Chapter 2613 The Dragon and Tiger Ranking, Twenty-Four Fierce Generals
"clang!!!"
The deafening clang of metal against metal was more intense than any previous collision, and a visible shockwave exploded out in a ring, kicking up sand and dust from the ground.
Jiang Hou felt an unimaginable, immense force coming from the hilt of the sword. Even as a final-level divine general, he was still shaken by this blow, his arms went numb, and his blood surged.
Although he was completely unprepared for this attack, it was something no ordinary person could do. The newcomer was extremely strong, far surpassing the two opponents he had just faced.
"Who goes there?" Jiang Hou was horrified. He took a half step back, drew his knife to protect himself, and shouted sharply.
He had fought for many years and had not encountered many people who could so easily withstand his full-force strike and even repel him.
As the dust settled, a lone rider stood before Leonidas and Lancelot, his figure ablaze with light.
Although the newcomer was not as burly as one might have imagined, he was clad in a set of menacing, dark red beast-faced chainmail armor that seemed to flow with blood-red light, and wore a red-tasseled helmet. His face was pale gold, and his eyes were bright as stars, which gave him a unique air of authority.
In particular, he carried an unusually long weapon, neither a spear nor a lance, entirely black except for a single point of cold light flickering at its tip, exuding a chilling and menacing aura.
This man was none other than Li Cunxiao, the Flying Tiger General of the Great Han Dynasty, who was hailed as one of the top generals of his time!
As Bai Qi's vanguard, he led a portion of his cavalry to the rescue ahead of time.
In the middle of the night yesterday, he ran into the men who had requested reinforcements from Leonidas, so he came ahead alone and handed over the cavalry squads he was leading to his deputy commander.
On the battlefield, Li Cunxiao completely ignored Jiang Hou's questioning. He first quickly glanced at Leonidas and Lancelot behind him, whose auras were weak and whose heavy armor was stained with blood. Seeing that the two were seriously injured but not in immediate danger, the anger in his eyes subsided slightly.
Immediately, those gazes, like two sharp swords, fixed intently on Jiang Hou.
"What a fine general! I never imagined that besides Jiang Qianqiu, there would be someone like you in the Great Qian Dynasty?"
"You wouldn't happen to be Jiang Hou, would you?" Li Cunxiao guessed.
Right now, in the midst of a great battle, Jiang Hou's aura is at its peak, and in Li Cunxiao's memory, only Jiang Hou can match this image.
After all, there are only a handful of people in the Great Qian Dynasty with such strength.
"It is indeed I, and you are Li Cunxiao?" Jiang Hou also asked, guessing.
For Jiang Hou, Li Cunxiao was even easier to guess. With his appearance and the strange, cold moves he used, it wouldn't be hard for anyone, let alone a big man, to guess him.
As the Dragon and Tiger Rankings spread throughout the world, the basic information of these individuals also spread far and wide.
In the latest Dragon and Tiger Ranking released half a year ago, with the successive deaths of a number of veteran masters, the characters and status on the list have undergone tremendous changes.
After all, in the past few years, even those who were originally ranked in the top twenty of the Dragon and Tiger Rankings have died in battle.
These past few years have also been the years with the most intense fighting in various places. Many places have been turned into a mess. Some people have become famous because of this, but others have also been completely ruined.
The current top twelve on the Dragon and Tiger Power Ranking can be simply summarized as: One Night Two Hegemons Three Xiang Wangs Four Li Five Jiang Six White Hairs Emperor Shi Xing Yue Two Wu Luo.
Even now, no one can shake Ye Shangjue's position as number one on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, especially Xiang Yu, who has shown the might of a blood tide.
However, he and Ye Shangjue had fought once, but it was not a battle to the death on the battlefield, but a friendly sparring match that ended with them touching each other.
In this battle, Ye Shangjue, after a fierce fight, still managed to defeat Xiang Yu by a move or two, demonstrating his strength as a veteran powerhouse.
It was precisely because Xiang Yu lost by half a move in this sparring match that Li Yuanba, on the other hand, had a record of one win and one loss against Tuoba Longxiang, another veteran martial arts master, while the rest were evenly matched.
Therefore, when the renowned experts and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion were considering the rankings, they switched the positions of these two individuals. The former third-ranked person rose to the position of second-ranked person, while the second-ranked person fell to the position of third-ranked person. All three of them displayed the peak strength of martial arts, with a power as vast as the sea.
Throughout the world, people may have doubts about the strength of those ranked lower, but no one has any doubts about the strength of the top three, unless they are the top three themselves.
The phrase "Four Li, Five Jiang, Six White-haired" naturally refers to Li Cunxiao, Jiang Qianqiu, and Ning Baitou.
Of these three, Jiang Qianqiu and Ning Baitou are among the few veteran generals. With no defeats to their name, no one can shake their positions.
Li Cunxiao, on the other hand, climbed to the top four of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking by defeating and even killing Guan Yue.
Although another behemoth was involved in this battle, it was clear to anyone with eyes that, in terms of sheer strength, he played a very minor role.
"Di Shi Xing Yue" refers to four generals: Di Jiang, Shi Huang, Xing Tian, and Yue Yunlong. "Liang Wu Luo" refers to two cousins, Luo Tian and Luo Xing, who were originally from the Wu region.
Di Jiang needs no introduction; his strength speaks for itself. It's just that his current position means he doesn't have the chance to challenge Jiang Qianqiu or Ning Baitou. Otherwise, his ranking might be even higher.
Shi Huang is also a veteran master in the world, and he is often surrounded and attacked, so his ranking can't be lowered even if he wants to.
Xing Tian single-handedly faced Gatling, Gatling, and Yelü Changwu on the Eastern Yi battlefield without being defeated, which directly boosted his ranking by several places.
However, with his current strength, he deserves this ranking.
Yue Yunlong rose to fame quickly during his battles with the Han army during the Han Dynasty's campaigns against Yan and Song.
Following these twelve, the next twelve on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking are Yang Jiang, Sun Ying, Bian Yang, the Divine Spear Ximen and Bai Jiao, the Twenty-Four Fierce Generals of the Ages, Zhu Quan and Hei Long.
The two Yangs, Bian Yang, Jiang Sun, and Ying refer to Xue Mingyang, Mu Xuanyang, Bian Jiuyou, Yang Jian, Jiang Hou, Sun Mei, and Ying Qing, respectively.
Among these seven people, some people's strength is not commensurate with their rankings, some people's rankings are inflated, and some people's rankings are inflated.
However, these people either lack sufficient battle records or lack experience in fighting against the previous twelve.
Their strength has not yet been fully demonstrated, so naturally their ranking cannot go up, and naturally they cannot suppress Xue Mingyang and Bian Jiuyou, two veteran generals of the world.
The only exception was Jiang Hou, who had met Mu Xuanyang, who was ranked higher than him, not long ago. However, by then, the latest Dragon and Tiger Rankings had already been released.
Furthermore, in the Battle of Wild Wolf Ridge, Xiao Ping'an, with fewer soldiers and generals, did not allow Mu Xuanyang to fight him one-on-one, but instead relied on the terrain to focus on defense.
After all, last year, Mu Xuanyang was seriously injured in an attack by the five generals of Daqian. Although it was an attack, they still had a good understanding of Jiang Hou's strength.
This year, my injuries had just healed, and I wasn't even fully recovered yet. Of course, it was impossible for me to fight a major battle with the enemy. If I were to be bogged down by them, it could create opportunities for other generals of the Qian Army.
Furthermore, if they were surrounded by the enemy again, who lacked any sense of martial ethics, there would be no more Silver Cicadas willing to risk their lives to save them.
So much so that even though they spent three months together in Wild Wolf Ridge, they never got a chance to have a fair fight.
As for the remaining five people, they are Ximen Zun, Bai Hu, Yuan Jiao, Zhu Quan, and Hei Long.
In fact, some people ranked lower on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking are not necessarily weaker than some of the top twenty-four, especially the last six among the twenty-four.
Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are better than these six people.
However, these six individuals performed better on the battlefield, which is why they ranked higher on the leaderboard.
