[You decide to break out, but the world doesn't revolve around you. Whether you succeed or not depends on the strength of the enemy's resistance!]
[Unfortunately, the one stopping you is a demonized captain: his strength and physique are comparable to a martial artist empowered by his energy, though his movements are a bit clumsy, but his combat power is still at the level of a martial artist.]
[Surrounded by a crowd of people, you look outside the village. Two or three hundred demonized soldiers, expressionless faces, form a defensive line. If you try to break out, you'll be quickly stopped and attacked, and then the demonized captain, who's staring at you intently, will catch up from behind...]
[Attacked from both sides, there is no chance of survival! ]
[And if you look at other battle zones, almost every warrior faces demonized enemies that are far more powerful. The chances of others breaking free and creating chaos to create favorable conditions for you are practically zero.]
[Then we can only fight to the death. ]
You let out a long roar and drew out the Zhanming Sword, which had accompanied you for over thirty years. This sword had actually been reshaped several times over the past thirty years. A hint of blue shone on the blade, as you had imbued it with the color of your energy over the years, transforming it into your own color.
You are fifty-seven years old this year, with a martial arts cultivation level at the top of the first-rate range. It's the perfect age for a breakthrough. Deep blue energy surged like a surging wave. In just a few short exchanges, you used the martial arts skills associated with "Heavenly River Flowing" to unleash your power, effectively defeating the demonized captain by a few steps.
[But after a burst of energy, your strength weakens, and after a third burst, you're exhausted. After such a powerful outpouring of energy, your meridians, blood, and flesh can no longer withstand it. After just a dozen rounds, the demonized captain's spear strikes, and the force is transmitted through the blade to your arm, and then all the way into your body, damaging your internal organs and causing a mouthful of blood to surge up your throat.]
If those top-tier warriors with enhanced internal organs were allowed to fight, their internal organs would have been shattered into a pile of rotten flesh, and they would have fallen to the ground dead, without a single breath left.
[Yet you still have the strength to fight. Deep blue energy like seawater flows within your body, gently wrapping your internal organs like a piece of armor, protecting them while also slowly repairing them.]
[Sword after sword struck, screams echoed all around. There were over 1,200 people in this village, but the vast majority were ordinary people. Only over 100 had reached the second-rate level or above. The demon army could easily crush them with just two or three hundred!]
[Aside from those encircled outside the village, there were nearly three hundred demonized soldiers not idle around, but rather massacring thousands of civilians.]
[After the civilians were slaughtered, the three hundred demonized soldiers also joined in the killing of the warriors, making it an even more desperate situation! ]
[Not far away in the Grandmaster's battlefield, Xu Yinkong had his arm torn off and was being tasted by the Demon Blood. It was playing like a cat playing with a mouse, wanting to kill its target bit by bit.]
[On the brink of life and death, you feel something flowing inside your body. At this moment, you are confused and mechanically block the demonized captain's attacks, vomiting blood, and repeating this over and over again.]
[Many blood vessels burst, blood splattered before my eyes, and my brain was in a state of chaos, but within my abdomen and limbs, a warm current surged forth!]
[Boom! A barrier breaks open, you take a step back, avoiding the demonized captain's attack, and then you discover to your astonishment: the energy in your body spontaneously circulates throughout your body, endlessly, forming a small but continuous stream!]
[You break through in battle and become a martial artist! ]
You were overjoyed, but your sudden increase in strength didn't make you lose your mind. You glanced at the demons, then turned and ran.
[It's not just ordinary running, but using the strong energy to stabilize the body's injuries, and at the same time using the strong energy to catalyze and stimulate life potential, "igniting" oneself and entering a state of explosiveness.]
"Stimulate the body to secrete adrenaline?"
Yunshou thought this should be the method.
As a warrior practices martial arts, his ability to control his body gradually improves, especially since he has practiced martial arts for more than 100 years in total.
Spears and arrows struck you, your life flickering like a dying candle. As you ignored all the hidden injuries and forcibly tore through the defenses to break through, you heard Xu Yinkong's miserable cry from behind.
The screams of pain suddenly stopped. You didn't dare to look back and waste time, so you ran away.
[In the center of Fenglan Village, the Demon Blood One loosened its claws, and Xu Yinkong's headless body fell to the ground. It watched with great interest where you fled, but it was not there.]
[It's just a stray old bug, a small ant that can be easily crushed. Just in time for you to announce their arrival and spread panic into the stray dog kennels of old humans!]
[Three days later, you collapsed to the ground, barely breathing. You were picked up by a warrior from Purple Star Village and taken care of for half a month before you were out of danger. It wasn't until a full month later that you regained consciousness.]
The village doctor couldn't help but praise you: "You're in good health, old man. You can even survive this."
After you regained consciousness, you informed them of your experiences. The Purple Star Village leader sighed and stated that they were now preparing for a step-by-step evacuation deep into the forest.
[To put it simply, once the village in the deepest part of the river has built a new village and people have gradually moved beyond it, the people in the second deepest part of the river will also gradually move to the remaining village in the deepest part of the river.]
[Those unlucky villages on the outskirts need to shoulder the most basic responsibility: monitoring and resisting the demon army.]
[In the seventh year of the Ancient Dynasty, you finally regained your ability to move normally. Although your martial arts skills were not destroyed, the damage to your vitality caused by the breakout and escape six months ago was countless times greater than the damage caused by falling into the water when you were twelve years old!]
[So, you dare to say: You are definitely the best martial artist in the world, weak! ]
Yunshou: "Byd, why are you still a little proud?"
[Speaking of which, the guardian master of Purple Star Village is an acquaintance of yours. Decades ago, when you were 16 years old, you participated in the Youth Talent Competition. The person in charge of the Meteor Sect at the time was a martial artist who was responsible for maintaining order during the competition.]
[When you were 23, you heard that martial artist was a master. I never thought you would meet him again in this village when you are almost 60.]
This Grandmaster's surname is Li Tianbing. Li Tianbing is eighty-six years old. For a Grandmaster who lives to be a hundred years old, this age is not considered old.
You and Li Tianbing reminisce about the past. After the advent of the alien demon, no one knows many people anymore. Meeting someone you met decades ago is a blessing for both of you.
He felt a lingering recollection of the past. Despair value -1. You've met an old master and learned more about the Demonic Alliance.
[In the ninth year of the Ancient Dynasty, on your sixtieth birthday, you had already moved deeper into the Exorcist Forest twice, but the demonic army kept getting closer, and two more villages were destroyed over the years.]
In the 10th year of the Ancient Dynasty, you, along with several other warriors and some talented young warriors, followed Li Tianbing to the "Headquarters" of the Demonic Alliance.
[They said they were going to discuss a major matter and wanted the participation of all the village masters, and even high-level warriors like martial artists.]
