“Roar!”
The silver spear that was covered in dragon scales vaguely let out a roar.
Under Zhao Yun’s grip, it swung in a circle.
Pop! Crackle!
The silver aura of the spear stretched several feet forward, and the dozen Yuan soldiers who were hit were all knocked away along with their weapons!
There were a thousand Yuan soldiers in general, which was really a large number.
But they had one problem, which was that Zhao Yun, who had been surrounded, was their only target.
In such a dense battle formation, only a dozen Yuan soldiers could really hit him at one time.
Although Zhao Yun was deeply mired in the enemy formation, with his self-protection ability, he was not scared of the enemy’s attacks, and he even collapsed a bunch of soldiers every time he attacked.
For that reason, as he charged and moved forward, he was soon only thirty meters away from the East King.
However, the last thirty meters was even more difficult than the previous.
It was because a hundred camel riders were in Zhao Yun’s way, and each of them was holding a heavy shield.
Those shields had even been connected to each other, forming a shield wall that was more than six meters tall, and the shield wall was moving to surround the approaching enemy.
From behind the shield wall, many spears were extended out and stabbed at Zhao Yun who was stuck on his horse!
Zhao Yun had killed more than two hundred people during his charge, and the light on him was dimming.
Once he was surrounded by those shields, he would be like a dragon that was mired in mud and couldn’t perform his martial arts.
After all, from the battle, it could easily be told that Zhao Yun, like Lu Junyi, used a lot of tricks in his attacks. He was not a pure strength-type general like Lu Zhishen or Guo Jing.
Also, Zhao Yun’s spear didn’t have the extraordinary power to absorb the enemy’s attacks and then unleash the energy back at them, like Lu Junyi’s Qilin Stick could.
It would be hard for him to simply destroy the shield wall and break free.
“Hiss!”
However, while Zhao Yun didn’t really have a Qilin, he was riding a white horse!
Seeing that the shield wall had already closed, the white horse let out an explosive roar, and its white hair emitted the brilliance of jade. Then, it stood up and stomped on a camel that was before itself.
With the counterforce, the horse soared like a dragon emerging from the water with Zhao Yun on its back.
“Not a chance!”
However, the Yuan soldiers reacted quite fast.
The dozen elite Yuan soldiers who were holding long spears behind the shields crossed their weapons and pressed the spears down at the same time.
Zhao Yun’s talent could ignore attacks, but it could not ignore obstacles.
“Knock down his horse!”
Many Yuan soldiers stabbed their spears at the horse’s most vulnerable abdomen.
“Roar!”
However, Zhao Yun was still on the horseback.
His silver spear, with a dragon roar, scattered the dozen spears that intended to stop him!
“Hiss!”
The horse cooperated with him neatly and moved its hooves, stepping on the spears that the Yuan soldiers stabbed up from down below.
Eventually, Zhao Yun and his horse jumped over the shield wall, their last obstacle, and landed on the ice. They had only one last enemy before their eyes: the East King who was holding that Snow Spear that contained Transcendent power!
“Hiss!”
After landing, the white horse’s manes shivered like those of a lion, and it dashed at the East King without hesitation!
Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop...
However, while it was galloping, it turned from white to slightly transparent. When it finally reached the East King, the whole body of the horse was frozen and even transformed into ice.
It was because the moment the horse was within thirty meters from the East King, the coldness from the ice on the ground quickly covered its hooves and soon wreathed its whole body.
Since the snowflakes in the sky were not normal, it was only natural that the ice on the ground was dangerous too.
However, the power of ice could not be activated until the target was close enough to the East King. Although the horse was protected by Zhao Yun’s talent skill, it could not stop the power of freezing.
It was because the Snow Spear could not only invoke snowflakes but also freeze anything visible and invisible into ice, which was the spear’s real Transcendent power!
Obviously, Zhao Yun’s talent ability, which was partly sealed, could not deal with the freezing power.
However, this was only a virtual battlefield.
Both the white horse and the silver spear were projections from the power of providence. Nothing would really be killed or damaged.
Therefore, even though the horse was frozen, it had neighed and tried its best to throw Zhao Yuan towards the East King before the freezing power spread to its master!
Clang, clang, clang...
In the next moment, flowers of snowflakes were blossoming again on the battlefield, accompanied by the collisions of spears.
By the time Zhao Yun landed on the icy ground, twenty-four iced spears had appeared in the air under the sunlight!
They were called iced spears because they were spears that had been frozen by the Snow Spear’s Transcendent power.
However, they weren’t really Zhao Yun’s spear but only its shadows. Because the two spears had collided too fast and too briefly, the Snow Spear could not freeze Zhao Yun’s silver spear. It could only freeze the lingering shadows caused by the silver spear’s force!
There were twenty-five shadows in total. Of the first twenty-four shadows, each was closer to the East King than the last.
The last shadow of the silver spear, on the other hand, simply pierced through the East King’s chest!
Wait, it was not a shadow, but the real silver spear!
Crack!
The moment Zhao Yun’s feet touched the ground, the transparent ice let out a crack.
Following that, the whole battlefield fell apart like pieces of ice with the East King’s Snow Spear as the center.
The world turned back into the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s Temple of Providence.
Zhao Yun, whose silver armor was gone and replaced by a white cloak, reached his hands and picked up the falling Snow Spear.
Hum!
The previously translucent Snow Spear quickly transformed. Its grip was soon covered in dragon scales, and its body became longer and thinner, like the silver spear that had appeared on the battlefield earlier!
Zhao Yun’s fuzzy face became clear in everyone’s eyes.
He was six feet tall, and he was in the best-looking years of his life. He had eyebrows as sharp as blade edges and eyes as shiny as stars.
He might not be as charming as Yan Qing, but he definitely looked more determined and valiant!
[Zhao Yun]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-7]
[Rarity: Commander]
[Description: He is one of the five Tiger Generals of Shu Han. He’s both smart and brave, and he boasts astonishing spear techniques. Zhao Zilong of Changshan is known as a man of exceptional courage!]
There was no telling if it was meant to make up for the “poetic announcement”, but Ji Ye could not only see Zhao Yun’s stats but also an additional note behind the description.
Judging from his face, Zhao Yun must’ve been still working for Gongsun Zan and fighting the Wuhuan Tribe in the north and hadn’t joined Liu Bei yet before his arrival.
Of course, all the heroes who were summoned would receive the memories of their fate as long as they weren’t killed and reincarnated.
Therefore, Zhao Yun wasn’t weak because of his young age. Instead, his combat ability was actually higher.
After all, with abundant experience in commanding and fighting and a body in his prime years, Zhao Yun was really in his best state!
