The 30th section of Zu Mao Xian Zong

  Yu Jin thrust out his spear once again. The tip of the spear was so black it seemed to drip with ink, and it shot straight for Cheng Pu's throat. Cheng Pu wanted to parry, but his hands were too weak, and he couldn't keep up with his opponent's movements. As he stared wide-eyed at the approaching darkness, Cheng Pu let out a loud cry in his heart:

  My life is at an end...

  However, Yu Jin's spear did not thrust down. Because he changed his move.

  Iron spear horizontal, "dang" a loud noise, Yu Jin's body shook, both hands almost couldn't hold the spear!

  All of this, just because of a casual slash.

  This sword is called "Songwen Gutie Knife", five feet long and twenty-eight and a half pounds in weight, sharp and introverted.

  The man wielding the sword was named Sun Jian, eight feet tall and robust in build. His entire body was shrouded in a dark green "battle aura". Even his casual strikes made Yu Jin feel hard to parry.

  At this moment, Sun Jian finally climbed onto the city wall after being preempted by the Northern Army.

  "Cheng Demou, retreat quickly!"

  He saved Cheng Pu with one slash, and without hesitation, he made another slash, cutting down a soldier who was about to come to Yu Jin's aid. The man fell off the city wall with a cry of despair.

  As soon as Sun Jian made his move, Zhang Kuang, who was on the city wall, couldn't sit still.

  "Gotcha! It's your turn!"

  The Han army was able to easily climb the city wall, half because the Tianping Army lacked experience in defending the city, and the other half was actually a trap, a trap to kill Sun Jian.

  In Zhang Fei's impression, Sun Jian was a brave and fierce man, but he lost due to his recklessness. In history, he died under the enemy's arrows because he charged too far forward in battle.

  So, Zhang Kuang deliberately allowed the Han army to climb the city. As a brave general who liked to take the lead, Sun Jian would definitely be the first to rush up. At this time, several generals ambushed by Zhang Kuang would simultaneously kill and attack Sun Jian, determined to surround and kill him in this great opportunity!

  To achieve this goal, Zhang Kuang concentrated on the array led by Dian Wei, Zhou Cang and Yu Jin as assistants, Shen Fu sniping in the rear, and when necessary, Zhang Kuang would also personally take to the field to kill. If Sun Jian knew about the formation his opponent had prepared for him, he would be so shocked that even the hairs on his ears would stand up!

  However, man proposes but God disposes. Zhang Kuang did not expect that after the cloud ladder was set up, the first to rush to the top of the city would not be Sun Jian, but another brave and powerful general.

  This inadvertently caused a huge disruption to Zhang's overall situation of surrounding and killing Sun Jian. Just as Zhang was hesitating about whether to change his target, he was delighted to discover that Yu Jin, who had greatly increased his military strength, had actually completely suppressed this Han army general.

  Just as Han's brave general was about to be executed by Yu Jin, the long-awaited protagonist Sun Jian suddenly made a brilliant appearance at this critical moment!

  At this time, Yu Jin was caught off guard and looked disheveled. To avoid Sun Jian's subsequent knife attack, Yu Jin, who had already consumed a lot of "war qi", had to use the embarrassing move "Lazy Donkey Rolls". However, anyone could see that if things continued like this, Yu Jin, who was being chased by Sun Jian, wouldn't be able to hold on for many more moves.

  So a heavy fine iron long knife slantingly stabbed in and held down Sun Jian's "Gu Ding Dao".

  The man who drew his sword was nine feet tall, extremely robust, but with a hint of childishness on his face - it was Zhou Cang, Zhou Dafeng, who had just turned nineteen!

  "Good job!"

  Sun Jian and Zhou Cang exchanged a fierce blow, causing him to switch the "Gu Ding Dao" to his left hand. This young opponent had an unexpectedly great deal of strength. Sun Jian infused 80% of his "Zhan Qi" into the "Gu Ding Dao", barely managing to stalemate with his opponent's innate divine power.

  Zhou Cang swung his long-handled great sword in the air, creating a sword flower that dissipated the remaining counter-shock force. He then activated the "War Qi" on his body and once again dyed the colorless blade with a layer of pale green.

  "Good fight!"

  Zhou Cang couldn't help but praise Sun Jian with a sentence. The depth of the opponent's "war spirit" was beyond Zhou Cang's expectations. After this knife, both sides had a general estimate of the enemy's strength.

  The opponent has great strength, but his knife moves are a bit slow...

  Sun Jian, relying on his rich combat experience, saw the weakness of his opponent's martial arts at a glance. His knife method changed, abandoning the gathering of strength and pursuing speed instead. In the next confrontation, Sun Jian's knife turned into a flash of lightning, directly slashing towards Zhou Cang's face!

  What a fast knife!

  Zhou Cang shrank his neck, dodging the knife. However, Sun Jian took advantage of the situation and didn't spare anyone, with one knife following another, making Zhou Cang exhausted from defending. Occasionally, the blades of the two sides intersected, and Sun Jian immediately used the rebound force to transition into the next offensive.

  To counter such swift swordsmanship, Zhou Cang had no choice but to resort to his unscrupulous tactics of mutually assured destruction, recklessly swinging his blade straight at Sun Jian's body. However, Sun Jian's swordsmanship was too refined, and even as he dodged and weaved, he managed to leave two gashes on Zhou Cang's person.

  If it weren't for the injury last time, Zhang Kuang specially took out a suit of iron armor from the captured helmets and rewarded Zhou Cang. In these ten rounds, Zhou Cang was afraid that he had already hung up three or four colors on his body.

  At this time, since Sun Jian successfully opened up a formation on the city wall, the Han army below also began to climb up continuously from the cloud ladder. Charging in the front and closely following Sun Jian's footsteps was naturally Sun Jian's most trusted arm, the leader of "Mighty Tiger Hero", Zu Mao and Zu Da Rong.

  Nowadays, when it comes to the two words "Yi Cong", people often think of the "Qiang Zhong Yi Cong" of the former Taifu Duan Huo, or the "White Horse Yi Cong" of Liaodong Gongsun Zan. However, anyone who has seen Sun Jian's heroic appearance on the battlefield will have a deep impression of the "Meng Hu Yi Cong" under his command.

  Because, these "fierce tiger heroes", when fighting, can be said to be fearless of life and death, bravely unstoppable. It's better to say they are "mad tiger heroes" or "mad dog heroes" (the enemy's words)!

  Just like now, Zu Mao held two large knives and brought two subordinates to face the enemy on the city wall, and he was in a mess. The Tianping Army defending the city actually had an advantage in numbers. However, under the chaotic knife of Zu Mao and other "Meng Hu Yi Cong", everyone felt that they were facing countless enemies alone and helpless.

  This is the peculiar aspect of Zumo's knife method. With extremely fast speed, wielding dual knives creates psychological pressure on the opponent, thereby weakening their will to fight. The dance of the dual knives appears disorderly but actually secretly follows a mysterious trajectory.

  Along the hidden trajectory of the swing, it can greatly reduce the physical strength consumed and effectively increase the speed of the knife swing, thereby enhancing the lethality of the blade.

  This set of knife techniques, sinister and yet revealing a grandeur, even Sun Jian had much praise for it. The origin of the technique can be traced back to Zu Mao's ancestors several generations ago.

  In those years, "Dingyuan Marquis" Ban Chao, with thirty-six people, determined the Western Regions. Zu Mao's ancestors were among them. After watching the Persian "Fire Worship" "Fire Dance" that was passed down in the Western Regions, he had an epiphany and created this unique knife technique.

  Later, after being improved by Zǔ Mào's ancestors and guided by the knife method master Sūn Jiān, it was finally perfected in Zǔ Mào's hands.

  To match his swift and nimble knife skills, Zu Mao specially purchased a pair of soft knives made from hundred-refined steel.

  The soft sword body, when swung, vibrates at high speed, creating countless afterimages. The sharp blade has a strong cutting force, capable of inflicting great damage on the enemy. When dealing with small soldiers who are not skilled in martial arts, Zu Mao's attack power is even more than Sun Jian can match.

  Then, when Zhou Cang was being beaten by Sun Jian and was at a loss, the Heavenly Army soldiers guarding the city gate were also suffering heavy casualties under the crazy attack of "Mighty Tiger Hero" led by Zu Mao, on the verge of collapse!

  "Look out!"

  A thick voice sounded behind Zhou Cang's back.

  A heavy short spear blocked the sudden attack of "Gu Ding Dao". The tawny "Zhan Huo" burst out and clashed with the dark green "Zhan Huo" on "Gu Ding Dao". Although there was some restraint in attributes, Sun Jian still had a feeling of chopping down a great mountain with one knife.

  What kind of feeling is it to chop a knife on a big mountain?

  Motionless!

  Sun Jian stared at the ugly big man who suddenly appeared halfway, and a sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart. Although the opponent's "war qi" was earth attribute, which was just restrained by his own wood attribute, Sun Jian still faintly felt that the opponent's strength was above his own!
