In Zhang Xiong's eyes, Lu HaiKong's group of bandits was nothing more than a pack of crumbling rabble.
Previously, they had easily defeated the Black Wind Fort with just two hundred cavalry against hundreds of bandits, and throughout the entire battle, they had only suffered a dozen casualties. In this situation, he had no reason to believe that he couldn't take down the few hundred bandits that Lu HaiKong had brought.
Both Pei Yuan Shao and Lu HaiKong noticed Zhang Xiong's unusual behavior, but seeing that he had no intention of interfering with their fight, they both tacitly refrained from reacting.
Pei Yuan Shao's thoughts were similar to Zhang Xiong's, and Lu HaiKong's thoughts were also in line with Pei Yuan Shao's. Lu HaiKong was confident in the bandits under his command. Currently, the battalion commanders of the three battalions were Zhao Gang and Wang Yi, and with them and several members of the Flame Battalion, Lu HaiKong didn't believe his bandits would lose.
Zhang Xiong initiated the charge, and the battle quickly commenced.
However, to Zhang Xiong's surprise, after he began his charge, the bandits on the opposite side didn't counter-charge to engage, but instead, they just ran away!
What the hell was this? They had come with such ferocity, seeking revenge, and now they were running away as soon as he charged?
"Tsk, a mob is just a mob. They don't even have the courage to fight to the death. Chase them! Don't let them get away!" Zhang Xiong was unwilling to give up this opportunity to establish merit, so he led his troops in pursuit.
"These are your men? They ran away before the fight even started. I've never seen anything like this; it's an eye-opener." Pei Yuan Shao mocked Lu HaiKong while engaging him in fierce combat, but Lu HaiKong paid no heed and continued fighting.
Lu HaiKong's strength surprised Pei Yuan Shao. This young man not only possessed astonishing arm strength but also had a solid foundation and a formidable attacking aura. Initially, Pei Yuan Shao could match him blow for blow, but after a few clashes, when Lu HaiKong gathered his momentum, Pei Yuan Shao found it increasingly difficult to hold his own against Lu HaiKong.
Pei Yuan Shao feinted a move, dodging Lu HaiKong's Ghost Mask Axe, and said, "Fine, kid. I admit you have the strength to make me take you seriously, but our fight ends here. You're not my match!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of savage aura emanated from his body, rushing towards Lu HaiKong.
Lu HaiKong's face paled as he was hit by this savage aura. This was the first time he had experienced such a blow. Previously, when fighting the Iron Family Brothers, neither side had used their auras, perhaps because Lu HaiKong's Mountain Opening Axe aura had canceled it out.
But now, Pei Yuan Shao's aura was exceptionally fierce. As it rushed towards Lu HaiKong, he not only felt discomfort but also sensed a wild, resilient, and domineering aura within him, as if it were being offended. It roared with anger but couldn't break free from its shackles to emerge from Lu HaiKong's body.
"Let it out, let it out, and I can break through!"
For the first time, Lu HaiKong had an unprecedentedly clear understanding of how to achieve his breakthrough.
At that moment, Pei Yuan Shao charged at him once again.
"Kid, you've been holding me down for so long. Now it's my turn to make you suffer. Are you ready to die?"
In an instant, the savage aura surrounding Pei Yuan Shao intensified, and with his first move, his saber technique transformed from the basic saber technique to the Fiendish Eighteen Sabers.
Pei Yuanshao's Fiendish Eighteen Sabers emphasized aura, with ruthless and brutal saber techniques. Combined with the Malevolent Qi on Pei Yuanshao's body, the two forces merged, unleashing an astonishing combat power.
Once again, standing alongside Pei Yuanshao, Lu Haikong deeply felt the terror of historical warriors. Lu Haikong had been proud of easily defeating three enemies with strength ratings above 70, but in the blink of an eye, Pei Yuanshao's great saber reminded him not to be too complacent, as his strength was still far from formidable.
Pressure, an unparalleled pressure, Pei Yuanshao was like a brutal beast, and Lu Haikong became the prey of its hunt.
Each of Pei Yuanshao's slashes carried the power to annihilate Lu Haikong, who could only rely on the advantages of his Ghost Mask Axe and Heavy Mountain Armor to withstand the onslaught. The slightest mistake could result in the danger of being beheaded.
However, in this dangerous environment, Lu Haikong was not the least bit tense; instead, he was filled with anticipation. He could sense that as the pressure Pei Yuanshao exerted on him increased, his aura continuously overwhelmed Lu Haikong, causing the roar of the aura within him to become even more tumultuous.
As long as that aura emerged, Lu Haikong believed he could overpower Pei Yuanshao. But for some reason, that aura refused to manifest, even though it had reached its boiling point. It remained trapped within Lu Haikong's body.
The breakthrough was slow to come, and Pei Yuanshao's attacks grew increasingly fierce with each strike. After Pei Yuanshao's sixteenth slash, Lu Haikong found it increasingly challenging to hold on, relying solely on the special effect of his Ghost Mask Axe to barely hold his ground.
When Lu Haikong managed to endure Pei Yuanshao's seventeenth slash, the latter's offensive momentum immediately subsided.
"Has he exhausted his strength?" Lu Haikong was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted, "No, he's gathering his power!"
In the 6191 version, it was clear that Pei Yuanshao was preparing to unleash his most astonishing strike, and Lu Haikong had completely lost confidence in being able to block his eighteenth slash. In this situation, Lu Haikong gritted his teeth, raised his Ghost Mask Axe high, and, taking advantage of Pei Yuanshao's power accumulation, assumed the stance of the Mountain Opening Axe.
This was Lu Haikong's only chance; only by forcefully clashing with Pei Yuanshao's strike using the Mountain Opening Axe could he have a chance at victory.
Pei Yuanshao, upon seeing Lu Haikong's action, showed disdain. The first seventeen slashes of his Fiendish Eighteen Sabers were all about building momentum, and the brief accumulation of power for the eighteenth slash would make its might surpass the previous seventeen. He didn't believe Lu Haikong could withstand it head-on.
Even as Lu Haikong assumed the stance of the Mountain Opening Axe, a wild and domineering aura, almost unreasonable in its intensity, surged forth.
Pei Yuanshao could sense that Lu Haikong's aura was powerful, perhaps even higher in rank than his own Malevolent Qi. However, it was evidently too weak, and Lu Haikong currently lacked the strength to withstand him head-on.
"Kid, let you die in despair!"
Pei Yuanshao's eyes gleamed with a cold light, calmly gathering the aura of his Fiendish Eighteen Sabers to its peak, even deliberately waiting for Lu Haikong to accumulate the aura of his Mountain Opening Axe. When Lu Haikong was fully prepared, Pei Yuanshao slashed with all his might.
"Fiendish Eighteen Sabers!"
"Mountain Opening Axe!"
Lu Haikong's eyes flashed with determination, clenching his teeth as he swung the Ghost Mask Axe down with all his might...
