Chapter 95 Unparalleled Divine Skill
Seeing Pan Feng charging towards them on horseback, Yang An and Chen Xiu dared not be careless in the slightest. They immediately focused their attention and assumed a tight defensive stance.
Not long ago, Yang An, Lü Guang, and Xu Cheng joined forces to fight Pan Feng, so they naturally knew that the strength of the person in front of them was far beyond that of an ordinary general.
[Ding-dong, Pan Feng's skill 'Fierce Tiger' has been activated;]
Tiger: A tiger descends the mountain, its majestic power shaking all directions. The specific strength and effects of awakened skills vary from person to person.
Effect 1: After this skill effect is activated, the user's attack power increases by 5;
Effect 2: The more you fight, the stronger you become. Every ten rounds you fight, you can reduce the opponent's strength by one point. This effect can be activated up to three times.
Effect 3: King of Beasts, when leading an army in a charge, increases the combat power, morale, and speed of allied troops...
Pan Feng's current five-dimensional attributes are: Command 89, Strength 105, Intelligence 62, Politics 45, and Charisma 83.
Equipment: Pear Blossom Mountain-Splitting Axe, Dark Cloud Moon-Treading Steed;
Just from this one skill, it's clear that Pan Feng's strength is extraordinary; one round is equivalent to gaining an eight-point increase in combat power.
[Ding-dong, Pan Feng's skill 'Fierce Tiger' effect 1 activated. After this skill effect is activated, his own attack power increases by 5, his base attack power is 105, his equipment power increases by 2, and his current attack power value increases to 112;]
Although Pan Feng's Pear Blossom Mountain-Splitting Axe attacked like a storm, with numerous axe shadows and immense force, he could not gain the upper hand because he had only activated one skill, while Yang An and Chen Xiu had activated all of them.
However, as the battle progressed, Pan Feng became more and more courageous, gradually turning from being outmatched at the beginning to being able to handle the situation with ease.
Just then, a spear, like a black lightning bolt, ripped through the sky and headed straight for Pan Feng's head.
[Ding dong, Xu Cheng's skill 'Valiant' effect 1 is activated. As long as courage is not lost, martial prowess will increase. After this skill effect is activated, the user's martial prowess will increase by three points. It can be activated up to twice in a row.]
Xu Cheng's current martial prowess is +3, base martial prowess is 102, Green Spear +1, Green Mane Horse +1, 'Holy Ruler' +1, 'Elegant Warrior' +1, and his current martial prowess has increased to 109.
Pan Feng was locked in a fierce battle with Yang An and Chen Xiu when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle piercing the air. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark light aimed straight at his face.
He felt a slight chill, but not a trace of panic. He twisted his waist sharply, and his huge body flipped over with the agility of a monkey, causing Xu Cheng's spear to whistle past his hair.
The spearhead swept away several strands of black hair, driving them deep into the soil behind him. The spear shaft continued to vibrate and hum, its residual power still lingering.
"Pshaw, another one coming to die!"
Pan Feng's eyes widened in anger, his voice booming like a bell. He swept his pear blossom axe across the ground, the force of the blade scraping Yang An and Chen Xiu's faces.
The two quickly leaped back several steps before regaining their footing, and their gazes toward Pan Feng immediately became more solemn.
Previously, when Yang An was outside Liangshan, although he had fought with Pan Feng, he was not the main attacker. All the pressure was borne by Lü Guang, so he naturally did not feel the intense pressure.
Now that he's in charge of the attack, he naturally feels the terrifying strength of his opponent!
Seeing his attack miss, Xu Cheng showed no sign of panic. Instead, his eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he shouted, "Pan Feng, don't be arrogant! Don't underestimate the heroes of Liangshan!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already mounted his horse, his spear flashing like cold stars, and thrust at Pan Feng once more.
The spears were aimed at Pan Feng's throat, heart, and other vital points. Every move was ruthless, and they pressed forward step by step, forming a three-way standoff with Yang An and Chen Xiu, surrounding Pan Feng in the center.
In an instant, the air was thick with the glint of swords and the clang of metal echoed across the wilderness.
…………
Yang An wielded a golden-backed mountain-chopping knife, specializing in attacking Pan Feng's lower body. The blade was sharp and fierce, specifically designed to slash at the horse's legs.
Chen Xiu moved about with his spear, looking for an opening to thrust. Sometimes the spear tip was aimed at Pan Feng's wrist holding the axe, and sometimes at his vulnerable ribs.
Xu Cheng, positioned in the center, provided support, his spear flashing and spitting, effectively sealing off any room for Pan Feng to maneuver.
The three worked together seamlessly, launching a relentless offensive. Even with Pan Feng's innate superhuman strength, he was forced to retreat repeatedly, relying solely on his hundred-pound axe to hold on.
Pan Feng's black steed was also a spirit beast. Sensing that its master was in danger, it let out a long neigh and its four hooves flew as it leaped and dodged Yang An's several tricky slashes.
Pan Feng gripped the axe handle tightly with one hand and the reins with the other, remaining unfazed by the three men's relentless attacks.
In his hands, the pear blossom axe sometimes transformed into an indestructible shield, deflecting Xu Cheng's spear and Yang An's slashing broadsword; at other times, it became a deadly blade, slashing and sweeping, forcing the three men to stay away.
...............
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Sparks flew everywhere, and the noise was deafening.
Pan Feng felt a slight numbness in her arms, but her fighting spirit burned even brighter.
Because he only activated one skill, he still couldn't gain the upper hand even when facing Yang An and Chen Xiu, who had lost some of their strength.
It could even be said that if he didn't possess the divine general mark of Sha Gang, whose attack power was even stronger than Sha Yuan, he would probably have been defeated long ago based on his current martial prowess alone.
Now, as he faces three opponents alone, it has ignited the fighting spirit deep within him.
He could clearly feel the dormant power within him slowly awakening, and the vibrations from the axe handle gradually synchronized with his heartbeat.
[Ding dong, Pan Feng's skill "Peerless General" has been activated;]
Peerless General: This skill is derived from the fusion of the skill "Peerless" and the skill "Fierce General". It is unique to Pan Feng and can be upgraded to the Peerless Divine Skill "General God".
(Note: Once your basic martial prowess reaches the level of a Divine General, and you possess a top-tier skill that grants a martial prowess boost of eight points or more, you can compete for the position of Peerless Divine General.)
Effect 1, Unparalleled in the World: After this skill effect is activated, the user's attack power increases by 5.
Effect 2, Unparalleled Power: The stronger one's fighting spirit or killing intent, the more one's martial power can be unleashed. Each time it is unleashed, one's martial power will increase by three points. It can be unleashed up to three times. When one's fighting spirit or killing intent reaches a certain level, it can be unleashed continuously.
Effect 3: In group battles, for each additional enemy, your own attack power increases by 2, up to a maximum of 4 points.
Effect 4 enhances Tiger's Fierce Strength Effect 2, ignoring turn suppression restrictions and instantly suppressing the opponent's attack power by 3 points. This effect can be activated in both one-on-one and group battles.
Pan Feng, as a beginner-level god-level warrior, is indeed quite strong. In a one-on-one duel, with weapons and warhorses at the same time, he can unleash a maximum of 126 martial prowess.
In group battles, it can even unleash a combat power of 130!
Moreover, the final effect of the Peerless General skill can enhance the Fierce Tiger effect, causing all negative skill effects to activate instantly. This can definitely have an unexpected effect at the very beginning of a battle.
After all, he took down three points of his opponent's combat strength right from the start.
On the other hand, his opponent, Yang An, was not weak, but without the buff of the entire army's skills, his skill amplification was only equivalent to a powerful mid-level divine general, about the same as Zhang Duling's strength.
The only difference is that he has a strong explosive power. He can unleash his peak martial arts strength in just a dozen rounds, which is why he was able to catch Wei Jiaxing off guard.
However, Pan Feng is so strong because his skills are fusion skills. Jiang Ce had read similar novels before and naturally knew that Musou skills are basically group battle skills.
That is probably why his group combat strength is so formidable.
Moreover, this is only a beginner-level god-level warrior.
However, what interested Jiang Ce even more was the so-called "peerless divine skill" mentioned by the system after Pan Feng unleashed his Peerless General skill.
[Ding! Peerless Divine General...]
After a systematic explanation, Jiang Ce had a basic understanding of this so-called peerless divine general.
Compared to ordinary divine generals, true divine generals possess a god-level skill, and with the same basic weapon, they are much stronger in combat.
Moreover, only one of the same god-level skill can exist in the world at any given time.
For example, Ye Qianyang, the number one expert in the Ye family and ranked fifth on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, has the peerless divine skill "Yang Shen". Therefore, no one else can advance their skills to "Yang Shen".
Only after Ye Qianyang's death in battle can others advance to the 'Yang God' skill.
Moreover, there isn't necessarily only one path for each person to advance, but if someone's skills can only be advanced to the 'Yang God' level, then that person is in a tragic situation.
Because as long as Ye Qianyang doesn't die, he will never be able to become the Peerless Divine General.
Given Ye Qianyang's strength, under normal circumstances, who in the world could successfully kill him?
Even Yu Tianqin, the top-ranked official on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of the Tianyu Dynasty, probably doesn't have much confidence in this regard.
It's worth mentioning that there are naturally more than one possible outcome for advancing a skill.
After all, according to the system, if he breaks through to the Divine General level now, then his Battle Soul skill will be qualified to advance to the Peerless Divine General level. He can successfully advance to the God of War or the God of Soul.
Of course, the final results of advancement will vary, and the strength of the individual will naturally differ as well.
If a fighter's skill advances to the King of Fighters level and their base martial prowess reaches the level of a God General, then they can advance to the peerless divine skills of God of Fighters and Saint of Fighters.
Furthermore, a peerless skill isn't necessarily something that can only be evolved from a single skill.
For example, the skills of Battle God and Battle Saint can be advanced from Battle King skills, or they can be advanced from Heavenly Battle skills.
Just as Jiang Ce was asking the system about the Peerless Divine Skill, Pan Feng, Yang An, and the others were still engaged in tense combat.
[Ding dong, Pan Feng's skill 'Peerless General' effect 1 activated. Unrivaled in the world, after this skill effect is activated, Pan Feng's own strength increases by 5, and Pan Feng's current strength value increases to 117;]
[Ding dong, Pan Feng's skill 'Peerless General' effect 3 has been activated. During group battles, for each additional enemy, Pan Feng's attack power increases by 2, up to a maximum of 4 points.]
Pan Feng is currently fighting three opponents alone, therefore his martial prowess increases by 2, bringing his current martial prowess to 121.
As Pan Feng unleashed his true strength, a powerful and surging force erupted from his limbs and bones, making his attacks even more swift and fierce.
At the same time, the pear blossom mountain-splitting axe in Pan Feng's hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and blood energy faintly appeared on the axe blade, which was the shadow of the Blood Fiend Qi.
It's clear that Pan Feng is preparing to unleash her true strength.
The pear blossom-shaped axe, gleaming with a chilling light, aimed straight for Yang An's vital points. After all, in Pan Feng's eyes, Yang An, with his superb swordsmanship and resourcefulness, was the most deadly threat among the group of people before him.
Faced with Pan Feng unleashing his malevolent power, Yang An felt a chill run down his spine. However, under these circumstances, he had no chance to dodge and could only circulate his malevolent energy and swing his golden-backed mountain-chopping knife to block Pan Feng's attack.
In the short term, it wasn't a problem, but as Pan Feng's attacks became more and more rapid, Yang An, as the main attacker, was also suffering. His hands trembled violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his robe.
Before he could catch his breath, Pan Feng's next attack struck like a thunderbolt, and Yang An's moves were already distorted, his weakness instantly exposed.
At the critical moment, Xu Cheng roared and rushed forward, managing to block Pan Feng's deadly attack for him.
Seeing the three about to cooperate again, Pan Feng was instantly enraged. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his attacks became increasingly ferocious. The Pear Blossom Mountain-Splitting Axe, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, swept towards Yang An and the other two with a multitude of axe shadows, overwhelming them.
Even with the three of them working together, they were completely suppressed by him alone and could only barely defend themselves. Their faces were filled with solemnity, and the dust under their horses' hooves trembled violently.
Under immense pressure, the group could no longer afford to conserve their blood energy. They unleashed their most powerful techniques, causing their auras to surge several times over, their sharpness overwhelming them as they attempted to tear apart the axe net that Pan Feng had conjured.
After all, given their current combat strength, if they were to fight one-on-one, they probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a full-force attack from Pan Feng, and a slight misstep could result in their heads being separated from their bodies.
[Ding-dong, Xu Cheng's skill "Brave General" has been activated;]
Brave General: A valiant general, evolved from the skill 'Heroic General', and can be further evolved into the skill 'Valiant General';
Effect 1: After this skill effect is activated, the user's attack power increases by 5;
Effect 2: When activated against an enemy, randomly suppresses the enemy's attack power by 1-2 points, depending on the enemy's attack power level.
[Ding dong, Xu Cheng's skill 'Brave General' effect 1 activated. After this skill effect is activated, his own attack power increases by 5, 'Fierce Valor' effect 1 increases by 3, and his current attack power increases to 118;]
Xu Cheng was the first to erupt. He thrust his spear forward, precisely blocking the falling momentum of Pan Feng's Pear Blossom Mountain-Splitting Axe. Then, he lowered his waist, gathered his strength, and forcefully lifted the giant axe that was about to strike Yang An by half an inch.
Seeing this, Yang An would not miss the opportunity. He immediately withdrew and retreated, leaping more than ten feet away with his toes touching the ground, barely escaping the axe-wielding attack of Pan Feng.
Chen Xiu, who was best at seizing opportunities, saw Yang An retreat safely and immediately filled the gap. His White Pear Blossom Spear was like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, aiming straight for Pan Feng's vital heart.
[Ding-dong, Chen Xiu's skill...]
