Chapter 103: Five Elements!

And the other two squads were equally strong, five people per group, forming the hereditary Five Elements Formation.

On the battlefield they formed the Five Elements Formation and charged wildly.

They arranged themselves in a line in the order of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, each performing their duty, mutually assisting.

Their movements were neat and uniform, as if they had developed a tacit understanding through countless trials.

When attacking, they were sometimes as fierce as a violent storm, sometimes as continuous as a trickling stream.

Under the attack of the two squads of ten Five Elements Armor users employing the Five Elements Formation, the enemy ranks began to waver.

The soldiers were shocked by the immense power of the Five Elements Armor and all retreated.

They tried to scatter, tried to flee the battlefield, but the offensive of the Five Elements Formation bound them tightly like a heavenly net and earthly trap.

"Ding! Currently the Five Elements Armor users are on the same battlefield, fighting side by side, the combo skill Heaven and Earth Five Elements activates, with different effects for different squads!"

Heaven and Earth Five Elements: an exclusive combo skill for Five Elements Armor wearers, usable only when three or more Five Elements Armor users are on the same battlefield fighting side by side.

Effect One: After this skill effect activates, with five Five Elements Armor users present, martial power +4; with four present, +3; with three present, +2.

Effect Two: Five Elements Rotation, when more than three Five Elements Armor users join forces against an enemy, depending on the enemy's strength, they can suppress the enemy's martial power by 1 to 6 points.

Effect Three: Five Elements Suppress Demons, when more than three Five Elements Armor users join forces against an enemy, they can seal one skill of the opposing combatant that contains the words demon, monster, strange, evil, beast, etc.; when facing a heavenly god general, they can only seal a random layer of skill effect.

Effect Four: Heaven and Earth Five Elements, when all five are present simultaneously, the Five Elements stabilize, suppressing all enemy weather-type skills related to the Five Elements!

"Ding! Currently all five Five Elements Armor users are present, total martial power +4"

Xizhao's martial power +4, current martial power rises to 124!

Li Minnan's martial power +4, current martial power rises to 127!

Beimiao, Dongshan, Kunzhong martial power +4!

At this moment on the city wall, the two squads of Five Elements Armor.

The Flame Dragon Armor is scorching hot throughout, blazing like fierce fire; the Flame Blade in hand emits a crimson energy wave, its blazing fire-like attack burns enemies to ash, like a raging fire sweeping everything away.

The Wind Hawk Armor is green like a forest, full of vitality; the Wind Hawk Sword in hand can release the power of a gale, a blue energy wave sweeps across, slicing enemies into fragments, like a sudden gust, leaving enemies nowhere to escape.

The Black Rhino Armor is deep as the sea, full of mysterious power. The Water Armor Shield and Meteor Spear in hand can block enemy attacks while releasing a blue-green energy wave shockwave, repelling enemies like a surging tide that engulfs them.

The Earth Tiger Armor is heavy and solid, as stable as the earth; the Splitting Earth Blade in hand can trigger earthquake-like attacks, yellow-brown energy waves constantly surge, shattering enemies like a collapsing mountain and splitting earth, leaving them nowhere to hide.

The two squads of Five Elements Armor, five per group, formed a formation; the Flame Dragon Hero led in front, the Wind Hawk Hero circled on the left wing, the Black Rhino Hero defended on the right wing, the Earth Tiger Hero provided rear support, and the Snow Mastiff Hero took the central position to lead the assault.

The Flame Dragon Armor's Flame Blade and the Wind Hawk Armor's Wind Hawk Sword cooperate, one attacking, one defending, leaving the enemy unable to defend against either.

Their movements were neat and uniform, like five dragons stirring the sea, five tigers descending the mountain, unstoppable.

Their attacks were sometimes wildly violent, sometimes finely detailed, forming an impregnable offense-defense system.

The defensive formation of the Jade Splendor Pass Garrison began to waver under the assault of the two squads of Five Elements Armor.

The Flame Dragon Armor's Flame Blade danced forth like a fire dragon leaping into the sea, wherever it passed the flames surged; the Wind Hawk Armor's Wind Hawk Sword swept by, leaving trails of green wind; the Black Rhino Armor's Water Armor Shield blocked countless attacks while continuously releasing energy wave shockwaves; the Earth Tiger Armor's Splitting Earth Blade continually triggered earthquake-like tremors; the Snow Mastiff Armor's Thunder Shock Axe, as it swung, emitted metallic clashing sounds.

The two squads of Five Elements Armor, bolstered by the combo skill, instantly felt as if aided by deities, as if the whole heaven and earth were helping them.

Innumerable heaven and earth vital energy, under the effect of the combo skill, frenziedly surged into their ten bodies, continually replenishing the energy they expended in battle.

This made the ten of them grow braver with each fight, their strength endless and inexhaustible, as if limitless.

Moreover, in battle, the Five Elements Formation employed by the two squads of Five Elements Armor constantly adjusted its formation and attack style according to the enemy's attack patterns and formation changes, to maintain optimal combat condition.

Under their attack, the enemy ranks ahead of the troops that suddenly burst out from the underground tunnel gradually collapsed.

The soldiers defending Jade Splendor Pass all raised their weapons to surrender or fled in all directions.

Meanwhile, the Cangzhou Army attacking Jade Splendor Pass took advantage of the moment when the defenders on the city wall were thrown into disarray by the sudden assault of the Five Elements Armor.

The soldiers of the assault army cooperated, using cloud ladders to climb the city wall.

The cloud ladders kept rising under the soldiers' push until they neared the city wall.

The Cangzhou Army soldiers clung tightly to the cloud ladders, straining to climb upward.

Under the intentional cover of the Five Elements Armor, the assault army soldiers smoothly climbed onto the city wall.

The Cangzhou Army soldiers brandished their weapons and engaged in fierce combat with the enemies on the city wall.

As more and more soldiers climbed onto the city wall, behind them Old Six was digging his anus.

The male defenders of Jade Splendor Pass on both sides finally could not hold up, retreating step by step.

"Come die!"

Li Minnan's double‑gripped Flame Blade flashed with crimson energy, cleaving in half all the crossbowmen on the city wall who were wielding "Gang‑breaking Crossbow", "Gang‑splitting Arrow", and "Qi‑shattering Crossbow Bolt" and shooting wildly at the White Tiger and others below.

And Sun Wukong and the others, upon noticing the commotion on the city wall and feeling that the "Gang‑breaking Crossbow" had fallen silent, immediately reacted.

They quickly approached the city wall, grabbed the prepared cloud ladder, and began to climb up swiftly.

"Hehe, this old monkey Sun has arrived!"

Sun Wukong, who had been digging the underground tunnel continuously for several days, and who had just been subjected to a barrage of Gang‑breaking Crossbow fire from beneath the city wall, had long been seething with anger.

Now, at last unopposed, he smoothly made his way up to the city wall as he wished.

His whole body felt refreshed, and he let out a hearty shout.

Holding the Golden Cudgel, his Linked Golden Armor glittered, like a golden cloud.

His energy surged throughout his body, like a golden‑yellow tank, and he charged straight into the enemy ranks.

Swinging the Golden Cudgel in his hand, like a lightning bolt tearing across the sky, he instantly knocked the city wall's defenders flying away. His

As the Golden Cudgel danced, it formed golden whirlwinds that swept everything away.

Sun Wukong's figure moved freely through the enemy ranks, at times leaping into the air, at times diving into the ground.

The Golden Cudgel in his hand traced elegant arcs in the air, striking the enemies and leaving them in disarray.

His movements were continuous and rhythmic, each attack precise and deadly.

Let's talk about the combat strength of the Five Elements Armor.

Li Minnan was already near War God level; with various buffs stacked, when using his ultimate skill his martial power is indeed quite high, but considering that a squad later can directly fuse into an Emperor to face the big boss.

Base martial strength can't be too high; we can only increase the skill buff a little.

Team Two's skills differ from Team One's, both individually and in combination, and they are relatively weaker.

Besides, 15 points is the instant-kill threshold; the strongest Li Xinnan's finishing move is only about 139, so picking on someone with 106 is still fine.

Most with base martial 107 are around 134; the Flame Dragon's strongest fire-earth finishing move inflicts heavy injury that's quite intimidating.

What's more, like the Flame Emperor, with no buffs whatsoever, a single blow split the Great Peng.

Li Xinnan wants to reach the peak; he needs all conditions satisfied, and only with maxed buffs can he achieve it.
