Chapter 384

However, facing Huyan Zhuo's outburst, Fang Zhong at this moment stood immovable like an insurmountable mountain, preventing Huyan Zhuo from advancing even half a step.

At the same time, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong and the others also fell into a bitter fight.

Although they were incomparably brave, in single combat they might not necessarily be able to defeat Armored Squad Two.

Not to mention that Armored Squad Two also ganged up on them without observing martial ethics.

Guan Sheng's Green Dragon Crescent Blade was wielded so tightly that not even wind could pass, yet it was repeatedly blocked by Bei Kai's Meteor Spear.

Lin Chong's spear technique was restrained by Diannan's Flaming Blade, preventing him from exerting its full power.

"Haha! You're already at the end of your rope!"

"Or just surrender obediently!"

Ze Xi laughed loudly, his Thunderbolt Axe tracing lightning-like arcs in the air, keeping the enemy from approaching.

"Surrender? Those two words don't exist in the Yellow Turban Army's dictionary!"

"Even if we die on the battlefield today, we'll drag a few of you down with us!"

"Ding!"

Tianxiong: This is the Liang Shan Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang, the awakened skill of Tianxiong Star Lin Chong.

Effect One: Upon activation of this skill, martial force +5.

Effect Two: The Zhangba She Mao spear stands firm, the Frost Flower steed often neighs. When engaging in combat with spear/polearm-type weapons, if one wields a divine weapon, the weapon enhancement effect doubles; if one wields an ordinary weapon, one can also gain 1 point of martial force addition.

Effect Three: In a duel, depending on the relative martial force of both sides, reduce the opponent's martial force by 1 to 3 points.

Effect Four: Can combine with the rest of the Liang Shan heroes to form the combined skill "Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang" and "One Hundred Eight Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend".

Leopard Head: Everyone on the mountain calls him Little Zhang Fei; Leopard Head Lin Chong is exactly that, Lin Chong's exclusive skill.

Effect One: Endure, every ten exchanges in battle, martial force +2, can be activated up to three times.

Effect Two: Leopard Kill, among enemies, when one discovers the opponent's flaw, one can transform the influence of a certain negative skill effect received on oneself into a self-enhancement effect. If one has not received any negative skill effect, then take half (round up if odd) of the actual effect of Tianxiong Skill Effect Two and apply it as an enhancement to oneself. Note: This effect can only be activated after discovering the opponent's flaw, and can only be activated once per battle, each activation lasts three rounds, after which martial force returns to original.

Current Lin Chong base martial force 100, weapon Zhangba She Mao martial force +1, war horse Juan Mao Ju martial force +1, skill Tianxiong Effect One activated, martial force +5, Effect Two activated, extra +1, skill Leopard Head triggered twice, martial force +4, current Huyan Zhuo martial force rises to 112!

Lin Chong roared, thrusting his spear at Ze Xi, but Ze Xi easily dodged it.

"Hmph! Just you guys?"

However, Ze Xi smiled indifferently.

Saying this, he backhandedly swung his axe at Lin Chong's rear.

"Careful!"

Huyan Zhuo, seeing this, turned pale with fright, hastily whipped his whip to block, but it was still a step too late; Ze Xi's axe had already left a deep wound on Lin Chong's shoulder.

"Ah!"

Lin Chong let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, blood staining the earth behind him, yet he struggled to rise and continue fighting.

"Brother Lin Chong!"

Huyan Zhuo and Guan Sheng, seeing this, turned pale with fright, rushed forward to support him, their eyes filled with anger and helplessness.

Watching their comrade injured yet being unable to help, this feeling made them feel extremely stifled and pained.

"You bunch of villains! Actually bullying the few with the many!" Huyan Zhuo roared.

"Hmph! On the battlefield there is only victory or defeat, no talk of villainy or righteousness!"

Fang Zhong coldly snorted, indifferent.

Huyan Zhuo, Lin Chong, and Guan Sheng gathered together, backs to each other, facing the encirclement of Armored Squad Two.

Their weapons and armor were already stained with blood, yet their eyes remained steadfast.

"Brothers, today we probably will die on the battlefield."

Huyan Zhuo said with a bitter smile, his voice revealing a hint of helplessness and solemn grandeur.

He wielded double whips, strenuously contending with Armored Squad Two, each whip strike carrying the momentum of moving mountains and overturning seas.

"Hmph! To die on the battlefield, wrapped in horsehide, that is exactly the destination of us warriors!"

Guan Sheng spoke heroically, his Green Dragon Crescent Blade wielded with vigorous vigor, a blue aura circling the blade, each chop and slash carrying strong force.

Lin Chong said nothing, but his actions had already shown everything.

He gripped the Zhangba She Mao spear tightly, charging at the enemy again and again, each time giving his all, as if to vent all his anger and resentment.

The spear tip flashed with cold light, a silver aura coiled around it, making his attacks even more fierce.

"Ding! Detected Liang Shan Five Tigers Lin Chong, Huyan Zhuo, and Guan Sheng all present simultaneously, combined skill Five Tigers Break Enemy activated!"

Five Tigers Break Enemy: Liang Shan Five Tigers combined skill, requires at least three members of the Liang Shan Five Tigers to join hands to be activated.

Effect: When dueling generals, if three join forces, everyone's martial force +2; four people +3; five people +4. After this skill is activated, it will greatly boost overall army morale……the more people present, the greater the army's enhancement.

Current Huyan Zhuo martial force +2, current martial force value rises to 111!

Current Lin Chong martial force +2, current martial force value rises to 113!

Current Guan Sheng martial force +2, current martial force value rises to"

However, facing the trio's combined technique, Armored Squad Two's five members cooperated seamlessly; whether it was Diannan's Flaming Blade, Bei Kai's Meteor Spear, or Ze Xi's Thunderbolt Axe, each attack put the Liang Shan heroes in peril.

The Five Elements Armored aura colors varied, red, black, and white intertwined, resembling a gorgeous rainbow, yet full of killing intent.

Huyan Zhuo and his companions' aura had begun to weaken, and their movements grew increasingly sluggish.

But Armored Squad Two grew braver with each battle, their aura seeming endless, each attack becoming more fierce.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from afar; leading the way, Nine-patterned Dragon Shi Jin and Blue-faced Beast Yang Zi led a group of Liang Shan heroes rushing to reinforce.

Their arrival refreshed the spirits of Huyan Zhuo and company, as if they had seen hope.

"Hold on, brothers! We've come to support you!"

Shi Jin shouted loudly, green aura surging on his body, like the vitality and vigor of spring.

Yang Zi, meanwhile, had a stern expression, his aura deep blue, as unfathomable as the deep sea.

However, even with reinforcements, the battle situation remained unfavorable.

The Armored Squad Two's strength was overwhelming; their Strong Qi was like an invisible barrier, keeping the many heroes of Liang Shan outside.

In the battle, several members of the Liang Shan Earthly Fiends also joined the fray, namely the Liang Shan Earthly Fiends members Bai Mian Lang Jun Zheng Tianshou, Cao Dao Gui Cao Zheng, and Huo Shan Po Wang Dingliu.

Each brought different Strong Qi, attempting to break the Armored Squad Two's encirclement.

However, the Armored Squad Two's strength was truly overwhelming.

Fang Zhong's earth-yellow Strong Qi was as heavy as mountains; each swing of the Splitting Earth Blade brought a gust of wind, making it difficult to get close.

Under the Armored Squad Two's fierce assault, the Strong Qi of the Liang Shan Earthly Fiends members gradually dissipated under their encirclement, and their lives faded away.
