Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 51: When I'm Alone, I'm the Strongest

"set fire!"

After the deputy captains of each team voted by raising their hands, the minority obeyed the majority, and finally everyone decided to set fire to the peach blossom forest.

Lu Ming abstained from voting, but he respected everyone's choice. However, as wisps of flames rose from all over the peach blossom forest, his uneasiness grew even more intense.

He turned around to look at Cao Yangbo and other captains from the military, only to find that they had silently taken out a square handkerchief and covered their mouths and noses.

When Cao Yangbo saw him looking at him, he even smiled meaningfully.

"Peach trees are poisonous, be careful!"

Lu Ming immediately realized that something was wrong. He shouted to everyone and then ordered the members of Team Bingjiu to quickly tear off their clothes to cover their mouths and noses.

Some people from other teams also reacted, but most people did not realize the seriousness of the consequences.

The peach blossom forest burned very quickly. In less than a cup of tea, the flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke spread forward, but the air was filled with a lingering sweet fragrance.

"Retreat quickly!"

The sweet smell makes you feel dizzy as soon as you take a sip.

Lu Ming took two deep breaths, his body feeling slightly sore, but his super-adaptive evolutionary ability quickly adapted to the toxicity.

This toxicity was too mild for him, and even without superpowers, he could metabolize it quickly.

Everyone panicked and began to swarm back. But no matter how fast people moved, the smell could not be as fast as it spread.

As a large number of peach trees were burned, a strong and even somewhat pungent fragrance enveloped the entire area. The moment they moved more vigorously, they felt the poison spread faster and they fell to the ground one by one.

Lu Ming turned around and found that although the members of his team were in a mess, they had covered their mouths and noses in advance and had not been knocked down yet. He then directed everyone to continue retreating.

It was obvious that the captains of the armed forces had long known that there was something wrong with the peach trees here, but they did not speak out to remind them. They wanted to teach these new recruits a lesson with reality.

On the battlefield, any decision must be made with extreme caution, otherwise an entire army may be destroyed.

This lesson was undoubtedly profound and heavy. Many candidates who collapsed on the ground had despair on their faces. If the enemy rushed out at this time, they would all die!

But what you fear will come true. As the fire started to burn and the thick smoke billowed, the Huitian believers in the mountain stronghold actually took the initiative to come out of the stronghold to fight.

They each wore a hideous mask and a strange bone armor lined with white linen, giving off a wild and bloodthirsty aura.

A small number of people at the scene had not been poisoned because they reacted promptly, but they were no longer able to form a formation.

"Those who are still able to fight, gather together and form a temporary battle formation!"

"Team C, nine, form a cone formation to buy time for our comrades."

Lu Ming quickly gave orders. He only had the obligation to remind the other teams, and that was all he could do.

Everyone in Team C9 quickly formed a line. Since they trusted Lu Ming the most, they had covered their mouths and noses early on. Although they still accidentally ingested some poison gas, their physiques were enough to metabolize it.

Everyone quickly stood behind Lu Ming, and the two sides behind him expanded layer by layer, forming a cone-like shape.

"rush!"

Lu Ming threw away his shield and raised his long sword with both hands. In the sunlight, the blade shone coldly.

He stood at the arrow's position, and he didn't need any defense. He wanted to penetrate the enemy's ranks like a real arrow!
Only attack, no defense!
Lu Ming took the lead, and the team behind him moved forward with him to face the enemy.

"Thorn."

Gazing forward, he swung his long sword, without any fanfare. A single flash of cold light passed, and a figure was smoothly split in two. Blood, heat, a stench, and the remains of limbs.

Lu Ming was the first to charge into the enemy's ranks. The long sword in his hand erupted into a cloud of phantoms, instantly severing several people's bodies. He was the sharpest point of the arrow, piercing into the enemy's formation.

He was still charging forward, and the people behind him held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, continuously draining blood from the enemy formation.

"Change formation!"

Lu Ming quickly passed through the crowd, and the entire team also changed accordingly, with the head and tail immediately switching places.

He started the second round of charge.

In his hands, an ordinary standard long sword became a deadly weapon. Anyone in front of him would be killed if he was touched, and would be injured if he touched him.

"This new guy is really fierce."

On a high slope in the distance, Jiang Taiyan was followed by a dozen personal guards, all of whom were paying close attention to the development of the situation on the scene.

He knew about the fire in the peach blossom forest from the beginning, and it was even an outcome he could guide.

"He's a good seedling. I heard he's a disciple of Wujingtang. Not many of those martial arts monsters are willing to take the imperial examination."

Everyone already knew about Lu Ming's information.

"Yes, he's a good talent, but do you know what I admire most about him?"

Jiang Taiyan also showed a faint smile on his face. Even if they only recruited this one person in this college examination, they would have made a big profit.

"I know his strength. If he wanted to, he could kill all the Huitian believers by himself. But he chose to restrain himself and chose to share the credit."

"A genius who fights alone is not to be feared; a general who knows how to show kindness to his subordinates can go further."

Jiang Taiyan looked into the distance, his eyes filled with unstoppable admiration.

As they watched, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

Several warriors from Team C9 suddenly felt their legs go weak and fell to the ground, while the others also turned pale and their bodies trembled.

It turned out that even though they covered their mouths and noses, as the battle intensified, the toxicity in the air continued to penetrate into their bodies, and everyone finally couldn't hold on.

"Deputy Captain, I'm so sorry."

Everyone felt extremely guilty. They had already held Lu Ming back, and now they didn't even have the chance to fight with him until the very end.

"Everyone, you've worked very hard."

Lu Ming smiled and raised the long sword in his hand. This ordinary standard long sword was now full of gaps.

More Huitian believers gathered around, forming a circle and trapping Lu Ming in the middle.

"But what I want to say is that I am at my strongest when I am alone."

Lu Ming laughed heartily, the long sword in his hand swirling in his palm, a cold light suddenly bursting out. He spun around like a top, and the long sword in his hand also spun, as if he were holding a bright moon in his palm.

The moonlight poured down, flowed to the earth, and sprinkled on all living beings.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Only the first few Huitian believers were seen. Countless fine knife marks suddenly appeared on their armor, and then their flesh and blood exploded like fish scales, blood spurted out, and their breath stopped in the blink of an eye.
