Chapter 72: Zhao Yun's Strange Change

  "Big brother Dian, you said Zilong will wake up when, it's been a day now, how come there is still no movement?" Zhang Rui was naturally very concerned about Zhao Yun. In the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun could be called a miracle. He had gone through hundreds of battles, big and small, but never lost, and his body didn't have a single scar. Although many of these victories were due to Zhuge Liang's contributions, it couldn't be denied that Zhao Yun's abilities were also very strong.

  "Zhi Bo Mo Huang, a warrior's martial soul is predetermined by heaven, and it will follow you from the moment you awaken until death. Therefore, many people spend their entire lives stuck at the Super First-Class Martial General stage due to their martial soul, but Bawang Xiang Yu created another precedent. His martial soul was originally a Jiaolong, not even comparable to the Four Sacred Beasts, but he absorbed another power in a coincidental encounter, causing his martial soul to undergo a strange mutation, and his realm directly rose to the peak of Super First-Class Martial General. Dian Wei carefully explained to Zhang Rui, but was Zhang Rui the only one listening to his words?"

  "So that's to say, Lü Bu's martial soul, the Absolute Fire Kirin, has also undergone a variation, which is why it can emit dark flames and confuse people's minds?" Cao Chun was naturally concerned about these things. For ordinary martial artists like them, breaking through to become a top-notch martial artist was already satisfying enough. But as for the realm, could it be said that just because one breaks through, they will break through?

  "Look at Lü Bu's martial arts, it is to enter the path of killing, to experience the feeling of killing and break through the boundaries. This kind of martial arts is extremely dangerous, I estimate that Lü Bu should be possessed by the fire, so he can produce dark power. It's just unexpected that he can absorb this power and use it freely, successfully advancing to the peak of a super first-class warrior. His ability is indeed admirable." Diān Wěi naturally understood Lü Bu, Bái Hǔ was the Western Killing Star, he also entered the path of killing, but he didn't dare let himself be possessed by the fire, after all, this kind of abnormal change wasn't something that anyone could achieve.

  "What if it fails when absorbing another power?" Xiahou Dun, who was listening on the side, also asked.

  "If lightly affected, one will be controlled by the demonic path and become a killing machine. If severely affected, one's body will die and their soul will disappear. Those who have successfully transformed their martial souls are all people with great fortune and divine abilities. Otherwise, how would there only be a handful of top-notch warriors in this world?"

  Xiahou Dun felt a sense of disappointment after hearing Dian Wei's words, and the other generals couldn't help but feel disappointed as well. Their martial souls were not like Dian Wei's, one of the Four Sacred Beasts. Who wouldn't want their cultivation to be higher? It's just that there really is no shortcut in the path of martial arts. Rather than becoming a tool for killing people, it's better to cultivate steadily and surely, and there will eventually come a day when they break through.

  "Is there anyone in history who has cultivated both Wu Xuan and Bai Jia skills at the same time?" Zhang Rui asked after hearing Dian Wei's explanation, wondering if cultivating both Wu Xuan and Bai Jia skills simultaneously would also cause a mutation in Wu Xuan.

  "It's generally impossible, none of the hundred saints in history books can awaken their martial soul, and even a strong warrior like Xiang Yu couldn't awaken any divine abilities. Perhaps only the legendary body of ten thousand saints could be so powerful? But the body of ten thousand saints is just speculation, it has never appeared before. Moreover, human life force is limited, how much can one study in their lifetime?"

  Is it the body of All Saints again? Zhang Rui thought. What secrets are hidden in his own body? Why did the book spirits he brought out fall asleep as soon as they entered his mind? If, as Dian Wei said, he could still awaken his martial soul, what kind of martial soul would he be! It's really exciting to think about it, thinking that when the time comes, he and Dian Wei Zhao Yun will charge together, what a wonderful scene it will be. Thinking of Zhao Yun, ah! I don't know how he is doing either.

  Zhao Yun is quietly lying in the carriage, and those who don't know him might think he's sleeping! How can outsiders see the danger inside? At this moment, Zhao Yun seems to be watching a movie, and has returned to his childhood, with his older brother Zhao Feng taking care of him and his younger sister Zhao Yu.

  Three siblings were taken in by Master Tong Yuan, who taught them martial arts and the way of the warrior, emphasizing the importance of a strong heart and never giving up. Historically, Zhao Yun was always in a state of "the stronger the enemy, the stronger I become". From his spear challenge to Ma Chao during the time of Gongsun Zan, to his battles against Wen Chou, and later his seven advances and retreats at Changban Slope, all demonstrated this aspect of Zhao Yun's martial way - never giving up.

  At this moment, Zhao Yun's body had two energy clusters: one red and one black. The two energies refused to give in to each other and began a fierce battle within Zhao Yun's body. Zhao Yun's consciousness was clear, but he couldn't control his own body for the time being.

  What should I do? Zhao Yun suddenly thought of something in his panic. Is it necessary to be like this? Okay, let's fight, otherwise, this stalemate may not end well!

  Only to see Zhao Yun shrink all of Zhu Que's power into his heart, and his body was instantly filled with dark energy. Zhao Yun's eyes turned black, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and an unprecedented calmness emerged in his mind. He felt that he should be stronger than himself during the Zhu Que period in various states!

  At this moment, his heart was filled with murderous intent, and he had a craving for fresh blood. He seemed unable to control this feeling, the energy of the Vermilion Bird in his heart was getting smaller and smaller, and the dark side had already begun to invade his heart. The aura on Zhao Yun's body was also constantly rising, and it seemed to have reached a critical point.

  "Not good, the evil energy on Zi Long's body has suddenly increased greatly. It is very likely that Zi Long has failed. All of you, move aside." Dian Wei swept his spear and knocked away the carriage's curtain, revealing Zhao Yun inside. His eyes were emitting black flames, his heart was beating extremely fast, far exceeding human limits. His face was twisted in a ferocious expression, with an evil smile still on his lips.

  "Dian Ge, if I really can't control myself, then kill me." Dian Wei thought of Zhao Yun's words before he fainted and felt a huge pressure coming. Facing his own comrade, this spear no matter what he couldn't stab down.

  Although I haven't known Zhao Yun for a long time, as warriors we naturally have a deep affection for each other. Moreover, our strengths are not that different, so we have more common language to communicate with each other. However, if I don't take him down now, what will happen later when Zhao brothers fall under the control of the demonic path?

  The demonic path is an intangible and elusive thing. The Taoist saying goes that demons are born from the heart, and hatred towards the world, desire for power, etc., will all enter the demonic path. Until now, no one can explain the existence of this thing. Look at Lü Bu's slaughter entering madness, Dong Zhuo...

  "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry. My own death is nothing, but I absolutely cannot let you harm the lord and the military advisor." Dian Wei seemed to have made up his mind, and with a mighty force, he thrust the large halberd in his hand towards Zhao Yun's heart.

  Zhao Yun suddenly burst into a brilliant red light, his entire body engulfed in raging flames, and the crowd was blinded by the intense heat.
