Chapter 198 is matching with equally cunning opponents.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
As many people know, during the period of warlordism, Lü Bu was in Xuzhou, where he had both the first-rate general Zhang Liao and the first-rate strategist Chen Gong under his command, making him an extremely tough nut to crack.
Back then, Cao Cao attacked Lü Bu several times, but failed to defeat him.
Just when the two sides were at an impasse.
Chen Gui made his move.
He first used a stratagem to trick Lü Bu into handing over Xuzhou, and then when Cao Cao's army arrived, he opened the city gates and surrendered, saying, "Your Excellency serves the Emperor to command the feudal lords, and I, Gui, will naturally follow!"
Oh no, there's a mole!
Realizing something was wrong, Lü Bu was eventually killed by Cao Cao at the White Gate Tower.
Chen Gui also awakened his protection: Yingtu!
[Whenever someone gains treasures, skills, or combat power through the blessing, Chen Gui can forcibly steal them and give them to someone else.]
So Xun You exhausted all his fighting spirit to snatch the thunderbolt chariot from Liu Ye, but before he could even enjoy it, it was stolen back by the lewd old man Chen Gui with his dirty hands, and returned to its rightful owner.
Fireballs flew through the air, and even the strongest walls could not withstand them!
As Liu Ye cast his protective spell, massive rocks rained down from the sky like a meteor shower of flames, utterly crushing the opposing force.
"Retreat immediately!"
Just as Cao Cao saw that the situation was not good and was preparing to retreat.
"I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan!"
"Guan Yu is here! You will all die!"
Suddenly, a reinforcement army arrived outside the city. The two generals in charge were Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, who had just returned after recruiting soldiers and horses. One had a red face and a long beard, and the other was wearing silver armor and carrying a long spear.
Standing atop Xiaopei city wall, Chen Feng watched Zhao Yun charge into Cao Cao's army, wielding his spear for a long time but only managing to kill a few men. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Zilong and Xuande are reunited; I'm too happy to be angry."
It would be great if Zhao Yun had a short temper.
At this moment, Jia Xu shook his whisk and laughed, "It's time."
Having said that, he shouted from the top of the city wall: "Everyone, look at me! Look at me!"
As everyone looked up, Jia Xu announced, "I am Jia Xu, and I have joined Liu Bei's army!"
Almost instantly, a notification appeared in the public chat: [Jia Xu has joined Liu Bei's army]
Subsequently, [Zhang Xiu's forces joined Liu Bei's army, and Wancheng now belonged to Liu Bei].
Jia Xu explained to Liu Bei, "Before I left, I made a secret signal with General Zhang Xiu. When he sees me joining you, he will also join. This way, we can catch Cao Cao off guard."
Liu Bei understood immediately: "I will entrust Wancheng and all the troops in Xuzhou to Yun Chang!"
After his number of soldiers suddenly exceeded 100,000.
Guan Yu's body blazed with a soaring red battle aura as he laughed, "I'm getting into it!"
Due to the resonance of fighting spirit, Guan Yu comprehended the protection of the Realm Martial Saint.
Due to the resonance of their fighting spirits, Guan Yu comprehended the protection of the Martial Saint.
Chen Feng checked the system records. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem, but upon closer recall, he felt that something was amiss: "Strange, it seems like something is missing."
Just as Chen Feng was speaking...
Guan Yu's phoenix eyes widened, his silkworm eyebrows stood straight up, and he charged straight at Cao Cao, wielding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
Cao Cao was greatly alarmed: "Quickly, someone come!"
Since Guan Yu didn't have Red Hare at this point in time, he was stopped by Xiahou Dun after only charging halfway.
"Don't harm my lord!"
There was a sharp, slicing sound.
Caught off guard, Xiahou Dun had no time to activate his protective measures before Guan Yu swiftly struck him down from his horse.
Xiahou Dun was a first-rate general, capable of fighting Guan Yu for dozens of rounds. However, Cao Cao's northern forces had been wiped out by Yuan Shao, and his southern forces had been destroyed by the trebuchets. Without the protection of battle aura, the gap between him and 100,000 battle aura-protected warriors was too great.
"Quickly! Protect the Prime Minister!"
With another swift stroke, Guan Yu beheaded Yu Jin, the second general to reach the top.
"Prime Minister, I have done my utmost!"
The one who said these words was Xu Chu, the last of the great generals, who used his life to hold off the third blow.
At this moment, Guan Yu also arrived in front of Cao Cao.
[Strategist Martial Saint: Your first three attacks deal true damage that ignores any defense below the multi-level. After three attacks, you are forced into a state of severance, letting your opponent go.]
So even though Cao Cao was already in front of us.
But Guan Yu, who had triggered the blessing, could only turn away and say, "Next time we meet on the battlefield, I, Guan Yu, will show no mercy."
Watching Guan Yu's retreating figure, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, breaking out in a cold sweat: "That was close! Although I don't know why Yun Chang spared me, at least I survived."
As long as you survive, there is hope for a comeback!
Just as Cao Cao was preparing to regroup, Guan Yu suddenly turned his horse around, raised his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and said, "We meet again."
Cao Cao was dumbfounded: "?"
At this moment, Chen Feng finally realized something was wrong: "Guan Yu hasn't awakened the Righteousness Protection!"
As is well known, after Cao Cao recruited Guan Yu, he not only gifted him the Red Hare horse and bestowed upon him gold and silver, but also did not pursue the matter of Guan Yu's journey through five passes and slaying six generals when Guan Yu left, leaving Guan Yu with a great debt of gratitude.
Later, after the Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao suffered a major defeat and encountered Guan Yu at Huarong Road.
Guan Yu had clearly made a pledge to Zhuge Liang, but because he had received kindness from Prime Minister Cao, he decided to let Cao Cao go, stating that from now on, the debt of gratitude was severed and the bond of righteousness should be broken.
If we meet again on the battlefield, we will show no mercy.
This is the origin of the concept of Kaguya-sabhaya.
Here comes the problem.
In this timeline, Guan Yu never surrendered to Cao Cao, let alone received any favors from him.
Therefore, he did not awaken the protective power of severing ties, and naturally he would not let Cao Cao off the hook.
A swift, decisive cut.
Cao Cao's head fell to the ground.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard: "Taking your dog's head is as easy as taking something out of a bag!"
On the city wall, Jia Xu looked at Chen Feng and asked, "Can you take me away now?"
Chen Feng gave an apologetic look: "I'll definitely do it next time."
Liu Bei's army successfully killed Cao Cao.
[You have comprehended the divinity of space and time, and awakened the blessing... Simulation error! You are unable to digest the divinity from the simulation.]
You have won.
This simulation has ended, consuming one point.
You did not obtain any items in this simulation.
You can retain one relationship from this simulation: the friendship between Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Jia Xu, or Zhou Cang.
You can retain the level of cultivation gained in this simulation (from Li Dian)
[You can unlock a buff for the generals you killed in this simulation: Li Dian/Xu Chu/Xiahou Dun/Yu Jin]
【你当前积分为：80（碎生物装备-1十连强化-10败家子任务+5击败邪恶救世主+40装逼打脸任务极限反杀+5击败大妖+24每日情报查看宇宙动向-1模拟器系统-2）】
Temporary points: 0
"Thirteen temporary points, and divinity—these involve multiple forces; can't they be brought out from the simulation?"
Chen Feng had just opened his eyes.
[The equipment enhancement system was heard complaining: Boss, one simulation was cautious enough, is there any need to simulate it a second time? I think you've gone crazy.]
"You know nothing about Cihang."
Chen Feng scolded, "One simulation is definitely not enough. I must do a complete simulation, step on all the pitfalls, and obtain the perfect walkthrough before I can actually go."
[The equipment enhancement expert said, "Boss, if you're going to play like this, I doubt your 80 points will be enough to save all five group members."]
"Be careful in everything you do, you can't go wrong!"
Chen Feng quickly selected his gains: "Li Dian's protection, Zhao Yun's friendship, and one level of cultivation."
"Alright, now we can really set off."
Since the Battle of Guandu has been completely cleared.
Therefore, Chen Feng is preparing to bring his teammates, the saviors, along this time.
Why didn't you choose anyone else?
First of all, Old Wolf and Erha can't go.
Although the combined buffs of Yan Liang and Wen Chou can force others to compete with you in terms of stats.
After Old Wolf gained the talent of becoming stronger by breathing, he only had numerical values.
Old Wolf and his two heroes were practically invincible, but unfortunately, the Three Kingdoms didn't allow beings to become spirits. If Old Wolf were to transmigrate to that world, he would truly become a wolf, probably without even intelligence, let alone learn anything like protection or fighting spirit.
She Qingqing and the husky are the same; they can only maintain their human form by going to the Monster King, a world with monsters.
The sorcerer's power is too incompatible with that world; he is more suited to the superpowered world of a cosmic overlord.
The three fat guys are studying cultivation, so going to the World of the First Saints is the best place for them to cultivate.
The remaining savior and warriors.
After much deliberation, Chen Feng chose the savior.
Although the Savior specializes in magic and is the most powerful in the world of immortal dragons, he also possesses physical skills and swordsmanship, so he is not like others who are rendered useless by the cosmic firewall.
Most importantly, the savior's biggest weakness is his low judgment; he would be best suited to study the mythical Three Kingdoms period.
"Of course, the samurai will also go."
"Maybe we can figure out something amazing."
Chen Feng did not invite the savior.
Because given the savior's cautious nature, he would absolutely not agree to go to a strange world.
Fortunately, the interdimensional travel system only requires the other party to be an ally; consent is not required.
So when Chen Feng pressed the system button, the two of them disappeared from Cihang City.
It's the same location.
Xuzhou, Xiapi City.
As soon as Chen Feng transmigrated, he heard the savior complaining, "This is far too careless. You need to simulate it at least a hundred times, no, at least ten thousand times, before you can be sure there's no danger, right?"
"Brother, I can't afford 10,000 points. Also, using the interdimensional travel method will allow you to get all the rewards, while using the simulator will only allow you to get one item. So be greedy if you want."
Chen Feng comforted him.
"I've already completed the game in the simulation."
"You stay here and learn from Zhang Fei and Liu Bei how to increase the priority of protection. I'll go find Jia Xu. Don't worry, we'll win."
Chen Feng had just stepped out of the room, before he could finish speaking.
Suddenly! A blue battle aura, carrying the power of space and time, roared over and blasted Chen Feng and the Savior into a bloody pulp!
-----------------
On the main timeline.
Luoyang City.
The air was thick with the aroma of alcohol. In a pool of fine wine, there was a huge, ever-expanding mountain of flesh. If it weren't for the four limbs as thick as an elephant's, it would be hard to imagine that this was a human being.
Inside the mountain of flesh was a giant throat covered with spiraling sharp teeth, which was constantly sucking up the wine and meat served by the maids.
"Hahaha, I want more, more!"
This monster is none other than the Demon Lord Dong Zhuo, whose flesh and blood have been corrupted.
Beside him stood a blonde beauty with three eyes, an old acquaintance of Chen Feng, the Chosen One of the Compassionate Ones, and the future Yuanjun, India.
Apart from India.
There were two other people in the room, or rather, two monsters.
One of them had a fawning expression and, although he looked like a man, his voice was high-pitched, clearly indicating he was a eunuch. Above his head floated ten distorted human faces, some crying, some laughing, some angry, and some fearful.
The Ten Attendants of Flesh and Blood.
They were originally ten powerful eunuchs who held immense power during the late Eastern Han Dynasty. They killed General He Jin, which ushered in the Three Kingdoms period, and were later killed by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
As a complete collector, Dong Zhuo never killed any of the generals and strategists he defeated, even though they surrendered. So, in this timeline, they were still alive and were corrupted by Cihang.
As for the other person, his upper body was human, and his lower body was fused with a crimson steed. He was half-human and half-horse, holding a halberd, and was the pinnacle of martial prowess in the mythical Three Kingdoms.
Lu Bu, flesh and blood.
The future Yuanjun blinked his third eye and asked the three, "I've found him. In the timeline of 199 (the fourth year of Jian'an), which of you can go?"
The group looked at each other in bewilderment. In that timeline, they had all died, so they couldn't get there.
The future Yuanjun could only rephrase it as: "In that timeline, who was the most powerful living person?"
Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, it is Zhao Zilong and Guan Yu."
The Future Yuanjun took out two flesh-and-blood grapes and said, "Bring them here."
The Ten Attendants lowered their heads: "Reporting to the Divine Messenger, all these people have been taken away by Zhuge Liang and hidden away."
The future emperor looked at Dong Zhuo: "Who is Zhuge Liang? Didn't you say that you had already unified this world?"
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Yes, but before the Bodhisattva arrived..."
Long before Dong Zhuo was killed, and before the great demon was punished to death.
Zhuge Liang observed the celestial phenomena at night and felt that something bad was about to happen: "By observing the celestial phenomena tonight, I can know the major events in the world."
【Astrological Blessing (Unlocked in Mythical Three Kingdoms 1.0): You can divine the fortune of the next five days】
"The divination result was extremely bad, but there are no signs at all. What could be the reason?"
In order to find out the truth.
Zhuge Liang began to exert his power.
[Blessing the Heavens (Unlocked in Mythical Three Kingdoms 9.0): You can know what will happen in this universe over the next seven days]
It still didn't work.
Let's do it again!
[Blessed to the End (Unlocked in Mythical Three Kingdoms 10.0 MAX): You can learn about events that will occur in the next seven days across the multiverse]
"Found it. There is a god who will invade our world soon."
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly indicating that obtaining such a divine secret had taken a toll on his health.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei, as the disciple, quickly asked, "What happened?"
Zhuge Liang's face was grim: "The Purple Star is waning, and the Heavenly Fiend is shining brightly; we are about to face a great calamity!"
The next day, Zhuge Liang went to court and warned Dong Zhuo to be careful, but Dong Zhuo did not take it seriously and had his guards drag Zhuge Liang out.
Duan Gui, one of the Ten Attendants, said, "Want to see the Emperor? Hmph, you're probably not so lucky!"
After returning home.
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan, and his entire body glowed with a soaring red battle aura.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Wei quickly asked, "Prime Minister, what's going on?"
Zhuge Liang dropped his feather fan to the ground and sighed, "Knowing the will of Heaven is easy, but defying it is difficult!"
【Blessing Strategy (Unlocked in Mythical Three Kingdoms 7.0): You can simulate and predict future outcomes】
Zhuge Liang used his fighting spirit to protect himself and deduced 6234 million developments of this universe. Without exception, they all turned into flesh and blood universes, which made him very desperate: "I have done my best, but Heaven still wins against me."
Upon learning the details, Jiang Wei advised, "Knowing the will of Heaven is easy, but why not defy it?"
After saying this, Jiang Wei poured all his fighting spirit into Zhuge Liang's body.
With Jiang Wei's help, Zhuge Liang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and discovered a glimmer of hope in the 9264 millionth deduction: "Given the current situation, only this strategy can solve it."
Then, Zhuge Liang resigned from his position as prime minister and took all the Shu Han generals who were on good terms with him with him, and hid in a place.
This is why Dong Zhuo, despite unifying the country, had no subordinates like Guan Yu or Zhao Yun.
Upon hearing this, the future Yuanjun angrily shouted, "Find him!"
The Ten Attendants lowered their heads and said, "We can't find it."
"waste!"
The future Yuanjun's third eye shone brightly, and he decided to take action himself.
The mythical Three Kingdoms world is not subject to the restrictions of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation. In addition, Cihang is about to be unsealed, so at this time, as Cihang's chosen one, India can hardly find anyone in the city.
She can find that person even if they are hiding in other countries, on other planets, or in other timelines.
After scanning the area, India was stunned: "I can't find it? Who exactly is this Zhuge Liang?"
If we can't find it, we have to think of other ways.
After Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, Dong Zhuo recommended Yuan Shao, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao, all powerful figures in the 199-200 BC timeline, and ultimately Cao Cao was chosen.
Looking at Cao Cao being escorted by the Ten Attendants.
Holding the flesh and blood grapes, India said, "These grapes are very precious. The Bodhisattva only gave me six. If it weren't for dealing with the Savior and the warriors, I would really be reluctant to part with them."
The Ten Attendants asked India why she wasn't feeding her now.
India glanced at Chen Feng, who was playing a simulator on Cihang, and said it wasn't time yet: "You guys have never fished before, have you? To deal with cunning fish, you need to throw in more bait."
As she was talking, India suddenly froze, then exclaimed with delight, "Here it comes! We've finally been fooled! It's actually the savior! What a big fish!"
When India stuffed the grapes into Cao Cao's mouth, in an instant, Cao Cao across countless timelines in the mythical Three Kingdoms universe was corrupted and transformed into a flesh-and-blood form like Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo.
Of course, this also includes the Guandu timeline in which Chen Feng is located.
Upon seeing the Prime Minister's face suddenly covered in writhing flesh, Xun Yu, Xun You, and the others were shocked: "Prime Minister, what happened to you?"
Cao Cao, the flesh-and-blood figure, glanced at the document, but did not answer. Instead, he decisively slapped himself a few times.
Bless and guide the heart, activate!
T0 masochistic Cao Cao makes his debut!
"Prime Minister, why is this?"
"No, my battle aura is dissipating! Run!"
After draining the life force of several top-tier strategists around him, the flesh-and-blood Cao Cao immediately gained the power to destroy cities.
But that's not enough.
He wanted more, so Cao Cao left the room and ran back and forth in Xuchang, hitting himself as he went.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Help!"
Amidst the agonizing screams of the crowd.
Soon, Xudu became a dead city.
[Demon Cao Cao's Blessing: Unlocking the Hegemony]
[Unlocked with Cao Cao's Blessing]
The combat power gained from returning to one's heart will dissipate over time.
Therefore, after obtaining the power of time and space, Cao Cao did not hesitate at all. He directly launched an attack towards Xuzhou according to the address given by the future Yuanjun, and blasted Chen Feng and the savior who had just landed into dust.
"How can the phoenix chick perish!"
Two phoenix cries.
Pang Tong's blessing and the Phoenix's blessing were activated simultaneously, and Chen Feng and the Savior were both reborn.
They exchanged a glance and quickly realized what had happened.
Chen Feng: "That's a very familiar starting move. It must be Cihang coming."
The savior was furious: "I told you you weren't careful enough! We're not best friends anymore!"
"run!"
Chen Feng used his movement technique to flee into the distance, but even with his explosive street-level physique and the Divine Sword Shadowless Step, he was no match for Cao Cao, who had slaughtered an entire city and gained explosive nation-level strength and the power of time and space.
Hegemony!
The dark blue battle aura attack locked onto Chen Feng, about to shatter him.
"Oh no! Pang Tong's protection has been used up. If I die here, the savior will be lost forever in this time and space!"
Just as Chen Feng was about to use up his points to activate the cheat system.
The dark blue battle aura had actually disappeared.
Who?
Chen Feng and Cao Cao were both taken aback.
Even Guan Yu, a top-tier hero in this world, is only at the city-bursting level. Is there anyone else who can withstand an attack at the nation-bursting level?
Have.
A man with a feather fan, a silk turban, and a crane-feather cloak suddenly appeared before Chen Feng and smiled in the direction of Xudu, saying, "Knowing that you intend to carry out this plan, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
