Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

The darkness, like thick ink, weighed heavily on the land of Nanyang. The path leading Zhang Yang's troops was illuminated by torches, and the figures of the soldiers flashed rapidly in the flames, the sound of footsteps clattering and armor clashing blending into one.

Zhang Yang's vanguard army was like a surging black tide, galloping across the starry night and rushing towards the banks of the Tang River.

Meanwhile, on the banks of the Tang River, the battle between Yu Ji and Zuo Ci had reached a fever pitch. The wind howled, sand and rocks flew, lightning and thunder roared in the sky, and the radiance of their magic shone brightly, forcibly forcing the brightness of daylight into the darkness.

The two men, ghostly figures, weaved and dodged through the interplay of light and shadow, each move imbued with the power to annihilate heaven and earth. The two Taoists fought furiously, yet the outcome remained uncertain, seemingly trapped in an endless stalemate.

"Gongjin, Suo Chao's army in the north seems to have unusual movements. We must not take it lightly. We must respond as soon as possible." Sun Wu frowned and turned to look at Zhou Yu, his eyes full of solemnity and alertness.

Zhou Yu stared at the fighting light and shadow with a look of resentment on his face, gritting his teeth and saying:

"Grand Commander, the battle in Tanghe is still unresolved. Who could have expected that these two Taoist priests would fight to this extent? It is really beyond imagination!" His words contained both resentment at the complexity and unpredictability of the current battle situation and amazement at the profound magic.

"It doesn't matter. We have now captured the entire Nanyang. Even if there are twists and turns in the battle here, it will not affect the overall situation. You should lead your troops quickly to meet the reinforcements of Suo Chao's army. Don't let them recapture Nanyang." Sun Wu raised his chin slightly, his expression stern, and swung the long sword in his hand, issuing a military order.

"Rest assured, Grand Commander! With me, Zhou Yu, here, I will ensure that the enemy general returns in defeat!" Zhou Yu accepted the order with a bow, a look of determination in his eyes. He mounted his horse, and the white horse neighed loudly before galloping off.

Zhou Yu led his troops at a rapid pace, and soon they encountered Shi Dakai's vanguard. The first battle was about to begin. He rode his majestic white horse, his silver armor gleaming in the sunlight, like a god of war descended from heaven.

Zhou Yu, holding a long sword, the blade gleaming coldly, rode his horse and charged into Zhang Yang's army like an arrow, his figure moving with the speed of a ghost.

Every time the sword was swung, it was accompanied by a whistling sound of the wind, just like a dragon emerging from the sea. Wherever it went, the enemy soldiers fell down like wheat being cut, screaming in pain.

"Unparalleled! Red Lotus Karma Fire!" Zhou Yu shouted suddenly, his voice shaking the sky.

In an instant, surging red flames surged near Zhou Yu and quickly spread out to form a blazing fire field.

The flames leaped and swirled, seemingly possessing a spirit. As the Jiangdong soldiers bathed in them, they felt a surge of powerful strength instantly permeating their limbs and bones, their martial arts values ​​soaring by ten points.

Many of the enemy soldiers were terrified. Their eyes were hazy and they were instantly in a state of confusion, running around in the fire zone like headless flies.

What's worse, those enemy soldiers whose command and intelligence values ​​were lower than Zhou Yu's were instantly burned by the karma fire, their physical strength was quickly lost, they collapsed to the ground, and wailed in pain; those whose physical strength was lower than 15 points, although no longer lost physical strength, their eyes rolled back, they fainted, and fell into a coma for up to 3 minutes. The scene was extremely tragic.

Although Zhang Yang fought hard and tried to hold his ground, the power of the red lotus fire was too overbearing. The negative states of physical loss and dizziness quickly spread throughout the team like a plague.

The soldiers under Zhang Yang's command staggered, and an invisible sense of fear and oppression, like a mountain pressing down on their heads, lingered heavily in everyone's heart.

Xu Shu, standing behind the battle line, witnessed the army's desperate situation and stood up in anger, determined to wash away the shame of the previous defeat with blood.

At this moment, Xu Shu stood tall and straight, his black robe fluttering in the wind. Although he had no sharp blade in his hand, he had an alluring aura.

Heavenly Tier. Abandoning martial arts and pursuing literature. Xu Shu's strength is reduced by 3 points, his intelligence is increased by 10 points, and his morale is increased by 100 points.

To counteract Zhou Yu's unparalleled domineering skills, Xu Shu took a deep breath and suddenly shouted:

"Unparalleled! Full of ingenuity!"

Zhang Yangjun and his men felt the pressure on their bodies suddenly reduced. Their bodies, which had been burned by the red lotus fire, instantly felt much more relaxed. The suffocating feeling of oppression seemed to be gently brushed away by an invisible big hand.

"Military advisor, you are mighty!" Seeing this, the morale of Zhang Yang's army was greatly boosted. They raised their arms and shouted, and the sound rose one after another.

"General Zhang, don't be careless. This battle is extremely dangerous. You have to proceed step by step and be careful." Xu Shu turned to look at Zhang Yang with a serious expression and reminded him.

"Military advisor, don't worry. We will definitely resist the offensive of the Jiangdong army and won't let them succeed!" Zhang Yang's face was full of determination. He clenched the long sword in his hand tightly. The blade hummed, as if responding to its master's determination.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's strength had soared to 75 + 10 points. However, Xu Shu's heavenly-level spell, "Breaking the Formation," was like an impenetrable barrier, suppressing his morale and making it difficult for him to unleash his unparalleled power.

The negative effects previously inflicted by Zhou Yu's divine spell "Divine Fire Plan" were now like hitting a solid wall, completely ineffective against Zhang Yang's army.

The two armies fought and fell into a stalemate of equal strength for a while. The shouts of killing and the sounds of weapons clashing intertwined into a tragic war song.

Suddenly, an arrow shot out like a meteor in the dark night. Cheng Pu, hiding in the shadows, saw the opportunity and shot Zhang Yang in the throat with incredible accuracy.

"General Zhang, you have to hold on!" Xu Shu was furious and flew towards Zhang Yang. He hugged Zhang Yang tightly with both hands and said inconsolably.

Zhang Yang's eyes were blank, his breath was weak, and he used up his last bit of strength to say with difficulty:

"Military Advisor, I... I'm dying. Madam... I hope you can try to rescue me..." Before he could finish his words, his head tilted and he died.

The battle situation suddenly changed, as if a huge rock hit the calm lake, causing huge waves.

……

In another time and space, Suo Chao, on the battlefield of Baxia, was about to persuade Xiao He to join his army. Suddenly, without warning, his left eye began to twitch wildly, like an ominous war drum beating in his ears. Then, the cold and merciless electronic notification sound of the system echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Zhang Yang dies in battle. The host permanently loses the god-level skill "Jinghong Jiujue Gun"; the second unparalleled skill is sealed. Please be aware of this.]

Suo Chao froze as if struck by lightning. His face was filled with astonishment as he muttered to himself:

"How could Zhang Yang... Wasn't he in the rear of the north? How could he die in battle?" He felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if a piece of it was cut off by a sharp blade. His heart was filled with doubts and grief like a tide.
