Chapter 29 Slaying Guodong and Killing Anwei

"Wang Guodong, prepare to die!"

With a roar, Chen Yun spurred his horse like lightning, his gleaming silver spear cutting through the air with a sharp, piercing sound. A surge of blood energy erupted from his body, gathering on the gleaming silver spear in his hand, making the already gleaming spear even more chilling.

[Ding dong, Chen Yun's skill 'White-Robed Ghost General' effect 1 has been activated. After this skill effect is activated, his own leadership +2, intelligence +2, and strength +5;]

Chen Yun's base leadership is 98, base intelligence is 97, base martial prowess is 102, equipment is +2, current leadership value increases to 100, current intelligence value increases to 99, and current martial prowess increases to 109.

"This is the Qi and Blood generating smoke, gathering Qi to form martial arts! You are actually a Heavenly-level fierce general!" Wang Guodong shouted in surprise when he saw the power emanating from Chen Yun, his face filled with shock.

In this world, only those who successfully sense Qi within their bodies and circulate it through a full cycle are qualified to be called martial artists.

Those who reach this level are also called third-rate martial artists.

External martial arts sense blood and qi.

Internal strength refers to sensing true qi.

Once a martial artist has successfully circulated their internal energy and condensed their blood-fiend energy, the next step is to cultivate and strengthen their blood-fiend energy.

This process is divided into three stages based on the level achieved: the Acquired Realm, the Innate Realm, and the Divine General Realm.

In general terms, the Acquired Realm ranges from the third-rate to the super first-rate level. As the blood and evil energy within the body continues to grow stronger, until it overflows and permeates the entire body, one becomes a peak Acquired Realm expert.

This realm also has a rather common name: top-tier expert.

Once a martial artist reaches the top-tier level, they continue to cultivate and refine their Qi, making steady progress along this path until the blood and evil Qi within their body condenses into smoke and reaches the state of leaving the body. This is the mark of becoming a Heaven-level martial artist.

Once a martial artist reaches the Heavenly level, if they wish to advance further, they must refine their Blood Fiend Qi, discarding impurities and tempering their essence. Only then can they reach the realm of Gathering Qi to Form Martial Arts, thereby transforming Blood Fiend Qi into Fiend Essence.

Sword and spear warriors can imbue their weapons with their vital energy, generating a chilling blade light and a fierce spear light, making the weapon an extension of their arm, capable of cutting through gold and jade with ease.

Those who practice unarmed combat can condense bloodthirsty energy in their hands, making their five fingers as strong as steel and iron, thus increasing their power several times over.

That's why Wang Guodong was so shocked when he caught a glimpse of the icy aura swirling around Chen Yunliang's silver spear.

It should be noted that among Heavenly-level martial artists, there are also those who are "fake" or "incompetent." Most of them rely on piling up pills and using secret techniques to quickly achieve mastery, and their blood and evil energy contains a lot of impurities, so they can only reach the level of gathering qi into smoke.

But the person in front of me is clearly not the kind of mediocre person who has been built up by pills. To be able to cultivate to the Qi Gathering and Martial Arts Realm at such a young age is definitely the result of being tempered through countless battles. His combat power is absolutely genuine.

Even so, Wang Guodong suppressed his fear and quickly parried with his spear, trying to block the attack.

With a clang of metal against metal, a tremendous force surged through the spear, making his hands go numb and forcing him to stagger back five or six steps before regaining his balance.

After only one exchange, he knew that with his strength, he was no match for the person before him. However, even so, he still looked up at Chen Yun, his eyes bloodshot, his teeth clenched, and roared, "Today, it's either you or me who dies!"

With that, Wang Guodong brandished his spear and charged forward once more.

[Ding dong, Wang Guodong's skill 'Valiant' effect 1 activated. After this skill effect is activated, his own strength increases by 4, 'Rallying the Army' effect 2 +3, base strength is 98, and his steel spear is increased by 1. Current strength value rises to 106;]

Given Chen Yun's strength, it wouldn't take him long to kill Wang Guodong if he wanted to.

However, a living Wang Guodong is far more valuable than a dead one, which is why he wanted to capture him alive, and that's why the two of them fought each other.

Chen Yun's marksmanship is characterized by its unpredictability, sometimes sweeping and powerful, sometimes cunning and ruthless, making it impossible to defend against.

Wang Guodong's marksmanship, on the other hand, emphasizes fierceness and power; every shot he throws carries the determination to fight to the death.

"court death!"

Faced with the combined attack of two top-tier masters, Chen Yun was also angered.

Since the other party is so ungrateful, there's no need for him to capture them alive; it's just a waste of time.

Upon thinking of this, Chen Yun immediately activated the evil energy within his body.

[Ding-dong, Chen Yun's skill 'Cold Spear' has been activated...]

With the boost from the Cold Spear skill, Chen Yun's strength skyrocketed.

From being evenly matched at the beginning, he went straight to dominating both of them.

After all, any Heavenly-level martial artist whose strength reaches the level of Qi Gathering to Form Martial Arts has basically removed the impurities from the Blood Fiend Qi and transformed it into pure Fiend Essence. The power unleashed by Fiend Essence is far greater than that of ordinary Fiend Qi.

After a few rounds of fighting, Chen Yun had already knocked An Wei off his horse. Without An Wei to restrain him, Wang Guodong was isolated and helpless. How could he possibly withstand Chen Yun? In the end, he was also knocked off his horse by Chen Yun's spear.

"Sigh, what a pity..."

Looking at Wang Guodong, who had collapsed to the ground, Chen Yun put away his gun and stood there, a lingering sense of regret between his brows.

If this man were to surrender on the battlefield, given his position in the Changyang army, the subsequent campaign would become much easier. After taking Laiyang County, his reputation could even be used to conquer several other counties.

Now, without the help of this fierce general, the upcoming siege is less certain and more unpredictable.

Chen Yun wiped the blood from the tip of his spear and said in a deep voice, "Send down the order to clear the battlefield, assemble the troops, and march immediately to Changyang!"
