At the same time, Qiao Rui's soul rhythm sounded faintly.
However, Xiahou Yuan was no pushover either!
While Bai Xiaowen's shot had dealt him a lot of damage, it had also awakened him from the state of Deterrence. He immediately roared and slashed down with the back of his bow.
Combat skill — Longbow Strike! In addition to the effect of repelling the enemy, it also had the effect of Deterrence.
This strike seemed to have an invisible surge of energy. Li Shuyi's mind was shaken for a moment, and his movements slowed down. When he came back to his senses, he was sent flying by the back of the bow and took a few steps back.
Xiahou Yuan drew his bow and nocked three arrows. This time, he aimed at Li Shuyi.
"Die, female thief!"
With a whoosh, the three arrows spiraled out like dragons and went straight for Li Shuyi's heart!
Combat skill — Heart-Piercing Arrow!
Li Shuyi relied on his rapid movement speed to dodge to the side. However, the three coiled arrows seemed to be equipped with navigation systems. They moved horizontally in a trajectory that defied the laws of physics and were still aimed at Li Shuyi!
Li Shuyi was not confident that he could block such a fast arrow. He immediately used his awakening skill — Invincible Slash. The first slash went straight for Xiahou Yuan and was extremely fierce.
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath. Looking at his rapidly decreasing spiritual power, he abruptly stopped the deterrence spiritual field. He controlled the Wrath Claw to leap forward and shoot an oversized Serpent Claw in the air!
As early as a day ago, Bai Xiaowen had already used the oversized Serpent Claw in front of the winged cavalry when they tried to break through the city gate of Xudu.
In the past few days, after the battle of Liaodong and Zhang Jiao, the news that Bai Xiaowen had Taoist techniques had gradually spread among the soldiers and civilians of Youzhou.
The Second Young Master had received the teachings of a Celestial Being by chance and was proficient in strange techniques!
If this was the normal history of the Three Kingdoms, even the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it would not be easy to accept the setting of such strange techniques. It would usually be dismissed as witchcraft and evil.
However, the Three Kingdoms of the Spirit Realm were different. There were some strategists who knew strange techniques. In other words, "supernatural powers" were more common.
Moreover, under the operation of the Spirit Realm's rules, they would try their best to ensure that the awakened ones would not be suspected by the natives because of their combat methods.
Therefore, there was a series of tacit acknowledgments, allowing the Awakened's methods to be as close as possible to those of the aborigines.
For example, handguns could be transformed into crossbows, magic spells could be transformed into daoist spells, and so on.
The crossbowmen, who had just recovered from the mental force field, were instantly annihilated as a gigantic Serpent Spear blasted out.
There were two reasons for such a magnificent victory. On the one hand, the crossbowmen had just been ambushed, and their HP was low after they forced their way out of the valley. On the other hand, Bai Xiaowen had cast Symbiosis and borrowed Delifa's Spirit.
The morale of Xiahou Yuan's troops had completely collapsed. The remaining crippled recruits all turned around and fled back to the valley they had come from!
"Bastard, idiot …"
Xiahou Yuan caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye, and he was furious. However, he no longer had the time to order his troops to reorganize. Li Shuyi's Invincible Slash slashed his body eight times in a row. Even with the protection of his armor, blood still gushed out.
What made Xiahou Yuan feel particularly upset was that the faint whimpering of the flute, as if weeping and complaining, lingered in his ears, disrupting his mind! He noticed that his strength and speed were weakening.
"These bandits are fierce. They must have been sent by Meng De's great enemy!"
Xiahou Yuan suddenly roared, and a wave of air rapidly spread out! Li Shuyi, who was close by, was shocked by the wave of air and flipped backward.
This roaring skill called "Courage" didn't cause much damage to the enemy! However, it had an extremely troublesome slowing effect, and its priority was quite high. Li Shuyi couldn't get rid of it even after eating a ripe green lotus seed.
Moreover, Courage also had the effect of removing negative effects. It could be said to be both offensive and defensive. The layers of Soul Rhythm on Xiahou Yuan's body were instantly cleared.
"It's useless. The outcome has been decided!"
With a thought, Bai Xiaowen summoned his creatures. The Skeleton Warrior, Kitts, and the Butcher, the three melee creatures, surrounded Xiahou Yuan from the left, the right, and the back!
Bai Xiaowen himself jumped down from the Wrath Claw. The Wolf King shook its mane and pounced over with a howl, facing Xiahou Yuan head-on.
Even a Lord-tier shooter would not be able to do anything if they were surrounded.
However, Xiahou Yuan did give Bai Xiaowen a "surprise" that was neither too big nor too small.
After shouting "Courage", Xiahou Yuan put away the Carved Bow and pulled out a horse-slaying saber! The saber flashed, and its momentum was endless. For a moment, it was able to protect itself, and even had time to counterattack.
In a moment of carelessness, the Skeleton Warrior was hit by the saber. Its bone powder fell, and it retreated a few steps.
Bai Xiaowen received a notification:
[Yingchuan Prefect Xiahou Yuan's special skill: Double Strike activated!]
[Xiahou Yuan has entered melee mode.]
[Xiahou Yuan has lost skills: Rapid Shooting, Heart-Piercing Arrow.]
[Xiahou Yuan has gained skills: Six Fold Saber Technique,???]
Xiahou Yuan actually had a melee mode. This was something Bai Xiaowen didn't expect.
However, when he thought about it, it made sense. Many of the generals of the Three Kingdoms were skilled in archery and horse riding. Not only were they good at archery, but they were also not weaker than others in melee combat — the best example was Old Master Huang Zhong.
Xiahou Yuan was obviously the same. Not only were his archery skills amazing, but he also had good saber techniques when the enemy charged at him!
The Six Fold Saber Technique was like dancing snowflakes, continuous and endless. Before the power of the saber was exhausted, new power would be generated. It had the style of a skill-based Boss in the Sword Song Dimension.
This was also a common characteristic of many agility-based Bosses. They were all good at blocking, dodging, deflecting, and other techniques to reduce the damage they received.
The power of the saber technique at the beginning might not be as strong as those strong and fierce strength-based Bosses, but as long as one could withstand the first few moves of the opponent, the longer the fight, the stronger it would become.
However, most of the powerful Bosses in the Three Kingdoms dimension fought on horseback. Two generals would charge at each other, fight for a round, and stagger their horses. Then, they would turn their horses around and fight for a second round.
When fighting on horseback, strength-based Bosses naturally had a great advantage. Therefore, even a balanced Boss like Zhao Yun's Strength was definitely not low!
A Boss like Xiahou Yuan, whose agility was almost twice as high as his Strength, was really an anomaly.
However, considering that Xiahou Yuan had exquisite archery skills, he probably relied on archery skills to make a living. He rarely fought one-on-one with the enemy. This Six Directions Saber Technique was probably used to deal with the miscellaneous soldiers in a chaotic battle.
Bai Xiaowen didn't let the winged cavalry attack Xiahou Yuan.
Strictly speaking, Xiahou Yuan's ability to fight head-on was not particularly strong. Among the famous Bosses in the Three Kingdoms dimension, he was one of the weaker ones. His value was more in terms of strategy. His long-distance attack didn't affect morale, and his stamina consumption was extremely low. His strategic value was immeasurable.
Therefore, there was no need to let the winged cavalry participate in the battle and lower his evaluation. The White Phoenix Battle Team was enough to deal with him.
Li Shuyi filled in the gap of the Skeleton Warriors and surrounded Xiahou Yuan to fight. The ten Skeletal Archers took the opportunity to shoot and slowly whittled away Xiahou Yuan's HP.
After fighting for about ten minutes, Xiahou Yuan's HP finally hit rock bottom! His saber was also sent flying by Li Shuyi. He lost his ability to fight and was knocked off his horse by the Butcher's hammer.
"Just kill him," Bai Xiaowen said.
Famous Bosses in the Three Kingdoms could be captured. For example, Xiahou Yuan now only had a few dozen HP left and was heavily injured.
However, Bai Xiaowen didn't want to do that. Xiahou Yuan was Cao Cao's cousin and brother-in-law. Their relationship was too close! There was no way he would surrender. It was better to kill him.
