Chapter 212 Slaying Yuan Shikai
Chen Wen didn't waste any words and moved again!
Gripping the heavy 69-pound sword tightly, he charged into the densest part of the crowd like a tiger bursting from its cage!
The swordsmanship unfolds with wide, sweeping strokes, powerful and heavy!
"A powerful, head-on cleaving blade!"
The broadsword, with a dull whistling sound, cleaved down towards a Blue Lantern leader who was charging at them wielding an iron ruler.
The man hurriedly raised his iron ruler to block, but with a loud clang, the ruler was bent and slipped from his hand.
The blade, still sharp, struck his shoulder, the sound of bones shattering clearly audible. The man screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground.
"A downward, horizontal swing to strike the waist!"
Chen Wen flipped his wrist, changing the blade's momentum from a slash to a sweep, the heavy blade swinging horizontally like a door panel.
Three Qing soldiers who charged side by side were unable to dodge in time and were struck squarely in the waist by the blade. They were hit as if by a heavy blow, spitting out blood and tumbling to the ground like gourds.
"With the wind at your back, autumn leaves are swept away!"
Using the momentum of the horizontal swing, Chen Wen spun around, his broadsword drawing a huge arc, the wind whistling as it enveloped the five or six Blue Lanterns and soldiers who were trying to launch a sneak attack from the side!
Those men only felt a gust of wind rushing towards them, and before they could react, they were struck or swept by the blades, their tendons and bones broken, and they were sent flying backward.
"A sweeping attack leaves no enemy unscathed!"
Before the sword strike was over, Chen Wen, with his waist and stance as one, channeled his power and swept the broadsword across once more.
The range was wider and the force was greater! Seven or eight more people screamed as they were swept down, like fallen leaves caught in a gust of wind.
"A leap of seduction, swift as lightning!"
He took a step forward, and with a sharp upward flick of his blade, a Qing soldier wielding a spear felt his hand snap open, and the spear flew out of his hand and into the air.
Immediately afterwards, he was struck hard in the chest by the end of the knife hilt, and his vision went black as he lost consciousness.
"A series of rapid, downward-sloping cuts!"
The broadsword moved with extraordinary agility in his hands, combining power and skill with finesse. Two swift downward and diagonal slashes precisely struck the wrists of the two Blue Lantern Swordsmen, causing them to fall and be wounded.
"Quickly take the left and right defenses!"
Facing spear tips thrusting from both sides simultaneously.
Chen Wen neither dodged nor evaded, but quickly slashed left and right with his broadsword. With two sharp cracks, the spear tilted, and the spearman staggered and fell due to the force of the blade.
"Shift and change form with a thrusting dagger!"
With the final step, the blade's momentum abruptly shifted from sweeping to thrusting.
The blade struck the breastplate of the last officer who was trying to resist like a hammer!
The officer was struck as if by a battering ram; his sternum caved in, blood gushed out, and he flew several feet backward, crashing into a vendor's wooden cart before finally collapsing and never getting up again.
Eight swift, decisive strikes!
Wherever it passed, it swept away fallen leaves like a whirlwind, or crushed wheat straw like a giant wheel.
Neither the fierce Blue Lanterns nor the elite officers and soldiers could withstand a single blow from him!
Wherever the blade strikes, bones break and tendons snap; wherever the wind of the blade blows, men and horses fall!
Screams and wails filled the air as the street, which had been ravaged by fierce fighting just moments before, was quickly cleared out, with a large area centered around Chen Wen!
The fallen Blue Lantern and the soldiers rolled and groaned on the ground, completely incapacitated.
Tan Sitong was stunned, forgetting to put down the knife he had picked up.
He knew Chen Wenwu was highly skilled, but he never imagined he was this skilled!
This isn't just good martial arts, it's practically a match for ten thousand men! It's terrifying!
Wang Wu, standing at the end of the street, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his eyes filled with shock.
He had long known that the Blood Flag Army commander who had come to his door was no ordinary man.
Their strength must be exceptional.
But witnessing this overwhelming power firsthand still exceeded his expectations.
What bothered him even more was...
The swordsmanship Chen Wen displayed—that simple, direct style designed specifically for breaking through enemy formations and killing enemies—felt vaguely familiar to him.
This momentarily stunned him.
Jiu Jin's mouth dropped open, and he nearly dropped the knife in his hand. He muttered, "My God—that's incredible?!"
Liang Kuan was filled with pride, puffed out his chest, and said proudly, "Of course! This is our teacher!"
On the other side...
Yuan Shikai's expression had completely changed.
He originally thought he had just encountered a few meddlesome martial arts masters, but the terrifying strength of the man wielding the knife in front of him completely overturned his understanding!
Such skill was something he had never seen more than five times in his entire life!
How could such a small border town harbor such a person?
However, before he could think about it further, something even more terrifying happened.
After Chen Wen killed the last few troublesome guys around him, he finished them off.
With a swift turn of the blade, those eyes locked onto him through the chaotic crowd!
Alarm bells rang in Yuan Shikai's mind. Almost instinctively, he slipped and darted to the side and rear, trying to hide behind several of his personal guards.
But as soon as he moved, Chen Wen moved too!
Moreover, the direction they were moving was clearly towards him!
Whether by coincidence or premeditated, his dodge route seemed to have landed him right within the opponent's attack range.
"Protect Lord Yuan!"
A loyal bodyguard, brandishing his sword, roared as he charged forward.
Chen Wen didn't even look, and casually swung his broadsword.
With a clang, the guard's saber broke in two, and the force from the blade sent him spitting blood and staggering backward.
The blade moved almost without hindrance, cutting through the broken blade and the spray of blood mist.
With an unstoppable, domineering will, it slashed down on the panicked Yuan Shikai!
"not good!"
Yuan Shikai was terrified!
The heavy, blunt sword, yet carrying terrifying force, was about to fall upon them.
He didn't have time to think. Almost instinctively, he grabbed the red-tasseled spear, gripped it tightly with both hands, gritted his teeth, and fought back against the blade!
clang!
A piercing clang of metal clashing rang out, sparks flying everywhere!
Yuan Shikai felt a violent tremor in his arms, his tiger's mouth split open, and blood instantly stained the gun barrel.
The force from that knife was beyond his imagination; he barely managed to block it with all his might, and staggered back seven or eight steps.
His back slammed heavily against the earthen wall, causing the plaster to flake off.
It felt as if my internal organs had shifted, my blood and qi were churning, and my vision was blurring.
He was horrified.
It is said that an inch longer is an inch stronger, and the spear is the king of all weapons, but in front of this person, my spear skills are completely useless!
The opponent didn't give him a chance to create distance.
After slashing down with his sword, he followed closely behind like a shadow, the heavy sword as light as a willow leaf in his hands.
Whether slashing, sweeping, or slapping, the moves are simple and direct, yet each strike is as heavy as a mountain.
He was forced to parry and retreat in a disheveled state, completely powerless to fight back!
All the dazzling spear techniques and exquisite moves became a joke under the overwhelming power and speed!
A few breaths.
Yuan Shikai's official robes were torn to shreds by the wind, becoming tattered strips of cloth hanging on his body.
His cheeks were also scraped and bleeding from the force of the blade, leaving him in a very sorry state.
Deputy Commander Tao An was extremely anxious and, disregarding the danger, shouted loudly, "Stop, brave warrior! It's a misunderstanding! That's our Commander Yuan of the Land Battalion! He's not a rebel!"
But Chen Wen seemed not to hear, his sword strikes remaining sharp and relentless.
Yuan Shikai was driven to the brink of despair when he caught a glimpse of a trembling commoner beside him out of the corner of his eye.
In his haste, he didn't care about anything else and suddenly dodged to the side, pulling the civilian in front of him to use as a shield!
Almost simultaneously.
Chen Wen's next attack is imminent!
The broadsword, accompanied by a whistling sound, slashed straight down!
It looked like they were about to strike down the innocent civilian along with Yuan Shikai behind him!
"stop!"
"Brother Chen, you mustn't!"
