Chapter 2881: Breaking the Seven-Star Flying Bear Formation, Kong Xuan kills Xia Houyuan
"Ha ha."
Hong Xuan laughed happily, obviously not expecting that his careless and adventurous move would turn out to be a blessing in disguise, allowing him to break the bottleneck of body training under high pressure.
Hong Xuan’s basic martial arts was 109 when he was born. His basic martial arts will only decrease due to the burning of internal strength. However, his martial arts realm in the middle stage of Grand Master is still there. As long as he gradually rebuilds his basic martial arts, his basic martial arts can be completely restored.
But even if he recovers, or even breaks through to a higher level later, Kong Xuan's basic force will not change, it will still be 109, because his body refining level is still 109.
Internal strength is used to refine the qi, while external strength is used to refine the body. However, body training and qi training are also two completely different systems.
Refining qi will have the effect of enhancing physical fitness, but refining the body will not have any benefit on refining qi. This is the biggest reason why internal skills have always been more popular than external skills.
But after reaching the Grand Master level, whether it is physical training or Qi training, in the end, we will reach the same goal through different paths, and we must return to the route of internal and external cultivation.
It is precisely because of this that before the troubled times began, the older generation basically followed the path of practicing Qi first and then body. They first practiced internal strength well, and only after they became great masters, they would intensify their physical training.
But things are different now. Troubled times are coming, wars are going on all over China, and external skills are more suitable for survival on the battlefield than internal skills, so body training has become very popular, and a large number of geniuses in body training have emerged for this reason, such as: Li Cunxiao, Xiang Yu, Sun Lingming, Li Yuanba and so on.
The older generation has practiced for decades longer, and the new generation will never be able to catch up in normal practice. However, in this special period, the new generation, which has experienced the hardships of life and death in war, has achieved a roundabout overtaking in physical training.
This is also the main reason why some powerful generals can challenge the normal grand masters in a single fight at the initial stage of God of War.
Because the two are inherently equal in terms of physique, as for the gap in skill, the gap can be narrowed through skills, equipment, combat experience, and even strength.
As for Li Cunxiao, Xiang Yu, and Niu Mowang, these are the leaders in body training among the new generation. Although their current skills are still shallow, in terms of physique, they have even reached the peak of the middle stage of the Grand Master, and even the peak of the later stage. Intensity.
After Kong Xuan burned his internal energy, the decline in his skill caused his basic strength to also decrease, but his physical strength remained unchanged, and his body refining level was still level 109.
As for Kong Xuan’s breakthrough under high pressure, it was naturally not related to his cultivation level. After all, he had not yet recovered his peak cultivation level, so it was naturally impossible for him to reach a higher level.
Kong Xuan made a breakthrough in physical fitness this time, and only this made him so excited. After all, after the physical strength reaches his level, body refining is much more difficult to advance than qi refining.
So, even though Kong Xuan’s base strength is still 109, his physical strength has actually reached 110. As long as he restores his mid-term cultivation level as a grand master, his base strength can directly rise to 110;
This is the real reason why Kong Xuan is happy. At the same time, he finally understands the reason why geniuses like Li Cunxiao and Sun Lingming are obviously talented in martial arts, but instead of practicing diligently, they are fighting in the world.
"No wonder Li Cunxiao, Yang Jian, Sun Lingming and others all crowded into the army. Fighting is the fastest way to improve one's body."
Hong Xuan couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time he felt a little moved in his heart. Should he also take this opportunity to directly join the army and train in the war? But this idea was quickly dismissed by him.
Although the battlefield is helpful for body refining and promotion, it is only for rapid improvement in the early stage, and the effect becomes smaller in the later stage, let alone Kong Xuan's current state.
Kong Xuan has a clear plan for his future. The follow-up method of his self-created Five Elements Magic Technique has not yet been determined, and a large number of exercises need to be incorporated to improve it. This alone requires him to devote all his energy to it, and he will even neglect to practice it. He wanted to practice physical training, so he was naturally unwilling to invest precious time in the military.
Although Kong Xuan didn't want to waste his time by joining the army, he was willing to contribute in order to exchange skills from Ying Hao. Otherwise, he would not have taken the risk of breaking into Cao Cao's camp alone. Unfortunately, Cao Cao failed to kill him and put himself in danger. territory.
Hong Xuan had previously single-handedly challenged Qi State, but compared with Cao Wei, Qi State was ultimately too weak in terms of high-end combat power.
Kong Xuan's breakthrough before the battle increased his force value by 1 point. This 1 point increase may not seem like much, but it can play a decisive role in the current battle situation.
In the previous battle, Kong Xuan had a head-to-head confrontation with Yin Shou of 139, and at the same time he had to deal with the siege of four powerful generals with a strength value of over 130, including Cao Kerang and Tantai Yu. If he hadn't had many methods and strong enough strength, he would have been defeated earlier. It's already dead.
Although Kong Xuan managed to resist most of the six people's attacks with the dual defense of the Gang Qi Armor and the Five-Colored Canopy, as well as the auxiliary interference effect of the Wood and Water Binding, such a high-intensity battle, coupled with the previous impact, It was inevitable that his wound would burst and the injury would relapse.
Although the injuries sustained in the battle between Kong Xuan and Cao Qiudao have recovered to 80% to 90% due to several days of training, as long as they are not completely healed, if they recur, the injuries will be more serious.
In this regard, Kong Xuan had no good solution. He could only face the battle calmly and seek opportunities to break out during the battle. But how could General Yin Shou give him this opportunity?
Hong Xuan failed to break through several times, and his heart had hit rock bottom. He even thought about exchanging injuries for injuries to create opportunities, but he never thought about burning his inner strength.
It’s not that Kong Xuan didn’t dare to burn his heart, but that he didn’t want to.
Kong Xuan has already had an experience of burning up his inner strength. Logically speaking, when faced with a life and death crisis, he should not have any resistance. But it was precisely because of that experience that he knew that the dual power method cannot be used unscrupulously. , burning internal energy too many times will damage your own foundation, thus affecting your future achievements in martial arts.
Hong Xuan is not greedy for money, lustful, fame-seeking, or profit-seeking. The only thing he cares about is his family, Confucianism, and reaching the top of martial arts, so he is naturally unwilling to damage his own foundation.
Facing the encirclement and killing of the five Yin Shou, Kong Xuan could indeed easily fight out after burning his inner strength, and even kill all the five Yin Shou, but he would also pay a heavy price.
Kong Xuan is still unclear about his future martial arts path. If he wants to completely perfect his self-created Five Elements Magic Technique, it will require a lot of time and energy, so naturally he is not willing to waste at least three years of precious time, let alone the third one. The secondary burning of internal energy will also damage his martial arts foundation.
If it was Cao Cao who was killed after burning his inner strength, then Kong Xuan would naturally be willing to pay such a price. After all, Cao Cao had this value.
But if it were Yin Shou and the other five, Kong Xuan didn't think that the combined lives of the five of them would be able to withstand the cost of at least three years of idle time for him and the damage to his martial arts foundation.
Hong Xuan is unwilling to burn up his internal strength, but the recurrence of injuries has caused his condition to decline and his combat power to further decline. This is also an indisputable fact.
Under this situation, Kong Xuan seemed to have no other way to break the situation except burning his internal strength. However, he managed to break through under high pressure, and the improvement in basic strength brought about by the breakthrough would be to a certain extent. To restore strength and injuries.
Kong Xuan, who had recovered his physical strength and injuries, had also improved his combat effectiveness. Facing the joint attack of the five Yin Shou people, it was much easier than before. In addition, under the influence of the divine light, the five Yin Shou people's attacks His combat power had been weakened to varying degrees, so much so that he was able to briefly suppress five opponents on his own. Kong Xuan was not able to suppress Yin and Shou for too long. With the activation of the skills of Cao Keren and Cao Xiu, their commanding skills were superimposed on the activated skills, and the group increase of Cao Jun was once again superimposed to the full value of 5 points.
But the decline of Yin Shou's five generals has already appeared. Even with the full 5-point additional increase and the increase of the two combined skills of the Four Divine Spears and Cao Wei's Eight Tiger Cavalry, they can barely maintain their undefeated status. If they want to defeat Kong Declaration is already impossible.
Of course, it would be impossible for Kong Xuan to defeat five people. He would be at a great disadvantage fighting alone in an away game, and Cao Jun's side had surprisingly many talents.
That is to say, Kong Xuan has all kinds of skills. Otherwise, even if he has 150 points of force, it will not be enough to defeat these generals of Cao's army.
In addition to playing away games, Kong Xuan also has a major disadvantage, that is, Yin Shou and others have off-site support.
Shen Gongbao's seven-star flying bear array has been completed. Even if it is small, it is still powerful. Naturally, it is impossible to watch Yin Shou and five people die in battle without supporting them.
Hong Xuancai had a chance to kill Cao Kerang when he broke through, but before he could take action, Shen Gongbao's off-field support came.
Under the command of Shen Gongbao, dozens of special crossbows focused on Kong Xuan, and they were surprisingly accurate. Among the hundreds of powerful crossbow arrows fired, at least half of them hit Kong Xuan. If he hadn't had double defense I really can't bear it.
After that, Kong Xuan created two more opportunities and almost killed Cao Ning and Yin Shou, but they were still destroyed by Shen Gongbao.
The three failed beheadings made Kong Xuan realize that he could not kill any of the five people. In addition, his injuries were getting worse, so he decisively chose to retreat and no longer continue to deal with Yin Shou and others. What a hassle.
Previously, the five Yin and Shou people refused to let Kong Xuan leave, but now after the breakthrough, Kong Xuan wanted to leave. Even if the five Yin and Shou people wanted to stop him, they were unable to stop him.
Seeing Kong Xuan break through the encirclement, Yin and Shou and the other five people were also extremely anxious. After all, they could all feel that Kong Xuan's condition was declining rapidly. It would be a pity to let him run away at this time.
But the five Yin and Shou were not in good condition. After the battle with Kong Xuan, now the high-intensity battle, not to mention the high consumption, was inevitably stained. Naturally, it was impossible to stop Kong Xuan. .
Although Kong Xuan broke through the siege of Yin and Shou's five men, what he didn't expect was that he actually lost his way in Cao's camp.
Hong Xuan noticed something was wrong immediately. After careful observation, he discovered that formations had been deployed around him unknowingly, and the environment was different from before.
“This is the Seven-Star Flying Bear Formation?” Kong Xuan murmured to himself.
“Haha, Kong Xuan, you are knowledgeable, you actually recognize this formation.”
Shen Gongbao's ethereal voice came, and Kong Xuan recognized him immediately.
Kong Xuan smiled coldly and said: "Shen Gongbao, stop pretending here. Don't you just want to force me to burn my internal energy, and then drag it until my internal energy is exhausted? But the consequences of my burning internal energy are not for you, Yin Shou and the five of them." As much as you can bear it, aren't you afraid of playing with fire and getting yourself involved?"
Shen Gongbao was not upset after being called out by Kong Xuan, and still said confidently: "Kong Xuan, you are very strong, much stronger than I expected, but you are too arrogant and dare to enter Mount Tai alone, so don't blame me. Use your head to pay homage to the deceased.
To tell you the truth, reinforcements from the Demon Sect will arrive soon, and you are destined to be unable to get out of the Seven-Star Flying Bear Formation today. "
"Yeah?"
Kong Xuan smiled coldly: "Shen Gongbao, do you think you are the only Taoist who understands formations, while I, the Confucian, don't understand formations?"
Having said that, Kong Xuan took the initiative to close his eyes and explore the surrounding environment through mental exploration.
After Shen Gongbao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, with Kong Xuan's status in Confucianism, it was not unusual for him to come into contact with and study the Tao of Formation in depth.
“Kong Xuan, only Senior Brother Jiang and I can master the Seven-Star Flying Bear Formation. Even if you understand the formation, it’s impossible to break it.”
“Shen Gongbao, I don’t know the Seven-Star Flying Bear Formation, but I know the Seven-Star Formation and the Tiangang Beidou Formation, and I will never deviate from my sect, so your Seven-Star Flying Bear Formation cannot trap me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Xuan opened his eyes. It was obvious that he had figured out the direction, and then ran at full speed to the northeast, which was also the direction where he could get out of trouble the fastest.
“What? This is impossible?”
Shen Gongbao's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, and he immediately waved his command flag and asked the ambushing soldiers to fire arrows in an attempt to stop Kong Xuan and delay time, but this was naturally impossible.
Kong Xuan turned on the five-color canopy and the Gang Qi all the way, and charged straight ahead, receiving countless arrows from all directions. However, just when he was about to go out, he was intercepted by Yin and Shou's five men, and another round of battle started again.
But this time it was no different than before. Kong Xuan did not get entangled with Yin Shou at all. After getting rid of the siege of Yin Shou, Cao Kerang, Cao Ning, and Tantai Yu, he rushed directly to Xia Houyuan at the entrance of the formation without looking back. go.
“Jin Zhi…purge.”
With a low shout, a 20-meter-long golden sword energy extended from the big knife in Kong Xuan's hand. Xia Houyuan was frightened when he saw it.
Feeling the threat of death, Xia Houyuan instinctively wanted to turn around and run away, but found that his Qi had been locked, so he could not avoid this blow and could only choose to resist. His strong desire to survive also allowed him to break through. bottleneck.
【Ding dong, Xia Houyuan, in a life-and-death crisis, broke his own limit, and his base force is permanently +1. Currently, Xia Houyuan's base force is 105, and his force has increased to...】
It doesn't matter how much Xia Houyuan's strength has increased, because no matter how he calculates it, he can't stop Kong Xuan's full blow at 140.
brush…
As the two people's bodies intertwined, the spear in Xia Houyuan's hand shattered directly, and then his head flew out, and he died tragically on the spot.
