Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1498: Chapter 1442: Forcefully Breaking the Huns’ Formation

”Ding!” A violent clang resounded, and even though his Inner Qi was mostly suppressed by the Cloud Qi, Zhang Fei still burst through the air, the sonic boom shaking away all the surrounding soldiers.

The Luandi Marquis only felt a numbness in his hands, but before he could counterattack, Zhang Fei’s Serpent Spear swept towards him again. The immense force sent over this time even caused his tiger’s mouth to crack open.

”The fourth strike!” Zhang Fei’s tiger-like eyes widened, and the White Tiger Aura behind him faintly emerged.

At this moment, with a tremor, the Serpent Spear exploded with endless might, not giving the Luandi Marquis any chance to retaliate. It struck his Long Spear once again; although blocked, the formidable power directly numbed his arms, causing his warhorse’s forelegs to buckle and kneel on the ground.

”Die!” Zhang Fei’s thundering voice erupted, and the Serpent Spear thrust straight into the opponent’s chest. The powerful momentum, along with the force hidden within, suddenly exploded at this moment, piercing straight through the Luandi Marquis from chest to stomach, leaving a large bowl-sized hole directly on his chest!

After Zhang Fei impaled his opponent with the Serpent Spear, he lifted it upward naturally, and the Luandi Marquis’s body was directly hung on the more than one-zhang long spear shaft. With five moves, Zhang Fei killed a top-level master with Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation, all the pent-up frustration in his chest was completely released along with the final roar.

The Essence, Qi, and Spirit, which originally felt void from exertion, ascended to a higher level along with that roar of momentum.

”Hmph, trash!” Zhang Fei stood alone and unchallenged, the body of the Luandi Marquis hanging on the Serpent Spear. At this moment, the surrounding slaughter paused suddenly. Casually, Zhang Fei flung the opponent’s body off the spear shaft, and said with a cold sneer.

”General’s Divine Might!” Someone shouted, and immediately all the Tugi Cavalry under Zhang Fei roared in response, their originally towering momentum becoming even more magnificent, while the morale of the Huns’ cavalry, which had already been suppressed by Zhang Fei’s Tugi Cavalry, fell almost instantly.

Without the Legion Talent of the Luandi Marquis, without the grand aura led by the Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation, there were only the ordinary Hun cavalry, terrified by Zhang Fei’s intimidation.

At this moment, Zhang Fei clearly felt the changes inside him. The Precious Steed beneath him seemed to understand Zhang Fei’s mood, surged forward at full speed, and Zhang Fei swung the Serpent Spear with fury, crazily slashing the main force of the Northern Huns.

”Not good, everyone, follow me to block the opponent!” Xubo Cheng had been reorganizing the troops with all his might as the Luandi Marquis charged at Zhang Fei, hoping to suppress Zhao Yun in advance. After all, if the Hun Guards could catch the White Horse of Zhao Yun head-on, it might only take one charge to disrupt the formation of the White Horse.

Unexpectedly, before Xubo Cheng could dispatch troops to press Zhao Yun out of attack range, he heard an overwhelming cheer from behind. Turning around, he saw the Luandi Marquis hanging on the muscular man’s Serpent Spear. Xubo Cheng was truly stupefied at that instant.

Though his relationship with the Luandi Marquis wasn’t good, both he and the Luandi Marquis were the most important warriors of the Northern Huns. Whether it was Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation martial prowess or the Legion Talent that enabled their subordinates to calmly face attacks and make optimal retaliations, they were vital components of the Northern Huns’ combat power. Yet he died here just like that.

How can this be tolerated? The Northern Huns only have five individuals with Legion Talent. Even if others possess Inner Qi Manifestation, how can they be called ”Kings” like them? But now, one of the Northern Huns’ ”Kings” has died in battle!

”All forces attack, avenge the deceased King!” Xubo Cheng roared, putting any personal grievances with the Luandi Marquis aside in light of this national feud. Under such circumstances, personal grievances could be entirely discarded.

Though the Northern Huns have been fugitives for so many years, although many things have changed, some things remain unchanged: the twenty-four leaders still lead ten thousand riders, but now the Northern Huns can gather only twenty-four leaders, but not twenty-four ten-thousand cavalrymen.

They have only seventy thousand Northern Huns direct cavalry, and of the five Kings with Legion Talent and Inner Qi Manifestation, each has ten thousand under their command. The remaining twenty thousand are for others to allocate; therefore, a King’s loss is an unbearable pain for the Northern Huns.

Though the title of King no longer requires pure bloodline or surname as before, the current requirements are even harder to meet; every King must be a true Inner Qi Manifestation.

Xubo Cheng, filled with rage, directly led all the Huns’ main forces and the Chanyu’s Imperial Guards towards Zhang Fei. As for the other Miscellaneous Huns, Xubo Cheng deemed them unimportant; as long as the Northern Huns’ strength could be assured, the number of Miscellaneous Huns mattered not.

Once Zhang Fei charged into the Northern Hun formation, Zhao Yun had no worries at all. The White Horse Soldiers made no redundant moves and began killing the Miscellaneous Huns with full force, weakening the overall military momentum of the Northern Huns.

After Zhang Fei killed the Luandi Marquis, he began frantically slaying the opposing Hun cavalry, whether miscellaneous soldiers or Leaders of a Thousand, or even higher-ranking Officers; in any case, all he encountered were slain, until he confronted Xubo Cheng.

”Ding!” Zhang Fei’s Serpent Spear aimed at an Officer was blocked by Xubo Cheng. Zhang Fei licked his lips, ”Another one!”

Xubo Cheng looked at Zhang Fei coldly without any further words. The Chanyu’s Imperial Guards behind him surged towards Zhang Fei’s Tugi Cavalry. This time, Zhang Fei’s Legion Talent showed no effect; in just a brief encounter, many cavalrymen behind Zhang Fei were unhorsed.

With the obstruction of the Chanyu’s Imperial Guards, the previously scattered Hun cavalry also had a chance to catch their breath. Some even saw their own massive army pinning down Zhang Fei’s soldiers and turned back, the combat quality of the Huns was indeed commendable.

After Zhang Fei and Xubo Cheng faced off, neither spoke much, both launched attacks towards each other. Xubo Cheng’s strength was roughly on par with the Luandi Marquis, but Zhang Fei had expended significant effort killing a top-tier Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation master in five moves.

Fortunately, after killing the Luandi Marquis, Zhang Fei’s momentum surged, although his Essence, Qi, and Spirit fell short compared to Xubo Cheng, he still overpowered Xubo Cheng, relying on sheer momentum.

However, Zhang Fei’s situation soon turned precarious. The Hun Guards, relying on their Military Spirit Will, disregarded Zhang Fei’s intimidation. Their powerful combat abilities halted the frontal decline of the battle in just one incense stick’s time, yet Zhang Fei couldn’t open the situation from Xubo Cheng’s side, causing the assault of Zhang Fei’s Legion to come to a halt.

As a result, the previously oppressed Hun cavalry, under the guidance of the Northern Huns Guards, gradually regained momentum, even restoring their former combat capabilities. On the other hand, the grand momentum of Zhang Fei’s side stalled, leading to slight anxiety.

Originally, the Northern Huns in cavalry field battles were not inferior to the Han Dynasty. Under the leadership of the Northern Huns Guards, they steadily regained their footing and began to counterattack Zhang Fei’s Tugi Cavalry. Zhang Fei’s division, initially inferior in numbers, suffered a steep loss in forces in this raw battlefield competition.
