Chapter 1106: Defeating Pei Yuanying
September 28, 2017
In Youzhou, within Lingzhi City.
As Huang Zhong's aura surged, not only was Pei Yuanying stunned, but even Huang Zhong himself couldn't understand what was happening to his body.
During Huang Zhong's breakthrough, it was Pan Feng's General Trait that lent him a helping hand.
Why did Lu Hai Kong bring Pan Feng over while Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were fighting Pei Yuanying? Lu Hai Kong didn't intend for Pan Feng to assist; he knew the capabilities of his generals better than anyone.
He was well aware that although Pan Feng's combat strength was decent, he was no match for Pei Yuanying.
With Pei Yuanying's terrifying strength, Pan Feng's axe would be of little help and might even hinder Huang Zhong. Yet, Lu Hai Kong, fully aware of this, still sent Pan Feng over, all for the sake of his General Trait.
Pan Feng was one of the few generals under Lu Hai Kong with a Unique-tier General Trait. His Unique-tier General Trait, 'Unmatched General', could gather the strength of his troops to enhance combat prowess.
Initially, Pan Feng's General Trait could only enhance his own strength and that of his lord, Lu Hai Kong. However, after upgrading, it could boost the combat prowess of allies, and theoretically, this enhancement had no limit!
It was because of this General Trait that Lu Hai Kong had assigned Pan Feng here.
Pan Feng did not disappoint Lu Hai Kong's expectations and successfully activated his General Trait at a critical moment!
In that instant, the power of Pan Feng's direct subordinate unit, the Iron Blood Guard, was gathered by him and then poured into Huang Zhong's body without reservation.
It was this surge of power that caused the energy in Huang Zhong's body, which had been about to surge back to his heart, to erupt once more. This time, he could clearly feel that the power from his heart was even stronger than before.
With the added boost from Pan Feng, Huang Zhong's aura underwent a transformation almost instantly.
Huang Zhong heard a 'snap', and it felt like something had shattered before his eyes. The world became clearer than ever before, and in that moment, the phantom behind him reappeared, growing larger in the wind. Although it was still far from matching Pei Yuanying's, the phantom continued to expand.
Witnessing this, Pei Yuanying was not alarmed but instead delighted. He had thought Huang Zhong wouldn't break through, but now that he had, Pei Yuanying was thrilled. "This is good! Now that he's broken through, I can finally have a satisfying battle!"
In fact, Pei Yuanying could have interrupted Huang Zhong's breakthrough at any moment, but he chose not to. It seemed that instead of a quick victory by disrupting Huang Zhong's advancement, he desired a more exhilarating fight.
As Pei Yuanying made this move, the middle-aged scholar beside Du Rouhui outside Lingzhi City, without seeing anything, understood the situation perfectly. The scholar's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "General Pei, please consider the bigger picture and..."
Before the scholar could finish, Pei Yuanying's impatient voice rang in his ear, "Enough, you don't need to say anything. I know what to do. Letting him break through is fine; even if he does, it won't amount to much."
Then, Pei Yuanying unilaterally cut off communication with the middle-aged scholar.
The scholar could only sigh in response to Pei Yuanying's impulsive behavior.
Almost simultaneously, as Pei Yuanying severed contact with the scholar, Huang Zhong's breakthrough was complete.
After his breakthrough, Huang Zhong did not immediately attack Pei Yuanying but instead gave him a deep look.
Pei Yuanying's recent actions left Huang Zhong feeling conflicted. The other party had the chance to interrupt his breakthrough but chose not to. Regardless of Pei Yuanying's intentions, Huang Zhong couldn't bring himself to fight immediately after his breakthrough.
"Don't look at me like that. I just want a satisfying battle! Now that you've broken through, we can finally have a proper fight!"
While Huang Zhong's expression was complex, Pei Yuanying had no such concerns. With a light laugh, he swung his twin hammers and charged towards Huang Zhong.
As Pei Yuanying rushed forward, Huang Zhong's gaze intensified. No matter how complex his feelings were before, at the moment of battle, Huang Zhong was fully focused. Regardless of Pei Yuanying's intentions, if he wanted to fight, Huang Zhong was ready to face him.
Huang Zhong raised his ancient mysterious sword and charged towards Pei Yuanying. The two true powerhouses, both beyond the top tier, began their battle.
Just as Huang Zhong and Pei Yuanying's fight erupted, Lu Hai Kong's figure appeared above them.
Lu Hai Kong stood atop the city wall, his eyes gleaming with a golden light, as he glanced at the system prompt he had received moments ago while observing the battle between Huang Zhong and Pei Yuanying below.
【Your subordinate Huang Zhong's combat strength has increased, currently at (99+1), entering the (Pseudo-Breakthrough to Hundred) realm. Do you wish to accept the character attribute (Breakthrough to Hundred) quest?】
This system prompt had appeared when Huang Zhong achieved his breakthrough, and Lu Hai Kong had initially thought it was a notification for Huang Zhong's combat strength reaching a hundred. But to his surprise, it turned out to be a quest prompt.
Huang Zhong had already reached the pinnacle at 99, and with Pan Feng's support, he still hadn't achieved a true breakthrough. He needed to complete some task to accomplish this.
It seemed the system was quite strict about controlling character attribute breakthroughs, and it wasn't something one could achieve easily.
Perhaps it was because Huang Zhong hadn't truly broken through that he hadn't triggered the system's restriction penalty.
Lu Hai Kong glanced at the system prompt and casually dismissed it. Whether he broke through or not, as long as his combat strength increased and he could defeat Pei Yuanying, it didn't seem to matter much.
However, as he watched the battle between Pei Yuanying and Huang Zhong below, Lu Hai Kong, with his golden eyes, found it a bit difficult to comprehend.
Undoubtedly, both combatants below were at the level of a hundred, but their fighting prowess gave Lu Hai Kong a sense of restraint.
On Huang Zhong's side, Lu Hai Kong could understand his restraint due to concerns about the city wall and the soldiers within, but Pei Yuanying was acting similarly. Despite claiming to fight with full force, he never truly unleashed his full potential.
This situation left Lu Hai Kong perplexed. He couldn't understand what Pei Yuanying was up to.
Lu Hai Kong's confusion was shared by Huang Zhong, who was even more bewildered as he fought Pei Yuanying.
The battle between Huang Zhong and Pei Yuanying was indeed intense, but Huang Zhong always felt that Pei Yuanying's moves lacked a certain killing intent.
At this moment, Pei Yuanying seemed less intent on killing Huang Zhong and more on helping him familiarize himself with his newly advanced powers.
Pei Yuanying's strange behavior aroused suspicion in Huang Zhong and Lu Hai Kong, making them wonder what he was up to. Could Pei Yuanying be a spy?
However, Lu Hai Kong's doubts were soon dispelled as the battle between Pei Yuanying and Huang Zhong took a turn.
Pei Yuanying, who had been somewhat restrained, suddenly unleashed his full power. His red eyes flashed with an unusual light, and with his twin hammers, he struck three consecutive blows, sending Huang Zhong flying.
After knocking Huang Zhong away, Pei Yuanying showed no intention of pursuing him. Instead, he turned to face Lu Hai Kong, his red eyes gleaming with a cold light. After a brief pause, he leaped towards Lu Hai Kong!
As Pei Yuanying charged at Lu Hai Kong, the latter felt as if the man before him was no longer Pei Yuanying but a massive truck hurtling towards him at a hundred miles per hour.
The overwhelming pressure left Lu Hai Kong feeling helpless.
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong experienced the same sensation Huang Zhong had just felt, and the pressure he endured was even greater, as Lu Hai Kong's pure combat strength was inferior to Huang Zhong's.
Nevertheless, Lu Hai Kong maintained a calm expression on his face.
Even as Pei Yuanying closed in, a cold smile curved Lu Hai Kong's lips.
The next moment, a thunderous shockwave descended as Zhang Man Cheng's concentrated military might struck Pei Yuanying.
Simultaneously, Lu Hai Kong activated 【Unmatched Tyrant】, and several fierce generals by his side joined the attack, including Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and a dozen other powerful warriors, who struck at Pei Yuanying with their weapons without hesitation.
The thunderous military might and the amplified attacks of over a dozen warriors descended upon Pei Yuanying, and even at the level of a hundred, he couldn't withstand such an assault.
As Pei Yuanying fell, Huang Zhong, who had been knocked away, charged back, swinging his battle sword mercilessly towards Pei Yuanying's head.
Just as Pei Yuanying was about to be beheaded by Huang Zhong, a blood-red light screen appeared, shielding Pei Yuanying from the blow.
However, the light screen only blocked one strike before dissipating, and as it vanished, a small blood-red hole appeared behind Pei Yuanying, swallowing him whole. The hole then disappeared as mysteriously as it had appeared.
At that moment, Lu Hai Kong received a system prompt.
【Congratulations on successfully expelling the 【Beyond Top General】 Pei Yuanying back to the realm beyond. You have received a blessing from heaven and earth!】
