Chapter 010: The Murderer Silences Witnesses (2)
When the astonished Su Jian finally regained his senses, he discovered that the densely packed crowd had scattered and fallen. In the clearing of the dense forest, only a few people remained, isolated and alone.
When everyone feels confident of victory, all eyes are focused on the remaining figure in the black robe
At this moment, Su Jian observed with the mindset of watching a performance during the New Year, his gaze closely following Xiao Ning as he approached the hooded figure in black, watching him raise the sharp sword in his hand, preparing to reach out and dislodge the tightly fitted mask worn by the black-robed guest
At last, he no longer has to die young, becoming one among the heap of corpses.
This dreamlike illusion reached its peak when he saw Xiao Ning's current appearance
However, the significant losses in his eyes were viewed quite differently by Xiao Ning. As an outstanding general in the Qinglong Army, Xiao Ning understood the true power comparison between the human and dragon clans.
When the shadow suddenly struck, true to his reputation as a rising star of Huaxia, Xiao Ning was the first to react; in almost an instant, he sensed the true extent of the danger and immediately unleashed all the skills he had mastered throughout his life
Su Jian instinctively believed that this was a dream, just like the strange dragon-winged goddess he often dreamed of before
It is evident that all the remaining human soldiers share the same view as Xiao Ning. Although witnessing the countless corpses of their own side is a sight too tragic to bear, when they recall the previous battles against the Dragon Clan, they all feel that the losses in today's battle are indeed quite minimal
Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Ning felt quite at ease and leisurely strolled over, stepping into the heart of the crowd
Upon witnessing this scene, Su Jian felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer
Upon witnessing this scene, Su Jian's first reaction was to think it was merely an illusion. However, when he pinched his thigh, he immediately widened his eyes in terror!
The figure in the black robe, having lost the protection of the warriors, now stands alone on the battlefield, surrounded by layers of warriors from the Huaxia nation, appearing exceedingly solitary and vulnerable
Regarding the state of the battle, Su Jian looked on in astonishment
Xiao Ning shouted fiercely as he lunged at the shadow. Others may not understand, but as an admirer of Xiao Ning, Su Jian was well aware that this Lieutenant Xiao not only commanded with confidence but also possessed swordsmanship that was truly extraordinary.
However, when Su Jian merely blinked, he saw that Xiao Ning was now in such a state: a promising new star had already fallen beside a pile of corpses. His vacant eyes stubbornly gazed towards the sky, his chest had been shattered, and his abdomen had split open. His internal organs, including liver, gallbladder, intestines, and stomach, were spilled all over the ground along with congealed blood, presenting a scene that was not only tragic but also extremely humiliating
Su Jian had always believed that those sudden twists that arrived at the last moment only occurred in scripts and stories; therefore, when a shadow rushed towards Xiao Ning with lightning speed, Su Jian was still in a daze and completely failed to react.
Therefore, when he saw that his side had only lost more than sixty Qinglong Army soldiers and three or four Xingliu warriors, he let out a long sigh of relief. In his view, the mission had been very successful and was undoubtedly a great victory
The sudden flash of the sword, sharp as lightning, venomous as a snake, shone and darted through the dense forest
It is no wonder that Su Jian was terrified. The previous battle was so arduous and lasted for quite a long time; yet just a moment ago, in the brief instant from being stunned to regaining his senses, a bloody massacre had already occurred! Moreover, the casualties on our side were surprisingly not less than those in the recent fierce battle!
It has finally come to an end. Watching Brother Xiao prepare to unveil the true identity of the cloaked figure, Su Jian also felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body and mind
