Chapter 291

Had they not spoken to ask, he likely would not have noticed even now.

If this were an assassin, the problem would be huge.

803 "Ahem... May I ask this young master, are you worrying about the predicament before you?"

Seeming not to notice the look of vigilance on Su Li's face, the mysterious person gave a light cough and continued to ask.

"What if I am? And what if I am not?"

Su Li sized up the mysterious person calmly, then asked in return.

The mysterious person seemed to let out a chuckle and said: "If the young master is worrying about the predicament before you, this one might be able to lend the young master a helping hand."

"But if the young master is not... then just pretend this one never appeared."

Having received an astonishing answer, Su Li was somewhat suspicious: "Does your excellency know what predicament I am worrying about?"

"Of course."

The mysterious person still replied with that neutral voice: "The Earth Duke General Zhang Bao has set up a technique to trap you and the other Han troops, preventing you from advancing even a step."

Su Li immediately became interested: "Then... do you know what technique Zhang Bao has set up?"

"I fear it is... the Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique!"

The mysterious person replied again with a neutral voice.

"It is indeed the Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique, and not only that, it also contains the power of the Earth Scroll of the Taiping Essential Arts, which can continuously drain our stamina..."

Su Li's expression suddenly sharpened: "Even so, you can lend me a helping hand?"

Su Li instantly released a trace of his aura, pressing it down upon this mysterious person.

He needed to probe this person's background.

To know it is the Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique and still be able to come to his side unscathed.

Whether they are friend or foe remains to be seen.

However, even under the pressure of Su Li's aura, the mysterious person only swayed their body, their tone unchanged: "That depends on whether the young master trusts this one."

"Then what if I trust you?"

Su Li laughed: "Under this Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique, how can you lend me a helping hand?"

"Could it be that you can break the formation?"

"No, this one cannot break the formation."

The mysterious person said softly: "However, this one can..."

Before the words were finished.

Without seeing the mysterious person make any move, Su Li suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief!

At this moment, he suddenly felt refreshed, and the fatigue from waking up in the morning instantly vanished.

It was as if he were no longer affected by the so-called Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique.

His physical state had returned to its peak!

"The abnormality in my body has disappeared!"

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Su Li suppressed the excitement in his heart, cupped his hands and said: "Many thanks, your excellency! May I ask your name?"

"Young master is too polite."

The mysterious person did not answer this question, but shook their head slightly: "If the young master trusts this one, then let this one lend you a helping hand."

"Since your excellency has already reached out to help, I have no reason not to trust you."

Although Su Li was still a bit vigilant in his heart, not knowing this person's background, he had no other options now and could only agree.

Whether friend or foe, after spending some time in contact, he would eventually know.

"Good."

The mysterious person nodded and continued: "The Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique is a technique cast by the Earth Duke General Zhang Bao using the Earth Scroll of the Heavenly Book Taiping Essential Arts; this one cannot break it."

"However, this one can guarantee that before your strategist breaks the technique, you and your troops will maintain your physical state and not be affected by the Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique."

Speaking of this, Su Li suddenly had a question and probed: "I wonder if your excellency can also allow others in our army to maintain their physical state and not be affected by the Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique?"

This war, after all, was not his business alone.

Even if Ju Shou were to break the Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique later, Liu, Guan, Zhang, Pan Feng, and the others would likely be at the point of total exhaustion.

At that time, the Huang Jin faction would seize the opportunity to strike.

Even if he, Zhao Yu, and the Crimson Blood Cavalry remained at their peak, relying on a single unit alone would not be enough.

Su Li did not want to be the only one standing out.

It would be easy to be targeted by the enemy, leading to heavy casualties.

Unfortunately, the mysterious person shook their head: "The young master is bound to be disappointed."

"With this one's ability, I can at most ensure that you and your troops maintain your physical state; I cannot make the entire Han army unaffected by the Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique."

"I hope the young master will forgive me."

Even though the conversation had reached this point, Su Li could only cup his hands and say: "That your excellency can keep me unaffected is already a kindness; it was I who was reckless."

"No matter."

The mysterious person waved their hand and gave another reminder: "If this one guesses correctly, the Earth Duke General Zhang Bao should attack you when the Star Constellation Earth Fiend Technique is broken."

"At that time, it is estimated that only your unit will still have combat power, so please be cautious."

"That goes without saying."

Su Li nodded; he had also anticipated this kind of thing happening.

But even if he had anticipated it.

The enemy was in the dark, and they were in the light, so there was simply not much room for maneuvering.

He could only meet soldiers with soldiers and water with earth, and see what happens then.

What Su Li was more interested in now was still this mysterious person before him.

Why did they appear to help him?

This was a very important matter.

Su Li also asked this question very directly: "May I ask why your excellency wants to lend me a helping hand?"

Hearing this, the mysterious person was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "If I say that I also need the young master to do me a favor, I wonder if you would accept this answer?"

"Need my help?"

Su Li muttered to himself for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course I accept!"

"Within the four seas, all are brothers; helping and supporting each other is only right."

"Since your excellency has helped me, then I will naturally do my best to help your excellency."

"I wonder what favor your excellency needs me to do?"

"What a 'within the four seas, all are brothers'!"

The mysterious person seemed to smile: "There is no rush now; wait until you have broken through Julu City, and this one will inform you then!"

"At that time, please do not forget the promise that 'within the four seas, all are brothers, helping and supporting each other'!"

As the voice fell.

The mysterious person, who was clearly right before his eyes, actually turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished.

Leaving only Su Li, Zhao Yu, and the others standing there in astonishment.
