Chapter 1098: Pei Yuanying
Chapter 1098: Pei Yuanying
September 26, 2017
At the foot of Lingzhi City in Youzhou,
Hundreds of thousands of undead soldiers stood in orderly battle formations, and behind them were tens of thousands of elite demon legions, exuding a dense aura of bloodthirst and an astonishingly evil presence.
However, neither the disciplined undead army emitting a deathly aura nor the towering demon legions with their intense bloodlust and sinister aura could compare to the eye-catching figure standing amidst these two legions.
This individual's entire body was exposed without a hint of blood-colored mist to conceal it, boldly revealing his true appearance.
He appeared to be only around twenty years old, wielding two grotesquely shaped war hammers. His features resembled those of Lu HaiKong, but despite his brutal choice of weapon, his face was delicate, and if not for his crimson eyes, he would undoubtedly give off a 'pretty boy' vibe.
At this moment, whether it was Lu HaiKong and his group atop Lingzhi City or the Blood Demon Generals behind the Undead Army and Demon Legions below, none dared to underestimate the young man.
The Blood Demon Generals were well aware of the youth's identity and his impressive battle records, while Lu HaiKong and his companions were awed by the terrifying aura emanating from the youth.
If anyone had a deep understanding of the young man's strength, it was undoubtedly Lu HaiKong.
As soon as the youth stepped forward, Lu HaiKong's eyes glowed with a golden light, instantly analyzing the youth's attributes. Due to the absence of blood mist, the youth's attributes were not obscured, and Lu HaiKong could see them clearly.
However, it was precisely because Lu HaiKong understood the youth's attributes that he fully grasped the extent of his abnormality.
Pei Yuanying
Identity: Beyond-Realm Demon/Special Historical General from the Sui and Tang Dynasties
Affiliation: Unknown
Abilities:
Combat Strength: 100, Politics: 55, Strategy: 50, Command: 60
Main Cultivation Art: Dragon Elephant Art
Main Martial Skill: Dragon Elephant Hammer
General Trait: Demon Transformation, Dragon Elephant Power (Unique)
Demon Transformation: An exclusive trait of top-tier historical generals from beyond the realm. Upon activation, the general transforms into a demon, experiencing an incredible boost in combat strength.
Dragon Elephant Power (Unique): A special trait that passively amplifies the user's strength by three times.
When actively activated, it further triples the user's strength on top of the existing amplification.
Immune to most control-type general traits, Daoist techniques, and items. Simultaneously, it increases the user's defense to three times that of a Mythical Grade armor.
These were the attributes Lu HaiKong observed in the youth. Upon seeing them, Lu HaiKong fell silent for a long moment.
Undoubtedly, the figure below the city walls shared a name similar to Pei Yuanying, the historical general Lu HaiKong had previously slain, differing by only one character. However, their strengths were worlds apart. This individual was the third-ranked hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and his abnormal power was evident from his attributes.
Although his combat strength was only 100, seemingly three points lower than Wei Chigong's, the situation was not as simple as it seemed.
Wei Chigong's attributes were likely the result of activating Demon Transformation, while Pei Yuanying's attributes were without any such enhancements. Even with a combat strength of 100, Lu HaiKong was certain that if Wei Chigong were to engage in combat with Pei Yuanying, he would struggle to withstand even a few blows.
"What, with such a large army, is there no one brave enough to face me, Pei Yuanying?"
As Lu Haikong examined Pei Yuanying's attributes, the man below continued his provocation, his gaze filled with arrogance and disdain. He struck his war hammer against the ground, creating an ear-piercing sound, and Pei Yuanying continued.
"You guys talk big, acting all high and mighty. You had the guts to kill Qu Tupo and capture Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chigong. But now, you don't even have the courage to challenge me? After all this, it turns out you're just a bunch of cowards who only know how to bully the weak and use underhanded tactics!"
It was a simple tactic to provoke the enemy, and it wouldn't have worked on Lu Haikong, not even the Lu Haikong from a few years ago.
But while Lu Haikong wasn't affected, some of the generals around him were. Pan Feng and the others couldn't hide their displeasure upon hearing these words.
They had been following Lu Haikong for so long, and this was the first time they had been taunted like this while being blocked outside a city. Each of them was itching to go down and strike Pei Yuanying.
However, they didn't act on their impulses, not because they didn't want to, but because Lu Haikong stopped them. On one hand, Lu Haikong was well aware of Pei Yuanxiao's combat strength, which was far beyond ordinary. None of his men could match him in a one-on-one fight, and even Huang Zhong and Dian Wei together might not be able to defeat him.
On the other hand, Lu Haikong was also wary of the enemy's hidden forces.
Just a few days ago, these men had been taught a lesson by Lu Haikong, and now they had the audacity to attack his city walls. Lu Haikong suspected they might have a backup plan, or perhaps a conspiracy would be a more fitting term.
In such a situation, Lu Haikong would never allow his men to engage in a full-scale battle with Pei Yuanying.
It wasn't that Lu Haikong was overly cautious, but he was well aware that against this Demon Legion, any carelessness could be fatal. If they exploited any weakness, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing a battle.
Failure could mean irreversible consequences, and under these circumstances, Lu Haikong knew he had to remain calm.
While Lu Haikong was stopping Pan Feng and the others from challenging Pei Yuanying, the latter had already fixed his gaze on Lu Haikong.
"So, you're Lu Haikong? I thought you'd be some heroic figure, but it seems you're just like anyone else. I'm surprised that a coward like you..."
"How dare you!" "You're asking for it!" "You want to die!"
Before Pei Yuanying could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the furious generals on Lingzhi City.
The generals on Lingzhi City glared at Pei Yuanxiao with burning rage in their eyes, wishing they could tear him apart.
There were over a dozen Strength 90 fierce generals, and most people would have cowered under their intense stares, but Pei Yuanying was no ordinary man. He showed no fear, and the mocking smile on his lips only grew wider, "What? Can't I even call him a coward? Go ahead, curse me all you want, and see what I'll do!"
"You can curse, but you must be prepared to pay the price!"
