Chapter 81: The Old Coin of the Azure Serpent

This slash was as fast as lightning, leaving the Great Qian commander no time to react.

Just as the blade was about to cleave the commander, a personal guard suddenly stepped in front of Qiao Shefei, trying to block this fatal blow for his general.

However, Qiao Shefei was a martial general at the peak of divine generalship, and still held great dominance on the battlefield.

He swiftly changed the blade's direction, slicing past the guard's chest.

At the same time, Qiao Shefei's other hand grabbed the Great Qian commander's shoulder and yanked hard.

This move caused the Great Qian commander to lose balance and topple toward Qiao Shefei.

Afterwards, Qiao Shefei quickly flipped the war blade and struck the commander's head with the hilt.

With a dull thud, the Great Qian commander collapsed to the ground.

The surrounding Great Qian soldiers, seeing this, panicked and were at a loss.

The Great Qian relief force, having lost its commander, instantly fell into chaos.

Having lost direction and morale, they began to scatter and flee.

The remaining officers of this Great Qian relief force, seeing the situation turn sour, could only reluctantly order a retreat.

However, Qiao Shefei's cavalry unit gave them no chance to escape.

They tightly pursued this Great Qian relief force, driving them all the way back to their camp.

Under Qiao Shefei's command, the pursuing cavalry launched a fierce attack on the Great Qian camp.

Just

Thud!

Hmph!

With a deafening collision sound, accompanied by Qiao Shefei's muffled grunt.

Oh!

Inside the Great Qian main camp, a colossal serpent Dharma Aspect formed entirely of dark-green gangqi rose to the heavens with a long roar!

"Hahaha!"

"Yellow Turban Rebels, I've been waiting for you!"

Gazing at the distant figure wielding the Doomsday Twin Blades, hands trembling, was Qiao Shefei.

Opposite him stood a martial general clad in emerald-green armor, holding a cyan-blood snake-scale spear, who laughed loudly at Qiao Shefei.

He was none other than another state-level War God of Great Qian, the Azure-Blood Divine General Lan Youhai!

Evidently, as the main battlefield at Lu Prefecture, when the original Flying Immortal Spear God Palace's Xiao Chuan was intercepted on the battlefield by the suddenly appearing Bull Demon King of the Yellow Turbans,

the Great Qian court also grew uneasy, for Lu Prefecture, as the main battlefield, absolutely could not be lost.

It could not even be suppressed by the Yellow Turbans.

Now, all of Great Qian watches this pivotal battle.

If Great Qian cannot demonstrate an overwhelming, crushing superiority over the Yellow Turbans,

or even once it shows signs of decline against the Yellow Turbans,

the ambitious figures throughout Great Qian will see the weakness hidden beneath Great Qian's surface.

then what awaits Great Qian next is beacon fires erupting everywhere, as all the great ambitious figures rise in rebellion.

Only then will Great Qian truly reach a point of life and death.

Therefore, when Great Qian's Flying Immortal Spear God Palace's Xiao Chuan is blocked by the Bull Demon King, and the situation at the Lu Prefecture battlefield reaches an impasse,

even the Great Qian court far away in Qian Capital, even if it must sacrifice something, can only grit its teeth.

It once again transferred a War God to the Lu Prefecture battlefield.

However, the current commander-in-chief of Great Qian on the Lu Prefecture battlefield, Qiu Longteng, is not in a hurry to let Lan Youhai take the field.

Instead, he temporarily concealed Lan Youhai, planning to use him as a trump card.

To strike the Yellow Turbans unexpectedly when they are unprepared.

Then Qiao Shefei, who came to attack the camp, crashed straight in.

The hidden Lan Youhai, emerging with his Dharma Aspect, thrust a spear.

Had it not been for the melee, and also cutting down the chief commander of that relief force just now,

Qiao Shefei's skills have already mostly erupted.

Otherwise, if one were not careful, Qiao Shefei might very well be slain on the spot by Lan Youhai, that old hard coin hiding in the shadows.

"Hmph! A despicable sneak attacker hiding in the shadows!"

Shaking his slightly numb and sore hands, Qiao Shefei looked at the dark-green Dharma Aspect behind Lan Youhai not far away and sneered.

"Heh heh! Whether I'm a despicable person is not something a dead man like you should worry about!"

Seeing the faint purple gangqi on Qiao Shefei's body hinting at forming a Dharma Aspect, Lan Youhai's eyes flashed; he did not take Qiao Shefei's mockery to heart.

On the contrary, Qiao Shefei's condition only further aroused Lan Youhai's killing intent.

As a War God himself, Lan Youhai could hardly miss it; the state of Qiao Shefei's body clearly indicates he is on the verge of breaking through to War God.

Precisely for this reason, Lan Youhai must slay Qiao Shefei here today.

Otherwise, before long, Great Qian will have another War God–level opponent on the Lu Prefecture battlefield.

"Ding! Qiao Shefei's Purple Abyss skills all activated! Combat power +10, when the Magic Slash skill activates, combat power +6, when the Swift Shadow skill activates, combat power +3

Qiao Shefei's base combat power is 105, his weapon Doomsday Twin Blades +1, raising his current combat power to 125!"

"Reverse Star Dark Shadow Flash!"

Gazing at the Dharma Aspect behind Lan Youhai opposite him, Qiao Shefei unleashed his full power as soon as he moved.

At this moment, Meng Zhang, who was following behind Qiao Shefei's cavalry with the Yellow Turbans' strongmen, narrowed his eyes and watched the battle in the camp.

As time passed, the difference in combat power between the two sides began to show.

Although Qiao Shefei, with his skills fully unleashed at the start, could still fight Lan Youhai for a while.

But as Lan Youhai's skills erupted, the situation began to gradually reverse.

Now Qiao Shefei has begun to be suppressed, barely surviving under Lan Youhai's spear.

"Really?"

As the biggest internal threat to Great Qian today, Meng Zhang and Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not be unaware of Great Qian's current predicament.

Even having anticipated this, given that Great Qian's supreme combat power on the front battlefield, the Flying Immortal Spear God Gong Xiaochuan, is obstructed.

Great Qian will surely dispatch another War God from elsewhere to the Lu Prefecture battlefield, hoping to maintain its advantage on the front battlefield.

All that Meng Zhang and Zhu Yuanzhang do not know is which War God Great Qian will dispatch.

Therefore, the Yellow Turban army led by Meng Zhang this time deep into enemy rear was not originally aimed at the granary.

Even burning the granary this time was merely incidental, to ease some pressure on the Yellow Turbans.

But for Great Qian, which has held the Nine Provinces for hundreds of years, a single granary is merely a drizzle.

At most it would cause only a brief strain on Great Qian's logistics.

And since Meng Zhang personally led the troops this time, it certainly was not just for burning a little grain.

He had originally come for this newly dispatched War God of Great Qian.

"Go, let me see the true strength of the Yellow Turban Warrior."

"Yellow Heaven Great Formation!"

Watching Lan Youhai in the main camp go all out to attack Qiao Shefei, occasionally leaving a wound on him.

Meng Zhang turned his head and smiled at the thousands of stalwart Yellow Turban Warriors behind him.

These Yellow Turban Warriors personally trained by Zhang Jue, even after following Meng Zhang through several battles, have not diminished their aura in the slightest.

The Yellow Heaven Great Formation is the only way for Yellow Turban Warriors, as a special troop type, to oppose a War God with the strength of ordinary soldiers!
