The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 542: Internal Qi Bursts Under the Clouds
"Ding!" The weapons of Ma Chao and Qu Fu collided with each other, causing a huge gust of air.

"So strong." Ma Chao tightened his numbed hands and stared at Qu Fu opposite him. Although he could not tell the other party's realm in the mist, Ma Chao's intuition told him that the other party was most likely to have achieved the perfection of internal energy leaving the body.

It was the same level of internal energy as Ma Chao's current level, but from the collision just now, Ma Chao discovered that his quality was actually no match for Qu Fu. If he hadn't relied on his superior bones and strength to forcibly block the opponent's attack, he might have been the loser in this collision.

"Hmph." Qu Fu snorted coldly. After just one collision, he had already roughly figured out Ma Chao's current strength, which was weaker than his.

Ma Chao's bones and strength are indeed stronger than his. Stronger bones and strength than ordinary people allow Ma Chao to have endurance and output capabilities far beyond ordinary people.

But apart from these two things, there is nothing else that Ma Chao can show off now. His skills are average, his internal energy is normal, his willpower is stronger than the conventional internal energy out-of-body perfection, and his physical fitness is also at the normal level.

However, it is enough that Ma Chao is young enough. After all, youth is capital, and Ma Chao still has a lot of time to improve his qualities, skills and internal energy.

"But do you think I will give you this opportunity?" A fierce light flashed in Qu Fu's eyes. He had already realized Ma Chao's potential. He could compete with the older generation strong men like him just by relying on his physique. If Ma Chao was allowed to improve his own system, he would become a strong man like Lu Bu.

Of course, Qu Fu did not think that Ma Chao in front of him could grow to the level of Lu Bu. After all, Lu Bu's birth was a miracle. If Ma Chao wanted to grow to the level of Lu Bu, he should get rid of his impetuousness first.

"Hmph, the final victory will be mine." Ma Chao was unwilling to be outdone. Even though he knew that he was no match for the powerful Northern Huns in front of him, Ma Chao would not show weakness in words.

"Come on, this is my first time to experience the feeling of killing a young and powerful man from the Han Dynasty with my own hands." Qu Fu also uttered his own harsh words.

Although he despised Ma Chao's lax basic qualities, the fact that Ma Chao could compete with him with that poor foundation already demonstrated how strong Ma Chao's physique was.

"Kill!" Ma Chao didn't waste any words and thrust his spear forward. He was different from Qu Fu. Qu Fu had to pay attention to the battlefield situation, but Ma Chao was different. The presence of Zhang Xiu and Pang De allowed him to devote all his attention to this battle.

"Kill!" Qu Fu roared and raised his sword to face Ma Chao, unleashing his strongest fighting power, determined to strangle Ma Chao here.

In just a blink of an eye, the two men fought for more than ten rounds. Ma Chao coughed up a trickle of blood. Even with his superior physique, Ma Chao was still at a disadvantage when facing a veteran like Qu Fu.

Ma Chao looked at Qu Fu opposite with a serious expression. He now understood why Zhang Xiu was not worried about him getting the head. The Northern Huns warrior opposite had already honed his skills, internal energy, qualities and will to the limit. He only needed an opportunity to break through to the extreme of internal energy leaving the body.

On the other hand, even if his physique is stronger than Qu Fu in front of him, what good does it matter? He has no way to bring out the full potential of this body. Now when facing Qu Fu, the best he can do is to remain undefeated.

"Ah!" Ma Chao was furious. He was angry at his basic qualities that did not match his physique at all. The basic qualities here include internal energy, physical fitness, skills, and will.

But it doesn’t matter, these basic qualities can be quickly developed in battle, so just immerse yourself in this unequal battle!

Qu Fu looked a little ugly. Ma Chao was indeed not his opponent, but this guy was very resilient and his fighting power was slowly increasing. If he could not defeat him quickly, he might be killed by Ma Chao.

Qu Fu had a headache. Ma Chao's physique was indeed beyond the standard. If this body could not withstand Ma Chao's various excessive performances, Ma Chao would have been killed on the spot by Qu Fu due to lack of stamina.

Qu Fu's face was heavy. Ma Chao, who only attacked and did not defend, was getting more and more powerful. It seemed that under the in-depth influence of his violent will, Ma Chao's body's internal energy capacity had been expanded, his physical fitness had also been improved to a certain extent, and his skills had also grown to a certain extent under the threat of death.

"Activate the Blood-Burning Secret Technique!" Qu Fu shouted, and activated the amplification secret technique that was modified from a special secret technique in Central Asia. He no longer wanted to waste time here with Ma Chao.

When the secret technique to increase Qi and blood was activated, the heart, which had been strengthened long ago, suddenly beat faster under the action of internal Qi, and the rapidly rising blood pressure stimulated a large amount of Qi and blood.

The blood and qi that suddenly increased in velocity impacted the blood vessels in Qu Fu's body, and his body swelled as if blown up. The burst of internal energy even temporarily blocked the sealing effect of the cloud.

Qu Fu, with his momentum rising sharply, swung his sword suddenly at Ma Chao, and the wind waves caused by the violent force blew on Ma Chao's face.

The blowing wind stung Ma Chao's face and brought him back to his senses from Qu Fu's surging momentum. He then raised his spear to block with a frightened look on his face.

Unfortunately, the power unleashed by Qu Fu, whose blood and energy were surging, was not something Ma Chao could resist. The stalemate lasted less than ten seconds before both the man and the horse were blown away by Qu Fu, and the dust that was raised obscured Ma Chao's figure.

Qu Fu did not give Ma Chao time to stand up. He rode forward and was about to kill Ma Chao as he tried to crawl out of the dust.

Taking advantage of the horse's power, Qu raised his sword high and chopped down towards Ma Chao with great force.

"Swish!" An arrow suddenly appeared in front of Qu Fu. The shocked Qu Fu had no time to put away his sword and defend himself. He could only barely turn his head to avoid the sneak attack. However, the arrow still took away a piece of flesh on his face. Due to the high blood pressure in his body, a stream of blood burst out from Qu Fu's face.

Qu Fu hurriedly removed the force of the sword in his hand and looked up at Zhang Xiu who shot an arrow at him. At the same time, he reached out and pressed down on his cheek where a piece of muscle had been taken away. With the powerful restorative power of his internal energy leaving his body, the bleeding quickly stopped.

However, even with the recovery power of internal energy leaving the body, there is no way to regenerate the cut muscles in just a few seconds. If the smelter has a super-speed regeneration talent, it is a different story. After all, the recovery power of the super-speed regeneration talent is not even possessed by the internal energy leaving the body.

Qu Fu looked at Zhang Xiu with serious eyes. He could feel how powerful Zhang Xiu was, which was the same power he had after he activated the secret technique.

As for Pang De who rushed towards him, he was just that good. He could only be expected to be good in the future, but he was no match for Qu Fu now. Even before he used the secret technique, Pang De was no match for him. "Bang!" With just one blow, Pang De followed in Ma Chao's footsteps and lay down with Ma Chao. Now he couldn't even get up, and could only stand up with the support of Ma Chao. He looked at Qu Fu with fear in his eyes, and then slowly retreated while dragging his mount.

Zhang Xiu put away his longbow, picked up his spear, and rode his horse towards Qu Fu. The internal energy that was originally bound by his will slowly circulated in his body and came out of his body, as if the cloud's seal had failed.

Qu Fu looked at Zhang Xiu who was rushing towards him and made a simple calculation to see if there was enough time left for him to make the finishing blow. Unfortunately, there was not enough time.

If he wanted to finish off Ma Chao and Pang De, he would have to endure the attack from Zhang Xiu, and use his own body to withstand the direct thrust of the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand.

Qu Fu didn't think that his flesh and blood body could withstand the stab of Zhang Xiu's spear, which had obviously been nurtured to the extreme. If he was stabbed just once, he would have to lie on the ground and be slaughtered like Ma Chao and Pang De.

While Qu Fu was distracted by Zhang Xiu's attention, Ma Chao and Pang De dragged their mounts quickly back to the protective circle of their personal guards and received treatment from the medical soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The medical soldier just reached out to his waist and two injections appeared in his hand. The medical soldier held down Ma Chao, who was the most seriously injured, and then inserted the injection directly into Ma Chao's neck, and then gave Pang De an injection as well.

"What is this?" Pang De's face showed shock. After the injection was injected into his body, he could feel his internal energy being consumed quickly, but the external and internal injuries caused by Qu Fu were also recovering quickly.

Because after a fatal battle with the Northern Huns' captain, Pang De broke through and achieved the state of internal energy leaving the body, and his injuries were completely healed, so he had not come into contact with this special injection for internal energy leaving the body.

"This is a quick recovery injection specially used for leaving the body with internal energy. After use, it will consume a large amount of the patient's internal energy to repair the patient's injuries, so you will be weak for a while." After the medic finished speaking, he picked up the machete aside and went to dig up those comrades and enemies who were not dead yet.

Pang De and Ma Chao didn't care about the weakness mentioned by the medic. They could certainly feel the emptiness in their bodies, but they didn't care. After all, if they fought desperately, they could burst out with considerable strength with just this weak body.

They are now watching the battle between Qu Fu and Zhang Xiu. Should we say that they are worthy of being veteran strongmen? The qualities displayed by both sides are beyond the ability of the two of them who are new to internal energy leaving the body. Of course, it is only for a short period of time.

Because of the blockage of the cloud energy, Qu Fu and Zhang Xiu were unable to use internal energy and had to rely on their own qualities, skills, and willpower to fight. However, even without internal energy, the fighting power they unleashed was no weaker than when Ma Chao used his internal energy just now.

Zhang Xiu waved the spear in his hand wantonly. He had never felt so comfortable as he did now. The dormant will that had been suppressed by his uncle for ten years was being awakened little by little.

The tip of the spear cut through the air, bringing the hymn of death to Qu Fu. Qu Fu was not willing to be outdone, and used the blade of his knife to send a light of tearing through the air to Zhang Xiu.

The two men fought until the surrounding ground was torn apart. No soldiers dared to approach them, because even the air waves they casually waved out contained terrifying lethality to ordinary soldiers, but of course it was nothing to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"If I kill you, I will be able to break through to the extreme of internal energy leaving the body." Zhang Xiu pointed his spear directly at Qu Fu. Even though he was breathing heavily at this moment, his will did not feel tired at all. It would be better to say that this hearty battle allowed his will to be greatly relaxed. How could he possibly feel tired?

"Haha, I'm the only one who can break through the limit of internal energy leaving the body." Qu Fu said unwillingly, even though his chest and abdomen were cut open by the tip of Zhang Xiu's spear. However, he did not lie, as he did see an opportunity for a breakthrough in Zhang Xiu.

Like Zhang Xiu, Qu Fu's intuition told him that as long as he killed the opponent, he would be able to immediately break through the limit of internal energy leaving the body, kill three opponents with internal energy leaving the body, and then lead his troops to defeat the opponent's 15,000 cavalry, and then trample on Chang'an and capture the Han emperor in the city, or kill him on the spot.

"Anyone can talk big, but if you can do it, just give it a try." Zhang Xiu said with disdain. This guy, who could only tie with him by relying on secret techniques, still wanted to kill him to advance. What a fool he was.

Qu Fu's face darkened. As expected, Zhang Xiu had seen through his true identity. However, it was not a big problem as his secret amplification technique had not yet reached its maximum power.

"Then come on!" Qu Fu made up his mind and directly activated the Blood Burning Secret Technique to the maximum to open up the channels of internal energy and blood. The internal energy connected with blood would no longer be restricted by the cloud for the time being.

The internal Qi that was deeply influenced by Qi and blood even showed a tendency to transform into Qi and blood. If it were not for Qu Fu's will that restrained this change, perhaps Qu Fu's internal Qi would really be swallowed up by his own Qi and blood.

Although this transformation will greatly strengthen Qu Fu's Qi and blood, the increase is only temporary and not permanent, while the internal Qi that is devoured is permanently consumed.

In other words, if Qu Fu's internal energy had been devoured from the point where it left the body, to the point where it had just entered the stage of leaving the body, then Qu Fu would need to start practicing again until his internal energy reached the point where it left the body again.

However, if you use the normal limit-breaking will to restrain this transformation, then this permanent transformation will not happen, but will be temporary. As long as the secret technique is turned off within the limited time, the internal energy level will not drop. It is just a simple consumption of internal energy, but the amount of internal energy consumed is a bit terrifying.

After using the secret technique to open the channels of internal energy and blood, Qu Fu's aura suddenly surged, and circles of blood-colored flames appeared around him. After the blood-colored flames wrapped around the weapon, they actually exploded with the effect of internal energy.

"!" Zhang Xiu looked at the blade coming towards him with horror. He didn't expect that Qu Fu had this skill. He could use his internal energy stably under the cloud, which was an incredible secret technique.

Although Zhang Xiu knew very well that the bloody aura emerging from Qu Fu's body was not internal energy, it did not prevent the aura from exerting the effect of internal energy, and this was enough.

"Dang!" Zhang Xiu was knocked back three steps, and then a blood-red sword light extended from Qu Fu's blade, which was condensed from the blood-red aura emerging from Qu Fu's body.

"Oh, do you really think you are the only one who can use internal energy under the clouds?!" Zhang Xiu let out a long roar and directly activated the secret technique he got from his master.
