Chapter 674 - Chapter 129: The Might of the Sword Saint!_3

When facing true top-tier powerhouses on the battlefield, you have only two choices. One is to dispatch a dedicated force to stall and exhaust them. The other is to deploy your own powerful combatants for a trade-off. The former requires soldiers who are fearless and willing to sacrifice their lives, essentially using bodies to fill the gap. However, these rebel guards were clearly incapable of such a feat. If the Sword Saint encountered the Shengle Army, even if he slew fifty cavalrymen with a single strike, the next fifty would quickly fill their places, followed by batch after batch. It would become a pure war of attrition. Before five hundred riders were lost, the Sword Saint would undoubtedly be exhausted to death. No matter how strong he was, he was still human. Moreover, swordsmen differed from martial artists; they lacked an inexhaustible flow of vital energy and a formidable physique for support. What they truly excelled at was single combat.
