Holy shit!
Equipment dropped!
Xiao Wen's eyes widened as a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
This really was a damn unexpected joy.
In the early stages of the game, equipment was an exceptionally precious thing.
And the drop rate was extremely moving.
After all, not everyone could be like Xiao Wen, knowing so many little shortcuts for equipment draws.
Of course, even for Xiao Wen, what he could remember were only the sources of some relatively valuable equipment.
On the contrary, he could not remember a single one of these basic equipment sources.
This did not mean Xiao Wen did not crave these low-level pieces of equipment.
Quite the opposite. These things were especially important to Xiao Wen.
In his previous life, among the lord martial skills he had created himself, there was one move that required this thing.
Reaching out, he grabbed the Horse-Chopping Blade and Brass Armor from his bag. Then, after putting on the armor and gripping the weapon, Xiao Wen saw that Ma Chao and the others had already entered the battlefield below, so he immediately led the remaining two hundred soldiers in the territory out to provide support.
The group rushed out in a grand, surging wave.
As he charged outward, Xiao Wen silently opened the Lord Skill Bar, then clicked on Self-Created Skills.
Ding! Skill comprehension in progress. Player, do you wish to activate Skill Comprehension Mode?
Yes!
Xiao Wen chose yes. Immediately afterward, he saw a small progress bar slowly moving beneath the Self-Created Skill Bar.
He only glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze, paying it no further attention.
He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. The instant he gripped the weapon, his entire aura underwent an earth-shaking transformation.
Compared to being a schemer seated behind the scenes, Xiao Wen preferred charging and killing at the front of the battlefield. He preferred that kind of blood-boiling battle.
Just like now.
Gripping the Horse-Chopping Blade, he charged out to support Ma Chao.
Hearing the familiar waves of battle cries coming from behind him, Ma Chao's spirit shook. The Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand swept horizontally, striking a Horse-Chopping Blade and forcing the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier in front of him backward.
Then, taking advantage of the clear opening, he stabbed with one spear thrust, piercing through the enemy's throat.
"Find the weak points and strike fatally!"
Ma Chao roared, instantly causing the soldiers under his command, who had originally been somewhat timid, to experience a massive boost in morale. As they swung the long spears in their hands, they began repeatedly targeting the weak points in the Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers' defenses, managing to deal some damage to them.
Xiao Wen led the army forward to provide support. In an instant, battle cries rang out continuously, and Xiao Wen personally entered the field, charging and killing at the front.
From the corner of his eye, Ma Chao saw this scene and was immediately shocked. With one spear strike, he knocked away the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier in front of him, then prepared to rush toward Xiao Wen and protect him.
However, before he could reach Xiao Wen's side, he saw Xiao Wen swing the Horse-Chopping Blade in his hand, slashing toward a Yellow Turban Elite Soldier in front of him.
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier revealed a savage grin, swinging the Horse-Chopping Blade in his hand toward Xiao Wen.
However, just as the weapon in his hand chopped down, the Horse-Chopping Blade in Xiao Wen's hand suddenly changed direction in midair, drawing an arc. His body slightly retreated backward, dodging the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier's strike by the tiniest margin.
At the same time, Xiao Wen swept the Horse-Chopping Blade horizontally, suspending it in midair and cutting across the enemy's neck.
Critical Hit, HP -999.
The red damage number appeared, and the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier was instantly killed by Xiao Wen after he seized the weak point!
Ma Chao watched this, and his heart was greatly shaken.
Other people could not see the profound subtlety within that strike just now, but he could.
That was clearly a strike that could only be unleashed by someone with an extremely refined grasp of timing and strength.
The force behind the strike just now was not very powerful, but it had perfectly targeted the timing, caught the flaw in the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier's attack, and used the inertia of the enemy's own movement and the force of his blade swing to cut in through the neck, directly triggering a critical hit and killing the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier.
My lord is so strong!
This thought flashed through Ma Chao's mind.
Just as he was hesitating over whether he should still rush forward to help his lord, he saw that after killing the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier, Xiao Wen casually put the Horse-Chopping Blade that had dropped into his bag space.
Immediately afterward, four Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers surrounded him from all sides.
Attacks came from four directions. Clearly, they had seen Xiao Wen's strike just now and wanted to kill this dangerous fellow first.
Xiao Wen looked at the Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers charging at him from all four sides. His expression was extremely calm, without the slightest panic. He could even call out to Ma Chao, who was not far away:
"General, there is no need to worry about me. Just kill the enemy yourself. These few fellows still can't stop me!"
Xiao Wen laughed loudly, feeling utterly exhilarated.
It was exactly this feeling of being trapped on the battlefield, deep within danger, that made him feel every cell in his body jumping. The hot blood sleeping within his body awakened at this moment, allowing him to find a few traces of the pleasure he had felt in his previous life.
Kill!
Gripping the Horse-Chopping Blade, Xiao Wen faced the Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers attacking from all four directions. Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging directly toward the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier in front of him.
The Horse-Chopping Blade in his hand danced, slashing toward the enemy's head.
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier used his Horse-Chopping Blade to counterattack, cutting off Xiao Wen's strike.
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out as Xiao Wen's attack was deflected.
Parry, HP -1.
Parry, HP -1.
Red damage numbers rose from above Xiao Wen and the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier at the same time. The three Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers behind him, on his left, and on his right almost attacked simultaneously, killing toward Xiao Wen.
Sensing the directions from which these three bloody gusts were coming, Xiao Wen's expression turned stern. He took a small-range crossing step, retreating sideways to avoid the attack from the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier behind him.
Then his body lowered, and the Horse-Chopping Blade in his hand lifted along with it. With an upward slash, he directly severed the arm holding the Horse-Chopping Blade of the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier attacking from the left.
Severing Strike, HP -499.
A red damage number appeared, followed by a pained cry. Xiao Wen remained expressionless. Taking advantage of the momentum, he slashed out with the Horse-Chopping Blade in his hand, striking the blade of the Horse-Chopping Blade falling through midair. Then, with a clang, the Horse-Chopping Blade in midair was sent flying by Xiao Wen's strike, shooting through the air toward the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier attacking from the right.
The Yellow Turban Elite Soldier on the right was greatly shocked and hurriedly withdrew the Horse-Chopping Blade he had swung out, using it to block the incoming weapon.
Clang!
The Horse-Chopping Blade that Xiao Wen had knocked away fell to the ground, while the attack of the Yellow Turban Elite Soldier on the right was perfectly restrained, causing his charging momentum to collapse.
The joint encirclement of the four Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers was completely broken by Xiao Wen in an instant through a chain of minute movements.
Ma Chao saw this scene, and his heart was greatly shocked.
My lord, a true master never reveals himself!
Immediately, he dismissed the thought of going forward to help. Instead, he turned toward the group of Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers before him, his face cold. The Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand danced as he attacked forward.
After Xiao Wen broke through the encirclement of the four Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers, killing them all afterward was naturally no difficult matter.
He merely swung his blade a few more times and slaughtered the four Yellow Turban Elite Soldiers, leaving behind several pieces of equipment, all of which Xiao Wen stored in his backpack.
He looked indifferently at the progress of the Self-Created Skill progress bar.
78%...
