Chapter 699: Chapter 537: Li Feng, who has fallen into devilry, may attain immortality and indestructibility

The strengths of the two were immediately evident, but Ji Ling failed to notice any marks on his own Square Sky Halberd; instead, he confidently turned his horse around, reversing his grip on the halberd, ready for the second round.

Wang Yang, of course, understood the intricacies at play. His physical strength was absolutely dominant, and no matter what advantages Ji Ling possessed, victory would be extremely difficult.

However, it was a great pity that the previous strike did not kill Ji Ling; Wang Yang lamented inwardly that he didn’t cut Ji Ling down in one blow. In his estimation, Ji Ling’s neck should have bore a bloody, piercing wound by now.

Wang Yang couldn’t help but feel regretful. Although Ji Ling was merely a mortal, he was a battle-hardened military general, and such reactionary speed was to be expected.

In comparison to Ji Ling, Wang Yang’s abilities far surpassed his opponent’s. To speak without courtesy, if Wang Yang had exerted just a little more strength, Ji Ling’s head would likely not have remained intact.

Quickly, Wang Yang seized control of his horse, executing a turn-around, ready for the second round as both turned simultaneously, eyes locking, with the will to fight evident in both their gazes.

The moment one of them made a move, they would be set off instantly.

"Kill!"

Ji Ling bellowed, swinging his Square Sky Halberd through the air, creating a sonic boom. Wang Yang knew this meant Ji Ling was preparing a surprising attack, exploiting the advantage of his longer weapon to attempt a direct kill.

"This strike will leave you no room to dodge."

Wang Yang naturally squeezed his horse’s sides, heading toward Ji Ling, his longsword swinging back and forth, adjusting angles, appearing to outsiders as though he couldn’t hold onto his sword.

In reality, Ji Ling’s swinging of the Square Sky Halberd wasn’t about power, but rather to adjust the angle for a killing blow, while Wang Yang was aiming to exploit gaps in the halberd to strike Ji Ling dead in a single blow.

Both were intent on delivering a fatal strike.

Clang!

That ring startled Yuanshu to his feet, the sound more piercing than the drums in the hall, while the Qingzhou troops had been eagerly anticipating the outcome.

Wang Yang and Ji Ling maintained a bizarre posture, with Ji Ling on his horse, gripping the Square Sky Halberd tightly, which seemed to have pierced Wang Yang’s body.

As for Wang Yang’s longsword, it was just as he had anticipated; one foot braced on his horse, the other dangling in the air, longsword in hand, body leaning forward, the tip of the longsword passing through the gap in the halberd.

It emerged from the other side; in the final moment, Wang Yang extended his hand to catch the longsword that passed through the gap, aiming straight for the Yellow Dragon, thrusting towards Ji Ling’s face.

Wang Yang was startled into a cold sweat, while Ji Ling’s eyes were wide open, staring intently at Wang Yang as if trying to imprint his image in his memory.

"Such exquisite and peerless swordsmanship, I, Ji Ling...ugh!"

Just as Ji Ling was about to say something, he suddenly spurted blood and fell to the ground, silent.

Wang Yang slowly withdrew his sword, and the Square Sky Halberd split into two in the air; in the last moment, Ji Ling had tried to switch to defense to block Wang Yang’s sword.

But that sword mark had been the one thing Ji Ling had not anticipated, and Wang Yang’s thrust had pierced straight through the Square Sky Halberd to strike Ji Ling directly.

As for the Square Sky Halberd piercing Wang Yang’s body, Ji Ling knew from his ample experience in killing that the strike hadn’t reached Wang Yang’s body; it had merely touched his clothing.

Wang Yang didn’t stop moving beneath him; he reached out to grab Ji Ling’s horse’s reins, controlling both his own horse and Ji Ling’s side by side. Such a feat of riding two horses at once was considered unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms.

Seeing Ji Ling fall, Yuanshu felt a sudden jolt and staggered backward two steps, collapsing into his chair, never having imagined that Wang Yang could be so ferociously unmatched, and that Ji Ling would not last even two rounds against him.

On the Qingzhou troops’ side, most were already prepared to flee, but with a sudden muffled sound, they all widened their eyes knowing the end had been decided.

But, to their astonishment it turned out to be the fierce general Ji Ling, who wielded a 65-jin Square Sky Halberd, now broken, indicating Wang Yang’s terrifying might.

Moreover, the equestrian skill to ride two horses was not common; at the very least, one had to be a valorous military general. With two horses sharing the load, of course, they would be faster than one horse.

Additionally, the strength of two horses was certainly much greater than one, but this put a tremendous strain on the military general himself. If not strong enough,

he might fall off the horses or be torn apart outright.

"Such a fierce general, why is he not one of my, Yuanshu’s, men!"

At this moment, Yuanshu also began to envy Cao Cao, wondering why Cao Cao had so many talented and unique individuals to assist him, while he experienced nothing but desertion and betrayal.

Zhang Xun’s complexion changed instantly. The finesse of that single strike was such that even he might not fare well if he entered the fray, especially since that strike had forcibly broken the Mystic Iron-infused Square Sky Halberd.

Such power was not even given much indulgence by the once-in-millennia hero Xiang Yu. Zhang Xun had just claimed that it would take Ji Ling within ten rounds to defeat Wang Yang, yet after only one round, his face was slapped resoundingly.

"Those on the wall, who are you? Dare you come down and battle me!"

The one who rode two horses, Wang Yang, flicked his sword on the ground, sending the broken half of the Square Sky Halberd flying like a shooting star toward the wall.

Zhang Xun was immediately shocked, and so was Yuanshu; such a fierce general might even surpass Lu Bu. If he could have such a warrior under his command, wouldn’t the world be his for the taking?
