Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 981 - 603: Legend

It is well-known that there is a type of duel where it’s one against a group.

Xu Yang now faced this very situation.

"Charge!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou, both generals, charged together, one wielding the Dragon Saber, the other holding the Snake Spear, attacking in unison with seamless coordination.

However, the assault of their opponent was like a thunderstorm with the force of a million jun, the Sky Halberd sweeping across with a seemingly straightforward and skillless motion which in reality was profound in its simplicity and formlessness, instantly breaking their combined skills and striking where they were unprepared.

"Boom!!!"

With a loud bang and sparks flying, the Snake Spear was knocked aside, the Dragon Saber was forced into a defensive posture, but still struggled to withstand the enemy’s killing move. Red Rabbit raised its hooves, the War Halberd cleaved downward in a strike from above, slashing at the Dragon Saber with a resounding clang that echoed like thunder.

"Splurch!!!"

Amid the ringing clank, a muffled thud was heard as the Dragon Saber shattered with a burst of sparks, the War Halberd splitting through the defensive armor and into the flesh at the shoulder and neck, seizing the enemy’s life and soul.

"Armor-breaking Strike!"

"You have killed the enemy hero—Yan Liang!"

"You have gained 89,500 experience points, 3,620 reputation points!"

"Brother!!!"

The kill notification and the shrill cry rang out simultaneously. Wen Chou’s eyes were about to split with fury, his rage making his hair stand, and his Snake Spear lashed out in anger.

He and Yan Liang were both Epic tier Battle Heroes, and under the effect of their Heroic Skills, weapon equipment, and Combined Skills, their Physical Attributes had reached eighty-eight and eighty-nine points, a top-notch level among first-order generals.

But unexpectedly, the opponent was so terrifying; both force and skill had reached the peak, breaking their combined moves in one encounter and even taking the life of his brother Yan Liang.

This drove Wen Chou to extreme grief and rage, "Double Wall" effect activating, causing his strength to spike to a hundred points in his enraged state, already at the first-tier limit.

But strength was strength, and martial power was martial power. They might be matched in power, but there was still a gap in skill.

"Boom!!!"

Another loud bang as spear and halberd crossed, with the Snake Spear again unable to withstand and was vibrated away, numbing Wen Chou’s arms and causing severe pain in his palms.

Seeing the opponent’s momentum was unyielding, the War Halberd raised as the enemy pressed the attack mounted on horseback. With his survival instincts kicking in, a hint of rationality returned, and he immediately switched to defense, barely blocking another strike.

But that was just one strike. Xu Yang’s assault was relentless, the Sky Halberd dancing like Dragons and Snakes, flowing like clouds and water with endless continuity. Attack hidden within moves, style within styles, as unpredictable as a wild horse running free or an antelope hanging by its horns. This left onlookers dazzled and those in the midst of the battle terrified and uneasy.

Wen Chou’s Snake Spear met the attacks. Though his strength was not inferior, his skill certainly fell short. Caught in the midst of the opponent’s halberd technique, he was like a small boat facing raging waves, tottering on the brink of capsizing at any moment.

"Uncle Evil!"

"Quick, retreat!"

But then, a shout rang out as Martial Riders charged forward, timely joining the battlefield.

"Rotation combat effect activated!"

"The enemy hero ’Zhang Liao’ joins the battle!"

"The enemy hero ’Le Jin’ joins the battle!"

"The enemy hero ’Yu Jin’ joins the battle!"

"The enemy hero ’Zhang He’ joins the battle!"

"The enemy hero ’Xu Huang’ joins the battle!"

"The enemy heroes Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Zhang He, Xu Huang activate their Combined Special Skill—Five Generals!"

Five Generals: When the Cao Wei Five Generals gather together, their physical attributes increase by 50%, and they can join forces to face the enemy.

...

The Five Generals, charging on horseback, thundered into the battlefield, interrupting Xu Yang’s momentum and rescuing the teetering Wen Chou.

Wen Cai took a deep breath, not daring to say more, and pulling on his equally burdened horse, he turned and fled toward his own lines.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shao and the man before him in the central army tent were filled with bitter distress, the pain unspeakable.

Chen Yi, standing nearby, also wore a very grim expression: "Yan Liang and Wen Chou’s Physical Attributes, with all their enhancements, were close to ninety points, yet they met with one death and one injury in the first encounter. This man’s Physical Attributes must have reached the limit for his tier at one hundred, perhaps even surpassing that limit, and he possesses matching combat skills."

"No wonder he, an orphan and a newcomer Lord without any support, has managed to rise to such heights in such a short time. He must have acquired some extremely powerful combat Talent or General Skills."

"What’s the use of saying that now!"

Before he could finish, another Lord, Wang Jie, interrupted anxiously: "Who takes over next round? My Five Generals can’t hold him off for long."

His words were urgent, containing not a hint of falsehood for the situation on the battlefield had indeed become critical.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the Hebei duo, were both nurtured to the pinnacle as Epic tier generals, with Physical Attributes nearing ninety and accompanying combat skills, and yet one died and one was wounded in their first encounter. What of his Five Generals then...

Zhang Liao was the strongest in terms of combat ability, his Physical Attributes also reaching a hundred points with enhancements, but like Wen Chou, while his strength was considerable, his combat prowess was not much better. He was only holding on because he had the support of Le Jin and the other three. Otherwise, he would already have been overwhelmed by the torrential onslaught of halberd strikes.

Although he had not yet fallen, his situation was perilous, and there was an urgent need for someone to step in to assist, to face this fearsome enemy.

But who could step in? Who dared to step in?

The ten Lords looked at each other, all lacking confidence in their eyes.

Among them, the strongest were Zhang Ying and Wang Jie; Zhang Ying had Yuan Shao, an epic-tier Commander, and the generals Yan Liang and Wen Cai, while Wang Jie had also gathered the Five Generals and nurtured them with the support of his power base, reaching the limit of their combat strength.

Even so, when facing that man, they were only capable of parrying, and they couldn’t even manage that well.
