Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 991 Xu Chu breaks out
Outside Ancheng, the situation on the battlefield gradually changed.

Gao Shun led his troops to try to chase down the army led by Cao Ren and others, but the cavalry led by Huang Zhong broke in and directly cut off his army.

"Everyone says Gao Shun is a great name, so I took your head to prove that Huang Zhong is not old."

Huang Zhong slapped his phoenix-beak knife and charged straight at Gao Shun.

"General, be careful..."

A Han army general who had witnessed the bravery of this veteran warrior before instinctively stood in front of Gao Shun and charged towards Huang Zhong.

"You don't know what you can do." Huang Zhong snorted coldly and chopped forward with his Phoenix-beak knife. The knife was as fast as lightning and with such force that the general was beheaded before he could react.

"Gao Shun, if you have the guts, fight me to the death." Huang Zhong shouted provocatively, but Gao Shun didn't even look at him.

Gao Shun just waved his hand, and a team of heavy shield soldiers surrounded Gao Shun. Behind the heavy shields, more than a hundred soldiers were holding crossbows. When Huang Zhong was rushing forward, those crossbows were fired at the same time.

"Sususususu..."

No less than a hundred crossbow arrows shot towards him at the same time, which startled Huang Zhong and made him lean back quickly.

He only felt that the crossbow arrows passed by him at a very fast speed. Although they did not touch him at all, the air waves caused by them still made Huang Zhong's face feel a little painful.

"What a powerful crossbow!"

Huang Zhong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

However, even in the face of this iron-like protection, he did not become timid, but became more excited.

"Come, let's see whether your shield is stronger or Huang's sword is sharper."

He stepped on his horse and rushed out, slashing upward with his phoenix-beak knife.

"Boom..."

The phoenix-beak knife chopped on the heavy shield, but it only caused the shield to rise slightly by half an inch before falling again. The sharp blade only left a scratch on the shield surface.

"Hiss... This heavy shield is so heavy and strong, no wonder the Han Wu soldiers are invincible."

Just as Huang Zhong was sighing with emotion, the Divine Crossbow behind the heavy shield finished loading arrows again. After a few light sounds, another batch of crossbow arrows shot over, and Huang Zhong hurriedly dodged away.

He charged several times in succession, but was helpless. Seeing that he could not kill Gao Shun at all, Huang Zhong, although angry and annoyed, had to give up and instead joined up with his cavalry and charged into Gao Shun's army.

Gao Shun glanced at Huang Zhong and waved to the messenger beside him, who immediately waved the command flag.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Shun's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly split into two teams.

A team of light infantry quickly pursued Cao Ren, while another team of heavy infantry surrounded Huang Zhong and his cavalry.

Although Gao Shun quickly gained an absolute advantage, Zhu Ye was in danger.

Dian Wei's sudden outburst of strength caught Zhu Ye off guard. With Xu Chu's assist from the side, Zhu Ye was quickly defeated.

"Dian Wei, well done. If we can kill Liao, it will be like cutting off Liu He's arm."

Cao Cao was encouraging Dian Wei not far away, making his attack more and more fierce.

"Damn it..." Zhu Ye was filled with indignation. "How come this guy's martial arts suddenly increased so much? This is too unusual."

He was just thinking about something when Dian Wei hooked his double hammers with his double halberds and kicked out at the same time, hitting Zhu Ye in the lower abdomen. Zhu Ye felt a pain and was kicked back a few steps.

Before he could steady himself, Xu Chu's machete had already hit his ear.

"Heh..." Zhu Ye growled and quickly raised a sledgehammer and swung it over.

"Dang..." Xu Chu's strength was much inferior to Zhu Ye's. Under this blow, Xu Chu was shocked and felt severe pain in the palm of his hand, which almost burst apart.

However, before Zhu Ye could be happy, Dian Wei's double halberds stabbed in front of him.

Cao Cao, who was not far away, felt his heart pounding and his blood boiling.

"Great! I didn't expect Dian Wei's martial arts to be so advanced that he could surpass Zhu Ye. Although our army suffered a crushing defeat in this battle, if we can kill Zhu Ye, we will actually gain an advantage. Zhu Ye alone is worth thousands of troops. Liu He's loss of this person is more painful than my loss of tens of thousands of troops. I'm afraid he will be a hundred times more heartbroken."

Cao Cao was surprised and delighted by the situation.

Under the attack from Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Zhu Ye was soon stretched to the limit and had to hold on, which made him more and more anxious.

"Damn it... It seems that I can't defeat Dian Wei today..."

However, he turned his gaze to Xu Chu: "I can't beat Dian Wei, but can I beat you? Hey, even if I have to die today, I have to drag you down with me."

Thinking of this, Zhu Ye directly gave up the fight with Dian Wei. While dodging Dian Wei's attack, he attacked Xu Chu with all his strength.

Xu Chu's martial arts were far inferior to his. Before, Dian Wei had tied up most of Zhu Ye's energy, which enabled him to fight until now. Now, facing Zhu Ye's fierce attack, he soon couldn't hold on.

"Zhongkang, be careful..." Dian Wei shouted and went to rescue Xu Chu.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ye suddenly patted the neck of the silver-armored beast under his crotch. The silver-armored beast was in tune with its master, and it suddenly stopped running. Then, it suddenly raised its two hind hooves and kicked hard at Dian Wei who was attacking from behind.

Dian Wei was shocked and tried to block with his double halberds, but he didn't expect that although the speed of this silver-armored beast was not as fast as those of Red Hare, Red Smoke and Jueying, it was born with peculiar bones and its four hooves were extremely powerful. Even though the kick was blocked by Dian Wei's double halberds and the force was weakened by several percent, it still hit Dian Wei's chest.

"Ahem... Dian Wei flew backwards with his halberd.

"Dian Wei..."

Xu Chu cried out in surprise, only to see Zhu Ye's double hammers coming towards him.

"You have time to worry about others, take care of yourself first."

Zhu Ye exerted all his strength and poured it into the two hammers.

When Xu Chu was panicked, he knew that he was not as strong as the opponent, and even if he tried to resist, it would be sudden. He exerted force with his legs and jumped back quickly, trying to avoid the attack.

"Humph, how can you dodge my double hammers so easily?"

Zhu Ye stepped hard on the stirrups with both feet and leaped forward from the horse's back.

"Suffer to death."

The enormous force contained in those two hammers must be more than a thousand pounds.
Xu Chu threw the Tiger Beast King in his hand towards Zhu Ye, but Zhu Ye slapped it away with a hammer. However, this brief moment also gave Xu Chu time to dodge.

He rolled on the ground, and when Zhu Ye's two hammers fell, they hit the ground only three or four inches away from him.

"Huh... so dangerous."

When Xu Chu was about to rejoice, he saw a big foot kicking him. "Bang..." Xu Chu was kicked away by Zhu Ye.

Just as he was about to stand up, Zhu Ye had already come to him again, swinging a sledgehammer towards his chest with great force.

Xu Chu instinctively shrank back, but even so, the spikes on the hammer still cut through the armor on his body.

"Sizzle..." Three cracks appeared on the armor in an instant.

"I'm so angry, I'm so angry!" Xu Chu saw that he was being beaten by Zhu Ye and he had no power to fight back. This extremely aggrieved feeling made him explode with emotions immediately.

"The worst that can happen is death. I will fight you to the death today."

Xu Chu shouted angrily and tore off the damaged armor, even the clothes underneath, revealing his muscular body.

He pounded his chest, then killed the tiger beast king not far from his feet, hooked it with his foot, and picked it up again.

"Wow, come on!"

He suddenly burst out with powerful momentum, and instead of being in a panic where he could only dodge, he took the initiative to attack Zhu Ye.

"Well, you're going to die yourself, that's the best, look at the hammer."

Zhu Ye shouted and went forward
Dian Wei was extremely anxious: "Brother Xu Chu, be careful..."

He took a step forward and ran towards the two of them at a rapid speed.

"System prompt: Xu Chu has activated a new skill - Naked Clothes: When fighting shirtless, his force will increase by 4 points, and he will have a chance to reduce the opponent's force by 2 points at the moment of attack."

"Affected by this special skill, Xu Chu's current comprehensive force has increased to 107 points."

He swung his machete and Zhu Ye used his hammer to deflect it. However, Xu Chu used Zhu Ye's strength to turn the machete around himself, and then chopped from the other direction with even greater force.

"Good boy, you have made some progress."

Zhu Ye was not in a hurry. He used the sledgehammer in his left hand to hold down the machete. Then he raised the sledgehammer in his right hand and smashed it on Xu Chu's forehead.

"Ha!" Xu Chu let out a low roar and actually broke free from Zhu Ye's control, which surprised Zhu Ye a little.

"What's going on? How come this guy has such a breakthrough in martial arts just before the battle?"

Before he could figure out what was going on, he felt a strong wind coming from behind him. Zhu Ye instinctively jumped to the side to avoid Dian Wei's attack from behind, and at the same time, he swung out with both hammers to attack the two of them at the same time.

However, before Xu Chu's violent outburst, Zhu Ye was already struggling to hold on facing the attack from two people, and it was even more difficult to hold on now.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, trapped Zhu Ye tightly. Whenever he tried to dodge the attack of one of them, the other would always block his retreat, forcing Zhu Ye to hold on and withstand the opponent's attack.

As a result, after only twenty or thirty rounds, Zhu Ye was already sweating profusely, and his hands had been repeatedly exerted to collide with the two men, causing his arms to feel a little sore.

"Oh no, if this continues, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble today."

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the sledgehammer in his left hand was accidentally knocked out of his hand by Dian Wei's short spear.

"Ah... my hammer..."

Zhu Ye was about to rush out to pick up the sledgehammer when Dian Wei attacked again with another short spear.

"Wow..." Zhu Ye had no choice but to dismount and run towards the place where the sledgehammer fell. However, just after he ran three steps away, Xu Chu's machete appeared in front of him.

Zhu Ye hurriedly leaned back and knelt on the ground. Using the force from his previous rush, he slid on the ground, and his head just passed by Xu Chu's machete.

"Huh..." After avoiding the attack, he rushed forward and came to the side of the sledgehammer that was knocked flying. He stretched out his hand to pick it up, but how could Dian Wei and Xu Chu let him do as he wished?

"Don't even think about it." Dian Wei took a quick step forward and threw the short spear with all his might. It flew straight towards Zhu Ye's back, but Zhu Ye was so focused on the sledgehammer that he was about to catch that he didn't notice the crisis at all.

At this moment, a sharp arrow came from the sky.

"Whoosh..."

The sharp arrow turned into a stream of light and hit the short spear that was still flying in the air, and actually took the short spear away with it.

"Who?" Dian Wei was horrified. He knew very well how powerful his throw was. Even with Huang Zhong's archery skills, although he could shoot his short spear away, it was absolutely impossible for him to send the short spear flying so far.

This sudden change made Zhu Ye, Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and many other soldiers present look in the direction from which the arrow came.

Immediately, a look of ecstasy appeared on Zhu Ye's face.

"Big brother!"

On the top of a small hill two hundred steps away, there were several figures standing. The person in the middle, riding a jade-white horse, was Liu He. Standing on his left and right were Ye Xiang and Zhang He.

The arrow just now was naturally shot by Ye Xiang.

Cao Cao's face changed: "Liu He actually came... How hateful, he almost killed Zhu Ye..."

Liu He shouted, "Meng De, I haven't seen you for many years, yet you are here to humiliate my fifth brother. Have you ever asked me?"

Cao Cao's expression changed rapidly. Although he felt extremely regretful, he did not lose his rational mind.

He was only temporarily guarding the rear, and the defeat was already decided. There was no way to turn the tide. He just relied on the bravery of Dian Wei and Xu Chu to get a chance to kill Zhu Ye. Now this chance was still fleeting, and Liu He led his army to arrive. If he didn't withdraw his troops, he was afraid that he would really have to stay here.

"The whole army should retreat. Do not linger in the battle. Retreat quickly."

Cao Cao acted decisively and ordered the troops to withdraw.

"My lord, if you give us a little more time, we will definitely be able to kill Zhu Ye."

Dian Wei and Xu Chu looked unwilling, but Cao Cao frowned and shouted: "Military orders cannot be disobeyed, retreat immediately!"

The two of them could only look at Zhu Ye unwillingly, and then quickly escorted Cao Cao to retreat.

"Wow, you want to leave? It's not that easy. My big brother is here, how can I let you go?"

Zhu Ye picked up the sledgehammer on the ground, remounted the silver-armored beast, and shouted to the surrounding Thundergod Riders: "Brothers, the emperor is here, we must give the Thundergod Riders a good show of honor, follow me..."

"Kill..." The Thundergod Knights rushed out like a flood.

Ye Xiang asked Liu He impatiently: "Your Majesty, shall we..."

Liu He looked at him and mentioned his Yang Ming Po Ni Zhan: "Now that we have caught up, how can we not fight? Follow me to hunt down Cao the thief!"

Ye Xiang and Zhang He's faces lit up with joy. Without saying a word, they led their respective troops and followed Liu He to chase after him.
