Chapter 43 Tang Zhong vs. Qin Shi
However, Tang Zhong, who had fought Meng Huwang to a standstill several times, was no pushover either. He rode a black iron steed, its horseshoes clattering on the ground like the beating of war drums, giving off an unstoppable aura.
The two horses galloped towards each other, kicking up a cloud of dust.
He pulled hard on the reins, and the Iron Steed Thousand Miles Horse's front hooves left the ground, pressing down on the Qin Lion like a mountain.
At the same time, he gripped both hammers tightly, smashing one down on Qin Shi's head and sweeping the other across his waist.
"Ding! Tang Zhong's skill, Copper Hammer, is activated!"
Copper Hammer: A skill exclusive to the Copper Hammer General.
Effect 1: Increases attack power by 8 after activation.
Effect 2: It has a certain suppressive effect on the Iron Hammer skill and has a chance to seal the Iron Hammer skill.
Effect 3: Can be combined with any number of characters possessing the Golden Hammer, Silver Hammer, or Iron Hammer skills to form the "Four Fierce Warriors and Eight Great Hammers" combo.
"Ding! Tang Zhong's current base strength is 106, weapon: Lazy Dragon Hammer +1, warhorse: Iron Steed Thousand Mile Steed +1, copper hammer effect activated, strength +8, Tang Zhong's current strength value rises to 116."
Qin Shi's eyes were sharp and he showed no fear whatsoever.
He brandished his broadsword, which transformed into a curtain of cyan light. He first blocked the bronze hammer above his head, then turned his body to the side, skillfully dodging the horizontal sweep from his waist.
He then swung his broadsword, and a sharp blade of energy shot out, heading straight for Tang Zhong's face.
Tang Zhong's eyes sharpened, and with a flick of his wrists, he raised a hammer high, blocking the blade's energy.
But the sword energy was so strong that it even made his hundreds-of-pounds copper hammer vibrate.
He secretly admired the sharpness of Daofeng's broadsword, which further strengthened his resolve to defeat his opponent.
The two horses passed each other again, and Tang Zhong and Qin Shi switched places.
This time, Tang Zhong did not rush to make a move, but instead kept a close eye on Qin Shi.
He knew that the Green Lion's broadsword was not only extremely sharp, but also incredibly powerful, and he absolutely must not let it get close.
Although his twin hammers are heavy, they are incredibly powerful, and their advantage lies in long-range attacks.
"Ha! Yellow Turban rebels, come again!"
Seeing that Qin Shi's expression had become slightly more serious, Tang Zhong shouted and once again swung the Lazy Dragon Hammer in his hand, urging his horse forward.
"Ding! Tang Zhong's skill 'Rock Solid' activated!"
Panshan: as firm as a rock, as solid as a mountain
Effect: In a one-on-one duel, increases your own attack power by 4 points and reduces the enemy's attack power by half of the same value. Note: For every 1 point increase in base attack power, this skill's attack power increase/decrease will randomly increase by 1 point.
Tang Zhong's current martial prowess is 116, increased by 4 to 120, while Qin Shi's martial prowess is reduced by 2 points.
Qin Shi's current combat strength has decreased to 117.
Tang Zhong's twin hammers slammed down like two mountains, carrying unparalleled power.
Each swing of the hammer seemed to shatter the heavens and earth.
Meanwhile, Qin Shi's broadsword was like a bolt of lightning, slicing through the sky with extreme sharpness.
The two weapons clashed in mid-air, producing a deafening sound, as if Thor were roaring.
With each collision, two powerful earth dragons and a blue lion seemed to collide and roar behind the two.
"Ding! Qin Shi's skill, Azure Lion, has been activated again!"
The first effect of the Azure Lion skill has been activated for the third time, increasing attack power by 5. Currently, it is suppressed by Tang Zhong's skill. The second effect has been activated, increasing attack power by 1, bringing the current attack power to 123.
The two moved faster and faster, dazzling the eyes.
Every collision was terrifying.
The two figures danced and twirled through the dust, their weapons clashing in the air and creating dazzling sparks.
The earth trembled, and the air burned.
A fierce battle was taking place in the center of the battlefield.
They were truly evenly matched, and the two fought for more than twenty rounds without a clear winner.
At first, Tang Zhong felt he could handle the situation with ease, but as the fight progressed, Qin Shi began to exert his full strength, constantly unleashing his true abilities, with streams of azure energy emanating from his body.
This caused the azure lion of qi behind Qin Shi to slowly solidify, roaring towards the sky.
Both were manifestations of qi, but it was clear that even though Tang Zhong had used his true abilities and unleashed two skills in succession, it was still more powerful.
However, the earth-yellow dragon image behind it is much thinner than the green lion image of Qin Shi.
However, Qin Shi has only unleashed his first skill so far.
"Damn it, we misjudged him! This unfamiliar Yellow Turban bandit general actually has such abilities!"
Tang Zhong thought to himself.
However, Tang Zhong had been famous for many years before the Great Qian Dynasty and was known as the Copper Hammer Earth Dragon. He was able to make a great name for himself in the Great Qian Dynasty, so he must have some skills. He had even unleashed a skill suppression effect before.
"You wicked general! You possess considerable skill, yet you willingly choose to be a wicked bandit, wreaking havoc in this region. Why is that?"
As he spoke, Tang Zhong's Lazy Dragon Hammer unleashed a thick, earthy-yellow aura, and with an unparalleled killing intent, it slammed down on Qin Shi.
"Clang!"
Both of them were powerful battlefield warriors, and sparks flew when they clashed!
Seeing that his first move had no effect on Qin Shi, Tang Zhong immediately changed his tactics, suddenly lowered his body, and swept his hammer towards Qin Shi's waist!
If Qin Shi were to be hit by a hammer blow, even he would suffer internal organ displacement on the spot!
But Qin Shi narrowed his eyes, his broadsword flashing coldly. He deflected the copper hammer and swung it back at Tang Zhong's head, startling Tang Zhong into immediately withdrawing his hammer and defending.
"Ding! Qin Shi's skill Power Overwhelm is activated!"
Might Dominator: The undisputed master of strength, invincible. (The effect of this skill varies depending on the user.)
Effect 1: Increases attack power by 1 when wielding any weapon; increases attack power by an additional 1 when wielding a divine weapon.
Effect 2: Ultimate Power. This effect increases attack power by 3 upon activation, by 2 upon activation a second time, and by 1 upon activation a third time. It can only be activated a maximum of three times.
Effect 3: When facing an opponent weaker than yourself, reduce your martial prowess by 1-5 points depending on the opponent's strength. This effect is suitable for both one-on-one and group battles.
"Ding! Qin Shili Ba skill effect one activated, martial power +2, effect two activated, martial power +3, current martial power increased to 128."
"Hahaha, you old bastard, die!"
As Qin Shi looked at his opponent, a surge of violence welled up within him, and the Azure Lion Devouring Heaven Blade in his hand grew ever more ferocious in battle.
Fighting Tang Zhong was much more enjoyable than sparring with his second and third brothers.
After all, sparring shouldn't involve killing, which frustrated the naturally violent Qin Shi for a long time.
Now, facing Tang Zhong, an enemy general in the early stages of the War God realm, he can finally unleash his full power without having to hold back like when sparring with his second and third brothers.
"hateful!"
Tang Zhong cursed under his breath, but he could only calmly deal with the situation.
In the beginning, Tang Zhong was able to hold his own against Qin Shi, who was new to the battlefield, by relying on his rich experience in battle, and even felt that he had a chance of winning.
But as the fierce battle continued, after another twenty rounds, Tang Zhong seemed to feel that things were not quite the same.
Qin Shi showed no signs of weakness; on the contrary, he fought with increasing ferocity, gradually turning the initial evenly matched situation into one where he could dominate Qin Shi.
He is quickly adapting to battlefield combat!
At this moment, Tang Zhongcai was annoyed to find that the enemy general named Qin Shi was getting more and more excited as the fight went on. The power of his sword strikes did not diminish at all, and the speed was even better than at the beginning. One strike after another, they were interlocked, like an overwhelming wave, continuous and unstoppable.
