Furthermore, while their domineering protective aura might fail, the opponent has no protective supernatural power at all. They can either dodge with their movement techniques or block with their weapons. At the very least, both sides have a chance to kill each other at the moment of attack.
Clang clang clang...
Liu Yan and An Jingsi were not afraid of fighting two against five, because their teamwork was becoming more and more tacit, and they could completely entrust their backs to each other. Moreover, it seemed that only Shi Jiantang among the five opponents had the ability to break through their defenses.
However, Shi Jiantang suddenly became stronger just now, so we still can't let our guard down.
Moreover, the reason these five people are considered formidable enemies is because they can be resurrected, and their strength increases dramatically after resurrection.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck Liu Yan from the sky, making him dizzy and disoriented.
"Watch out!" Liu Yan hurriedly warned, but it was too late!
puff!
In the instant Liu Yan became dizzy, An Jingsi was left unattended and was stabbed in the back by Shi Jiantang.
Fortunately, Liu Yan regained his mobility in time, supported An Jingsi's legs and leaped out of the encirclement, but the five people behind him were in hot pursuit and would soon catch up again.
At the critical moment, five black dots flew rapidly from afar. They were the Five Tiger Generals of the Great Chu Empire who had arrived at top speed using the Overlord's Moon-Shaving Step!
Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Sheng, Zhongli Mei, Ji Bu, and Ji Xin each locked onto an enemy general and used their domineering energy to press their targets to the ground, capturing them all alive!
An Jingsi's eyes were filled with fanaticism. These five were the real masters, giving them no chance to come back from the dead!
Chapter 483 Formidable Enemy
An Jingsi was stabbed in the back of the heart, but he did not die. In a daze, he saw Liu Yan bite off half of a healing pill and put it into his mouth. Then five figures flew over from the front. People who can fly?
Yes, Liu Yan is so powerful, the reinforcements he called should be even stronger, but they can fly...
An Jingsi suddenly felt himself being lifted into the air, and when he looked down, he saw that it was true!
"Brother Liu, you can fly too?" An Jingsi suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Yes, this is the Overlord's Moon-Shaving Step, taught by the Overlord. It allows one to fly by stepping on the air." Liu Yan had just used this move to temporarily shake off his pursuers.
"Then why didn't you use this trick to fly away with me when we broke through?" An Jingsi asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Why fly away? This is a rare opportunity for training. That's why I came here. Look, if I had taken you away earlier, would you have been able to break through so easily?" Liu Yan turned around and flew back.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Sheng, Zhongli Mei, Ji Bu, and Ji Xin swept past with a whoosh of wind. The Overlord's Moon-Shaving Step instantly flashed to the side of Li Cunxin and the others. The Carefree Acupuncture Technique, combined with the Six Styles of Finger Pistol, easily pierced through the opponent's armor under the enhancement of domineering energy.
Li Cunxin and the others immediately lost their ability to move, but Hao Jiu still felt it was not safe, so he had the others use their domineering energy to restrain them for a while.
In reality, Xiang Zhuang alone could have easily subdued five people who had been acupunctured, but having a few extra layers of protection is always a good thing.
"Liu Yan greets all the generals!" Liu Yan dared not show the slightest arrogance towards the famous generals of the Chu-Han period.
"An Jingsi greets all the generals! Thank you all for your rescue!" An Jingsi said, clasping his hands in greeting.
“No need to be so polite, we’re all family. To avoid any unforeseen complications, let’s hurry up and kill the target to complete the mission,” Xiang Zhuang said.
"What about these five people?" Liu Yan asked.
"The God of Wine said to turn them into vegetative states." Xiang Zhuang said, and then produced five pills in his hand. These were just some of the poison pills that Hao Jiu had purchased after becoming rich, mainly for those cultivators.
In the cultivation world, in order to quickly unify the land, the people recruited were of mixed quality. Moreover, the atmosphere in the cultivation world was like that; killing and plundering were commonplace. There were also some who spoke ill of the overlord behind his back, and secretly formed cliques and plotted treacherous schemes.
In short, many cultivators in the cultivation world have died mysteriously during this period, including some Core Formation and Nascent Soul experts. Most of the remaining ones were people with some moral principles and decent character.
The poison pill, which can even affect Nascent Soul experts in mid-level planes, will naturally pose no problem in lower-level planes.
Moreover, Li Cunxin and the others had their pressure points sealed, and if they were to have all their teeth knocked out soon, they would find it difficult to commit suicide.
Soon, the five unfortunate men, who had been tied up, were taken to a secluded place.
"An Jingsi, you stay here and watch over them. If anyone wakes up, knock them unconscious immediately," Liu Yan said solemnly.
"Yes." An Jingsi had no choice but to obey orders; if he went now, he might become a burden.
“He can’t keep an eye on things by himself. You should stay too, in case something happens here,” Xiang Zhuang said thoughtfully.
"Uh, okay then." Liu Yan's lips twitched violently. This was the mission I accepted. It seems I can't easily call for backup next time.
"Yes, you are the reserve force. If the situation becomes critical, we will need you to come and provide support," Xiang Zhuang said, offering a few words of comfort.
"Understood, sir." Xiang Zhuang said, and then flew towards the Jinyang Palace with the other four generals.
To be honest, it wasn't easy for the Five Tiger Generals to gather in the Tang Dynasty's late-stage world. They each had their own missions, but because the target system here had rather strange abilities, they were able to assemble the strongest lineup.
Jinyang, the royal palace.
Li Keyong was almost fully saturated in the hot spring, but he still refused to get out of the water.
"That's interesting. Those five people have been subdued and are on the verge of death. They're not coming back." Li Keyong's face was gloomy.
A cold, emotionless mechanical voice rang out, sounding extremely eerie, each word uttered distinctly: "Master. This is a battle of gods. To escape from this place, please choose option one. To retreat, please choose option two."
Li Keyong's lips twitched violently. "Is there a difference between fleeing and retreating? Aren't you a god? What are you afraid of? I choose option three: wipe them out and make them my sons too!"
A cube emerged from Li Keyong's body. "Master, you have swelled up. The battle between gods is extremely dangerous. If you die, don't blame me."
"Arrogant? I think you're just too cowardly! Who in this world can rival me?" Li Keyong suddenly stood up, grabbed his face, and tore it off with force, actually pulling off the entire human skin!
"Too much." The cube swayed from side to side. "How did you ruin your skin?"
"The role-playing game is over! I'm not going to keep a low profile! I'm going to unify all the worlds with thunderous force!" After Li Keyong's skin was removed, what was revealed was a handsome young man with delicate features, white teeth, and red lips!
The cube hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright. Then, we'll use the strongest array."
"Come forth, my warriors!" The handsome young man waved his hand.
Six tall figures appeared at the hot spring center, each with a fierce look in their eyes. Their weapons were terrifying, especially the thinnest one, whose pair of giant golden hammers were enormous, weighing at least 800 pounds if not a thousand.
There was another boy, whose weapon was also a pair of large hammers, only slightly smaller and silver.
"Go! Slaughter to your heart's content!" The handsome young man exclaimed excitedly.
Then, these six men, armed with divine weapons, left the hot spring palace and killed anyone they saw, turning the palace into a living hell in an instant!
When Xiang Zhuang and the other four arrived at the Jinyang Palace, the corpses had been piled up into towering structures!
"Is Li Keyong really that hated? Are there other people also seeking revenge against him?" Zhongli Mei asked, looking puzzled.
"They're here. They're enemies, not friends." Xiang Sheng immediately picked up a sword and entered the strongest state of his Three-Sword Style.
The five people who appeared on the other side looked formidable, but Xiang Zhuang and the others showed no fear in their eyes, only a strong fighting spirit.
“Let’s each pick one. Don’t be envious if you pick the weak one. I’ll choose the one with the golden hammer!” Ji Bu said first.
“If that hammer is hollow, it probably isn’t very heavy. I think that tall, strong guy with a big stick and two axes hanging from his waist is probably stronger. Why don’t you choose him, and leave the skinny guy with the golden hammer to me?” Ji Xin suggested.
“I choose the silver hammer one,” Zhongli Mei also made his choice.
"I choose the one with the big stick!" Xiang Sheng said indistinctly.
"I'll choose the one with the golden trident!" Ji Xin quickly made her choice. If she didn't choose now, there would only be one left with the serpent spear, which was obviously the weakest one.
"You've all made your choices, the rest are mine, and no one is allowed to back out!" Xiang Zhuang said before rushing forward.
"No backing out!" The group then rushed toward their respective targets.
"Very good! Kill them!" Xiang Zhuang swung his halberd, splitting Mount Hua in one powerful strike!
Then, the man wielding the eighteen-foot spear dodged to the side, revealing a man who looked eight parts similar to him but was much stronger.
These two are actually brothers!
boom!
Chapter 484 Team Play
boom!
In the first clash between the two teams, Ji Bu coughed up blood and flew away...
His opponent was a tall, thin, sickly man wielding two hammers who looked as if his body had been hollowed out; clearly, the opponent's golden hammers were not hollow.
Were there any military generals in history who wielded double hammers?
Official historical records are extremely rare, and even those weighing forty pounds are considered extraordinary.
Because hammers are impractical weapons in war. They are too heavy, have excessive killing power, and consume too much energy. You might not kill many people before you collapse from exhaustion.
Even the strongest generals, when they actually use them, mostly use a hammer in one hand and a shield in the other to make up for the shortcomings of the hammer in defense. It is short, slow, and has a small control area, so it can hardly defend against arrows.
Of course, in historical novels, there are many more generals who use hammers.
From the moment Hao Jiu first saw this tall, thin, sickly man and his pair of golden hammers, he suspected that this man might be Li Yuanba, the number one hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, who hated that heaven had no handles and earth had no rings.
A pair of golden hammers weighed 800 jin (approximately 400 kg). Li Yuanba used these hammers to kill a million enemy soldiers in a single battle. The ancients really dared to dream.
However, Ji Bu is now using Xiang Yu's card, so he also possesses the strength of a thousand jin. In a contest of strength, he should not lose to the original Li Yuanba.
However, considering the rapid increase in strength of Li Cunxin and others who were captured earlier, this situation is not surprising.
Xiang Zhuang and the others weren't knocked away, but they also coughed up blood. Hao Jiu also recognized the other five.
The one wielding the golden fork is Yuwen Chengdu. To be precise, it's not called a golden fork, but a phoenix-wing gilded halberd. This weapon can be roughly classified as a three-pronged fork, but it's larger, wider, and thicker, with both sides extending outwards like phoenix wings. The halberd weighs four hundred catties.
Legend has it that this person had the strength to lift over 10,000 jin in both arms, but could only use a weapon weighing 400 jin, which suggests that the claim is largely exaggerated.
The young man wielding the plum blossom silver hammer was Pei Yuanqing. The hammer weighed 300 jin, more than twice the weight of Li Yuanba's, and his strength was comparable to that of Yuwen Chengdu.
The burly man with two broad axes at his waist and a bronze cudgel in his hand was named Xiong Kuohai. The two broad axes weighed a total of 160 jin, and the bronze cudgel weighed 200 jin. Unfortunately, Xiong Kuohai did not have four hands, so he had to use either the axe or the cudgel. The extra weapons became a burden.
The one who wielded the eighteen-foot-long silver serpent spear was Wu Yunzhao, a fierce man who could easily kill tens of thousands of soldiers, but he was somewhat weaker than the others mentioned above. His serpent spear weighed only 160 jin, but he was very handsome.
Wu Yunzhao's cousin, Wu Tianxi, and Xiong Kuohai were both known for their strength of ten thousand jin in their arms. They wielded a pair of Hun Tian Tang (a type of halberd), but the pair of halberds were not as long as the single halberd, and the halberd heads were not as big, weighing only two hundred jin.
Although these six fictional characters are all said to be incredibly strong, the fact that they could make the generals of the Great Chu who possessed the Overlord Card vomit blood in a single encounter must be due to the capabilities of the Target System.
"The enemy's strength is too overwhelming. Everyone, adopt ranged attacks and execute the Human Pig Plan!" Hao Jiu gave the order.
"No! He clearly didn't hit me, but I slashed him, yet I'm the one who coughed up blood!" Xiang Sheng thought to himself.
"Hmm? I see..." Hao Jiu suddenly realized.
