"Reporting to the Khan, two men leading a pack of giant wolves are charging towards the camp. I ordered my men to shoot arrows to stop them, but we were unable to harm them in the slightest. I beseech the Khan to make a decision!"
A commander of ten thousand rushed into the main tent to report, and Khan Wantu, who was playing with several beautiful Han women, got up and walked out cursing.
Bare-chested and wearing only a pair of wide riding breeches Khan Wantu asked solemnly, "Have you ascertained the origins of the other party?"
"Judging from his appearance, he should be the Wuming Human Butcher slaughtered most of the martial arts forces on the border of the Central Plains!" The commander of ten thousand dared not be negligent and hurriedly replied.
Their grassland martial arts world also has some intelligence networks in the Central Plains, especially in the border martial arts world.
Therefore, as early as when Wang Hao took action, these intelligence networks had already drawn a portrait of Wang Hao's appearance and sent it to the grasslands.
Because of his terrifying achievements, the nomadic tribes of the grasslands treated Wang Hao as a key figure. All high-ranking officers above the rank of centurion received a report on Wang Hao, which included a portrait.
Therefore, upon seeing Wang Hao and noticing his extraordinary Sword Control Technique, the commander immediately recognized him and rushed over to report.
It's him!
Upon hearing Khan Wantu's pupils contracted, and he sneered, "I thought you were a ruthless Ruthless figure, but I didn't expect you to be such a fool. You dare to come and challenge my million-strong army with just two people? Today, I'll show you what death truly means!"
With a cold laugh, Khan Wantu ordered, "Men, summon all the tribal leaders and Grandmaster. They shall come with me to the front lines to see this so-called Human Butcher Reborn."
As soon as he finished speaking, Khan Wantu dressed with the help of female slaves and strode outside.
Tribal leaders from other scattered camps also gathered here, and powerful figures from various temples in the grassland martial arts world also rushed over.
The martial arts world on the grasslands is different from that in the Central Plains. There, only the Esoteric Sect sect has power, so it only has temples under its command and no other sects or factions. Therefore, those who go into battle with the army are all Esoteric Sect masters, among whom are three Half-step Innate experts.
This doesn't mean that the grassland martial arts world only has three Half-step Innate experts. Rather, it's because they had an agreement with the experts of the Central Plains martial arts world that neither side could send a large number of Half-step Innate experts across the border, and that number was five.
Reaching five people would exceed the limits of tolerance for both sides, so this time they could only send three strong people. Together with the High Person Longxiang who arrived earlier, that makes four people, which is just close to the limit of five people.
The group quickly arrived at the front of the formation, where Wang Hao Dingzhen were already surrounded by a cavalry legion of ten thousand men. All the cavalrymen were constantly hurling arrows at the two men, with countless arrows flying towards them every moment.
Although Wang Hao was somewhat hostile to the grassland army, he had to admit that these men were all skilled archers, able to accurately hit their targets even while riding at full speed on horseback.
Faced with these arrows that never missed their mark, Wang Hao had no choice but to brace himself and remain calm.
Of course, this offensive was no match for him. He controlled the eighty-one longswords to form the Wuji Sword Formation, enveloping himself, Dingzhen, and the huskies within it, and then swept across the battlefield while enduring the Wuji Sword Formation.
Wherever they went, bloodshed followed, and no one could withstand them.
Several Grandmaster- level Esoteric Sect masters had previously stepped forward, but after being instantly shredded by the Wuji Sword Formation, not a single Esoteric Sect master dared to step forward again.
With the Wuji Sword Formation in hand, the battle situation appeared to be him being surrounded, but in reality, he was suppressing the tens of thousands of grassland cavalry, and it was an absolutely crushing battle.
Wang Hao paid no attention to the tens of thousands of cavalrymen surrounding him, knowing that they were not the elite of the grassland army.
According to the information provided by Abbess Qingmiao, the elite troops of this grassland army numbered only 100,000, while the remaining million were escort troops. In short, these were grassland herders who followed the army south because they saw an opportunity to gain something.
The steppe army did not reject such retinue troops; on the contrary, it sometimes even drove these retinue troops to fight bloody battles on the front lines to reduce its own losses.
This is a matter of mutual consent, there's nothing more to say about it.
While using the Wuji Sword Formation to annihilate the surrounding cavalry, Wang Hao made his way towards the grassland army's camp. His speed was not fast, but it was very steady.
"Only three Half-step Innate experts?!"
Sensing that the Esoteric Sect experts had gathered directly in front of the camp, Wang Hao narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
He was initially worried that the grassland army had brought too many powerful warriors, since his Wuji Sword Formation also had its limits.
At this moment, it can withstand the full force of ten Half-step Innate experts at most. Beyond this limit, the Wuji Sword Formation will be broken, and he will need time to rebuild Wuji Sword Formation.
Therefore, if there are more than ten Half-step Innate experts from the grassland tribes, and they know how to use combined attacks, then things will be difficult.
But now that he saw there were only three of them on the other side, Wang Hao finally felt relieved.
As long as the number of Half-step Innate experts does not exceed the limit, he is Invincible. As for the small fry of the grassland army, no matter how many come, they will all die.
After all, compared to the disguise mode of Sword Saint Dugu, his Wuming disguise mode with Sword Control Technique is more suitable for group battles. Even when facing a million-strong army, as long as he is given enough time and the enemy does not run away, he is confident that he can annihilate them all.
Moreover, he also took the opportunity of this war to deduce the killing method of the Wuji Sword Formation!
It's important to know that he had only deduced defensive methods at the Mount Heng Sword Sect before, but what he wanted was not just simple defense; in his character, offense was the key.
However, since the Mount Heng Sword Sect hadn't done anything wrong and they had an acquaintance Dingzhen, he couldn't easily hurt them, so he was quite restrained when he made his move.
Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to devise and perfect methods of warfare, but it would be different when facing these large armies of nomadic tribes from the grasslands.
Once these people, armed with bows and arrows and scimitars, set foot on the land of Huaxia and stained it with blood, they were all destined to die!
Wang Hao would show no mercy to those who deserved to die!
With this in mind, Wang Hao gradually began to adjust the Wuji Sword Formation, transforming it from a purely defensive stance into an offensive one, causing its lethality to skyrocket.
The tens of thousands of cavalrymen, who were already terrified of Wang Hao's battle tactics, almost collapsed when they saw this scene. If the regular army in the rear hadn't executed some of them to supervise the battle, they probably would have run away long ago.
"Vomit..."
Suddenly, as if unable to bear the frenzied killing, Dingzhen bent over and began to retch, her pretty face turning deathly pale, clearly not in good condition.
Although as a martial artist, one is quite adaptable to killing, there are limits. Facing such a brutal war all at once, it's already quite impressive that one has managed to hold on this long.
Dingzhen's vomiting was nothing serious, but it caused Wang Hao to feel unwell as well. The bloody smell that filled his nose made him want to gag.
Although he had also experienced intense killings, not to mention his record of slaughtering tens of thousands of Japanese pirates on Peach Blossom Island, he had recently wiped out more than 80% of the forces in the border martial arts world, and countless people had died at his hands.
So he could barely withstand the brutality of the war, but only barely.
When one's mind is focused, there is naturally no worry, but being influenced by Dingzhen, that perseverance immediately began to crumble.
"Damn, we still need to deduce a martial art that's suitable for this special situation."
With a sigh, Wang Hao decisively activated his Dao Comprehension Function, attempting to deduce a martial art that could adapt to the battlefield and help him adjust his state of mind, based on his own martial arts foundation.
Wang Hao tried several approaches, but was not satisfied with the final results.
After all, this martial art wasn't just for him to practice; it also needed to be taught to Dingzhen.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, the slaughter of this million- Dingzhen army will inevitably leave an indelible shadow on Dingzhen's psyche.
He had initially thought the girl was resolute and was mentally prepared to face anything, but he hadn't expected her to fall short.
That makes sense, considering she's just a girl not even twenty years old yet; it's quite remarkable that she's managed to persevere this long.
Following the same line of thought, Wang Hao deduced another mental cultivation method, tried practicing it, and then nodded in satisfaction.
"Girl, I will pass on to you a cultivation technique derived from the Heavenly Sword Heart Method, called the Ice Heart Instruction..."
After verifying the deduced technique, Wang Hao immediately taught it to Dingzhen, and casually named it the Ice Heart Instruction.
Since he's already copied so many martial arts techniques from the Feng Yun series, he doesn't mind copying another one Ice Heart Instruction.
Moreover, in terms of effectiveness, his knock-off Ice Heart Instruction is not much different from the original; the only difference is in the approach.
The official Feng Yun comic doesn't provide a detailed explanation of the Ice Heart Instruction; it only contains a simple incantation without any basis. At least Wang Hao had recited the Ice Heart Instruction many times while watching the Feng Yun TV series, but it was still completely useless.
His knock-off version of the Ice Heart Instruction was different; it was based on modern psychological theories and incorporated the Soul-Shifting Great Art from the Nine Yin True Scripture. However, this time, the one being hypnotized was not someone else, but himself.
After practicing the counterfeit version of the Ice Heart Instruction, one can hypnotize oneself, suppress one's emotions, and liberate rationality. Theoretically speaking, if cultivated to the extreme, it is possible to completely suppress emotions and leave only absolute rationality.
Of course, that's just in theory; it would take countless years to actually cultivate to that level!
However, it's fine to use it to temporarily alleviate Dingzhen's situation.
Dingzhen recited the Ice Heart Instruction Mantra with Wang Hao, while also regulating her Innate Qi to circulate it.
As the Ice Heart Instruction was activated, the Innate Qi became increasingly cool, and most of it gathered inside the head, gradually reducing the nausea.
After that, Dingzhen. Although she wanted to keep her eyes closed and not look at the horrific battlefield around her, she seemed to remember something and finally opened her beautiful eyes, forcing herself to look directly at the tragic battle.
"If you don't like it, just close your eyes!"
Wang Hao felt a pang of pity and spoke up to remind him.
"No, I still want to help the uncle defeat those bad guys. I will never back down now, and I will never back down in the future!"
Dingzhen stubbornly and resolutely, her pretty face full of determination.
