Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Suo Chao knew clearly that to maintain a firm foothold in this chaotic world, he must possess a strength as strong as steel. However, his recent cultivation gains had seemed illusory, leaving him feeling anxious and gloomy.

"This breakthrough in spear intent and fighting spirit is simply as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

He diligently practiced the miraculous Jinghong Nine-Absolute Spear and the Heavenly Dragon Battle Halberd every day. Now, he had mastered the Heavenly Dragon Battle Halberd to the point of mastery, but his spear intent remained at the mastery level, unable to break through.

After countless attempts to explore, Suo Chao was shocked to find that this Sword Domain Dimensional Space could actually teleport or imprison generals whose military strength, intelligence and physical strength were lower than his own. However, the radiation range of this magical skill was only ten meters, and in that large-scale battle, the role it could play was really minimal.

Moreover, whenever Suo Chao encountered a Wushuang-level general, his "Sword Domain: Dimensional Space" seemed to be sealed, completely unable to unleash its full power. He had once unleashed his Wushuang skill within Zhang Jue's Nine Heavens Thunder Domain, a phoenix-like rebirth. Once activated, this Wushuang skill not only brought immense damage and positive or negative buffs, but also served as a defense against the enemy general's Wushuang skills.

Since it was difficult to improve his military strength quickly, Suo Chao decided to find another way to improve his strength in all aspects.

"What exactly is strength?"

"Is it unparalleled military power? Is it the power to dominate a region? Or is it a solid and reliable backer?"

"In these troubled times, all of this is crucial! Suo Chao particularly values ​​the population of Mo Nan County, as it forms the solid foundation for his future development and growth."

He knew that only by continuously expanding his sphere of influence could he secure more resources and opportunities, thereby increasing his strength. During his thousand-mile expansion northward, Suo Chao led his army with a cautious and steady advance. He understood that war was not simply a contest of strength, but also a contest of wisdom. He constantly studied maps, meticulously analyzed the terrain, and meticulously formulated a series of ingenious battle plans.

Suo Chao stood high, overlooking the land beneath his feet. His eyes were firm and focused, as if he could see through the ever-changing situation in the future. He knew that if he wanted to make this city indestructible, he had to start with the most basic construction. Suo Chao turned around, faced the craftsmen behind him, and said in a low and powerful voice:

"We will build walls on all sides here to create an impregnable new city!"

His words resonated like thunder, stirring a thousand waves in the hearts of the craftsmen. They sprang into action, rushing to every corner with tools and materials. Suo Chao personally directed the progress of the project, his rigorous and conscientious attitude infecting everyone.

"General Zhenbei is so responsible!"

"Yes, we must not fall behind."

Under Suo Chao's leadership, the construction of the city wall proceeded methodically. They constructed a tall, sturdy wall of boulders and bricks, each stone carefully selected and each brick seamlessly joined. Gradually, the wall rose higher, like an iron wall, protecting the new city.

Simultaneously, construction within the city proceeded simultaneously. Streets were widened and leveled, and houses sprang up like mushrooms after a rain. The market was bustling with activity, and people came and went, their faces filled with hope for the future. Suo Chao not only focused on the defensive function of the city walls but also incorporated his own unique design concepts. He installed watchtowers and arrow towers on the walls, giving them a powerful offensive capability. The city gates employed a unique structure that both protected them from external attacks and facilitated the passage of citizens.

"The general is truly a genius, to have come up with something as magical as cement!"

"Yes, cement can build a wall so quickly! And the key is that it is so strong, it's incredible!"

Suochao's intention to expand the county city to the north was soon known to the Xianbei and Xiongnu. They quickly sent troops to attack in an attempt to drive Suochao back to Mo'nan County.

"Suo Chao, don't go too far. This northern land is our Xianbei territory!"

"Haha! Wherever the sun and moon shine, it's Han territory!"

"You are just stealing this place!"

"How arrogant! I, Murong Ke, will kill you!"

Murong Ke shouted loudly and launched the Heaven-level martial arts to attack the city and capture the stronghold.

"Attack the city and capture the stronghold!"

Murong's strength soared like a rocket from 95 to 100, while his morale, like a roller coaster, plummeted from 300 to 100 before rapidly climbing back up to 130. In an instant, Murong's spear moves became increasingly fierce, his spear intent ripping through the air, sparks flying, and emitting a piercing sonic boom. This unadorned spear move contained a profound level of spear intent.

Suo Chao dared not underestimate his foe. He unleashed the fourth move of the Divine Nine Wonders, "Thunderbolt." Lightning flashed, and the mastery of his spear surged like a tidal wave. A fierce wind howled, and with boundless power and destructive force, he charged towards Murong Ke like a tiger descending from a mountain.

"Thunder!"

"Humph! No matter how many tricks you use, I can break them with one shot!"

The two men exchanged spear moves, back and forth, like a dragon emerging from the sea, or like two tigers fighting each other. After fighting for dozens of rounds, it was still difficult to tell who was the winner.

Suo Chao was helpless. Before he could break through his spear power, it would be difficult to defeat Murong Ke. He put away the Nine-Glory Thunder Spear and took out his sword made of fine steel.

"Murong Ke! Our spear skills are too close to determine who's better. Let's see how I perform with my sword!"

"Hmph! It's just a sideshow. On the battlefield, spears, halberds, swords, and daggers are kings."

Suo Chao activated the first move of the Yue Girl Sword Technique.

"Advance with momentum and crush the enemy!"

Suo Chao's perfect sword intent faced his masterful spear intent. The sword intent surged, seemingly materializing and devouring him like a glutton. Murong Ke's expression suddenly changed. His hands went numb from the shock.

"Why are you so good at swordsmanship?"

"Haha! And, take that!"

"Break the power, break the armor!"

Endless sword energy, with fierce power, pierced Murong Ke. Murong Ke's heart was filled with determination. He consumed 17 points of health, and his morale increased from 130 to 300 points, and his constitution increased from 95 to 78 points, activating the God-level Invincible Attack.

"Invincible!"

In a blink of an eye, Murong Ke's martial arts value broke through from 100 to 105 points.

"As expected of a 105-point strength rating, Suo Chao's fourth move of the Yuenu Sword Technique could only barely repel Murong Ke."

"If that's not enough, look at the third move of my Yuenu Sword Technique."

"Flashing force, spirit snake."

Suo Chao's sword was like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue. His shadow and sword shadow overlapped and intertwined, making it difficult to grasp.

Murong Ke did not hesitate, and consumed another 30 points of physical strength to activate the God-level Invincible Attack.

"Invincible!"

Murong's force value increased from 105 to 110, and his stamina value decreased from 78 to 48. The fierce spear intent pierced the eight directions, mercilessly shredding Suo Chao's shadow.

"That's awesome!"

Suo Chao was unable to resist the attack, as it was 10 points higher than his own. Seeing the situation was not good, he launched the second move of the Yue Girl Sword Technique.

"Retreat, hold on!"

Suo Chao felt that he had gone too far. Even if he unleashed his unparalleled skills, he still found it difficult to capture the unparalleled warrior whose strength was higher than his own.

The situation on the battlefield was becoming increasingly tense. Beads of sweat formed on Suo Chao's forehead. But his gaze remained determined as he secretly pondered a strategy. The soldiers around him watched the fierce battle nervously, not daring to breathe.

Seeing Suo Chao on the defensive, Murong Ke attacked with even greater force, his spear shadows pouring down like a rainstorm. Suo Chao gritted his teeth, struggling to hold on, wondering how he could reverse this unfavorable situation.

Suddenly, a trace of determination flashed in Suo Chao's eyes. He took a deep breath and once again activated the seventh move of the Divine Nine Wonders, "The Unity of Man and Gun". This time, he poured all his strength into it, and the gun intent surged like a thunderstorm.

"What's this you're doing? Using both swords and guns. Are you running out of tricks?"

Murong Ke's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, but he remained undeterred and used his "Invincible Attack" once again. With a force of 115 points, Murong Ke's spear move could break through any attack.

"boom!"

Their moves collided fiercely, creating a deafening roar. The surrounding soldiers were knocked back by the powerful impact. Suo Chao and Murong Ke each took a few steps back, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of their mouths.

"Haha, Suo Chao, you will definitely lose today!" Murong Ke said with a wild laugh.

Suo Chao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered:

“It’s still unclear who will win!”

After saying this, he flashed and rushed towards Murong Ke like a ghost, the sword in his hand danced again, the sword force was extremely sharp. Murong Ke was not afraid either, and rushed forward with his spear.

On the battlefield, the two men once again engaged in a fierce fight. No one could predict how this battle would end...
