Chapter 963: Chapter 594: Ghost God
“This…”
“Lord!”
“Xu Yang!”
As figures emerged from the dust, everyone reacted differently, with surprise, joy, and even suspicion.
“These weapons, this mount…”
“His strength has increased again!”
“But given the current situation, how much can the efforts of one man change?”
On Lake Heart Island, Zhang Yan watched the battle from afar, her heart full of doubt and a touch of despair.
In the conquests of lords, the power of groups was mainstream; individual valor, while not negligible, usually only dominated in small-scale fights and was unlikely to determine the outcome of large-scale battles, let alone turn the tide in a desperate situation.
This was evident from Yue Yun under her command; as an Epic Hero specialized in combat, Yue Yun’s personal strength was extremely formidable, with a Physical Attribute of sixty-five, coupled with the “Fierce Hammer” Heroic Skill. Even among Second-Order Soldiers, he could cut a path of destruction.
Certainly strong, a Physical Attribute of sixty-five allowed him to cut a path of destruction even among Second-Order Soldiers.
However, facing the overall collapse of the battle situation, he was still unable to turn the tide and, in the end, had to retreat to the docks of Shuibo, just like Hua Mulan.
If Yue Yun was already like this, there was no need to mention others; those lords capable of rivaling the martial power of Epic Heroes were few and far between.
Even if his strength surpassed Yue Yun’s, facing nearly twenty thousand enemy troops, how could he alone turn the tide?
So…
“Come!”
With a cold command, the impasse was broken, and in the midst of the stunned battlefield, that person immediately raised his halberd, pointing its edge directly at the enemy general.
“Huh!?”
Facing the edge of the Sky Halberd, the middle-aged man wielding the scimitar, who had fought Yue Yun to a standstill, frowned and then resolutely raised his sword, “Kill!!!”
“Kill them!”
At his order, a thousand troops moved in unison; dozens of Tianli Sect Strongmen and hundreds of Roman Legion infantry charged, heading straight for the man in the center of the battlefield.
“The enemy has rejected your Array Formation Battle challenge!”
“Challenge effect activated!”
“You have entered the ‘Ghost God’ state; within a 600-meter radius, all enemy troops with Morale below 100 will be intimidated by you, their highest Attributes will decrease by 50%, and they will enter negative states such as ‘Frightened,’ ‘Qi Collapse,’ and ‘Defeated in Flight’!”
“You have entered the ‘Unrivaled’ state; your highest Attributes increase by 100%, and you are immune to all Spells and negative Skills below third Order.”
“Because of your rousing presence, our troops’ Morale has greatly increased, all troop Morale +1000!”
“Yellow Turban Foot Soldiers (Elite) have entered the ‘Morale Like a Rainbow’ state!”
“Yellow Turban Gunners (Heroic) have entered the ‘Morale Like a Rainbow’ state!”
“Mulan Archers (Historical Battle) have entered the ‘Morale Like a Rainbow’ state!”
“Mulan Cavalry (Elite) have entered the ‘Morale Like a Rainbow’ state!”
“Enemy Morale has greatly decreased…”
“What!?!”
Looking at the battle log, the middle-aged general’s face changed instantly.
In the battles of lords in the Sky-reaching Tower and Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, all sorts of wonders were common; skills like ‘Array Formation Battle’ were not rare, and the middle-aged general was very familiar with them, knowing that if he refused to duel, the enemy would definitely gain some kind of enhanced state or even unleash powerful Combined Skills and Chain Skills.
But knowing is one thing, he still decisively rejected the enemy’s challenge.
This was expected!
If it were you, would you leave tens of thousands of troops unused in an overwhelming advantage, and run to have a duel with an enemy general who fell from the sky, exploding onto the battlefield, clearly with an off-the-chart combat power?
Although he was also a combative hero, a combative hero is not a brainless hero, so he made a choice that any normal person would make.
And then things turned out this way.
What Ghost God Unrivaled?
This Fighting General Skill effect was too strong, wasn’t it?
If you had such an overpowered skill, why didn’t you say so earlier? If you had told me, I wouldn’t have refused this duel.
What to do now?
Regret surged through the middle-aged general’s heart amid the uproar.
Meanwhile…
“Boom!!!”
“Ah!!!”
With a loud explosion and a series of wails, the battlefield erupted.
Dozens of Tianli Sect Strongmen and nearly a thousand Roman Legion infantry were ordered by the middle-aged general to attack Xu Yang but what followed was a flash of cold light, cutting through the air like lightning. Astride his horse, the man simply swung his weapon and the nearly four-meter-long Sky Halberd soared like a dragon.
Fast, breathtakingly fast!
Fierce, terrifyingly fierce!
Spears and halberds sliced through the air, leaving nothing but bloodshed in their wake, dozens of Tianli Sect strongmen were bisected, their bodies flying in all directions like bloody cannonballs into the ranks of the Roman Legion, sending the Roman infantry tumbling over.
It was a single strike, but it swept through the surrounding area, leaving dozens of the Tianli Sect strongmen and hundreds of Roman soldiers dead or gravely wounded.
Such a blow shocked all the armies, and everyone stopped their movements, staring at the person in the middle of the battlefield as if they were witnessing a Ghost God in the flesh, causing everyone to shake in fear and their livers and gallbladders to split.
“Due to your deterrence, the Tianli Sect’s troops have collapsed in morale, falling into the ‘Frightened’ state!”
“You have killed a Tianli Sect strongman, gaining 2500 Experience points and 15 Reputation points.”
“Due to your deterrence, the Tianli Sect’s strongmen have collapsed in morale, falling into the ‘Qi Collapse’ state, all Attributes reduced by 50%!”
“Due to your deterrence, the morale of the Roman Legion’s infantry has collapsed, falling into the ‘Rout’ state, all attributes reduced by 80%, and Troop type skills lose their effect.”
“…”
The battle records refreshed in swathes, and the surrounding army formations collapsed as a result, even the special variants like the Tianli Sect strongmen and the legion Centurions showed faces filled with fear, stopping in their tracks. Not to mention the ordinary Tianli Sect troops and Roman infantry soldiers, each of them was stricken with terror, their forces disintegrating instantly like landslides, unable to form ranks.
“Run, run for your lives!”
“He’s not human!”
“Save me, someone, please!”
The might of the Ghost God sent chills down the spines of thousands of soldiers, instantly causing chaos as countless demoralized soldiers fled like headless flies.
Xu Yang, however, paid no mind to this; the Fighting Spirit around his body exploded mightily, as Red Rabbit burst forth into the wind, turning into a streak of red light that broke through thousands of soldiers and charged directly toward the middle-aged General.
The middle-aged General’s expression changed, waking from his stupor, decisively turning his horse’s head and fleeing for his life.
Escape, escape, escape!
It wasn’t that the General lacked courage or strength, but rather that the Fighting General Skill’s bonuses were simply too terrifying.
A hundred percent increase in attribute physical fitness, combined with immunity to all Magic Skills and negative effects, such bonuses in the hands of this opponent, how could one fight back?
If both sides were in normal states, then he would still have confidence in fighting against him, but now… he could only flee!
The middle-aged General fled on horseback, but Xu Yang pursued relentlessly, his Fighting Spirit surging around him, his Hua Ji in hand sweeping around like a crazed dragon, making a breakthrough in the midst of the thousands of troops, leaving soldiers and horses overturned wherever he passed, and nobody could stop him.
Unstoppable, he was truly unstoppable!
After entering the ‘Unrivaled’ state, his Physical Attribute received a hundred percent boost. Although it could only increase his Basic Attributes and did not include equipment bonuses, it still granted him a twenty-point increase in Physical Strength.
That twenty-point increase in Physical Strength, coupled with other equipment and Skills bonuses, meant his current Physical Attribute had reached sixty points.
Sixty points of Physical Strength, it’s not just First-Order soldiers, even Second-Order Soldiers were as easy to kill as slicing through melons and vegetables.
Additionally, with the deterrence of the ‘Ghost God,’ within a range of six hundred meters around him, all soldiers with Morale less than one hundred had their highest Attributes reduced by fifty percent.
What did that mean?
Even for the ‘Half-magical’ troops like the Tianli Sect strongmen, under the effect of his Ghost God, they were brought down to earth, becoming as weak as the Yellow Turban Foot Soldiers.
The strongmen were one thing, but other troops were reduced to even less than the Yellow Turban Foot Soldiers.
With such Martial Power on the battlefield, he truly was unrivaled, activating his Unrivaled Secret Technique, breaking through the thousands of soldiers, treading a bloody path, and chasing directly behind the middle-aged General.
Feeling the terrifying pressure coming from behind, the middle-aged General’s face changed again, not daring to flee any further, he had no choice but to turn back and deliver a counter-strike with his sword.
Heroic Skill: Sword Dragging Skill (feigning defeat and flight, turning to strike with the sword as your horse turns back. If the opponent’s Intelligence is lower than one’s own and gives chase, you can execute a heavy slash that deals damage equal to (Physical Attribute + weapon attack) x3!)
Despite his lack of intent to use schemes, it didn’t prevent the Skill Effect from acting. The middle-aged General turned his horse back and swung out his heavy sword strike, with a momentum terrifying enough to split mountains and cleave valleys
However…
“Boom!!!”
With a thunderous sound and sparks flying everywhere, the incoming figure rode his steed at full speed, his Hua Ji slashing through the air like a dragon rending the sky. The astonishing speed brought a terrifying force, and as the Sky Halberd collided with the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, the latter, along with the man and his sword, was sent flying. He simply couldn’t withstand the extreme power of the impact.
The middle-aged General, with both man and sword, flew like a cannonball, crashing to the ground with a thunderous fall, feeling dizzy and nauseated with a metallic taste in his throat, his hands in severe pain, his body as if his bones were turned upside down, displaying the overwhelming strength of his opponent.
In that moment, he felt the ground thunderously shake, hooves thundering like rolling thunder. Forcing himself up, he raised his sword to face the oncoming enemy, only to see a heavy halberd crash down, effortlessly slicing his weapon in half. The follow-through, not diminished in the least, struck him, sending out a burst of sparks and a massive force which instantly turned his world upside down, and darkness surged like a tidal wave…
“You have knocked down the enemy Hero—Wen Da!”
“Due to the Hero’s Skill Effect, he was spared the death that would otherwise be caused by serious wounds.”
“You have captured the enemy Hero!”
“Enemy Morale has greatly diminished!”
“…”

With a heavy halberd swing, the enemy General was downed but was not turned into a corpse; instead, he became a streak of white light left on the ground.
Xu Yang, however, did not even give it a glance, immediately riding out towards the city’s exterior.
At the dock behind him, Hua Mulan had already regrouped the surviving troops, leading over a hundred of her trusted aides and eight hundred members of the Yellow Turban Army, launching a counterattack against the headless-fly-like enemy inside the city.
“Kill!”
Yue Yun saw this and awakened from a dreamlike state, wielding his bloody hammers, leading the remaining dozen Beiwei soldiers and Great Song troops to join the fray of “Beating the Water Dog.”
The tides of battle reversed, a full counterattack ensued!
On Lake Heart Island, Zhang Yan watched in astonishment, taking a long while to come to her senses, then hurriedly speaking to Feng Cheng, “Let’s go, we should support them too!”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
Feng Cheng also snapped out of his daze, leading the last dozen soldiers, together with Zhang Yan, to the dock, boarding fishing boats and rushing to the battlefield, preparing to join in the thrashing of the drowning dogs and share in the spoils of victory.
