Chapter 2718 The Divine Howler Battles the Great Protector, Cunxiao's Divine Valor Breaks Through Ten Thousand Armies
"Fine, let them live a little longer!"
As he spoke, Jiang Hou remounted his warhorse and faced the approaching black figure head-on. The blood-red aura on the Heavenly Fiend Blade burst forth, and dark red aura surged out like a tide, enveloping his entire body.
He sat upright on his horse, his sword held horizontally in front of him, his body surging with bloodlust, like a demon god emerging from a battlefield of carnage.
"Li Cunxiao, today, I will let you experience the power of the Jiang family's Divine Howling Sky Technique right here!"
With a loud shout, Jiang Hou spurred his horse's flanks, and the warhorse neighed as it charged towards Li Cunxiao.
Even when facing the pinnacle of martial arts, Jiang Hou still had the courage and determination to fight.
"Ding! Jiang Hou Shenhou's skill effect five is activated. When on the battlefield, it can continuously absorb battlefield blood energy, greatly accelerating its own blood energy recovery speed and greatly increasing its blood energy intensity."
This skill has no time or intensity limitations; its effect is limited only by the user's physical tolerance. However, if one continuously absorbs battlefield blood essence at an excessively high rate for an extended period, there is a chance that the blood essence will erode the user's body, thus affecting their lifespan.
As he charged forward, Jiang Hou completely released the restrictions on his absorption of battlefield blood energy in order to maximize his combat power.
Under normal circumstances, even if Jiang Hou knew that this method would make him stronger, he would still try his best to restrain himself.
After all, such unbridled absorption of the blood essence on the battlefield would eventually affect one's rationality, and if it reached a certain point, it might even directly impact one's lifespan.
In the history of the Great Qian Dynasty, anyone who cultivated the complete Divine Howling Heaven Technique was not destined for a long life. If this technique further shortened their lifespan, they would truly die young.
However, facing Li Cunxiao, who had already reached the pinnacle of martial arts, Jiang Hou had no choice but to rely on this method to truly gain the ability to fight him.
"Good timing!"
With a roar, Li Cunxiao charged forward on his horse, his Yuwang Spear sweeping across the air with the force to split mountains and shatter rocks. The air shrieked as the spear passed by.
Just as the two horses were about to pass each other, their divine weapons clashed heavily.
"Ding! Li Cunxiao's Fiend God skill effect three activated. The fiend aura soars to the sky. In a one-on-one duel, it reduces the opponent's martial power by 1 to 6 points. Moreover, this skill effect can exert a strong pressure effect on those whose base martial power is lower than his own. If there is an external force amplification effect, even if they have an immune negative skill effect, it can forcibly produce suppression, but it cannot exceed the maximum value of the external force amplification."
Currently, Jiang Hou's martial prowess is suppressed by 3 points, and Jiang Hou's martial prowess has decreased to...
"Ding, because Jiang Houxian only has two points of external force amplification, Li Cunxiao's Evil God skill effect two can only produce a maximum of two points of martial force suppression. Jiang Houxian's martial force has now dropped to 139."
"Ding! Li Cunxiao's Heavenly Martial God skill effect two activated: Heavenly Martial Might. This seals all realm skills except for Heavenly Martial God. True God General realm skills can only be sealed by half."
Jiang Hou's current martial prowess is -2, bringing his total martial prowess to 137.
With a deafening clang, like a thunderclap, the two streams of bloodthirsty energy collided violently, unleashing a dark red shockwave. The Qian soldiers within a radius of several feet were thrown about, their warhorses neighing as they retreated.
The two warhorses neighed simultaneously, their hooves sinking deep into the mud, sliding several feet backward.
Jiang Hou's arms were numb and his tiger's mouth was throbbing, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was even stronger. He stared at his opponent in black armor and black spear, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"Li Cunxiao is nothing special!"
Li Cunxiao remained silent. After stopping his retreat, he merely gave a contemptuous look before continuing his charge forward without looking back.
Although the two charged in from the south and north respectively, their weapons clashed just as they were about to pass each other. As a result, they retreated to the left and right, towards the sides of the canyon walls.
Or to be more precise, although the two fought to a draw in that exchange, it was Li Cunxiao's deliberate act. He used the force of their clash to knock them back, creating distance between them so that he could bypass Jiang Hou and continue charging forward.
Li Cunxiao's goal was to save people, not to fight the enemy. He couldn't possibly fight the enemy here anyway.
If this were a plain, Li Cunxiao might dare to fight him head-on even amidst a vast army. But in this canyon terrain, once surrounded, the difficulty of breaking out increases several levels.
Although Li Cunxiao was sometimes reckless, he was not stupid.
After all, it was Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Battalion, which consisted entirely of cavalry, while the men led by An Xiuxiu were mainly infantry.
After the two men disembarked from the troop transport vehicle and split into two groups, Li Cunxiao captured the city and led his exhausted troops to rest and recuperate in the city for a considerable period of time before beginning his advance towards Yueshan.
Even so, Li Cunxiao still narrowly made it to the battle. Just as he was about to reach Yueshan, he received a message from soldiers who came to ask for reinforcements.
Li Cunxiao was both highly skilled and daring. In order to get here in the shortest possible time, he relied on the speed of his Flaming Steed and broke away from the Flying Tiger Camp, charging over alone.
Of course, this is also because even if the Flying Tiger Battalion came along, Li Cunxiao would not allow them to enter the canyon to fight. Heavy cavalry coming to this environment would not be fighting, but rather sending themselves to their deaths.
In this environment, whether light cavalry or heavy cavalry, unless they dismount to fight, their warhorses will not only fail to help them, but will also become a burden.
When you can't even get a charge going, what's the difference between a cavalryman and a blatant target? And a huge target at that.
"Those who block my way shall die!"
Li Cunxiao's roar exploded in the canyon, and his blood energy soared into the sky, eventually converging into strands of intense blood demon, which then condensed on his body into a dark blood armor.
The blood-red armor was as thick as a mountain, yet it clung tightly to his body, with a blood-red light flowing across its surface, as if a life was slowly breathing within it.
He was already renowned for his hard skills, and now he was covered in armor formed from this baleful aura. The combination of the two made him look like a mobile fortress.
