Chapter 305

"Due to your talent 【Hundredfold Growth】, you have gained additional growth during this process. Proficiency in 【Grandmaster-tier Halberd Arts】 +1,000,000. Current proficiency: 1,000,000/1,000,000!"

"Congratulations! Your 【Grandmaster-tier Halberd Arts】 has leveled up to Lv. 2! Current proficiency: 0/2,000,000!"

……

"You have successfully defeated a powerful general. Proficiency in the 30-merit cultivation technique 【Tyrant Qi Art】 +1......"

"Due to your talent 【Hundredfold Growth】, you have gained additional growth during this process. Proficiency in 【Tyrant Qi Art】 +100!"

"Congratulations! Your cultivation technique 【Tyrant Qi Art】 has leveled up to Level 6!"

……

The moment Zhou Cang collapsed, rows of notifications popped up on Su Li's character panel.

He cast a glance at them.

As expected, once a skill reaches the Grandmaster tier, it becomes very difficult to improve.

Even defeating a top-tier general like Zhou Cang, who possessed a personal ultimate technique, only granted one million skill proficiency, raising his Grandmaster-tier Halberd Arts by only a small margin.

However, what surprised Su Li was that the Tyrant Qi Art, which had been dormant for so long, had finally leveled up by 1.

A force even more overbearing and disdainful instantly surged from within his body.

Even the shackles deep within his body seemed to have loosened slightly.

Looking at it this way.

Raising cultivation techniques to higher levels might also be a path to breaking those shackles.

Immediately after.

Su Li looked at Zhou Cang.

Although Zhou Cang was covered in blood, lying there like a bloody mess, and appeared to be dead.

But based on the system prompt of "defeated" rather than "killed."

Zhou Cang should not be dead yet.

After the battle, he would bring him back to White Cloud Town and attempt to recruit him.

After all, there was a Martial Prison at home, a place specifically for detaining generals.

It was just sitting there anyway.

If Zhou Cang refused to surrender, he would lock him in there to keep Guan Hai company.

The two of them could keep each other company, picking up soap or whatever when they were bored, so they wouldn't be lonely......

"Big Brother, I'm here!"

At this moment, a clear, ethereal voice suddenly came from outside.

Su Li turned his head to see Zhao Yu holding the Fire Phoenix Bright Gold Spear, leading the Red Blood Cavalry, charging over with heroic spirit.

Well, before coming, Su Li had asked Zhao Yu to lead the Red Blood Cavalry to clear out the feinting enemies outside and prevent any further surprise attacks.

He himself had rushed over to rescue Ju Shou.

Now that Zhou Cang had been defeated and the outer Yellow Turbans should have been cleared by Zhao Yu, only the tens of thousands of Huang Jin elites brought by Zhou Cang remained in the vicinity.

Therefore.

Su Li nodded at Zhao Yu: "You've come at the perfect time!"

"Immediately lead the Red Blood Cavalry with me and eliminate the Yellow Turbans before us at the fastest speed!"

With an order!

The Red Blood Cavalry, having already formed the Arrowhead formation, charged under the leadership of Su Li and Zhao Yu from two different directions, driving straight into the remaining tens of thousands of Huang Jin elites.

The Arrowhead formation's charge skill allowed the cavalry's speed to increase by an additional 50% and their damage to increase by an additional 50%.

Even though the Huang Jin elites were numerous, without Zhou Cang's leadership, how could they withstand the charge of the Red Blood Cavalry?

With every charge, at least one or two thousand Huang Jin elites died at the hands of the Red Blood Cavalry.

With every charge, an entire area of enemies was wiped out.

"You killed ten ordinary Yellow Turbans and gained 1 merit point!"

"You killed ten ordinary Yellow Turbans and gained 1 merit point!"

"You killed……"

……

"Your troops killed ten ordinary Yellow Turbans and gained 1 merit point!"

"Your troops killed ten ordinary Yellow Turbans and gained 1 merit point!"

"Your troops killed……"

……

Accompanied by the constant notifications and the ever-increasing merit points.

In less than ten minutes, the tens of thousands of Huang Jin elites were slaughtered by Su Li and Zhao Yu leading the Red Blood Cavalry, leaving not a single piece of armor intact.

Su Li looked around to see if there were any remaining enemies.

He saw a red-faced figure with a beautiful beard not far away, eyes wide open, staring intently at the lying Zhou Cang and the corpses of the tens of thousands of Huang Jin elites, lips slightly parted, looking as if he didn't know what to say.

This figure was none other than Guan Yu, who had rushed to the rear to support, hoping to help his big brother Liu Bei secure the merit of rescuing Ju Shou.

Who could have expected that after riding hard and breaking through the Huang Jin enemy lines, he would arrive at Ju Shou's camp only to find that Su Li had beaten him to it.

Guan Yu was even more shocked that in such a short time—less than half a cup of tea—Su Li had actually defeated the enemy general and led his troops to slaughter all tens of thousands of Huang Jin elites.

To have such a killing speed after having one's stamina affected by enemy sorcery was simply terrifying.

Well, Guan Yu had assumed that Su Li and the others, like them, had been affected by the Starry Earthly Fiend Art and had fallen into a weakened state.

"Brother Yunchang, what a coincidence. Are you also here to support Military Advisor Ju? Well, I'm truly sorry, you've made a wasted trip; it's already over here."

Seeing Guan Yu's shocked expression, Su Li guessed the other's intention.

To be able to make a generation's Martial Saint Guan Yu like this—this feeling was quite satisfying!

"Lord Su, your troops are truly swift as the wind, resolving tens of thousands of enemies in such a short time!!"

Originally, Guan Yu had somewhat looked down on Su Li's strength, but now he admired Su Li from the bottom of his heart.

There was no helping it; the battle record was right there.

Even as arrogant as Guan Yu was, he had to accept this reality.

"It's just a few tens of thousands of enemies, basic operation, just a basic operation! Brother Yunchang, no need to be so surprised."

Su Li waved his hand, looking smug.

"Since the Yellow Turbans who ambushed Military Advisor Ju have been wiped out, Guan shall return to the front lines to help Big Brother continue killing the enemy!"

Having said that, Guan Yu rode his warhorse away.

After Guan Yu left, Ju Shou and Pan Feng walked over.

Ju Shou did not speak, but kept looking Su Li up and down.

Pan Feng, however, as soon as he arrived, knelt on one knee and performed a heavy salute to Su Li, cupping his fists: "Many thanks to Brother Su for your timely help this time."

"If Brother Su hadn't arrived in time, Pan would likely have already become a ghost under the enemy's blade."

"This debt of saving my life, Pan will surely repay in the future."

Su Li helped Pan Feng up and smiled indifferently: "We are all comrades-in-arms, no need to be so formal."

He had saved Pan Feng only because they were in the same camp, not because he wanted any reward.

Besides, this simpleton was already serving the Jizhou Governor.

It wasn't as if he would jump ship.

"Brother Su's righteousness is unparalleled, Pan Feng admires you!"

However, his attitude made Pan Feng admire him even more, and a thought couldn't help but arise in his heart.

"General Pan, you flatter me."

After Su Li cupped his hands at Pan Feng, he looked at Ju Shou and laughed: "Why, is there a flower on my face that makes Military Advisor Ju stare at me like that?"

"That's not it."

Ju Shou was also amused and said: "Ju sees that Lord Su is full of vigor and displayed such divine might, as if you were not affected by the Starry Earthly Fiend Art at all."

Generals like Guan Yu and Pan Feng might not have noticed Su Li's state.

But a top-tier strategist like Ju Shou saw at a glance that his state had not been affected by the sorcery, nor had his stamina been greatly reduced.

This naturally aroused Ju Shou's suspicion.

After all, the Starry Earthly Fiend Art cast by Zhang Bao was something even he himself could not avoid being affected by.

"Military Advisor Ju truly has keen eyes."

"That's right, I was indeed not affected by the Starry Earthly Fiend Art."
