Chapter 1089: Black Alliance Heart Method
Isn’t this a short sword? Why does this guy carry a sword around like an ancient swordsman?
What people didn’t know was that this sword was the Dragon Slayer Sword. After the last battle at the Hidden Sword Manor, Chen Tianlong knew the sword’s power, which had significantly enhanced his strength. So, coming to the Black Alliance this time, he had to bring it along.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong said to the Red-eyed Eagle beside him, "Old Hong, be careful. Later, take the chance to quickly rush over with the others and slaughter the enemy."
"Alright, alright." As the Red-eyed Eagle received the order, the other five also nodded, indicating that they were fully prepared.
At this point, after exchanging a glance, Chen Tianlong and the Red-eyed Eagle immediately rushed forward.
Seeing their action, Zhou Botong was taken aback. He never expected the other side to attack proactively. He was confident, thinking he had over a hundred people, while the opponent barely had ten. With such numbers, the outcome seemed pre-determined without a fight.
Yet, the current situation arose.
Now, Zhou Botong felt a bit panicked. As he watched the two approach swiftly, he immediately commanded, "Fire the arrows! Aim carefully and shoot them dead."
However, just as he was shouting, Chen Tianlong activated the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique. The Dragon Slayer Sword glowed, emitting a mysterious purple hue faintly. Meanwhile, the Red-eyed Eagle leaped into the air and unleashed a powerful strike.
The Heart Method of the Black Alliance was not to be underestimated. In an instant, the dagger in the Red-eyed Eagle’s hand transformed into a Phantom Giant Saber.
"Whizz whizz whizz....."
"Boom boom boom....."
A series of sounds followed. Although the archers in the front row fired their arrows, they were mere child’s play to the two Celestial Dao experts. It’s no wonder; after all, once someone reaches the level of a Celestial Dao expert, their reaction speed and evasion skills are significantly honed. If a few ordinary arrows could hurt them, it would be a joke.
The two easily dodged the dense rain of arrows, and their powerful strikes landed directly on the archers in front. Instantly, dust billowed as more than twenty archers, who had taken a few steps forward, were all killed in one move.
Zhou Botong was terrified at the scene. He realized he had encountered formidable foes today and quickly retreated.
At this point, the hundred soldiers behind were also somewhat fearful. However, before they could react, a group of people suddenly appeared from the dissipating smoke and dust.
These were Li Xiaoting and Niu Xiaosan with a few others. They charged into the ranks, taking advantage of the chaos to kill continuously.
After all, they were well-trained. In no time, they wiped out nearly a hundred men, leaving only a dozen remnants to escort the general, Zhou Botong, in retreat.
However, Zhou Botong, after all, was a Celestial Dao expert. Despite briefly panicking, he quickly regained composure.
Now, he brandished a steel blade and appeared before Chen Tianlong and the others, looking imposing. Those who had experienced great storms were indeed different; after a short panic, he swiftly returned to his usual calmness.
Zhou Botong held the steel blade, visibly angry. The other side, without losing a single soldier, had wiped out the hundred men he led. As the vanguard leader, where was his dignity now?
This was clearly the greatest insult to his capability, leaving him with no face to report to Hao Shuai.
Therefore, at this moment, no matter how downtrodden Zhou Botong felt, he was determined to fight to the death.
Chen Tianlong frowned, ready to deal with him. But he was blocked back by the Red-eyed Eagle, who wanted to avenge her brothers, whom she had seen the Eight Major Sects kill.
"Bastard, will you surrender?" the Red-eyed Eagle shouted.
"Haha, the victor becomes king, the loser a bandit, there’s no such thing as surrendering. A man should not fear death; each serves his master," Zhou Botong said with heroic zest.
"Hmph, you Eight Major Sects occupied our homeland and still talk big. Sounds nice, but you clearly don’t want to surrender." The Red-eyed Eagle was now certain that this guy had no intention of surrendering, so there was no need to waste more words.
The Red-eyed Eagle didn’t linger, directly waving her dagger and flying forward.
Zhou Botong saw that the Sword God had already started, so he could only firmly grasp his flashy steel blade to engage. Before long, the two were fighting together, and it was clear that the Red-eyed Eagle hadn’t used any major technique, engaging him in hand-to-hand combat because only in this close combat could she vent her inner hatred.
After several rounds, it was evident that the Red-eyed Eagle had the upper hand, not for any reason other than her unique Heart Method.
The Red-eyed Eagle thought of her tens of thousands of brothers who had been slain by the Eight Major Sects, making her attacks even more fierce. Suddenly, with a slash in mid-air, she cut a long wound on Zhou Botong’s shoulder, blood immediately soaking his battle robe.
"Hiss..." The sharp pain made Zhou Botong take a deep breath. Up to this point in the battle, victory and defeat were already decided, and he had been wounded in several places.
"Bastard, I see you’re a hero. If you surrender, I can grant you a way out."
The Red-eyed Eagle, despite her hatred, was inherently kind. Seeing her blade after blade land on such a warrior, she felt a bit of reluctance in her heart.
"Haha, then I, Zhou Botong, thank you. However, I must die on the battlefield; please forgive me for not surrendering. Come, young lady." Zhou Botong was truly a man, unlike some who cling to life in fear of death.
The Red-eyed Eagle held her dagger tighter and rushed over with quick steps, then drew her blade to stab. At this moment, Zhou Botong began his counterattack. This was his last move, the strongest move among Celestial Dao’s Six Stars.
"Silver Blade Giant Slash."
Zhou Botong, during the Red-eyed Eagle’s autumn-like sweep, spun up to the sky, launching this move.
With that, the steel blade in Zhou Botong’s hand instantly enlarged as he ascended, shining with a silver light. Seeing this, the Red-eyed Eagle knew if she didn’t unleash a powerful technique, she would probably be hit, so she didn’t hesitate to activate the Black Alliance’s unique Heart Method, the Holy Eye Technique.
In an instant, the Red-eyed Eagle, like an arrow, soared high, then poised at the same level as Zhou Botong.
"Godless Overlord Blade."
Accompanied by her light hum, a giant blade, like early spring snow, instantly emitted a cold chill from its blade, making one feel as if they had entered the deep winter.
Chen Tianlong, watching from the side, was also shocked to see how powerful the Red-eyed Eagle’s Heart Method was, capable of turning a small dagger into a powerful tool, thanks to the Third Elder’s addition.
At this moment, the two blades clashed, creating a thunderous sound, immediately sending sand flying and dust swirling.
When the dust settled, the Red-eyed Eagle slowly landed, while Zhou Botong, not far away, lay on the ground, coughing up blood, evidently seriously wounded.
The Red-eyed Eagle quickly reached him, resolutely asking Zhou Botong, "Old man, I respect you. I hope you can surrender; I can spare your life."
"No need..... haha." As Zhou Botong spoke, he prepared to crash into the Red-eyed Eagle’s dagger, but just then, a shadow swiftly appeared, kicking him away.
