Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1860: Chapter 1710: Ma Chao’s Fierce Battle

However, at this moment, it didn’t matter anymore. Without those few hundred Northern Huns Guards who had mastered Qi Refining to Gang, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had nothing to fear. Although they were being suppressed by the enemy and suffered heavily, even half of them were quickly taken down, the Northern Huns Guards were finished.

Gao Shun’s strength was on par with the Chouhun bolstered by two Inner Qi Manifestation Generals, but when Hua Xiong let out a furious roar, Gao Shun immediately prepared himself. Seeing that Hua Xiong had sacrificed half of his soldiers to take down almost all of the opponent’s Qi Refining to Gang, Gao Shun no longer held back and unleashed the full power of his Military Spirit.

In the next instant, the Eight Hundred Heavy Infantry directly unleashed over seven hundred Qi Refining to Gang Peak and more than twenty Inner Qi Manifestations, crushing towards the Northern Huns Guards like a mighty dragon crossing the river. In just two charges, the Northern Huns Guards lost nearly two thousand men.

In doing so, the Trap Formation was nearly exhausted, and they immediately stabilized the formation, surrounding the remaining few hundred Northern Huns Guards with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, fearing even one might escape.

”Form a defensive group, don’t let a single one escape!” Hua Xiong commanded the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, while Guan Yu’s unit, which had retreated earlier, also charged forward to intercept the Hunnic Elites trying to rescue the Northern Huns Guards, quickly blocking them.

On the other side, Qui Fu, who was fighting with Ma Chao, upon seeing this scene, immediately left Ma Chao to go rescue the Huns Army Soul Legion, and Qiu Linbei, who was also fighting desperately with Cai Yang and Wei Yan, turned around as soon as he saw this.

As for the Lan Clan, upon seeing the core situation of the battle between the Han Army and the Northern Huns, they hesitated, but their distance was too far, and Le Jin’s main force was suppressing them too evidently, so the Lan Clan abandoned the idea of rescuing and focused on dealing with Le Jin, hoping to quickly break through from Le Jin’s side.

Le Jin’s situation was not much better. His Legion Talent leaned towards Idealism, allowing him to forcibly ignore the Lan Clan’s Legion Talent. However, Le Jin himself wasn’t very strong, and all Idealism abilities required sufficient determination.

As powerful as Huo Qubing, who relied on absolute will to crush the Hunnic Empire’s Will, and Guan Yu, who also relied on absolute confidence to withstand the impact of the Northern Huns Guards.

If his confidence were three times stronger, Guan Yu could even fight back and forth with the Northern Huns Guards. If he could wholly believe in himself, Guan Yu’s Legion Talent should be renamed as the not-yet-independent Idealism Military Spirit, but this was just a thought. One could say Guan Yu has the potential to achieve an absolute Idealism Military Spirit.

Similarly, Le Jin’s Legion Talent also has this potential, but Le Jin’s determination is far behind Guan Yu’s, which leads to Le Jin’s ignoring of the Lan Clan’s Legion ability being sporadic. Fortunately, even so, it was enough to prevent the Lan Clan from fully utilizing their abilities.

”Qui Fu, stop!” Ma Chao roared, chasing after Qui Fu.

Qui Fu was originally assigned to Zhao Yun to solve. However, later on, Cheng Yu used his Spiritual Capacity to solidify the adaptability of the soldiers, and with the simulation by Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan, Zhou Yu then left Zhao Yun as a mobile force, as the White Horse was always reliable in speed.

Since Zhao Yun was retained as a mobile force, naturally, a large group of people focused on Qui Fu, and when Qui Fu used the Dark Seal talent, no one wanted to provoke his legion. Without that legion’s effect, none of the Han’s generals would flinch.

Thus, Zhao Yun was tasked as a mobile force, and a large group of people came forward, asking to take down Qui Fu. As the first designated personnel, Zhao Yun favored his brother-in-law, pointing Ma Chao to replace him.

This is why Zhao Yun trained Ma Chao continuously during this period. Although Qui Fu’s strength was similar to Ma Chao’s as an Inner Qi Manifestation Perfection of Qi Cultivation, Qui Fu had more experience, supported by secret techniques, making him stronger than Ma Chao.

Even though Ma Chao had excellent natural bones and talents, guided by Lyu Bu and Zhao Yun, the time was too short. Except for his strength, he had no life-saving ultimate knowledge, no time to learn any forbidden moves, nor was there anyone to teach him.

Frankly, if both guys were ordinary, Ma Chao would surely be killed by the opponent. But Ma Chao was a typical character who exceeded expectations and grew braver with each battle. Zhao Yun believed Ma Chao was still trustworthy, so after rigorous training, he sent Ma Chao to deal with Qui Fu.

The situation worked out as Zhao Yun expected; although Qui Fu was evidently stronger than Ma Chao, when Ma Chao and Lifeisha went all out, while Qui Fu had the upper hand, turning this into an outright victory was overreaching.

The two fiercely battled in Qui Fu’s legion talent, and by the end, Qui Fu even resorted to a Forbidden Technique, but the battle-crazed Ma Chao withstood Qui Fu’s secret technique.

”Get lost!” Qui Fu angrily swept his spear towards Ma Chao, who lunged at him.

At this moment, Ma Chao, already in a berserk state, saw all movements slowed to a third of normal speed. The Legion Talent’s boost to super reaction force, with numerous talents stacking on it, had reached a peak, making the world appear in slow-motion.

Ma Chao counter-swept with his spear, demonstrating aggressive dominance, his youthful arrogance fearing no confrontation with Qui Fu.

”Today, I must kill you!” Ma Chao counter-swept with his spear as Lifeisha accelerated fiercely, charging right at Qui Fu, Ma Chao’s long spear thrusting with unrivaled momentum at Qui Fu.

Qui Fu’s eyes coldly glanced at the central battlefield’s chaos, noticing the Han Army’s previously fierce momentum had diminished, immediately turning his head for a spear strike, the spearhead directly deflecting Ma Chao’s weapon.

”You want to die? I’ll kill you right here!” Qui Fu, never having been pushed by such a young general, decided to kill Ma Chao right there after realizing he couldn’t shake him off.

”Kill me?” Ma Chao sneered, ”Don’t think about running either. Under me is Lifeisha, a Divine Steed just like you, competent in Clairvoyance and Inner Qi Separation. Today, I will kill you!”

With a roar, Ma Chao spurred Lifeisha, who turned into a fleeting shadow darting at Qui Fu. Qui Fu’s face twisted ferociously as black-red Inner Qi erupted, blue veins popping on his forehead.

”Clang!” A resounding crash echoed as Ma Chao’s spear tip struck Qui Fu’s spearhead, and as Qui Fu’s spear wavered, Ma Chao flicked his spear, creating seven large spear flowers right before him.

”Your spear skill is still far off!” Ma Chao mocked as he flicked his spear shaft, the tip tapping Qui Fu’s spear, the immense force nearly dislodging it from Qui Fu’s grip.

[His spear technique is far inferior to my brother-in-law’s. Even without activating Legion Talent, I can counter it based on instinct.] With a flawlessly executed Heavy Sword Art crashing onto Qui Fu’s spear, Ma Chao sneered at the thought.
