All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 27 The Alliance to Annihilate Cultivators!
The last player's words sounded vaguely familiar to everyone.

Upon closer reflection, it dawned on me – wasn't that exactly what the various sects said when facing the dungeon boss Zhang Sanfeng in the second-tier dungeon "Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber"?

The most arrogant tone, uttering the most cowardly words, yet it all seems perfectly natural.

Others wouldn't think there's anything wrong with it.

"This is only the first round of eliminations, and we've already got such a 'powerful' player. How are we supposed to play the rest of the game?" another player said. "We have to find a way to punish him. This game can't tolerate someone this good!"

The players reached a consensus on this.

They all revealed their trump cards.

"Actually, Dong Zhuo wasn't in Luoyang at the time. On my advice, he had already led Li Jue and Guo Si to attack!" one player said.

Then, another player spoke up: "The Four-Wheel Maze actually has a weakness, which is its wide-area firepower coverage. If there are markers, we can take it down by directly bombarding the beam of light with firepower!"

"Then what should we use to cover it?"

"Oil arrow!"

The group of players discussed ways to deal with Chu Xiu, and later, in order to carry out their plan, they even temporarily formed a "Cultivator Annihilation Alliance" with a total of 26 members.

They agreed that they would never hunt each other down until Chu Xiu was eliminated.

The alliance will automatically disband once Chu Xiu is eliminated.

"These people!"

Lü Shengnan and Guo Liang also participated in the meeting, but when they formed an alliance to deal with Chu Xiu, they, along with several other players, chose to protect themselves and did not participate in the fight against Chu Xiu.

It's not that we don't want to deal with it, but we really don't think it's going to work.

Even if incompetent people band together, they are still a mob and unlikely to achieve great things.

How can we deal with Chu Xiu if we don't even know what his innate abilities are?
Of course, the siblings also had their own selfish motives, deliberately keeping their speculations about Chu Xiu's talent hidden—nominally, Guo Liang was now Chu Xiu's teammate, and strictly speaking, Lü Shengnan had no enmity with him.

I suffered losses every time I went against them.

Therefore, she thought of another way to deal with Chu Xiu!

……

On the other side, in the arena, Lü Bu was still chasing after Chu Xiu.

But as the battle raged on, he realized something was wrong: amidst the endless yellow sand, he could no longer see the enemy soldiers and had lost contact with the Trapped Camp.

Suddenly realizing what was happening, I couldn't see Hulao Pass, nor could I see any of the feudal lords' camps ahead.

Xiong'er Mountain and Sishui have all disappeared.

Even the Yellow River beside them had disappeared; the sound of the Yellow River, which could be heard whenever one was on the battlefield, could no longer be heard.

All that remained was the sound of the whistling wind.

It's as if it's no longer near Hulao Pass, which is quite strange.

"what is going on?"

Lü Bu was greatly alarmed.

He then discovered that Chu Xiu, whom he had been chasing and fleeing from, and who was on the verge of being cornered, had suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The sky was filled with yellow sand, which even obscured the signs of the strange phenomenon.

This made Lü Bu secretly think, "This is bad."

"Is this strange formation still a military formation?"

He had already realized that he had been outmaneuvered by Chu Xiu. The formation set up by the other party had a hallucinogenic effect, and even he, who had been through countless battles, had lost his way in the formation.

They even used special methods to alter the sounds of the surrounding environment. "Incredible!"

If this were an ordinary person, they would have panicked by now. Even Lu Bu during the later Warring States period would have been flustered. But Lu Bu at this moment was at his peak, full of vigor and ambition.

Therefore, they were not afraid and instead devised a solution in the shortest possible time.

"Everyone, spread out and form four lines, one person every five steps, stretching out horizontally for five hundred meters!"

The battlefield at Hulao Pass was actually not very large, and Chu Xiu's forces were not many.

Therefore, after spreading out, they conducted a "carpet search" and quickly found the trapped and burning camp. At this time, the camp had suffered heavy casualties, and even the commander Gao Shun was wounded.

After Lü Bu found them and launched a surprise attack to rescue them.

Of the eight hundred elite troops, less than a hundred were still able to move, and all of them were wounded; their fighting strength was reduced to less than one-tenth.

"Let's retreat, General!" Gao Shun said, clutching his wound. "This formation is too strange; it cannot be broken by brute force. Let's retreat to Hulao Pass and reconsider our strategy!"

But Lu Bu shook his head upon hearing this.

"If we retreat, our entire army will be wiped out!"

"Why?"

Gao Shun was puzzled.

"Do you know which direction Hulao Pass is in?" Lü Bu asked.

Gao Shun was taken aback upon hearing this.

Only then did they realize that, from beginning to end, their army's sense of direction had been in the enemy's hands. Retreat was indeed the best option, but only if they knew where to retreat!
"What should I do?"

"Let's fight them head-on!" Lü Bu said. "They only have 1,200 men after all, while we still have 400 cavalry. As long as we kill recklessly and charge at the enemy's sand-spraying soldiers, we still have a chance to turn the tide!"

Having said that, he took the lead and charged forward.

It seems like he's gone to extremes.

In reality, if Lü Bu were only brave and fierce, a simple tripwire could have taken him down. Would he still have the reputation of being the "most powerful warrior in the world" today?
He was just a little bit inferior to those top military geniuses.

It's not that they don't know how to use troops!
Therefore, after a targeted assault, Fei Sha quickly ran out of steam, revealing the Zhuge Bagua Formation. Although key areas, such as the command platform and traps, remained undetected.

However, it could no longer create a hallucinogenic effect on Lü Bu.

"In the end, we have too few soldiers. If we had tens of thousands of troops, it would be impossible to break the deadlock with brute force!" Chu Xiu thought to himself as he manipulated his troops to engage Lu Bu.

By adapting the Eight Trigrams Formation to counter the cavalry, Lu Bu's stamina was gradually depleted.

They fought for a full half hour.

Lü Bu led 400 cavalrymen, a force capable of charging into a 10,000-strong army, yet managed to kill only seven men, suffering nearly 50 casualties himself—a casualty ratio that astonished even Lü Bu.

When have the Bingzhou cavalry ever been so pathetic?

However, the opposite side was constantly filled with flying sand and stones, making visibility extremely poor.

The cavalry's ability to shoot while mounted was dealt a devastating blow.

Not to mention others, even Lu Bu kept missing his shots, making him start to doubt whether he could shoot arrows at all!
"Mengde, Lü Bu is about to retreat. Seize the opportunity and have the allied armies launch a fierce attack to capture Hulao Pass!" Chu Xiu remotely controlled his soldiers and told Cao Cao.

This scene left both the feudal lords and Jia Tong dumbfounded.

"If I remember correctly, this soldier hasn't gone out, has he?"

"Is he relaying Chu Tianshen's words?"

"Holy crap!" Jia Tong exclaimed inwardly, his eyes wide. "Could Chu Xiu's talent be the 'possession' type, allowing him to possess any of his soldiers anytime, anywhere?"
