Chapter 255 – Qi Blast and Qi Shield
If a look could kill, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji would have killed Xun Yu several times over . Friday was also not happy with Xun Yu’s attitude . Thus, she stood up .
"The meeting is adjourned for today . We will not mobilize until our strategist come up with a proper stratagem . However ..."
Friday glared at Xun Yu without hiding her killing intent .
"If this person deserts our army before he thinks of a good strategy, don’t hesitate to kill him . Also, we don’t welcome lazy people in our ranks . Please keep that in mind . "
Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu bowed and glanced at Xun Yu with a grin .
Unperturbed, Xun Yu snorted and left the tent, returning to his designated camp .
While Xun Yu was returning, he did not day-dream like earlier . His expression was sharp as he was seriously thinking about the correct approach to defeat Sun Jian .
’We can’t be the aggressor, but we have to be passive . We are short on numbers and the quality of the generals so taking the initiative is a bad move . ’
’Sun Jian has Huang Gai and Cheng Pu . Those three are enough to decimate our army to shred, and there’s Sun Fang and Li Jing . Those immortals can destroy an army of 10,000 men by themselves . ’
’The intel from Xuchang doesn’t cover Xiao Wu’s true abilities . I don’t know what kind of magic power she possesses . ’
’I want to ask her, but she might lie to me . That Jia Xu has already ratted me that I’m here as a spy for my family . ’
’No, I don’t have times to worry about their thoughts on me . I need to stop them from mobilizing but defending this county . ’
Xun Yu’s thought was in a mess, but he organized them in his own ways . As he was absentminded, his feet already brought him back to his tent .
Inside, another strategic table was in the middle of the tent . The similar tokens and dolls were placed on the same spots as in the central tent .
However, there was a difference .
Xun Yu did not put Xiao Wu with any platoon of soldiers . He placed her individually instead of having her leading a battalion .
’From the eyewitnesses, Sun Fang can fly and use an explosive magic . Li Jing can suddenly appear in a shadow of anyone and assassinate the person . This combination works against us no matter where I see it . ’
Xun Yu massaged his temples . He sat on a chair beside the strategic table to rest and think .
For the entire day, Xun Yu did nothing but trying to find a solution to the problems without relying on anyone else .
He did not know that behind him, a transparent female ghost was watching him . It left him alone after observing Xun Yu for a few hours .
...
The ghost being was [Lust Soul] which Friday had borrowed from Tong . It returned to her body without anyone noticing its existence .
Friday, who was resting in her tent, sighed a relief as she understood a bit of Xun Yu’s personality .
’A prideful strategist ...’
In Friday’s point of view, Xun Yu might appear untrustworthy and lazy at a glance, but he was a hard worker behind their back . It was as if he did not want to be noticed by the enemy spies, or he did not like being in a spotlight .
Friday groaned as she did not like a dishonest person . Yet, she wrote a letter and gave it to a messenger, telling them to send it to Xun Yu .
Inside the letter, it contained her list of abilities, such as speed, power, and her [Lamia Step] cultivation . She also added that if Xun Yu were to join Tong’s immortal clan, he would get lifespans and other benefits that no mortal warlord could give him .
’I’ll trust you, but you have to trust us, Xun Yu . ’
...
...
February 20th, 183 A . D .
Sun Fang flew through the sky alone, making a beeline toward Zhao County .
His objective, which was entrusted by Sun Jian, was to sabotage Xiao Wu Army by dropping a bomb using his skill . As someone who could fly, Li Jing suggested that Sun Fang should employ aerial warfare into this battle .
’Carpet bomb, incoming! HAHAHAHA!’
Feeling good by himself, Sun Fang hummed in his mind . Nothing felt better than having the upper hand or insurance in an important battle . As long as he was in the air, no one could touch him .
It took Sun Fang ten minutes to reach Zhao County airspace . He flew down, lowering the altitude so he could get a better view of the troops below .
Sure enough, military camps of Ye Army was there .
’I can only drop it once a day . Which place should I aim? Eeny Meeny Miney Mo, My ex-wife is a goddamn ho!’
Sun Fang picked the central granary as the target and pointed his palm at the target .
’[Qi Blast]!’

**************************
A fireball was launched from Sun Fang’s palm, heading toward the granary .
*BOOM*
A wide radius explosive noise could be heard as a bubble of flame engulfed wooden buildings around the center of the explosion .
’Mission accomplished . Tomorrow, I’ll blow some soldiers . ’
Sun Fang smiled and turned around, planning to head back to base . As he was about to change to the velocity of his flight, the corner of his eyes caught sight of a pretty girl with noticeable assets, running toward his direction .
The girl made a posture as if she was about to throw something at him, which made Sun Fang laughed .
’Silly girl . You can’t do shit! I’m over a thousand feet above the ground . What are you going to do, throwing a spear at me? Pfft! Only reincarnators can harm me ...? Wait a minute, a reincarnator?’
A spear tip already appeared in front of Sun Fang’s face .
’Shield!’
*DONK*
Sun Fang heard the sound of a bell as the spear was stopped by the transparent dome which surrounded his body .

***********************************

Sun Fang’s heart sunk as the number of lifespans he had to supply the shield just now was dangerous .
’What kind of power is this? Is this a skill? Yes, it should be a skill! No human can throw such a powerful spear with great force like this!’
Sun Fang had tested this skill with Li Jing and Sun Jian before . A casual punch of someone in Sun Jian’s caliber consumed 500 to 1,000 lifespans per hit . A serious weapon strike from elite generals like Cheng Pu or Huang Gai cost Sun Fang 4,000 to 5,000 years a hit .
However, the spear throw just now shaved over 16,000 years of his life force .
In his point of view, the girl just now should have been an otherworlder, and she should have used her skill . Or else, she would not be able to exert such a force .
*DONG*
A screech of tearing wind and a bell sound shocked Sun Fang again . Another spear hit his shield, and a system message followed .
>
"WHAT!?"
A sharp whistling noise came again .
*DONG*
*DONG*
*DONG*
Like a child playing with a giant bell, Friday did not stop throwing spears at Sun Fang . At her sides, soldiers carried many spears rushed over and passed her ten spears at a time when she opened her palms .

The number increased as the force behind the spears got stronger for each throw . These numbers were not a stacked number, but they were the damage that showed Sun Fang for each hit .
’Not good . I’ll run out of lifespans if this keeps up!’
*******************************

Name: Sun Fang
Age: 18
Lifespan: 1,413,694 Years
*******************************
Despite having overwhelming lifespans, the damages he took caused Sun Fang to panic . He ignored Friday and flew away with his max speed .
As he escaped from the Zhao County airspace, the spear throwing stopped . However, Sun Fang had not deactivated his [Qi Shield] yet as he was still in shock .
Sun Fang felt like he was playing an MMORPG game in the modern world, but he suddenly ran into the world boss by himself . The damage he had received gave him a fright .
"WATDAFUQIZDATJUSTNOW!"
Still in shock, he screamed out of frustration . Sun Fang stared at the direction of Zhao County as he was scared that the girl might have followed after him .
After looking around for a while, Sun Fang did not find a trace of that girl again . He deeply exhaled, feeling relieved that the nightmare had ended .
He did not notice that, below him, a transparent naked female ghost was trailing after him . In her hands, she held a spear and aimed at Sun Fang’s crotch .
*DONG* *DONG*
*DONG* *DONG*
As if Sun Fang was hearing someone spamming a doorbell, the repeating sounds of his shield alarmed him, which the came from below .
As Sun Fang looked down, a naked female ghost had been repeatedly stabbed her spear, aiming at his little brother .

Each time the [Lust Soul] thrust her spear, Sun Fang would lose over 66,000 lifespans . The face of the soul did not show a hint of hostility . Instead, it revealed a sadistic grin as if it was enjoying this .
"What is this!?"
Sun Fang was astonished by the ghost . Seeing that the ghost was hostile to him, Sun Fang drew his sword and struck at the transparent female ghost .
The sword passed her as if it cut nothing but air . The Lust Soul grinned and continued stabbing at Sun Fang’s shield, reducing his lifespans .
"Dammit! [Clone]!"
Sun Fang’s body splitted into two, and both of them flew in a different direction, trying to confuse the Lust Soul .
While Sun Fang was flying in his max speed, he sent a text message into his clan chat in horror .
"HELP! I’m being attacked by a ghost! I can’t kill it!"
Within a few seconds, a hand appeared inside Sun Fang’s clothes . It grabbed Sun Fang’s neck and dragged his entire body into the void under his clothes, leaving the clothes and his weapons behind .
Sun Fang was pulled by Li Jing’s [Shadow Teleportation] skill back to their base . However, Sun Fang returned naked .
Although it was embarrassing to him and others, Sun Fang did not mind it as he had just escaped death .
"Fang, what happened?" Asked Sun Jian and Li Jing .
Still in a paled face, Sun Fang opened his mouth to report his finding .
