Chapter 168: Actor Lion Camel King

The Soul-Exterminating Blood Spear and the Primordial Gilded Halberd intertwined, emitting a piercing metallic clang that sounded like the grim reaper's laughter, echoing in every warrior's ears.

Yang Yin's Soul-Exterminating Blood Spear moved in an impenetrable flurry; each thrust contained the force of thunder, as if it would draw out all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and pour it into this strike.

Meanwhile, Shan Shituo's Primordial Gilded Halberd was like a black fierce tiger, turning clouds and rain on the battlefield; each sweep seemed to devour the enemy into endless darkness.

Yang Yin, as one of the few War Gods of the younger generation in the Great Qian dynasty, inherited the Soul-Exterminating Blood Spear technique, unmatched under heaven; each thrust contained endless killing intent and destructive power.

The spear technique was as fast as lightning, as swift as a gale, leaving no defense possible.

However, Shan Shituo was no ordinary fighter; his Primordial Gilded Halberd technique likewise wielded boundless power, each strike seemingly able to rend the void and shatter the enemy.

The two engaged in a fierce clash on the battlefield, their figures constantly flickering in the air, each collision erupting with astonishing energy.

The surrounding soldiers were all affected by this energy, retreating in disarray.

As time passed, their battle grew ever more intense.

Yang Yin's Soul-Exterminating Blood Spear seemed to transform into a red dragon, churning clouds and rain on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Shan Shituo's Primordial Gilded Halberd turned into a black tiger, matching it in opposition.

Their speed and strength grew ever greater, each of their attacks enough to make heaven and earth change color.

The surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by their power, forming terrifying gales.

And at this moment, sent by Su Ye to provide support.

But the Shituo Wang, who had been loafing in the Yellow Turban Army, also encountered another War God brought by Nangong Tianxia—Yun Xinrou!

At this moment, Shituo Wang was leading a unit of elite soldiers, wandering within the Yellow Turban Army's position.

Although he had been sent by Su Ye to provide support, he had merely gone through the motions, clearly not truly committing to this battle.

His eyes revealed a hint of disdain and indifference, as if he had no interest in this war.

However, just as he was preparing to go through the motions again, a fierce arrow suddenly tore through the sky, aiming straight for his throat.

Shituo Wang flickered his body, barely dodging this deadly strike.

But after he dodged, another fierce arrow tore through the air, pointing directly at Shituo Wang.

The arrow's speed was as fast as lightning, making it impossible to dodge.

Shituo Wang frowned slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a mighty force surged forth, shattering that arrow to pieces.

Looking up, he saw a female general clad in Cang Yun Battle Armor standing not far away, holding a long bow with an arrow nocked on the string.

This was none other than the Cang Yun Archer God brought by Nangong Tianxia—Yun Xinrou.

At this moment, Yun Xinrou's gaze locked onto Shituo Wang.

She had long heard of this strongman in the Yellow Turban Army, but upon seeing him today, she was greatly disappointed.

She was a bit puzzled as to why such a powerful commander would perform so passively on the battlefield.

Thus, she decided to personally test Shituo Wang's strength.

She nocked another arrow, drew the bow, and aimed at Shituo Wang.

However, just as she was about to release the arrow, Shituo Wang suddenly lifted his head and looked at her.

As their eyes met, Yun Xinrou felt an inexplicable pressure.

But she paid no heed, and firmly shot the arrow in her hand.

Ding! Yun Xinrou's Heavenly Arrow skill activates!

Heavenly Arrow: a top-tier skill for archery commanders, evolved from the Flying Arrow and Divine Arrow skills; its effects vary depending on the user.

Effect One: While wielding a bow in combat, martial force +5.

Effect Two: When using consecutive arrows against an enemy, each arrow instantly gains +2 martial force, stackable up to five arrows.

Effect Three: When facing a melee-type enemy whose base martial force is lower than one's own, there is a certain chance to nullify one of the enemy's melee-type negative skill effects against oneself. Note: The greater the difference in base martial force between the two sides, the higher the likelihood of this skill effect triggering.

Currently, Yun Xinrou's base martial force is 106, her Cang Yun Divine Bow +1, the battlefield's Thousand Miles Cloud Smoke Steed +1, Heavenly Arrow Effect One +5, Effect Two triggered three times for +6 martial force, raising her current martial force to 119!

The arrow tore through the sky, shooting toward Shituo Wang with a fierce aura.

However, facing this deadly strike, Shituo Wang remained calm and composed.

He simply shifted his body slightly and dodged the arrow's attack.

Then he leapt forward violently, charging at Yun Xinrou.

Ding! Shituo Wang's Move Mountain skill activates!

Move Mountain: Shatter Mountains, Shock Peaks, Move Mountain Great Sage; this is Shituo Wang's exclusive skill.

Effect One: After activation, martial force +5.

Effect Two: In a duel, based on the enemy commander's martial force, one's own martial force rises 3–5 points while lowering the enemy's by 1–3 points.

Effect Three: In a group fight, if facing two enemies, martial force +2; if three enemies, +3, up to a maximum of +5.

Currently, Shituo Wang's base martial force is 106, his Shituo Breaking Army Sword +1, his Battle Horse Trampling Lion Gray +1, Move Mountain Effect One +5, Effect Two +4, reducing Yun Xinrou's martial force by 3 points.

Shituo Wang's martial force now rises to 117!

Yun Xinrou's martial force drops to 116!

Seeing Shituo Wang's move, Yun Xinrou's heart jumped.

She hadn't expected Shituo Wang's speed to be this fast.

But she did not panic; instead, she quickly nocked a second arrow, preparing to meet Shituo Wang's attack.

However, just as she was about to shoot the arrow, Shituo Wang had already rushed to her front.

He directly swung his great blade, slashing at Yun Xinrou.

Seeing this, Yun Xinrou had no choice but to reluctantly abandon the idea of shooting arrows and instead raised her sword to block Shituo Wang's attack.

For a moment, the two engaged in fierce combat. Their figures darted across the battlefield, sometimes leaping into the air to clash, sometimes landing to fight hand-to-hand.

Each collision rang with the clash of metal, causing hearts to tremble.

However, despite the two fighting fiercely and evenly, any observant person could see that Shituo Wang was not giving his all.

Each of his attacks held back strength, as if he were probing Yun Xinrou's power.

Yun Xinrou also noticed this, and she couldn't help feeling a surge of anger.

She didn't understand why the Shituo Wang would do this—could he really look down on her?

Thinking this, Yun Xinrou decided to hold nothing back.

She took a deep breath, gathered her whole body's strength, and prepared to unleash a fatal blow.

However, at that moment, the Shituo Wang suddenly put away his great blade and retreated backward.

"No more fighting!"

The Shituo Wang shouted loudly, "I surrender!"

Hearing the Shituo Wang's words, Yun Xinrou froze.

She never expected the Shituo Wang to suddenly surrender.

"Why do you surrender?"

Yun Xinrou asked, "Your strength is not inferior to mine."

"Because I don't want to fight you anymore."

The Shituo Wang sighed, "The General knows the situation of the Yellow Turban Army; as long as we can save face, that's enough."

The Shituo Wang's face was expressionless.

Ever since he came to Auspicious Prefecture, whenever he made a move, he would first tell his opponent.

Once everyone steps onto the battlefield, they just need to pair off for duels.

And the few War Gods of the opposing Great Qian also had a mutual understanding.

Everyone was just in it for promotions and wealth.

What's the point of risking one's life?

Do they really think fighting to the death with a fellow War God is fun!
