Chapter 6796 Friendly and Enemy

Chapter 6796 Friendly and Enemy
In a collision of this peak level, the slightest distraction could affect victory or defeat, not to mention that the Holy Death Knight would either have to endure the side effects of the hard-top enhancement, or expend more physical strength and energy in resisting the blessing of this external force. It can be said that no matter which choice is made, it means that the distribution of power cannot be optimal. In this kind of fight, failing to achieve the best result means death!

"The eighth one!" Zhu Tao swung the lance violently. Nine kinds of techniques, combined with the five basic talents, created a burst of power that could ensure that when Zhu Tao hit his opponent, he would kill him instantly, rather than requiring another attack.

However, such a fierce attack method also meant that every aspect of Zhu Tao's body had been pushed to the limit. The burden of integrating nine techniques together alone had caused his meridians, blood vessels, muscles and bones to send Zhu Tao a tingling sensation from time to time.

However, for Zhu Tao, this kind of pain made him feel more clearly that he was still alive, and more clearly realized that he was at his peak. Even though the blood flow rate had increased to the point that Zhu Tao could faintly hear the sound of blood flowing, and the heartbeat like a drum, seemed to suggest that the heart might jump out of the chest at any time, even with such pressure, this young body completely withstood the side effects.

The tip of the lance touched the spear of a Holy Death Cavalry Centurion. Just a contact and the Holy Death Cavalry Centurion felt as if struck by lightning. This was not just an adjective, but a real feeling of being numbed by lightning. Although he successfully blocked Zhu Tao's attack and did not die on the spot like the others, he also lost the power to resist at that moment.

During the encounter, Zhu Tao held the lance in his right hand and slashed at the Saint Death Cavalry Centurion's neck with the dagger in his left hand. Obviously, there was still a distance of more than two meters between the two. Holding the dagger and swinging with his left arm, Zhu Tao had no chance of hitting the Saint Death Cavalry Centurion on the opposite side. However, the moment Zhu Tao's left arm circle reached its peak, it turned into an afterimage and almost disappeared, while the sword blade extended towards the opposite centurion with a sonic boom and an extremely compressed sharp-angle shock wave.

At that moment, even the Holy Death Centurion, who maintained a miraculous posture, struggled desperately, but it was useless. Although he successfully blocked the previous attack, the shock and numbness in the joints of the whole body could not be dispelled instantly, so that facing this scene, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not change the reality that death was about to come.

At the same time, a dim golden blade of light extended towards Zhu Tao's left arm, as if Zhu Tao would not dodge and then cut off his left arm. This was a strategy of attacking Wei to save Zhao, but what happened next was completely beyond Peña's expectations.

Zhu Tao didn't dodge at all and completely ignored the attack. He killed the Holy Death Knight Centurion on the opposite side on the spot, and the front half of his left arm was directly cut off by the golden light blade.

The next moment, in Peña's shocked eyes, the severed half of the forearm was pulled back by Zhu Tao as the blood extended and connected, and then connected to the broken arm of Zhu Tao's left arm. Except for a spot of blood there, it was almost impossible to tell that Zhu Tao had just broken his arm.

"Ardashir must be very sad to kill you. I heard his story. You must be one of the so-called living foundations of the Parthian Empire?" Zhu Tao looked at Peña expressionlessly. "You are qualified to be the tenth person I need to kill."

"That depends on whether you have the ability to do so." Peña looked at Zhu Tao with the same indifference. As Zhu Tao said, he was the living legacy of the Parthian Empire, the carrier of the Parthian Empire's special talents, and the key to Ardashir's replica of his talents.

When the top empires are destroyed, they will leave behind this kind of living foundation. This is the puzzle piece that allows them to rise again. After all, some talents are too rare. Without a carrier of inheritance, it will be very difficult for future generations to replicate them even if they want to.

The Parthian Empire had it, and so did the Huns who died again and again. There is no such thing, so forget about reviving it.

Zhu Tao smiled. The first time he saw Peña, he knew that the other party was a living carrier of talent. He once had the opportunity to become such a carrier in that era, but unfortunately he found a more suitable partner later. Later, the Han Empire seemed to no longer need such a thing.

“Just make sure it’s a living carrier.” Zhu Tao looked at Peña with a carefree smile, and without waiting for Peña’s reaction, he directly activated the Demon Disintegration. Unlike most veterans who could not control the power after activating the Demon Disintegration, Zhu Tao could integrate this power into his own skills almost perfectly.

"Die." Zhu Tao rushed directly towards Peña. Even if it was a big empire, one less person would be better.

By this time, Pena had realized that the situation was not good, so he raised his hand and used the Indestructible Defense passed down from the Persian Empire. However, this terrifying thing that was said to have an unbreakable will and an unbreakable defense still failed to stop Zhu Tao. Of course, Pena's defense was not broken either. He flew directly from the warhorse with the eggshell, like an egg yolk wrapped in an eggshell.

"Defensive accumulation?" Zhu Tao's left hand, which was used to throw the punch, was shattered and fractured. Looking at Peña who flew backwards but seemed to be fine, he was not surprised. If this carrier of inheritance could be killed so easily, how could it be called the foundation of the empire?

"But it doesn't matter." Zhu Tao raised his foot and stepped on Peña's warhorse. Even though it was a mount that could be called a precious horse, it let out a whine in an instant, and its entire back was broken into a V shape. Then Zhu Tao rushed towards Peña with his lance.

This time, the tip of the lance only passed a few dozen centimeters in front of Peña, and Peña showed a look of panic. The pure physical attack directly cut through the immortal defense. What kind of beast is this!
"Are you surprised? It's just the accumulation of defense. The attack I'm using now is truly powerful enough to cut through everything." A hint of mockery appeared in Zhu Tao's eyes that were indifferent to life and death. The fifth lieutenant of the Southern Army was indeed strong enough. His accumulation of defense was indeed against the sky. After decades of accumulation, he could withstand a few attacks from him, but only a few!
Using a lance to deliver a slash powerful enough to cut molecular bonds is something that even the older brother who created the Hanguang Sword didn't dare to think of. Only a seventy-year-old like Zhu Tao, who has mastered almost all talents, can simulate them with skills, and recover to the peak of his twenties, can use it.

Without the former, the power released by the disintegration of the demon could not be controlled and could not be perfectly injected into the Han Guang Sword. Without the latter, if this was done, it would explode on the spot.

The burning red and purple lance exploded and penetrated Peña's indestructible defense in just three strikes. Then it chopped down on his head with almost unmatched cutting power. Two fragments flew to the left and right. It seemed that Peña had been killed by Zhu Tao.

However, as a person born in the Central Imperial Guard, he has seen all kinds of outrageous things. To put it bluntly, a freak like Su Zong has also worked under Zhu Tao. How could he not know that there are people in this world who are not good at fighting but have a first-class talent for saving their lives? Therefore, he completely ignored the two fragments flying to the left and right, and continued to swing the lance, stabbing in the direction of his intuition.

This time, Peña fought back for the first time. He had no choice but to continue using life-saving tricks, and he could not escape. He had already changed into three very special life-saving talents. Either he could not withstand it, or he could not deceive, or he could not hide. In this case, he could only do two things.

As for fighting to the death with Zhu Tao, Peña is not stupid. The opponent has an explosive talent, so he just needs to drag him away. There is no need to risk his life.

However, Zhu Tao was waiting for this moment. When Peña's spear stabbed at him, he did not dodge and allowed the other party to pierce him. The disintegration of the demon had already begun, and death was inevitable.

Zhu Tao didn't want to figure out how Guangyuan managed to survive, but he knew that he would not be able to survive, so he only cared about whether the other party continued to hide like a gopher. If so, he really had no good solution.

The fault tolerance brought by the accumulated defense, the delay brought by the death avoidance type talents, and the rare anti-lock type talent structure result in Zhu Tao only being able to attack based on intuition. Once the opponent leaves the battle, Zhu Tao will die within a few tens of seconds. Indeed, in these few tens of seconds, Zhu Tao can also take away more than a dozen Holy Death Knights.

The problem is that Zhu Tao has already seen the Holy Death Knight, and there are many people in the next generation who can deal with it. Moreover, the Holy Death Knight cannot kill its creator. As long as the other party still has the blood-forming function, it will recover sooner or later. But the Pena in front of him is different. This is one of the living inheritances of the Parthian Empire. Killing one will mean one less, and it may even directly lead to the extinction of certain talents.

Therefore, what Zhu Tao was most worried about was that Peña would run away after failing to win. Such a life-saving carrier would be difficult to kill even for him. Unexpectedly, the opponent actually jumped out and fought to the death with him.

What a joke. I, Zhu Tao, am afraid that you will stab me?
A bullet pierced Zhu Tao, and Peña smiled, not worrying that he would die together with Zhu Tao. He had realized that Zhu Tao's explosive talent could not be maintained for long, and if he wanted to run away, the other side would have no good way to deal with him.

But since he jumped out, he must be absolutely sure.

When this spear hits the opponent, it will bring with it a huge amount of knowledge shock. This is the inheritance method of the Parthian Empire's talent. It is the spear of will and the spear of knowledge. It is part of the empire's inheritance, but the person who is stabbed will be shaken by the huge invasion of knowledge and the subsequent shock of will.

This is a forced brainwashing technique that relies on the flushing of knowledge and the impact of will to directly influence the inheritor from the root. Conversely, this thing is undoubtedly a top-level means of attack.

Even Zhu Tao, who was determined to fight to the death, was affected by the spear. The lance that was originally aimed at Peña paused for a moment, and then Peña escaped calmly.

"Sure enough, the Spear of Knowledge is really useful." Peña was carrying the spear and preparing to leave, but at this moment, Peña was suddenly hit by a heavy punch on the back. Even with the protection of armor, Peña was knocked to his knees on the spot. It was Zhu Tao's shattered left arm.

“Ten…” Zhu Tao coughed up blood, his eyes switching between confusion and clarity. He walked with heavy and shaky steps towards Peña, who had fallen to the ground with a high probability of a broken heart but was trying to save himself by relying on super-speed recovery. However, he fell down after only a few steps.

"Damn it..." Peña spat out blood and climbed up with difficulty. In a battlefield like this, even if he and Zhu Tao were far away from the core area, it would be normal for others to pick up their heads if they fell down. And as a noble living inheritance, Peña had a considerable status under Ardashir. How could he be willing to die here?

"No, you are the one who deserves to die." Zhu Gai's big shield smashed on Peña's head, killing Peña who was seriously injured and dying and was undergoing treatment with one blow. Then Zhu Gai looked at his father lying in the mud and sighed. He knew it would be like this. His father had never planned to go back when he came here.

"Dad..." Zhu Beggar walked to Zhu Tao's side. At this time, they had basically suppressed the Holy Death Knights on the main battlefield. Just like Zhu Tao said, there were only so many Holy Death Knights. Why are you so scared? Just fight them head-on and kill them directly. What's there to be afraid of?

"That just now is counted on you. You'll get ten of them." Zhu Gai picked up Zhu Tao and said softly. When he saw the old man before, he realized that the old man had no intention of coming back. Even though he had many complaints about the old man, the old man was still his biological father after all.

When Zhu Tao heard this, he seemed to let go of his obsession and slowly closed his eyes. Zhu Gai carried Zhu Tao towards the crossing. He was actually also seriously injured, but he was young and could hold on.

"Die!" Peng Hong picked up the heavy flail he had picked up and kicked the lying Xu Yuan away, then he caught the Saint Death Riders who were rushing over by himself.

"Cough cough cough, Uncle Peng, survive!" When Xu Yuan was kicked out, he shouted at Peng Hong as hard as he could, but at this time, his voice was far less loud than before, and was even covered by the sound of rain. A centurion of the Holy Death Knights almost killed him.

"Live a shit!" Peng Hong turned his back to Xu Yuan, and all the muscles in his body trembled and swelled. His whole body shape became less coordinated. The huge swollen muscles, together with his lower limbs, formed an inverted triangle. Then the heavy flail was swung out by Peng Hong, making a subsonic scream and hitting the surrounding Holy Death Knights.

The Holy Death Knights have indeed been suppressed in the overall situation, but in some local areas, the top bosses still need to suppress them fearlessly to solve the problem. If they relax a little, they may be overturned by the Holy Death Knights. However, the old guys are not inferior to the Holy Death Knights in terms of ruthlessness or awareness, and even surpass them in many aspects.

In addition, Xu Huang arranged the troops in battle array and moved all the main forces through the tunnel as quickly as possible. Ardashir's idea of ​​driving the Han army out completely lost its basis for execution.

"They came out so soon?" Barak listened to the news sent by his liaison personnel with some emotion. You know, this mountain road is only 20 meters wide. To put it bluntly, it would take about a quarter of an hour for a batch of 20 people to pass through, or tens of thousands of people. As a result, despite Ardashir's blockade, Xu Huang still broke through the blockade of the mountain road on time.

"Yes." Canland replied quickly.

"Now it's up to us. To be honest, I actually want to have a fight with Ardashir. I want to go around here and encircle Ardashir and gamble on a complete victory." Barak turned his head to look at the officers under his command and said.

"This is indeed an opportunity." Upon hearing this, the other officers did not dare to respond. Only Cabech thought for a while and gave a positive answer.

"You are so brave. My father-in-law has many flaws, but his vision is worthy of recognition." Barak said with a smile, "Let's attack the city where Ardashir was stationed before, occupy it, and directly complete the previous strategic plan."

"But there..." Cabbage frowned.

"We can strangle Ardashir directly. If something unexpected happens, Ardashir may be defeated by us. But if we can't defend the northwest entrance of the Kabul Valley, everything we do will be basically meaningless and we won't be able to reverse the trend." Barak said with a chuckle.

Kabechi nodded when he heard this. He could understand this idea, but he was somewhat unhappy with it. In his opinion, this was indeed an opportunity, an opportunity that might annihilate Ardashir. To be honest, the entire Ardashir force did not even have an heir. As long as Ardashir could be annihilated, given the current situation in Kabul, as long as the Kushans did not have time to look north, this place would naturally be within Cao's reach.

However, what Barak said was very true. If an accident occurs during the battle against Ardashir, even if the Holy Death Knights are completely defeated and only a few dozen of them are left, what can they do? Ardashir is not dead yet, and the Holy Death Knights will at most have a problem with their blood-making function. Just like now, in the past five or six years, the Holy Death Knights have made thousands of blood. Although it is a bit slow, it is not completely impossible to recover blood.

After all, Ardashir's Heart Abyss can indeed create miracles. Although this miracle has now become a reality and is not as conceptual as before, a miracle is still a miracle after all. Even if it is a weakness, it is difficult for most people to deal with it.

"The problem is that it's not easy to take over there." Bellona said with a frown.

"This is where all of you fellow villagers come into play. Why did I bring you here? Do you understand?" Barak said with a smile. I, Barak, am in Herat and have no influence here. But I have appeared at the gate of your city and Ardashir has gone out. You can pretend to be ignorant even though you know the truth. Can't you do that?
"What about the subsequent encirclement and suppression?" Bellona frowned and said, "Ardashir is not stupid. If we get in here, there will be problems at the strategic level."

"That's a life-threatening situation." Barak said calmly.

I started saving up my drafts. The author is really screwed. I finally accumulated some combat power, but it’s gone to waste again.
