Chapter 955: Zhang Han
September 25, 2017
The Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum copy space.
Although Lu Hai Kong had anticipated the challenge of this copy from the start, he never imagined that it would take him over ten days to barely fight his way from the foot of the mountain to the summit.
However, despite the extra time it took, he had finally fought his way up from the bottom.
Lu Hai Kong knew that as long as they broke through the last barrier blocking their path, the massive ground palace of the Emperor's Mausoleum would open before them.
Although this didn't mean Lu Hai Kong would immediately obtain the Immortal Elixir, the prospect of breaking through a major obstacle that had resisted their attacks for over ten days was thrilling for him.
The final challenge on their ascent was a small section of wall.
This wall was only a few hundred meters long and a mere ten meters high, making it one of the smallest in scale among the formidable passes Lu Hai Kong had conquered. Yet, in terms of difficulty, it ranked among the top three.
Built atop a mountain path, the wall had a steep incline with no room for more than a few dozen people to advance at once, not even a platform to stand on.
But the most daunting aspect was not the wall itself but the presence of elite Terracotta Warriors and a plethora of defensive equipment atop it.
Under normal circumstances, taking this wall would be nearly impossible given the terrain and level of defense.
Fortunately, Lu Hai Kong and his group had never intended to rely on conventional methods.
If the Iron-Blooded Soldiers couldn't breach it, they would do it themselves. After all, the wall wasn't that large, and with Lu Hai Kong, Princess San, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei joining forces, it should be manageable. Their combined martial strength exceeded 95, and if they couldn't take down a wall only a few hundred meters long, they might as well give up.
With this determination, Lu Hai Kong, accompanied by Princess San, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei, prepared to take action.
"Wait, something's not right!"
Before Lu Hai Kong could act, he halted, sensing an unusual aura that he couldn't pinpoint. As he furrowed his brows in concentration, Princess San tugged at his sleeve.
"Look there!"
Following her gaze, Lu Hai Kong noticed a slightly different Terracotta Warrior on the small wall, though he couldn't pinpoint when it had appeared.
Unlike the standard Terracotta Warriors, this one, though also grayish-white, wore exquisite armor and had a sword hanging at its waist, clearly marking it as a boss.
"A boss? That's right, it's about time for a boss to show up. After all, we've been fighting for so long."
As Lu Hai Kong spoke, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and the Heaven's Eye Technique activated, scanning the boss and revealing its attributes.
Zhang Han (Replica Terracotta Warrior)
Type: Human-like Terracotta Warrior
Description: A master-level stone sculpture artist created this Terracotta Warrior based on the top-tier historical general Zhang Han. Although some attributes are slightly inferior to Zhang Han himself, it remains an extremely powerful entity.
Attributes:
Martial Strength: 90, Politics: 75, Strategy: 75, Leadership: 90
General Traits: None
Leadership Traits: Overwhelming Dominance
Overwhelming Dominance (Unique): ???
"Zhang Han's Terracotta Warrior? Now this is getting interesting!" Lu Hai Kong's eyes lit up with excitement. "Attack immediately! This guy might unleash a powerful move, so don't give him the chance!"
Without hesitation, Lu Hai Kong led Princess San, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei in a direct assault on the wall.
On the wall, the replica Zhang Han Terracotta Warrior seemed to possess a unique awareness. As it observed Lu Hai Kong's group charging towards it, its eyes gleamed with a peculiar light, conveying both disdain and gravity.
Simultaneously, the evil Zhang Han Terracotta Warrior sprang into action.
Confronted by the four ferocious and ruthless attackers, Zhang Han did not retreat but instead stepped forward, arms outstretched.
"The resting place of the Qin Emperor shall not tolerate your recklessness!"
A clash of iron and stone rang out, a sound both sharp and strangely heavy. A special force emanated from Zhang Han's Terracotta Warrior, spreading across its body.
It was evident that the boss before them had unleashed a powerful move.
"A grand suppression? I'm curious to see the effect of this unique-level commander skill."
Lu Hai Kong's expression was still relaxed when he spoke, but soon, his casual demeanor vanished.
As the mysterious power emanating from Zhang Han spread, Lu Hai Kong was shocked to sense a formidable aura emerging.
Lu Hai Kong distinctly felt that at this moment, the Terracotta Warriors in the First Emperor's Mausoleum seemed to merge into a force, transforming into an entity distinct from individual auras. If one had to describe it in words, it would be more fitting to call it a military formation or a military soul.
As this aura emerged, Lu Hai Kong keenly felt a sense of suppression.
Although the current suppression wasn't overwhelming, it was clear that the force was gradually intensifying.
"Although I don't understand the specific effect of his commander trait, it seems to enhance their power by gathering the Terracotta Warriors behind them. His trait has just been activated, and it hasn't reached its peak yet. We must interrupt him now!"
The experienced Lu Hai Kong quickly analyzed the situation and then, with his eyes fixed on Zhang Han atop the city wall, he set aside his battle axe and took up a bow and arrow, firing an arrow at Zhang Han.
No matter how powerful the commander trait was, if he died, it would all be over. This was Lu Hai Kong's strategy, as simple and brutal as ever.
Lu Hai Kong's arrow flew as fast as lightning, landing on Zhang Han in an instant.
However, before Lu Hai Kong's arrow could hit its target, a transparent shield appeared on Zhang Han's body, effortlessly blocking the arrow.
As Lu Hai Kong's arrow was intercepted, a faint, human-like cold smile seemed to appear on the face of the Terracotta Warrior.
Lu Hai Kong wasn't surprised that his attack had failed. "I was wondering why he was just standing there on the city wall. Seems like he has a shield when he uses his ultimate move."
Despite the increasingly oppressive force on his body, Lu Hai Kong's face showed no further concern. "When my arrow flew towards him and after it hit, he didn't move at all. Does that mean he can't move when he uses his ultimate move?"
Looking at Zhang Han before him, Lu Hai Kong burst into laughter. He acknowledged that Zhang Han's commander skill was powerful, perhaps even extremely powerful, but Zhang Han had made a fatal mistake from the start by standing on the city wall.
"Since he can't move, let's see if his defense is stronger or our attacks are! I'll give the order, and everyone will attack with full force!"
At Lu Hai Kong's command, the four of them prepared for action.
Huang Zhong nocked an arrow on his bow, Dian Wei held his double halberds, Princess San's Crimson Heaven Sword glowed with light, and Lu Hai Kong raised his primitive axe.
"One, two, three!"
As Lu Hai Kong counted, Huang Zhong's arrow, Dian Wei's double halberds, and Princess San's Crimson Heaven Sword all struck Zhang Han simultaneously.
Lu Hai Kong's attack was slightly delayed. After their attacks landed, he swung his primitive axe.
Almost simultaneously, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Princess San's attacks hit Zhang Han, and a transparent shield rose on his body. With a 'crack,' the shield shattered, and at that moment, Lu Hai Kong's primitive axe flew towards Zhang Han, smashing the Terracotta Warrior to pieces.
With Zhang Han's death, his commander trait instantly dissipated.
Lu Hai Kong and the others quickly took action, rushing up the city wall.
The four of them, each with a combat power of over 90, unleashed their attacks, and within a few minutes, they had eliminated all the Terracotta Warriors on the city wall.
After Lu Hai Kong and his team had dealt with the city wall's defenses, Pan Feng led his legion to charge forward and capture the wall.
After entering this dungeon and spending over ten days, Lu Hai Kong finally conquered the mountain...
