"General, how long can you hold on?" Duan Wei asked with a frown via voice transmission.
"Two incense sticks' time." Li Jue parried an attack and then withdrew, expressionless as he stared at Fuward, "Any longer and it won't be possible."
"Help cover me, I'll try to cooperate with the Military Spirit Legion to kill the Inner Qi Manifestation opposite me," Duan Wei thought for a moment and said to Li Jue via voice transmission. These two guys are tough and hard to deal with, but in this situation without banners, taking down an Inner Qi Manifestation should be enough to make the opponent collapse.
"Fine!" Li Jue took a deep breath. He had no doubt about the Military Spirit Legion's ability to kill Inner Qi Manifestation. If there weren't those massive armies outside, and he could draw all his trusted aides here, he could also cut down the opponent.
An Inner Qi Manifestation is indeed formidable, but when truly facing an elite legion with Cloud Qi and talent blessings, the military general of an Inner Qi Manifestation is also vulnerable. And since Li Jue acquired the Legion Talent, his reverence for personal strength has diminished significantly.
The Legion Talent is undoubtedly the top power for generals, and as for personal bravery, it only matters on the battlefield when you are qualified to break the enemy's army.
Duan Wei immediately led the Military Spirit Legion to retreat, bursting out with limited Military Spirit power to clear a large area, then regrouped to prepare to eliminate Zasali in one move.
"Die for me!" At this moment, Zasali no longer hid anything, his words turning into spiritual waves, transformed into everyone's language by his Heart Connection pearl.
"Just you!" Fan Chou swung a great broadsword with several notches, shielded by his trusted aides, took a stab, and slashed at his opponent's armor with his great sword, leaving only a scratch.
"You're the first mortal to wound me!" Zasali looked coldly at Fan Chou at the deepest part of the blade mark on his armor, where a trickle of blood oozed out.
"Mortal? Hahaha, just an Inner Qi Manifestation, do you think you're called Lyu Bu!" Fan Chou sneered, "Even if you were Lyu Bu, I would still beat you till you retreated in defeat!"
Zasali didn't understand who this Lyu Bu was that Fan Chou mentioned, but from his arrogant tone, he could tell that the other side had no fear of him, a strong adversary!
"If it weren't for my Inner Qi being suppressed, and you having a multitude of trusted aides fighting desperately, you would have long since been slaughtered by me!" Zasali stared coldly at Fan Chou, as if looking at a dead man.
"I didn't bring enough people today; if I had, you'd have no right to speak now!" Fan Chou countered sharply, "Don't think your strength can shake me. Under Cloud Qi, even Lyu Bu can be crushed by an army, let alone trash like you!"
"Stop wasting words with that guy, I'm about to get killed!" Li Jue shouted angrily. He had never dueled an Inner Qi Manifestation, not even under Cloud Qi circumstances, a crazy thing not done till today, and it seems like he really can't kill the other side!
"Hang in there, their Inner Qi is suppressed. I once exchanged three moves with Lyu Bu, in normal circumstances, Lyu Bu would have killed such an opponent in three moves, rest assured, you can definitely withstand this!" Fan Chou said without turning his head.
No one knows if he once blocked Lyu Bu and did combat under Cloud Qi and returned alive.
Anyhow, Fan Chou felt no pressure dueling an Inner Qi Manifestation under Cloud Qi, at least Zasali was helpless against Fan Chou with the support of Fan Chou's trusted aides. As he put it, "I've fought Lyu Bu, so why fear you!"
Zasali was wildly unleashing his power, unfortunately, both armies were super elite, and the combined effect of Cloud Qi and inherent Military Formation completely suppressed the Inner Qi, leaving him unable to unleash the expected combat power, repeatedly blocked by Fan Chou's personal soldiers.
Although Fuward was stronger, Li Jue was seasoned in battles; unable to match in a duel, he ruthlessly attacked, determinedly taking down more than half of the camel riders around Fuward. Now, the battlefield around Fuward and Li Jue consisted of eighty percent Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the remaining twenty percent camel riders.
Under such circumstances, without unleashing Inner Qi, it's absolutely impossible for Fuward to kill Li Jue. However, it's clear this situation can't last. The camel riders' personal soldiers are also desperately pushing back, and Li Jue does not possess Fan Chou's kind of overconfident mindset!
"Old Fan, move aside!" Duan Wei shouted angrily as he killed a wave of camel riders, stacking the momentum to the extreme, then turned his horse toward Fan Chou, changing his weapon from a long spear to a great broadsword. Duan Wei had no confidence in killing the opponent with a spear.
Upon hearing this shout, Fan Chou immediately moved left and right, taking a hit in the process, but fortunately not fatal. The six hundred Military Spirit Iron Cavalry behind Duan Wei naturally split into three groups, two drove back the escorts led by Zasali, and the remaining group under Duan Wei's command directly slashed toward Zasali.
"Go to hell!" The leading Military Spirit Soldier roared, slashing towards Zasali. Though momentarily shocked by his escort being pushed back, Zasali still calmly extended his long spear to block, as the power of Inner Qi Manifestation was not just for show.
A single slash landed on the spearhead, even with many blessings, there was still a significant gap to Bridge Inner Qi Manifestation, failing to break the defense. But then more Military Spirit Soldiers swarmed in, nearly identical in posture, slashing at the same spot.
Zasali's escort tried desperately to rescue but were firmly blocked by other Military Spirit Soldiers. The relentless barrage made Zasali barely able to cope, unable to respond effectively.
"Go to hell!" Duan Wei roared, stepping into the stirrups, standing up, gripping his sword with both hands, unleashing all his strength onto the opponent's spear. In the next moment, the spear was sliced in two, and though the opponent fought hard to resist, it was futile.
However, the opponent's significantly superior physical quality was revealed at this moment, dodging sideways at the critical moment to avoid the fatal blow. Unfortunately, while the body dodged, the lower half of the right arm could not escape the cut.
Zasali, a veteran of countless battles, realized in that instant, grasping the broken spear with his left hand, desperately swinging towards his right arm, seemingly prepared for mutual destruction with Duan Wei.
Seeing the spearhead swing toward him, Duan Wei showed no sign of relenting his strength, slashing down forcefully. With a light sound, followed by two cries, Zasali's right arm flew off directly.
"Old Fan, it's up to you now, I've chopped one of this guy's arms off!" Duan Wei shouted in pain while retreating, and Zasali also retreated with a miserable howl.
