All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 25 A Battle Across Time and Space

“That’s outrageous!”

"The reigning champion of elimination is actually such a coward?"

"I know that Chu Xiu is no ordinary person. He was able to finish off the previous elimination king and then take down Li Tiangang. He must be the top player in this game. But to make the elimination king beg for mercy is just too exaggerated, isn't it?"

The players were buzzing with discussion.

Those with a more cautious personality even chose to flee and no longer participate in the Battle of Hulao Pass.

Adding to the previous fighting, the number of players on both sides, which originally exceeded sixty, suddenly dropped to just over thirty, a reduction of half. On the side of the feudal lords, only Chu Xiu and Jia Tong remained, along with Guo Liang, who was at Hulao Pass.

The rest were all eliminated.

Of course, this only applies to players who are openly in the camp of the feudal lords.

Some players, after joining forces with other warlords, did not stay at Hulao Pass to participate in the battle, but went directly to the corresponding warlord's stronghold to avoid being eliminated in the first round.

The same applies to the imperial court.

"Cowardly rats, they actually fled without a fight!"

Lu Bu was furious at Wang Yuanjing's escape, because it was not only the loss of a powerful fighter, but also a blow to the morale of the army at Hulao Pass.

The impressive six-kill streak had already boosted the morale of the Xiliang army and the Bingzhou knights.

Those players who had hesitated to join the battle due to their fear of Chu Xiu were now showing signs of wanting to participate, giving Lu Bu hope for victory.

But with Wang Yuanjing's escape, the players were completely too afraid to move.

Before figuring out what Chu Xiu's talent was and what made him so powerful, no one dared to be the first to act.

The morale of the army was also greatly affected.

On the contrary, it was the feudal lords who were in charge.

Morale was at an all-time high.

"This can't go on any longer, otherwise, not only will we not be able to win this battle, but the enemy might even take the opportunity to break through Hulao Pass!" Lu Bu thought to himself, gritted his teeth, and looked at Chu Xiu, saying, "Do you dare to fight me?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu looked at him and asked, "How do we fight?"

Currently, players who haven't fully developed their skills are no match for him.

Players using the general template cannot get close enough to kill you.

As for Zhuge Liang, the strategist of the time, he was no match for him in military strategy. The only one he feared was Guo Liang, who, although he was in Hulao Pass, was the fourth brother of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei and would not attack the allied forces of the lords.

However, Chu Xiu did not underestimate the heroes of the world because of this.

Especially Lu Bu in front of him.

His "opening eight-kill streak," killing eight players with eight arrows, was quite amazing.

"You lead 1,250 men to form a battle formation, while I lead 800 elite troops plus 400 Bingzhou cavalry in a charging formation!" Lu Bu said, "Let me see whether I, the greatest warrior of our time, am stronger in leading the forces of the mortal world, or whether your 'First Heavenly God' has a more ingenious formation brought down from the upper realm!"

Although there is no ranking among the gods, even if there were, Wang Yuanjing, the King of Elimination, should be number one.

But in Lü Bu's words, Chu Xiu became the "Number One God".

When faced with Chu Xiu, the other gods were clearly timid and hesitant, and no one dared to fight him, just like Lu Bu's status among the mortal warriors.

He is more than worthy of being number one. From this day forward, Chu Xiu's title of "Number One Heavenly God" will spread throughout the world.

Recognized by the entire world!
"There is no such thing as an upper-realm formation. The Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation actually originated from the mortal world. We just brought it into existence ahead of time!" Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Come on! I'm also very curious to see whether the 'Lu Bu among men,' who is the ultimate warrior, or the 'Prime Minister Zhuge Liang,' who is the ultimate strategist, is more powerful!"

If there are enough soldiers, the outcome is without a doubt: Zhuge Liang will win.

But he was also very curious whether the Bagua Formation, set up by only a thousand people, could actually defeat Lü Bu.

With his level nine "Four-Wheel Maze" in hand, his safety was absolutely guaranteed. He might as well accept Lu Bu's challenge. What man who grew up watching the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" wouldn't want to have a thrilling duel with Lu Bu?
Although it was just a battle of troop leaders, not a contest of martial arts skills, it was a bit of a disappointment.

But the romance of a man, strategizing and winning battles while casually chatting and laughing, is just as romantic as it can be!
Chu Xiu would not refuse.

"Haha, so happy!"

As he spoke, Lü Bu personally led four hundred of his most elite Bingzhou cavalry, along with his most trusted elite Trapped Camp, charging towards Chu Xiu. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun followed closely behind.

They no longer paid attention to Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yuan Shao, and others.

This seems very capricious.

In reality, once Chu Xiu is dealt with, all the players at Hulao Pass can join the battle, and the other lords will be no threat at all. Conversely, with Chu Xiu, the "Number One God," intimidating them, the players will not dare to move, and the soldiers will also be afraid.

Even though they knew that the gods had fallen to the mortal realm, and even though Lü Bu had killed eight of them, mortals still held the gods in awe.

"coming!"

When the army entered the battle, Lü Bu and Li Tiangang made completely different choices. Instead of heading straight for Chu Xiu, they used the speed advantage of their cavalry to weave through the enemy lines.

In particular, Lu Bu was leading the way.

Chu Xiu adjusted the formation, only to find that the tripwires were too late to be used; Lü Bu had already changed positions, and all other arrangements were unable to stop the cavalry's advance.

They can only protect themselves, but cannot fight back.

I deeply felt the difference between an army led by a "peerless general" and one without one—those inhuman freaks simply do not follow the logic of the battlefield, and tactics such as pocket warfare and high-low advantages are completely ineffective.

With courage and skill, one can completely overcome skill with brute force.

However, while Chu Xiu was alarmed, Lu Bu was even more alarmed: after entering the formation, he clearly felt that Chu Xiu's thousand men seemed to be endless, and danger lurked everywhere he looked.

He circled around several times, but still couldn't find a single opening.

Zhang Liao looked at the flying sand obscuring his vision, his face also solemn, and said, "This formation is completely different from the ones set up by the other lords before. It also has a hallucinatory effect, making it truly unpredictable!"

Lü Bu nodded upon hearing this.

But then he laughed and said, "No matter how powerful the formation is, it is still only a thousand people. My Trapped Camp can charge into battle and disrupt the enemy's formation even when facing hundreds of thousands of troops. What is there to fear from a mere thousand people?"

After giving the order, Gao Shun led his heavily armored elite troops into battle.

At this point, if ordinary people were to set up their formation, they would be pulled back and forth by the advancing and retreating troops of the Trapped Camp, which would exhaust their strength. The heavily armored soldiers would not be able to hold out for long.

But this simple tactic is no match for Lü Bu.

He brought his cavalry in to cooperate with the Trapped Camp, so that when the formation changed, they could tear open another gap, causing the formation to collapse directly.

Unfortunately, this is Zhuge Liang's Eight Trigrams Formation.

"With sand flying everywhere, how can there not be 'stones rolling'?"
