Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2187 Souls Perish Under the Hammer, The Battle for the God of Blades
At this moment, after receiving such a blow, Xuanwu's foot was already stuck in the mud.

He braced himself against the shield with both hands, even putting one shoulder up on it, and only then was he able to block it.

Although his physical skills were strong, they were absolutely top-notch, comparable to those of Tuoba Longxiang and Li Cunxiao.

However, no matter how strong the defense, it dared not continuously withstand Li Yuanba's hammer.

After all, even if you were made of steel, you would still be smashed to pieces by Li Yuanba.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone. If he were alone, given his speed, he would only be able to passively take a beating from Li Yuanba, who would treat him like a piece of iron and keep smashing him.

It was precisely because of Wu Changsheng and Gao Chong that he was able to catch his breath from time to time.

"You two, step back!" Gao Chong shouted at the two men.

These two men, individually, could not even withstand one or two blows from Li Yuanba.

Even if the two of them joined forces, they could not withstand the strongest power in the world.

Therefore, it would be better to let the two of them step down first.

"General Xuanwu, you too, step back!"

Wu Changshou slashed forward with his longsword, deflecting Li Yuanba from Xuanwu.

After the Charucci brothers withdrew, these people also had the idea of ​​retreating.

If we continue fighting, there is absolutely no chance of winning.

After all, even now, the layer of blood armor on the other party is still covering his body.

By this point, they were almost certain that this guy had probably already gone that far.

If you don't reach that point, even if you use Blood Armor, it will only be fleeting and won't last for twenty or thirty rounds.

Only after reaching that stage can one withstand such a drain.

When they made this judgment, they were utterly horrified!
Such a level of achievement has only appeared once or twice in a single era, even among the Central Plains and the surrounding barbarian tribes!

Moreover, such figures only appear during times of chaos!
There were several eras in which it was impossible to find even one person like this.

But in their time!
Following Ye Shangjue and Tuoba Longxiang, a third such figure has actually appeared!

Even Wu Changsheng, one of them, could only dream of this realm in the dead of night.

He was no longer young, no longer as hopeful for the future as he had been in his youth, no longer feeling that the world was his to control.

As for people like Xia Luqi, they didn't even dare to think about whether they could reach that level.

Having made this judgment, Wu Changsheng, Gao Chong, and Xuanwu all believed that they had no hope of winning.

If the three of them were to step down, Xuanwu would have to be the first.

Although he came on horseback, he dismounted to fight.

Like Xing Tian, ​​warhorses were merely a means of rapid movement for them.

Because the opponent is an infantry general, if he is allowed to retreat last, he may not even have a chance to remount.

Without anyone else to help him, Xuanwu would be no match for Li Yuanba alone, no matter how strong his defense was.

But he would only be like a tortoise shell, helplessly subjected to Li Yuanba's relentless bombardment until he was smashed into a pile of rubble.

"understood!"

"Generals, please be careful!"

Panting heavily, Xuanwu shook his numb arm. Taking advantage of Wu Changsheng's sword catching Li Yuanba's golden hammer for him, he quickly jumped off the battlefield and leaped back onto his warhorse in two quick steps.

Although he had put away his short spear and was now using both hands to defend himself, he was still shaken by the immense force, causing his entire body to tremble and revealing that he had suffered internal injuries.

Li Yuanba wanted to stop it, but at the same time, Gao Chong's spear also thrust forward.

"General Gao!"

"You withdraw too!"

Wu Changsheng roared and cleaved Li Yuanba's golden hammer with all his might.

After Xuanwu left, it was Gao Chong's turn next.

It wasn't that Wu Changsheng was sacrificing himself to cover the retreat, but rather that this task could only be undertaken by him.

If Gao Chong were to leave last, his opponent wouldn't be able to withstand even a few blows from Li Yuanba, and he wouldn't be able to escape.

Only he had the possibility of leaving after covering the retreat.

If it were any one of those five people, except for him, they would have had no chance of escaping.

"Don't run!"

One enemy after another was fighting well, but then suddenly ran away, and Li Yuanba seemed to be getting angry.

While one golden hammer parried Wu Changsheng's slashing broadsword, the other golden hammer was poised to be swung at Gao Chong, who was about to retreat.

"not good!"

Wu Changsheng was startled and immediately changed the direction of his blade, aiming to slash at Li Yuanba's wrist, the one from which he had thrown the flying hammer, to force Li Yuanba to stop the hammer's motion.

However, Wu Changsheng never expected that someone as childish as Li Yuanba would actually try to outsmart him during the battle.

It looked like he was about to throw the flying hammer, but when Wu Changsheng's blade slashed towards Li Yuanba's wrist, the direction of the golden hammer in his hand changed abruptly.

Although this sudden change and this way of exerting force meant that Li Yuanba could only use a portion of his power in this hammer blow.

However, the sudden impact struck the large sword that was about to slash at it, knocking it aside and causing it to spin uncontrollably to the side.

Suddenly, Wu Changsheng's center was opened, and he was completely exposed to Li Yuanba's hammer.

At the same time, Li Yuanba thrust his golden hammer forward, striking Wu Changsheng squarely in the chest.

After the hammer blow landed solidly, his entire breastplate, along with the breastplate, shattered into pieces in an instant. Even his backplate was blown to pieces by the force of the blow.

Even his hair ornament was blown away by the force of the hammer blow.

His entire suit of armor was like that, not to mention the person himself!

After all, Wu Changsheng is not known for his physical skills!

If Tuoba Longxiang could withstand a blow from Li Yuanba with his body, that would be possible! As long as he doesn't constantly try to take the hit with his body, he could withstand an occasional blow given his physical attributes.

However, Wu Changsheng was far from qualified.

Even ordinary masters of hard skills don't qualify. The gap between ordinary masters of hard skills and top-tier, unparalleled hard skills masters is still quite significant.

Even if someone's physical skills had reached the level of Alcyoneus, if he were to take a direct hit from Li Yuanba's hammer without anyone helping him deflect the force, he would inevitably be injured.

If Li Yuanba were to unleash his full power, there is a high probability that Alcyoneus would be seriously injured on the spot or even killed in battle.

Li Yuanba's hammer blow shattered Wu Changsheng's internal organs into a pile of dust. Even the most potent medicine couldn't save him from such an injury.

Although his appearance didn't seem to have changed much, except that he looked a bit more ferocious because of the blood flowing from his seven orifices.

But inside, it had become a puddle of mush.

Wu Changsheng's death was somewhat unjust!
If he hadn't expected Li Yuanba to resort to such underhanded tactics, he could have managed to hold out for a few more rounds even if he were facing Li Yuanba alone.

"That's it!"

"The rankings on the Dragon and Tiger Power List are likely to change again!"

Gao Chong, who had already run twenty or thirty steps away, turned around and saw Li Yuanba strike Wu Changsheng with a hammer. His entire back was soaked with cold sweat.

If it had been Wu Changsheng who died first, instead of him, then he would be the one to die on the battlefield now.

No one is completely fearless of death; being willing to fight to the death and being unafraid of death are two different things on the battlefield.

Even Gao Chong, after realizing that he had just narrowly escaped death, was mostly filled with a sense of relief and lingering fear!
After all, his strength was far inferior to Wu Changsheng's.

Although the two had never fought before, Gao Chong was not afraid to fight him if they were to face off.

However, this does not mean that Gao Chong is afraid to admit this.

Just look at their rankings on the popularity charts: one is in the top 20, while the other has fallen to the 50s.

With such a large gap in rankings, the difference in strength is almost visible to the naked eye.

In the fight between those people just now, the main force was actually Wu Changsheng and Xuanwu.

In fact, Xuanwu's role is even greater than that of Wu Changsheng.

In fact, only the Xuanwu, with its superior strength and defense, could withstand Li Yuanba's hammer head-on.

As for Wu Changsheng, he could block Li Yuanba for a moment at a crucial moment, preventing Li Yuanba from having the opportunity to continuously attack Xuanwu.

Unfortunately, Xuanwu was an infantry general, not a cavalry general.

If he were a cavalry general, the two of them could cover the rear together, and there might be a slight chance that both of them could escape unscathed.

At this moment, the soldiers of both armies were staring in disbelief at everything.

Wu Changsheng is no nobody in the world. In the rankings before the latest one, his ranking had never fallen out of the top fifteen.

He is also a prince of the Great Wu royal family!

No one expected that such a person would die here today!

Even the generals on the Han side were caught off guard, as they were unaware that Li Yuanba had reached this point.

On Wang Yu's side, besides him, only Li Yuanba is a divine general, while Huang Tianxiang and others have not yet grown up.

None of the people present with Zhao Kuangyin followed the path of becoming a Sword God.

Therefore, he has not received any system notifications yet.

However, he could guess that an invisible struggle was about to begin once again in the world.

Among the thirty-odd divine generals on his side, only Yang Jian, Guan Yu, and Deng Jiugong advanced along the path of becoming the God of Swords.

As for Yang Jian, he has already advanced to the level of a Celestial God, so the God of Blades naturally has nothing to do with him anymore.

As for Guan Yu, Wang Yu didn't think he would have much of an advantage in this contest.

After all, judging from the previous battles for True Gods, it would be quite difficult to place a mid-level God General here.

Furthermore, while the Spring and Autumn Three Blades is a decent skill, it only increases his combat power by 10 points, which is insufficient to give him a competitive advantage.

As for Deng Jiugong...

Meanwhile, across the land, with the fall of the God of Swords, people everywhere seemed to have gained some insight, vaguely sensing something, and each used their own methods to compete for this faint sense of the unseen.

Xue Lin and Jiang Chuqian from Daewoo, of course, the latter is just an extra.

Compared to his elder brother, his martial arts skills were indeed insignificant.

Of course, he was a renowned general, not just a fierce one.

Although he was young and impetuous back then, he faced a figure like Wu Baiqi shortly after leaving the mountain, which led to his Waterloo.

But during the years that followed, he had long since shed his youthful arrogance and transformed into a calm and profound person.

In fact, encountering someone like Wu Baiqi can only be attributed to bad luck, not a lack of ability.

Wasn't Sima Changfeng of the Great Wu Dynasty also a famous general who dominated the world for two or three decades?
But when he met Chu Xizhao, wasn't he still completely defeated? He even died of depression not long after!

Liu Wenzhao, Fu Tian, ​​and other young talents of the Great Wei Dynasty...

Yu Gao of the Ming Dynasty and Zhang Chongjiang, a local talent...

The Great Qian Ghost Blade will face the Netherworld...

Da Xiao Yuan Tianjue...

The Great Martial Arts Master, Yue Yunlong...

Among these people are veteran generals and renowned figures on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking.

At the same time, there are also many newcomers who are just starting out. Some of them are just as capable as the veterans, they just haven't had a chance to make a name for themselves yet.

Within the Central Plains alone, in the regions of the seven great dynasties, the number of contenders, large and small, is countless.

Not to mention, there are also the four barbarian tribes.

The battle for the title of God of Swords is far more exciting than the battle for the title of God of Heaven.

Of course, the battle for the gods was a true fight between immortals.

In comparison, the battle for the title of Sword God only involves a large number of participants on the surface, but the overall quality is incomparable.

Among so many people, only one or two can truly be compared to those competing for the title of God.

Meanwhile, Zhao Kuangyin, who was watching the battle from the rear of the army, felt a sense of relief when he saw Xuanwu and the others retreat.

However, the thought of Wu Changsheng, who had died in battle, made him worried again.

This explains why Wu Zetian didn't come out to watch the battle; she was still in Liangguan behind the front lines.

In any case, dealing with Da Wu next will be difficult.

At this stage, the Zhao Song dynasty still cannot do without the Great Wu and still needs to rely on the Great Wu's power to fight against the Great Han.

At this point, Zhao Kuangyin was filled with deep regret.

If we hadn't brought up Li Yuanba with Wu Changsheng, perhaps this battle wouldn't have happened, and perhaps Wu Changsheng wouldn't have died here.
