Chapter 127 - 127 Taking a Breather
127 Taking a Breather
Qin Huai’s killing spree continued. As his experience and qi and blood increased bit by bit, he didn’t feel tired at all. Instead, he became more energetic.
“The increase in vitality soothed my fatigue, and the lasting effect of the eternal breath technique is also working. Also, the golden blood is helping…”
At this moment, Qin Huai could clearly feel the benefits of cultivating multiple cultivation techniques at the same time. This was especially true for cultivation techniques with excellent compatibility.
The long breath technique and the blood heart technique were very similar in a sense.
If Qin Huai was only given a narrow alley to deal with the attacks of demons below the third refinement, even if there were occasional fourth or fifth refinements, he felt that he could hold on for a few days and nights by himself.
He didn’t walk far, only about twenty meters.
The rolling wood and rocks on both sides of him continued to roll down, helping Qin Huai clear the obstacles around him to prevent him from being surrounded by demons.
Qin Huai had always been on the front line. He fought from morning to noon without stopping.
His astonishing endurance stunned all the senior and junior brothers behind him, including the wolf battalion that Sun Tong had brought.
“General, is there really a chance for us to fight in this Pine Peak Pass?” The adjutant adjusted his helmet and was dumbfounded.
“How would I know?” Sun Tong glared at the adjutant beside him. “However, Grandmaster Qin’s strength is indeed something that ordinary people like us can’t fathom.”
“To tell you the truth, General, I feel a little guilty eating the flatbread in my hand. You didn’t even put in any effort.” The Adjutant felt a little guilty as he ate the biscuit in his hand.
“If you don’t want to eat it, give it to someone else!” Sun Tong knocked on the Adjutant’s head.
This attracted the attention of the disciples of the Changshan Dojo who were pushing the rolling stones.
Both groups of people looked a little lost and embarrassed. No one had expected that the first day of facing the demons would be so easy.
They even felt a little pleased…
Anyway, there was no tragedy. The battle continued all the way until the afternoon before the wave of attacks from the demons finally stopped.
Countless demons retreated to the forest one li away from the entrance of Pine Peak and went into hiding.
Buzzzzzz!
The disciples of the Changshan Dojo and the soldiers of the wolf battalion instantly tensed up. Their expressions were solemn as they looked at the figure walking toward them.
Admiration, respect, fear…
Under the cold flames of the harsh winter, it was as if a downpour of blood had gathered at his feet, dyeing his face and clothes red.
It was tragic and intense.
However, on that handsome face, there was always an excited smile that made people feel a little scared.
“S-Senior Brother, eat some…” Li Zhang trembled as he handed over the biscuit.
“Many thanks.” Qin Huai was all smiles.
In just one day, his long breath technique had increased by more than 7,000 points, which was more than 7,000 points from the fifth refinement.
If he were to collect the dojo’s experience step by step, it would take more than a month. His vitality had also increased to 74.5 points, an increase of one point.
The speed at which it increased was shocking. If he could kill all the demons at the entrance of the mountain, he might even have a chance to break through to the sixth refinement.
“I don’t think the demons stopped attacking because they want to change their path, but because the great demon is trying to find a way to break it.” Sun Yuanshan sat beside Qin Huai. He looked happy, but he could not hide his worry.
“Yes, I once met a demon in a village in the mountains. He knew how to poison me with a scheme. It’s just that it can’t be spoken. The intelligence of a demon is not low.” Qin Huai was also serious. This short retreat was only the calm before the storm.
“How much rolling wood and stones do we still have left?”
“There’s only twenty to thirty percent left.. I’ve killed more than two hundred demons. It’s worth it…” Qi Yangbing didn’t look too good either, because he knew that they were about to fight hand-to-hand.
The joy on Qin Huai’s face faded away. Following that, the fellow disciples around him would continue to die, using their lives to block the entrance to Pine Peak.
“There are about a thousand demons at the entrance. Now, there should be less than eight hundred left. On the other hand, we have five hundred men from our dojo and three hundred men from the wolf battalion, so it shouldn’t be a problem to guard this place.” Rong Li was also analyzing the situation.
“But if the other dojos want to defend it, they might have to pay a huge price.”
“However, the most dangerous place is still the city lord’s mansion on Pingnan Avenue. It’s said that thousands of demons and monsters are gathered there. The city lord’s mansion can only rely on the city walls.”
Whether it was the entrance to Pine Peak or the other seven important locations, all of them had their backs to Pingnan City.
On one side of Pingnan City, there were some steep paths leading to the mountains. Therefore, the number of demons was relatively small.
The only flat road was the front of Pingnan Avenue.
“Three days. In just three days, there will be a large group of reinforcements.”
Everyone began to gobble up the flatbread and then eat the snow to satisfy their hunger.
They waited until the sun set and the moon rose. Only then did the demons move again.
“Fire!” Sun Yuanshan waved his sleeve.
The people behind him immediately poured out all their assets.
Boom…
The sound of rolling wood and stones dissipated in the dark night at the entrance of Pine Peak.
The disciples and apprentices of the Changshan Dojo were all wearing armor and holding spears, and they formed a line with the three hundred soldiers of the wolf battalion.
“Split up. First row, raise your shields. The spears at the back will be thrust out from the gaps of the shields. No matter if the spear strikes or not, the person must be replaced. Take turns with quick stabs. Don’t give the demons any chance!” Qin Huai roared as he finished setting up the formation.
The first row of soldiers holding heavy shields that were as tall as two men were all soldiers of the wolf battalion.
Many of the people holding spears behind them were third refinement martial artists and apprentices of the Changshan Dojo. Their long spears were positioned at the top and bottom, combining the real and the fake.
