Chapter 448: An Old Acquaintance
September 25, 2017
Upon hearing the sound of horse hooves, everyone's expressions changed.
Wang Yue was delighted, as his current situation couldn't get any worse, and any unforeseen event might provide him with an opportunity to escape. On the other hand, Lu HaiKong was not pleased.
"How is Cheng Yi handling things over there? Weren't they supposed to block the road? How did someone still get through?"
Lu HaiKong's eyebrows furrowed, but he quickly regained his composure and gave Pan Feng a look. Pan Feng understood and withdrew from the encirclement around Wang Yue, moving towards the approaching rider.
"Official business ahead, halt!" Pan Feng declared with authority, brandishing his mountain-splitting axe.
Instead of stopping, the rider quickened their pace and shouted, "That's my monster! You're not allowed to hit it!"
The clear and distinct voice of the rider echoed, and as soon as Lu HaiKong heard it, he momentarily lost focus from his plan to capture Wang Yue.
Ever since the rider's arrival, Wang Yue had been highly concentrated, waiting for an opportunity to escape. When he saw Lu HaiKong's momentary distraction, his eyes lit up, and he charged towards Lu HaiKong.
Despite Wang Yue being bullied by Lu HaiKong and his men, he was extremely dangerous. If allowed to get close, he could overpower Lu HaiKong in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Dian Wei and the others desperately tried to stop Wang Yue, but his speed was terrifying when he burst into action. It was no easy task to intercept him. Just as he was about to reach Lu HaiKong, Zhang Daoyi clenched his teeth and flipped his hand, swiftly burning a spell paper.
"Earthbound Prison!"
As the spell paper in Zhang Daoyi's hand burned to ashes, a yellow glow instantly appeared beneath Lu HaiKong's feet.
The spell paper Zhang Daoyi used for the Earthbound Prison was the same one he had mentioned earlier, capable of restricting Wang Yue. However, there were specific requirements for using this paper. At this moment, with Wang Yue charging at full speed, Zhang Daoyi couldn't control him, so he had no choice but to slam the paper onto Lu HaiKong.
The Earthbound Prison not only restricted the target's movement but also provided a certain level of defense. This defense was originally designed to prevent external forces from breaking the effect and rescuing the person, but it now served to protect Lu HaiKong.
Wang Yue's lightning-fast sword strike hit the yellow light in front of Lu HaiKong, causing it to tremble, but it didn't harm Lu HaiKong in the slightest. At that moment, Dian Wei launched a deadly attack.
Under these circumstances, Wang Yue's gaze shifted to the approaching rider, and his eyes lit up as he charged forward.
Wang Yue realized that the horse beneath the rider was exceptionally fine, far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary steed. This guy intended to kill the rider and steal the horse to escape."
Wang Yue seemed to have activated some special ability, and his speed surged once again. In just a few moments, he reached the rider, and before Pan Feng could even react, Wang Yue was already before him.
"Dismount!"
Wang Yue's cold command echoed as he slashed his longsword towards the rider.
Although Wang Yue's sword strike was executed after his burst of power, resulting in reduced strength and speed, he was confident it would still succeed. After all, few could withstand his offense.
However, as Wang Yue's sword slashed out, a domineering tiger's roar filled with awe-inspiring might echoed. Wang Yue's expression changed involuntarily.
A master!
Undoubtedly, the rider was an extremely powerful expert, perhaps not on par with Dian Wei but still the most formidable presence among them.
Such an opponent was usually no match for Wang Yue, but it was an extremely inopportune moment.
As Wang Yue brandished his longsword, a spear responded, effortlessly intercepting his strike.
The spear in the newcomer's hand danced, and with a swift reverse motion, they launched an offensive against Wang Yue.
This person's spear technique was astonishing. Each thrust seemed ordinary, but every move carried an awe-inspiring aura.
Their spearplay seemed to have been honed through blood-soaked battles in hell, exuding a bloody scent, yet simultaneously, it possessed an awe-inspiring dominance.
For a moment, Wang Yue found himself at a disadvantage once again under the opponent's attack.
Witnessing this scene, almost everyone present was stunned. Zhang Daoyi and Taishi Ling searched their minds, trying to identify the historical general who possessed such exquisite and awe-inspiring spearplay.
Several names flashed through their minds, only to be dismissed one by one.
Lu HaiKong, still trapped in the earthbound prison, also wore a look of shock. But his astonishment was purely due to the other's terrifying strength.
"I know, I know who she is!"
A flash of inspiration struck Zhang Daoyi, and he suddenly shouted out loud. Zhang Daoyi and Lu HaiKong both turned to look.
In a book, he saw the correct version!
"Who is it? Which historical general is so formidable?" Taishi Ling asked.
"No, she's not a historical general. She's an immortal like us, and she stands at the pinnacle of immortals. She's a rare female loose warrior general."
As Zhang Daoyi spoke, Taishi Ling immediately recalled and blurted out, "Mu Lao..."
Before he could finish the third word, Zhang Daoyi, quick as lightning, covered his mouth and continued, "Yes, you're right. It's the Female Warrior Deity, White Tiger Divine General?"
Hearing the name White Tiger Divine General, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but smile, "Is this lass famous?"
Perceiving the slightly intimate tone in Lu HaiKong's voice, Zhang Daoyi broke into a cold sweat, thinking to himself, 'That was close. Good thing I stopped him from saying 'Mother Tiger' out loud, or we'd have offended more than just that Mother Tiger.'
As he felt relieved, Zhang Daoyi quickly explained to Lu HaiKong, "The Female Warrior Deity's fame isn't widespread. It's only known among high-level loose immortals. And what she's most famous for isn't her combat strength, but her unwavering pursuit of martial techniques."
"In every battle, she puts herself in the most dangerous situations, as if she can only achieve the greatest breakthroughs in martial arts by placing herself in deadly peril. She's either grinding monsters in dungeons or on her way to do so. Over the past year, her figure has been spotted in various advanced dungeons across the Central Plains. She's either fighting monsters or recovering from injuries."
"She sounds quite miserable; how did she become so famous?" Lu HaiKong's voice lowered slightly involuntarily.
"I know why," Zhang Daoyi replied. "Once, a Lord Outsider took a liking to her and wanted to recruit her, but she refused. This enraged the Lord Outsider, who tried to abduct her forcibly. She went on a rampage and single-handedly eliminated their entire army of five hundred, including a warrior general with a combat strength of eighty or more."
"What about that Lord Outsider?" Lu HaiKong asked coldly.
Zhang Daoyi and Taishi Ling exchanged glances, swallowed, and replied, "She killed him."
Well, Lu HaiKong had wanted to avenge him, but the other party had already taken care of it...
