Chapter 897
Thud!
The Dragon Rider’s war sword that had flopped and flown out plunged heavily into the ground.
The sound made the crowd of onlookers, all of them, shake in their hearts and minds.
The number of people in the Dragon Rider War Daggers’ square was not 10,000.
But the brawling and stern shouting that had just taken place, as the soldiers in the Dragon Riding War Daggers square gathered around, so did a number of people nearby.
No one had expected that the battle would end in a single slash, straight away!
What was even more unexpected was that Chen Dong, who in their eyes would woefully become the loser, would become the outright victor of the battle with a single, crisp and dominating slash!
A second kill!
A naked and extreme kill!
A single slash was wielded, and ten thousand people were shocked.
A single swing of the blade was unparalleled in its dominance!
Shocked, terrified, as if in a dream ……
The whole room fell into an eerie dead silence.
It was as if it was frozen in time.
Only the wind and snow remained.
The cold wind, gently blew the black hair in front of Chen Dong’s forehead.
In this moment, the knife-sharp side of his face was cold to the extreme, and the cold light in his eyes flashed without the slightest ripple.
It was also this side face that, in the midst of this silence, was ruthlessly etched into everyone’s heart.
Tick …… tick ……
A drop of crimson blood dripped down onto the snow-covered ground, smashing the snow into a small crater and staining it red.
Centurion Wang’s right hand trembled gently, and it was from the tiger’s mouth of his right hand that the blood flowed, dripping down his fingers to the ground.
The blow he had just struck was like a great mountain moving across, overbearing and fierce, a slash that not only sent the Dragon Rider’s war sword flying, but also cracked his tiger mouth on the spot.
The pain swept down his arm to his whole body.
At this moment, Centurion Wang’s entire body was in a state of great terror.
Even though he could only see Chen Dong’s back, it still hit his eyeballs like a heavy hammer.
Horror and fear wrapped around his whole body, as if it was a myriad of weeds, wrapping around him and causing him to stagnate in his breathing.
Compared to the excruciating pain of the tiger’s mouth tearing, he was, at this time, even more in shock of Chen Dong’s strength.
This new recruit …… was too terrifying!
As a centurion, he held himself to be a great warrior, holding the Dragon Rider’s battle sword in his hand against him, even if it was Commander Xiao …… who was one rank higher than him, no, even if it was the Thousand Man Capital Commander who was two ranks higher than him, it would never be possible to crack his tiger mouth with one slash, making him unable to hold the battle sword!
But the Chen Dong in front of him did it, not only did he do it, but he even replicated Bai Qi’s slash after only three days of contacting the Dragon Rider Battle Sword Blade Technique, and his stance was clean and unadulterated, and his power was even more overwhelming.
Where the hell did this demon come from?
A question erupted in his mind, the centurion was a different person from before!
Those who were equally shocked.
There was also Bai Qi, Meng Dabiao, Sun Kong and Zhou Yao.
Meng Dabiao, Sun Kong and Zhou Yao were the ones who had fought alongside Chen Dong, so they knew how terrifying Chen Dong’s battle prowess was, so the three of them had never worried about Chen Dong and Centurion Wang going it alone from the beginning to the end.
Bai Qi, on the other hand, was the most shocked of the four!
He had already practiced the Dragon Rider Battle Sword to perfection, and it was because he knew it so well that he had a very clear perception of how difficult Chen Dong’s slash was just now.
On the contrary, Chen Dong had used just three days.
In a near-perfect manner, he had replicated that slash!
That blade was used to stop bullets, but when used in single combat, its power was also overwhelming!
“He really can surprise people time and time again.”
Bai Qi murmured offhand, his voice inaudibly low.
It wasn’t because he had his voice under control, but because the shock made his throat tighten and he could only make such a low sound.
So much so that even Meng Dabiao, the three people in shock beside him, did not hear it.
“Hoo ……”
Chen Dong slowly exhaled a hot breath, as if he was a god breathing in this side of the world.
He twisted his head to look at the shocked Bai Qi and smiled proudly, “Chief Bai Wu, isn’t it very similar?”
These words finally broke the dead silence in the venue where ten thousand people had gathered.
A resemblance?
Everyone froze for a moment, and then reacted.
Wasn’t this slash the same one that Bai Qi had used to block a bullet three days ago?
Boom!
Exclaims exploded like a tidal wave.
“That’s the same slash, the one that Bai Qi used to block two bullets in opposite directions three days ago, my, my god …… he, he learned it in three days?”
“Wait! That’s not right! These three days he wasn’t idling and slacking off, he, he stopped time and time again to fret, he must have been thinking about pushing Bai Qi’s slash three days ago, holy Sh*t, is this guy a martial arts nut?”
“BullSh*t lunatic, he’s a genius! A martial arts genius! Bai Qi is a former Dragon Head Guard, how many of us in the Dragon Rider War Daggers square could have executed that slash of his? This guy …… only took three days!”
……
The sound waves were like a tidal wave, and the clamor shook the sky.
At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the Dragon Riding War Daggers Formation looked at Chen Dong completely differently.
From the shock of a moment ago, they had all turned into awe and envy!
Their shouts of amazement also seemed to be a bolt from the blue, blasting at Centurion Wang’s body.
The corners of Wang’s mouth trembled incessantly.
He was the one who was certain that Chen Dong was idle and negligent, and he was also the one who was certain that Bai Qi was guilty of dereliction of duty!
But this battle, this slash, had directly struck him dumb.
If Chen Dong was idle and slow in his training, how many of the Great Snow Dragon Riders were serious in their training?
The next second.
Chen Dong carried his Dragon Rider Battle Sword and turned around to look at Centurion Wang with a strange smile, “Centurion Wang, I am sorry, I have been idle and slack in my drills for a few days, and I have also split your sword, I am really sorry.”
Poof!
The words were like a knife, stabbing at Centurion Wang’s heart.
At once, the corners of Wang’s eyes jumped wildly and his whole body felt the urge to vomit blood.
He didn’t even wait to get over it.
Bai Qi also stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile, “Sorry, Centurion Wang, I failed to supervise the training of the new soldiers and caused your sword to be splintered by the new soldiers, I am really sorry.”
Poof!
The words were like knives, and the second stab struck Centurion Wang in the heart.
Centurion Wang’s tiger body trembled and he gritted his teeth.
Ashamed, annoyed, daring to speak out in anger!
Chen Dong’s slash had completely negated all his previous public certainties.
If he continued to show off his arrogance and shout in public after being defeated by a single slash.
What he would get in return would not only be the snickering and contempt of his comrades, but perhaps …… even more serious!
However.
Meng Dabiao, however, scratched his head and asked aloud in confusion.
“You two didn’t do anything wrong, why are you both still embarra*sed of Centurion Wang?”
One word came out.
Centurion Wang’s expression was steeply grim and hideous.
His right hand clenched into a fist with a “bang”, even squeezing a trace of blood to splash out.
The next second.
The next second, the Centurion’s body shook, and he felt a blockage in his throat, unable to catch his breath, and he fell to the snow with a bang.
Chapter 898
A single drill has created such a storm.
Naturally, it caused a lot of concern.
But with such a matter, the middle and senior ranks of the Great Snow Dragon Rider Army obviously could not let things go on.
Soon after the centurion Wang fell to the ground and fainted, he was carried off, and some high-ranking generals crossed the scene, restoring order to the drill on the school grounds.
In the fighting technique square.
Commander Xiao’s face was as gloomy as black charcoal, his fists clenched tightly, his whole body was tense to the extreme, emitting a grim aura.
He had witnessed the entire scene just now.
Chen Dong’s slash had shocked him.
But the failure of the matter left him with a lump in his throat, as if his chest was clogged with a backlog of stones.
“Bai Qi, you’ve really F**king met your lucky stars, not this time, there will always be a time when I can catch you in the act and then make you doomed.”
This was the thought in Commander Xiao’s mind.
He did not bother to delve deeper into curious about Chen Dong’s battle prowess and talent.
In itself, the recruiting of the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army was not from ordinary people, but directly from the blood of the major Rong Wu, and it was only normal to be able to suck in some geniuses.
Commander Xiao had no more desire to train, so he left the schoolyard.
On the other side.
When Chen Dong and the others saw Commander Xiao leave the schoolyard, they all laughed.
Chen Dong waved the Dragon Rider Battle Sword in his hand and said to Bai Qi, “Well, this sword didn’t block for you for nothing, did it?”
“You even know it was a blocking sword, and you’re still blocking for me?”
Bai Qi laughed helplessly.
Chen Dong deflated his mouth and said indifferently, “You are my sergeant, we are comrades in arms, so we are brothers, among the soldiers, when a brother is in trouble, it is proper to block a sword.”
If it was just a small scuffle, Chen Dong would not really help Bai Qi to block the sword, a small scuffle was not important.
But when he knew that it was Commander Xiao who had instructed Centurion Wang, the sword really had to be blocked!
Once Bai Qi was confronted with the sword, he would have been at his wits’ end.
He might even be able to do what Commander Xiao wanted, and he would be able to do what he wanted to do!
“Commander Xiao is also enough of a thief.”
Meng Dabiao said indignantly.
Chen Dong, Bai Qi, Zhou Yao and Sun Kong all looked at Meng Dabiao in amazement.
The four of them said in unison.
“You originally knew that?”
Meng Dabiao scratched his head and gave a naive smile, “I’m not a fool, how could I not see it? But Chief Bai and Brother Dong are both squeezing people, so what does it matter if I show off my tongue? Anyway, if the sky falls, you two tall ones will hold it up!”
“You’re a thief too!”
Chen Dong spoke in unison, and then simultaneously raised his middle finger at Meng Dabiao.
The drill was over.
The sunrise also sprinkled down, cloaking Zhenjiang City with a morning glow, the more it sprinkled that seemingly warmth.
After breakfast.
Chen Dong and the others went back to their barracks to recuperate.
Bai Qi then said, “It’s almost time to rest, today our mission is city defence, brothers have a mental preparation, after taking over the post, the execution period is 24 hours.”
“Don’t worry, Chief Bai, in my original army, I’ve tried it for 48 hours, not to mention 24 hours!”
Meng Dabiao stood up first and said with a pat on his chest.
“That’s good.”
Bai Qi stared at Meng Dabiao and smiled wryly.
As Chen Dong watched, he knew in his heart that the northern frontier where this Great Snow Dragon Riding Army was located was no ordinary place.
It was wintry and snowy for years.
The temperature during the day was bearable, but at night, it was terrifying!
In the past few days, the barracks were heated and roasted by fire, but the cold wind that blew in through the cracks in the doors and windows every now and then at night was bone-chillingly cold.
If it was at night, on the walls …… that feeling would only be a hundred times stronger by a thousand times!
After changing into soft armor and wrapping up in thick animal fleece robes, Chen Dong and the others were following Bai Qi to the northern city gate of Zhenjiang City.
They were responsible for taking over one of the wall posts at the northern gate.
With Bai Qi around, the handover went smoothly.
This post was responsible for a defence line of only fifty metres, in other words, five men were only ten metres away from each other!
The density of such a defensive stand was not too high!
Bai Qi seemed to know the doubts in Chen Dong and the others’ minds.
He smiled and explained, “Ten meters per man is already considered light. In true wartime conditions, there is still one guard at five paces and one sentry at ten paces on this side of the North City Gate, and five paces is almost like five meters.”
After a pause, Bai Qi raised his finger to point at the miserable white world blurred by the wind and snow in the north, and said heavily, “Because the North City Gate, facing the Hundred Clans outside the northern frontier, if the Hundred Clans move south, the North City Gate is the first to be hit, so since the establishment of Zhenjiang City, the North City Gate’s city defense arrangement has always been stronger than the other three city gates!”
Chen Dong’s eyes were deep, and as Bai Qi explained, the battle during the scouting patrol suddenly came to mind, as well as that ordinary but monstrously significant Hundred Clans Order.
On the northern frontier, the winds and snow continue to blow.
The wind and the snow were blowing incessantly and seemed to be the main theme of this part of the world.
The pale white of the sky seems to be the underlying colour of this world.
But the wind and snow did not allow one to see very far!
Even with Chen Dong’s best eyesight, he could only see a hundred metres away, and further away, it was rapidly blurring due to the wind and snow.
No one could be sure that a thousand horses would suddenly burst out of the blurred wind and snow!
“Chief Bai, we’re still all new recruits, and this is kicking us straight into a place as grim as the North City Gate for training?” Sun Kong, who was proficient in scouting and naturally not weak in terms of brain power, quickly reacted to the fact that something was not right in Bai Qi’s words.
At these words.
Meng Dabiao and Zhou Yao also looked at Bai Qi.
Indeed.
There were four new recruits and one old soldier in the army.
Even if they were familiar with the city’s defences, they couldn’t be sent directly to the northern city gate, right?
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, “Who let us all be the first in the Earth’s word? We’ve all received such great merits, so we have to be arranged to do our best.”
Meng Dabiao and the three of them were all dumbfounded.
And Chen Dong, who was looking out over the northern border, also looked back at Bai Qi helplessly.
Obviously Bai Qi’s words meant that the five of them had picked up the first merit of the word earth and had been slightly jealous of the person from above who was responsible for arranging them, which was why they had been thrown to come to the northern city gate.
Just as Chen Dong looked at Bai Qi, he noticed that Bai Qi’s gaze was sweeping at him as if nothing was wrong.
The look in his eyes, became somewhat odd.
Chen Dong’s heart fluttered.
Does this have something to do with me?
However, he did not ask it directly, but instead digressed, “Since we have all arrived at the Northern City Gate, then let’s stand this first shift properly, although the Northern City Gate is grim, it will also enhance us more quickly and allow us to adapt to the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army.”
Meng Dabiao and Sun Kong both nodded their heads in agreement.
Zhou Yao, who had been silent, was the only one who frowned at this time, and walked quaintly to the battlements, lying on them and looking down.
With that, Zhou Yao got up.
Looking back at Chen Dong and the others, “Guess what I have found?”
