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

Chapter 543 Seizing the Opportunity for Victory

"Open it for me!" Zhang Xiu shouted in a low voice, and then two auras, one blue and one red, gushed out from his body, circling around Zhang Xiu's body, spinning and colliding at a high speed, and finally only one aura emitting a faint purple glow was left.

Zhang Xiu opened his mouth and took a deep breath, sucking the purple aura swirling around him. Then Zhang Xiu's momentum suddenly burst out, propping up an invisible field around his body. Within this field, Zhang Xiu would not be affected by the clouds and could use his internal energy at will.

The gushing purple internal energy condensed into a purple halo on Zhang Xiu's body, just like the golden halo of a Super Saiyan.

"If I kill you, I can solidify this state." Zhang Xiu stretched out his hand and pinched in the air. The space seemed to be shattered by Zhang Xiu. One could see a wave of space ripples spreading from where Zhang Xiu grasped the void, as if as long as Zhang Xiu exerted a little more force, he could crush the space.

Qu Fu's face was gloomy. He didn't expect that Zhang Xiu actually had a secret technique that could use internal energy under the clouds. After all, it stands to reason that those who could reach the extreme point of internal energy leaving the body at this point in time would basically not work hard on such minor techniques.

Qu Fu was able to master the secret technique of opening up the qi and blood and internal energy because he had the support of a large force like the Northern Huns. If it were any other small force, it is estimated that no one would even have heard of this secret technique, let alone develop a secret technique that could isolate the cloud seal.

However, when he thought that the middle-aged man opposite was a general of the Han army, Qu Fu was not surprised. After all, they were the Han Dynasty, so there was no need to be surprised at what they showed. It was just a secret technique, not worth being surprised at.

"Want to kill me?" Qu Fu sneered, "Then you have to be able to do it."

Although he said so, Qu Fu's expression was extremely cautious, because he could feel the pressure coming from Zhang Xiu. Qu Fu suspected that the opponent's current state might have reached the extreme point where the internal energy left the body.

While Qu Fu was extremely wary of Zhang Xiu, he also had infinite passion in his inner energy. Zhang Xiu could advance by killing him, so Qu Fu could naturally break through himself by killing Zhang Xiu as well.

Qu Fu already felt that as long as he killed the opponent, he would be able to break through the limit of internal energy leaving the body. Moreover, Zhang Xiu's head would allow him to take a long distance before his internal energy left the body.

After looking at each other, both sides were sure that as long as they killed the other side, they could be promoted on the spot.

"Kill!"*2, Zhang Xiuqu and Fu shouted at the same time, then raised their weapons and swung them wildly at the opponent. The violent internal energy and blood caused a larger-scale tearing of the earth, and the surrounding soldiers once again made more space for the two.

If it weren't for the cloud barrier surrounding them, the little space vacated by the surrounding soldiers would definitely not be enough for these two people to wreak havoc.

"Boom!" The two men's weapons collided wildly, and even their mounts were biting the opposite horse's head.

However, after all, these two people have temporarily gained the ability to use internal energy under the clouds through secret techniques, and this secret technique consumes internal energy extremely terribly, so their current crazy battle can only last for a quarter of an hour at most. Maybe Zhang Xiu can hold on a little longer, but the gap will definitely not be that big.

While Zhang Xiu and Qu Fu were fighting each other frantically, the cavalry units of both sides were also fighting frantically. They all knew that they were sworn enemies, and it was a feud that could never be reconciled.

Therefore, the soldiers on both sides fought extremely frantically. Even if they were stabbed in the heart, they would forcefully hold back the enemy under the influence of their will until the enemy was killed by their comrades, and then they would die with their obsession fulfilled.

Among them, Ma Chao and Pang De performed the best, because among the 30,000 cavalry brought by Qu Fu, there were no other generals with internal energy except him, so the two of them were like wolves among a flock of sheep, they had no match at all, and the enemy soldiers would die if they touched them.

However, Ma Chao and Pang De were not monsters like Lu Bu after all, and they had no way of becoming invincible under the clouds. They just chopped at the soldiers for a while, and then some officers who had practiced Qigong came with their core members to surround Ma Chao and Pang De.

If there had been no cloud gas to seal the internal energy, these people who came to surround Ma Chao and Pang De would not be Ma Chao and Pang De's opponents at all. But now Ma Chao and Pang De's internal energy had been sealed by the cloud gas, and they had no secret technique to temporarily isolate themselves from the cloud gas seal.

So it was natural that Ma Chao and Pang De were held back by a dozen Qigong-cultivating officers and core members, and they were even at a disadvantage. If they did not find a way to break the deadlock, there was a real possibility that they would be captured alive or killed by these people.

"Boom!" The cavalry of both sides crossed each other. Fortunately, all the people on the battlefield were cavalry. They did not stay at a certain point all the time. Like infantry, they could not move forward unless they killed the enemy.

The cavalry passed each other in a staggered manner, and dozens of the Iron Cavalry fell off their horses, while about four hundred of the Qiang Cavalry fell off their horses. This difference in numbers made Ma Chao and Pang De once again realize the terrifying defensive power of the Iron Cavalry.

On the other hand, nearly 800 Hun cavalrymen were killed, outnumbering the Han army by about two to one. After all, the Northern Hun army was mixed with many cavalry units from the Southern Huns and Qiang people.

Although the Northern Huns were leading the way, the Southern Huns and Qiang people would always subconsciously feel inferior when facing the Han army. Their willpower and spirit were inherently weaker than the Han army and the Northern Huns, so it would be strange if they could exert their full strength.

However, when the Southern Xiongnu and Qiang people saw this casualty ratio, their eyes immediately lit up and they were eager to try. It seemed that the two-to-one casualty ratio gave them the confidence to challenge the Han army.

[It's going to be bad.] After seeing this casualty ratio, Ma Chao and Pang De realized that something was wrong. They looked at each other and decided that they must not let the Southern Xiongnu and Qiang people's momentum continue to rise, otherwise, given the number of people on the other side, they might lose this battle.

"Open!" A blue light and a blood-red light appeared from Ma Chao and Pang De's bodies, and then spread to the 15,000 cavalrymen they commanded, and soon enveloped everyone.

"This?" Ma Chao and Pang De looked at each other with pale faces. They had never thought that their legion talents could cover so many people, and that they overlapped with each other. The effects of their two talents could work on their own soldiers.

It must be because of the 5,000 cavalry under Zhang Xiu that the talents of the two of them could be spread to the entire army. Otherwise, Ma Chao and Pang De could not think of any other explanation.

But now is not the time to think about these things. After the Han army lit up its legion talent, the Xiongnu troops on the opposite side also lit up a dark green glow. It was the legion talent released by Qu Fu who was fighting Zhang Xiu. However, Qu Fu's legion talent was not like the legion talents of Ma Chao and Pang De, which covered all the soldiers. It only covered his 5,000 troops, and the other legions did not receive the enhancement of his legion talent.

However, for Qu Fu's legion talent, covering as many people as possible is not a problem, because Qu Fu's legion talent is not a strengthening type of talent, but to block the enemy's sight.

Just like now, after Qu Fu activated the legion's talent, Ma Chao and Pang De found that the Northern Huns' troops were all shrouded in a black fog and they could not see the enemy's movements at all.

Ma Chao and Pang De looked at the enemy army shrouded in black fog and hesitated for a moment whether to charge. After all, no one knew what the black fog was. What if there was some deadly move hidden in the black fog, or the enemy army could see them through the black fog but they could not see the enemy army, what should they do?
Just as Ma Chao and Pang De were hesitating, a purple light emerged from Zhang Xiu's body and quickly turned his 5,000 troops into a purple ocean. Even through the blessing of the Iron Cavalry and the Qiang Cavalry, the blessing of this legion's talent was spread to the Qiang Cavalry as well.

Then Zhang Xiu's rather tired voice came, "Just charge, the defense of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is invincible in the world!"

Ma Chao and Pang De turned their heads to look at the battlefield between Zhang Xiu and Qu Fu. Because there was no cloud barrier, the two of them were able to restore the combat performance as expected when their internal energy left their bodies.

Of course, it was also because without the restriction of the cloud that Zhang Xiu and Qu Fu had already closed their secret techniques. After all, using the secret technique of internal energy under the cloud consumed too much energy, and the speed at which the internal energy could be recovered after leaving the body could not be satisfied.

However, Qu Fu did not cancel the secret technique of strengthening Qi and blood, he just closed the channels of Qi, blood and internal Qi. If all were closed, Qu Fu felt that he could congratulate Zhang Xiu on breaking through the ultimate level of internal Qi leaving the body.

Although Zhang Xiu closed all his secret techniques, the two-color internal energy that had already been integrated did not separate, as if the two-color internal energy had been perfectly integrated.

The fact is, Zhang Xiu has not yet completed the perfect fusion of the two-color internal energy in his body. He is just relying on his own will to forcibly fuse the two-color internal energy together. If Zhang Xiu releases the constraints of his will, Zhang Xiu's purple internal energy will differentiate into red and blue two-color internal energy on the spot.

However, Zhang Xiu only needs to kill Qu Fu on the opposite side and break through the limit of internal energy leaving the body, then the red and blue internal energy in Zhang Xiu's body can be perfectly integrated, and there will be no possibility of self-differentiation, unless Zhang Xiu interferes with the fusion structure of the two-color internal energy with his will.

After Zhang Xiu activated his legion talent and gave orders to Ma Chao and Pang De, he turned his attention back to the enemy in front of him.

Relying on willpower and forcibly integrating the red and blue internal energy, although Zhang Xiu was able to suppress Qu Fu, he did not have an absolute advantage. After all, the improvement brought by Qu Fu's secret technique was still very significant.

In terms of skills, quality, internal energy, and will, the gap between the two is actually not that big. They both have the belief that they must destroy the other side.

However, as both sides began to use their legion talents, Zhang Xiu could keenly sense that the opponent's ability to mobilize internal energy had decreased a lot. After all, while maintaining the activation of the legion talent, he was also expending energy and blood secret techniques at the same time.

Compared to Qu Fu, Zhang Xiu consumed less internal energy for the secret technique. After all, he relied on his own will to maintain the fusion of the two-color internal energy.

Qu Fu naturally realized that this mode was extremely disadvantageous to him, but in addition to Zhang Xiu who was holding him back, the opponent also had Ma Chao and Pang De, two generals with internal energy. If he did not activate his legion talent now, let alone the fact that he only had 30,000 soldiers, even if the number doubled, he would probably be overwhelmed by the opponent's 15,000.

Legion talent not only brings talent blessing, but also blessing in organization, quality, will and so on.

More importantly, for some unknown reason, the Han army on the opposite side could actually withstand the blessing of three legion talents. Although these three legion talents were at the lowest power, it was also a fact that there were three legion talents to bless them.

To be honest, after fighting to this point, Qu Fu had already thought about retreating. The number of Han army's generals with internal energy exceeded his expectations, both in terms of number, combat power, and ability to command troops.

Except for the general who had internal energy out of his body who challenged him in a duel, the other two generals who had internal energy out of their body, although their command level was not very good, and even a little immature, but it can be seen that Ma Chao and Pang De were still very good in this regard.

The two men just followed their intuition and achieved a pretty good record. Pang De still had some traces of command, but Ma Chao relied purely on his own martial arts to command the cavalry under his command.

As the battle continued, Qu Fu's breathing became heavier, while Zhang Xiu became stronger and stronger. Although he inevitably accumulated a lot of fatigue, Zhang Xiu's will became stronger and stronger. He could feel that he had grasped the key to victory.

But Zhang Xiu did not relax and still maintained his utmost attention. Qu Fu was the king of the Northern Huns. God knows whether the Northern Huns had prepared any life-saving trump cards for him. Just like Xu Rong gave him several injections, some were used to restore internal energy and some were used to treat injuries.

"Your will has weakened. It seems that victory belongs to me." Zhang Xiu said calmly. Since the casualties of the Northern Huns' troops rose to 5,000, Qu Fu's condition has obviously become worse.

Qu Fu looked coldly at Zhang Xiu who was still extremely calm. Zhang Xiu was right. Seeing that his legion's talent did not have much effect on the Han army, his mind and will began to waver. He started to think about whether he should retreat now.

After Ma Chao and Pang De received Zhang Xiu's order, they did not understand why Zhang Xiu gave the order for a direct charge. After all, the effect of Qu Fu's legion's talents had not been figured out yet. It would be bad if it had some special effects that caused the troops to suffer heavy losses. Wannian County was not far away, and it was not far from Chang'an.

However, since Zhang Xiu had given the order, Ma Chao and Pang De were not the kind of people who would waste time, so they didn't care about the effects of their talents and just charged forward.

Then Ma Chao and Pang De understood why Zhang Xiu chose to let his troops charge directly. It was true that Qu Fu’s legion talent could block the enemy’s line of sight, but it was of no use to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
