Chapter 154: Grappling

"You...... This ......"

Guo Dian couldn't believe his eyes, although he was also a well-informed person, and his own strength was only one step away from those big heroes in the world, but this did not mean that he could accept the scene he witnessed with his own eyes right now.

Just a few manpower, but it shook the heavens?

Guo Dian was dumbfounded.

You must know that in today's world, when Buddhism has not yet been introduced to the Han Dynasty, although Taoism is in decline, it still has an unshakable position in the hearts of the world. In Taoist mythology, 'heaven' is the supreme being, and in the eyes of the world, the sky is like a direct embodiment of the face of heaven: if the sky is quiet, then the wind and rain are smooth, and everything is safe; If the sky is angry, the thunderstorm will pour down, as if the world will be destroyed.

Even ordinary people know that lightning and thunder are the expression of God's anger.

And now, there is a little ghost who came out of nowhere, a little ghost who has not dried up, and he actually said wildly, "If I am here, the sky will be clear", such a rebellious and supreme word, it is undeniable that Guo Dian was shocked.

[Impossible...... How can manpower turn the tide of the world? ]

Guo Dian repeatedly denied what he had seen in his heart.

"You...... Don't try to fool me! ”

"Huh?" It seemed that he didn't expect Guo Dian to have such a reaction, and Zhang Huang was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Guo Dian seemed to understand something, and said in a deep voice with a relieved tone, "Sure enough...... You just calculated that the sunrise was at this moment today, and you actually wanted to deceive Guo and make Guo feel confused, yes or no? ”

Faced with Guo Dian's self-brain-filled explanation, Zhang Huang was speechless for a moment, but just looked at Guo Dian with some amusement.

Zhang Huang's smile made Guo Dian very displeased, he frowned, and shouted in a deep voice, "Do you still want to deny it?" …… Cease! If you can really manipulate the power of the heavens, you might as well use your skills. Let Guo see it with his own eyes! ”

This sentence immediately struck Zhang Huang's heart depressed, because only Zhang Huang knew best that the demon soul Yiwu who was lodged in his body was counterattacked because of the relationship between his advance power a while ago, although his deceased father-in-law Zhang Xie had suppressed the runaway Yiwu for him earlier, but the original powerful power from Yiwu had disappeared.

In this regard, Zhang Liang told Zhang Huang that the original power of the Yiwu he originally possessed had been stimulated by the previous owner Tang Zhou, so when he was in Luoyang last year. He, Zhang Huang, was able to use a part of Yiwu's power when he had just gotten Yiwu, which was about one-tenth of Cheng DΓΉ. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Huang will be counterattacked after Zhang Zhen excessively stimulates the original power of Yiwu, because Yiwu at that time, although it is said that it belongs to Zhang Huang and has become Zhang Huang's parasitic soul, but its compatibility with Zhang Huang is still too weak, after all, this Yiwu can be understood as Zhang Huang took it from Tang Zhou. Even if he has stimulated some of the original power, it does not belong to him.

And after the incident in Julu Ze Phantom Sky Mountain, Zhang Huang's stepfather Zhang Xie used the Xuanmen Dao method to directly beat the Yiwu catalyzed and grown by Tang Zhou back to its original form in order to let his righteous son better control Yiwu. The advantage of this is that when Yiwu grows up again, Zhang Huang will no longer be constrained and painful by backlash.

But on the other hand, there is also an embarrassing problem in this way, that is, the original power of Yiwu today. It was not enough to help Zhang Huang too much, even if it was to manipulate the flames, it was reluctant, let alone make three suns appear directly in the sky as strong as Zhang Huang when he fought against Tang Zhou.

Plainly. The current Yiwu is like a young bird that has just come out of an eggshell.

But then again, even if it has been beaten back to its original form, it still instinctively has a dumbfounded ability, and that is the ability to make the sky clear. Just as people are born with a natural ability to breathe, Yiwu was born with this incredible talent.

Speaking of which, the embarrassment comes, although Yiwu's talent can be understood as directly changing the celestial phenomena, but in the final analysis, it can only make the sky clear within a certain range of the surroundings, whether it is a torrential rain or lightning and thunder, as long as Zhang Huang releases the Yiwu in his body, then the sky will immediately clear. But the problem is that this talent for directly changing the celestial phenomena is irreversible, and in layman's terms, Yiwu's ability can instantly change all kinds of weather into sunny days, but it can't make sunny days change to other weather.

This made Zhang Huang speechless immediately after hearing Guo Dian's words, because he couldn't make the already clear sky clear again, it didn't make any difference at all.

At the moment, he is just an artificial sun trigger, although he can summon the appearance of the sun anytime and anywhere, but when it comes to lethality, it is simply minimal. This is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Huang felt that he could not take Guo Dian, so he wanted to play some small tricks to repel Guo Dian and the army under his command. Otherwise, with Zhang Huang's powerful strength that could almost match Tang Zhou's at that time, dealing with a quasi-heroic Guo Dian would be a simple trick.

"Hahaha, it really can't be done, right?" After mocking Zhang Huang, Guo Dian's heart finally settled.

"......" Zhang Huang looked at Guo Dian a little dumbfounded, and did not explain again after all. First, Guo Dian has made a subjective judgment, even if he Zhang Huang says more, people will not believe it; Second, what good is it for him Zhang Huang to convince Guo Dian to believe this kind of thing? Although Yiwu only has the only innate ability left at the moment, which is to summon the sun, this ability is the best move if it is used on the battlefield to yin people.

Just like this time, let Guo Dian make a lot of calculations, and deliberately chose a cloudy day to attack Pingxiang County, but as long as Zhang Huang summoned Yiwu, he could instantly make Guo Dian dumbfounded, and directly let the Yellow Turban Army increase its chances of victory.

Thinking about it again, I don't know how many people can die with this talent of Yiwu, why did he announce it to the public early now, so that those future opponents, or potential opponents, would know about it in advance?

Thinking of this, Zhang Huang suddenly changed his complexion and deliberately pretended to be surprised, as if his plan had been seen through by Guo Dian.

Sure enough, Zhang Huang's reaction made Guo Dian very satisfied, but this does not mean that Guo Dian will let Zhang Huang go. After all, at this moment, Zhang Huang's newly recruited number one team, Guo Tai, the commander of the Baibo and Yellow Turban Daqu on the side of the earthquake in the future, is desperately leading troops to attack Guo Dianjun's main formation, which means that if Guo Dian can't rush back in time, and the people and horses he left in the formation can't stop Guo Tai, let Guo Tai seize the handsome banner of Guo Dian's Julu Taishou. Then, Guo Dian will certainly lose face this time, not to mention for the time being, most of them will have to suffer a defeat.

Eating a defeat when the Yellow Turban Army is rising fiercely is now simply fueling the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Army, it is conceivable that if Guo Dian eats this defeat, the entire Julu County will be so passive in the face of the Yellow Turban Army, and even this situation will affect the entire Jizhou and even the whole world.

Of course, Guo Dian didn't have the slightest chance to turn the tide, no, he was already at this critical moment. Found a key to turning the tide of victory and defeat.

That's Zhang Huang!

With Zhang Huang's position as the commander of the Yellow Turban Army when he was in the main formation, Guo Dian could guess that even a fool could guess that this son must be a rookie of the Yellow Turban Army promoted by the rebellious Zhang brothers and others, and even this rookie will gradually grow into the Yellow Turban Army's Xiaoqu Shuai or even Qu Shuai in the future, does this mean that if he Guo Dian can capture or kill Zhang Huang in time, he will be able to reverse the unfavorable situation of this battle?

Thinking of this, Guo Dian no longer quarreled with Zhang Huang, and rushed towards Zhang Huang with a fine iron spear in his hand.

I have to say that Zhang Huang really lacks experience in dealing with this kind of opponent with a martial soul. Although he used the spear in his hand to block Guo Dian's attack in time, he ignored the hazy beast around Guo Tai. I saw that when Guo Tai and Zhang Huang were inseparable, I suddenly saw that the strange beast [barge] actually raised the right claw of the grinding plate, and slapped it towards Zhang Huang's head like thunder.

[What?!] ]

When Zhang Huang realized that his situation was not good. The huge claws of the alien beast had already covered him in the air, and in this case, with Zhang Huang's second-rate and third-rate riding skills, he could not rein in his horse in time to dodge, the only thing he could do. It was by instinct that he subconsciously jumped sideways off the horse. Then, after rolling on the ground a few times, he watched in amazement as his crotched horse was split into five pieces by the claws of Guo Dian's martial soul beast.

Flesh and blood were splashed, and a horse was still alive. At this moment, it was chopped alive, and even the hard bones were broken, as if the solid horse bones could not resist the sharp claws of the alien beast, and there was obviously no physical phantom.

"Hiss......"

Zhang Huang was also terrified when he saw this scene, because if he was only a moment slower, then it was not only the horse that was split into five pieces now, but also him.

And what Zhang Huang couldn't understand was that the alien beast was obviously just a mist like a cloud of existence, which could not be seen and touched, but why could it split a flesh-and-blood living war horse into five pieces?

Can an imaginary body hurt an entity?

Could it be that this is the terrible thing about martial spirits?

Zhang Huang, who didn't know anything about this, couldn't explain what he saw with his eyes, and at this moment, he finally realized why Sun Jian once said that a martial artist who mastered the martial soul was extremely terrifying and difficult to defeat.

Look at the strange beast in front of him covered with Guo Dian [barge], its minions are even sharper than the divine soldier Wu Hook that has been given to Chen Zhi now, and the Yellow Turban sergeants who were caught by it were either disemboweled or split into several pieces one by one, as if the flesh and blood of a human being was more fragile by dead leaves, and could not withstand the power of its claws.

On the other hand, if there were some brave Yellow Turban soldiers who were not afraid of death who wanted to attack Guo Dian, the weapons in their hands, although they were not sophisticated, but they were by no means shoddy, could not cut through the seemingly hazy and ethereal body of the strange beast, only to hear the sound of clanging metal strikes, and all the weapons attacking Guo Dian were all bounced off.

This kind of unbelievable thing, Zhang Huang has only seen in a martial artist who has exerted a rigid body.

What does this mean?

This means that after Guo Dian summoned the martial soul in his body, he also greatly strengthened his personal ability to both attack and defend.

What is terrifying is not that the beast can help Guo Dian attack the opponent, but what is terrifying is that it can also serve as a barrier for the master to defend against external attacks.

In the true sense, it is both offensive and defensive, offensive and omnipotent; Guard, indestructible.

[This is the martial soul of the martial arts?] ]

Zhang Huang was a little stunned, it was undeniable that he had perhaps one of the strongest demon souls in the world, but in terms of effective and reasonable use of demon souls, he was really too inferior to Guo Dian. He didn't even know some of the tricks or techniques that were commonplace among the warriors.

"Bell β€”β€”!"

The iron spear in Guo Dian's hand smashed into Zhang Huang's spear again, smashing to the ground, Zhang Huang used up his strength to feed, and he could only resist it on his shoulder. And at this time, the strange beast that frightened and frightened Zhang Huang [refute], it once again raised its huge claws high and grabbed Zhang Huang's head fiercely.

"Bell β€”β€”!"

There was a loud bang. Zhang Huang, who used his rigid body in time, was hit by Guo Dian's double blows and slid backwards a full number of feet away before he could barely gain a foothold.

Although the survival of the stunt of the rigid body allowed Zhang Huang to avoid the miserable end of his body being shattered, the powerful and fierce claws of the alien beast [barge] still smashed his eyes to the ground, as if he had been beaten with a dull stick for no reason. Even the internal organs were shaken and displaced.

Yes, although the rigid body can withstand most of the physical contact, it cannot resist the impact, which is why the collapse force can ignore the rigid body and directly kill the person despite the rigid body. I believe that if you follow this a few more times, I'm afraid that Guo Dian doesn't have to spend any effort to kill Zhang Huang with any spear through the spiral marksmanship, and the strong impact force of the alien beast [barge] smashing on Zhang Huang's rigid body with huge force is enough to make Zhang Huang bleed and die with a whimper.

At this time, hide your secrets. It was really a self-defeating way, Zhang Huang, who was almost cornered by Guo Dian, did not dare to fight with the former in close combat, and discarded the iron gun that had been bent by Guo Dian with a spear, and his right hand took out a stack of blank Dao talismans from the bag on his waist, and threw it towards Guo Dian without looking. Although Yiwu has been beaten back to its original form, as the supreme existence of yang fire, its affinity for fire is still incomparable, which allows Zhang Huang to continue the incredible behavior of throwing blank Dao talisman to replace the fire talisman before.

"Boom β€”β€”!"

More than a dozen blank Dao runes instantly turned into more than a dozen huge fireballs under Zhang Huang's thoughts, and smashed towards Guo Dian quickly. Although Guo Dian saw it with his own eyes. But because of the incredible speed of the fireball, he didn't have time to dodge at all, and he was still hit, at best, he only subconsciously raised his hands to block his face.

"Hex ......"

"That Yellow Turban Thief knows sorcery!"

When a dozen fireballs turned into flowing flames and sputtered in all directions. The surrounding soldiers of Guo Dianjun's faces were like earth, and they looked at Zhang Huang in horror and retreated. It's no wonder, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Dao is the same as the martial soul of a martial artist. They are also the power of right and inhuman nature.

The noise from Guo Dian's soldiers did not distract Zhang Huang, because of his whole mind. It's all on Guo Dian, the man who was swallowed by the sea of fire at this time.

"More than a dozen fire spells, it shouldn't be unscathed......" Zhang Huang, who was a little frightened by Guo Dian, muttered to himself.

Finally, a galloping figure jumped out of the galloping fire, only to hear a horse barking, Guo Tailian led the horse out of the fire, looking at Zhang Huang with a strange expression.

I saw that at this time, except for the fact that his face, arms and other parts were stained with some fire ashes, and the armor on his body was also burned a little, he couldn't see any injuries.

[How is that possible?!] ]

Zhang Huang couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, you must know that as far as he knows, the rigid body of the martial artist is simply unable to resist the attack of the Dao Law, no matter how strong the rigid body is, a fire talisman can still make it hurt, and the reason why Zhang Huang threw out more than a dozen in a row was just because he was frightened by Guo Dian's martial spirit, and subconsciously felt that if it was just a few fire talismans, I was afraid that it would not be able to destroy this monster like a shadow.

Facts have proved that Zhang Huang's intuition is accurate, although he has eaten more than a dozen fire talismans, but Guo Dian is really unharmed except for his appearance of a little wolf, which makes Zhang Huang, who found this qiΔ“, can't help but cry out in his heart.

"You...... Can you do sorcery? ”

To Zhang Huang's surprise, after Guo Dian broke away from the sea of fire, he did not approach Zhang Huang again for the first time, but looked at Zhang Huang with strange eyes. Vaguely, there seemed to be a bit of jealousy in his eyes.

[It doesn't seem to be without effect!] ]

Zhang Huang, who instantly caught the jealous look in Guo Dian's eyes, couldn't help but feel a little confident in his heart, he originally thought that the existence of the martial soul was even bleak, but at this moment, he found that the Dao method was not ineffective on the shadow-like martial soul, but the damage was weakened a lot.

No, Fang Cai's clear and transparent martial soul like a living thing [refute], at this time, it was almost collapsed by Zhang Huang's connection to the ground with more than a dozen fire talismans, and several parts had completely turned into the original gray mist, which made Zhang Huang's spirit greatly lifted.

As long as there is an effect, then it is easy to say, even if the power of the Dao is attenuated a lot!

Zhang Huang, who had made up his mind to fight Guo Dian to death, quietly pinched a stack of blank Dao talismans in his hand. Because he noticed that the strange beast whose body was almost crushed by the fire curse [barge] gradually coalesced again after a moment of pause. Of course, this did not mean that Zhang Huang would back down, after all, as long as it had an effect, he would continue to use the fire spell to smash the shadow of the alien beast away. He didn't believe that Guo Dian would not pay the slightest price during the period when the alien beast was recondensed and formed, after all, Zhang Huang had noticed earlier that the tail of the alien beast [barge] was attached to the gray mist around Guo Dian's body. In Zhang Huang's view, this obviously meant that Guo Dian had to continue to consume his own qi in order to continue that terrifying and fierce martial spirit.

And as we all know, once the warrior's qi is exhausted. Even if he didn't die immediately, his combat ability at that time was probably not as good as that of an ordinary soldier.

Zhang Huang guessed right, it is true that the phantom body of the martial soul is the most powerful trick of the martial artist, but maintaining this state consumes a lot of Guo Dian's qi, not to mention that his martial soul [refute] In order to protect his master, he resisted more than a dozen fire spells from Zhang Huang, and was almost directly defeated, which made Guo Dian have to consume a lot of additional qi to make up for it. It is no exaggeration to say that Guo Dian at this time is really a bit embarrassed to ride a tiger, although it is said that with the preservation of martial spirits. He could indeed completely suppress Zhang Huang at close range, but he didn't expect that Zhang Huang would still have the ability to consume remotely.

[Guo's old face, isn't it going to be lost here?] ]

Seeing Zhang Huang, who was far away from him, he looked like he couldn't avoid and was afraid of three points. Guo Dian didn't have to think about it to understand that since Zhang Huang knew demon arts, he would never give up this fighting method of consuming his qi at a long distance, or he Guo Dian would withdraw his martial soul and continue to fight with Zhang Huang, otherwise, I am afraid that it would really be possible to be dragged by Zhang Huang to the point of exhausting his qi.

It's more embarrassing. If there was no coordinated suppression of the martial soul [refutation], Guo Dian might not be able to suppress Zhang Huang in close range, after all, Zhang Huang's self-created curved steps could be regarded as a stunt.

Just when Guo Dian was in a dilemma. Suddenly, he heard the wails of his own soldiers on the battlefield, and he turned his head to look, only to notice that the Yellow Turban General Guo Tai had taken advantage of his entanglement with Zhang Huang to cut down his [Julu Taishou Guo] banner.

In this era, Shuai Qi is the soul of an army, and there are almost no troops that can fight hard after their Shuai Qi is captured by the enemy, not to mention that Guo Dian is fighting against the Yellow Turban Army in the sun at this time, maybe they don't want to continue this restrained battle in their hearts. Maybe Guo Tai obtained their handsome flag, which can be regarded as a relief for them.

"Hoo ......"

Seeing his own soldiers who had fled backwards one after another, Guo Dian sighed lightly and withdrew his martial soul, only to see that the strange beast turned into a cloud of mist with a thud, slowly merging into his body.

He didn't mean to blame those soldiers, because maybe Guo Tai's capture of the flag could be regarded as a relief and an explanation for him Guo Dian. Otherwise, he would have to stay here and continue to entangle with Zhang Huang.

"You...... Get your name in! ”

Pointing to Zhang Huang in the distance, Guo Dian shouted in a deep voice. His voice was still loud, so that Zhang Huang didn't dare to take the opportunity to make any mistakes.

"Zhang Sheng! Foreman Zhang, Ri Chengsheng! Zhang Huang reported his pseudonym when he was preparing to join the Yellow Turban Army.

"Zhang Sheng......" Guo Dian muttered, then glared at Zhang Huang fiercely, squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Next time, you won't be so lucky, boy!" ”

With that, Guo Dian turned around and left. Some Yellow Turban sergeants nearby saw that their side had won the battle, and wanted to go forward to see if they could leave Guo Dian, the chief general of the enemy army, but they were stared at by Guo Dian's even more terrifying eyes than tigers and leopards halfway, and they didn't dare to catch up again.

With his personal terrifying strength, Guo Dian led the defeated army to retreat in an orderly manner. His retreat was quite orderly, so that Guo Tai, who was thinking of taking advantage of the victory to pursue, did not dare to advance, hesitated for a while or rode his horse to Zhang Huang's side, dismounted and asked, "Little Heavenly Master...... Just let them go? ”

"Let them go...... Order to collect troops! Zhang Huang raised his head and glanced at Guo Dian's back as he straddled his horse and left, and smiled bitterly.

If he could, he certainly wanted to leave Guo Dian behind, but the problem was that Guo Dian just retreated because he couldn't win steadily, and he really fought for his life, and to be honest, Zhang Huang was not sure.

Thinking like this, it is not an unacceptable thing to force Guo Dian away, at least they can be regarded as winning this battle, and if they operate it well, it is enough to make the nearby local government tremble.

"This ......" Guo Tai was still a little hesitant, after all, he also knew that letting Guo Dian go was tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain. But if you want to catch up, Guo Tai himself is not sure, after all, the reason why he was able to seize Guo Dian's handsome banner this time was due to Zhang Huang's strategy, not to mention, it was all up to Zhang Huang to drag Guo Dian, otherwise if Guo Tai faced Guo Dian, he would be killed by the latter in a few moves.

As if noticing Guo Tai's unwilling expression, Zhang Huang patted him on the shoulder kindly, and said with a smile, "What are you doing with a bitter face?" We've won the battle anyway! …… As for that tiger, as long as we improve our strength, we will eventually capture and kill it one day! Let's go, go back to town! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Promise! After hesitating for a moment, Guo Tai nodded heavily.
