Chapter 2721 Cunxiao Breaks Through Enemy Encirclement, Blood-Transforming Divine Blade Emerges
"Generals, this can't go on!" Yu Hua said anxiously from the center of the battle.
At this point, Yu Hua hadn't been fighting for very long, but his power was already completely exhausted, and the bloodlust on his halberd had begun to dissipate little by little.
After all, he was only a beginner-level god-level warrior. During the battle with Zhang Guifang, Zhang Guifang's power was exhausted, so how good could his condition be?
On the battlefield, Li Cunxiao's defense was terrifying. He could only parry Jiang Hou's attacks, and even with Hou Qing, he could only block occasionally.
Aside from these two, Li Cunxiao basically ignored the attacks from the others.
Although slowed down by the remnants of the Han army behind them, Li Cunxiao led them to slowly make their way towards the outside of the canyon. Although the pace was very slow, they were indeed getting closer to the outside of the canyon little by little.
After hearing Yu Hua's shout, Hou Qing remained silent, and he was under considerable pressure.
As a high-level god-level warrior, his skill was certainly incomparable to Yu Hua's. However, he had also suffered considerable losses in the previous battle. When fighting against a powerful figure like Li Cunxiao, he was also forced to maintain the state of pushing his blood energy to its limit.
If things continue like this, it's uncertain how much longer he can hold on.
This was because he had practiced the Divine Howling Heaven Technique. Even though he had only practiced a part of it, his skill was still above that of generals of the same rank, even though he was not as good as Jiang Hou who had mastered the complete technique.
If it were any other high-level god-level warrior who had already experienced a series of battles and then faced Li Cunxiao, his situation would only be even more dire.
"Keep going, even if it's a long battle, we'll wear him down!" Jiang Hou said through gritted teeth.
However, while this canyon terrain is ideal for setting up ambushes, it also limits their ability to leverage numerical superiority.
Without prior preparation or setting up ambushes to deal with such a formidable general, the soldiers were able to wear him down through attrition. Ironically, the narrow terrain was more suitable for Li Cunxiao's super tank to perform.
Li Cunxiao lost count of how long he had been killing; he had lost count of how many times he had swung his spear, how many heads he had smashed, and how many corpses he had stepped over.
Even several high-ranking officers in the Qian army died at Li Cunxiao's hands. Captains Fan Hu and Lian Ming were treated like two ordinary Qian soldiers and had their heads smashed by Li Cunxiao with a single blow.
Yu Dehai, a general at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, only lasted one more round in Li Cunxiao's hands before being stabbed off his horse in less than three moves.
As for other ordinary generals of the Great Qian Dynasty, such as Jia Runfu, Liu Zhouchen, Zhang Zhuan, Yang He, Li Ji, and He Hui, countless others died at the hands of Li Cunxiao.
Even Jiang Hou, most of the time, had no chance to rescue them.
After all, it was often just a step or two away from these generals, a distance that seemed to be just a moment away, that Jiang Hou would still lose the opportunity to rescue them.
This is why Yu Hua only dared to sneak up when Li Cunxiao wasn't paying attention. If he rushed too far ahead, Jiang Hou might not have had the chance to rescue him in time.
Often, even just one extra step can mean the difference between life and death in reality.
As a general specializing in concealed weapons, Yu Hua was far more shrewd than others on the battlefield.
"Ding! Li Cunxiao's Fiendish skill effect five has been activated. After killing a general on the battlefield, it can have a certain impact on the morale of the enemy army. When a certain number of generals are killed, the attack power of the entire enemy army can be reduced by 1 point."
The current reduction in the overall martial prowess of the Great Qian army is 1 point. Jiang Hou's martial prowess is reduced by 1, and the remaining martial prowess of the army remains unchanged. Hou Qing's martial prowess is reduced by 1, and the Heavenly Martial God Seal is reduced by 4. The current martial prowess has decreased to...
Yu Hua…
The blood and gore on Li Cunxiao's spear mingled with the blood and bits of flesh from the enemy soldiers, congealing into a dark, deathly light, like dried scabs.
Of the hundreds of remaining soldiers who had followed behind, less than two hundred remained. Some had fallen on the road, some had failed to keep up, and some had simply collapsed and never rose again.
Fu Cunshen was still alive, being half-dragged and half-walked by two soldiers. He was covered in blood, and the original color of his armor was no longer visible, but he kept walking and urging the people in front of him to hurry up.
As for Ma Sui and Zhang Guifang, they were dragged on horseback, with several soldiers in better condition leading their warhorses and keeping a close following behind Li Cunxiao.
However, during this breakout, Ma Sui had already mobilized his strength to ease the situation somewhat, and was barely able to continue fighting. However, how much combat power he could exert was a matter of opinion.
But at least, there won't be any chance of a random minion picking up your kill.
Zhang Guifang, on the other hand, was in a terrible state, practically on the verge of death. He had already fainted, and if he fell behind, he would likely face certain death.
The Qian army's lines ahead were getting thinner and thinner. Li Cunxiao smashed a Qian army captain who was blocking his way with his spear and looked up.
The canyon exit was less than a hundred paces ahead. He could see the open space and the sunlight streaming in from the canyon mouth, illuminating the narrow exit.
The mountain walls on both sides of the exit were no longer steep, but gently opened up to the sides like outstretched arms. The Qian army's formation here had become disorganized, with only a few sparse layers of human walls remaining, as thin as paper.
"We're almost there," Li Cunxiao said, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible, but everyone behind him heard him.
Something gleamed in the eyes of those less than two hundred remaining soldiers. Some quickened their pace, some gritted their teeth and straightened their backs, some muttered a curse under their breath, and then started laughing, laughing until tears and blood mingled and flowed down their faces.
"Block it! Block the exit!" Jiang Hou shouted hoarsely.
The soldiers of the Qian army rushed desperately toward the mouth of the canyon, but the opening was too narrow. No matter how many people there were, they could not spread out. They could only stack themselves up one layer at a time, blocking the way like a wall. Li Cunxiao looked at the wall of people, urged his flaming steed, and accelerated past it.
As Yu Wang's spear swept across, the front row of people exploded like tofu being hit by a giant hammer, with limbs and broken pieces flying everywhere.
Bi Yanzhao followed closely behind, reaching in through the gap, hooking the waist of a Qian army centurion, and throwing him into the crowd behind him, knocking down a group of people.
Li Cunxiao spurred his horse and charged through the gap. The iron hooves of his flaming steed trampled over the wounded soldiers lying on the ground, and the screams and the sound of bones cracking mingled together, so piercing that it made one's scalp tingle.
Yu Hua, who was following closely behind, was filled with hatred as he watched Li Cunxiao rush out. However, there was nothing he could do about it. Even Jiang Hou could not stop Li Cunxiao's step-by-step advance, let alone him.
Or rather, Li Cunxiao didn't deliberately engage with Jiang Hou. He used one hand to parry the opponent while continuing to charge forward with the other, occasionally grabbing Qian soldiers and throwing them towards Jiang Hou, just like when they charged, thus constantly distracting Jiang Hou.
Seeing that Li Cunxiao was about to rush out, Yu Hua couldn't help but reach out and touch his waist.
"Ding, Yu Hua..."
