Chapter 2729 Journey to the West: Great Demon, Fighting Ghosts and Madmen
Ghost Blade Netherworld and Mad Axe Bull Tyrant, either one of them alone, is absolutely not someone to be trifled with; they are opponents that the vast majority of people in this world would find difficult to defeat.
Not to mention that the two have spent many years together, and their understanding and cooperation are already perfect. With the added boost from their combined skills, they could even put up a fight against a true god-level general like Lei Zhaohai.
However, what they encountered today was Huang Mei, one of the most fearless martial arts masters in the world.
"Ding! Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon Buddha's skill activated."
Demon Buddha: A Buddhist attendant who descends to the mortal realm and transforms into a demon, becoming both a Buddha and a demon, one in the same body. Those who possess the dual identity of demon and Buddha have a certain probability of awakening this skill, and the effect of awakening the skill varies from person to person.
Effect 1: When facing multiple attackers, your attack power increases by 2 for each attacker you face. When facing more than two attackers, your attack power increases by 1 for each additional attacker you face. This skill effect can provide a maximum attack power increase of 8 points.
Effect 2: After this skill is activated, when engaging in group battles, it will suppress the opponent's strength by one point for each enemy you face, up to a maximum of five points.
Effect 3: After this skill is activated, when the user is surrounded, if the opponent has any buffs that are not generated by the user alone, such as army-wide buffs or combo skills, the user can temporarily disable them so that they cannot be effective against the opponent.
Effect 4: In a one-on-one situation, one is immune to one-third of the negative skill effects received; when surrounded, one is immune to half of the negative skill effects received.
Effect 5: When this skill is activated, it can seal the weapon bonuses of all opponents when facing multiple enemies.
Huang Mei's Demon Buddha skill has five skills, and almost four and a half of them are related to group battles.
This skill alone determines that, while a siege would not be entirely meaningless for him, it would certainly be greatly diminished.
Let alone among high-ranking generals and below, even those above them, with such a powerful group battle skill, there are probably very few who can surpass Huang Mei in group battles.
"Ding! The Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon Buddha skill effect has been activated. When facing multiple people, his own martial power increases by 2 for each person he faces. The current Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon Buddha's martial power is +4, the base martial power is 108, the short soft wolf tooth club is +1, the golden dragon horse is +1, the martial god is +4, and the current martial power has increased to 118."
"Ding! The Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon Buddha's skill effect three has been activated. After this skill effect is activated, when surrounded, if the opponent has any amplifications other than those generated by themselves, such as army-wide amplifications or combo skills, it can be temporarily sealed, preventing them from having any effect on the opponent."
Mingyou's combat power -2, current combat power reduced to 119.
Niu Ba's combat strength has decreased by 2, bringing his current combat strength to 122.
"Ding! The fifth effect of the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon Buddha's skill has been activated. After this skill effect is activated, when facing multiple enemies, it can seal the weapon bonuses of all the opponents."
Mingyou's combat power -1, current combat power reduced to 118.
Niu Ba's combat strength has decreased by 1, bringing his current combat strength to 121.
"Ding! The second effect of the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon Buddha's skill has been activated. After this skill effect is activated, when engaging in group battles, it will suppress the opponent's strength by one point for each enemy, up to a maximum of five points."
Mingyou's combat power -2, current combat power reduced to 116.
Niu Ba's combat strength has decreased by 2, bringing his current combat strength to 119.
Faced with the combined attack of two renowned generals of the Great Qian Dynasty, Huang Mei showed no fear whatsoever. Instead of retreating, he advanced, swinging his spiked club in a wide arc. The bloodlust on the club suddenly surged, and dark golden light flowed between the fangs, like a beast awakening.
Instead of parrying, Huang Mei slammed his club directly into the side of Ming You's blade. Sparks flew as the club clashed, and the Nine Nether Soul-Slaying Blade was sent flying outwards. Using the force of the recoil, the club's trajectory continued, its end sweeping towards Niu Ba's waist. Niu Ba's double-edged axe was already halfway down when he couldn't change his move in time, so he could only hold the axe horizontally to take the blow head-on.
"clang!"
The loud noise made his eardrums ache, and Niu Ba's arms sank as he was thrown to the left by the shock.
The reaction force from the clash of weapons caused both men and their horses to stagger back two steps.
"What brute strength!" Huang Mei shook his slightly numb arm and exclaimed in surprise.
Although he used the recoil from his fight with Mingyou to swing his staff during the collision, he didn't accumulate enough power.
However, the opponent was also forced to change tactics midway, and this move was also unlikely to be a full-force attack.
Under such circumstances, the fact that he could be directly repelled shows that the name "Mad Axe Bull Overlord" is indeed well-deserved; his brute strength alone is worthy of the title.
Niu Ba was equally alarmed. His greatest strength lay in his power. Although Ming You was stronger than him, when the two joined forces, he would still be the primary attacker. This was simply because his strength made him better suited for this role.
However, after that collision, both of them were forced to take two steps back, indicating that he probably didn't have much of an advantage over his opponent in terms of strength.
"However, you two old geezers, at your advanced age, still dare to show off on the battlefield. It's time for you to be eliminated by this era!"
"Now take a hit from your Yellow-Eyebrow Grandpa!" Although Yellow-Eyebrow was somewhat surprised by Niu Ba's strength, he still shouted fiercely and attacked head-on.
Strength is indeed a very important factor in measuring a general's combat power, but it is far from the only factor. Moreover, the opponent's strength only surprised him.
Huang Mei was confident that as long as the two men didn't run away, he could keep them both under control in a short time.
Simply put, the age difference between the two parties is already a huge influencing factor.
Of the two, the slightly younger Ghost Blade Netherworld is already over forty, while the older Mad Axe Bull Demon is approaching fifty.
These powerful warriors, whose strength accounts for a huge proportion of their martial arts, are also the type of warriors most severely affected by age.
Even if a powerful warrior like Mad Axe Bull Overlord hasn't lost his fighting prowess by this age, his stamina will definitely be greatly affected, making him unable to compete in prolonged battles as he did in his youth.
In this respect, a power-type warrior cannot compare with a skill-type warrior, and the gap is not small.
Whether facing the decline of martial arts or the ability to fight a protracted battle as one ages, skill-based warriors far surpass strength-based warriors.
As Huang Mei swung his spiked club, a blinding light burst forth from the club's teeth, emanating a dark golden blood aura. He spurred his horse's flanks, and the warhorse neighed as it charged toward the two men.
"Ding, Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon's skill activated..."
