Volume 3: The Land of Jingchu Chapter 204: Snake Power
Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Spear!
At that time, Zhang Xiu used this trump card to make Lu Bu's eyes light up.
But it was not created by Zhang Xiu, but inherited from the lineage of the Spear God. Zhang Xiu learned this move from Tong Yuan...
It is different from the training methods of generals like Lu Bu, and seems to be from the lineage of the God of Spear, closer to martial artists. The training system is more complicated, or more delicate.
For example, the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" Spear is, in essence, actually a technique of using invisible spear power. After it is mastered, the invisible spear power can be unleashed from the whole body. The sound of friction with the air is like the chirping of countless birds, hence this name!
Although masters who come from a martial arts background can become fierce warriors on the battlefield after adaptation and training, their styles are different. They pay more attention to the subtle changes in moves, and are actually weaker in killing the enemy and protecting themselves on the battlefield.
A pure martial artist would not even go to Cheng Ji Mansion to obtain military tokens or armor. The difference in fighting styles between the two is obvious.
However, the fact that Zhang Xiu was able to use this move already showed that he had extraordinary attainments in martial arts and spearmanship.
However, facing the countless spear forces attacking him, the woodcutter stood still, still holding his spear, his eyes locked on Zhang Xiu in front of him. Countless dark golden spear forces "disappeared for no reason" one after another when they got within an inch of the woodcutter's body!
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu's expression froze for a moment, and then he used an impatient look to hide his guilty conscience. At the same time, he shook the Dark Gold Black Beak Spear even harder, making the Hundred Birds Spear's power attack the woodcutter more intensively and quickly.
However, the result was only to make the dull "bang bang" sounds more frequent - as if attacked by some kind of force, the power of the hundred birds' spears was offset as they approached the woodcutter, causing the cries of the hundred birds to gradually weaken...
"Only by using the armor can the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' be used? No... this kind of power driven by the armor forcibly is not the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' at all." The woodcutter's disappointed look stimulated Zhang Xiu even more.
Yes, the woodcutter’s words just hit Zhang Xiu’s sore spot - the real Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear is a move that can be released with the physical body.
However, Zhang Xiu himself could not do this at all. He came from a family of generals and started learning the body training methods in the army. After he got the armor, he became Tong Yuan's disciple. Therefore, it is inevitable that he is somewhat similar but not the same.
Although the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear seems to be extremely explosive, it actually requires extremely high skills. Zhang Xiu integrated it with his battlefield skills and changed his training method, which was reflected on the armor. This allowed him to use it with the help of the armor while wearing the armor... or in other words, he simulated the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear"!
Therefore, when Zhang Xiu saw the woodcutter using the power of his spear effortlessly to repel several guards, he was slightly moved - if it was just to this extent, Zhang Xiu could do it, but for a master like him, if he wanted to release the lethal power of his spear on such a large scale, he had to rely on armor.
"Can't you even figure out how to break the move? Armor can make up for weak skills, but what can make up for weak will?" The woodcutter shook his head in disappointment.
If you can observe the aura, you can see that there are six invisible giant pythons surrounding the woodcutter. As soon as the invisible spear energy as big as a flying bird approaches, it will be swallowed up one by one...
Just like the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear, it was also a technique for controlling invisible spear power, but... ...compared to the instantaneous splendor of the Hundred Birds Spear power, the woodcutter's "snake power" could flow in and out of his body at any time, and not only did the power circulate, but it could also move at will.
In comparison, the power of the Bainiaochaofeng Spear is like a "hidden weapon", like a stabbing out without the ability to control it, so it has an unstoppable momentum and power, but... in comparison, it is not as easy to use as the Woodcutter's Snake Power.
If you look closely, five seem to have parts of the woodcutter in their body, or are passing through him or have their tails connected to him, and the locations are clearly the five internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Only the smallest and most agile one was flying in the air around the woodcutter, without any interaction or energy consumption...
Even if Zhang Xiu had hundreds of birds, they would be just "prey" under the defense of six pythons and could not break through the woodcutter's snake-force defense.
"What kind of spear technique is this? Could it be... the state of endless power that Master has realized?" Zhang Xiu exclaimed.
Although he did not notice the giant python, Zhang Xiu realized that there was an endless spear force defending the woodcutter.
"I guess so." The woodcutter said, dissipating the snake-like strength in his body and throwing the gun back on the shelf.
His gun soul is not like some extreme swordsmen who pour a lot of emotion into weapons. To him... weapons are weapons, weapons of murder. It doesn't have any special meaning to use a gun or a hunting fork when there is no gun.
Seeing that the woodcutter looked like he had already won the game, Zhang Xiu moved his mouth, but nothing could be said.
Although Zhang Xiu could defeat the woodcutter in terms of speed and strength when wearing armor, the difference in skills was too great!
This is also why , although the woodcutter is not transcendent and his internal energy is not as strong as Lu Bu's, he can achieve half of Lu Bu's efficiency when refining the Artemisia annua potion.
"No wonder Master and Second Junior Brother said that your aptitude is better than mine and Second Junior Brother..." Zhang Xiu said with a bit of sadness, having already taken off his armor.
"No, it's not the difference in qualifications, but the fact that your gun has become dusty." The woodcutter walked down the martial arts field and said without looking back.
"Gun heart..." Zhang Xiu's eyes were a little confused, and then he looked at Jia Xu involuntarily.
Jia Xu seemed to understand what Zhang Xiu was. He sighed slightly and turned his head away.
Zhang Xiu's eyes gradually became firm.
Liu Ye seemed to sense that the situation was not good, and took the initiative to greet him and said, "General Zhang, the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
Zhang Xiu looked over at this time. His eyes were a little too sharp for a scholar. Liu Ye was also startled at first, but with the mental strength of a civil servant and Liu Ye being good at "bluffing", he managed not to show any emotion.
However, Zhang Xiu only said: "Go back and tell Cao Aman..."
Liu Ye's heart immediately sank. Just now he was "Prime Minister Cao", but now he became "Cao Man"? This change in attitude is self-evident, and...very resolute!
"Please remember the revenge for bullying my widowed aunt! If I am on the battlefield in the future, I will take his head. If Cao Aman welcomes the heavenly soldiers and avoids the war, I will also fight him as a common man!" Zhang Xiu said.
Liu Ye: …
So if Cao Cao wants to go to war with Bai Tu in the future, Zhang Xiu will have to kill Cao Cao on the battlefield. If Cao Cao surrenders in the future, Zhang Xiu will also duel with Cao Cao?
Liu Ye was unable to speak any more after hearing such irresistible words - he came to surrender, and if Zhang Xiu insulted him, Liu Ye could use his eloquence to make the other party change his mind, but if he insulted his own lord, Liu Ye would be unable to speak any more.
"General Zhang..." Zhu Zhi was already delighted upon seeing this.
Moreover, Zhang Xiu interrupted him as soon as he opened his mouth, saying, "After a little preparation, I am willing to join the General of Chariots and Cavalry's residence... I'd rather not be a mere Marquis of Guannei. A man should achieve success on horseback, not by offering up land!"
