Chapter 244: Maneuvering
Relying on Liaoyuan Huo’s speed, Luo Ji pursued for 7 consecutive rounds.
However, having exhausted his moves, he clearly began to expose his shortcomings, allowing Zhou Dongnan, a fierce general-type player, to distinctly sense something amiss.
At this moment, Zhou Dongnan was completely unable to connect the person desperately pursuing him now with the Luo Ji who had nearly killed him with a combo attack earlier.
The change in fighting style and technique made it feel as if he was fighting two different people, and undoubtedly, the one before him now was much weaker.
“What’s going on?”
This strange change clearly made it difficult for Zhou Dongnan to understand for a moment.
“In any case, I’ll test him first!”
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.
After consecutively deflecting 3 more pursuits, Zhou Dongnan, who had almost regrouped, suddenly swung his crescent halberd.
A powerful and heavy blow directly struck towards Luo Ji!
Sensing the threat of this attack, Luo Ji’s heart sank.
Bai Ze’s words from back then couldn’t help but echo in his mind.
“Leader, if, under surprise circumstances, you use this combo attack and still fail to directly kill or severely wound the opponent, it means the opponent is also no ordinary individual.”
“Your subsequent pursuit will inevitably expose your shortcomings.”
‘At that time, the discrepancy in strength before and after will certainly make the opponent feel confused.”
“To be cautious, the opponent will definitely choose to test you out.”
“Remember, do not parry with spear techniques. That will only expose you completely. You must maneuver with him using horsemanship!”
“For those skilled in mounted combat, horsemanship is also a very important part of their strength. And Liaoyuan Huo is a supreme horse among horses.”
“I have seen no less than 1,000 warhorses, but currently, no warhorse can rival Liaoyuan Huo.”
“This is a huge advantage!”
“At the same time, despite your mediocre actual strength, your horsemanship is oddly good.”
“This is truly strange…”
Recalling these words, Luo Ji decisively pulled the reins in his hand.
Horses are animals that understand human nature, and Liaoyuan Huo, as a treasure horse, was even more so.
It seemed to instantly understand Luo Ji’s intention.
After several rapid hoofbeats, it suddenly accelerated, not only dodging Zhou Dongnan’s attack but also, in one breath, circling behind the opponent.
Then, without too much technique, Luo Ji simply and straightforwardly thrust the bronze spear in his hand!
“Wh-what’s going on?”
“His strength suddenly increased again?!”
As his attack missed, and he was suddenly met with a strong counterattack from the opponent, Zhou Dongnan instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
At the same time, his entire mind became even more chaotic.
“His strength is fluctuating between strong and weak, what exactly is wrong with this Luo Ji?!”
A battle that, for Zhou Dongnan, the person involved, could only be described with the words strange and difficult, thus unfolded.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Liu Meng, who was originally riding a warhorse and leading a small unit of shield-axe soldiers to protect Luo Ji as he charged, now encountered a formidable opponent.
The moment their eyes met, a middle-aged man clad in bronze armor, riding a date-red horse, clearly an outsider general, forcefully blocked his path!
He swung the bronze halberd in his hand, directly attacking him!
Liu Meng dared not be careless.
He pulled the reins with one hand, steadying his mount, while his other hand quickly wielded the specially made bronze battle axe.
The bronze battle axe in Liu Meng’s hand was different from those used by ordinary shield-axe soldiers.
If there was any difference, the axe handle was about 40 centimeters longer than that of a regular bronze battle axe.
Don’t underestimate this small change.
The change in handle length directly allowed this bronze battle axe to generate stronger centrifugal force when swung, and the destructive power inflicted upon striking would far exceed that of an ordinary bronze battle axe!
With a clang of metal, the swinging bronze battle axe instantly collided with the bronze halberd.
The middle-aged man holding the bronze halberd frowned.
Liu Meng’s attack was clearly heavier than he had anticipated.
Realizing this, the middle-aged man quickly pulled back his arms.
While deflecting the force, he made a nimble change of move, and the horizontal blade on the side of the bronze halberd directly swept towards Liu Meng’s throat!
A life-threatening attack, radiating chilling intent, suddenly struck before his eyes.
At that instant, Liu Meng was not flustered.
He took a deep breath, accurately judged the opponent’s attack angle, then swiftly dodged with a sidestep, precisely evading the fatal strike.
Unexpectedly, at this very moment, the middle-aged man, whose attack missed, was not annoyed.
Instead, he gave a strange smile.
Then, he pulled back his arms again.
Liu Meng’s hair stood on end the moment he saw this movement.
Without time to think, he instinctively swayed to the side.
And just as he made this move, accompanied by a sharp pain, his entire left shoulder instantly splattered with blood!
The horizontal blade, pulled back by the middle-aged man, had fiercely slashed his shoulder!
“This fellow!”
The intense pain continuously sounded an alarm in Liu Meng’s mind.
There was a cunningness in this middle-aged man’s fighting style.
He wielded a bronze halberd with incredible finesse.
If he hadn’t reacted in time and swayed just now, the horizontal blade of the bronze halberd would probably have directly slashed his back neck!
Thinking of this, Liu Meng’s entire back was drenched in cold sweat.
Meanwhile, his own fatal strike was once again evaded by the opponent.
The moment their gazes met again, the middle-aged man said nothing, like a silent viper, and attacked Liu Meng again with the bronze halberd in his hand.
Liu Meng, who had already suffered a loss, dared not be careless.
While controlling the warhorse beneath him, he wielded the bronze battle axe in his hand and fought fiercely with this middle-aged man.
The battle escalated, and the two formidable generals instantly fought for 10 rounds.
Liu Meng’s moves were fierce and powerful, while the middle-aged man’s attacks were agile and cunning.
The two extremes continuously clashed, and for a time, the battle became deadlocked.
And while these two fierce generals were locked in intense combat, on the other side of the battlefield, two mounted figures also continuously maneuvered.
In a blink of an eye, 30 more rounds passed.
During this time, the pressure on Luo Ji grew steadily.
Leaving other things aside, Zhou Dongnan’s strength as a fierce general-type player was genuine.
After maneuvering for 30 consecutive rounds, Luo Ji still couldn’t take down the opponent.
However, he didn’t know that after these 30 rounds of fighting, Zhou Dongnan himself was not as relaxed as he appeared.
The backward spear strike earlier, although not deep, had indeed drawn blood.
As the battle progressed, every intense movement continuously tore at the wound on his back.
Large amounts of sweat constantly mixed with the overflowing blood.
Without even looking, he knew that at this moment, his entire back was probably soaked in blood!
