Looking at Qing Yaoyin who appeared outside the insect formation, Tantai Guanjian's eyes were instantly filled with countless complex emotions.
He knew that Qing Yaoyin had been living in this dense land for more than ten years, but this dense land located in the underground plain of Motian Peak was so huge that even he didn't know exactly where Qing Yaoyin lived, and he already had I haven't seen Qing Yaoyin for more than ten years.
Practitioners have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, but more than ten years is already a long time for a practitioner.
Jing Liuli is different from Tantai Guanjian, this kind of sword will come from her hand, she has naturally seen this uncle who lives in seclusion in this dense land before, but the emotions in her eyes are also complicated at the moment .
Because she knew very well that Qing Yaoyin would never show up in this sword meeting.
When Qing Yaoyin appeared, she and many people on the high cliff above Tantai Guanjian leaned out.
Most of the masters from the practice areas who came to watch the sword meeting, as well as some nobles in the court, the Minshan Sword Sect will naturally let them see the whole process of the sword meeting, but seeing does not necessarily mean seeing all the details clearly. So their positions naturally cannot be compared with Jing Liuli and Tantai Guanjian.
Looking down from where they were, whether it was Qing Yaoyin, Ding Ning, or the rest of the candidates, they were all as small as ants.
If it wasn't for the fact that sometimes the broken sword in Ding Ning's hand would suddenly shine brightly due to the infusion of true energy, it would be difficult for the people above to see his sword clearly, and the scene of the emperor worms falling around Ding Ning would be even more apparent. as weird.
…
In the eyes of Jing Liuli and Tantai Guanjian, Ding Ning's use of the sword has a feeling that it has changed from jerky to smoother, but only Ding Ning himself knows that this process is just a deliberate disguise.
This kind of charge in battle formation, he has experience that is unimaginable for practitioners like Jing Liuli and Tantai Guanjian, but no matter what experience he has, this kind of charge without breathing in the battle formation for a moment is very difficult for his physical strength and spirit. The consumption is extremely huge.
His breathing became hotter and hotter, and the heat between his chest and lungs seemed to be on fire, but the air that poured into his chest had an extremely sticky smell of blood, making it even more difficult for people to breathe.
However, Ding Ning's face was still extremely calm. He could be sure that the person who appeared was Qing Yaoyin... Even if Qing Yaoyin was just watching, he would definitely kill all the remaining emperor insects before his physical strength was completely exhausted.
So his sword is still calm and perfect, harvesting the lives of the emperor insects that surged up around him at a very high speed.
Qing Yaoyin's face was completely covered by the tangled beard and hair, and no expression could be seen, but every time Ding Ning stabbed with his sword, his eyes flickered violently.
In his eyes, the sword in Ding Ning's hand seemed to be completely separated from Ding Ning's body.
In his feeling, it seems that how difficult Ding Ning's breathing is and how exhausted Ding Ning's body is has nothing to do with the sword in Ding Ning's hand.
His eyes became more and more puzzled, angry and bewildered.
The corpses of the emperor worm piled up more and more.
Even from such a long distance, he could see that the stream in front of him had turned blue and turbid.
Seeing the emperor worms becoming more and more sparse in front of him, he became more and more unbearable.
As if echoing his unbearable, the broken sword in Ding Ning's hand made a loud noise.
An emperor worm that flew down from the air did not stabilize when it landed, and its body shook violently, so that Ding Ning's sword did not directly cut into the weak part of its lower jaw, but cut on the hard carapace .
However, with the help of this shock, the broken sword in Ding Ning's hand split several strands along the crack. With the steady infusion of true energy, several strands of the sword pierced the emperor worm and the other two ends in front of it respectively. The body of the emperor worm.
The three emperor worms were severely injured but did not die. After suffering the pain, they jumped out violently. There was a series of bangs and bangs in an instant, and several more emperor worms were knocked to the ground.
"enough!"
Qing Yaoyin finally couldn't bear it at all, and let out a sharp shout.
Yet the battle continued.
These emperor worms couldn't understand his words at all, and Ding Ning in the emperor worm formation naturally couldn't stop, adding many holes to his body.
The anger in Qing Yaoyin's eyes seemed to be burning.
He also realized his mistake, and a bright red piccolo appeared in his hand.
With the injection of true essence between his fingers, many ripples visible to the naked eye appeared in the air around the bright red piccolo, and it seemed that there was no sound. However, at the next moment, all the emperor worms and black frost worms were suddenly frozen. She froze, and then her body trembled violently.
Then all the living emperor insects began to retreat like a tide.
They are tall and tall. When they came, their heads and backs towered above the thorn bushes. However, when they retreated, their bodies were lying on the ground in fear. There was no faint blue luster revealed, only the dark red thorns. Countless waves formed in the cluster and spread out into the distance.
All the mysterious frost insects did not move.
When all the emperor insects retreated, a terrifying sword intent had already reached above them.
It was like an invisible big sword slamming down from above.
The ground trembled violently, and there were countless tiny cracking sounds from their bodies, and groups of broken flesh and blood gushed out of their mouths.
Except for the Xuanshuang insect that Ding Ning held in his hand, all the remaining Xuanshuang insects died.
On the high cliff, many of the practitioners of the Sword Watching Society, who were as small as ants, couldn't help taking a step back.
Qing Yaoyin is not a strong swordsman in the Minshan Sword Sect, but even so, the power of this sword is already rare in the world.
"Do you need to stop him?"
Seeing Qing Yaoyin's attack, Tantai Guanjian turned to look at Jing Liuli and asked solemnly.
Jing Liuli shook her head without any hesitation, and said, "No need."
Ding Ning walked out of the emperor worm's corpse heaving heavily, and as his footsteps fell, patches of sticky blue-yellow blood spattered.
"How could this be?"
Seeing Ding Ning's figure stepping out of the pile of corpses like climbing a wall, Qing Yaoyin didn't make any self-introduction, but just uttered this sentence angrily, before his voice fell, his figure had already appeared in Ding Ning's Not far away.
Ding Ning didn't answer Qing Yaoyin's words for a moment, but panted violently while saluting.
"A practitioner of any rank under the seventh realm, even in the face of an army composed of the lowest rank of practitioners and sword masters, is no match for hundreds of troops. This is recorded in many practice books, even if yours The teacher didn't teach you, and you will definitely see it in the practice books, don't you even know the basic truth?" Qing Yaoyin looked at Ding Ning angrily, and said without stopping: "I these emperors The number of them is several times that of hundreds. Why didn't you run away from the beginning, instead you wanted to fight these emperor insects? Could it be that you are blind? Even if you are blind, you can easily perceive these emperor insects Surrounded by vigor!"
Many people may not understand Qing Yaoyin's anger at this time.
Especially when a powerful legendary figure like Qing Yaoyin is angry, many kinds of terrifying auras will naturally flow from his body, putting unimaginable pressure on ordinary practitioners.
However, Ding Ning just looked at him, and calmly replied: "Although these zergs look like an army, they are not an army after all."
"What does it mean to be like an army but not an army after all?"
Qing Yao sternly said: "Even if it is a tiger and wolf rider, it is impossible for everyone to be a practitioner."
Ding Ning took a breath, shook his head, and said, "It has nothing to do with individual combat power. There is something called sacrifice in the army."
Qing Yaoyin hesitated slightly.
Ding Ning continued, "These insects seem to be from your hands. In all fairness, their fighting methods are infinitely close to those of cavalry and practitioners. However, after all, they can only attack by normal means, not Voluntary sacrifice, but the army is different. In order to cause fatal damage to a powerful practitioner, the army may resolutely launch some kind of ordnance, regardless of the lives of hundreds of soldiers surrounding that practitioner. Soldiers who follow practitioners will also make resolute sacrifices."
It is naturally impossible for Qing Yaoyin to understand these principles.
In addition to Ding Ning's example, he himself could even list countless sacrifices he made to besiege and kill practitioners.
He just didn't want to understand these reasons under the momentary anger.
His anger subsided a little.
Then he looked directly at Ding Ning and asked the most critical question: "Even if you feel that these emperor insects are different from the real army, and you are confident that you can fight to kill all these emperor insects... But the key is, why did you do this in the first place?" Why did you choose not to kill the Xuanshuang worms and want to fight to kill all these emperor worms?"
"Because it's a strange chain."
Ding Ning raised his head slightly, looked straight into his eyes, and said slowly and clearly: "Before entering this sea of thorns, Senior Geng Ren explained to us that this is a competition that will cause us serious injuries and exhaustion. , and the power of the Black Frost Worm is not enough to pose a threat to many selected students, and I am afraid it cannot cause many selected students to be injured."
"The Mystic Frost Worm was originally a thing that had mutated in front of us, so I was sure that even if I escaped while riding the Mystic Frost Worm, or stayed and killed all the Mystic Frost Worms, it would definitely trigger another down the ring."
"These mysterious frost insects may become the food of these emperor insects, and these emperor insects will mutate or become a link in the next evolution process. In the end, what I have to face must be enough to make me extremely tired. It even caused me serious injuries, and it may even make me withdraw from this competition."
"So for me, if I want to prevent such a thing from happening, I can only try to break one of the links. Only by completely breaking one of the links, so that a series of chains cannot be opened smoothly, can I use Complete this competition with the smallest cost."
During Ding Ning's slow and clear narration, Qing Yaoyin became more and more shocked and became more and more silent.
"You're doing the right thing."
After being silent for dozens of breaths, he took a deep breath, looked at Ding Ning and said.
