The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 327 Fa Zheng was plotted against

Lu Kang left with a heavy heart. He really hoped that his grandson could become a young man like Fa Zheng.

But mixed with this expectation is doubt. Is Lu Xun really qualified?
Like young wise men like Chen Xi, Zhou Yu and Fa Zheng, or even wise men who have awakened their spiritual talents, Lu Kang never thought that Lu Xun also possessed such qualifications as others said.

Lu Kang was very scared. He was afraid that all this was just his imagination, that Chen Xi's judgment was wrong, and that his happiness and excitement would end up being just a false joy.

[Imagination? What if it's not imagination? What if Chen Hou's judgment of Boyan is correct? What if Boyan really has such qualifications? ]

Lu Kang looked up at the blue sky reflected by the surface of the Yangtze River. It seemed so distant and ethereal.

[Heh, since my Jiangdong Lu family has this opportunity to make a breakthrough, why not give it a try? ]

Lu Kang made up his mind. After arriving in Donglai, he put everything else aside and the first thing he did was to set up a banquet to pay homage to his teacher.

"What did Mr. Lu want to say to us just now?" Fa Zheng scratched his head and asked Chen Xi.

Just now, Lu Kang's expression clearly showed that he wanted to say something to the two of them, but for some reason, Lu Kang just reminded them with a complicated expression to pay attention to Zhou Yu, and then left.

"Didn't you tell us to pay more attention to Zhou Gongjin?" Chen Xi said perfunctorily. What Lu Kang said was not important, so why pay attention to it.

"The key is, no one here thinks Zhou Gongjin is easy to deal with." This is the point that Fa Zheng is struggling with.

Chen Xi seemed to have sensed something and looked directly at Fa Zheng, "Didn't you activate your spiritual talent on your own initiative?"

"Does the question you asked have anything to do with Zhou Gongjin?" Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Chen Xi was up to.

Suddenly, Fa Zheng reacted and realized what Chen Xi was reminding him of.

"I didn't turn it off..." Fa Zheng's face turned red. He hadn't turned it off since he activated his spiritual talent last time. No wonder he was concerned about Lu Kang's motive for what he said just now.

Chen Xi shook his head and said nothing more. After all, Fa Zheng had just awakened his spiritual talent not long ago, so it was inevitable that he would forget such things occasionally. He just had to be more careful in the future.

However, I still hope that Fa Zheng can face this problem squarely. After all, there is Liu Ye, a guy who cannot control his spiritual talents.

……

"Xingba, the Jiangxia navy following us will be left to you to deal with." Chen Xi called to Gan Ning.

After sending the Lu family's fleet out of Chaohu Lake and into the Yangtze River, the Qingzhou fleet finally encountered the Jiangxia navy on the Yangtze River.

"Don't worry, military advisor. The Jiangxia navy alone can't hold back our Qingzhou fleet." Gan Ning stared at a warship in the Jiangxia navy with fiery eyes. His intuition told him that Zhou Yu was on it.

Chen Xi didn't say anything more when he saw this. After telling Gan Ning to be careful, he started to sort out the clouds.

"Archers, replace the etched arrows, target the enemy ships, and prepare for three breaths!" Gan Ning raised his hand, intending to let Zhou Yu see what it meant to wash the ground with artillery fire... and wash the ships.

"Shoot!" After three breaths, Gan Ning raised his arm and swung it downward with all his strength. Then, hundreds of light arrows shot up into the sky and fell on the warships of the Jiangxia navy like falling stars in broad daylight.

"Boom!" After the arrow hit the warship and the people on it, it exploded into countless tiny fragments, piercing into the soldiers' leather armor and embedding into the wooden boards of the warship.

"Boom boom boom!" After the arrow body exploded, the special etchings on the arrow branch detonated the surrounding heaven and earth essence, setting off a surge of essence, which was then mostly offset by the rising clouds.

"Damn it!" Zhou Yu looked at the small ship that was directly blown up by the light arrow with a grim face. He did not expect that the explosive arrows fired by Changshuiying after accumulating strength would be so powerful.

Zhou Yu frowned. He remembered that the Changshui explosive arrow described in the battle report sent from Shouchun was not so powerful. What was going on?

"What's going on with this cloud consumption?" Zhou Yu suddenly discovered something wrong. He quickly looked towards the clouds above that were beginning to be consumed rapidly, and then looked at the other warships that were busy dodging the attacks of the falling star arrows.

Zhou Yu was very sure that the Jiangxia navy did not release even one legion to attack.

Moreover, among the Sun Wu generals who participated in this naval battle, there was no one who could use the Xuanxiang Formation, a formation that would consume a large amount of cloud energy.

"Why were there two explosions?" Zhou Yu heard an arrow explode twice and thought he had heard it wrong.

"No, I didn't hear it wrong, there were two explosions!" Zhou Yu quickly ruled out the possibility that he had heard it wrong.

"Is this... the essence of heaven and earth exploding?" Zhou Yu finally saw the secondary explosion of essence caused by the explosion of the etched arrow.

"How is this possible!?" Zhou Yu looked in horror at the tide of energy caused by the explosion.

Zhou Yu knew very well that if it was just the explosive arrows of Changshui Camp, it would not work at all - at least the current version of the explosive arrows of Changshui Camp could not rely on elite talents to detonate the essence of heaven and earth.

In other words - "There's something wrong with their arrows!" Zhou Yu discovered the truth about the Falling Star Arrow, but unfortunately he couldn't crack it.

Even though the power of the heaven and earth essence detonated by the etched arrows equipped by Gan Ning's archers would be offset by the clouds, the explosive essence gave the arrow fragments a stronger initial power.

Zhou Yu has discovered that the reason why the cloud energy of his own troops was consumed in large quantities was because the cloud energy had to be consumed to offset the essence of heaven and earth detonated by the enemy.

If the detonated essence of heaven and earth had not been offset by the clouds, the losses suffered by the Jiangxia navy would not have been limited to the small warships following the warships and some unlucky naval soldiers.

"Damn it, what on earth are those Fenggao guys up to? They even came up with an explosive arrow that can detonate the essence of heaven and earth!"

"No, we can't let them continue firing, otherwise our warships will be sunk sooner or later." Zhou Yu turned his head with a serious expression and looked towards the starting point of the Falling Star Arrow.

Zhou Yu really didn't expect that the charged version of the explosive arrows of the Changshui Camp would be so powerful after being blessed with specially etched arrows. And Zhou Yu was very suspicious, no, he was very sure that the talent structure of the Changshui Camp had been changed.

Otherwise, even if the charged version of the explosive arrow was equipped with a special arrow, it would not be able to directly blow a big hole in a warship that had been nurtured for decades. At most, it would penetrate it.

"Archers, target the enemy's flagship, prepare for three rounds of arrow suppression, ready - fire!" Zhou Yu took a deep breath, and then began to calmly command his archers to suppress Gan Ning's flagship with arrow rain.

Because the etched arrows shot by the archers on Gan Ning's side were basically surrounded by a stream of light, Zhou Yu easily found the location of this group of archers, which was Gan Ning's flagship.

"The Han Dynasty has more than just Changshui and Shesheng archers. Let me show you how powerful the Jiangdong archers are!" Although Zhou Yu's expression remained calm, there was a lot of coldness revealed in his words.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Under Zhou Yu's personal guidance, the Jiangdong archers on the Jiangxia navy warships fired three rounds of arrows at Gan Ning's flagship in an instant.

"Is this the saturation attack of the Jiangdong archers?" Gan Ning looked up at the dense rain of arrows that was about to fall from the sky.

"Hey, Xingba, if you keep sighing there, we will be shot into sieves!" Fa Zheng roared at Gan Ning. Under such a large rain of arrows, Gan Ning actually still had the mood to sigh that the Jiangdong archers were well-deserved of their reputation. Was he really not afraid of being shot into a sieve?
He and Chen Xi had a barrier formed by their spiritual power to protect them, so they didn't have to worry about the dense rain of arrows that had already begun to fall from the sky. Gan Ning also had internal energy to protect him. But the rest of the soldiers were different. Apart from their armor, they had no other protection.

The Jiangdong archers on the opposite side were not the Xiandeng group who used cloud arrows. They used physical arrows, and the cloud barrier did not have much defense against physical attacks.

"Hey, here it comes!" Gan Ning laughed and deployed his own group defense, which was a rigid group defense that Gan Ning specially adjusted after consulting Yang Ji, just to deal with physical attacks such as arrows.

When the rain of arrows from the Jiangxia navy pressed down on the Qingzhou fleet, a compressed rigid group defense appeared above the Qingzhou fleet, barely covering the area where the rain of arrows was about to fall.

"Ding ding ding!" Countless collision sounds rang out above the Qingzhou fleet. Those were the sounds of arrows shot by Jiangdong archers hitting the rigid group defense above the Qingzhou fleet.

As the rain of arrows from the opposite side continued to impact, cracks similar to those that would appear on tempered glass after being hit appeared on the rigid group defense above the Qingzhou fleet.

"It's broken, it's about to break!" Fa Zheng shouted to remind Gan Ning, but Chen Xi covered his mouth with his hand. Saying such words at this time could easily shake the morale of the army.

Gan Ning heard Fa Zheng's loud cry, and many marines on the flagship also heard Fa Zheng's cry. They turned around and saw Fa Zheng with his mouth covered by Chen Xi.

However, Gan Ning did not pay attention to Fa Zheng's shouting that shook the army's morale, and the marines who heard Fa Zheng's shouting did not care either.

This was because the rain of arrows from the Jiangdong archers had ended, and the rigid group defense created by Gan Ning had also reached the end of its life.

"Splash~ Splash~" This is the sound of arrows piled up in the group's defense falling into the water.

"Bang!" This is the sound of the rigid group's defense shattering after accumulating enough rigid impacts, very similar to the sound of tempered glass shattering after being hit hard.

Gan Ning turned his head and looked at Fa Zheng, whose mouth was covered by Chen Xi. "Xiaozhi, don't say such discouraging words in the future when fighting. It's easy to shake the morale of the army."

Even though Chen Xi's arm was around his neck, Fa Zheng still nodded frantically despite the pain. This time he was indeed reckless.

If the marines of the Qingzhou fleet had not seen the rigid group defense method developed by Gan Ning, they would have panicked and the morale of the entire Qingzhou fleet would have been shaken.

If the Qingzhou fleet suffered a defeat, or even suffered heavy losses from the attack of the Jiangxia navy, the responsibility that Fa Zheng would have to bear would be beyond the reach of a prime minister of Qi.

Gan Ning turned around and continued to command the Qingzhou fleet to fight against the Jiangxia navy, but Chen Xi let go of Fa Zheng and looked at him very seriously.

"Xiaozhi, this is not your first time on the battlefield. Why did you make such an extremely wrong mistake this time?" Chen Xi asked Fa Zheng seriously.

Logically speaking, with Fa Zheng's wisdom and experience on the battlefield, he should not have made such a low-level mistake.

Fa Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while with a gloomy face, then shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened. When I saw the crystal crack just now, I subconsciously shouted out."

Fa Zheng also couldn't understand why he shouted out just now. He knew that such an extremely low-level mistake should never be made, but why did he subconsciously do such a stupid thing?

"You can't shirk responsibility for this kind of low-level mistake by simply saying you didn't know." Chen Xi shook his head. He already knew what happened.

"You should check yourself first to see if you have been targeted by the enemy." It can only be said that Zhou Yu's spiritual talent is really subtle and effective.

After hearing Chen Xi's suggestive reminder, Fa Zheng's already gloomy face became even gloomier, as if water was about to drip out of it.

Rays of light appeared on Fa Zheng's body. He was using various secret techniques to check whether his body and mental will were interfered with by some special talents or secret techniques.

"Zhou Gongjin!" The faint light of the secret technique on Fa Zheng's body went out, but Fa Zheng gritted his teeth. He had already discovered who had plotted against him just now.

"It seems that you already know who is responsible for this." Chen Xi asked Fa Zheng while assisting Gan Ning in sorting out the clouds. Fa Zheng was doing a self-examination just now, so Chen Xi did not take him with him.

Fa Zheng nodded silently. Through the self-examination just now, he found that he had just been affected by some kind of spiritual talent.

"Since you know your opponent in this battle is Zhou Gongjin, have you ever thought about guarding against his spiritual talent?

I remember Zi Yu told you what Zhou Gongjin's spiritual talent was before?" Chen Xi asked in confusion.

Moreover, before the war, they talked about Zhou Gongjin quite a lot, right? How could Fa Zheng ignore this? Chen Xi was a little confused.

"Zichuan, stop talking. This is indeed my fault. I will take the blame and accept the punishment." Fa Zheng had already figured it out by now. He should have been on high alert the moment he knew his opponent was Zhou Yu.

Instead of remembering Zhou Yu’s spiritual talent only when they were being plotted against, they remembered to be on high alert immediately when they met Zhou Yu.
