Chapter 506: Protection from Ancestral Spirits!

While Shangguan Lie was having an in-depth conversation with the Taoist priest, the situation on the battlefield had reached a fever pitch.

Boom boom boom!
The Bagua Fu Long Formation, the binding formation that originally held everyone's hopes, quickly collapsed and disintegrated like fragile glass amid a few deafening roars.

However, this does not mean the end of the battle, but rather the prelude to another climax.

At this time, the duel between Lu Guyun and Xiahou Qing was coming to an end.

Xiahou Qing, the once mighty god of war of the Great Yong Dynasty, now looked quite embarrassed under Lu Guyun's fierce attack.

Each of his counterattacks was resolved by Lu Guyun with even more fierce attacks, as if he was trapped in an invisible net, unable to struggle.

Finally, at this moment of life and death, Lu Guyun caught a hint of hesitation in Xiahou Qing's movements, which was the fighter's most fatal flaw.

A cold light flashed in his eyes and the spear in his hand shook violently. White energy surged out like a raging wave and condensed at the tip of the spear, forming a dazzling beam of light.

"Ding! The third effect of Lu Guyun's skill Guyun is activated again, force +2, reducing Xiahou Qing's force by 1 point.

When the second effect of the skill Wanren is activated, if Lu Guyun finds the enemy's flaw, he can launch a critical strike and instantly increase his own military strength by 5 points.

Lu Guyun’s current force value has risen to 138!

Xiahou Qing's current strength has dropped to 131!"

This shot not only contained Lu Guyun's profound internal strength, but also his belief in victory. It cut through the sky and went straight to Xiahou Qing's heart!
"break!"

With a roar that shook the earth, the spear soared into the sky like a dragon, unstoppable.

Although Xiahou Qing tried his best to dodge, he was ultimately unable to escape the fate of this shocking blow.

The pure white energy directly pierced through his protective Qi, leaving a shocking wound on his chest. Blood gushed out, staining his battle robe red.

However, just when victory seemed within reach, the plot took an unexpected turn.

"Ding! At this moment, Xiahou Qing is seriously injured, and the skill Corpse Ancestor's Effect 4 - Ancestral Spirit Protection is activated. When Xiahou Qing is seriously injured or fatally injured, he can be temporarily immune to this injury and instantly recover the originally suppressed force value. At the same time, the effect of the Corpse Ancestor's Power skill is doubled, and his own force value is increased by an additional points.

Xiahou Qing’s current military strength has been restored to 134, and his own military strength has been increased by an additional 2 points.

Xiahou Qing's current strength has risen to 136!"

Xiahou Qing, who was seriously injured, did not fall down. Instead, he became more ferocious than a wounded beast.

A low and wild roar emanated from his mouth, and the yellow-black energy raged like a violent storm, more violent and ferocious than before.

This power seemed to be the last burning of his life, a desperate counterattack in the last moments of his life.

"Today, even if I, Xiahou Qing, die in battle, I will let the world know the bravery of my Xiahou clan!"

There was a tone of indomitable spirit and heroism in Xiahou Qing's voice. He looked towards Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan not far away, with a determined light in his eyes.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan in the rear had a complex emotion in their eyes when they heard this, including worry for their brother and enthusiasm for the battle.

"Brother Qing, we in the Xiahou family have never feared life or death! Today, let the world witness my brothers fighting side by side!"

After saying that, he directly swung the big knife in his hand, and the yellow and black energy echoed with it, forming a force that could not be underestimated, approaching Lu Guyun.

The battlefield at this moment was already in chaos.

Xiahou Yuan was drawing his bow and shooting arrows in the back. Xiahou Dun could not intervene in the battles on the two top battlefields, so he could only wander around, trying to rescue Xiahou Qing.

Although they were in a desperate situation, they showed amazing tacit understanding. They supported each other, and under the effect of Xiahou Qing's Huangquan skill effect 4, they were able to find a chance to breathe even under Lu Guyun's fierce attack.

On the other side, Bian Shenglin's figure was getting closer and closer. His pressure as a top god of war made every inch of land on the battlefield tremble.

"Humph, you think you can trap me, Bian Shenglin, with just the Eight Trigrams Subduing Dragon Formation?"

There was anxiety in his voice, and every step he took seemed to be stepping on the pulse of heaven and earth, causing waves of vibrations.

Faced with such a situation, Lu Guyun couldn't help feeling helpless.

He could see that Xiahou Qing's last burst of energy would not last long. As long as he was careful and consumed his energy for a while, he could easily take Xiahou Qing's life.

However, the addition of Bian Shenglin in the rear made the outcome of the battle clearer.

With him around, it would be impossible for me to kill Xiahou Qing by force.

"Alas, there are too many variables in today's battle."

Lu Guyun sighed inwardly, his eyes moving back and forth between Xiahou Qing and Bian Shenglin, trying to find a glimmer of opportunity.

As for the two Xiahou brothers who had been harassing him, he simply ignored them.

If they really come into a head-on confrontation, even two people tied together wouldn't be able to withstand a few of his shots.

However, the reality is cruel. In his last moments, Xiahou Qing showed such amazing fighting power.

The perfect coordination between him and the two Xiahou clan members made it difficult for him to break through for a while.

"Well, I will let you go today, but remember, we will meet again on the battlefield."

Lu Guyun finally made a decision. He did not pursue the enemy forcefully, but chose to retreat temporarily.

A true war is never determined by the outcome of a single battle, but by long-term planning and strategy.

This time, Xiahou Qing was severely injured and forced to use this secret technique which seemed to be quite costly.

I think I won't be able to go to the battlefield for a long time.

This means that in the subsequent confrontation, the only one on the opposing Dayong army who can stop him is Bian Shenglin, which will undoubtedly make things much easier.

Overall, it wasn’t a loss this time.

Therefore, in this thrilling duel, Lu Guyun finally chose a more conservative style of play.

The three brothers Xiahou Qing and Xiahou Dun were allowed to fight and retreat under the cover of Bian Shenglin, and slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

At this time, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer in the southern border of the Dayong Dynasty, the sky was clear, the air was fresh, and the breeze was gentle.

In the Jiangdong area of ​​the Dayong Dynasty, the Quewang City, which belongs to Quewang, one of the current kings of Dayong, stands majestically. Its city walls are high, like a giant dragon, guarding this fertile land.

However, this tranquility did not last long. A team of iron cavalry came roaring from Jiangdong, with a force as powerful as thunder, shaking the earth slightly. This was the Jiangdong Chu Army that had gradually become famous in the Great Yong Dynasty in recent times - the "Bawang Cavalry"!

The Overlord Cavalry are elite troops led by Xiang Yu, the traitor of Jiangdong in the Great Yong Dynasty. Each rider wears heavy black iron armor engraved with intricate cloud and dragon patterns, which sparkle in the sun like a black dragon leaping.

Its helmet is shaped like an angry lion, with a bright red tassel on the forehead that flutters in the wind, making it look even more ferocious.

Their mounts are all carefully selected war horses with strong muscles and hooves as fast as the wind. Around the neck of each horse is a "broken cloud bell". The bells ring crisply as the horse moves, interweaving with the sound of the horses' hooves to form a war song, foreshadowing conquest and indomitable spirit.
