Chapter 288: Myriad Ren vs Dragon Sparrow!

Ding! Lu Guyun's skill Myriad Ren activates!

Myriad Ren: Myriad Ren cliffs tower into the clouds, Lone Cloud strides alone to display heroism. Different people experience different effects when activating it.

Effect One: When Lu Guyun uses this spear technique against an enemy, his martial force increases by 3 points, while reducing an enemy commander's martial force by 1 point; this effect can be triggered three times.

Effect Two: In a duel, if Lu Guyun spots an opening in his opponent, he can unleash a fatal strike, instantly increasing his martial force by 5 points and nullifying the enemy's weapon bonus for one turn. This effect can only be triggered once every ten turns.

Effect Three: When facing an enemy commander whose base martial force is equal to or greater than his own, Lu Guyun's martial force gains an additional +4; when facing an enemy commander whose base martial force is lower than his own, his martial force gains an additional +3, and there is a certain chance to temporarily seal the enemy spear-wielding commander's skill. (Requires base martial force to reach Saint Rank to unlock.)

Effect Four: In group combat, when Lu Guyun uses the Lone Cloud Soul-Severing Spear, he can reduce the martial force of all enemy commanders by 2 points, while increasing his own and all allied commanders' martial force by 1 point. However, commanders affected by specific negative skills do not receive this bonus.

Effect Five: When Lu Guyun is at a life-or-death juncture, he can unleash his potential, instantly increasing his martial force by 8 points, and there is a certain probability to directly slay the enemy. However, after using this effect, Lu Guyun falls into a brief weakened state. (Requires base martial force to reach Saint Rank, and only when severely wounded and near death can it be triggered.)

Currently, Lu Guyun's base martial force is 108; his weapon Lone Cloud Piercing Heavens Spear adds +1 martial force; his steed Chasing Wind, Pursuing Cloud Steed adds +1 martial force; activating Myriad Ren Effect One once adds +3 martial force, reducing Long Junzuo's martial force by 1 point; Effect Three triggers, since his base martial force exceeds Long Junzuo's, his martial force gains +3; Effect Two triggers, adding +5 martial force.

Lu Guyun's martial force value value rises to 121!

Suddenly, Lu Guyun moved.

His figure was like the wind, his spear turning into a silver flash, thrusting straight at Long Junzuo's chest.

Long Junzuo's eyes narrowed, his body slightly sidestepping, skillfully dodging this deadly strike.

Thereafter, the Dragon Sparrow Breaking Army Halberd in his hand transformed into a dragon-shaped light shadow, thrusting straight at Lu Guyun.

Effect Four: In group combat, reduce the enemy commanders' martial force by 3 points, and increase allied commanders' martial force by 1 point.

Their weapons clashed in midair, emitting a crisp metallic clang.

Ding! Currently, Lu Guyun Myriad Ren skill Effect One fully activated, martial force +9, Effect Three martial force +3, Effect Two martial force +5.

Dragon Sparrow: Dragon Sparrow Dance, like a dragon soaring the heavens, a sparrow dancing across the vast sky. Different people experience different effects when activating it. This is the exclusive effect of the Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Long Junzuo.

Lu Guyun's martial force value drops to 118!

Lu Guyun's martial force value rises to 127!

Their figures swiftly moved under the moonlight, their weapons like two silver dragons, swirling and dancing in the night sky.

Ha, bring it on!

Every clash is a contest of life and death, a battle of wisdom and courage.

Ding! Long Junzuo's skill Dragon Sparrow activates!

Effect One: Long Junzuo, in battle, every five rounds can unleash Dragon Sparrow power, increasing his martial force by 3 points, and it can stack, up to four times. Additionally, each stack can also remove one negative effect from Long Junzuo or any allied commander who also possesses the Dragon Sparrow skill.

Long Junzuo's martial force value rises to 115!

In the blink of an eye, they have already exchanged dozens of rounds.

Lu Guyun flickered his form, skillfully dodging a strike from the Dragon Sparrow Breaking Army Halberd, and simultaneously backhanded his spear to sweep at Long Junzuo's waist.

Effect Three: In a duel, if the enemy's weapon is a spear or axe-type and their martial force is not higher than Long Junzuo's, the Dragon Sparrow skill's Effect Two can trigger again; if their martial force is higher than Long Junzuo's, then his own martial force increases by 3 points.

Long Junzuo's body flexibly turned, not only dodging this sweep but also following through with a fierce chop using the side of his halberd toward Lu Guyun.

Currently, Long Junzuo's base martial force is 107; his weapon Dragon Sparrow Breaking Army Halberd adds +1 martial force; his steed Treading Cloud Black Dragon adds +1 martial force; activating Dragon Sparrow Effect Once adds +3 martial force; Effect Three triggers, adding +3 martial force; Effect Two triggers, reducing Lu Guyun's current martial force of 121 by 3 points.

Effect Two: When Long Junzuo engages an enemy with the Dragon Sparrow Breaking Army Halberd, depending on the enemy's martial force level, he reduces their martial force by 2 to 5 points.

Each impact seems able to make the air tremble.

Ding! Long Junzuo's Dragon Sparrow skill fully activated, Effect One martial force +12, Effect Three martial force +3. Simultaneously reducing Lu Guyun's martial force by 3 points.

Long Junzuo's martial force value rises to 124!

Lu Guyun's martial force value drops to 124!

This chop carries the force of wind and thunder; if struck, the consequences are unimaginable.

But Lu Guyun, no less than an outstanding figure on the battlefield, swiftly retreated.

At the same time, he lifted his spear to accurately block this deadly strike.

The two swiftly moved under the moonlight, each attack extremely fierce.

Long Junzuo's Dragon Sparrow Breaking Army Halberd traced strange arcs in the air, sometimes like a dragon emerging from the sea, sometimes like a sparrow soaring in the sky, making it impossible to defend against.

Lu Guyun, unwilling to be outdone, wielded his spear like a silver divine dragon, flexibly attacking and defending.

The battle entered a white-hot phase; the two figures swiftly crisscrossed under the moonlight, each clash producing the sound of metal striking metal.

Long Junzuo grew braver with battle; his Dragon Sparrow Breaking Army Halberd seemed to have a life of its own, flexibly attacking every opening of Lu Guyun.

Lu Guyun also displayed his extraordinary martial skill, each defense perfectly timed.

The night was as dark as ink; the breeze in the mountains and forests gently swayed the leaves, producing a rustling sound.

In the clearing of this dense forest, Long Junzuo and Lu Guyun have already exchanged hundreds of rounds.

Their battle was extraordinarily fierce, yet still undecided.

Long Junzuo's Dragon Sparrow Breaking Army Halberd, each swing carrying the force of wind and thunder, while Lu Guyun's spear attacked like a silver snake, agile and swift.

The two figures swiftly crisscrossed under the moonlight, each clash emitting the sound of metal striking metal, with sparks flying everywhere.

The two have already reached the level of War God.

Their martial arts have already reached the pinnacle of perfection, making it momentarily impossible to determine superiority.

As time passed, their battle grew ever more intense.

But at this moment, urgent hoofbeats came from the distant mountain path.

The Great Yong Dragon Sparrow troops, originally following the main army's withdrawal ahead, have already noticed the commotion here and are rapidly moving toward this side.

Long Junzuo and Lu Guyun both realized this, and their battle rhythm began to change.

Lu Guyun wielded his Lone Cloud Piercing Heavens Spear with greater ferocity, attempting to decide the outcome in a short time.

Long Junzuo, unwilling to be outdone, made his Dragon Sparrow Breaking Army Halberd dance with greater agility, seeking Lu Guyun's opening.

Lu Guyun caught sight of rising dust in the distance from the corner of his eye, his heart tightening.

He knew well that now was not the time to linger in battle.

"Long Junzuo, today's battle ends here. There will be plenty of time ahead; let us fight again!"

Then he feinted with his spear, leapt out of the battle circle, and shouted loudly.

"You cowardly rats, if you're scared, just say so."

"Why bother looking for such excuses?"

Long Junzuo also noticed the commotion in the distance; he gripped the Dragon Sparrow Breaking Army Halberd tightly, coldly staring at Lu Guyun, a hint of contempt curling at the corner of his mouth.
