Chapter 275: The War God

A dim corridor, one person, one cat, one knife.

The *Tian Ce* Army armored soldiers in the corridor silently watched Chen Ji, and also the dark cloud on his shoulder, for a moment suspicious and uncertain. Just now, when that dazzling sword light chopped down from the crossbeam, they all thought a *xing guan* was hiding on the crossbeam, but they didn't expect it was actually a black cat.

How could it be a cat? How could a cat chop out sword *qi*?

Xiao Man stared blankly at the dark cloud, murmuring, "Young master, the dark cloud has become a spirit..."

The dark cloud glanced at her, and then its ice-cold gaze swept around, finally fixed on the armored soldier holding the heavy sword! It let out a soft meow: "Be careful, he's very formidable!"

Chen Ji panted without speaking. Anyone who could lead troops to capture a live prince was certainly very formidable! Only he didn't expect that he and the dark cloud had waited this long, waited for the best opportunity, yet still couldn't kill the opponent!

At this moment, the heavy sword armored soldier opened his mouth and said, "This little animal..."

The dark cloud, squatting on Chen Ji's shoulder, meowed! The heavy sword armored soldier frowned, he clearly felt this black cat was speaking to him: "What is this little animal saying?"

Chen Ji said calmly, "It says, call it the Nine Heavens Responding Yuan Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable."

The next moment, the dark cloud lightly leaped back onto another crossbeam, killing to the left. Chen Ji swung his whale knife horizontally at the heavy sword armored soldier, killing to the right!

When the whale knife chopped out, the heavy sword armored soldier lifted his sword to block, but the expected sound of metal clashing didn't ring out! Chen Ji feigned an attack, and in the instant the armored soldier blocked, he leaped, stepping on the wall to borrow force, and jumped over the armored soldier's head, killing towards the *Tian Ce* Army armored soldiers behind him.

The heavy sword armored soldier slashed upwards with a backhand, but the whale knife was as if it had been waiting there all along. This one slash instead sent Chen Ji even further away. One person, one cat were silently in sync. Xiao Man looked left and right, and no one discussed with her what to do. She hesitated for a moment, finally choosing to avoid the heavy sword armored soldier and go find the dark cloud.

Xiao Man killed from the corridor, and the dark cloud launched a sneak attack from above, actually cooperating exceptionally well! The angle of the sword light falling from the crossbeam was treacherous. For a time, it killed the *Tian Ce* Army armored soldiers, leaving them at a loss. Some *seng bing* stepped on their comrades' shoulders and pounced towards the crossbeam. He grabbed the wooden beam with one hand and observed left and right, searching for the dark cloud's trace!

But as soon as he turned his head, what came towards his face was a sharp crescent moon-like sword light! The *seng bing* grabbed the house beam with his left hand and chopped the sword light into pieces with the knife in his right hand. His gaze continued to search for the dark cloud, but the house beam was dim without light. The dark cloud was so black that it didn't reflect even a point of light. He actually couldn't find where the dark cloud was. The *seng bing*'s heart sank. This black cat was actually a born assassin.

He turned back, intending to jump back to the corridor, but this turn back saw that the dark cloud had come to the house beam he was grabbing at some point, just lowering its head and watching him, without a sound! The dark cloud lifted a claw and a knife flashed over. The *seng bing*'s body and head separated, and he fell down from the house beam, scaring Xiao Man in the corridor who jumped!

Among the black mass of people, Chen Ji held the whale knife and fought, only this five feet five inches whale knife was too clumsy. In the narrow space, it was difficult to wield. He saw him backhand a knife, nailing a *Tian Ce* Army soldier to the wall, and then he drew out the dagger tied to the other side's waist!

A *Tian Ce* Army armored soldier swung his knife and chopped over. Chen Ji stepped forward, grabbed the other side's wrist, and the knife blade cut over the other side's hand tendon! The *Tian Ce* Army armored soldier's hand went numb, and the *pu dao* he held fell to the ground!

Without waiting for the other side to react, Chen Ji grabbed his wrist, pulling closer, and the dagger in his hand was like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, continuously stabbing. The first stab pierced the heart, and the second stab pierced the throat! Until this time, the fallen *pu dao* still hadn't landed! Chen Ji lifted his foot and kicked, kicking the knife handle without missing! With a whoosh, the *pu dao* shot out, stabbing straight into the abdomen of a *Tian Ce* Army armored soldier!

The *Tian Ce* Army armored soldiers shuddered in their hearts. They didn't expect the dagger in Chen Ji's hand to be so lively. Compared to it, the *pu dao* in their own hands also seemed clumsy! Chen Ji again grabbed a *Tian Ce* Army armored soldier, clamped the other side's neck while retreating, and used the dagger in his hand to stab the other side's back waist and spleen, silently observing everyone!

The heavy sword armored soldier saw Chen Ji avoiding him, and let out a cold laugh: "Human power has its limits, the hand gripping the knife has already begun to tremble, and your steps are no longer steady. How long can you hold on?"

Sweat beads dripped from his chin. Chen Ji panted and said, "As long as I can hold on, I'll hold on!"

Saying that, he pushed the armored soldier in his hand and turned around to kill again. The iron tower-like armored soldier dragged the heavy sword and walked towards Chen Ji, but Chen Ji retreated while fighting among the black mass of people, getting further and further away from him. The heavy sword armored soldier wasn't anxious, instead he patiently waited for Chen Ji to be exhausted!

Heartbeat! Chen Ji's heart was like a violently beating drum, pumping out blood that made a rustling sound in his brain!

Breathing! Chen Ji's lungs inhaled too much ice-cold air, emitting a stinging pain!

He forgot how many people he had killed today, only remembering that it seemed he was always killing, from noon all the way until the sun set in the west! The sunset projected into the corridor from the doors and windows of the scattered guest rooms. Inside the corridor, there was a section of light and a section of darkness. Chen Ji retreated while killing in this light and shadow, his body sometimes glorious, sometimes dim!

In this alternating light and dark, Chen Ji became increasingly tired, his movements increasingly slow, only able to block left and parry right to obstruct attacks, no way to counterattack and kill people anymore. Or maybe I should just sleep? If I sleep, everything will be over!

He once thought that no matter when, he could clearly calculate every knife! Angle, speed, force, every knife didn't differ by a bit, doing his best! Just like when he was studying, the teachers repeatedly instructed, the first grade is very important, the second grade is very important, the third grade is very important, the fourth grade is very important! As if every step in life was very important, every step couldn't be wrong!

Liang Gou Er saw him use a knife and said that he wasn't suitable for practicing knives, but what was the way of the knife? Liang Gou Er said, when you want to protect yourself, you have already given up your knife!

The next moment, Chen Ji roared, took a knife to his leg, and flipped the dagger in his hand to stab the person who swung the knife. He exchanged injury for life. He fought out his last strength in the corridor, muddled, stumbling, exchanging seven wounds for three lives!

The *Tian Ce* Army armored soldiers only felt that Chen Ji at this time was like a mad dog, his whole body full of flaws, but none of those flaws could be chopped. If they chopped, they would die! The heavy sword armored soldier saw his subordinates hesitate, and said angrily: "This is just scared stiff, trash, make way."

The *Tian Ce* Army armored soldiers made way to both sides, and saw him taking heavy steps, swinging the heavy sword high, chopping at Chen Ji from five steps away! A sword light suddenly appeared, passing through the gap in the crowd, like the howling wind between canyons. In a hurry, Chen Ji pulled a *Tian Ce* Army armored soldier to block in front of him. With a boom, he, together with the armored soldier he pulled, were chopped and flew out, falling to the floor!

Chen Ji pushed away the armored soldier's corpse pressing on his body, turned his head and coughed out a mouthful of blood! Sword *qi* surged, this one sword actually injured his lungs through the human shield! The iron tower-like armored soldier dragged the heavy sword and walked over. Chen Ji ignored the pain in his body, supported himself and staggered backwards to run! But this corridor was a circle. Running and running, he saw Xiao Man's figure fighting with people, and also his whale knife nailed to the wall! Like a star turning around with nowhere to escape, back to the original point!

Chen Ji suddenly stopped his steps, his fingers stroking the handle of the whale knife. He was going to die! While thinking, the heavy sword armored soldier swung up another sword! Just as he raised the heavy sword over his head, the sword seed in Chen Ji's *ming dian* suddenly became violent. When the heavy sword fell, the sword seed buzzed out, sticking to the wall surface and attacking the armored soldier! Chen Ji suddenly drew out the whale knife on the wall, held the handle with one hand, and pressed the back of the knife with the other hand, standing in front of himself, enduring the manic sword wind!

With a boom, Chen Ji flew backwards out again, unable to crawl up! But several steps away, a muffled hum came from the heavy sword armored soldier. The heavy sword armored soldier lowered his head and looked at his own shoulder socket. Blood flowed like a stream! If he hadn't flashed quickly, he was afraid this one sword would have pierced his heart, but just now that was... A sword seed.

Indeed, it was a *Wu Miao* sword seed. He hadn't guessed wrong earlier in the main hall. The heavy sword armored soldier looked at Chen Ji with astonishment: "Who are you?"

Chen Ji lay on the ground, staring blankly at the roof: "Who am I?!"

He actually couldn't answer for a moment! He was Chen Ji, a high school student who mistakenly entered this world, who stumbled into becoming a *xing guan*, and then came to *Gu Yuan* in a daze. But this answer didn't seem right. *Xuan Yuan* was once his friend, *Feng Huai* and *Feng Lie* once called him teacher, someone exhausted their efforts to smuggle him down from the forty-nine heavy heavens, how could he just be a high school student? But who exactly was he?

Chen Ji suddenly felt a searing pain in his waist, like lava sticking to his waist and flowing, burning his skin, branding a totem. The rolling hot molten flow in his *ming dian* was finally unrestrained, flowing towards his limbs and bones! The wounds on his body that were visible to the naked eye closed one by one, leaving only shallow scars. His pale face instantly became ruddy, and he had the strength of blood color again! The lost strength was filled again. Originally, one *ming dian* was one life!

Chen Ji also supported himself with the whale knife and slowly straightened his body! The heavy sword armored soldier asked fiercely again: "Who exactly are you? How can you have the way of the sword seed?"

Chen Ji didn't answer, and fell into thought again, only the sound of blood flowing inside dimly shouting, boiling, Who am I?

Heaven and earth were born with me, all things are unique with me.

He is the mountain lord. He is also the world's soldier master! Exert martial prowess, ten thousand victories.

Chen Ji crouched low, dragging the whale knife and ran madly towards the heavy sword armored soldier! The heavy sword armored soldier's eyes widened in anger, and he chopped down at Chen Ji with a sword from above. Chen Ji flashed to the left side of the corridor, avoiding the manic sword wind, and came to the front of the opposite side. The heavy sword and the whale knife clashed together, emitting a deafening roar! Chen Ji suddenly let go of the hand gripping the knife handle and brushed past the armored soldier!

After the whale knife and the heavy sword clashed, it spun up, as if it had grown wings, following Chen Ji around to behind the armored soldier. Chen Ji gripped it forcefully, just right in the air, gripping the spinning whale knife handle, and followed the momentum with a horizontal chop. The heavy sword armored soldier slashed upwards with a backhand, and the iron-cast thick and clumsy sword again blocked the whale knife!

But when he came back to his senses, there was just a black sword seed as thin as a cicada's wing in front of him, whooshing straight towards his heart. The sword seed pierced through his body, and all sounds ceased!
