Chapter 410: The Landing Battle Ends

Zhou Yu, who had no idea what Li Yan was thinking, was wondering what Li Yan was doing. With Li Yan's ability, he should have discovered Yang Ji's actions. Why did he suddenly start fighting with Chen Dao and some unknown officer?
In a place that Li Yanchen did not notice, the army commanded by Yang Ji was about to surround the coastal defense forces that were being held back by the Bai Li soldiers.

No - it should be that the enemy's coastal defense forces blocked the advance route of Yang Ji's army. If Li Yan did not retreat, he would be surrounded by Yang Ji's army. In other words, he would be ruthlessly wiped out by Yang Ji's army as invalid writing on the blackboard.

Zhou Yu didn’t know what was going on with Li Yan. Did he think that after awakening his legion talent, he could stop the army’s encirclement?
Don't be ridiculous. With less than 3,000 people left in the coastal defense force, how could they possibly stop Yang Ji's 60,000-strong army? What's more, the Bai Li soldiers were suppressing Li Yan's coastal defense force.

Now the remaining shore defense forces are just relying on Li Yan's legion talent to strengthen their own elite talents and are dealing with the Bai Li soldiers. It's called dealing with them, but in fact they are being beaten. From time to time, some people can't stand the attack of the Bai Li soldiers and fall down.

"Tell Li Yan not to fight with the enemy generals anymore, and let him retreat quickly with the remaining troops. Also let him take a look at his current situation!" Zhou Yu suppressed his anger and asked the messenger to quickly inform Li Yan of his current situation.

After Zhou Yu passed on his order, the expression on his face became a little unnatural, as if he was angered by Li Yan's audacity after he advanced to the level of internal energy leaving the body.

Just now when Li Yan chose to break through the internal energy and leave his body on the spot, Zhou Yu felt that Li Yan had finally realized his current shortcomings and made his own choice.

However, what Zhou Yu never expected was that Li Yan was so immersed in the pleasure brought by the surge in martial power that he forgot the responsibilities he had at the time. He left his subordinates aside and ran off to fight with others, without realizing that he and his subordinates were in an extremely dangerous situation.

Li Yan wanted to test his combat effectiveness after the breakthrough, but Zhou Yu didn't care. After all, once humans mastered powerful violence, they would always want to test their own strength. However, Li Yan put the lives of his soldiers in the back, which made Zhou Yu angry.

If Li Yan used the lives of his subordinates as bait or something, Zhou Yu would at most remind Li Yan to pay attention to his ability to make those soldiers acting as bait play the desired effect and not to trap himself and his friendly forces.

As for using the lives of his subordinates as bait to gain a greater victory, Zhou Yu believed that this behavior was nothing. If necessary, he could take this action as long as it could bring victory to everyone.

However, what Li Yan was doing now did not seem to be about bringing victory to everyone. Instead, it looked like he was leading everyone into a trap. This made Zhou Yu wonder whether Li Yan had been dazzled by his newfound power and actually wanted to rely on his own force to break the status quo.

"Boom, boom, boom!" A series of special drum sounds rang out and reached the ears of the disheveled Li Yan. Li Yan realized what message the drum sounds wanted to convey and smiled bitterly. He also wanted to lead his troops to retreat, but unfortunately he had been completely held back by the two guys in front of him. Even the troops under his command were completely held back by the Bai Li soldiers, and there was no way they could come to help him.

He guessed that he would really fall into the hands of the enemy now - while being knocked away again, Li Yan turned his head to glance at Zhou Yu in the distance, and such a thought flashed through his mind.

"What's going on?" Zhou Yu frowned and looked at Li Yan who was still in a fierce battle. The order had been given, so why didn't Li Yan move?

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Li Yan to disobey orders. Even if there is a problem with Li Yan's mentality, the powerful force brought by the breakthrough will aggravate this problem. However, their current situation is enough to break Li Yan's inflated mentality. After regaining his rationality, Li Yan must understand the current situation with his ability.

In other words, it’s not that Li Yan doesn’t want to retreat, but the current situation prevents him from retreating.

"Damn it, why are you acting so good? It's easy for me to misjudge like this." Zhou Yu said in a low voice, biting his bloodless lips. Li Yan looked very embarrassed when fighting with Chen Dao and Cheng Yu, but Chen Dao and Cheng Yu didn't look much better, at most they were slightly better than Li Yan.

Although Zhou Yu had Sun Ce, a close friend of his who could perform internal energy separation by his side, Sun Ce told Zhou Yu about his situation without reservation, allowing Zhou Yu to get a glimpse of the mystery of a martial artist who could perform internal energy separation.

But Zhou Yu himself was not a martial artist who could achieve internal Qi leaving the body after all, and his understanding of the nature of internal Qi leaving the body was only the internal Qi leaving the body in the eyes of others. The nature of internal Qi leaving the body as described by others had actually been partially distorted, which led Zhou Yu to make certain misjudgments in his understanding of internal Qi leaving the body.

On the surface, the fight between Li Yan and Chen Dao and Cheng Yu was indeed close, but in fact, Chen Dao and Cheng Yu had the upper hand. Li Yan fought hard to achieve such a result, while Chen Dao and Cheng Yu obviously had some strength left.

If Li Yan had performed a little worse, Zhou Yu would have discovered his current situation. Unfortunately, Li Yan couldn't perform any worse, otherwise he would have had to stay in the formation and let Chen Dao and Cheng Yu drag him away and capture him.

After complaining, Zhou Yu began to have a headache about how to rescue Li Yan and the coastal defense forces. After all, Li Yan was a warrior with the ability to leave his body and awaken his legionary talent. If Li Yan were to command the elite Danyang troops with double talents, it would be great if he could delay the Bai Li soldiers for a while.

"Messenger, ask Li Tong to find a few archers to use powerful arrows to attack Li Yan's opponents and free Li Yan from the battle." Zhou Yu thought of a solution which was not a solution. After all, he did not have any powerful warriors or elite teams who could make the final decision. Fortunately, although they did not have much else, they still had quite a few archers.

"What the hell is Li Zhengfang doing?" Li Tong couldn't help cursing after receiving Zhou Yu's order. He thought that Li Yan was still in the battle formation until this moment because he received Zhou Yu's signal. It turned out that Li Yan couldn't come back. Then, wouldn't his breakthrough of internal energy be in vain?

Li Tong observed the battle on Li Yan's side. It had only been a short while, but Li Yan, who had been holding on just now, was almost unable to hold on. If it weren't for the few guards beside him who bravely blocked the sword, he might have been torn into pieces by Chen Dao and Cheng Yu.

After discovering Li Yan's critical condition, Li Tong quickly ordered several archers to try to kill Chen Dao and Cheng Yu. In this era, archers who specialize in bows and arrows are more powerful than snipers in later generations. With the bonus of elite talents, they can't be weak even if they want to. "Ding!" Chen Dao, who was about to kill Li Yan, suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He subconsciously raised his knife and turned around to chop backwards. A ray of sparks splashed out, illuminating Chen Dao's extremely horrified face. In this era, there are such silent archers?
"Swish! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Just as Chen Dao was gently stroking his violently beating heart, several streams of light rose straight into the air from the enemy forces, reached a high point, and then fell towards them at a high speed.

The movement over here by Chen Dao also attracted Cheng Yu's attention. He also saw sparks splashing in front of Chen Dao, and then several streams of light falling towards them at a high speed. The feeling of being locked by the stream of light made Cheng Yu's scalp explode. Without thinking, his body instinctively rolled to the side.

Several streaks of light from the sky were reflected in Chen Dao's pupils. Facing the deadly threat from the sky, Chen Dao's will suddenly became firm, and then suddenly exploded. The long sword in his hand drew out a bright sword light that flew towards the sky, collided with those streaks of light, and then disappeared into nothingness.

Chen Dao turned his head expressionlessly and looked at Li Yan who had just been knocked to the ground. Sure enough, Li Yan had already run away. Even the bodyguards who had blocked the knife for Li Yan were carried away by Li Yan. Although it was not known why Li Yan could still carry people after being seriously injured.

"Do you have to be careful of the opponent's archer?" Cheng Yu, who got up from the side, patted his tattered armor and asked Chen Dao. He didn't know that the archer was so threatening. Even someone like him who was almost immune to arrow attacks felt a fatal threat.

"You are underestimating those archers. Any archer who has reached the highest level of archery cannot be underestimated. If it were possible, these archers might have a natural talent in archery." Chen Dao shook his head. He once heard Yang Ji say that some immortal veterans were able to fight head-on with their internal Qi leaving their bodies, and that was in the absence of any cloud energy.

Even under the clouds, ordinary people with internal energy leaving the body would have to avoid immortal veterans of this level, because they could exert their full strength, while ordinary people with internal energy leaving the body could not, even though this path would take a very long time.

However, compared to the qualifications required for internal Qi to leave the body, the qualification threshold required for talent smelting is almost negligible. All that is needed is hard work and practice.

As long as your own will can be integrated into a collective will, it will be possible to completely master a certain elite talent possessed by this collective, or learn other types of elite talents from your comrades, and then integrate them into yourself, simulating the collective will with your own will and exerting the abilities of elite talents.

To be honest, Yang Ji always felt that elite talent was also one of the ways for ordinary people to master extraordinary powers, and internal energy was not the only key.

"In addition to the archers, they should have also mobilized the power of the legion. Otherwise, even the archers would not have been able to launch an attack of that level before." Chen Dao was extremely familiar with the legion's cooperation. How could he not notice the collective power wrapped around the arrows?

"They actually have a legion that can make the legions work together?" Cheng Yu's eyes widened as he watched Chen Dao take over the command of the Bai Li soldiers again.

"I've told you before, the fleeing legion in front of us is not using legion synergy. They are just their elite talents enhanced by Li Yan's legion talents, showing the nature of legion synergy." Chen Dao shook his head. This is the main reason why the coastal defense forces under Li Yan's command can hold out for so long. Otherwise, how can a legion talent create a powerful legion?

Cheng Yu also shook his head, indicating that he and Chen Dao had different opinions on this point. In his opinion, the two can actually be classified into the same category, regardless of how the talent effect is achieved or what the talent structure is, but since they show the same talent effect, they are the same type of talent.

"Forget it. Everyone has his or her own unique understanding of the world. It is extremely difficult to find a like-minded person who is willing to work hard together, so seeking common ground while reserving differences is the mainstream of this world." Chen Dao nodded slightly, agreeing with Cheng Yu's point of view.

"Seek common ground while reserving differences..." Cheng Yu repeatedly chewed on these words that should not have come out of Chen Dao's mouth. He felt that they contained inexplicable power while conflicting with what he had done.

No, it should be said that it is naturally contrary to what Cao Cao did. Although Cao Cao is very tolerant of others - provided that you are still useful, but because of Cao Cao's personality and ability, Cao Cao may seek common ground while reserving differences in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, after Cao Cao's overbearing side is revealed, there is probably only one voice that Cao Cao can listen to and accept -

That is the voice that conforms to Cao Cao's will, and the rest are discordant noises.

"General, do you want to continue pursuing Li Yan's troops?" Chen Dao sent a pursuit request to Yang Ji. He wanted to try to pursue Li Yan's troops who had already escaped from the battle. Li Yan's legion talent and the Danyang soldiers were really compatible. In this situation, Li Yan could lead his coastal defense troops to escape from the battle. This was a bit troublesome. After all, most of the enemy troops on the opposite side were Jiangdong infantry with the cooperation of Danyang.

"Because of Li Yan's legion talent?" Yang Ji's voice came through the power of will. Li Yan's legion talent was so obvious, how could Yang Ji not have noticed it.

"Most of the enemy's legions have the cooperation of Danyang. I am worried that Li Yan's escape will have other impacts on our army's subsequent deployment." Chen Dao said. He also had a contribution to Li Yan's breakthrough of internal energy leaving his body during the battle, and it was only right to arrest him and bring him to justice.

"Haha, Shuzhi, if this talent was awakened by Zhou Gongjin, I would be worried. But, as for Li Yan, it's actually just like that." Yang Ji's slightly gentle laughter softly echoed in Chen Dao's ears.

Chen Dao was silent for a while. To Yang Ji, people like Li Yan who needed to rely on the talents of the legion to perform corresponding operations did not really need much attention.

However, that was only for Yang Ji himself. For ordinary generals like them, Li Yan's legion talent was still quite tricky.
