just breathed a sigh of relief when a dull "bang" suddenly sounded behind him, and then his body staggered forward involuntarily.

It turned out that a Jin soldier who seemed to be seriously injured and dying pulled the trigger at Duan Tianyang's back in desperation. The steel bullet penetrated his armor and left a hole.

Duan Tianyang seemed not to feel any pain. He clenched his teeth, said nothing, turned around quickly, and with a long knife in hand, he pressed forward against the attacker.

Upon seeing this, the Jin soldier's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his hands trembled as he operated the gunpowder bag and musket, attempting to make a final struggle.

He hurriedly loaded gunpowder and steel balls, intending to shoot again, but Duan Tianyang was already following him like a shadow, and he stabbed the soldier from bottom to top with his long sword, accurately and fiercely. With a crisp "click", the musket broke, and the black gunpowder and the broken palm scattered together. The Jin soldier let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Duan Tianyang showed no mercy and stabbed him in the mouth with the second knife. The blade came out from the back of his head, stopping his screams.

Although there were a hundred Jin soldiers in the barrel formation, they were no match for Duan Tianyang's bravery, and all of them died under his sword.

But looking around, the Hongxing Army was facing hundreds and thousands of such barrel formations. Even if Duan Tianyang had thousands of martial arts, it would be difficult to turn the tide.

The battlefield was littered with the bodies of their own soldiers, while the casualties of the Jin army seemed insignificant.

The disadvantage of the Hongxing Army became increasingly obvious, the balance of the battle had seriously tilted, and what they were facing was no longer a battle of victory or defeat, but a matter of how many people could survive.

Just as the Hongxing Army was fighting fiercely with the Jin Army and struggling to hold on, there was a burst of noise behind them. Fifty thousand Jin reinforcements came like a tide. They were the main force coming from Jinzhou to reinforce.

The Jin army in Jinling Town, after using the strategy of cutting off food supplies to confuse the Hongxing Army, deliberately delayed for three days in order to wait for this reinforcement.

Now, the Hongxing Army's retreat route has been completely cut off. The sudden appearance of 50,000 Jin Kingdom reinforcements is like a bolt from the blue, bringing a fatal blow to the already precarious battle situation.

Yi Shuirou, who was commanding from the rear, did not expect that there would be an enemy attack from behind. The 10,000 imperial troops she led were surrounded in an instant.

Upon hearing the news, Qiu Tieyi, Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer and others found Duan Tianyang covered in blood amidst the chaotic army.

The holes left by the bullets on his armor were shocking. Everyone was shocked and blurted out almost at the same time: "Brother Tian, ​​how are you injured?"

Duan Tianyang used his long sword as a staff and barely supported himself. His tone was filled with reproach and helplessness that were difficult to conceal: "Why didn't you obey my order to retreat?"

Faced with Duan Tianyang's questioning, everyone looked at each other. At this moment of life and death, who would be willing to escape alone and leave Duan Tianyang in danger?

“Brother Tian, ​​we…” He choked with sobs before he could finish his words.

In this situation, no amount of blame seemed futile. Duan Tianyang could only blame himself, blaming himself for not being able to see the secret of the Jin Dynasty's muskets and artillery in advance, which led to today's defeat.

"Brother Tian, ​​the enemy suddenly appeared behind our army, and the princess's troops have been surrounded. This battle... I'm afraid it will be disastrous. Brother Tian, ​​please retreat with us!" Qiu Tieyi's voice was filled with anxiety and despair.

Duan Tianyang looked around. The battlefield was filled with smoke and retreat had long become a luxury.

He smiled bitterly, then took a deep breath, with a look of determination in his eyes: "Tie Yi, lead the brothers to retreat, save as many people as possible, and make sure to help the princess break through, and then retreat to Taishan with all your strength!"

"Brother Tian, ​​then you..." Before everyone finished speaking, Duan Tianyang interrupted them. "Me?" He chuckled, pulled out the long knife stuck in the ground, and said casually, "Someone has to stay behind to cover us, otherwise, none of us can leave alive."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly changed, and they refused in unison: "No! If Brother Tian doesn't leave, we won't leave either!"

Staying behind to cover the rear is tantamount to committing suicide.

The faces of Qiu Tieyi, Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer and others were full of determination, and tears were welling up in their eyes.

"Retreat immediately, this is an order!" Duan Tianyang's voice was stern and firm, leaving no room for doubt. "I don't want to say it a third time, do you hear me?"

“Brother Tian——” Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned red, and they all knelt on one knee, tears silently falling.

Duan Tianyang's eyes were like torches as he scanned every one of his brothers. His tone was filled with unquestionable determination: "When you retreat, tell the brothers that I have already withdrawn. Let them escape as soon as possible. Saving their lives is the most important thing!"

After these words were spoken, even Qiu Tieyi, who was known for his iron-blooded character, couldn't help but burst into tears, and Lu Jingyuan was in tears and sobbing.

Hua Duoer stared at Duan Tianyang blankly, tears streaming down her cheeks...

Duan Tianyang was furious when he saw this. He kicked Qiu Tieyi on the shoulder and shouted, "Why are you crying? There's no point in a man crying! What you have to do now is to take your brothers and evacuate. Do you hear me?!"

Qiu Tieyi, who was kicked to the ground, was stunned. He had never seen Duan Tianyang like this.
