Chapter 526: Yu Du's General Trait
Chapter 526: Yu Du's General Trait
September 25, 2017
Outside Liangqi City, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Everyone stared in disbelief as the formidable and god-of-war-like Left Whisker Eight, who had just been fighting fiercely with Cheng Lian, was struck down by a single axe blow.
The first to react was Yu Du, who stood beside Left Whisker Eight. Witnessing this terrifying display, Yu Du couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, and without a word, he turned and fled.
"You rebel, don't even think of escaping!"
Gao Lan would not let him get away. With a flash of coldness in his eyes, he brandished the large axe in his hand and pursued Yu Du.
Lu HaiKong himself had made his fortune in the warhorse business. While amassing wealth from warhorses, Lu HaiKong also ensured that his subordinates were equipped with the best warhorses.
Although Gao Lan had only recently joined Lu HaiKong's forces, his exceptional abilities had impressed Lu HaiKong greatly. The warhorse Lu HaiKong bestowed upon him was also extraordinary, falling short of the standard of exotic beasts but still far superior to Yu Du's mount.
So, even though Yu Du fled first, Gao Lan, who was only a few steps behind, quickly caught up.
"Die with me!"
In just a few strides, Gao Lan reached Yu Du and swung his large axe, aiming for Yu Du's neck. At that moment, a piercing sound tore through the air, and an arrow flew straight towards Gao Lan's face.
The archer was clearly no ordinary person. This arrow came with a fierce force that could not have been shot by a historical general with a strength value below 80.
Gao Lan was startled. He spun his war axe and abandoned his attempt to kill Yu Du, instead deflecting the arrow.
Taking advantage of this delay, Yu Du managed to escape with his life.
At the same time, from the direction of Liangqi City, two generals emerged, and they were none other than Zhao Hong and Han Zhong, Zhang Mancheng's trusted subordinates. They arrived beside Yu Du, and Zhao Hong, after witnessing Han Zhong's arrow saving Yu Du from certain death, mocked him.
"Who was it that kept boasting about avenging Earth God General, yet now looks so pathetic?"
Yu Du's face turned red, but at this moment, he had no retort, nor could he deny it, as it was indeed they who had saved him.
Just as Zhao Hong was about to say something more, Han Zhong interrupted him.
"No more words. Let's kill that Han general first!"
Although Gao Lan had just split Left Whisker Eight with his axe, Han Zhong held no fear towards Lu HaiKong. Insiders understand the truth, while outsiders enjoy the spectacle. The reason Left Whisker Eight was so easily killed by a single axe blow was simply because he underestimated Gao Lan's strength; otherwise, he wouldn't have been slain so easily.
To ordinary people, Gao Lan seemed invincible, but to Han Zhong and his companions, he was just that formidable.
And now, Gao Lan was still relentlessly pursuing Yu Du, even though Yu Du already had two helpers by his side. In their eyes, this was a suicidal move.
Han Zhong and the other two exchanged a glance and charged towards Gao Lan.
These three were historical generals with strength values above 80, and their abilities were formidable. Seeing the three of them attacking together, Zhang Mancheng felt slightly relieved.
In his opinion, even if these three generals couldn't kill Gao Lan, they could at least defeat him. Although Zhang Mancheng had not agreed to Yu Du's departure from the city, now that he was already out, it was impossible to call him back. Therefore, they had to win this battle, or it would be a significant blow to the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers in Liangqi.
Zhang Mancheng glanced at the city below and turned to descend the city wall, preparing to leave the city himself!
In this short moment, Gao Lan and Han Zhong's group had already engaged in battle.
On one side was a top-tier general with a strength value approaching 90, and on the other were three historical generals with strength values in the 80s. If it were a one-on-one fight, none of Han Zhong's group would have the confidence to face Gao Lan alone, but in a three-on-one situation, the outcome was uncertain.
The three of them truly didn't believe it, thinking that the three of them couldn't defeat Gao Lan alone.
In fact, they sadly guessed correctly; Yu Du and his two companions had a combined martial strength of only around 80, with the highest among them not exceeding 83. Such strength was considered decent for others, but for Gao Lan, it was just average.
As the three of them confidently rushed forward, within a few minutes, they found themselves in a fierce battle, as the two sides were fundamentally not on the same level.
Gao Lan's axe technique was astonishingly powerful, each swing of his axe was incredibly violent, as if it could split mountains and cleave the earth. But that wasn't all; this freak could also skillfully control his attacks, retracting his axe and changing its direction. This was utterly frustrating for Han Zhong and his two companions, who were beaten miserably.
Although Han Zhong and his companions were being suppressed badly, they still managed to hold on somehow. For a while, Gao Lan seemed unable to finish them off.
This made Gao Lan quite unhappy. He had come to show off in front of Lu HaiKong, but these three petty bandits were giving him a hard time. How could this be considered a display of strength?
Gao Lan then unleashed a series of three consecutive axe swings, each more powerful than the last. However, Yu Du and Han Zhong managed to dodge the first two, and only Zhao Hong failed to react in time, getting hit by the last axe swing on his weapon, causing him to be sent flying over ten meters and crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
With one enemy down, the situation became even more difficult for the remaining two.
Han Zhong and Yu Du continued to hold on for a while, but eventually, they couldn't endure it any longer. Yu Du's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he raised his long spear. The cavalry he had brought with him rushed over upon seeing this.
"Do you think calling a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers can save your lives? It's a joke!" Gao Lan sneered, tightening his grip on his large axe and launching even fiercer attacks.
In a 6-1-9-1-book-1-bar-1-look-0-wrong-version!
However, what Gao Lan didn't expect was that as Yu Du's cavalry approached within a hundred meters of him, Yu Du's fighting spirit suddenly surged as if he had consumed some kind of stimulant, causing his strength to increase by a whole level.
"Eh? A general trait?"
Upon seeing this, Lu HaiKong immediately cast an Appraisal Technique on Yu Du.

"United We Stand? This general trait is very interesting!"
Lu HaiKong's eyes lit up when he saw Yu Du's general trait. As more of Lu HaiKong's generals with martial strength above 80 appeared, he gained a deeper understanding of general traits. Yu Du's trait clearly had growth potential, and it was an excellent trait for boosting various aspects. If used well, the effect would be astonishing.
Therefore, when Lu HaiKong saw this general trait, it also sealed Yu Du's fate.
"Gao Lan, kill that scoundrel! I want his Soul Stone!"
