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

When two enemies meet on a narrow road, there is no need to say much, the only thing to do is to fight hard.

Duan Tianyang was seriously injured and his physical strength had reached its limit. The long sword in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and every swing of the sword overdrew his physical strength.

At the end of the battle, his body seemed to have lost consciousness, with only the mechanical movement of swinging the sword remaining.

If the enemy stabs with a spear, he will draw his sword; if the enemy swings his sword, he will also use his sword.

It was this indomitable spirit that allowed Duan Tianyang to finally break through the siege of the Jin army.

At this time, the Hongxing Army that broke out with him was less than a hundred people, and suffered heavy casualties.

The night was as dark as ink, and there was a vast forest ahead. Duan Tianyang said without hesitation: "Brothers, follow me into the forest!"

They marched quickly in front, with the Jin army chasing closely behind. What was even more terrifying was that the Jin army's firearms soldiers also joined the pursuit. The sounds of firearms and guns rang out one after another. People in the Hongxing army were constantly shot and fell down, unable to stand up. They could only allow themselves to be ruthlessly slaughtered by the Jin soldiers who followed.

Seeing his brothers fall one by one, Duan Tianyang felt heartbroken. He howled to the sky, stopped, turned around to face the pursuers, clenched his sword with both hands, and shouted angrily: "Fuck your mothers, Duan Tianyang is here, if you want to kill me, just come at me!"

The Jin army did not expect Duan Tianyang to stay behind to cover their retreat. They thought he had run away with Yi Shuirou. That was why they came out in full force to pursue the remnants of Yi Shuirou.

Upon hearing Duan Tianyang's name, the Jin army soldiers were stunned at first, then burst into deafening roars and rushed towards him one by one.

Facing the spear stabbing at his heart, Duan Tianyang not only did not dodge or evade, but instead swung the long sword in his hand. With a flash of cold light, the spear collided with the armor, bursting out dazzling sparks, and his counterattack was a fatal blow, and the enemy's head fell off.

The Jin army's offensive did not weaken because of this, but became more fierce. Duan Tianyang was surrounded, and several Jin soldiers fell one after another in the swordplay.

Just as he was fighting bloody battles, a crisis suddenly appeared from the side. A steel bullet whizzed over and hit his head armor accurately with a crisp "pop" sound.

Duan Tianyang's body swayed slightly, blood oozed out from the gaps in his broken armor, and his consciousness blurred in an instant. In this half second between life and death, several spears had mercilessly stabbed into his body.

Duan Tianyang came to his senses, swept his black sword across, and released a storm of sharp blades, knocking down the surrounding enemies one by one.

Then, he rushed towards the Jin soldier who was using firearms like lightning, grabbed his throat, and rushed into the depths of the dense forest with him.

After entering the forest, Duan Tianyang threw the prisoner in his hand heavily to the ground, and then he leaned against a big tree and slowly sat down as if he had exhausted all his strength.

At this moment, the Hongxing Army hiding behind the trees appeared one after another. Holding crossbows, they launched intensive shooting at the pursuers.

Arrows rained down like rain, and the Jin soldiers fell one after another. Seeing this, the remaining enemies did not dare to chase them rashly. At the same time, the news that Duan Tianyang was here was also passed back to the Jin camp.

"Sir, are you...are you okay?" The soldiers of the Hongxing Army gathered around him, their concern evident in their words.

Although Duan Tianyang was seriously injured, his eyes remained firm. He shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine.

Only he himself knew that at this moment he no longer had the strength to speak.

Blood flowed from his forehead, staining his eyes and dyeing everything around him blood red.

He panted for a long time, used his long sword as a stick, struggled to support his shaky body, and staggered towards the captured Jin soldier.

He asked in a deep voice: "Where did the muskets and cannons in your hands come from?"

The Jin soldier sat on the ground, his eyes wide open, and responded to Duan Tianyang with gnashed teeth: "Duan Tianyang, you can't escape..."

Before he could finish his words, Duan Tianyang's long sword had already pierced into his shoulder like lightning. The Jin soldier's body shook and his face twisted in pain.

Duan Tianyang pressed again: "Tell me where the firearms came from! Also, why didn't you use them during the battle at Mucheng?"

The Jin soldier struggled in severe pain, sweating profusely, but still gritted his teeth and refused to reveal a word.

Duan Tianyang saw this and slowly turned the long sword in his hand. The Jin soldier could no longer bear it and let out a heart-wrenching scream, almost fainting.

"It was secretly developed by our monarch, and it's called the Fire Tube Gun!" The Jin soldier screamed in despair, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "Ah--" he panted and continued, "The reason why we didn't use it in Mucheng is because the Fire Tube Gun has been hidden in Jinling Town..."

As soon as these words came out, Duan Tianyang's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and there was a roar.

He recalled that Zheng Guang had strongly advocated burning down Jinling Town to prevent future troubles, but he rejected his idea with a long-term perspective.

Now, the Jin army is using this hidden firearm to severely damage the Hongxing army, and he is undoubtedly the driving force behind this tragedy.

He regretted that he had failed to foresee the catastrophe of today due to his momentary lapse of judgment; he felt sad for the thousands of brothers who had died because of him.

Duan Tianyang's heart seemed to be torn apart at this moment. He suddenly drew out his long sword, and with a wave of his hand, the Jin soldier's head fell off, and blood splattered.

He trembled as he inserted the long knife into the ground, supporting himself from falling, and muttered to himself: "It turns out that today's disaster is all because of me..."

It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world. No matter how much regret there is, it cannot bring back the lost lives and opportunities.

The Hongxing Army around were all stunned when they saw this scene. They looked at Duan Tianyang's tired and complicated eyes, their hearts full of confusion.

A soldier from the Hongxing Army slowly stepped forward, his voice full of respect: "We followed you to the Jin Kingdom voluntarily, without any coercion. Please don't blame yourself too much for today's setback."

"That's right, sir! Our failure did not stem from our lack of fighting power, but from the cunning hidden weapons of the Jin people. In the future, we still need your leadership to regroup and avenge our previous defeat!" The other soldiers echoed and spoke sincerely.

Duan Tianyang felt even more heartbroken upon hearing this. His self-blame and guilt were intertwined into an indescribable web.

He looked at these brave and admirable brothers in front of him, and endless self-blame surged in his heart...

He stared down at the cold sword in his hand, and even had a moment of determination, wanting to commit suicide by slashing his own throat to get rid of the heavy guilt.

But reason told him that death would not solve the problem, but would make the Jin people even more unscrupulous, and the realm of the gods would fall into a deeper crisis.

At this moment, the horns of the Jin army outside the forest sounded again. Unlike the previous scattered attack, this time they came in formation, with heavy shield soldiers in front, firearms soldiers following closely behind, and spearmen in the rear. Their steps were uniform and their momentum was fierce.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The deafening shouts of killing pierced through the forest, shaking everyone's heartstrings.

Duan Tianyang suddenly raised his head and said to the people around him in a deep voice: "You guys run quickly, I'll cover you!"
