Chapter 785: Chapter 48 Charging in Tandem

Daylily appeared behind Tang Zheng, hugging him, her right hand plucking rapidly as a golden halo instantly flashed from between her fingers. It then landed on Tang Zheng, the ancient warrior, and Mo Zui, completing the buff state augmentation. After that, the girl forcefully pushed Tang Zheng’s back, leaping off the war horse. In the moment of descent, she teleported away, vanishing into thin air on the street.

The divine protection of Daylily, a girl endowed with the fourth ability of the Furious Queen. As she’s a non-combat hero, there is no five-minute summoning time limit. Moreover, she can coexist with both the Musketeer girl and the ancient warrior. However, she cannot buff either of them unless in the first-order burst state, where this limitation is lifted.

Daylily’s attack power is extremely low. Although she can shoot with a gun, because she lacks any offensive skills, her accuracy is pitifully low, but that also means she won’t cause accidental harm. Her function is to stay by Tang Zheng’s side, serving as a caretaker, ensuring his physical and mental condition is maintained at an optimal state. However, because Tang Zheng finds her clinginess irksome, she is not put to use often.

Boom, a halo entered the body of the war horse, Mo Zui, causing its muscles to bulge instantly, and its sprinting speed sharply increased. The sound of a single horse charging into battle seemed to drown out the noise of dozens of cavalry on the other side.

The distance between the two sides closed rapidly, like two mighty rivers meeting head-on!

The ancient warrior already let go of the reins, wielding the long spear in one hand and swinging it forcefully. The sharp spear blade, cutting through the wind, decapitated a cavalryman by slashing his neck. Before the body could fall, the ancient warrior skewered another cavalryman’s torso, toppling him over.

Tang Zheng, trailing behind by five meters, also stormed wildly. In contrast to the sweeping strikes of the ancient warrior, Tang Zheng wielded his Yari like a phantom; a striking venomous snake, attacking relentlessly.

The sharp spear blade pierced through the face armor of a cavalryman, quickly retracted by Tang Zheng, and then swung to hit a low-lying cavalryman on his left side, knocking him off the war horse.

As the two horses crossed paths, the fallen cavalryman was dragged along because his feet were still in the stirrups, his armor scraping against the ground and producing a continuous noise.

Those slips that escaped the warrior’s strikes were not able to maintain a formation and posed no threat to Tang Zheng. The two riders stormed through the enemy ranks, leaving behind corpses.

The newbies hidden inside a building, who had secretly observed all this, were stunned. They all looked incredulous that Tang Zheng could indeed charge into battle and even maintain an upper hand, overthrowing the Demonic Shadow Cavalry. They couldn’t breathe as they watched the footman formation made up of three hundred Demonic Shadow people preparing to face the Group Leader’s attack.

Jing Xiang’s face turned red in excitement. "Our group leader is indeed formidable," she thought.

Song Huiqiao pursed her lips. Tang Zheng’s indomitable momentum made her feel as if she were in an ancient battlefield, watching the posture of an ancient brave general.

"Warrior, break through!" Tang Zheng bent over, stretched out his hand, grabbed the hilt of the samurai sword on a cavalryman’s corpse, swung it out using the inertia.

The sharp blade of the knife seemed to be flowing with moonlight in the dim moonlight.

After the first-order burst, the abilities evolved, extending the existence of summoned heroes to ten minutes, including invisibility. However, Tang Zheng hadn’t used this. He wanted to give the Daimyo on the opposite side a ’surprise’ at the right moment.

In the moment when the cavalry formation was broken through, the footmen had already discarded their longbows, taken the arrow, and aimed at the ancient warrior for shooting. But, they only managed to get off one round of shots before the warrior charged at them.

The footmen dropped the long bow, picked up the bamboo spear inlaid with sharp spear blades, and faced the ancient warrior. The footmen on two sides swiftly moved forward, and in a blink, they formed an arc to bury the warrior.

The warrior batted the arrows away; his right hand held the long spear while his left hand drew the long handle war hammer from his back and threw it out.

Boom, the war hammer exceeding five hundred pounds smashed into the footmen, instantly overthrowing a group of them. Even though they were shadows, several of them had been crushed into a puddle of minced meat.

The footmen charged fearlessly, intending to get close.

The warrior swung his arm; the long spear swept across and instantly flung the footmen on the right side away. Then, he waved his left hand and the iron chain seemed to ripple like waves. It reached the war hammer and was thrown out again by the warrior.

In the clanking of the iron chain, it whirled and hit the footmen, overturning another group of them.

About ten or so bamboo spears did pierce the warrior, but they couldn’t penetrate his heavy armor. Some even broke their spearheads.

Just within two breaths, the warrior broke through the footmen’s defense line. Tang Zheng charged through next. A footman was just getting up from the ground when Tang Zheng skewered his brain with the long spear and pinned him back to the ground.

The number of footmen was too low to form an advantage.

Several warriors behind the Daimyo spurred their horses and charged out. They drew their swords and cut into the hindquarters of the war horses, initiating a sprint.

In a blink, a fight broke out. This time, the warrior was not able to break through so easily and was entangled. About a dozen cavalrymen split off and charged at Tang Zheng. The footmen who were not killed also pounced over, jabbing randomly with bamboo spears.

Tang Zheng’s horsemanship was mediocre, so he decisively dismounted the war horse to fight on foot. He faced a fast-approaching cavalryman, lunging the long spear with his right hand, hitting right at its throat.

The war horse ran past, leaving its master impaled on the spear. Tang Zheng swung his arm and flung it at another incoming cavalryman then turned and swung the sword to block the bamboo spears coming at him.

Dozens of cavalries surround the warrior, embroiled in a fierce battle. Battle horses neigh loudly, snorting constantly, their iron hooves stamping the ground and making a chaotic rhythmic sound, which was soon drowned out by the clashing of weapons.

In the face of the warrior’s brute force, the cavalries were constantly flung out of the melee and tumbling away.

The daimyo was no longer carefree, furrowing his brow and glaring at the Warrior. The long delay in officials taking down the enemy irritated him.

After chopping off the head of a foot soldier, Tang Zheng’s Samurai Sword shattered. The disadvantages of weapon restrictions began to show. If he had a Gatling Machine Gun and loaded it with spiritual power bullets, he would undoubtedly sweep the field.

Though the demonic shadows were all low-level troops, it would still take Tang Zheng a considerable amount of strength and time to kill them all. He didn’t want to face the daimyo beast in a weakened state.

"Second stage!" Tang Zheng bellowed, entering the Second-Order Burst State.

The warrior roared, bursting into battle with the war hammer and spear, emanating an aura of death. Any soldier hit by his attack would immediately crumble and lose their fighting ability.

In the second stage, summoned heroes evolve again, increasing their strength and agility tenfold. The Daylily can now use healing magic.

The daimyo could no longer sit idle. Seeing the carnage of his men within less than five minutes, his face darkened with anger. He waved his hand, throwing his Gunpei into the fray.

The fan-shaped Gunpei instantly shot towards Tang Zheng, whistling through the air like a meteor. The daimyo, possessing wisdom, realized that Tang Zheng was the leader and intended to claim his head.

The warrior waved his war hammer to intercept, but missed by a hair’s breadth. Tang Zheng could not keep his eyes everywhere, and the Gunpei was too fast. By the time he saw it, it was already at his side, striking his chest.

With a bang, Tang Zheng was sent flying as if hit by a siege hammer, tumbling backward until he crashed into a wall. The Gunpei curved in the air and shot back at him.

Tang Zheng dodged, and the Gunpei smashed into the ground, forcing debris into the air and leaving behind a pit, exhibiting power even stronger than a mortar’s blast.

"Seems like it has a defense-breaking effect?" A wave of pain surged from his chest, causing Tang Zheng to cough up blood. The fact that even his SS-level defense was rendered ineffective, resulting in him getting injured, was disconcerting.

"I can’t drag this on." Without a weapon, Tang Zheng’s combat power was reduced significantly. Each movement triggered a sharp pain from his wound, but he was unable to use a potion to heal.

"Warrior, attack!" As Tang Zheng roared in fury, the warrior disappeared. A surprised soldier who had just missed a slash with his sword rushed towards the Daimyo in an attempt to protect it.

They had good intentions, but it was too late. The warrior reappeared beside the daimyo, striking down with his war hammer, aiming directly for the daimyo’s head.

The daimyo, riding His steed, attempted to bolt but only managed a few steps before the war horse was kicked in the stomach by a reappearing Mo Zui. The horse whinnied in fright, rearing up on its hind legs.

The daimyo quickly released the reins and rolled to the side to avoid the attack. His horse, however, was struck on the back by the war hammer and smashed into the ground.

The horse was cut in half from the impact, its chest and abdomen reduced to pulp. The gust created by the war hammer blew debris everywhere.

The daimyo drew his Samurai Sword while facing the warrior. He opened his mouth wide to spray out dozens of fireballs the size of fingernails. Upon contact with air, these fireballs expanded dramatically, growing to the size of a wheel, and attacked with scorching heat.

The warrior swung his war hammer, preparing to withstand the attack. The fireballs exploded upon contact with the war hammer, scattering countless sparks that danced in the air like swarming fireflies. The strong impact even made the warrior’s grip on the hammer unsteady.

With fireballs coming in a continuous succession, the warrior had to retreat to avoid the brunt of the attack. The daimyo revealed a sly smile and went on an offensive, slashing at the warrior’s waist.

The warrior successfully blocked the attack, but before he could counterattack, the daimyo stabbed him in the abdomen with a secondary sword. Just as he was about to pull it across the warrior’s waist, the warrior punched him in the face and knocked him away.

A large part of Tang Zheng’s attention was caught up by the whirling Gunpei. Seizing this opportunity, a soldier got close and left a slash mark on his back. If not for his protective clothing, this would have drawn blood.

Tang Zheng stepped back and turned around. Extending his arm, he grabbed the soldier by the neck and used him as a shield.

The Gunpei came whirling back, striking the soldier’s chest before hitting Tang Zheng’s chest, sending him tumbling.

"Dammit." Tang Zheng, quick to react, reached out and grabbed the Gunpei. A tremendous force of resistance surged against him, causing veins on his arms to pop up like earthworms.

Tang Zheng was thrown off balance by the force. The Gunpei tried to break free, but suddenly rebounded and aimed right for his head.

Tang Zheng exerted his strength once again, gripping the Gunpei firmly just before it hit his face. His other hand also grasped it, and after a moment of resistance, with a crisp snap, he broke it in half. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for it.
