The moment Deng Chanyu turned around, she caught a glimpse of a dark figure flying up from Lei Zhaohai's direction out of the corner of her eye.
But the flying hammer came too fast; by the time she noticed it, it was too late to dodge. As an attack that Lei Zhaohai had been patiently preparing for, it was not something that could be easily avoided.
Fortunately, she had been paying close attention to Lei Zhaohai's furnace-slaughtering efforts, and her reaction was a step faster than Deng Chanyu's.
Almost at the same time Lei Zhaohai swung his arm, Tu Lu's throwing knife had already left his hand. With a "clang," the throwing knife bounced away, while the iron hammer continued to hurtle forward with unstoppable force.
The force of a mere throwing knife could not possibly compare to Lei Zhaohai's flying hammer. It was impossible for such a small throwing knife to intercept the flying hammer directly from mid-air.
However, even so, Tu Lu used a clever technique when throwing the knife, aiming it at the side of the iron hammer instead of a head-on collision.
It was precisely because of this that, although the throwing knife did not have an absolute blocking effect, it still managed to deflect the unstoppable flying hammer by half an inch.
But it was this tiny inch that successfully pulled Deng Chanyu back from the brink of death.
The flying hammer was originally aimed at Deng Chanyu's forehead, but due to the deflection, it struck her right shoulder squarely. The sound of bones shattering could be heard even through her armor. Deng Chanyu was sent flying from her horse, crashing heavily to the ground. Before she even fully landed, she had already spat out a mouthful of blood.
Without hesitation, Lei Zhaohai strode forward the instant the flying hammer was thrown, drawing his iron whip from his waist and rushing towards the spot where Deng Chanyu had landed, accompanied by a whistling sound.
He took two steps at a time and was already in front of her in the blink of an eye, raising his iron whip high.
Deng Chanyu fell to the ground, half of her body was numb, and she watched helplessly as the dark figure fell towards her head.
"Ding! Cheng Yaojin's Fortune General skill effect two has been activated. There is a certain chance that it will bring good luck to those in the same faction around him. When those in the same faction around the skill user are in danger, there is a high chance that he will help them overcome the crisis. The more people who are affected at the same time, the lower the probability of each person being affected."
"Ding! Huang Tianhua's hidden weapon skill effect is activated. When using hidden weapons to attack, his own martial power instantly increases by 8, base martial power is 106, equipment is increased by 2, martial god is increased by 4, divine power is increased by 10, bloodline connection is increased by 2, and current martial power increases to 132."
"clang!"
A streak of dark light flew from the side, striking the iron whip squarely in the middle with tremendous force. Lei Zhaohai's tiger's mouth trembled, and the iron whip was deflected, slamming hard into the soil beside Deng Chanyu, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Lei Zhaohai suddenly turned his head. A dozen or so feet away, a black steed was galloping towards them.
The man on horseback, clad in golden armor and a yellow robe, clutching a second heart-piercing nail in his hand, was none other than Huang Tianhua.
Deng Chanyu had just sent someone to find Xing Tian and Huang Tianhua. With such a large battlefield, it was impossible for messengers to arrive so quickly.
Even if the messenger and Huang Tianhua could fly, they couldn't possibly make a round trip in such a short time.
Huang Tianhua was able to appear here so quickly simply because he happened to catch up with Yu Da in the vicinity while chasing him, and was also affected by Cheng Yaojin's Fortune General skill. By sheer coincidence, he glanced in this direction and discovered the situation here.
Huang Tianhua immediately rode over and, at the critical moment, used a heart-piercing nail to stop the iron whip from falling.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Lei Zhaohai narrowed his eyes slightly and held the iron whip horizontally in front of him.
The two had actually clashed briefly during the previous major battle. Lei Zhaohai had to admit that this was indeed a formidable opponent.
If it were when he was young, at the peak of his abilities, he wouldn't be afraid of a mere Huang Tianhua. Even if another one came, he could still deal with him when the time came.
Unfortunately, he was now old and frail, and in terms of physical strength alone, he could not compare with the others. Huang Tianhua reined in his warhorse, glanced down at Deng Chanyu lying on the ground, and did not pay her any more attention. Naturally, other generals or soldiers took Deng Chanyu to the rear.
Huang Tianhua raised his head, his gaze falling on Lei Zhaohai. Looking down at him arrogantly, he said, "Surrender or die!"
Lei Zhaohai did not answer, but instead gripped the iron whip in his hand, giving his answer through his actions.
Huang Tianhua didn't say another word. He immediately dismounted and prepared to fight on foot.
If he were to fight on horseback, he would naturally have the advantage of his horse, but his opponent would certainly do everything in his power to harm it. Given his opponent's extensive experience, Huang Tianhua was not absolutely certain he could protect his horse.
A warhorse is a general's second life, and Huang Tianhua was unwilling to take that risk.
Furthermore, if the opponent attacks his warhorse and he fails to defend himself, and he doesn't jump off in time, the outcome will be decided in an instant, or he may even be killed by the opponent.
The moment Huang Tianhua's feet touched the ground, the bright silver hammer, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed down on Lei Zhaohai's head.
Lei Zhaohai turned to the side, crossing his two whips in a defensive stance.
"clang!"
The clang of metal clashing exploded, sparks flying everywhere. The ground beneath Lei Zhaohai's feet cracked, and he was pressed down by the immense force, his knees buckling slightly, yet he managed to withstand it. He gritted his teeth, his double whips spinning to deflect the bright silver hammer to the side, while his right whip swept horizontally, aiming straight for Huang Tianhua's waist.
Instead of retreating, Huang Tianhua advanced, retracting his gleaming silver hammer, sealing the handle, and knocking away the whip's edge before slamming it down again. This strike was faster and heavier than the previous one, carrying an unreasonable and ruthless force.
Lei Zhaohai tried again, and this time, his arm visibly trembled.
Huang Tianhua gave him no chance to breathe, hammering down one blow after another, each heavier and faster than the last. The pair of gleaming silver hammers in his hands were like two moving hills, each strike carrying the force to split mountains and shatter rocks.
Lei Zhaohai's double whips struck left and right in rapid succession, each parry incredibly powerful. His iron whips were in no way inferior to the pair of silver hammers.
"Clang... Clang clang clang!"
The two exchanged blows for countless rounds, the sound of hammers and whips clashing as dense as a torrential rain, the continuous force of their blows. But gradually, Lei Zhaohai's breathing became heavier and heavier, and beads of sweat mixed with blood streamed down his forehead, soaking through the collar of his armor.
His movements began to slow down, not because he lacked skill, experience, or strength compared to Huang Tianhua, but because he couldn't keep up with his stamina.
This is Huang Tianhua's fighting style: to exhaust his opponent's stamina to the greatest extent possible through head-on confrontation.
In particular, neither of them was at their peak when the battle began. Before they fought, they had each fought one or even several battles, during which both of them had expended a great deal of energy.
In this respect, Huang Tianhua definitely has the greater advantage.
Taking advantage of his youth, he had expended far less energy than Lei Zhaohai, and his recovery speed was also far superior to that of the aging and frail Lei Zhaohai.
As expected, it didn't take long for Lei Zhaohai's physical limitations to become apparent after adopting this head-on approach.
