Chapter 2587 The Blood-Transforming Flying Knife Appears, Jiang Chen Finally Enters the Battle

Although Leonidas was a surrendered general, he was a famous and fierce general of the Eastern Yi people.

Even on a global scale, he would be considered somewhat famous, a notable figure on the Four Directions Fiends Ranking. However, his ranking isn't high, placing him outside the top forty.

Of course, once the latest Dragon and Tiger Rankings and the Four Directions Fiends Rankings are released, Leonidas will likely be removed from the Four Directions Fiends Ranking and moved into the Dragon and Tiger Rankings.

These two lists do not consider the ethnicity of the individuals born into, but only which faction they are loyal to.

When Leonidas went out of the city to challenge them, Ji Chengfu did not send out his trump card, Jiang Chen, but instead sent Yu Hua to fight first.

The Great Qian Suspended Mirror Division was quite powerful, and they also knew that the strongest general under their command was not Leonidas, but Zhu Quan, so of course they would not send Jiang Chen directly at the beginning.

After that battle, Jiang Chen was no longer an unknown figure. He could no longer use his lack of fame to catch others off guard as he had half a month ago.

As the war drums thundered, Yu Hua, having received the order, urged his Fiery-Eyed Beast to charge out of the formation gate, dragging the halberd behind it. The horse's hooves kicked up dust, and the halberd's blade gleamed coldly.

"State your name! I do not slay nameless ghosts with my spear!" Leonidas shouted in a stiff, foreign accent when someone accepted the challenge.

At the same time, Leonidas lowered his center of gravity slightly, held his round shield in front of him, and pulled his spear back, assuming a classic Spartan fighting stance, like a cheetah ready to pounce.

With Zhu Quan backing him up in today's battle, even if he couldn't win, his life wouldn't be in danger. Therefore, he chose to fight on foot rather than on horseback.

While he possesses god-general-level strength in mounted combat, his combat power is vastly different from that in foot combat.

"Yu Hua of the Great Qian Dynasty has come to take your head!" Yu Hua shouted in response.

His horse did not slow down. When he got close, he suddenly exerted force with both arms, and the heavy halberd swung up with a sharp crescent-shaped cold light, using the horse's momentum to slash down fiercely at Leonidas.

This strike was powerful and heavy, with a whooshing sound, clearly intended to seize the initiative with sheer force.

"Ding, Yu Hua Divine Halberd skill activated."

Divine Halberd is the top-tier skill for halberd-type generals. It can be upgraded from the Halberd Courage and Halberd Might skills. The effect of activating the skill varies depending on the character. It can be further upgraded to the true god skill, Halberd God.

Effect 1: When fighting with a halberd, your own attack power increases by 5.

Effect 2: Increases attack power by 1 for every five melee attacks, up to 4 times, lasting for 20 rounds.

Effect 3: When fighting against halberd-wielding generals, if their base martial strength is lower than yours, you will additionally suppress their martial strength by 1 to 2 points.

When the Yu Hua Divine Halberd skill is activated, while fighting with the halberd, the user's attack power increases by 5, base attack power is 105, Fangtian Halberd increases by 1, Fiery Eyes Golden Beast increases by 1, Martial God increases by 4, and current attack power rises to 116.

Upon hearing the name of the newcomer, Leonidas's eyes narrowed. Instead of directly confronting the attack, he swiftly shifted to the side, his round shield deftly meeting the attack head-on.

Yu Hua and his master Yu Yuan are both famous figures in the Great Qian Dynasty and even in the world, and they are both listed on the list of the Hundred Poisons of the World.

When facing an enemy like this, anyone would naturally be on high alert.

"Ding! The effect of Leonidas's Blood Spear skill has been activated. When fighting generals, attack power increases by 4; when charging into battle, attack power increases by 5."

Leonidas's current strength is +4, base strength is 105, equipment is +1, and War God is +4, bringing his current strength to 114. "Clang!" Shield and halberd clashed, sparks flying.

Leonidas swayed slightly, dust swirling around his feet, but he steadily caught the earth-shattering blow. More accurately, Leonidas skillfully neutralized most of the force of the blow.

Almost simultaneously with the parry, Leonidas' right arm shot out like a viper emerging from its hole, his spear thrusting out from behind the shield, aiming directly at the opening created by Yu Hua's swing of the halberd. The speed and the angle were so sharp that they fully demonstrated his honed combat skills.

Yu Hua's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly parried with his halberd.

"Clang!" The halberd shaft barely blocked the spear tip, and a sharp force penetrated through, making his arm slightly numb.

Yu Hua was secretly amazed by Leonidas's skillful reaction and coordination; the shield defense and spear attack were perfectly integrated and without any hesitation.

The two immediately engaged in battle. Yu Hua's halberd swept across the battlefield with wide, sweeping movements, like a whirlwind sweeping away leaves, demonstrating an extremely skillful combination of strength and technique.

He knew that Leonidas's shield was extremely strong, but the small round shield in Leonidas's hand could not ultimately protect his entire body. Therefore, Yu Hua's attacks were mostly aimed at Leonidas's upper, middle and lower body, with continuous halberd techniques, trying to overwhelm his opponent with power and the complexity of his moves, and find a weakness.

Leonidas, who was skilled in defense, was extremely wary of Yu Hua's special abilities, who was ranked on the list of the most poisonous creatures. He adhered to the principle of "better to make no progress than to make a mistake," and defended himself flawlessly.

He was like a rock in a turbulent current, using a round shield as his foundation, moving swiftly and steadily, always able to parry or deflect the halberd's edge with minimal effort.

In fact, Leonidas's occasional probing counterattacks, with his spear thrust out, often left Yu Hua scrambling to defend himself.

After more than forty rounds, Yu Hua, who had been relentlessly attacking and whose energy was being greatly depleted, began to find himself unable to hold on any longer.

Before long, he began to lose ground.

Although both are beginner-level divine generals, Leonidas in foot combat mode is definitely one of the best among beginner-level divine generals.

In contrast, Yu Hua was able to gain fame, or rather infamy, in the Great Qian Dynasty and even throughout the world, entirely thanks to his Blood Transformation Divine Blade technique.

Without the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, relying solely on halberd techniques, his level among low-level divine generals would be relatively ordinary.

Of course, besides the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, he also has other unique skills, but they consume a lot of his internal energy and he will not use them unless absolutely necessary.

Unable to gain the upper hand after a prolonged battle, and even beginning to fall into a disadvantageous position, Yu Hua, unable to do anything to Leonidas, could only feign defeat and retreat in an attempt to lure Leonidas into pursuit, and then unexpectedly unleash the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.

However, Leonidas was not the kind of reckless man who would act impulsively. How could he possibly pursue Yu Hua, a cavalry general, without riding a warhorse?

Furthermore, Leonidas remained highly vigilant in the face of the infamous Yu Hua.

Even though Yu Hua's feigned defeat failed, he still forced himself to use his sect's ultimate technique, the Chemical Divine Blade, at the last moment. However, facing Leonidas, who was already prepared, he was easily blocked by Leonidas's shield.

Generals who use shields are, to some extent, quite effective against generals who use concealed weapons or bows and arrows.

After Yu Hua's defeat, the Daqian side did not send any other divine generals to the battle, but Jiang Chen directly went to fight Leonidas.
