Chapter 551 Sun Ce's breakthrough
Sun Ce's personal force was strong, but not to the same level as Lu Bu's. Facing the joint attack of Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu, he seemed a bit overwhelmed.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu intensified their attacks, frequently attacking the places Sun Ce needed to save.
Naturally, Sun Ce would not let Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu succeed. The spear in his hand was very fast, and there was an arrogance in his heart that refused to admit defeat.
But now Sun Ce's strength could not completely withstand Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu's combined attack, and he was in a very awkward position both on offense and defense.
Sun Ce's helmet was accidentally knocked off by Zhang Xiu, and his whole body was disheveled. Sun Ce's heart boiled after suffering such a blow.
How long has it been since Sun Ce was forced to such a point? Ever since he occupied Jiangdong, only Taishi Ci has been able to fight him evenly. However, as Sun Ce's strength and martial arts have increased in recent years, Taishi Ci has also been unable to do so.
As before, he was evenly matched with Sun Ce, completely at a disadvantage.
Now Sun Ce was forced into this situation by two generals in Liu Yu's army.
Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu's martial arts skills among Liu Yujun are considered to be above average. If they were defeated by beings like Guan Yu, Lu Bu and Dian Wei, Sun Ce would not be too disappointed. Now that they were forced to do this, Sun Ce felt that he was too embarrassed.
"Haha, son Sun Ce, you are dead today!" Zhang Yan said arrogantly.
Zhang Xiu said nothing and stabbed Sun Ce in the head with his spear.
Sun Ce hurriedly raised his gun to deflect the opponent's attack, thinking in his heart: These two are so shameless!
When Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's helmet being lifted off, he was so frightened that if he had gone down just a little further, Sun Ce might have died here.
"The whole army..." When Zhou Yu wanted to lead the whole army to attack, Taishi Ci stopped him.
"Captain, my lord, we don't need to worry about you!" Tai Shici said.
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and found that Sun Ce, who was fighting, now had a very different aura. It was as if he was exuding a powerful killing intent and terrifying domineering aura.
"What is this?" Zhou Yu asked boldly.
Taishi Ci said with envy: "My lord's martial arts have made a breakthrough at this time!"
"Breakthrough? Could it be that Bo Fu has reached the high level of a warrior?" Zhou Yu asked excitedly.
"Yes, my lord's martial arts has reached a bottleneck before. It's just that my lord has always been smooth sailing and has never been forced to the point of failure, so he can't break through. Now, two masters, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yan, are working together to attack my lord.
The arrogance in his heart that he was fearless allowed the lord to break through the bottleneck." Tai Shici said enviously.
As a martial artist, Taishi Ci knew his own bottleneck. Since the bitter cold life in his early years had damaged Taishi Ci's foundation, it would be difficult for Taishi Ci to make breakthroughs in martial arts in this life.
Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu also felt that something was wrong. Why was Sun Ce's speed and strength getting stronger and stronger between offense and defense in front of them? Just now, he was beaten by the two of them, but now he has recovered his disadvantage little by little.
Sun Ce kept roaring in his heart: "I, Sun Ce, am the son of Jiangdong Tiger and the overlord of the world. How can I fail here!? Impossible!"
"Drink!" Sun Ce suddenly let out a loud roar.
What followed was a huge aura emanating from Sun Ce's body, which suddenly enveloped Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yan.
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yan were overwhelmed by its momentum and felt a hint of fear, and the attacks in their hands stopped.
Sun Ce took the opportunity to swing his spear and stabbed the two men twice in the chest.
Zhang Yan was the first to react. She pushed Zhang Xiu violently and raised her spear to block Sun Ce's attack. However, Sun Ce stabbed her in the arm. The severe pain caused Zhang Yan to release the spear in her hand.
Seeing the opportunity, Sun Ce stabbed Zhang Yan in the throat with his spear. Zhang Yan didn't even have a chance to react.
"Jude!" Zhang Xiu rushed forward and pierced Sun Ce's chest with his spear, attacking the enemy and saving him!
Unfortunately, Sun Ce's speed increased a lot and he almost stabbed Zhang Yan before Zhang Xiu could catch up.
Zhang Yan gritted his teeth and leaned back suddenly. Unfortunately, it was too late. Sun Ce's spear stabbed him in the right eye.
"Ah!" Zhang Yan was stabbed in the right eye, leaving a lot of blood, and then fell to the ground.
Sun Ce stepped forward again, preparing to fire another shot to completely kill Zhang Yan.
At this time, Zhang Xiu's attack arrived, and Sun Ce had to turn around to defend and gave up killing Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan escaped.
"Look at the gun!" Zhang Xiu was furious when he saw Zhang Yan was injured, and launched a crazy attack on Sun Ce.
Liu Jun's soldiers hurriedly dragged Zhang Yan back. Zhang Yan endured the severe pain and covered her right eye. It seemed that her eye could not be saved.
Zhang Xiu's attack seemed to have slowed down a lot in Sun Ce's eyes, and Sun Ce was overjoyed: Is this the state after breaking through the bottleneck? I, Sun Ce, have finally reached a state that others cannot reach in their lifetime.
Sun Ce calmly blocked all Zhang Xiu's attacks and then began to counterattack.
The more Zhang Xiu fought, the more frightened he became. Sun Ce had become too terrifying. They were evenly matched before, but now Zhang Xiu felt that he could not compete with Sun Ce.
Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce showing off his power and laughed loudly: "Bo Fu, you have finally become the top being in the world!"
If Sun Ce suppresses Zhang Xiu and fights, then Zhou Yu does not need to send troops. He can just wait for Sun Ce to kill or defeat Zhang Xiu. When Liu Jun's leader is defeated, the morale of his army will be low. After a sudden attack, Liu Jun will definitely flee.
.
Taishi Ci was silent on the side. He had been staring at Sun Ce, hoping to find an opportunity for him to break through from Sun Ce. Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, Taishi Ci didn't find anything useful, so he couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Ziyi, order the whole army to be ready. When the lord defeats Zhang Xiu, he will immediately attack him with his troops!" Zhou Yu prepared to attack first.
"Yes!" Taishi Ci knew what he had to do now and immediately went down to deliver the order.
In front of the two armies, Sun Ce pressed down Zhang Xiu and said playfully: "Is this Liu Yu's strong soldiers and generals? Nothing more than that!"
Zhang Xiu was angry for a while, but it was true that Sun Ce was stronger than him now and could not defeat Sun Ce.
Zhang Xiu noticed that the army behind Sun Ce was about to move, and knew that he could not continue like this. If he was killed here, the army behind him would be doomed.
Zhang Xiu suddenly became violent and tried to fight Sun Ce by exchanging lives for lives. In fact, he wanted Sun Ce to retreat.
Sun Ce didn't know Zhang Xiu's plan and was frightened by Zhang Xiu's desperate posture. He hurriedly retreated to avoid being hurt by Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu took advantage of this gap and immediately turned around and retreated towards his troops, shouting: "The whole army retreats!"
Liu Jun's soldiers immediately turned around and retreated, because Zhang Yan had given instructions to retreat at any time when he was injured, so they were able to retreat quickly.
"Want to run? Chase!" Sun Ce raised his spear and chased after him.
Zhou Yu and others immediately rushed over with their troops.
