Chapter 2723 The Fiend God's Wrath Battles Three Gods, Single-handedly Slaying Yu Hua
"General Qian, how dare you use such despicable methods in front of me! You have a lot of nerve!" Li Cunxiao, having noticed Zhang Guifang's situation, roared in fury.
Li Cunxiao's roar was like thunder rolling over the mountainside, causing rocks to fall in a flurry.
Ma Sui's defenses against hidden weapons were indeed unmatched by ordinary generals, especially knowing that Yu Hua was a master of hidden weapons. Even though Ma Sui was seriously injured and in extremely poor condition at this time, he still did not relax his vigilance against his opponent.
Furthermore, being almost right next to Li Cunxiao, and with Li Cunxiao's help, he still managed to dodge the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade attack without serious injury.
However, almost the next moment, Li Cunxiao noticed the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade stuck in the back of Zhang Guifang, who was a few steps away from him.
Having already been severely injured and unconscious, Zhang Guifang, who was completely incapacitated, had no chance of surviving against the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.
Even disregarding the Blood-Transforming Poison on the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, the fact that this strike directly hit Zhang Guifang in the back, piercing his vital point, meant that Zhang Guifang would not have any other outcome after this blow.
In this battle, he first lost An Xiuxiu, one of his longest-serving and closest lieutenants. In fact, due to the urgency of the situation, he didn't even have time to search for An Xiuxiu's body.
Or to put it another way, in such a chaotic environment, it is unknown whether An Xiuxiu even had a complete corpse at this time.
Now, Zhang Guifang had been secretly killed almost right under his nose, which ignited Li Cunxiao's anger.
In fact, although they were both Han generals, Li Cunxiao and Zhang Guifang were not familiar with each other. Previously, the two had mostly been on different battlefields and had not met formally more than a few times, so naturally they did not have any extra feelings for each other.
However, Zhang Guifang's death was enough to ignite the anger that Li Cunxiao had been suppressing.
"Since you have both wounded two of my generals in this battle, if I do not take the life of one of you today, then I am not Li Cunxiao!"
Enraged, Li Cunxiao even turned his horse around and prepared to charge back into the same encirclement.
"General, the brothers have all broken through..."
Fu Cunshen, covered in blood and supported by soldiers, seemed to realize Li Cunxiao's thoughts and immediately tried to dissuade him. However, after seeing Li Cunxiao's eyes, he swallowed the rest of his words.
"Take them away. The Flying Tiger Battalion will provide support outside. Once we're out of the canyon, we'll be safe." Li Cunxiao, who had already turned his horse around, said in a deep voice to Fu Cunshen and Ma Sui, who were his generals.
Of the Han army that managed to break through the encirclement with him, only a hundred or so remnants remained. However, having finally managed to pull them out of the dead end, Li Cunxiao absolutely did not want them to fall like Zhang Guifang before the dawn.
His decision to turn and charge at this moment stemmed not only from anger but also from the thought that these people were blocking the enemy's pursuit.
If he were riding alone without any burdens, Li Cunxiao was confident that even if he fought his way in and out seven times, it wouldn't be a difficult task.
In fact, it's fair to say that if he hadn't had these people around him and were alone, the breakout wouldn't have been so troublesome, nor would it have taken so long. Li Cunxiao wouldn't have gone to such lengths to avoid continuous combat with Jiang Hou and try to evade his entanglement. Otherwise, if he had been constantly harassed by Jiang Hou, even if all the people around him had been killed, he wouldn't have been able to break out before then.
Although Jiang Hou's strength is still some distance from his own, he is definitely not someone he can easily manipulate, and he has the ability to hold his own against him for a while.
Fortunately, Jiang Hou still had some reservations. After all, Li Cunxiao had thrown the Qian army soldiers at Jiang Hou, so it was impossible for the other party to ignore them, let alone simply cleave them in two with a single blow.
One or two times might not seem like a big deal, but if a general keeps killing his soldiers, it won't be long before the morale of his troops collapses, and the battle will become pointless.
After giving instructions to Ma Sui and Fu Cunshen, Li Cunxiao paid no further attention to their reactions. He held the Yuwang Spear and the Biyan Claw in his hands, one on each side. The bloodlust on the two weapons was still so intense that it looked as if they had just been pulled from a pool of blood. Dark red light slowly flowed on the spearhead and the claw.
He squeezed the horse's flanks with his legs, and the fiery steed neighed loudly, its four hooves off the ground, carrying him without looking back as it charged into the depths of the canyon.
The setting sun shone from behind him, casting a dark golden outline on his black figure, and the broken arrows and knife marks embedded in his blood-red armor gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
The Fiery Steed's mane flew in the wind like a burning flame, contrasting with the dark, blood-red armor on its back, making it seem like a demon god that had been slaughtered from hell.
"He dares to come back?" Hou Qing asked in surprise, looking down at the figure that had turned around and was attacking again.
In contrast, Jiang Hou was excited. Li Cunxiao's combat strength had exceeded their expectations. He had actually managed to break through the encirclement, and he even led these remnants of his army out of the encirclement.
They had thought there was no longer any chance of killing Li Cunxiao, but the enemy had returned. So, this possibility that had been extinguished had been rekindled with a glimmer of hope.
"Good timing." Jiang Hou said in a low voice, a cold smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, a smile that carried a hint of ruthlessness.
He gripped the Heavenly Fiend Blade tightly again, and bloodlust flowed from his palm into the blade, causing the dark red light to shine once more.
Hou Qing glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then gripped the Savage Heavenly Fiend Halberd tightly. His condition was far inferior to Jiang Hou's, whether in terms of the consumption of his power or his own state.
In the recent exchange, besides being thrown away by Li Cunxiao at the beginning, he was also hit by the spear shaft once.
Although Jiang Hou helped deflect most of the force during the process, leaving only one or two tenths of its power when it actually hit him, it still caused him some injuries.
"If we can capture this man today, it will be worth dying for." As he spoke, Hou Qing had already spurred his horse and stood side by side with Jiang Hou, preparing to begin the final encirclement and killing of Li Cunxiao.
Hou Qing was not a coward who feared death. As he said, if he could keep the other party here, even if it meant leaving his life behind, it would still be a win.
If he could successfully surround and kill a peak martial arts master, even if he died in battle, it would be an extremely honorable thing for him.
