All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 49 Reinforcements? The Illusionist Killed by the Natives
"Wait, maybe it really isn't cheating?"

Shen Tianci suddenly thought of a possibility: perhaps Chu Xiu really didn't use any cheat codes, but instead set up a smokescreen through special methods. Whether it was the elusive enemy army or Chu Xiu flying in the sky, it was all just an illusion, and nothing was real.

That's why his report was useless.

Otherwise, the system would not fail to recognize that the other party is a "deity". Even if the other party is a deity, it is impossible to master the skills of a fourth-order world in a first-order world, even if one can fly and escape into the earth.

The immortals are mages, or cheaters, but the dungeons of the heavens are not online game data.

Instead, they are real worlds.

So-called cheaters are actually more like "low-level immortals and gods," similar to the big shots in the "Journey to the West" world, who have the ability to exploit loopholes in the laws and rewrite the rules of heaven and earth.

In fact, the highest level of "immortals" is only "fifth rank".

In other words, they are special players who have mastered the rules in advance.

Starting from the sixth rank, one enters the true realm of "immortals and gods," where everyone masters the laws and all skills are "spell-level," thus eliminating the possibility of god-like players!

"Call someone, call someone!"

Under Yuan Shu's orders, General Ji Ling took out a specially made "skyrocket" and lit it, releasing it into the night sky.

At this point, Chu Xiu could actually have stopped him.

The level 10 ultimate skill has a concealment effect. As long as you hide your movements within the formation, let alone a mere rocket, even if you had satellite positioning from later generations, you wouldn't be able to send out the slightest signal.

All magnetic fields, sight, and hearing will be distorted by the array.

But Chu Xiu did not stop him.

Because I saw something interesting: a cavalry force of about two thousand men, led by a general and three players, was rushing towards the battlefield from Sizhou.

However, they were not heading towards Mount Tai, but towards Dongjun.

With his spiritual power exceeding the limits of the world, Chu Xiu could see that the general had some traces of "mystical arts".

It came from a player next to him.

It's somewhat similar to the Four Wheels of Deception, but it's not a group hallucinogenic effect; it affects only one person.

In other words, the player used mystical arts to control the general.

"An illusion? Judging from this, that player should be the hidden class 'Illusionist,' with the character template being Zuo Ci, who played Cao Cao!" Chu Xiu watched from afar, a strange expression on his face: "But here's the problem, although the opponent was hit by the illusion, they weren't affected at all!"

The general controlled by the illusionist was a commander whose name was not well-known in the original work.

He wasn't even among the "Twenty-Four Generals".

But it would be a big mistake to underestimate him because of this and think that he is just a nobody. His name is Zhang Lu, a direct descendant of Marquis Liu Zhang Liang and Celestial Master Zhang Daoling, the contemporary leader of the Taoist sect, and the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain!

Perhaps he's not good at charging into battle, and his ability to lead troops is just so-so.

He lacks political wisdom and his administrative skills are also mediocre.

But at least he was a Taoist priest.

A leading figure in the world of "metaphysics"!

Where do you get the confidence that a mere illusionist who hasn't even reached the maximum level can control a dignified Celestial Master? That's like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu!

"Zhang Lu is quite the character; he pretended to fall for the trap, probably to get himself killed by the player who attacked him?"

Under Chu Xiu's watchful eye, Zhang Lu led two thousand cavalrymen in a grand and imposing march into Yanzhou. After arriving at Dongjun, they marched with their backs to the area, heading towards Mount Tai.

He exposed his soldiers and his back to Chu Xiu.

Furthermore, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Lu stumbled into a trap and charged straight into the encirclement of the Taishan County garrison—the illusionist player, who was unfamiliar with military tactics, did not notice anything amiss.

Shen Tianci's belief in his ability to "break illusions" proved completely ineffective.

He couldn't see through Chu Xiu's level 10 ultimate move at all.

Just as they were almost face to face, Zhang Lu suddenly produced a white flag, raised it high, and said, "By the Southern Heavenly God King, I, Zhang Lu, a cultivator, am willing to lead all the Taoist sects in the world to join the Divine Cult, to shepherd the people for the God King. I offer three deceitful false gods as a pledge of allegiance, and I beg the God King to accept me!"

At the same time, the two thousand cavalrymen he led also prayed.

The sound reached Chu Xiu's ears.

This made his smile widen even more, and he replied, "Slay the false god!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lu immediately took action. Before the three players could react, he swiftly hacked them all to death. During the attack, the illusionist tried to use an illusion to escape, but found that his illusion had failed.

It was only then that he realized that Zhang Lu's spiritual power was unfathomable.

It actually reached the maximum value of a first-order world.

"Impossible! You're just an ordinary Taoist priest, how could you possibly withstand the mystical arts from the 'Three Immortals'?" the illusionist player exclaimed before dying.

He had a high opinion of himself, and after learning that Shen Tianci had lost a teammate, he even wanted to fill in for him.

If we guarantee Shen Tianci first place, he and another person can even compete for second place.

But now, in the elimination round of 64 to 32, he's going to die?

He didn't die at the hands of a gifted master or a high-level player of the same hidden class, or even by a player. He was killed by a native he thought he had under control!

As a pledge of allegiance, it was used to gain entry into the camps of Cao Cao and Chu Xiu.

This is absolutely ridiculous!
"The so-called Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty are all nonsense. Even the 'Old Immortal of Nanhua,' who is considered the leader of the Three Immortals, is not the original 'True Man of Nanhua,' but merely his successor!"

Zhang Lu shook his head and said disdainfully.

"As for me, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain and the leader of the Taoist sect, even if your sect's founder, Zuo Ci, came, he wouldn't dare to speak loudly. Who do you think you are?"

Having said that, he killed the "Illusionist" player with a single strike.

Immediately, he led his army into the "Eight Trigrams Formation" and concealed his tracks.

Chu Xiu, on the other hand, happily accepted three kills plus four "bounty" points, further boosting his strength.

Name: Chu Xiu

[Occupation: Wuhou]

【Level: 13】

【Strength: 78】

[Agility: 79]

【Spirit: 281】

[Stamina: 77]

[Skills: Troop Deployment (Passive), Feather Fan East Wind Lv4, Four Wheels of Mystery Lv9, Star Lamp Life Extension Lv4, God and Demon Unrivaled Eight Trigrams Formation (No Level)]

[Available Points: None]

In addition to his spirit increasing by 60 points to 280 points, his strength, agility, and stamina also increased by 60 points, just like the growth in his spirit attribute.

This means that after level 10, each level up no longer only increases the main attribute.

Instead, it involves comprehensive growth across all four dimensions.

"If I keep adding like this, wouldn't I eventually surpass the max-level Wen Hou in strength, the max-level Guan Yu in agility, and the max-level Ever-Victorious General in stamina?"

Chu Xiu saw the possibility of becoming a "hexagonal strategist".

Next, he looked at the new skill points.

[Skill: Feather Fan East Wind Lv4]

[Level 3 Max Attribute: Can borrow the east wind from the sky, changing the direction of the existing wind for one's own use! There are no time or location restrictions, but there must already be wind in the air, and if the distance is far, there is a time requirement to release it, and the wind force will also decrease!]

In essence, this move does not involve releasing wind yourself.

Instead, it borrows the wind.

If you are in the middle of a typhoon, its power will be extraordinary. However, if you are in a windless area, it will take a long time to catch the wind, and the wind force will gradually weaken as it moves.

It is a unique technique that borrows the power of heaven and earth.

However, this only applies to Zhuge Liang, to this world, and to the upper limit of this skill, not to Chu Xiu.

[Level 4 Skill Breakthrough Attribute: A butterfly flapping its wings can create typhoons and tsunamis across the ocean—the wind you borrow won't weaken as you move; instead, it will grow stronger!]
