I, who was stabbed to death by Alloy Lu Bu, transmigrated into the Star Soul General

Wow——!

The pitch-black inner demon Wen Zhong gradually materialized, holding Huang Sushang in his hands. The star coffin on his chest slowly floated out, and Huang Miaoyin looked down at Old Xu below.

"Is this my niece whom I've never met before?" Xiahou Cao stroked his chin. "So, Old Master Xu likes this kind of cute and adorable girl?"

Enough with the small talk, let's continue.

"No, Auntie!" Huang Sushang cried, tears streaming down her face. "I'm willing to go back to Quancheng with you! I'll never run away again! Just let Brother Heming go..."

Xu Heming stumbled, “…Su…chang…”

"Xu Heming..." Huang Miaoyin spoke with an indifferent tone, like a cold iceberg, "Even if you've broken through to the Saint Rank, so what? A mere late-stage Saint Rank one level is still an ant in my eyes..."

"Huh?" Xiahou Cao's lips twitched. "Miaomiao's acting is pretty convincing. She's clearly a haughty little girl in the guise of a mature woman, hehe..."

I never imagined that Old Xu had such a deep psychological impact on her…

"Hey~"

He sighed, "Old Xu, why are you doing this? Miaomiao is already one of us, why are you still thinking about this?"

Isn't this just being incredibly bored?

“I once swore an oath here that when I attain sainthood,” Xu Heming stood beneath the city wall, his fists clenched, “I will return to Xishui to seek your guidance again!”

He made a fist with his right hand, his soul power condensing. "Come on, old friend!"

It seems that this obsession is truly profound, so much so that he is unwilling to even use Gan Jiang, insisting on using the Gentleman's Sword from back then to fulfill his oath.

Swish-!

A tattered Soul General Talisman appeared in his hand, and Xu Heming's aura continued to rise. "Su Chang... I once said... one day, I will shatter this hundred-foot-high wall... and take you away from this cage..."

"Sorry I'm late..."

“Star Soul…”

Golden soul power roared continuously, white hair stood on end, and the earth cracked inch by inch.

“…Construct!”

“Being too obsessed isn’t a good thing…” Xiahou Cao shook his head and raised his hand to form a hand seal. “Old Xu, you should just use [Gan Jiang] for a fair duel. Don’t make things too difficult for yourself.”

That's right. If Elder Xu insists on using the Gentleman's Sword, he might never be able to get past this inner demon illusion. Miao Miao's [Great Return Mode] could shatter the Gentleman's Sword with a single whip...

bass!

Sword energy erupted, and the white Sword Saint Gan Jiang was formed.

The entire machine gives the impression of a divine sword drawn from its sheath, its sword intent piercing the sky, tearing through the clouds, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the inner demon Wen Zhong.

One side is pure white, the other is pitch black.

"Star Soul General Gan Jiang!" Xu Heming blurted out inexplicably, then was completely bewildered. "What's wrong with me? I was clearly planning to construct the Gentleman's Sword..."

"This isn't enough of a cheat code; Old Xu is still guaranteed to lose..."

Xiahou Cao intensified his efforts to tamper with the illusion of inner demons, "I need to adjust Miaomiao's cultivation level to the late stage of the first level of the Saint Rank, otherwise we have no chance of winning at all..."

All of this stemmed from Xu Lao's deep-seated psychological trauma, leading him to believe that [Huang Miaoyin] was invincible.

Realm suppression, negative buff...

"Huh?" Sword Saint Gan Jiang leaped back, conjuring the Dragon-Sealing Greatsword. "Is this old hag's aura weakening? Maybe I can fight her this time?"

"No, that's not right..."

As he sensed the power of the Primordial Star Soul General, his expression gradually became subtle. "It seems that with [Gan Jiang]'s help, the advantage is in my hands..."

Gan Jiang has no shortage of swords: greatswords, one-handed swords, flying swords—he has them all.

It seemed as if the Primordial Star Soul was tailor-made for this swordsman, and he could wield it with ease and mastery.

"Flying sword, seal!"

Six Dragon-Sealing Flying Swords were conjured up, sealing off all of Wen Zhong's movements and turning him into an immovable target.

"Sky-Piercing Cone!" The inner demon Wen Zhong formed a sword-finger gesture, summoning his own sensory armor.

However, after being altered, her dome-piercing cone malfunctioned...

"Huh???" The inner demon Wen Zhong turned around and looked back, but the Sky-Breaking Cone on his back was not moving. "Why? Why can't my Sky-Breaking Cone move?"

"Ahem..." Xiahou Cao coughed awkwardly, "Miaomiao, oh Miaomiao, don't blame me, it's just that this you is a demonic illusion, the stronger you are, the more trouble you'll cause..."

He glanced at Xu Heming and said, "Old Xu, I've done enough. If you still can't win, then I really can't help you."

"arrest!"

Sword Saint Gan Jiang clenched his left fist and thrust the six Dragon-Sealing Flying Swords straight at the inner demon Wen Zhong. Although they did not completely penetrate him, they emitted a special force that restrained him.

This is the [Sealing Dragon Power].

Rumble!

He gripped the sword with both hands, raised it high to the sky, and golden sword energy pierced through heaven and earth, his aura constantly rising.

"Inner demons are simply the embodiment of my inner fears and obsessions..."

The path of swordsmanship is about cultivating the mind and breaking through barriers.

With the sword in my hand, I slay the demon in my heart…

Today, I, Xu Heming, will use this sword…

Slay the demons and break through the realm!

Prove the Way and become a saint!

break!!"

This sword strike was none other than the Heavenly Divine Fire Pillar. The Heavenly Sword Qi transformed into eight flame-shaped pillars, from which forty-nine fire dragons flew out, burning the inner demon Wen Zhong to ashes.

With a single sword strike, the illusion shattered.

……

Yellow Hat Regiment Headquarters.

"Initiate a beast tide?" The chief was somewhat bewildered. "But..."

The regimental commander turned around. "What's wrong?"

The chief retrieved an electronic recording device from his storage card and began his analysis, "But we haven't finished charging the stabilization device yet. If we activate it prematurely..."

Beep—beep—beep—!

"According to calculations, there is a 76% probability that the beast tide will become so large that it will be difficult to control..."

"What do you mean by 'to an extent that is difficult to control'?" The battalion commander was taken aback.

"The crack initiation device we use only consumes about 40% of the energy to open the crack, while 60% of the energy is supplied to the [limiting stabilizer]."

After a pause, the chief continued, "As the name suggests, the limiting stabilizer can precisely control the size of the cracks and the number and intensity of the ferocious beasts that appear..."

According to the Southward Induction Plan, our original plan was to activate 12 medium-sized rift induction devices to use the beast tide to tie down the Tiandu Kingdom's military forces in the southern border, in order to coordinate with Milun's southward invasion.

Our true purpose is to use this opportunity to unleash a beast tide powerful enough to devour the southern part of Tiandu Kingdom, plunging the world into chaos and drawing out the monsters from Taiyuan…

Taiyuan and his group talked about doctrines of universal love, non-aggression, and military intervention...

In reality, their actions were all aimed at balancing the military power of the three countries and eliminating any risk that could lead to the reunification of the Eastern Continent…

"..." The regimental commander fell into deep thought.

The chief continued, "If a beast tide spirals out of control, its numbers could multiply several times over, and there's even a possibility that countless god-level ferocious beasts might appear..."

"Hiss," the commander gasped, his eyes behind his sunglasses flickering slightly, "If the entire Heavenly Capital is swallowed by the beast tide, then it loses its value as a target for invasion..."

After all, what Milun wanted was to reclaim his homeland, unify the Eastern Continent, and restore the Heavenly Empire. A scorched earth filled with ferocious beasts was certainly not what Milun wanted to see…

“That’s right, then there are two possibilities!” The chief held up two fingers. “First, the beast tide is so strong that it threatens the entire Eastern Continent, causing the three kingdoms to put aside their rivalry and join forces to fight against the beast tide…”

II. The beast tide directly destroyed the entire Eastern Continent, ushering in a new era for civilization…

"And you want to lure Taiyuan into making a move because of the Doctor..."

He paused, then added, "But in both of these situations, Taiyuan would likely ignore them..."

Moreover, we also risk being devoured by the out-of-control beast tide…

P.S.: I'm so frustrated. My grades were definitely up to standard the month before last, but I didn't get perfect attendance. I'm exhausted...
