Amazed, thousands of troops raised their heads and saw that the black light flashed across the sky and soon disappeared into the distance.

At this moment, Chen Ling's pained groan was heard.

"Ouch... My hand!"

It was at this moment that those soldiers and officers collected themselves.

"Get the medic here."

After the order was issued, a medic hurriedly came.

However, an amazed and solemn look appeared on the medic's face after he performed a medical examination. "His bones broke under that palm strike. I'm afraid Deputy General Chen won't be able to use this arm again."

Chen Ling, who was sweating buckets due to the sharp pain, paled visibly on hearing the medic's words and almost sat up from the ground.

"What? What did you say? I'm disabled?" As if panic-stricken, Chen Ling said emotionally, "No. I want to fight side by side with the General-in-chief. I can't lose my arm. Medic, help me, please."

"Deputy General Chen, I'm really sorry, but there's nothing I can do... Alas... "

On hearing Chen Ling's begging, the medic sighed and shook his head.

"Medic, is the wound in Deputy General Chen's arm really incurable?" Yun Lengyi furrowed his forehead. He had never expected that that girl was so ruthless.

The medic stood up, walked forward and shook his head. "General-in-chief, in some cases, broken bones can be cured. But all the bones of his arm fractured. Even if he is cured, I'm afraid he would never be able to use a sword again."

Hearing this, Chen Ling instantly felt as if he was thrown into h.e.l.l.

Despair glinting in his eyes, he clamped his left hand on his right arm which was aching intensely, and which he could control no more.

As a service man, without his arm, how was he supposed to fight? How was he supposed to serve his country?

Wasn't he now good-for-nothing?

Anger surged through all generals present as they heard the medic's words.

"That black-faced girl disabled Deputy General Chen. She's so vicious... "

"G.o.d d.a.m.n it. We should have stabbed her to death just now."

"What a ruthless girl... "

"... "

Yun Lengyi's face was also sullen.

He had seen his deputy general disabled before his very eyes but there was nothing he could do. He clenched his fists tightly...

"General, look at that dagger," Wen Yu suddenly said in a deep, surprised voice.

Looking in the direction that he was pointing in, those generals found that the dagger was still sticking upright in the ground.

"What was the fuss about? It's just a dagger!"

However, before the general's voice died away.

"Crack!"

A faint snap was heard and with that the dagger, along with its hilt, broke into numerous pieces which then scattered onto the ground.

All pieces were very even.

One needed precise control of one's spiritual power to do this.

Which one of these generals present was capable of making a dagger break into even pieces like that?

Even Yun Lengyi probably couldn't do that.

At this moment, a breeze blew by.

Beneath the gaze of all people present, those pieces of the dagger turned into wind element and instantly disappeared into the air.

Everybody's pupils abruptly contracted, astonishment gleaming in them.

"That was not a real dagger... "

"It was a wind blade formed of wind element!"

"How was that possible? She actually condensed wind element into a tangible weapon... "

"Who was that black-faced girl exactly... "

A look of terror flashed across those generals' faces.

Yun Lengyi frowned, as if he also hadn't expected that that dagger was formed of wind element.

Surprised as Wen Yu was, he was more puzzled.

"General-in-chief, judging from that girl’s words, there seems to be some kind of relation between you two. You really have no impression of her?"
