"Walk!"
Yuan Shao roared and, disregarding everything else, shoved aside his personal guards and took advantage of the opening to dart like a cunning rabbit towards the wasteland outside the camp.
If we don't run now, we may never have another chance.
Seeing this, Yun Xinrou's sneer deepened. She gently pulled on the reins, and the warhorse seemed to sense its master's intention, instantly accelerating and chasing after the horse like an arrow.
At the same time, she had already drawn her longbow to its fullest extent, the arrow tip aimed at Yuan Shao's back, waiting for that moment to arrive.
"Ding! Yun Xinrou's skill, Heavenly Arrow, has been activated!"
Heavenly Arrow: The top-tier skill for archer generals, evolved from the Flying Arrow and Divine Arrow skills. The effect varies depending on the character using the skill.
Effect 1: When fighting with a bow and arrow, attack power increases by 5.
Effect 2: When using rapid-fire arrows against an enemy, each arrow instantly increases attack power by 2, up to a maximum of five arrows.
Effect 3: When facing melee enemies, if their base attack power is lower than yours, there is a certain chance that one of their melee-type negative skill effects will be nullified. Note: The greater the difference in base attack power between the two sides, the greater the probability of this skill effect being successfully activated.
Yun Xinrou's current base attack power is 106, her weapon is the Azure Cloud Divine Bow (+1), her battlefield weapon is the Thousand Mile Cloud Smoke Steed (+1), her Heavenly Arrow effect 1 is +5, and effect 2 activates twice, increasing her attack power by 4. Her current attack power has risen to 117!
Yuan Shao ran incredibly fast, but Yun Xinrou's arrows were even faster. Just as Yuan Shao was about to step into the wasteland and thought he was about to escape, two arrows flew in tandem, whistling through the air, and struck his left and right shoulders with perfect accuracy.
Yuan Shao felt a sharp pain, his body swayed involuntarily, and he almost fell to the ground.
He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and continued running forward, with only one thought in his mind: "Survive!"
Those who had originally followed Yuan Shao as his personal guards and retainers, seeing their master in danger, stepped forward to try to stop Yun Xinrou's pursuit.
But they were no match for the Cangyun Bow God. In just a few rounds, they were forced to retreat step by step by Yun Xinrou's rain of arrows, and some even fell into pools of blood.
But during the brief moment they tried to stop him, Yuan Shao took advantage of the chaos and managed to escape into the wilderness, disappearing into the night.
...
Meanwhile, Yuan Shu was utterly exhausted. His once lofty and noble demeanor was now replaced by endless panic and despair.
He staggered along, and the worshippers around him were all exhausted, their breathing heavy and labored, as if even the air itself was against them.
Finally, after repeated chases and escapes, Yuan Shu and his retainers were forced to the edge of the camp.
Ahead lay a dense forest, and behind them were pursuers; they had nowhere to escape.
Yuan Shu was panting heavily, his chest heaving like a bellows, sweat and tears mingling and sliding down his cheeks, blurring his vision.
He looked around and saw that the Yuan family retainers who had once been loyal to him were now exhausted, their eyes filled with deep fear.
"Don't panic on the highway!"
At this critical moment, a deep, resonant voice, like a bell, pierced through the clamor of the battlefield and rang in Yuan Shu's ears like heavenly music.
"Ding! Yuan Hong's Ape Saint skill activated!"
Yuan Hong's current base martial strength is 108, his weapon is the Qi Water and Fire Staff (+1), his warhorse is the Breaking Army (+1), and his skill "Ape God" has two effects (+10 martial strength) and three effects (+5 martial strength), bringing his current martial strength to 125!
Yuan Shu suddenly looked up and saw a figure descending from the sky like a divine soldier, holding a black iron rod that emitted a faint glow of water and fire. It was none other than Yuan Hong, the only general in the Red Imperial Army who had also been scattered by the army!
At this moment, Yuan Hong's simple Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, and the iron rod in his hand, called "Sky Pillar" or "One Qi Water and Fire Staff," seemed to have come alive in his hands, radiating a chilling aura.
"Hmph, who dares to presume that the Yuan family has no one to rely on!"
Yuan Hong snorted coldly, and with a swift movement, he appeared in front of Yuan Shu like a ghost, protecting him behind him.
Meanwhile, Yang Yin, the Soul-Destroying War God among the Thunder Dragon Riders, was leading his troops in hot pursuit of Yuan Shu, and it seemed he was about to seize this great achievement.
Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere. The moment Yang Yin saw the One Qi Water and Fire Staff, his heart skipped a beat, his brows furrowed, and he stared intently at Yuan Hong in front of him, tightening his grip on the Dragon Spear, ready to fight.
Having followed Nangong Tianxia to the Yanzhou battlefield for so long, Yang Yin was naturally familiar with Yuan Hong, the strongest general in the Chiyu Army, and even knew that he was no match for him.
"Hmph, remnants of the Yuan family, today is your death day!"
But now that they had met in the midst of the chaos, Yang Yin had no reason to turn and run. He let out a cold shout, leaped up, and thrust his dragon spear, carrying a sharp aura, straight at Yuan Hong's heart.
"Ding! Yang Yin's skill Blood Kill has been activated!"
Effect 1: When this skill effect is activated, Strength +6.
Effect 2: Fight to the death. After being injured, regardless of the severity of the injury, your own martial prowess increases by 3; if you are slightly injured, your own martial prowess increases by 4; if you are seriously injured, your own martial prowess increases by 5.
Effect 3: Fearless and with an inextinguishable bloodlust, this reduces the morale of all enemies within a 50-meter radius by a certain amount.
Yang Yin's current base attack power is 106, his weapon is the Soul-Destroying Blood Spear (+1), his warhorse is the Blood Cloud War Steed (+1), and his Blood Slaughter effect is +6, bringing his current attack power to 114!
He used all his strength in this attack; facing a heavyweight opponent like Yuan Hong, he dared not be careless in the slightest.
However, Yuan Hong was no easy man.
He sneered, and with a slight flick of his water-fire staff, the staff's shadow, like a mountain, instantly enveloped Yang Yin's dragon spear.
With a flick of his wrist, Yuan Hong unleashed a surge of powerful energy from the tip of his staff, like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.
"Ding! Due to the darkness of the night, Yuan Hong's skill Ape Saint Effect 6 is activated!"
Effect Six: Star Lord's Might. As one of the Four Wasted Star Lords, Yuan Hong can draw upon the power of the stars on the battlefield. Every time night falls, his martial prowess automatically increases by 3 points, and the probability and effect of skill activation are also enhanced.
Yuan Hong's martial prowess has increased by 3 again, reaching 128!
Yang Yin felt a tremendous force coming from him, his arm went numb, and Yuan Hong swept his dragon spear away with a single blow. Under this force, Yang Yin was also swept off his warhorse and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"What?!"
Yang Yin exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.
As one of the best of the Razer Dragon Riders, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
But the strength of Yuan Hong before him far exceeded his expectations.
