Chapter 586: One Person, One Blade

Lin Xun led ten thousand Sword Cultivators to garrison Dragon Sword City.

These ten thousand Sword Cultivators were all selected from the Black Demon Sect, Zilin Holy Land, and various other Sects, and their strength was extremely formidable.

Furthermore, after attending Lin Xun’s lectures, their strength had reached an even higher level.

It could be said that these Sword Cultivators were already Lin Xun’s Named Disciples.

These ten thousand Sword Cultivators were also Lin Xun’s exclusive legion, led by him to handle the most difficult battles!

Just like this time.

Lin Xun and his group had only one goal: to take down the Dragon Cry Holy Land.

At this moment, the Dragon Cry Holy Land had already been occupied by a Desolate Territory City Lord named Huan Ya.

The Dragon Cry Holy Land was located at the very center of the Longming Continent.

If the Dragon Cry Holy Land could not be taken, even if Lin Xun conquered all other areas, it would be for nothing.

Currently, inside the military tent, Lin Xun and seven other generals were looking at a map and discussing strategy.

These seven generals were all promoted by Lin Xun.

They came from various Sects.

But now, they belonged to only one place: the Glimmer Alliance!

“Alliance Leader, I believe it is best to attack Long Qin Pavilion first! The terrain there is open and wide, which is very suitable for an offensive by our Sword Cultivators.”

A woman named Ruo Xia spoke up.

Ruo Xia, a Jade Purity Realm Sword Cultivator, was originally at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. After attending Lin Xun’s lectures and receiving his guidance, she stepped into the Jade Purity Realm and viewed Lin Xun as her idol.

At that time, in order to become Lin Xun’s personal guard, she had once stood before Lin Xun’s courtyard for a full three days with her longsword in hand.

In the end, it was only after Jiang Qingshang agreed that Lin Xun finally accepted her as his personal guard.

There was no other way; he was henpecked.

“I think that is inappropriate.”

Zhang Xiong shook his head.

“Alliance Leader! According to reports from the front, the enemy has already anticipated that we might forcibly attack Long Qin Pavilion. If we attack now, I fear we will fall into their trap.”

Zhang Xiong was originally a Disciple of Tianji City. Tianji City also had Sword Cultivators, and what they practiced was the Heaven-Peering Sword!

The meaning was that this single strike had a certain predictive effect, being one strike faster than the opponent.

This kind of sword technique combined with the Heaven-Peering Art was actually quite fierce, but it lacked destructive power.

Then, Lin Xun taught him the Dugu Nine Swords.

Yes, it was the Dugu Nine Swords from the Smiling Proud Wanderer, though of course, it wasn’t the original version.

Lin Xun didn’t know the original version himself.

It was something Lin Xun had created himself based on the Dugu Nine Swords described in the book.

Regardless, it was also extremely fierce.

And it was very suitable for Zhang Xiong to practice.

It could be said that under Lin Xun’s training, Zhang Xiong was now the most aggressive Sword Cultivator among the seven.

“Oh? Then I wonder what insights Commander Zhang might have?”

Ruo Xia glanced at Zhang Xiong, her mood carrying a hint of displeasure.

Honestly! This guy actually made her lose Face in front of the Alliance Leader!

Besides! If Long Qin Pavilion is heavily guarded, could it be that other places aren’t?

Zhang Xiong held his sword and bowed: “I suggest attacking Dragon Lock Valley!”

“Dragon Lock Valley?!”

Qiang Yan’s heart jolted, her willow-like brows furrowing slightly.

“No. Although Dragon Lock Valley is very suitable for Sword Cultivators to fight in, that kind of terrain makes it very easy to set up Magic Formations.

If we go in, we will surely be ambushed!”

“We can’t attack here, we can’t attack there! Since when have Sword Cultivators become so timid?” Shi Fei was fuming, slamming a stone sword weighing a thousand pounds heavily onto the ground!

“This isn’t being timid. Sword Cultivators value being direct, but that doesn’t mean acting recklessly! Moreover, this is a war! Do you think only your own life is at stake?”

“But we have to find a Breakthrough point eventually, right?”

“Exactly, exactly. Our Blood Sword Army has ten thousand people, and it can be said we’ve gathered the ten thousand strongest Sword Cultivators of the Qianye Continent!

If we don’t dare to fight here or there, then who will fight?

Our Blood Sword Army is meant for breaking through strongholds!”

“Did I say we wouldn’t fight?”

“Then pick a place!”

“Aren’t we discussing it right now?”

“I think we should just act separately, with each person attacking one location!”

“Splitting our forces? Are you looking for death?”

“Women are just women, utterly weak!”

“Say that again!” Qiang Yan drew her longsword.

“Alright, stop arguing.”

Just as everyone was arguing and about to start a fight, Lin Xun spoke up to stop them, rubbing the corners of his eyes.

“This is a military camp, not your martial arts arena. If you want to fight, wait until this battle is over, then you can fight however you like.”

“We ask for the Alliance Leader’s forgiveness.”

Hearing Lin Xun’s intervention, no matter how fiery their tempers were, everyone turned around and bowed to Lin Xun with their swords held in their hands.

Everyone present had received favors from Lin Xun, not to mention that Sword Cultivators believed most in the strong.

And Lin Xun was currently the strongest person in the Myriad Laws World.

Lin Xun looked at the sand table on the table and fell into slight contemplation.

“Pass down my military order: the entire army will attack Hanlong Pass.”

Hearing Lin Xun’s words, everyone looked at each other.

“Alliance Leader,” Qiang Yan bowed with her sword, “the location of Hanlong Pass is indeed suitable for an attack, and we could even strike straight at the heart of the enemy. However, Hanlong Pass is situated between Dragon Lock Valley and Emperor Gorge.

If the enemy performs a pincer movement from Dragon Lock Valley and Emperor Gorge, our army will be in a very bad position.”

“I know.”

Lin Xun nodded.

“Therefore, I will go alone to attack Dragon Lock Valley, and then I will punch directly through Emperor Gorge. This way, you will have no worries about your rear.”

“You alone, Alliance Leader?” Ruo Xia said in shock.

“Yes.”

Lin Xun said calmly.

“Just me, one person, one blade—that will be enough.

Alright, it’s decided. Next, let’s formulate the specific operational plan.”

Lin Xun and the others discussed in the tent for nearly a day and a night.

Afterward, the entire army rested for three days.

On the fourth day, the Blood Sword Army set out in full force, striking directly at Hanlong Pass!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun headed straight for Dragon Lock Valley!

And just as the Desolate Territory Cultivators guarding the Dragon Cry Holy Land were putting all their effort into the defense,

At Dragon Lock Valley, a single man holding a blade walked step by step toward the valley.

Looking at this man, everyone couldn’t help but gulp.
