Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 190 Zhao Zilong's Seven In and Seven Out Attempts

With the warhorse Zhaoye Jade Lion, Zhao Yun is at his strongest.

"General, you should take Zhongkang and Laodian and leave first. I will cover the rear!" Zhao Yun said to Cao Yan.

Upon hearing this, Dian Wei's face turned red with anxiety, and he shouted, "I can still fight, my lord, I..."

However, before Dian Wei could finish speaking, Cao Yan ordered, "Dian Wei, Xu Chu, let's go!"

Although the voice was not loud, it conveyed an undeniable firmness.

"Ah! You really left Zilong alone to cover the rear?" Xu Chu was dumbfounded and found it hard to believe.

Zhao Yun only has one more condition to meet in the mission of "seven entries and seven exits". He is just one more chance to "show his divine power"!

Zhang Xiu mobilized his entire army, which must have numbered no fewer than ten thousand men.

Cao Yan looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, your Seven-Probe Serpent Spear still needs honing. Our army is not far away. This time, go all out and fight your way in and out seven times!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun smiled slightly, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "General, rest assured, just watch Yun's performance!"

After watching Cao Yan and the others leave, Zhao Yun took a deep breath and suddenly spurred his horse's flanks!
The Jade Lion, in pain, roared and charged towards Zhang Xiu's pursuing army like an arrow released from a bow.

When Zhang Xiu's soldiers saw that the silver-armored general was charging in alone, they were immediately thrown into an uproar.

The general at the forefront glared angrily, brandished his sword at Zhao Yun, and shouted, "Where did this madman come from, daring to charge into our ranks alone! Men, chop him into mincemeat!"

"kill!!!"

At the general's command, the Xiliang soldiers swarmed forward, enthusiastically attacking Zhao Yun with broadswords, spears, and bows and arrows.

Zhao Yun wielded his silver spear, and amidst the flurry of spear shadows, easily deflected several incoming arrows.

Immediately, he charged fiercely into the enemy's formation!
The Xiliang army under Zhang Xiu's command was no longer the elite force it had been during Dong Zhuo's era.

Their formation was loose, with virtually no coordination; their strength lay solely in individual ability.

The Seven Probes Serpent Spear technique is all about the word "deceptive".

Zhao Yun's thrusts always appeared casual, yet he always managed to evade the enemy's weapons with uncanny skill, find the opponent's weakness, and then strike and retreat.

Just like those venomous snakes, they don't care whether their prey is dead or alive, they just bite and run away without any hesitation!

As he fought the enemy, he mentally reviewed his newly created marksmanship.

Previously, when welcoming the emperor, for the sake of the overall situation and to avoid unnecessary casualties among his brothers, Zhao Yun basically did not engage in direct confrontations with his opponents.

They all relied on their superior cavalry leadership skills, flying kites and literally killing their opponents.

Now that he finally had the chance, and with no one else to worry about, Zhao Yun could finally relax, unleash his full power, and kill to his heart's content!
Charging into the enemy ranks, Zhao Yun no longer worried about being targeted by a barrage of arrows.

Relying on the Jade Lion's super endurance, speed, and teamwork, Zhao Yun fought with great gusto.

With a thrust of his spear, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, he aimed straight for the throat of an enemy soldier. The enemy soldier didn't even have time to react before he was killed by the spear.

However, Zhao Yun was not entirely satisfied with this shot.

Although I have become very proficient through daily practice, there is still a difference between actual combat and practice.

That move just now, "White Snake Spits Venom,"
His original intention was to pierce the throats of the two enemy soldiers at an extremely fast speed.

However, in the dense crowd, the angle at which the spear was thrust was disrupted, and he ultimately only managed to kill one person.

"The speed is still not enough, and the angle is not smooth enough..." Zhao Yun frowned and pondered.

He then tilted the spear slightly, no longer thrusting straight at the enemy, but instead using the spear tip to cut through their defenses, instantly knocking three Xiliang soldiers off their horses.

"In actual combat, fine-tuning the angle is very important, and I don't need to be bound by the fixed patterns I practice every day." Zhao Yun thought to himself, and then his attacks became more and more casual, and more and more unpredictable!
As Zhao Yun penetrated deeper into enemy lines, the number of enemies around him increased. Using his waist as a pivot, Zhao Yun swept his spear horizontally, catching the enemy off guard and knocking down a large number of them.

Snakes aren't just venomous snakes; there are also pythons!
With this sweep, a vacuum appeared around Zhao Yun.

But just as he sped up and broke through the encirclement, he ran headlong into the same Xiliang army general who had been "glaring angrily" at the beginning.

As a general, his martial arts skills were naturally slightly better than those of a common soldier.

The two clashed face to face. The enemy general's swordsmanship was extremely fierce, with every strike aimed at Zhao Yun's vital points.

After exchanging blows with him for two rounds, Zhao Yun suddenly changed his tactics, flicking his spear tip and instantly transforming it into several spear flowers.

The enemy general was so dazzled that he didn't know how to defend himself. Zhao Yun pierced his shoulder with his spear, and he fell off his horse with a scream, landing on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

While killing enemies, Zhao Yun also studied spear techniques, and before he knew it, he had cut through the Xiliang army!

At this moment, Zhang Xiu saw Zhao Yun's bravery from afar and was furious. He shouted, "Surround him! Don't let him escape!"

Immediately, more Xiliang soldiers surged towards Zhao Yun.

But what Zhang Xiu didn't know was that the person stirring up trouble in his army was none other than his junior brother.

He and Zhao Yun were both disciples of the spear master Tong Yuan, and his signature skill was the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix spear technique.

Because Zhao Yun only used the Seven Probing Serpent Spear Technique the whole way, Zhang Xiu did not realize that Zhao Yun was a fellow disciple.

Seeing another large horde of enemy troops approaching, Zhao Yun showed no fear and plunged headlong into the crowd once more.

He charged left and right through the enemy lines, and with each shot he fired, he could take the lives of one or even several enemies.

But he also felt that his physical strength was being consumed rapidly, and his breathing was becoming somewhat heavy.

Moreover, as the number of enemies increased, their own actions began to be restricted.

By this time, he had fought his way in and out of the enemy ranks three times, and his silver armor was stained with large patches of blood.

Zhang Xiu was furious to see that Cao Cao's army had only one general who could rampage through his ranks.

But his primary target right now is Cao Cao. Although Zhao Yun is annoying, he's just a troublemaker and can't influence the overall situation.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu ordered, "Ignore him, go after Cao Cao!"

Now that the pressure has been relieved, Zhao Yun can finally let loose and be himself.

Zhang Xiu's army ignored Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun even took the initiative to come to him.

He charged into the ranks of the Xiliang army once again, throwing them into chaos. The already loose formation of the Xiliang army became even more disorganized under his attack.

In the midst of fierce battles, Zhao Yun gained a deeper understanding of his spear technique.

He also felt that his understanding of the Seven Probing Serpent Spear had reached a new level.

What used to be fixed moves and routines has now become fluid and seamless.

Overjoyed, he couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, only in the face of life and death can one truly hone unparalleled marksmanship!"

Zhao Yun continued to fight in the enemy ranks, making four more incursions!
Zhang Xiu was so annoyed by Zhao Yun that he finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to deal with this troublesome fellow himself.

However, just as Zhang Xiu was preparing to turn his horse around to meet Zhao Yun in battle,
In the distance, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out!
The earth is trembling!

Those were ten thousand flying dragon riders, rapidly charging towards this direction!

"Zilong, I'm here to help you!!!"
