Chapter 264: Meet the Old Rival Again
The opponent cursed him unpleasantly, He Lingchuan just raised his middle finger at him, knowing that his success was also attributed to Mao Tao's arrow distracting the opponent. But when fighting in a group, what is the point of sneak attack or single duel? You have to go up if you can, and you can't miss any chance.
He didn't think that he won unfairly at all.
Shan Youjun, who followed behind, was blocked by He Lingchuan's view, and didn't see how the boss chopped the enemy, so he attributed it to the sharpness of the Fu Sheng knife.
Of course, he guessed 60%.
Only He Lingchuan himself knew that the "Po Jun" feature of the Fu Sheng knife was actually triggered!
It can ignore the opponent's Yuanli and magical protection, and directly deal the most real damage without being reduced, but the probability of occurrence is pitifully small.
Pierissively small means that He Lingchuan may not be able to achieve the Po Jun effect even if he uses the knife hundreds of times.
This time he was really lucky, and this feature was triggered with just one strike.
Lord Baili deserved his bad luck. The rich energy fluctuations on his body became a decoration. He Lingchuan knew that this person had a high military rank by looking at the faint light on his body.
The first show of the Fusheng Sword on the battlefield after being recast was to use the blood of an enemy general to sacrifice the sword!
He Lingchuan also doubted that this was a feature trial.
At this time, He Chunhua's military orders finally came in waves, and people were shouting everywhere: "Xunzhou soldiers only have a hundred cavalry!"
The number of grain transport teams is far more than this, so why are they afraid of them!
The generals of Xiazhou finally gathered their subordinates and began to fight back.
After all, the grain transport team has the advantage in numbers, while the Xunzhou army has already penetrated deep into the enemy camp, and the depth of the charge is insufficient. The first wave of the most powerful impact did not meet expectations, and they will soon suffer the consequences of decline and exhaustion.
At this time, you can see that the color of the energy on the Xiazhou army gradually turns darker, from light green to dark green.
This is also a manifestation of the continuous cohesion and rise of morale.
He Lingchuan's own guards had also gathered long ago, led by Shan Youjun and Jiao Tai, following the host and charging all the way. They followed He Lingchuan to eliminate demons early and late, and surpassed the Xiazhou army in ambushes and joint attacks, which could be used at this time.
Once the offensive and defensive situation changes, this Xunzhou surprise force may be counterattacked.
Both the enemy and us are very clear about this, so the general who lost his right arm had to command his men to attack He Chunhua with all his strength even if his shoulder was bleeding and his face was pale.
He had been helped off the horse, but he was still trying not to faint, and the guards were trying to stop his bleeding.
To capture the thief, first capture the king. Lord Baili was clear in his mind: today's surprise attack hit a wall, it should be blamed on the fact that the supreme commander of the grain transport team is still alive!
The Xunzhou people did not expect that the chief of the grain transport team would not go to the banquet. They did not cut off the snake's head when they killed the snake, but only chopped off a part of the tail tip.
He Chunhua himself did not expect that his idea of visiting incognito and understanding the people's sentiments would actually allow him to escape.
Otherwise, he would have died in the restaurant.
Both sides were attacking.
The other side wanted him dead, so how could He Chunhua not want the other side's life? He waved his hand and simply threw out a reward on the spot: "Kill the enemy general, and the reward is 100 taels!"
In order to deal with the war on the northern front, Xiazhou re-issued the recruitment order and greatly increased the soldiers' salaries. But a soldier with his head pinned on his belt can only earn 20 silver coins a year at most, which is an undisputed high-paying job in the local area. 100 taels of gold is equivalent to the income of these soldiers for 50 years!
There must be warriors under heavy rewards, not to mention that the decline of the own side has been reversed. In the eyes of the Xiazhou soldiers, the seriously injured enemy general suddenly turned into a shining gold bar.
He Lingchuan made a soft "hiss" sound, because the dark green light on the Xiazhou army suddenly turned into dark blue, and even slightly yellowed.
In comparison, Lord Baili, who was not as wealthy, seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, at this time, a monkey eating an apple appeared on the carriage behind the Xiazhou army.
This brown-skinned monkey wore a thorn collar on its neck and was fatter than its peers. It looked normal, but the rock wolf next to He Lingchuan seemed to smell something and suddenly turned its head and barked at it.
Lu Xin's abnormality immediately alerted He Lingchuan, and he looked over. In his opinion, monkeys in the world actually look almost the same. The one in front of him was definitely not as round and stupid as his Yaoyuan Lingguang, but the thorn collar on its neck was indeed familiar.
Where had he seen it before?
It was a bit far away. If I zoom in a bit more...
Hmm? Zoom in?
He Lingchuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and suddenly his tongue burst into spring thunder, and he shouted at He Chunhua: "Be careful of the ghost ape, it's behind!"
Before he finished speaking, the monkey swelled rapidly, from a horse monkey that was less than half a person's height, to a giant ape that was more than ten feet tall and had bulging muscles!
The horse cried out in grief, and its weight of more than two thousand pounds instantly crushed the carriage under it.
This guy is the old acquaintance of the He family father and son who have not seen each other for two months, no, an old acquaintance monkey, an enemy that even the lucky general Ke Jihai can hardly defeat, the number one thug under the demon puppet master Dong Rui - the ghost ape.
The last time He Lingchuan and Ke Jihai joined forces to injure it - of course, the so-called joint effort means that He Lingchuan used the walnut boat to suppress this monster - and then the demon puppet master took it away and disappeared, and no official search could find its whereabouts.
As soon as the ghost ape transformed, it grabbed the heavy objects around it, such as carriages, horses, bags, or simply pulled up the wooden fence and threw them at He Chunhua!
This is its innate magical skill. Each one is powerful and powerful, and each one is so accurate that it doesn't need to spend time practicing.
He Chunhua was protected by the stars, and there was light flashing around him. It was probably because someone had opened a magic circle to prevent him from being injured by stray arrows. The ghost ape was about seven feet (20 meters) away from him. Most of the things thrown over were parabolic, falling from a high point to accumulate potential energy, and there was a continuous bang when they landed, and even the ground a few feet away was shaking.
It also threw in several fully loaded grain carts, and the grain bags burst in the air, and the dust fluttered, like half a snowfall.
There were dozens of people gathered around He Chunhua, and none of them were spared. They were instantly pressed under a pile of debris. He Lingchuan glanced and saw someone was knocked down by the horse thrown over, with only the legs still twitching outside.
The scene was in chaos. The Xiazhou soldiers were terrified and subconsciously hid away. No one wanted to provoke the evil demon ape who loved to throw heavy objects. As a result, the formation collapsed. The Xunzhou army on the opposite side was overjoyed. Lord Baili regrouped and commanded his men to attack the grain transport team.
Opportunities are fleeting, who doesn't know?
He Lingchuan's scalp was numb, but now was not the time to panic. He told Yanlang, "Go find Dong Rui and tear him apart!" Then he rode his horse to He Chunhua's position.
At this time, a rain of arrows from the Xiazhou army shot at the ghost ape. Everyone dared not get close, but it was still no problem to make a few long-range attacks.
The ghost ape didn't care about it. It had natural bone armor all over its body. Ordinary arrows would naturally break when they pierced it. It only needed to focus on protecting its eyes.
What made the Xiazhou soldiers suspicious was that the arrows shot by everyone were attached with Yuanli, which had an additional armor-breaking bonus against the monster's defense. Why did it fail on this giant ape?
While everyone was intimidated by its might, the ghost ape didn't even do its signature chest-patting move. It jumped to the center of the field in two consecutive jumps, raised its fists high, and prepared to hit the pile of ruins violently.
No matter whether He Chunhua lived or died, it would finish him off first.
Just because it was full of tendons, no one would doubt the strength of its fists.
Even if the people under the ruins were not dead, they would be turned into meat patties after being hit a few times.
At this moment, a carriage in the ruins moved, suddenly flew up, and slammed into the face of the giant ape, instantly breaking into pieces, and wood chips flew.
Obviously, something underneath knocked the carriage away, and the giant ape was also stunned.
After the carriage was blown away, He Lingchuan looked closely and saw that there was actually a thin light curtain underneath, covering the people in the middle.
There were He Chunhua, two guards standing closest, and several disciples of Chuanyun Pavilion.
Oh, and Elder Liang of Chuanyun Pavilion!
He took advantage of the giant ape's closing of its eyes and actually jumped high, hitting the ghost ape's forehead with a palm!
Although there were some small gaps between the two sides, He Lingchuan couldn't help but cheer. Elder Liang's attack was really a stroke of genius, the key to turning defeat into victory!
But then his face fell, because the ghost ape shook its head, as if it had come to its senses, and roared at Elder Liang and He Chunhua, and also slapped it with a palm!
So Elder Liang just dusted off its face?
Why didn't he use a weapon?
Elder Liang also looked a little surprised, as if he underestimated the ghost ape's shamelessness, but He Lingchuan also found that the place where he slapped, that is, the center of the ghost ape's forehead, actually had a red word lit up.
Compared with the size of the giant ape, this word was too small.
Fortunately, with He Lingchuan's 52 vision that can shoot arrows and throw flying knives, he can finally see that this is the word "stagnation"!
And it was written in the language of ancient immortals, and the red light it emitted would flow like mercury.
After the word lit up, the ghost ape's movements slowed down by two beats, and the sharp palm that came down also looked like slow motion.
It roared continuously, and its muscles bulged more, but it still couldn't move faster.
The red word on its forehead suddenly emitted a stronger light, and it was obviously trying to restrain it.
He Lingchuan immediately remembered the Word Spirit Curse used by the "God" who possessed Nian Songyu in the Panlong Illusion.
The two have similarities, and both can use words to affect the enemy.
However, Elder Liang's Word Spirit Curse did not seem to cause much burden to himself. At least he was very neat in taking He Chunhua away from the giant ape's attack range in a hurry.
He Chunhua did not seem to be in any serious trouble. It was obvious that He Lingchuan's reminder just now was very timely, and Elder Liang opened the protective barrier for him. He straightened his hat that had been knocked askew, and shouted with a sullen face, "Why are you panicking? The others can go get the reward, Elder Liang, you guys can freeze the ghost ape and kill it!"
