Chapter 1105: The Terrifying Pei Yuanqing
Chapter 1105: The Terrifying Pei Yuanqing
September 28, 2017
Youzhou, Lingzhi City!
Zhang Man Cheng's Command Trait, War Like Chess, combined with Lu Hai Kong's General Trait, Unmatched Tyrant, created an unbelievable effect, and this was one of Lu Hai Kong's hidden trump cards.
Facing Lu Hai Kong's trump card, Qin Shu Bao's cautious nature saved him from disaster. He had stopped in front of Zhang Man Cheng's command trait long ago and had even directly descended from the city walls, escaping unharmed.
However, the three arrogant newcomers who had just arrived and didn't give Lu Hai Kong a second thought were in for some bad luck. Unprepared, they faced Lu Hai Kong's sudden outburst, resulting in one of them being killed, another severely injured, and the only one with minor injuries would need several days to recover.
It could be said that Lu Hai Kong's outburst had achieved remarkable results.
But just as Lu Hai Kong had achieved these results, before he could even smile, trouble arose on the other side where Pei Yuanqing had entered Lingzhi City.
After Pei Yuanqing's full-health resurrection, the Undead Army and the Demon Legion rushed in through the opened city gates. Lu Hai Kong could only leave him to Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, at most sending Pan Feng to assist them. Besides that, Lu Hai Kong had no time or energy to spare for Pei Yuanqing's situation.
Lu Hai Kong had believed that this lineup should be able to defeat Pei Yuanqing. After all, although Pei Yuanqing was powerful, he couldn't use combat strength that truly exceeded 100. Dian Wei had also broken through, and with Huang Zhong and Pan Feng's support, defeating Pei Yuanqing should have been manageable.
However, despite Lu Hai Kong's meticulous calculations, he hadn't anticipated the problem that arose with Pei Yuanqing. During the prolonged battle with Huang Zhong and the others, Pei Yuanqing once again used combat strength that truly surpassed 100, and even more alarmingly, the system didn't punish him this time.
It seemed that since the system had already punished Pei Yuanqing once before, it wouldn't punish him again for using combat strength over 100 in a short period.
This hidden rule made Lu Hai Kong want to scream in frustration!
Lu Hai Kong had just dealt with those three, and before he could even feel relieved, a massive Dragon Elephant Phantom appeared above Pei Yuanqing's head.
This phantom was different from the one behind Dian Wei and Huang Zhong during their outburst. Pei Yuanqing's phantom covered an area of one square li, and it could be considered a celestial phenomenon. The phantom exuded endless authority, as if that entire area was his divine kingdom.
The appearance of the phantom not only shook Zhang Man Cheng's command trait but also directly affected their battle. Dian Wei was smashed by Pei Yuanqing's hammer onto the Phantom Spear, slamming him into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, rendering him unconscious.
With one powerful outburst, Dian Wei was knocked down, revealing the terrifying strength of Pei Yuanqing.
After knocking out Dian Wei with a single hammer strike, Pei Yuanqing showed no intention of delivering a finishing blow. Instead, he turned his attention to Huang Zhong, raising his battle hammer slightly and revealing a fearless smile, "One down, and now it's your turn!"
Pressure, an immense and unparalleled pressure!
This battle was undoubtedly the most challenging Huang Zhong had ever faced since his debut, even more so than when he confronted Dong Zhuo in the Luoyang Palace.
In Pei Yuanqing, Huang Zhong saw a completely different level of power, a power he had always yearned for.
Huang Zhong, who had been stuck at combat strength 99 for a long time, constantly desired to break through to a new realm. When he first saw Pei Yuanqing, Huang Zhong knew that the power Pei Yuanqing possessed was what he had always dreamed of.
From the moment he laid eyes on Pei Yuanqing, Huang Zhong desperately wanted to fight him, hoping to find a way to break through during their battle.
However, now that his wish had come true, he could indeed fight Pei Yuanqing, and it was against the most powerful version of Pei Yuanqing. But Huang Zhong realized that when facing Pei Yuanqing, he no longer had the capacity to think about breaking through.
Confronting such a formidable opponent, Huang Zhong dared not have any extra thoughts. At this moment, whether it was about breaking through or gaining insights, Huang Zhong put everything aside. His sole thought was how to survive Pei Yuanqing's onslaught.
Facing such a formidable opponent, this was Huang Zhong's only option.
While Pei Yuanying focused his attention on Huang Zhong, Pan Feng, who had been playing it safe during the battle, seized the opportunity when Pei Yuanying's attention was on Huang Zhong, and quietly retreated, quickly distancing himself from the battlefield.
In Pei Yuanying's eyes, Pan Feng's cautiousness was nothing but a joke.
As soon as Pan Feng made a slight move, Pei Yuanying noticed his action, but he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
To Pei Yuanying, the only ones who could barely be considered worthy opponents were Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, as for Pan Feng? He was nothing but a clown, a cowardly one at that. Pei Yuanying didn't feel the need to waste any attention on such a person.
Ignoring Pan Feng's retreat, Pei Yuanying held his battle hammer and slowly advanced towards Huang Zhong.
As he walked, Pei Yuanying stretched his neck, "This farce has gone on for too long, I'm getting tired of it. It ends here. Lie down obediently, and after I finish you off, I'll go after Lu Hai Kong!"
As he spoke, Pei Yuanying's gaze turned cold, and he raised his battle hammer, flashing towards Huang Zhong.
His speed was almost lightning-fast, reaching Huang Zhong in an instant. He lifted his battle hammer and smashed it towards Huang Zhong.
In that moment, to Huang Zhong, Pei Yuanying and his battle hammer seemed to have grown countless times larger, and Huang Zhong felt like a tiny mouse under the hammer. He not only lacked the strength to resist but also felt a hint of fear, a fear of resisting.
As this emotion emerged, Huang Zhong's eyes flashed with anger.
His entire body tensed up, and he entered a state of extreme fury. However, his anger wasn't directed at Pei Yuanying but at himself.
He couldn't believe that he would ever be so afraid that he dared not resist. Huang Zhong despised this version of himself. After fighting for over a decade, when had he ever felt so helpless?
"I may be defeated, but I will never fear battle!"
In this moment, Huang Zhong felt a surge of power from his heart.
This power was incredibly strong, and as it emerged, the pressure from Pei Yuanying's hammer seemed to lessen significantly.
Huang Zhong's eyes lit up with surprise.
He knew that this power was what he had always dreamed of, a power beyond limits, the same level of power that Pei Yuanying currently possessed.
For a moment, Huang Zhong's heart was filled with burning hope.
He believed that if he could master this power, if he could officially break through, he would have the strength to face Pei Yuanying head-on.
At the same time, as Huang Zhong's heart surged with power, Pei Yuanying's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and his hammer-wielding hand paused.
"Interesting, breaking through at this moment? Hmm, no, you're still far from breaking through. It seems that a satisfying battle in this world is impossible."
Pei Yuanying suddenly lost interest, and his hammer continued its descent.
What was terrifying was that Pei Yuanying's retraction and release of the hammer not only didn't reduce its power but seemed to make it even more formidable when it struck again.
In an instant, the pressure Huang Zhong had felt ease intensified, and what was even more frightening was that the power that had surged within him now seemed to be flowing back into his heart.
Realizing this, Huang Zhong knew that his chances of survival were slim.
"I can't believe such a great opportunity has been cut off!"
Huang Zhong's eyes showed a hint of regret, but his actions didn't stop. Despite the circumstances, he didn't give up resisting, and his long sword swung towards Pei Yuanying's hammer.
Pei Yuanying sneered, "You're like a mantis trying to block a chariot! You're out of your league!"
Just as Pei Yuanying sneered, Pan Feng, who had retreated to the side, suddenly shouted, "Unmatched General!"
This unexpected shout caught Pei Yuanying off guard, and at the same time, Huang Zhong felt the power that had started to flow back into his heart surge again, and a formidable power emerged within him...
