Chapter 6991 The fisherman gets a profit
At the last moment, Wu Xi squeezed out all his strength, prepared to perish together with his opponent, and punched through Helian Tuomiao, but he did not touch the opponent's body. His eyes hesitated for a moment, and then he felt the wind of the blade coming from behind.

He turned around, ready to take them both down with him, but as he turned, he was beheaded from the side. As his head fell, Wu Xi saw clearly that Helian Tuomiao, who was fighting him, was faintly translucent.

Helian Tuomiao, who had just beheaded Wu Xi, calmly sheathed his sword and walked forward, unaware that Wu Xi, whose head had fallen to the ground, had not left the scene.

Wu Xi was stunned for a moment, but the pain in his will made him unable to think about these things. After all, Helian Tuomiao's willpower was beyond the limit in normal mode. Even if he cheated by some means, the strength of his willpower in a single attack was not considered exceptional.

But after all, it was based on breaking the limits of will. Even if Wu Xi had a mind-based defense and a very strong will, this decapitation would be enough to severely injure him. It was only because Wu Xi had endured too many will attacks over the years, and the Three Idiots' implosion move was also essentially a damage to the will level, that he had a higher tolerance for such trauma than most people.

Of course, even with so many prerequisites, if Wu Xi were to be beheaded by the Willpower Breaker, he would probably need to recuperate for several months. And that's only because Wu Xi's individual spiritual power is indeed quite formidable. If it were a normal sixth-level Xiliang Iron Cavalryman, he would be in a vegetative state for at least half a year.

"Zhang Er, I was killed by the Xiongnu. Damn it, I would have preferred to die by your hand. Be careful, the other side is not simple." After Wu Xi's head fell to the ground, he realized that he was not completely dead. He immediately activated the spiritual power left behind by Zhang Yong to prevent Zhang Yong from recovering and transformed it into the information that Wu Xi wanted to tell Zhang Yong. His words were filled with obvious resentment.

"Ah, you were killed by the Xiongnu? No, what kind of Xiongnu could kill you so quickly?" Zhang Yong used a single miracle to maintain Wu Xi's remaining idealistic power, and even called upon infinite transformations to inject new sources into this power.

"It should be the Xiongnu that Her Highness the Princess and Marquis Chen mentioned. He is the Xiongnu's minor king. I thought he hadn't arrived yet. No, I released a large-scale shockwave earlier and couldn't detect him. He's only one or two kilometers away from you now." With Zhang Yong's power injected, Wu Xi, although not fully recovered, could at least continue to communicate.

“I didn’t notice it either.” Zhang Yong sensed it and found that Helian Tuomiao was not present in his area of ​​authority.

"It's over. The other side had counter-surveillance. They chopped my head off, but for some reason, I can't leave the battlefield. I'm trying to figure out how to get my body to move back to my head." Wu Xi said somewhat dejectedly. He and Zhang Yong were at most exchanging blows within the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but what kind of bastards were the Xiongnu? This was an important, precious treasure used to whitewash their reputation, and they ended up killing each other.

Zhang Yong instantly realized what had happened. When he still had the Great Law Divine Weapon, he had drained a seventh-level demon god dry and sealed off the surrounding area into a death zone from which no one could escape, all in order to catch the Xiongnu prince that Chen Xi had mentioned, who was running towards him.

So, the Xiongnu failed to capture Wu Xi, but they did capture him instead, right?

"Stop struggling, you're already dead. It's my power that's keeping you in a half-dead state." After realizing this, Zhang Yong quickly relayed the information.

"Holy crap, what do we do now?" Wu Xi's upturned head looked incredibly ferocious at that moment. "I was planning to use this guy to clean up my dirty laundry!"

"There's nothing I can do. According to the rules, you're already out of the game. It's up to me now." Zhang Yong chuckled. "Go in peace. I'll avenge you."

Without the supermodel-like spiritual power left by Wu Xi in Zhang Yong's wound, Zhang Yong has plenty of ways to treat this injury. Once he recovers, it doesn't matter what kind of thing comes at him. What kind of strange talent is it? It's all meaningless; death is inevitable!
"Second brother, give me a hand." Wu Xi suddenly said to Zhang Yong in a very formal tone.

"You're dead, it's time to leave the stage!" Zhang Yong said with a smile.

“I know you must have a way to bring me back to life,” Wu Xi said in a deep voice. The title was very important to him, and he also had his own son. Even if he could endure it, he couldn’t help but want to give his son another chance. After all, as long as his sins were cleared, the future of the Marquis of Guannei would be promising.

Zhang Yong was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Because it was a communication at the level of will, Zhang Yong could clearly feel Wu Xi's sincerity. What was going on? This bastard was actually being so polite; he couldn't quite accept it.

"The thing that could revive you, you smashed it to pieces." Wu Xi's request for help was so sincere that even Zhang Yong, who was just having fun, knew what was important. Besides, while he could play around, Wu Xi and Zhang Ping, who had fought alongside him on the battlefield, were people he couldn't mess around with for serious matters.

"Huh?" Wu Xi was stunned.

This isn't Zhang Yong spouting nonsense; it's the truth. With the Great Law and Divine Spear in hand, he could simply burn the Demon God and forcibly revive Wu Xi. Without this lever, it's not impossible for Zhang Yong to revive Wu Xi himself, but that would be enough to completely drain him!
Although Zhang Yong thought that once he recovered, this Great Martial Arts World would be his playground, the Xiongnu who could kill Wu Xi in a few blows was definitely not to be underestimated. If he really squeezed out all the power of miracles, Zhang Yong was not confident that he could defeat his opponent, after all, Zhang Yong was at the sixth level, not the seventh level.

"This..." Because of the connection of wills, Wu Xi could also feel that Zhang Yong was not deceiving him. After all, nonsense is nonsense, and fighting is fighting, but these cowardly brothers are still reliable when it comes to important matters.

“I can sense that you have another plan, but you’re reluctant to talk about it,” Wu Xi asked Zhang Yong after a moment of silence.

Zhang Yong glanced at the two-winged, one-horned nightmare beast beside him out of the corner of his eye. It was only thanks to Wu Xi lying dead in the forest that Wu Xi understood what was going on with just that one glance.

“That plan isn’t good, because this is serious business, not entertainment, so let’s forget about it. I will help you get revenge and capture the other party alive,” Zhang Yong sighed.

“I need to clear my name of past sins, so I don’t care about the plan. I have to gain enough merit in the process of killing or capturing him alive. You should understand that most of us are not like you,” Wu Xi said bluntly.

“It’s not a good method,” Zhang Yong said frankly. “It’s essentially just a form of entertainment, and I’m afraid you might not be able to accept it.”

"It's alright. I'll regret missing out on the Xiongnu chieftain because of my mistake this time," Wu Xi said calmly.

"Alright, then read it with me." Zhang Yong sighed and said. Playing is one thing, but business is another. Since Wu Xi still wanted to move forward even after all this talk, there was nothing he could do.

"It seems to be a very troublesome method." Wu Xichang breathed a sigh of relief; it's good that there's a solution.

"Under the witness of the Imperial Will..." Zhang Yong released the suppression of his injuries and first solved Wu Xi's problem. Turning the top-level sevenfold smelting into cattle and horses, and into weapons and equipment, was not so simple. It was the result of multiple effects of miracles, oaths, and the Imperial Will.

"Alright, I'll use the contract to pull you over once I've recovered." Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief; he was already mentally prepared to turn Wu Xi into an outer armor.

"Okay." Wu Xi's calm voice barely managed to retract the power of his mind, and at the last moment he said to Zhang Yong, "Thank you."

"Tch." Wu Xi withdrew his last wisp of idealistic power, leaving behind that one utterance. Zhang Yong gave a mocking smile. Was it really necessary to be so pretentious?
"Never mind, let's heal the injuries first." Zhang Yong was too lazy to think about why Wu Xi, such a tough and true man, had become like this. What he needed to do now was to recover quickly.

From Zhang Yong's perspective, there's really nothing to say about Wu Xi being killed. In his view, Wu Xi was just unlucky to be killed before he could even recover.

As for the nonsense about whether Helian Tuomiao, the chieftain of the Northern Xiongnu, was strong or not, it was a joke to Zhang Yong. As long as he recovered, unless the opponent was a powerhouse who had broken through the realm, they would all die today. Moreover, in a while, Wu Xi would transform into armor, and Zhang Yong would only become stronger.

"Wu Xi has left the stage," Chen Xi said, speechless.

“It’s normal. He went and provoked Zhang Yong, got beaten up like that, and then just happened to run into a tough Xiongnu. It’s only natural that he was killed.” Li You had an expression that said he had seen this kind of stupid thing many times before.

“Helian Tuomiao’s talent seems a bit off,” Huangfu Song suddenly said.

"What?" Chen Xi glanced at Helian Tuomiao, but didn't see anything wrong. "At most, he's like Qiu Linnian, with an illusion coating and self-awareness. What's wrong with that?"

“No, it’s not a problem with the illusion coating, it’s something else.” Huangfu Song stared in the direction of Helian Tuomiao. “I have a vague recollection of this; it seems to be a possibility for a certain talent.”

"But I think that thing is just an illusion," Han Xin asked with some doubt.

"I'm trying to recall the original setting and development direction of the talent 'Illusion.' I remember someone mentioning it to me before, but I can't quite remember it now." Huangfu Song frowned as he watched Helian Tuomiao stride towards Zhang Yong. Some long-dead memories were attacking Huangfu Song fiercely, but he just couldn't recall them.

"What else could an illusion be?" Han Xin asked, looking puzzled.

“Essentially, it’s just a split thought, only now it carries other things.” Sun Wu looked at Helian Tuomiao. He had truly seen something new today. This generation of veterans was really fierce, incredibly fierce. If these people were to become demon gods, they would be even more terrifying.

"A split thought?" Huangfu Song's memories began to return. He had remembered some things, but he was still not very clear about them. He couldn't quite recall who told him about it, nor could he remember the exact content. He just remembered that this thing was quite important.

"Is Zhang Yong's injury serious?" Chen Xi asked Li You.

“Wu Xi is dead. Without his idealistic interference, Zhang Yong’s injuries can be healed.” Li You said calmly. “The biggest problem that prevented Zhang Yong from recovering from his injuries before was that Wu Xi’s idealism locked onto the reality of his injuries, preventing Zhang Yong from healing.”

"Aren't you going to do anything about the infighting within the Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" Liu Tong glanced at Li You and said, "Wu Xi's strength, judging from his previous performance, was definitely top-tier at the seventh level. Yet he was wasted in this infighting. With a formidable enemy at hand, why are you still fighting amongst yourselves?"

"Well, this was an accident," Li You explained to Liu Tong with a helpless expression. "Wu Xi had actually used shock detection at the beginning. He and Zhang Yong both have wide-range detection capabilities, but Helian Tuomiao wasn't in their precise detection range at the time."

Actually, there is another very important point. Wu Xi and Zhang Yong both received information that the Xiongnu were moving in this direction, but they did not find the Xiongnu. This means that the Xiongnu were far away from them. Given their strength, would they be worried that they could defeat the Xiongnu but not the Xiongnu?

In addition, both offspring possess regenerative abilities. Wu Xi's life imprint can recover given time, and Zhang Yong is even more so, as he can recreate Rome's Infinite Serpent at any time by expending the power of miracles.

So neither of them took the Xiongnu seriously, well, they didn't even consider the other side as human.

Who could have known that the Xiongnu were actually only a dozen kilometers away from them? If they had been any closer, Wu Xi's shockwave detection would have at least detected a powerful figure running towards them.

But Wu Xi is not Chen Hong. When conducting shockwave reconnaissance over a distance of more than ten kilometers, unless there is a precise direction, it can only detect large-scale enemy forces. To accurately detect elite individuals with counter-reconnaissance capabilities, Wu Xi's method can only sweep a radius of ten kilometers.

To be fair, this is already a strategic-level capability, but who can blame them when Helian Tuomiao's mobility is so extraordinary? Seeing two missiles colliding from more than ten kilometers away, he immediately unleashed his talent, rushing over with maximum mobility and killing Wu Xi.

Of course, there's an element of getting a bargain involved, but Wu Xi's talent set really can't beat Helian Tuomiao. Even if he's completely unharmed, Helian Tuomiao can still fight and move against Wu Xi. This incredible mobility is the reason why Helian Tuomiao is the only Xiongnu person to survive in the Grand Martial Arts Arena!

"Hmph!" Liu Tong crossed his arms, habitually patted them, and then stared in the direction of Helian Tuomiao.

"Capture him alive? I know you have the ability to capture him alive." Li You transmitted his voice to Zhang Yong, who was pretending to receive treatment but whose chest wound showed no signs of healing, through Chen Xi's channel.

Liu Tong glanced at Li You. Because Chen Xi's channel was shared with Liu Tong today, Liu Tong could hear Li You's telepathic messages.

"Be careful that the opponent doesn't lose their internal energy," Li You warned as a final reminder.

"Don't worry, he'll die even if he breaks through the barrier!" Zhang Yong said with a sneer, sitting on the rock with his huge wound, waiting for Helian Tuomiao to appear.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yong, who was healing his wounds. Zhang Yong looked weak and listless as he looked at Helian Tuomiao. Of course, with such a large wound, blood had soaked the boulder, and he looked like he was about to die. There was no need for him to act.

Even so, Zhang Yong still exerted a real pressure on Helian Tuomiao when he raised his eyes. There was no doubt that this was a top-notch expert, even stronger than the one he had picked up before.

"Helian Tuomiao, the chief of the Xiongnu," Helian Tuomiao spoke first, which could be seen as a sign of respect for the powerful figure who was about to bring about the downfall of the Han dynasty.

"Zhang Yong, 100th Commander of the Han Iron Cavalry Headquarters." Zhang Yong's face was pale, and he even seemed somewhat weak, but his voice revealed a strong sense of confidence.

Helian Tuomiao nodded, and then in the next instant, Zhang Yong saw the tip of the short gun piercing through his back.

Zhang Yong coughed up blood, turned his head to look behind him, and in the sunlight, he clearly saw Helian Tuomiao's somewhat illusory body. Then, to Helian Tuomiao's astonishment, he slowly stood up despite such terrible injuries.

“You’re a bit too hasty.” Zhang Yong stood up, but before he could launch an attack, Helian Tuomiao behind him had already disappeared. Then, there was only one figure in front of him, which instantly split into two and appeared beside Zhang Yong at a speed that was difficult for Zhang Yong’s dynamic vision to catch.

Two large swords slashed at Zhang Yong in an X-shape, almost splitting him in two. But Zhang Yong remained completely calm. This time, he didn't even bother to act. No blood seeped from the wounds, as if the swords had struck dead flesh.

Helian Tuomiao instantly reappeared in roughly the same spot as before, looking solemnly at Zhang Yong, who, despite having suffered a fatal attack, seemed completely unharmed, even his previous weakness had vanished.

"Let's have a good fight." As he spoke, Zhang Yong's injuries and damage healed at a speed visible to Helian Tuomiao, as if time had reversed. His voice, which was originally weak, gradually became louder. More importantly, the power that was almost like the aftereffects of death before was now greatly increased, surging, and breaking through the limits that Helian Tuomiao had never seen before.

"A time-based talent?" Helian Tuomiao looked at Zhang Yong with a solemn expression. After all, when Tien was defeated by Xue Zhou, he brought a message that the Han Dynasty had a time-based talent. Therefore, seeing Zhang Yong recover so smoothly, and even the bloodstains that had been congealed on the boulder disappeared, he couldn't help but think so.

Zhang Yong didn't answer. How could it be a time-based talent? Although it wasn't impossible to use the power of time to reverse injuries, the consumption of that kind of power was completely not worth it. Of course, this was all an act. The bloodstains on the ground were all covered with advanced illusion maps of miracles. The injury recovery was all an act.

Zhang Yong isn't stupid. Why would he waste his recovery time waiting for his opponent to come and fight for his life?
Of course, it was Wu Xi who removed the idealism, and he recovered on the spot. All the wounds he saw afterward were just textures, but the textures were too sophisticated to be distinguishable!

"Alright, I'm recovered now, let's have a good fight!" Zhang Yong raised his spear, pointed it to the sky, and shouted, "Armor, come on!"

With such a roar, Wu Xi, who was moving his head two kilometers away, transformed into light and armor and flew towards Zhang Yong. He arrived at Zhang Yong's side in an instant and put on Zhang Yong's armor. As for the extra head, it transformed into the Suanni on his chest!
At this moment, Liu Tong and Chen Xi couldn't help but look at Li You, who remained expressionless.

"Although it's a bit outrageous, this gives me absolute confidence in Zhang Yong's abilities." Liu Tong coughed twice to indicate that she could accept this kind of weird stuff.

"Indeed, putting morality aside for now, the fact that he was strong is undeniable," Chen Xi echoed, at a loss for words.

"Hey Zhang Er, could that nightmare be Zhang San?" After Wu Xi transformed into armor and attached himself to Zhang Yong's outer armor, he received a miraculous power supply, and his condition improved a lot. Moreover, unlike when he dealt with Zhang, Wu Xi possessed the ability to sense and communicate.

“Some things are better left unsaid,” Zhang Yong said slowly.

"Why can't we say it? Didn't the boss and the others also become human warriors?" Wu Xi retorted, which silenced Zhang Yong. Zhang Ping didn't know about this, since he was either back in Xiliang as a captain or suffering from heat rash in Southeast Asia at the time. In any case, Zhang Ping didn't know, but Wu Xi did!
“That’s right, I’ll go and unmute Zhang Ping.” Zhang Yong thought for a moment and said, why did he feel pressured? Wasn’t this just a normal, eccentric thing to do for the people of Xiliang? No, wasn’t this a tradition of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry? Even their leader had transformed into a centaur!
The moment Zhang Yong lifted Zhang Ping's silencing, Zhang Ping unleashed a torrent of foul language. He stopped cursing as he discovered that Wu Xi, on whom he had placed so much hope, was also being worn by Zhang Yong.

"Why did you stop cursing?" Zhang Yong asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I am a Nightmare Beast, and I don't understand human language." Zhang Ping looked dejected, as if he had just accepted reality.

"What's going on?" Wu Xi asked curiously.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with me?" Zhang Ping replied simply.

"Is there a problem with turning into a nightmare?" Wu Xi asked, quite puzzled.

"Don't you think it's strange that you've become armored?" Zhang Ping asked rhetorically.

"What is there to say? True power lies in the Trinity!" Wu Xi replied firmly. "I feel a wild power surging from my body. This is the source of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's strength—the Trinity!"

Zhang Ping was rendered speechless, but he had to admit that the Trinity was indeed powerful.

"Chiron, the three-headed, six-armed evil god, is it?" Zhang Yong said speechlessly, then casually parried Helian Tuomiao's slash. To be honest, since completing the Trinity, Zhang Yong had been communicating with these two old brothers. As for Helian Tuomiao, did he know how to use Zhang Yong's miracle transformation to adjust Wu Xi's idealism and inject it into Zhang Ping's talent, and create something heaven-defying?

These are three level-seven combat-ready items. If they are successfully assembled, they can fight even those who have broken through boundaries head-on. No, considering Zhang Ping's extraordinary destructive power, if these three brothers combine and are willing to join forces against an enemy, they can even kill someone who has broken through boundaries.

　I'm recommending this book! The author has been hyped up a lot, and now they've released a new book, "Rebirth in 2012: I Can Reverse Time." This author has written several books already; their vitality is incredible.
