Chapter 502 Ancestral Spirit Protection!
Just as Shangguan Lie was having an in-depth conversation with the Taoist, the situation on the battlefield had reached a fever pitch.
Boom boom boom!
The Eight Trigrams Dragon-Subduing Formation, the binding formation that originally held everyone's hopes, collapsed and disintegrated rapidly like fragile glass amidst several deafening roars.
However, this does not mean the end of the battle, but rather the prelude to another climax.
At this moment, the duel between Lü Guyun and Xiahou Qing was nearing its end.
Xiahou Qing, the once mighty war god of the Dayong Dynasty, now appeared quite disheveled under Lü Guyun's fierce attack.
Every counterattack he launched was neutralized by Lü Guyun's even more ferocious offensive, as if he were trapped in an invisible net, unable to struggle.
Finally, at this critical moment of life and death, Lü Guyun caught a glimpse of hesitation in Xiahou Qing's movements, which was the most fatal flaw in a fighter.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his spear suddenly trembled, unleashing a surge of pure white energy that gathered at the spear tip, forming a dazzling pillar of light.
"Ding! Lü Guyun's skill Guyun effect three has been activated again, increasing martial power by 2 and reducing Xiahou Qing's martial power by 1 point."
When the second effect of the skill "Ten Thousand Blades" is activated, if Lü Guyun discovers an enemy's weakness, he can launch a fatal attack, instantly increasing his own martial power by 5 points.
Lu Guyun's current combat strength has increased to 138!
Xiahou Qing's current martial prowess has dropped to 131!
This shot not only contained Lü Guyun's profound internal strength, but also embodied his belief in victory. It pierced through the sky and went straight for Xiahou Qing's heart!
"break!"
With a deafening roar, the spear soared like a dragon through the heavens, unstoppable.
Despite his best efforts to dodge, Xiahou Qing ultimately could not escape the fate of this earth-shattering blow.
The pure white aura pierced through his protective inner energy, leaving a shocking wound on his chest. Blood gushed out, staining his battle robe red.
However, just when victory seemed within reach, the plot took an unexpected turn.
"Ding! Xiahou Qing is currently severely injured. The skill Corpse Ancestor Effect 4 - Ancestral Spirit Protection is activated. When Xiahou Qing suffers severe injury or fatal damage, he can temporarily be immune to this injury and instantly restore his originally suppressed martial power. At the same time, the effect of the Corpse Ancestor's Might skill is doubled, and his own martial power is increased by an additional 4 points."
Xiahou Qing's current martial prowess has been restored to 134, and his own martial prowess has been increased by an additional 2 points.
Xiahou Qing's current combat strength has increased to 136!
Despite being severely injured, Xiahou Qing did not collapse; instead, he became like a wounded beast, unleashing his ferocity.
He let out a deep and wild roar, and the yellow and black qi raged out like a storm, even more violent and ferocious than before.
This force seemed to be the final burning of his life, a desperate counterattack in his last moments of glory.
"Even if I, Xiahou Qing, die in battle today, I will let heaven and earth know the bravery of my Xiahou clan!"
Xiahou Qing's voice was filled with defiance and tragedy. He looked at Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan not far away, his eyes flashing with a resolute light.
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, standing behind, had a complex mix of emotions in their eyes, a mixture of worry for their elder brother and a burning desire for battle.
"Brother Qing, our Xiahou family has never feared death! Today, let the world witness our brothers fighting side by side!"
Having said that, he brandished his broadsword, and the yellow and black qi resonated with it, forming a force that could not be underestimated, and approached Lü Guyun.
The battlefield was now in complete chaos.
Xiahou Yuan drew his bow and nocked an arrow from the rear. Xiahou Dun, unable to intervene in the battles on the two top battlefields, could only wander around, trying to rescue Xiahou Qing.
Despite being in dire straits, they displayed astonishing teamwork.
With the help of Xiahou Qing's Yellow Springs skill, the group managed to find a moment to catch their breath, even under Lü Guyun's fierce attacks.
Meanwhile, Bian Shenglin's figure drew ever closer, his overwhelming aura as a top-tier war god causing every inch of the battlefield to tremble.
"Hmph, you think you can trap me, Bian Shenglin, with a mere Eight Trigrams Dragon-Subduing Formation?"
His voice was filled with anxiety, and with each step he took, it seemed as if he were stepping on the pulse of heaven and earth, causing tremors.
Faced with this situation, Lü Guyun couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.
He could tell that Xiahou Qing's brief moment of lucidity wouldn't last. He only needed to carefully wear him down for a while, and he could easily take Xiahou Qing's life.
However, the arrival of Bian Shenglin from the rear made the outcome of this battle even clearer.
With him by his side, it would probably be impossible for him to kill Xiahou Qing by force.
"Alas, there are too many variables in today's battle."
Lu Guyun sighed inwardly, his gaze shifting back and forth between Xiahou Qing and Bian Shenglin, trying to find a glimmer of opportunity.
As for the two Xiahou brothers who had been bothering him the whole time, he simply ignored them.
If they were to meet head-on, even two people tied together wouldn't be able to withstand a few of his shots.
However, reality proved cruel, as Xiahou Qing, in his final moments of strength, displayed astonishing combat prowess.
The seamless coordination between him and the two Xiahou clan pendants made it difficult for him to break through for the time being.
"Very well, I'll let you go today, but remember, we will meet again on the battlefield."
Lu Guyun finally made a decision: instead of pursuing them relentlessly, he chose to temporarily back down.
A true war is never determined by the outcome of a single battle, but by long-term planning and strategy.
This time, at least Xiahou Qing was severely injured, and he was forced to use this secret technique that seemed to come at a great cost.
It seems that I won't be able to go to the battlefield for a long time afterward.
This means that in the ensuing battle, the only one who can stop the opposing Dayong army is Bian Shenglin, which will undoubtedly make things much easier.
Overall, it wasn't a complete loss this time.
Therefore, in this thrilling duel, Lü Guyun ultimately chose a more conservative approach.
Under Bian Shenglin's cover, Xiahou Qing and his two brothers fought and retreated, slowly withdrawing from the battlefield.
...
At this time, in the southern border region of the Dayong Dynasty, it was late spring and early summer, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.
In the Jiangdong region of the Dayong Dynasty, the city of Quewang, belonging to Quewang, one of the current kings of Dayong, stands majestically with its towering walls, like a giant dragon coiled around, guarding this bountiful land.
However, this tranquility did not last long. A troop of iron cavalry roared in from Jiangdong, their momentum like thunder, shaking the earth slightly. This was the Jiangdong Chu Army – the "Overlord Cavalry" – which had gradually become famous in the Dayong Dynasty recently!
The Overlord Cavalry was an elite force personally led by Xiang Yu, a rebel leader from Jiangdong during the Dayong Dynasty. Each rider wore heavy black iron armor, which was engraved with intricate cloud and dragon patterns that shone brightly in the sunlight, resembling a leaping black dragon.
Its helmet is shaped like an angry lion, with bright red tassels on its forehead that flutter in the wind, adding to its fierce appearance.
Their mounts were all carefully selected warhorses, with bulging muscles and hooves as fast as the wind. Each warhorse had a "cloud-breaking bell" tied around its neck. As they moved, the bells rang crisply, intertwining with the sound of the horses' hooves to form a war song, foreshadowing conquest and indomitable spirit.
