Chapter 786: Well-Matched

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

At this moment.

The battle between Xiao Qian and Cheng Zhiming was still ongoing.

Both sides' war drums did not stop, and the shouting did not cease.

Everyone was watching.

After all, this kind of pure duel between military generals had not appeared for many years.

The Nanyang army was shouting, because at this moment, Cheng Zhiming, who possessed innate divine strength, was indeed holding the initiative.

But the Longyan army side was shouting just the same.

Because, even though Xiao Qian was relatively thin in build, he still had not been defeated by Cheng Zhiming.

Excitement.

: rg

Shouting.

Anticipation.

Everyone wanted to see the outcome of this duel.

Cheng Zhiming was even more fired up.

At first, he thought this slightly thin-built Longyan general would likely not even be able to block a single move of his, but he did not expect that, back and forth, although the opponent had been passive the whole time, at this point, the two men's battle had actually already lasted for one hundred rounds!

Being able to encounter a well-matched opponent was not easy at all; it could even be called a fortunate event in life.

Under these circumstances, he, feeling hearty and unconstrained, only wished for the battle to last longer.

How could Xiao Qian not have the same thought?

Shock!

While shocked, Cheng Zhiming felt incomparably excited in his heart.

Such is the way of a master.

"Satisfying, come again!"

During this short-range engagement, the two sides touched and separated once more.

Cheng Zhiming laughed loudly and roared.

In the battle against Cheng Zhiming, he had been holding back.

He was waiting, waiting for this Nanyang general to bring out his true skills.

"Good!"

Therefore.

Du Liang handed the heavy responsibility of defense to Cheng Zhiming because, at this time, within this great army, no one else could shoulder this task.

It was just that he did not expect that, despite his repeated warnings and exhortations, he still had not been able to stop Cheng Zhiming's impulsive personality.

But at this time, the Nanyang army on the defensive side had already begun to feel worry.

Because everyone knew what kind of consequences would occur if Cheng Zhiming lost this battle. Du Liang was leading men to search for the Tomb Cluster, and Qiao Yuan was also following closely by Du Liang's side; under these circumstances, it was naturally unlikely for him to put more energy into the battlefield.

What were the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers compared to the Imperial Jade Seal?

The two sides' War Horses galloped toward each other again.

Dust flew, carrying the cheers of the people.

Cheng Zhiming was truly using his full strength this time; although he was relatively impulsive, he was also a person who was rough on the outside but fine on the inside. He naturally knew the current situation: his side could not afford to lose at all, and could not afford to be careless at all.

The generals on this side really wanted to persuade Cheng Zhiming to return, because the current defense relied entirely on his command and support; if he were defeated this time, then the defense of this fourth hilltop would completely collapse.

"Come!"

Xiao Qian laughed loudly.

He would not pay attention to what would happen; they just had to charge at each other.

Just as the two were about to pass each other, Cheng Zhiming roared in anger. This time, he wielded the Giant Axe with both hands, with the momentum of a thunderbolt, unstoppable.

The Giant Axe seemed capable of distorting the surrounding space.

At this moment, in reality, both sides' physical strength had already been exhausted to the limit.

Everyone was relying on willpower to hold on.

The War Horses at this time had also been stirred to a bloodthirsty state, spraying hot, steaming breath from their nostrils.

This was the level of Cheng Zhiming he wanted.

The final strike!

This was likely the final strike for the two men!

The crowd could not help but gasp.

If this axe strike landed, it was feared that even Xiao Qian and his War Horse together would not be able to withstand it.

Xiao Qian's eyes lit up at the same time.

Both masters had already exhausted all their skills.

"Bang!"

Under the anticipation of the masses, the Giant Axe finally cleaved down, with peerless momentum, beginning to invade the blade light and sword shadows created by Xiao Qian.

"Go!"

As Xiao Qian galloped, his long saber danced; at this moment, no one would hold back anymore.

The Giant Axe cleaved down with the momentum of a thunderbolt, but the long saber danced in the air; these blade lights and sword shadows had already covered the entire space above their heads.

Xiao Qian, however, was not flustered, his gaze composed and calm.

He naturally understood the might of the Giant Axe.

However, his own Thousand Shadow Blade was equally extraordinary. The long blade in his hand at this moment was swinging at a remarkably fast frequency. He could guarantee that when the Giant Axe fell, his blade tip would definitely meet the Giant Axe!

The crowd let out a collective exclamation.

With an axe strike like this, even a small hill would likely be split in two, let alone these true and false flashes of blades and shadows?

Many people began to worry for Xiao Qian.

Because no one had expected that Xiao Qian's blade tip would actually strike the exact point of impact of the Giant Axe.

The two men's weapons clashed together in this very way.

Because of the excessive force, sparks even flew out.

No sooner said than done.

The Giant Axe finally descended; amidst the exclamations, there was a clang.

Everyone's expression changed.

Cheng Zhiming had a look of pleasant surprise.

He had always been very confident in his full-force strike.

Ordinary people simply could not withstand it!

Xiao Qian was already grimacing; this Cheng Zhiming's force was truly not small.

He had combined all the strength of his body with the strength of the War Horse itself to barely withstand this blow!

The War Horse even neighed at this moment, its hooves sinking deeply into the soil.

He had not left himself any backup plan at all.

Attacking with full force!

In reality, this was a major taboo, whether in a duel or on the battlefield.

At this moment, Xiao Qian also "changed his expression," appearing as if he could no longer hold on.

Cheng Zhiming was even more delighted and exerted force again, thinking of finishing off this General Longyan in one go.

Consequently.

When he saw Cheng Zhiming attacking with full force without any defensive measures, a cunning smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Bang!"

After the weapons of both sides struck, a harsh sound followed.

But at this time, Cheng Zhiming already lacked the time and space to think.

He only wanted to knock this evenly matched opponent to the ground!

The space was cleared out just like that.

At this moment, Cheng Zhiming's force had been exhausted.

But he did not expect that Xiao Qian's force had only just begun.

He was like a spring; just after Cheng Zhiming's force was spent, and just as the War Horse beneath him was bleeding from its seven orifices and about to die.

Everyone thought that Xiao Qian would definitely not be able to hold on this time.

Unexpectedly.

Xiao Qian roared, even with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth; he still managed to withstand this blow from Cheng Zhiming, and by borrowing force to strike back, using various methods to dissipate the force, and even while the War Horse was on the verge of collapse, his body suddenly contracted, and then, his legs kicked off the War Horse.

Cheng Zhiming's expression changed drastically.

The others.

Heading straight for Cheng Zhiming's face!

He suddenly leaped up, suspended in the air in a posture that could not be explained by the rules of Physics.

The long blade pointed the way.

They were also left dumbfounded.
