Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1366: Chapter 1318: Doubts

”Hmm...” After taking another strike, Taishi Ci noticed that the opponent seemed slightly weaker. At this moment, his soldiers had killed three more enemies, and Taishi Ci clearly felt the opponent’s strength decline. Without hesitating, he instantly killed several more soldiers!

Then, amidst the panicked eyes of the enemy, he swung his Sky Piercer halberd again towards the enemy leader. Having lost several dozen comrades, the opponent failed to block the attack as before.

”Crack!” Originally reinforced with Inner Qi and properly nurtured, the long knife shattered under Taishi Ci’s fierce strike, and the subsequent second strike successfully killed the opponent.

However, at the moment of the opponent’s death, Taishi Ci couldn’t help but smile wryly. He disliked using his Legion Talent for this reason; the secondary attack it carried was hard to control. It wouldn’t hurt him, but when trying to capture prisoners, this could be problematic.

With one strike, Taishi Ci killed the opponent’s leader. Instantly, the guards who had been holding ground against Taishi Ci’s troops were struck as if by lightning, and their strength plummeted. If they were considered elite soldiers before, now they had suddenly dropped to the level of miscellaneous soldiers.

The disparity in strength between both sides became evident. The others who boarded the ship with Taishi Ci swiftly slaughtered the enemy guards, who had been neck and neck with them or even had an advantage earlier.

”What’s going on?” Taishi Ci was perplexed. The guards who had been outstanding before suddenly seemed to have declined to trash level.

But this wasn’t the time to ponder such things. Taishi Ci saw the emergence of similar guards on another ship, displaying the same astonishing combat skills. Within a few breaths and without Taishi Ci’s leadership, they started suppressing Liu Bei’s marines.

Immediately, Taishi Ci led his escort to leap onto the nearby ship. With experience from the first encounter, he swiftly pounced and instantly killed a dozen guards.

Then he crashed into the enemy leader head-on. Sure enough, the opponent’s strength and speed had significantly decreased. After a few clashes, amid the wailing of the guard leader on that ship, Taishi Ci dispatched the opponent.

”Boom! Crack crack...” After Taishi Ci had slain two enemy guard leaders, Gan Ning’s flagship collided into the enemy’s flagship at unimaginable speed.

The intense vibration even made Gan Ning at the bow unsteady, but the effect was excellent. The high-speed charge sent the front half of his flagship soaring, leaving the enemy no chance to dodge.

The sinister ram fiercely pierced through the enemy flagship’s side wall, allowing massive amounts of seawater to flood in. Gan Ning’s own vessel, which performed the same attack, had its bow almost completely destroyed.

However, unlike the enemy flagship, Gan Ning’s flagship did not flood thanks to the sealed cabin suggested by Chen Xi. In contrast, the enemy’s lack of such design caused seawater to rush in wildly, making the flagship start to tilt.

”Come on, let’s finish them off!” Gan Ning stood at the nearly destroyed bow. At this point, the two flagships were entangled, and Gan Ning jumped directly onto the enemy’s flagship. Of course, many enemy sailors also tried to board his ship!

”Heavy Crossbow, Tung Oil Deck Cleaning!” After Gan Ning leaped onto the other battleship, Gan Mo immediately issued the second command in place of Gan Ning. Unlike Gan Ning’s voice transmission method, Gan Mo used flag signals and bugle calls to relay his orders.

”All sailors, prepare bows and crossbows, fire arrows!” After glancing at the opposing battleship that was approaching, Gan Mo issued the second command, and both sides shot arrows like a rain at each other.

Gan Ning jumped onto the enemy flagship. Before his trusted aides could follow, the enemy captain, accompanied by his escort, charged at Gan Ning.

”Ding!” At just the first exchange, Gan Ning’s expression turned very grave.

”Inner Qi Manifestation, is it?” Gan Ning licked his lips, hesitating no more, and compressed his Legion Talent to an extremely small range, almost solely restoring his own strength.

After a wide swing, the Horizontal River Iron Chain coiled around him. Gan Ning grabbed the Great Sword on his back and charged directly at the enemy captain, unleashing nearly his peak moves with abandon.

[My Legion Talent, it can trigger the Heaven and Earth Essence to restore the power of all my troops with my untapped Inner Qi. But what if it’s applied to myself? Haha, I, Gan Ning, possess infinite Inner Qi!]

Even though the enemy captain’s Inner Qi was robust and his strength and speed superior, he was suppressed by Gan Ning’s berserk moves without any ability to counter.

After all, Gan Ning was also one of the top experts of his time. With nearly infinite Inner Qi as support, he could unleash his most ferocious attacks. Except for a handful of true top masters, no one else could withstand it.

”Hahaha, is that all you’ve got?” Gan Ning laughed wildly, flipping over and swinging the Great Sword in a circle with absolute force, mercilessly slashing at the enemy captain.

The opponent struggled to lift his sword to block the swift strike, but failed to notice the Horizontal River Iron Chain twisting towards him.

”Pshu!” The sound of piercing. Gan Ning flipped down and sneered at the opponent. The powerful impact carried by the Horizontal River Iron Chain as it ran through the enemy’s body crushed nearly half of his internal organs, though there was some chance of recovery with Inner Qi Manifestation.

”Swoosh!” The Great Sword slashed horizontally, beheading him. Gan Ning had no faith that he could extract the information he wanted from this unknown-speaking guy.

After eliminating the captain, Gan Ning’s Horizontal River Iron Chain jerked violently. With assistance from his trusted aides, he quickly captured all the guards within a few breaths.

”A bit odd.” Standing on the flagship that had tilted several degrees, Gan Ning looked strangely at the captured guards. Their strength seemed to have suddenly dropped a level, considering they previously posed a threat to Gan Ning in battle.

”Whew...” After capturing the guards, Gan Ning slowly released his Legion Talent, and a sudden surge of mental fatigue overwhelmed him.

[Almost as I estimated, even if the Legion Talent is bestowed only upon myself, it’s impossible to achieve infinite Inner Qi and infinite stamina. It turns out it still consumes my spiritual power. In essence, this is merely a form of transformation, but it’s quite impressive.] thought Gan Ning silently.
