Chapter 1031: Losing Cavalry Makes It Hard to Defend the Enemy

When Xun Chilong fell, Su Kuo had to get off the saddle, but he did not retreat. Instead, he held the hammer in one hand to deal with Chen Chuan's attack, while also thinking of buying some time for Xun Chilong to recover.

He knew very well that his horse had strong vitality. With just a little time and a few tries, he would be able to stand up again.

Chen Chuan took a step and instantly came in front of Su Kuo, slashing with his sword. Su Kuo raised his hammer to block. Although he was prepared for the impact of the light, the power of the sword was too strong. Amid the flames, the whole person was chopped away by the sword, and a thunderous explosion was heard in the air.

Chen Chuan was about to catch up, but at this moment, the Xun Chilong, who had already fallen to the ground, suddenly struggled up again, and ignoring the blood gushing from his neck, stepped towards his back with both hooves.

This super-large horse was so powerful that it could be regarded as a strong fighter. Chen Chuan did not turn a blind eye to it. He turned sideways, raised his arm, and grabbed the falling thick horse hoof. With a grab of its strength, a large part of the spiritual light on the horse's body was extinguished in an instant. It twisted its body and swung it outward, and with a loud bang, it fell sideways to the ground.

The horse was still struggling, so he stepped forward and punched it. There was a loud bang, and the horse's head sank down, creating a big hole in the ground. The huge horse's body swung up as a result. Then he raised his knife and stabbed it down at its head, instantly breaking the remaining spiritual fire. The force went straight through its skull, and the Smoked Red Dragon's four hooves twitched and struggled. As more blood spread out, it finally stopped moving.

On the other side, Su Kuo was struck far away by the force. He was about to stabilize his body during the process, but he suddenly felt something. He swung his hammer and smashed the two flying objects in the air. It turned out that Zarnik and his two men threw two special spears at him.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of action poses no threat to him, and it doesn't matter if he takes it head-on; it won't cause any harm to him.

But under the push of Chen Chuan's power, he was trying to adjust himself, wanting to eliminate this force as soon as possible and then turn back, maybe to rescue Xun Chilong. But now his balance was broken, which prevented him from doing so. Also, because of an action he made, his center of gravity shifted, and finally he took a few steps to the side. As a result, he completely lost the opportunity to rescue his mount.

At this moment, he raised his head and looked at the figure of his beloved horse falling in the dust. He couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, strands of alien tissue grew on his broken arm, and soon they twisted into one, becoming a limb like an arm. He held the long hammer in front of him with both hands, and at the same time, he took a deep breath, and the deep red flames outside his body suddenly rose.

Chen Chuan walked over slowly, holding a long sword. To him, the opponent's unity between man and horse had been broken, and both speed and strength had been reduced to a level.

If there is any chance of a comeback, it would be those special powers.

However, this person still refuses to use his strange appearance until now. It is almost certain that his strange appearance is most likely related to some kind of strange power, which is most likely a passive ability based on various situations of the enemy.

He didn't want to guess what it was specifically. Just like what he had thought just now, he didn't need to follow the enemy's rhythm and should just do what he was supposed to do.

After walking a few steps, his body suddenly flashed, and when he appeared again, he was already close to Su Kuo, with a blade slashing down.

The latter was startled and tried to block with his hammer. However, the blow, though swift, was not strong but soft. The front part of the long sword came down and pushed on his hammer. Suddenly, an irresistible force surged. Su Kuo could not stop and retreated again.

He is huge in size, almost three times the size of Chen Chuan, and it seems that there is no comparison between them. However, when the two face off, Su Kuo is the weaker one. This strong contrast makes people feel extremely contradictory.

Chen Chuan swung his knife and walked forward with calm steps.

Su Kuo had just used a technique to unleash his physical strength, but it turned out that even though his physical fitness had improved, he was still unable to stop his opponent, but at least he was not without the ability to fight back.

He was experienced in combat and knew that he could not retreat at this time. The more he retreated, the easier it would be for him to be knocked down by his opponent. Instead, he had to take the initiative to attack in order to have a chance. He pushed off the ground, and when the ground cracked, he rushed forward with a burst of scarlet flames, raised his long hammer high and smashed it down on Chen Chuan's head.

Chen Chuan watched him coming, paused for a moment, raised his hand to block the falling hammer steadily, and a circle of air waves exploded under his feet, rolling outward. He then pushed the knife to the side, and Su Kuo actually staggered to the side with him.

Under absolute power, all skills and attacks are useless.

Su Kuo's center of gravity shifted, and he immediately realized something was wrong. He immediately activated his special power, and his huge body seemed to have lost weight, and he dodged several subsequent sword lights.

Finally, he seized the opportunity and blocked it, but was inevitably repelled again. However, after a distance, he paused, and it turned out that he had retreated to a secret ceremony.

As the commander, he was very familiar with every part of the battlefield. This was a place he had been optimistic about for a long time. Although it was impossible to stop Chen Chuan, this was originally set up to prevent fighters from attacking. It would give him a chance to catch his breath. At this time, his chest kept rising and falling, trying to recover as much as possible.

In fact, it was not just Chen Chuan. He could feel that since the war began, the eyes of those Dashun fighters had been on him. This was what made him most uncomfortable.

If Chen Chuan wasn't there, he wouldn't have to worry about it, but with Chen Chuan, a huge threat, in front of him, he needed to deal with it with all his heart and soul. How could he spare more attention and energy to go elsewhere? But he couldn't ignore them completely. Even if those people were just watching him from the side, he would feel like a thorn in his back, so he could only try his best to overcome it.

Chen Chuan walked to the front of the secret ceremony and observed it. This secret ceremony was very common. Its purpose was to prevent fighters from breaking into the army formation and slaughtering soldiers at will. Although it was not difficult to destroy it, it could indeed interrupt his attack rhythm.

He swung his sword outwards, and it was as if something tangible was torn apart. There was a hissing sound, and the air outside also rolled along, and the stone plates buried in the ground around him began to crack.

Su Kuo was well prepared inside, and when the secret ceremony was destroyed, he was about to attack, but when he looked up, he saw Chen Chuan suddenly appeared at the same level as his own line of sight, staring at him with a deep and calm gaze.

His heart skipped a beat and he let out a loud shout, and the deep red spiritual flames all over his body suddenly burst out regardless of everything.

Chen Chuan's figure disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already standing at the far end, looking coldly ahead. With a bang, a deep red aura rushed up to the sky where Su Kuo was standing, and the ground beneath his feet rumbled and shook.

But the light soon subsided, and at the moment when the breath subsided, he took another step and instantly rushed through the hot air and came close to Su Kuo. Now he was just in the moment of slowing down after the spiritual power exploded, and he had almost no resistance.

Su Kuo shouldn't have made this mistake, but the threat posed by Chen Chuan just now was too great, forcing him to burst out with all his strength and not be able to worry about anything else.

The envoy in embroidered clothes who was watching saw something was wrong and held a long needle, wanting to help. However, at this moment, Mr. Zhuan turned his head and looked directly at her, and the mask on his face flashed, which made her pause.

Not only that, Zarnik and the other man roared wildly at this moment, each picked up the weapon in their hands and rushed down the hillside, with strong blood-red flames bursting out from both of them. They gradually grew bigger while running, and instantly grew to more than 20 meters. They violently knocked away and trampled on everything blocking the way in front of them, and looked in that direction, heading towards the Embroidered Envoy and Gai Shuhe.

They didn't take action just now because everyone could keep a deterrent on Su Kuo and divert some of his attention. Now that Chen Chuan has gained the advantage, there is no need to wait any longer.

Neither the Embroidered Robe Envoy nor Gai Shuhe intended to put up a strong resistance, and they retreated without hesitation. In the absence of numerical advantage, they could only rely on the secret equipment in the rear to assist them in the battle. As for the troops, they could not take care of them now, and the fighters would not waste their limited strength on these small pawns.

On the other side, Chen Chuan slashed with a knife, and Su Kuo had no room to dodge at all. However, the weapon bag worn on his waist suddenly exploded at this time, and a green light drilled towards the former's eyes.

Chen Chuan saw that this was a strange insect with long and thin hooked legs, but it was attached with the spiritual power of a god-like fighter, so he did not underestimate this thing. He turned his folding knife and chopped it off in mid-air.

Su Kuo got a chance to catch his breath and took a step back, not to dodge, but to create distance for his attack. At this time, he raised the long hammer with both hands and smashed it down at Chen Chuan with all his strength.

The body of Chen Chuan's carving knife was outside and there was no time to turn around, so he stretched out his hand to block it. With a bang, a circle of air waves exploded, and he actually blocked the sledgehammer with his bare hands. Without waiting for the opponent to press down, he pushed it upwards. At this time, Su Kuo demonstrated his superb strength skills. He flipped the hammer body along with this force, and then used his backhand to poke the tip of the hammer tail towards him.

At this moment, Chen Chuan pulled back the blade and blocked it with his backhand vertical blade, deflecting it. Su Kuo then held both ends of the hammer and turned around to smash it horizontally. Even though this step was connected and coherent, and the use of force was impeccable, from Chen Chuan's point of view, it was still a beat too slow.

He pointed his toes and a circle of air exploded under his feet. In a flash, he was already diagonally above Su Kuo's body. As he turned in the air, he stabbed a knife into the latter's neck, and most of the blade was instantly penetrated!
Su Kuo suddenly froze in his tracks. Seeing this, Gai Shuhe, who was retreating, couldn't help but exclaimed, "General!"
