Chapter 833 God of War vs. Asura!
"Brothers, are you all ready?"
Li Cunxiao turned around and asked loudly. His slightly impassioned voice pierced through the valley and echoed in the ears of every Flying Tiger Cavalry soldier.
"War! War! War!"
The three thousand Flying Tiger Cavalry answered in unison, their voices like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Li Cunxiao nodded in satisfaction, then turned back to the distance.
At this moment, the group of people was getting closer and closer, their flags fluttering in the wind as they rapidly approached Qianyuan City.
"Judging from the banners, they belong to the Phoenix Cry Archery Battalion and the Changlin Imperial Guard of the Great Qian Dynasty."
Xiong Kuohai squinted, carefully observing the distant formation, and then said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao's heart stirred. He had long heard of the reputation of these two troops and knew that they were the elite forces of the Great Qian Dynasty, with extremely strong combat power.
The fact that they appeared at the same time this time suggests that the situation in Qianyuan City has become extremely critical.
"Xiong Kuohai, you lead a thousand Flying Tiger Cavalry to circle around the mountains on the left and outflank them from the rear."
Li Cunxiao pondered for a moment, then whispered the instructions.
"Yes, sir!"
Xiong Kuohai responded, then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the mountains and forests with a thousand Flying Tiger Riders.
"The rest of you brothers, follow me! Right here, let's give the Daqian reinforcements a crushing defeat!"
Li Cunxiao looked at the distant ranks again, then took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
After saying that, he pulled on the reins, and his warhorse immediately neighed and shot off like an arrow.
Three thousand Flying Tiger Cavalry followed closely behind, their thunderous hooves echoing through the air, raising clouds of dust, like a horde of demons from hell rushing toward the distant enemy.
However, just as they were about to rush out of the valley, Li Cunxiao suddenly waved his hand to signal them to stop.
He paused, his gaze sharp as a hawk's, piercing through the dust and locking onto the most conspicuous figure in the slowly approaching group.
The man was clad in blood-red armor, which shone brightly in the sunlight, making him appear like a war god emerging from a sea of blood. He wore a blood-red overcoat and looked majestic.
The halberd in his hand was called the Asura Purgatory Halberd. It gleamed with a cold light and exuded a chilling killing intent. The Asura Blood Steed beneath him thrashed about with its four hooves, each step seemingly treading on a war drum.
"This person's aura is so strong that it's in no way inferior to Yuan Hong, whom I killed that day! He's another top-tier war god at the Qi level!"
A burning fighting spirit flashed in Li Cunxiao's eyes, the kind of excitement one feels when encountering a true powerhouse.
Thinking of this, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but let out a long howl, the sound echoing through the valley.
"Haha, you traitorous general of the Great Qian Dynasty! Do you recognize Li Cunxiao of Iron Cage Mountain?"
As he spoke, the Mo Lin Qianli Hun beneath him seemed to sense its master's fighting spirit. With a sudden thud of its front hooves, it shot out like an arrow, carrying Li Cunxiao's mountain-like body, and sped towards Si Yan and the others.
"Ding! Li Cunxiao's skills Divine General and Flying Tiger have been activated!"
Li Cunxiao's current base martial strength is 110. His weapons, Yuwang Spear and Biyan Claw, grant him +2 martial strength. His warhorse, Molin Qianlihun, grants him +1 martial strength. His skill, General God Effect II, grants +10 martial strength once. He is also in the Charge Formation state. General God Effect III grants +6 martial strength. His skill, Flying Tiger Effect I, grants +5 martial strength.
当前李存孝武力值110+2+1+10+5+5，当前武力值上升至134！」
Si Yan and Yang Yin were traveling at full speed when they suddenly heard a deafening roar from the valley ahead. Immediately afterward, a rider charged out like a whirlwind, followed by thousands of iron cavalry, raising dust and displaying an imposing momentum.
"There's an ambush!"
Yang Yin reacted quickly, shouting a warning at the first opportunity, while gripping the Soul-Destroying Blood Spear tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any moment.
At the same time, Si Yan, who was at the forefront, also became serious instantly. His originally indifferent eyes were instantly drawn to the approaching figure. He stared intently at Li Cunxiao, who was rapidly closing in, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in his heart.
The aura emanating from Li Cunxiao was like a tangible pressure, making it difficult for Li Cunxiao to even circulate his internal energy.
"This person's strength far surpasses mine; his Qi is at its peak! He is definitely a being at the pinnacle of Qi cultivation!"
"There's actually a war god among the Yellow Turban Army with the ultimate in罡气 (罡气 is a type of internal energy)!"
Faced with such a powerful enemy, Si Yan showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a ferocious smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he stared fervently at Li Cunxiao, who was gradually approaching.
As a martial arts fanatic, being able to fight against a stronger opponent than himself is a rare opportunity for Si Yan, and also the ultimate test of his own strength.
Even if we might lose our lives here, so what?
A warrior's destiny is the battlefield, and fighting against the strong is the ultimate glory he seeks!
Moreover, the ultimate level of Qi cultivation was his lifelong pursuit and belief, even if he probably would never have the chance to reach this dreamlike state in this lifetime.
But being able to fight against someone of this level is enough to satisfy Si Yan!
But being able to fight against someone of this level is enough to satisfy Si Yan!
"Yang Yin, this man is beyond your capabilities. You lead the archers of the Phoenix Cry Archery Battalion and find an opportunity to suppress him with a hail of arrows!"
Si Yan took a deep breath, hurriedly gave an order, and then urged his warhorse forward without hesitation. As if sensing its master's determination, the Asura Blood Steed neighed and accelerated forward.
Upon hearing this, Yang Yin nodded and quickly ordered the archers of the Phoenix Cry Archery Battalion to spread out, find favorable terrain, and prepare to deliver a head-on blow to the enemy with a dense rain of arrows.
Although in the face of such a sudden attack, any hesitation could mean death.
However, as one of the most elite forces in the Great Qian Dynasty, a mere surprise attack could not shake their morale.
In the blink of an eye, Li Cunxiao had led his Flying Tiger Cavalry to close in, and the distance between the two sides rapidly closed. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and a major battle was about to break out.
Li Cunxiao held the Yuwang Spear in his right hand and the Biyan Claw in his left, exuding an aura of unparalleled dominance, and let out a loud shout.
"Haha, you traitorous general of the Great Qian Dynasty, do you dare to fight me!"
The sound was deafening, causing the birds and beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests to flee in terror.
"Hmph, you Yellow Turban rebels, don't be so arrogant! The Great Qian Emperor, Si Yan, is here!"
Si Yan sneered, and with a swing of the Asura Purgatory Halberd, the tip of the halberd drew a dazzling arc of light, pointing directly at Li Cunxiao.
Two powerful energies collided in the air, creating tangible waves that spread outwards. Warhorses neighed, dust billowed, and both sides' soldiers were shocked by the force of the attack, but no one retreated; their fighting spirit remained high.
"Ding! Si Yan's skill, Asura, has been unleashed!"
Currently, Si Yan's inner energy has reached a certain peak, and all effects of the skill Shura II are activated, increasing his martial power by 6, 7, and 8, bringing his base martial power to 108. His weapon, Shura Purgatory Halberd, has been upgraded by 1, and his warhorse, Shura Blood Steed, has had its martial power increased by 1.
Si Yan's current combat strength has increased to 131!
