Chapter 255 Qi Blast and Qi Shield (1/2)

Chapter 255 – Qi Blast and Qi Shield

If a look could kill, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji would have killed Xun Yu several times over. Friday was also not happy with Xun Yu's attitude. Thus, she stood up.

”The meeting is adjourned for today. We will not mobilize until our strategist come up with a proper stratagem. However …”

Friday glared at Xun Yu without hiding her killing intent.

”If this person deserts our army before he thinks of a good strategy, don't hesitate to kill him. Also, we don't welcome lazy people in our ranks. Please keep that in mind.”

Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu bowed and glanced at Xun Yu with a grin.

Unperturbed, Xun Yu snorted and left the tent, returning to his designated camp.

While Xun Yu was returning, he did not day-dream like earlier. His expression was sharp as he was seriously thinking about the correct approach to defeat Sun Jian.

'We can't be the aggressor, but we have to be passive. We are short on numbers and the quality of the generals so taking the initiative is a bad move.'

'Sun Jian has Huang Gai and Cheng Pu. Those three are enough to decimate our army to shred, and there's Sun Fang and Li Jing. Those immortals can destroy an army of 10,000 men by themselves.'

'The intel from Xuchang doesn't cover Xiao Wu's true abilities. I don't know what kind of magic power she possesses.'

'I want to ask her, but she might lie to me. That Jia Xu has already ratted me that I'm here as a spy for my family.'

'No, I don't have times to worry about their thoughts on me. I need to stop them from mobilizing but defending this county.'

Xun Yu's thought was in a mess, but he organized them in his own ways. As he was absentminded, his feet already brought him back to his tent.

Inside, another strategic table was in the middle of the tent. The similar tokens and dolls were placed on the same spots as in the central tent.

However, there was a difference.

Xun Yu did not put Xiao Wu with any platoon of soldiers. He placed her individually instead of having her leading a battalion.

'From the eyewitnesses, Sun Fang can fly and use an explosive magic. Li Jing can suddenly appear in a shadow of anyone and assassinate the person. This combination works against us no matter where I see it.'

Xun Yu massaged his temples. He sat on a chair beside the strategic table to rest and think.

For the entire day, Xun Yu did nothing but trying to find a solution to the problems without relying on anyone else.

He did not know that behind him, a transparent female ghost was watching him. It left him alone after observing Xun Yu for a few hours.

…

The ghost being was [Lust Soul] which Friday had borrowed from Tong. It returned to her body without anyone noticing its existence.

Friday, who was resting in her tent, sighed a relief as she understood a bit of Xun Yu's personality.

'A prideful strategist …'

In Friday's point of view, Xun Yu might appear untrustworthy and lazy at a glance, but he was a hard worker behind their back. It was as if he did not want to be noticed by the enemy spies, or he did not like being in a spotlight.

Friday groaned as she did not like a dishonest person. Yet, she wrote a letter and gave it to a messenger, telling them to send it to Xun Yu.

Inside the letter, it contained her list of abilities, such as speed, power, and her [Lamia Step] cultivation. She also added that if Xun Yu were to join Tong's immortal clan, he would get lifespans and other benefits that no mortal warlord could give him.

'I'll trust you, but you have to trust us, Xun Yu.'

…

…

February 20th, 183 A.D.

Sun Fang flew through the sky alone, making a beeline toward Zhao County.

His objective, which was entrusted by Sun Jian, was to sabotage Xiao Wu Army by dropping a bomb using his skill. As someone who could fly, Li Jing suggested that Sun Fang should employ aerial warfare into this battle.

'Carpet bomb, incoming! HAHAHAHA!'

Feeling good by himself, Sun Fang hummed in his mind. Nothing felt better than having the upper hand or insurance in an important battle. As long as he was in the air, no one could touch him.

It took Sun Fang ten minutes to reach Zhao County airspace. He flew down, lowering the altitude so he could get a better view of the troops below.

Sure enough, military camps of Ye Army was there.

'I can only drop it once a day. Which place should I aim? Eeny Meeny Miney Mo, My ex-wife is a goddamn ho!'

Sun Fang picked the central granary as the target and pointed his palm at the target.

'[Qi Blast]!'

A fireball was launched from Sun Fang's palm, heading toward the granary.

*BOOM*

A wide radius explosive noise could be heard as a bubble of flame engulfed wooden buildings around the center of the explosion.

'Mission accomplished. Tomorrow, I'll blow some soldiers.'

Sun Fang smiled and turned around, planning to head back to base. As he was about to change to the velocity of his flight, the corner of his eyes caught sight of a pretty girl with noticeable assets, running toward his direction.

The girl made a posture as if she was about to throw something at him, which made Sun Fang laughed.

'Silly girl. You can't do shit! I'm over a thousand feet above the ground. What are you going to do, throwing a spear at me? Pfft! Only reincarnators can harm me …? Wait a minute, a reincarnator?'

A spear tip already appeared in front of Sun Fang's face.

'Shield!'

*DONK*

Sun Fang heard the sound of a bell as the spear was stopped by the transparent dome which surrounded his body.
