After all, human strength has its limits.

They could incessantly draw vital energy from heaven and earth to replenish themselves.

But as a lone individual, Blue‑Abyss Sea could not do so.

Especially because he continually upheld his Azure Serpent Dharma Manifestation, draining his stamina and gangqi at double the rate.

Under the relentless onslaught of the Yellow Heaven Dharma Manifestation,

Blue‑Abyss Sea's body started to bear wounds, his armor soaked red with blood.

Yet he did not yield; he continued to brandish his blood‑stained serpent‑scale spear, striking back at the enemy.

Translation: With both hands he placed his azure‑blood snake‑scale spear across his chest, hard‑blocking a heavy strike from the Yellow Heaven Dharma Aspect, and was ruthlessly knocked to the ground.

The moment Blue‑Abyss Sea hit the ground, an invisible force seized him, leaving him unable to move.

The Yellow Turban warriors' formation instantly shrank, creating a massive yellow light cocoon that, combined with the earth‑yellow chains aloft, totally encased Blue‑Abyss Sea.

Translation: The Yellow Turban warriors' formation instantly contracted, forming a huge yellow cocoon of light, which together with the earth‑yellow chains in the air completely wrapped Blue Abyss Sea.

His body gradually grew feeble and powerless, the light in his eyes fading from its initial reluctance into dimness.

Thousands of black‑armored soldiers formed a black‑clad army that swiftly advanced on the battlefield, their ranks continually rotating into a huge vortex brimming with power, as if it could swallow everything.

Evidently, it too was a military formation akin to the Yellow Heaven Dharma Manifestation wielded by the Yellow Turban warriors.

Translation: Evidently, it was also a military grand formation similar to the Yellow Heaven Dharma Aspect deployed by the Yellow Turban warriors!

Within the black army's formation loomed a massive black scythe, its shield etched with mysterious runes that radiated unmatched sharpness.

A huge black dharma manifestation slowly formed within the black army, reaching nearly ten zhang in height like the Yellow Heaven Dharma Manifestation and emanating a freezing aura.

Translation: A colossal black Dharma Aspect gradually took shape within this black‑clad army, standing as tall as nearly ten zhang like the Yellow Heaven Dharma Aspect, its whole body exuding a chilling aura.

In its hand it loosely grasped a mass of black energy.

Obviously, that black spear had just been hurled from its hand.

Translation: Obviously, that black spear just now was thrown from its hand.

After all, you can't just throw a scythe like that.

Translation: After all, a sickle cannot be thrown like that.

Whoosh!

Translation: "Whoosh!"

The newly formed black dharma manifestation slowly grasped the huge black scythe.

Translation: The newly formed black Dharma Aspect slowly gripped that huge black sickle.

This scythe was utterly deep black, as if blended with the night‑sky darkness.

Evidently, it was one of the Great Qian court's hidden trump‑card dao soldiers—the Soul‑Hooking Army!

Translation: Evidently, it was one of the hidden trump cards of the Great Qian court's Dao Soldiers—the Hook‑Soul Army!

Obviously, on the front battlefield above Luzhou, Zhang Jue, Zhu Yuanzhang, Meng Zhang and a few others, plus a top-tier War God Niu Mo Wang.

They have almost driven the Great Qian court to desperation.

This time, on the Lu Zhou battlefield, there was not only a veteran War God, Lan Youhai, hidden there, but also, secretly accompanying Lan Youhai to the frontline battlefield at Lu Zhou, was the Hook Soul Army, this Heaven and Earth Army.

As for why they were hidden behind the scenes, what scheme they were playing is self-evident.

As a veteran War God, Lan Youhai, together with a unit of Dao Soldiers, the Hook Soul Army.

In any war, if used well, they can tip the balance of this war.

At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army commanders Zhang Jue and Zhu Yuanzhang et al., if they were to be caught off guard by Lan Youhai leading this Hook Soul Army to strike them unawares...

Even if Meng Zhang suddenly reveals his hidden strength, he may not be able to protect Zhang Jue and them.

Also fortunate that Meng Zhang, when the Bull Demon King arrived at the Lu Zhou battlefield, was a match for the Flying Immortal Spear God Palace's Xiao Chuan thereafter.

It was expected that the Great Qian court would definitely increase its stakes on the Lu Zhou battlefield.

At least we must ensure that the Great Qian army can suppress the Yellow Turban Army on the frontline battlefield.

Thus Zhang Jue and Zhu Yuanzhang ended up fighting on the frontline battlefield.

Meanwhile, Meng Zhang led the Yellow Turban Valiants, the sole trump card of the Taiping Sect, deep into enemy rear.

Besides scouting the Great Qian court's support, they also wanted to find an opportunity to exploit the intelligence gap and directly assassinate them.

After all, the Taiping Sect had not leaked any information about their possession of the Yellow Turban Valiants, this unit of Dao Soldiers.

The selection and training of the Yellow Turban Valiants, including Zhang Jue, have always been personally handled by themselves, never through others.

After all, the fact that the Taiping Sect is a winery is no longer a secret.

Therefore, if the Great Qian court is unprepared, the Yellow Turban Valiants suddenly striking...

They could actually catch a War God off guard and kill him.

This time, the Blood‑Blood Divine General Lan Youhai in the great camp is just like that, already almost captured and killed by the Yellow Turban Valiants.

If the army that the Great Qian sent to reinforce Lan Youhai this time were not this unit of Dao Soldiers, the Hook Soul Army...

Today, truly no one can save Lan Youhai.
