Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 718: Fierce Battle between Cao and Liu

After Jiang Huan led his troops out, he ran all the way in a panic and soon arrived at the scene of the battle.

Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci were trapped by two teams of Cao's army respectively. Taishi Ci had several thousand cavalrymen with him, but Zhang Fei was alone. He had to fight with Cao's army and guard against the cold arrows that Xiahou Yuan shot from time to time in the distance.

"Wow, you bastard Xiahou, how dare you plot against me, Old Zhang? If you have the guts, fight against your Grandpa Zhang alone!"

Zhang Fei knocked away the sharp arrow shot by Xiahou Yuan with his spear and cried out in anger.

Xiahou Yuan said disdainfully: "Warfare relies on brains, you reckless warrior."

After saying that, he raised his hand and shot another arrow. Although Zhang Fei had been on guard, he could only be on guard for a while. If he continued like this, he would definitely be hit by an arrow.

"Don't hurt my third brother!"

Jiang Huan roared and led his troops to rush forward. The spear in his hand flew up and down. In a blink of an eye, he stabbed many Cao soldiers to death.

"Ha, second brother is here. If you and I join forces, what in the world can stump us?"

Zhang Fei was extremely excited, and his Zhangba Snake Spear became even more powerful.

With Jiang Huan's eight thousand soldiers charging in, the situation on the battle immediately reversed. Zhang Fei and Jiang Huan fought their way forward and soon met together.

"System prompt: Zhang Fei and Jiang Huan trigger the temporary special skill 'Golden Orchid', and their military strength increases by 1 point each."

Zhang Fei shouted in joy: "Second brother, let's rush over and kill Xiahou Yuan first!"

"Well, let's capture the leader first. Let them see what we can do as brothers."

Jiang Huan agreed, and the two of them joined forces to kill Xiahou Yuan together.

Xiahou Yuan's face changed slightly. He shot two arrows in a row, but the opponent dodged them both. During this time, Jiang Huan and Zhang Fei had already approached them by dozens of steps.

"Shameless villain, take my spear!"

Zhang Fei shouted angrily, picked up a Cao army soldier with his Zhangba Snake Spear and threw him out, landing not far in front of Xiahou Yuan.

"Among the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best one. Zhang Fei is extremely brave, so it is better for him to avoid the enemy for the time being."

Xiahou Yuan said secretly, turned around and was about to leave.

"Ahhh, you thief, don't run away!"

Seeing that Jiang Huan was trying to escape, Zhang Fei's movements to kill Cao's soldiers became three times faster, and soon he left Jiang Huan behind.

"Yide, be careful, don't chase!" Jiang Huan reminded him quickly.

"Huh? What?" Zhang Fei was enjoying the fight and didn't hear Jiang Huan's words clearly, so he turned around and asked again.

At this moment, Xiahou Yuan, who had escaped more than a hundred steps, suddenly turned his horse around and shot an arrow.

"Third brother..." Jiang Huan shouted hurriedly, but it was too late. The sharp arrow pierced Zhang Fei's left arm, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Yide..." Jiang Huan was extremely anxious and wanted to chase after him to check on Zhang Fei's injuries. However, the surrounding Cao army suddenly rushed towards him and surrounded him with a much fiercer attack than before. Jiang Huan's martial arts skills were slightly inferior, and for a moment, he could only hastily parry, and had no strength to take care of anything else.

Xiahou Yuan stopped his horse and said: "Meng De is really as good as a god. Now let's see if you, Zhang Fei, can survive? This credit will be taken by me."

He put down his bow and arrow, raised his spear, and rushed towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was grimacing in pain, and when he saw Xiahou Yuan coming to kill him, he was like "enemies meeting, with eyes full of jealousy."

"Wow, you still dare to come here? Do you think I, Old Zhang, am easy to bully? Today, even if we fight to the death, I will not let you succeed!"

He gritted his teeth, grabbed the arrow on his left arm with his right hand, and broke the arrow with force. Then he tore off a piece of cloth from his lapel and bandaged it casually for a while.

At this time, Zhang Fei was covered in blood, his eyes were red and fierce, and his face was full of beard, which was like steel needles, standing upright, like a god of death. Especially when he saw Jiang Huan in danger not far away, he became even more murderous. For a moment, the surrounding Cao soldiers were so scared that they dared not approach him.

"Hey, Xiahou Yuan, accept your fate!"

He endured the severe pain, grabbed the reins with his left hand, and waved the Zhangba Snake Spear with his right hand, and rushed towards Xiahou Yuan.

"System prompt: Zhang Fei has a breakthrough on the battlefield and has learned a new skill, 'God of Killing' - his own killing aura is divided into 1-4 levels, which increase his strength by 1-4 points respectively. Every time he kills an enemy general, his own strength will increase by 1 point, with no upper limit. At the same time, if the enemy general's basic strength is higher than yours, his strength will be reduced by 1 point. If his basic strength is the same as yours, his strength will be reduced by 2 points. If his basic strength is lower than yours, his strength will be reduced by 3 points."

"Zhang Fei's basic force is 97 points. His left arm is injured and his force is reduced by 6 points. His weapons, armor, and mounts are increased by 3 points in total. The special skill 'Roaring' is triggered, which increases his force by 3 points. Roaring once increases his force by 1 point and reduces Xiahou Yuan's force by 1 point. The special skill 'God of Killing' is triggered. The current killing aura is at the third level, which increases his force by 3 points. Xiahou Yuan's basic force is lower than Zhang Fei's, so his force is reduced by 3 points. Zhang Fei's overall force is 101 points."

"Xiahou Yuan's basic force is 94 points. His weapons, armor, and mounts have increased by 3 points in total. He has no special skill bonus. His force is reduced by 3 points due to Zhang Fei's special skill. His current comprehensive force is 94 points."

Xiahou Yuan was shocked by Zhang Fei's sudden shout. When he came to his senses, he saw Zhang Fei with a ferocious look, holding a 10-foot-long snake spear and stabbing it at his face.

"It's coming so fast!" Xiahou Yuan sighed inwardly and raised his spear to block. The spear and the lance collided with each other, causing Xiahou Yuan to feel pain in his palm and causing him great fear.

"How can this black fellow have so much strength with only one arm?"

The thought flashed through his mind and he had no time to think about it carefully because Zhang Fei's second attack had already arrived.

"Go to hell!"

Another loud shout was heard, and Xiahou Yuan seemed to feel that Zhang Fei had become even more ferocious. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared this time, so he was not shocked by the loud shout.

"System prompt: Zhang Fei activated 'Roar' again, and his strength increased by 1 point. His overall strength is 102 points. Xiahou Yuan's strength was not affected."

The Zhangba Snake Spear swept over, and Xiahou Yuan tried hard to block it, but the base of his right hand immediately cracked, and he gasped in pain.

At this moment, he looked at Zhang Fei as if he was looking at a monster. He always thought that although his martial arts were not as good as Zhang Fei's, he was not much inferior. That was why he dared to rush up to take his head after Zhang Fei was injured. However, he did not expect that even though Zhang Fei was injured, he could not even withstand two of his moves.

"How could this... this black fellow be so powerful..."

"Wow, I'll poke you to death!"

Zhang Fei roared again, and his strength instantly increased to 103 points. His Zhangba Snake Spear was like a dragon, stabbing straight at Xiahou Yuan's chest.

Xiahou Yuan quickly used the shaft of his spear to block the Zhangba Snake Spear. However, the huge force that came at that moment actually knocked him flying, and he fell backwards from the horse's back and fell to the ground.

"Oops!"

Xiahou Yuan was instinctively alert, but even though he thought about it, his body had no time to react.

Zhang Fei's eyes seemed to be able to spit fire as he glared at Xiahou Yuan. He shook his right hand and stabbed him with his Zhangba Snake Spear.

However, a flash of knife light appeared and chopped towards Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was already furious, and when he saw someone ruining his plans, he didn't even look at who the person was, but raised his Zhangba Snake Spear and swung it over.

"Ru'nan Cai Yang is here, and I won't allow you to act so recklessly!"

The general said to Xiahou Yuan, "General Xiahou, please leave. I will deal with this black fellow."

After saying that, he swung the sword in his hand and chopped it towards Zhang Fei's head.

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Come back, you are right for him..."

When he was halfway through his words, Zhang Fei had already attacked in anger, thrusting his Zhangba Snake Spear straight out, directly pushing away Cai Yang's sword and piercing through his chest.

"...hand..." Xiahou Yuan uttered the last word in a daze. Looking at Zhang Fei's supernatural aura, he did not dare to stay any longer. He got on his horse again and hurriedly fled while Zhang Fei's spear was still stabbed in Cai Yang's body.

Zhang Fei shook off Cai Yang's body and was about to chase Xiahou Yuan when he suddenly heard Jiang Huan's cry behind him. He hurriedly turned around, only to see that Jiang Huan was in danger and was nearly stabbed by Cao's soldiers several times.

"Second brother, I'm coming too!"

He clamped his grip on Wang Zhui Shenma and rushed forward without hesitation, ignoring the fact that the wound on his left arm was bleeding out of the bandage.

Cao Cao, who was far away, saw the battle situation here, and ordered the messenger beside him to wave a purple flag and blow a horn.

Afterwards, a group of Cao's troops who had just retreated from the city gate quickly surrounded Zhang Fei and others.

Although Liu Bei could not see the battle situation on Zhang Fei's side clearly, he watched Xiahou Yuan escape back, and then saw the army of no less than 20,000, led by Yu Jin and Li Dian, rushing forward to kill them. Under such circumstances, his heart, which had been hanging in his throat, almost jumped out.

"My second and third brothers are in imminent danger. We cannot wait any longer. Open the city gate!"

Jian Yong hurriedly dissuaded him: "My lord, you must not do that. Cao's army is deliberately trying to lure our army out of the city. This is a trick to lure the snake out of its hole. My lord, you must not be fooled."

Liu Bei shook off his hand and said, "My second and third brothers and I have sworn to live and die together. How can I sit idly by and watch them in trouble? Moreover, half of Cao's army has been used to besiege my second brother and his men. If we can break the siege, the danger in the city will be resolved."

"But..." Several people wanted to persuade him again, but Liu Bei no longer listened.

"No need to say more, everyone. You lead the Xuzhou soldiers to continue to defend the city, and I will lead the remaining troops of my own army to rescue. If the city is lost, my three brothers will also die with their lives."

After saying this, he ignored the attempts of several people to stop him, and insisted on running down the city wall and leading his troops to attack.

Soon after he left the city gate, a soldier ran up to Cao Cao and said, "My lord, Liu Bei has led 10,000 soldiers to rescue Zhang Fei and others."

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with lightning: "Feng Xiao's plan really worked. You know the minds and characters of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others. With Feng Xiao's help, why should I worry about not accomplishing my great cause?"

Guo Jia said modestly: "My lord, you are too kind to praise me. I am ashamed to accept it. Liu Bei is known for his benevolence and righteousness. Whether he is willing or not, he must go out of the city to rescue him. My lord has actually expected this. I dare not take credit for it."

Cao Cao smiled, as if he had it all planned out: "Order each army to act according to the plan."
