Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 7341 It's time for you to sacrifice yourselves!

Chapter 7341 It's time for you to sacrifice yourselves!

Lord Wu'an was the only one among the Four Sages who had little interest in the ritual of offering sacrifices to corpses. This was because the law soldiers he led were driven to their limits by his exaggerated win rate, resulting in an average of exceptional will damage per person. Therefore, even during the Battle of Yan and Ying, Lord Wu'an did not realize how outrageous the demon god of the ritual of offering sacrifices to corpses was, and only felt that there were really a lot of lewd worships in the Chu region.

As for the other three, they were all very interested in the Corpse Demon God. Even Han Xin didn't participate in the Corpse Feast Ceremony simply because he didn't have the opportunity. If he had even the slightest chance, Han Xin would definitely have equipped the Demon God with an energy storage module.

However, precisely because of this, although the Binshi Demon God is very strong, he is not so strong as to cause despair; he is still at a level that can be annihilated.

As for Lord Wu'an himself, there's not much to say—to speak to a Chu person like that, I hope you truly have a powerful state backing you!

“The demons who are reborn here through special means are all seeking immortality and hoping to live another life. Seeing Lord Wu’an killing so indiscriminately, it would be a problem if they couldn’t remember it,” Liu Tong said with a sigh. “So when You Xi held the sword to the other party’s neck, the other party told him everything, hoping that Lord Wu’an would spare his life for Wei Ran’s sake.”

Wei Ran was from the State of Chu and was Bai Qi's elder brother who had promoted him, so Bai Qi respected Wei Ran quite a bit. Of course, this respect was mainly because Wei Ran had given him an opportunity. As for Wei Ran's abilities, especially his battlefield command abilities, Bai Qi just chuckled. He was good at dealing with small fry, but when it came to tough opponents, he was just a joke.

Chen Xi sometimes felt that Bai Qi was quite abstract; he just laughed at whoever he beat up all day long.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, it's Bai Qi. Those who fought against Bai Qi in the same era weren't lacking in the qualities and potential of famous generals. Rather, they encountered Bai Qi, and their auras were automatically downgraded and destroyed, ending their path to becoming famous generals. It wasn't that there were no famous generals. As a famous general destroyer, it's not a problem for Bai Qi to say that the others were just having fun.

Chen Xi felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this. He needed to use some special methods to extract information from the other party's memory, while Wu Anjun only needed to put his sword to the other party's neck to obtain all the information. It seems that there are still differences between people!

"Why are you back so soon?" Just as Chen Xi was about to speak, Si Niang reached out and grabbed at empty space, and Han Xin appeared on the spot. Then Si Niang asked with a hint of curiosity.

Han Xin was incredibly embarrassed. Could he say that he had failed at playing the "One Against a Thousand" game?

Despite possessing supermodel-level cloud energy, despite having internal energy that leaves the body, and despite being the founder of the cloud energy architecture with unimaginable cloud energy usage abilities, able to suppress an opponent's combat power to less than one-tenth, and allowing one's own combat power to not only not be suppressed under the cloud energy but also to be enhanced.

As a result, the boat capsized.

Normally, if Han Xin were to play the role of punching an old folks' home or kicking a kindergarten, he could definitely do it with the absolute suppression of his cloud aura. But after killing more than a dozen people, Han Xin realized that bullying weaklings is only temporarily satisfying. To truly enjoy it, one needs an evenly matched opponent and then a strong man to fight and win.

So he used the cloud effect to create a bunch of special effects for himself, playing in a mode that the GM would enjoy in the game. As a result, he was careless and was killed.

Seeing Han Xin's hesitant expression, everyone present vaguely guessed a certain possibility. No, buddy, you can still capsize like this? Are you really that abstract?

"I just wanted to experience the treatment Xiang Yu received, to see what it means to be evenly matched, and then to be able to take on a thousand men single-handedly," Han Xin explained. The three people around him were speechless. So you really did capsize? What is Lord Wu'an supposed to think?

"I've decided to withdraw from this so-called Four Sages group!" Bai Qi said upon his return. "I feel like I'm the only one trying to maintain the so-called dignity of the Four Sages. Look at the other three: Sun Wu, he impulsively performed the sacrificial ceremony for the dead, thinking he could control it, and now we're cleaning up his mess; Wu Qi, he also impulsively performed the sacrificial ceremony for the dead, and it was only because I slaughtered everyone in Yan and Ying back then that we had this mess... and then there's Han Xin..."

Han Xin turned his head helplessly. He was helpless too. He had tried his best, but for some reason, the opponent's strength just wouldn't cooperate. He couldn't perform to his full potential, which led to his being taken away. Was it his fault? No, it was because the opponent was too strong.

"I've decided to leave this group," Bai Qi said decisively.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Han Xin quickly tried to persuade him. He still needed Bai Qi to take the fall. After all, in terms of abstractness, he was much more abstract than Bai Qi. Moreover, in terms of style, Bai Qi's demeanor made it clear to others that he was a military strategist and a powerful general. But when Han Xin passed by and glanced at him, he gave the impression of a roadside thug with swords and cannons.

Han Xin pulled away Bai Qi, who was seething with anger, and prepared to treat him to a good meal. "Why are you backing down? It's about upholding the dignity of the Four Sages! This is an honor!"

“I feel that Lord Wu’an has really had a tough time.” Chen Xi said after a moment of silence. Liu Tong and Si Niang nodded in agreement. Despite the scolding, the fact that Han Xin dragged him away showed that Lord Wu’an hadn’t gotten so angry that he would have exploded. If he had really lost his temper, Han Xin would have been in for a beating today.

"There's nothing we can do. Those demon gods were all found and gathered together by Lord Wu'an. It's possible that the will attribute within the cloud structure was provided by Lord Wu'an, just so that Marquis Huaiyin could have some fun and fill the void in his heart. But in the end, Marquis Huaiyin was killed." Liu Tong said helplessly. Let alone Lord Wu'an, even she couldn't hold back in that situation.

“Yeah, just thinking about that abstract image.” Chen Xi said with a hint of speechlessness, “Sigh, come with me to see the Governor in a bit. He did the same thing as the Marquis of Huaiyin.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Tong's question mark almost materialized. What did he mean by Zhou Yu performing the same actions as the Marquis of Huaiyin? Are all top commanders like this?

"Let's go and see, just in case he's really dead. If things continue like this, I think the Commander-in-Chief won't be able to put pressure on Kongming in the future, he might even ruin himself," Chen Xi said with a hint of grief and an barely suppressed smile.

For some reason, when Chen Xi received the news that Zhou Yu had been severely injured, she didn't feel sad at all; instead, she felt a little like laughing.

Perhaps knowing that Zhou Yu wouldn't die anytime soon—after all, he was blessed with a divine position and was in a state of physical and spiritual union—that even if he were stabbed, he wouldn't die, Chen Xi felt more abstract and grieved than anything else after receiving the news.

"The Commander must be very sad to see your expression. By the way, what about the others?" Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi with a hint of speechlessness, feeling that Chen Xi wasn't exactly a good person when it came to Zhou Yu either.

"The new intelligence we received is that Wan Zhen, Xu Yue, and Zhao Shuang have all been attacked, but they are more cautious and less abstract, so they are all fine," Chen Xi said expressionlessly.

Logically speaking, this is the normal situation. The Han Dynasty's security system is trustworthy, and the people sent to protect these people are all elites. As long as you don't act like Zhou Yu, even if you are ambushed by the demon god, you can escape unscathed.

"Sigh, didn't anyone attack General Huangfu and Marquis Cang?" Liu Tong asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Let's not even talk about General Huangfu. He has extensive experience in countering assassinations. It's absolutely impossible for a demon god to break through General Huangfu's security defenses. Not to mention a few scattered demon gods, even a large group of demon gods wouldn't be of any use." Chen Xi thought about Huangfu Song, who either lived in the military camp or hid in his residence and never came out. Could a demon god really assassinate him?

Do you understand? When Old Man Huangfu goes out in his carriage, the ones pulling it are veterans who have been with him for almost thirty years. You may doubt the combat effectiveness of these veterans, but their reconnaissance ability, judgment, and danger perception are absolutely no problem.

In other words, the Yunmeng Demon God, who wanted to assassinate Huangfu Song, should have been noticed as soon as he appeared by the coachman pulling Huangfu Song's carriage, and then he should have fled at full speed.

As for Cookie, doesn't he know what kind of background his wife Ji Xue has? The Ji family's main job is to do this kind of thing. Ji Xue doesn't have any good solutions for Yunmeng Demon God, but this kind of thing that uses memories to simulate immortals and is entrusted to Yunmeng Demon God is a perfect match for the Ji family. If they rush in, who will be the one to die?

“Oh, right. The coachman who pulled the carriage for Grandpa Huangfu was indeed a scout with a sense of danger. I remember Grandpa Huangfu telling me about it.” Liu Tong said with a hint of reminiscence. “As for the Ji family, well, for the sacrificial ceremony, shouldn’t we bring the Ji family over? Logically speaking, the Ji family has a very obvious advantage in this regard.”

"No need for now. The Ji family's role in this is somewhat problematic, so let's forget about it," Chen Xi said, shaking his head.

With such a large number of corpse demons and gods, and some Ji family members who still remembered their surnames, Chen Xi only needed to glance through the ancient records to know that they were the Ji families of Hanyang. The current Ji family is inextricably linked to that group of people. Therefore, if we really want to trace the origins of the corpse offering ceremony, the Ji family's mess is impossible to clean up.

Therefore, we should not approach the Ji family at this stage. After the problem is resolved, we can ask the Ji family what happened. They will definitely give us an explanation.

After all, the Han dynasty is not insurmountable. If it were truly insurmountable, then we would definitely have to find all sorts of ways to gather all the information, but things haven't reached that point yet.

"I see, that works too." Liu Tong thought about it and understood Chen Xi's line of thinking. After considering the current situation, he accepted Chen Xi's suggestion.

At the same time, in the southeast direction of Jiangling, a dazzling blue-purple glow appeared in the sky, as beautiful as the aurora borealis.

Originally, the demon that escaped from Huarong should have been dealt with by Guan Yu and Lü Bu together, but unfortunately, Zhou Yu was injured by the demon and ended up in the hospital.

Guan Yu could only prioritize Zhou Yu when he passed by, so the talismans that Bao Chu and Zhang Wen carried were naturally sent to Lü Bu in the military camp. Lü Bu, who was already bored, did not hesitate to open a spatial teleportation to Huarong after receiving Chen Xi's order. He turned the secret mirror and found that there was not a single normal person below.

Logically, after the Battle of Yunmeng started, everyone in Huarong should have moved away, but now there are not only people, but they are all superhumans, so what else is there to say but kill them?

The supermodel's cloud aura completely negated the suppression from the cloud aura coming from Yunmeng behind them, while Huarong directly in front of them had no cloud aura suppression from the enemy. What more could be said? Wasn't this the most suitable battlefield for martial arts experts like them?

"Die!" Lu Bu's voice swept through Huarong County like a mighty divine force, and then a blue-green glow, like a light veil, covered the earth, seemingly slowly but actually quickly.

To reiterate, the demon god is nothing special to Lu Bu; his raw strength is negligible. However, the demon god's vitality is incredibly tenacious, especially considering that it has completely abandoned its self-awareness and only retains the concept of being alive. The demon god's vitality is terrifyingly exceptional.

In addition, the suppression of the cloud formations prevented Lü Bu from unleashing his superhuman attacks, making things quite difficult for him recently since he came from Chang'an.

As for the injury caused by the metal element, it has already healed to about 70-80%. Moreover, even with the injury caused by the metal element, Lu Bu's combat power is still in a class of its own.

A light blue-green veil covered Hua Rong. The Yunmeng demons who had been feigning death below scattered desperately after realizing what the light blue-green veil was. But it was too late. The light blue-green veil seemed to move very slowly, while the demons' mobility seemed very fast. However, when the demons rushed out with all their might to try to escape the veil, they found that they could not escape.

The veil of light swept across the sky with what appeared to be slow speed, and from Lu Bu's perspective, all carbon-based life forms, whether demons or plants, were instantly crushed into dust. Only after that did a magnificent explosion occur, and Lu Bu stood quietly in the void watching.

Without the suppression of the clouds, this is what a strongman is like to him. Lu Bu, who can already control the metal element to a certain extent and make his power continue indefinitely, just quietly watched the effect of his attack. He was very satisfied with the mountain that had been flattened by the blue-green light gauze. This was the first time Lu Bu had gone all out since the battle against Huang Tian. He was already close to his peak!

"What is that?" Liu Tong asked, looking at the aurora appearing in the southeast direction with a hint of confusion.

“That’s a weapon of mass destruction. It’s the kind of thing I need to run away with if it hits me.” Si Niang gave an honest look and gave a precise answer. This was no joke. Si Niang had no way to defend against this kind of thing. Without the Metal element, she could try to hold out for a few seconds, but with the Metal element, if she got hit, it would be an endless cycle.

Do you understand what a perpetual motion machine is? The metal element is like adding a perpetual motion effect to everything you have. The simplest description is that if you blow a breath, that breath, with the blessing of the metal element, can flow forever.

If it were an attack, the various energies accompanying that strike would never be worn away. The so-called indestructible nature of metal refers to this permanence. So if you were hit by something like this, it would be very troublesome for Si Niang. However, as long as you dodge in advance, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, Lu Bu has not completely mastered the nature of metal. In fact, to use it, he would have to elevate himself to the limit first.

If Lu Bu could use the Metal element normally, he would have already gone to the Chu-Han border in the new version to fight the Demon God one-on-one. One Demon God would give him a taste of his own medicine, and we'd see how long seven hundred years could last against eternity. Unfortunately, he can't. Lu Bu can barely unleash a strike with the Metal element at his peak, but as long as he is suppressed by the Cloud Qi and is not at his peak, he can't use it.

Even so, it's still incredibly terrifying. This guy is arguably the only one in the three great empires who can truly use the metal element at this stage.

In other words, Lu Bu is now capable of killing the sleeping Xiang Yu and taking on the once invincible Locust King in a one-on-one fight.

After all, the strongest point of those two things lies in the special properties brought about by the indestructible metal nature.

"Lord Chen, General Huangfu has come to pay his respects." Yang Si, the newly appointed guard, ran over and bowed respectfully to Chen Xi.

"It seems that Old Master Huangfu has lost his temper," Liu Tong sighed. After all these years, Liu Tong had come to fully understand what kind of person Huangfu Song was. Normally, he seemed to be just sitting on the sidelines, but when something happened, he would really step in.

As for today, needless to say, something must have happened. After all, even if he didn't know before that Chen Xi was assassinated, Huangfu Song couldn't possibly be blind to the huge crack that appeared in the sky just now. Combined with the intelligence gathered through other channels, Huangfu Song must know that a group of people in Jiangling were assassinated. It would be a miracle if Huangfu Song could sit still.

I, Huangfu Song, don't care if I get assassinated, but Chen Xi gets assassinated? You fucking want to die, don't you? You'll do anything, don't you? Fine, fine, if I don't skin you alive today, I'm not Huangfu Song!

Do you even know what a "big treasure" is? You dare to assassinate Chen Xi!

When Huangfu Song arrived, he was no longer the old man who needed to be supported and only had a sword hanging at his waist. This time, he came wearing armor.

"Greetings, Your Highness, Prime Minister." Huangfu Song bowed to Liu Tong and Chen Xi, who returned the bow.

"I implore you to mobilize the Imperial Guards of Chang'an to Yunmeng and swiftly slay the Demon God of Yunmeng," Huangfu Song said in a deep voice. "It is time for the Imperial Guards of Chang'an to sacrifice themselves for the country."

Chen Xi looked at Huangfu Song speechlessly. It was already difficult for those old men who did carving in Weiyang Palace to survive. Did you come up here just to kill them? Enough already.

"I believe this move can kill two birds with one stone: it eliminates the Cloud Dream Demon God, resolves potential mutations, and serves as a deterrent to all ambitious individuals," Huangfu Song said in a deep voice.

Regardless of how old the veterans in Chang'an are who spent the first half of the year shaping the gardens and the second half reshaping the rocks, with Jie Yun's oath stripping and death sword stepping into the air, the demon god is nothing. Let me show you an even higher version of the corpse feast!

Huangfu Song originally came to see Chen Xi's performance, but now that Chen Xi has been assassinated, what's the point of watching? He'll just wipe out the whole family. The Corpse Feast 2.0, huh? Let me show you the Corpse Feast 4.0!

Damn, I forgot to post it.
