Chapter 153: Design

"Bell, bell, bellβ€”"

"Qiangβ€”"

In just a few face-to-face efforts, Guo Dian had already fought a few moves with Zhang Huang, thinking that it was a matter of nine out of ten, but he didn't expect that Zhang Huang's force would exceed his expectations, only one line away from him.

"Good skills!"

When Zhang Huang once again avoided the spear he swung out by a fraction of a second, even Guo Dian couldn't help but praise him.

Taking advantage of the gap between the two sides to retreat from each other and take a few breaths, Zhang Huang replied without changing his face, "Accept and concede." …… Lord Guo's bravery, I believe that it will shame many martial artists in the world. ”

It's not, it's clear that Guo Dian is in a civilian position, but his martial arts are even better than Cheng Pu, although Zhang Huang has been prepared before, he was also taken aback by Guo Dian's skills.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm afraid there will be more than ninety ...... this force," Zhang Huang muttered, and couldn't help but secretly feel regret and regret that Guo Dian had not been able to leave much fame in history.

"Ninety?" Guo Dian, who was not far away, seemed to hear Zhang Huang's muttering, and his face showed a little doubt.

"Nothing." Zhang Huang smiled faintly and did not solve Guo Dian's doubts. However, in his heart, he once set Sun Jian's strength at ninety-nine, and used it as a standard to measure, after all, Sun Jian was the most terrifying individual martial artist in Zhang Huang's impression of the late Han Dynasty in the Middle East.

Of course, this is only a preliminary estimate, after all, Zhang Huang has not seen peerless heroes like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others who were set as ninety-nine in a game in later generations, but in today's world, Sun Jian's force is temporarily used as a standard to measure the strength of other martial artists.

In this case, Zhang Huang secretly gave Guo Dian a score of 90 points. You must know that the evaluation of his own force has not even exceeded the eighty level.

The reason is very simple, because Guo Dian is both arm strength and speed, as well as reaction and aura. Almost all of them are much stronger than Zhang Huang, even in Zhang Huang's greatest advantage speed, they are almost the same, which makes Zhang Huang a little shaken in his plan to kill this Julu Taishou.

Of course, this kind of force standard set by Zhang Huang does not include martial souls, after all, the particularity of martial souls is destined to be not measured by numerical values. Moreover, Guo Dian in front of him did not show any non-human strength, he just used ordinary moves to fight Zhang Huang for a few moves.

"...... like this" Seeing that Zhang Huang didn't explain in detail, Guo Dian didn't care. He smiled lightly and looked Zhang Huang up and down a few times. Regarding Zhang Huang's ability to have such strength before he reached the age of the weak crown, Guo Dian was very common sense in his heart, so he couldn't help but persuade, "Little baby, it is really rare for you to have this strength at a young age." …… With this strength, why not contribute to the country and be willing to be in the company of rebellion? Guo is not talented, and he is ashamed of his position as a deer. If Xiaoyou is willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light, Guo can be your sponsor and recommend it to the imperial court...... Wouldn't it be better to get stuck in the mud? ”

It seemed that he didn't expect Guo Dian to say that he would surrender himself on the battlefield, Zhang Huang was slightly stunned. When he came back to his senses, he shook his head with a smile. If it hadn't happened that Fifth Gongyuan had killed his father-in-law Zhang Jie, Zhang Huang would have been willing to establish a merit in the Han Dynasty, after all, this is what many aspiring young people in the world want. But unfortunately, if he Zhang Huang insists on killing the fifth palace yuan in the future, he will avenge his father-in-law Zhang Jie. Then it is bound to turn against the Han court, unless the court is willing to sacrifice the fifth palace yuan to resolve this grievance.

But the problem is that the fifth palace Yuan is the protector of the Han Dynasty. You don't have to think about it, you know that the imperial court will never sacrifice that strong man with the power of a half-immortal because of his small Zhang Huang.

"Lord Guo's kindness, Zhang...... I got it. Shaking his head, Zhang Huang replied very categorically. He knew very well that because of the existence of the Fifth Gong Yuan, he would only be on the opposite side of the Han court, which was precisely why he was willing to join the Yellow Turban Army.

"Really?" The smile on Guo Dian's face slowly retracted, looked at Zhang Huang and said with a little coldness, "Since you insist on being with the rebellious, then Guo has no choice but to ......" He didn't continue, but his meaning was already clear.

"Whew-"

A cold wind blew across Zhang Huang's face without warning, and he subconsciously held his breath, because he instantly felt that the pressure brought to him by Guo Dian had not only increased.

Zhang Huang didn't move, he instinctively felt that something fearful was about to come out.

However, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army around them did not notice the dead silence before the storm, and when they saw that Guo Dian was motionless, they actually came up with the idea of taking the opportunity to sneak attack the latter.

"Kill!"

"This person is a general of the official army......"

"Kill this man!"

The Yellow Turban soldiers swarmed towards Guo Dian.

Seeing this, Zhang Huang's eyelids jumped, and he secretly screamed that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted, "Stop...... All stand back! ”

Before the words fell, he suddenly saw a looming gray mist slowly filling Guo Dian's body, and in this mist, a four-hoofed beast suddenly broke through the fog layer and rushed out, and when the four hooves landed on the ground, the claws of the right front hoof slammed several yellow turban soldiers, and immediately trampled on them.

In an instant, all the Yellow Turban soldiers in the vicinity stopped their charge, and looked at the fierce beast that appeared without warning, more than two or three feet high.

"Roaring β€”β€”!"

The strange beast let out a sharp roar at the Yellow Turban sergeants around him, causing the Yellow Turban sergeants, who had the intention of taking the opportunity to sneak attack Guo Dian, retreated again and again. They couldn't understand why Guo Dian was obviously a human, but there was an illusory shadow of a fierce beast on his body. Moreover, the powerful oppressive force from that ferocious beast made this group of people tremble, and their hands and feet were also cold.

"This ...... This ......"

"Monster ......"

"Official...... The official's general can actually control the monster......"

The nearby Yellow Turban sergeants shouted in shock.

Zhang Huang guessed correctly, although this group of Yellow Turban soldiers is a group of religious soldiers with a firm belief in Taiping Dao, but they have not undergone systematic soldier training, in essence, they are just a group of ordinary people with weapons, not to mention what knowledge they can have, and even, in terms of dealing with emergencies, they are not as good as trained soldiers at all.

It's not. Guo Dian only slightly revealed the martial soul in his body, and these people were frightened. But it's no wonder, after all, martial souls are extremely rare and rare goods for most people in the world, even if it's Zhang Huang, didn't he know anything about it in the early years.

But at the moment, Zhang Huang doesn't care much about this, after all, in the past two years of travel, he has seen a lot of unreasonable inhuman powers, not to mention, there is also an extremely powerful demon soul in his body. In a sense, there is not much difference between the demon soul and the martial soul of a martial artist. It's just called differently.

Don't be afraid, but Zhang Huang is still very curious about Guo Dian's martial soul, after all, according to Sun Jian's once revealed, martial arts souls are generally unique and rarely repeated, which makes Zhang Huang very curious about what Guo Dian's martial soul is, and what kind of special inhuman power it has.

With his eyes wide open, Zhang Huang stared intently at the illusory shadow of the powerful beast that shrouded Guo Dian. He found that this strange beast was a bit like the legendary unicorn, but after careful observation, he noticed that the strange beast opposite only had a single horn, not to mention the unicorn known as the Rui Beast. (The legendary unicorn is not just one.) Rather, there is a herd, whose main features are the belly of the horse, the forebody of the deer, the claws of the tiger, and, most importantly, the two horns on the head. Those with two horns can be called unicorns, and those with only one horns are not counted, which is the concept of pseudo-unicorns. οΌ‰

And this strange beast. It is also a horse with a deer body and tiger claws, but it seems that there is only a single horn growing outward in the center of the skull, and the mane from the back of the head to the neck is white at the top and brown at the bottom. It has tiger-like claws and sharp teeth, only the black tail like a horsetail behind the buttocks is slightly blurred, and it seems to be faintly connected to the gray mist around Guo Dian's body.

Overall, this is a strange beast that makes people feel more feared than tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts.

Its roar was low and terrifying, and when it roared, it was vaguely possible to hear the sound of drums, and when it heard its roar, the morale of the county soldiers under Guo Dian was greatly boosted, as if infinite courage and strength were inexplicably pouring out from the bottom of their hearts, but the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army felt trembling in that roar, as if facing fear.

"Incredible...... Zhang Huang muttered.

He originally thought that the martial soul of a martial artist was just an illusory shadow and could not directly cause harm to others, but the fact that the alien beast directly trampled and trampled to death several Yellow Turban soldiers with heavy hooves with tiger claws made Zhang Huang have to change his understanding of it.

"......" seemed to hear Zhang Huang's muttering, and Guo Dian looked at Zhang Huang with some surprise. He found that at this time, when all the Yellow Turban soldiers in the vicinity were terrified because of his martial spirit, Zhang Huang's face was full of curiosity and exploration, and he didn't seem to be frightened by this inhuman force at all.

"You...... Fearless? Guo Dian asked in surprise, after all, in his opinion, anyone would be frightened by this fierce beast that suddenly appeared.

"Fear?" Guo Dian's doubts brought Zhang Huang back to his senses, he realized that he was on the battlefield right now, and he smiled faintly, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is that?" ”

"......" Guo Dian glanced at Zhang Huang deeply, and did not hide it, glanced at the strange beast with which he was connected, and replied with a little pride and pride, "The strange beast [refute], feeding on tigers and leopards, can resist the ...... soldiers"

[Strange beast demon spirits that feed on tigers and leopards...... Obediently, no wonder this Guo Dian can bind the tiger with his bare hands. ]

Guo Dian's answer made Zhang Huang suddenly realize, and he was very curious about Guo Dian's words in the second half of the sentence "You can be a soldier". However, after comparing the battle situation between the county army and the Yellow Turban Army since the appearance of this strange beast, he has somewhat understood: some strange beasts may also have a special effect on the battlefield to deter or motivate the morale of soldiers on both sides of the enemy, just like the halo effect in some games in later generations.

[There are many divine beasts that can 'resist soldiers', such as the White Tiger, Zhu Yan, Raccoon Spirit, and Jairus, only the alien beasts that are respected as the martial gods of the battlefield and worshiped by the world will have this talent, which can be understood as 'they' are the guardian beasts of the soldiers. In addition, demon souls that are not necessarily powerful have this talent, such as Yiwu, which does not have it, it can only change the celestial phenomena. 】

"Descend or die...... Boy, this is your last chance! ”

The spear pointed at Zhang Huang, and Guo Dian snorted coldly with an expressionless face. Although he admires Zhang Huang's potential, it does not mean that he looks at Zhang Huang differently who will be willing to be with the Yellow Turban. On the contrary, if Zhang Huang still insists on being with the Yellow Turban, then. Guo Dian will inevitably take the lead in getting rid of Zhang Huang, after all, in Guo Dian's opinion, a young man with unlimited potential like Zhang Huang may be quite terrifying once he grows up.

At the same time that Guo Dian questioned Zhang Huang sharply, the strange beast [refute] also stared at Zhang Huang with its huge eyes like copper bells, and a mouthful of sharp tiger teeth was revealed in its slightly open mouth, as if Zhang Huang would immediately pounce and bite Zhang Huang to death as long as he had the courage to refuse Guo Dian's final surrender.

I have to say that it seems to be a strange beast [refute] such a distant existence with the talent of the imperial soldier. It is really blessed on the battlefield, and the pressure alone makes the cold sweat on Zhang Huang's head flow uncontrollably.

[What a strong oppressive force...... The oppressive power of this strange beast on the battlefield is really terrifying, is this also a 'home field advantage'? ]

Secretly joking in his heart, Zhang Huang took a deep breath and looked at Guo Dian with a slight smile.

"Even if you kill Zhang, you can't change the situation of Lord Guo's defeat......"

"What?" Guo Dian looked at Zhang Huang with strange eyes, but saw Zhang Huang raise his hand and pointed behind him with a smile.

Guo Dian turned his head suspiciously. Suddenly, the calm expression on his face was suddenly replaced by shock, because he saw the yellow turban young general named Guo Tai. Obviously, Fang was still entangled with a county lieutenant named Qi Yi under his command Guo Dian, but at this time, this guy actually led the crowd to kill the main formation of his army, and the target was obviously the handsome flag that represented his Guo Dian Julu Taishou banner.

It's obvious. The yellow turban young player Guo Taifang deliberately retained his strength, so Qi Yi had room to entangle with him.

[This kid is trying to lure me out?] ]

Guo Dian looked at Zhang Huang angrily, he already realized that he had been tricked.

He guessed right. This is exactly what Zhang Huang is planning to win this battle. Although it is said that whether it is to defeat Guo Dian or capture the handsome banner of Guo Dian's army, it is a victory for the Yellow Turban side, but the problem is that it is really difficult to defeat a hero like Guo Dian, taking Guo Dian, who has now shown his instinctive strength, Zhang Huang is not very sure to kill him. In this way, the only way to win the defeat of Guo Dian's army is to seize the opponent's handsome banner.

And the reason why Guo Tai was given the responsibility of capturing the enemy's marshal banner instead of Zhang Huang himself was because although Guo Tai's strength was good, it was still much worse than Guo Dian, and Zhang Huang didn't want his newly recruited team to die in the first battle.

By the way, if Bian Xi, Lang and Ping were willing to obey, Zhang Huang's chances of victory would be greater, at least it would not be a problem to force out Guo Dian, but it was a pity that Bian Xi's gang wished that Zhang Huang would die on the battlefield, so that Zhang Liang could retake the position of Jizhou Yellow Turban. So, Zhang Huang had no choice but to take risks in person and use himself to lure Guo Dian to come forward, and it turned out that he succeeded.

"Interesting......" Guo Dian looked at Zhang Huang with a little anger in his eyes, because he found that he had been on the battlefield for a long time and was actually tricked by a junior like Zhang Huang, but his self-discipline as a famous general made him suppress the anger in his heart, and said with a sneer, "That's it, you think you have the chance to win?" ”

After all, Qi Yi and Zhao Fang are the two most capable county captains under his command, but now one was defeated by Guo Tai, the other was killed by Zhang Huang, and the rest of the people in the formation, Guo Dian didn't think they could stop Guo Tai's young and powerful Yellow Turban general. Therefore, he was eager to rush back in time, after all, if the banner of his Julu Taishou Guo Dian fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the Julu County Army against the Yellow Turban Army or his Guo Dian's personal reputation.

But just as Guo Dian turned around, a scorching wave of air blew behind him, which was vaguely accompanied by Zhang Huang's chuckle.

"I want to leave now, don't you think it's too late?"

As if he had a premonition of something, Guo Dian, who was in doubt, subconsciously turned his head and was shocked to see that Zhang Huang's body was covered with a thin layer of red gold mixed flames at some point.

"At this time......" Guo Dian narrowed his eyes, after seeing that such an abnormality appeared on Zhang Huang's body, the fool also knew that Zhang Huang must also be carrying a strange beast demon soul.

What surprised Guo Dian was that Zhang Huang did not summon the martial soul residing in his body to assist him like him, but opened his mouth to say a few words to him.

"At this hour, Lord Guo is fighting in the western suburbs, is it because it is a cloudy day?"

"......" Guo Dian glanced at Zhang Huang suspiciously, but it was undeniable that Zhang Huang was right, it was precisely because it was a cloudy day today that he Guo Dian would lead his troops to fight at this hour, otherwise, the soldiers on their side would be facing the sun in the sky to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, which was simply a way to kill himself.

Guo Dian just wondered why Zhang Huang mentioned today's weather for no reason.

"It seems that this is the case......" Seeing Guo Dian's expression, Zhang Huang also knew that he had guessed correctly, and after looking at Guo Dian who was untouched for a moment with a smile, he grinned, "It's a pity...... Lord Guo guessed wrong, ...... today It's a sunny day! ”

"What?" Guo Dian's face was full of doubts.

And at this time, a strange bird that was stretching its wings appeared in the thin layer of flames on Zhang Huang's body, and then the strange bird raised its head and cried at the sky.

"Quackβ€”"

A strange crow cry resounded through the sky, only to see the clouds surging in the sky, and a round of bright sun suddenly appeared in the originally cloudy sky, and the bright sunlight suddenly pierced Guo Dianjun couldn't open his eyes because of the direction.

In an instant, the situation on the entire battlefield immediately changed, and all the Guo Dian soldiers had to subconsciously close their eyes because of the dazzling sunlight, or passively raised a hand to block the sunlight from the opposite side, on the other hand, the Yellow Turban soldiers were not affected at all because of their relationship with their backs to the sun on the battlefield.

"If I'm here, the sky will be clear!"

Looking at Guo Dian, who was dumbfounded because of this change, Zhang Huang said slowly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ On this day, it's always on my side! (To be continued......)
