Chapter 257


    Chapter 257 – Friday’s Weaknesses?


    February 22nd .


    Li Jing was looking at her skill status as she was thinking if she should join the frontline with Sun Fang or not .


    This year, she had already borrowed Sun Fang’s lifespans to rebuy two more skills, but there were still eight more skills that she had to get back .

    - The target must be in the host’s line of sight .


    *******************


    Although the skills were powerful, Li Jing was not confident that her skills would be useful against the ghost soldier that Sun Fang had encountered .


    Li Jing nned to disguise herself as a scout and mix in with Sun Jian’s men to the frontline . If she could catch a sight of Xiao Wu, Li Jing could use the [Weakness Detection] on her so she could know a bit more about this otherworlder enemy .


    However, the n was too risky as this Xiao Wu had a dangerous skill that they could not find a way to counter it, the ghost soldier .


    ’This is soplicated . If it’s just us against the ordinary people, we could have won easily . Now, it’s about which reincarnator faction that can dominate the country first . But, it’s also my chance . If I can kill her, I canplete my system quest and get another skill back . ’


    >


    A n message alert woke Li Jing from her trance .


    Cheng Pu: We’re heading out today .


    Cheng Pu: There’s an intel about a bandit group in the east .


    Cheng Pu: I’m going after them .


    Huang Gai: Good luck .


    Huang Gai: I’m staying in Guanzong for now .


    Huang Gai: No intel from my men yet .


    Huang Gai and Cheng Pu had joined Sun Fang and Li Jing’s n this year, which made their n an official n level one, which was eligible to obtain the n quest .


    ************************


    >


    Quest Objective: upy at least one county or a Commandery city .


    Reward:


    - 10,000 Lifespan Pool for each Commandery upied .


    - One Shopping Pass for each Commandery upied .


    - 1,000 Lifespan Pool for each county upied .


    - Rewards are given at the end of each year .


    ************************


    The rewards were attractive, but they had to go through a lot of troubles as Sun Jian and Li Jing’s family had not obtained a headquarter city that could be their home ground yet .


    Sun Jian was still a servant of Tao Qian this year . He was not even a governor of a small county!


    Li Jing read the chat messages and sighed .


    ’This war can be an opportunity for Sun Jian to reap some recognition and rewards, but the opponent is different than in history . They are not illiterate bandits, but veteran soldiers with proper leaders! The risk is too high!’


    >


    Another message came from Sun Jian .


    "Our scout detected a 1,000-man unit of light cavalries west of Guanzong . Xiao Wu is leading the troops herself!"


    The message gave Li Jing a bit of hope . This was a good chance that she could scout Xiao Wu’s weaknesses .


    ...


    ...


    The Lust Soul of Friday had a limited range of operation as the soul did not belong to her . Thus, she could only deploy the soul in a radius of 10 kilometers . If the soul had gone outside of her range, Friday would have a rough time trying to control the soul .


    It was frustrating for her . Had it been her [Soul of Sins] which she had awakened them herself, she could have sent it 1,000 kilometers away without a problem .


    The limitation of 10 kilometers forced her to move closer to Guanzong as she had nned to deploy the soul to attack Sun Jian Army .


    As Friday and 1,000 bodyguards got closer to Guanzong, her eyes caught a suspicious ck dot, which was flying in the sky .


    Sun Fang was there!


    ’That guy is here . I can’t let my men get closer!’


    "Men, loose formation! Keep your eyes in the sky . There will be a magic attacking from above . Get ready to dodge the explosive magic!"


    Friday took a spear from a spear package on horseback behind her . Because of the lesson on the other day, Friday took extra spears with her so she could throw it at Sun Fang if he were to show up again .


    The bundle of spears contained 20 spears . In addition, the bodyguards were also carrying the same spear package with them as spares for Friday .


    It did not take long that a ball of [Qi st] was flying toward Friday and her subordinates .


    As the energy ball wasing down, a spear was thrown and made contact with it in mid-air .


    *BOOM*


    The [Qi st] exploded the moment it contacted with Friday’s spear, saving the lives of her bodyguards .


    "My turn, boy!"


    Friday threw another spear at Sun Fang, who was still floating in the air . At the same time, the transparent spirit of Lust Soul exited Friday’s body and chased after Sun Fang .


    *DONG*


    The spear hit Sun Fang’s shield . The young man who received the attack watched the following ghost soldier in horror .


    "I knew it! That ghost is her skill! It’s like some kind of JoJo’s stand!"


    Sun Fang had not flown away even though the naked ghost wasing at him . The reason he had to stay and "tank" the damages because there was a hidden group of horsemen who were sneaking closer to Friday .


    As nned, Li Jing was sneaking with her troops to use her [Weakness Detection] on Friday .


    *DONG*


    *DONG*


    Flying spears came one after another . Sun Fang tried to fly around to dodge all of it, yet he failed as the ghost soldier blocked his escape path .


    Sun Fang kept his distance from Lust Soul as her spear could cause more damage to his lifespans than the throwing spears . As he continued to escape from the soul, the flight patterns of both Sun Fang and Lust Soul became visible to all people on the ground .


    It became a dogfight in the sky .


    The attention of Friday and her bodyguards were on the sky, which they failed to notice the oing troops .


    *RUMBLE*


    A group of 5,000 light cavalries managed to get into the range of one kilometer without being detected by Friday and her scouts . Li Jing galloped her horse on the front, leading her soldiers .


    By the time that the bodyguards noticed their troops, they were already 500 meters in front of them .


    Li Jing’s eyes stared straight at Friday, who still had her attention on Sun Fang .


    ’[Weakness Detection]!’ Li Jing activated her skill and series of information appeared .

    **************************


    Long details about Friday appeared in her system log messages, which astonished Li Jing . She skipped a few irrelevant information, such as her immoral lifestyles and her sex life, and focused on Friday’s secret and herbat weaknesses .


    To Li Jing’s disappointment, Friday did not have a weakness that both Li Jing and Sun Fang could exploit in the current battlefield .


    ’There are many hints, but we won’t survive if we fight her head-on! We don’t even know how to destroy her [Lust Soul]! And what is this soul thing!? The secret said she doesn’t have a skill, but why can she using it? I don’t understand!’


    As Li Jing was confused, her men already misunderstood her order and formed a wedge formation to charge to Friday and her horsemen .


    At this moment, Friday already noticed themotion .


    "Nice try, but you picked the wrong opponent . "


    Friday summoned her soul back and switched her target from Sun Fang to the charging cavalries . Unlike how she threw her spears at Sun Fang, Friday used less force to increase her speed . As a result, she threw all weapons behind her back in five seconds .


    Ten spears pierced through ten riders, who were charging at Friday’s squad . The horsemen fell down, leaving the galloping horses without riders .


    "Men, turnabout and take out your crossbows! Run away from them and shoot back!" Friday gave hermand .


    The light cavalries pulled their horses around and began running away from the charging Li Jing’s soldiers . Friday also followed after them and took a spear package from a nearby subordinate, but she hung back as their rearguard .


    As soon as the running away soldiers managed to adjust their horses, they turned around and aimed their repeating crossbows at the pursuing riders .


    Arrow rain arrived at the pursuing horsemen, piercing their bodies and their horses . Several riders copsed onto the ground with their horses as loud death throes and horse neigh noises covered the battlefield .


    The panicked Li Jing leaped off her horse the moment she saw the dense wall of arrows flying in the sky . She ced her hand on to the ground where her shadow was and activated her skill . After which, her body sank into her own shadow and disappeared from the battlefield .


    Sun Fang also took this chance to fly away from the battle, leaving the 5,000 horsemen behind .


    For less than 5 minutes, the repeating crossbows continued firing until all of them emptied their clips . When Friday’s unit observed the battlefield again, the pursuing horsemen were either dead or had escaped .


    Friday raised her fist, signaling her soldiers to reform their ranks .


    "We’re not done over here yet! Follow me!"


    The one thousand riders continued marching to Guanzong County, ignoring the injured and crippled enemy soldiers who were shot by their arrows .


    Sun Jian’s soldiers watched them leave withplicated emotion . They were relieved that they could scrape away with their lives, but the terror of the rumored repeating arrows frightened them .


    A thousand soldiers were capable of sending arrow volleys as if there were ten thousands of archers . They had never witnessed anything like this .


    "What’s next, captain?"


    A surviving soldier asked their injured captain, who had broken his legs and had an arrow in his right shoulder . Several hundreds of soldiers were still alive .


    "We’ll report this to our Lord! We can’t fight them head-on!"
