Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Lin Mu wasn't surprised that Sun Jian had a trump card. But the fact that his trump card was six puppets at the level of a fifth-level Divine General was somewhat astonishing to Lin Mu.

Generally speaking, puppets rarely exceed the level of a First-Rank Divine General. The puppets he acquired, or similar ones, rarely surpass the level of a First-Rank Divine General.

Moreover, Lin Mu vaguely sensed that this puppet called the [Heavenly Martial Six Ding Divine Armor Warrior] was very different from ordinary puppets.

"Buzz!~~~" Just as Lin Mu expected, in the next moment, the six [Heavenly Martial Six Ding Divine Armor Warriors] dispersed and surrounded Lin Mu. Then, a strange energy emanated from their bodies, forming a strange energy array, and Lin Mu was right in the center of the array.

"My lord!!" At this moment, Wang Yue's anxious voice rang out.

"Clang!~~~" At that moment, a metallic clanging sound rang out.

Sun Jian and Wang Yue have started a fight.

In other words, Lin Mu currently needs to face six puppets at the level of a fifth-level Divine General all by himself!

Lin Mu was startled, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

In this situation, he has to use his trump card, otherwise, with his mere peak Heaven Rank strength, he simply cannot withstand a single round from six Five-Element Divine Generals.

However, the six [Heavenly Martial Six Ding Divine Armor Warriors] did not make a move immediately. Instead, they used an energy array to trap Lin Mu before preparing to attack.

"My lord, Ziyi has arrived!!!" However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came.

Before the sound had faded, a burly figure suddenly appeared beside Lin Mu. Without pausing, he spun around and brandished two strange halberds still shrouded in a faint red glow, slashing at the six mysterious black figures.

With a swing of the halberd, six strange, fiery red phoenix shadows suddenly appeared and shot towards the six figures.

The six strange, fiery red phoenix shadows moved with incredible speed, striking the six figures in an instant.

"BOOM!!!" A violent energy explosion suddenly rang out.

The ship where Lin Mu was standing was directly affected by the terrifying energy wave and turned into dust and disappeared.

As for the six Heavenly Martial Six Divine Armor Warriors, their whereabouts are unknown...

As for Lin Mu, the Dragon Yuan Power shield on his body shattered, but the next moment, a fiery red shield enveloped him, protecting him from the aftershocks of the energy.

"Phew! Ziyi is back!" Lin Mu had indeed sensed the danger and was preparing to use his trump card, but before the six [Heavenly Martial Six Ding Divine Armor Warriors] could make a move, Taishi Ci appeared.

Fortunately, Taishi Ci returned to the Origin Realm right next to him, otherwise he would have had to use up another trump card...

"They escaped..." Taishi Ci's voice came again. Clearly, the previous attack had not destroyed the six [Heavenly Martial Six Ding Divine Armor Warriors].

"Damn it! How come there's another peak-level Nine Yuan Divine General?!" At this moment, Sun Ce, who was fighting alongside Huang Zhong, couldn't help but curse after sensing Taishi Ci's aura.

Three peak-level Nine-Yuan Divine Generals, this is simply unreasonable!

One of them could beat the four generals under his father Sun Jian to a pulp!

Now, there are three!!!

How can we fight like this?!

"Father, Gongjin, let's retreat!!" After a moment's thought, Sun Ce transmitted his voice to Sun Jian and Zhou Yu, who was hiding in the shadows.

"Things are hopeless; we must retreat. Lin Mu has likely revealed most of his true strength, which we cannot match at present," Zhou Yu's voice also came through.

"With the revival of heaven and earth, the fortunes of all the lords have soared, and generals and strategists are constantly growing... We have ultimately fallen behind!" Sun Jian sighed softly.

"Ce'er, you protect everyone and help them retreat. I'll try out that move and get a feel for it," Sun Jian transmitted to Sun Ce.

"Bang!!" On the river surface where the mist lingered, Taishi Ci helped Lin Mu board a boat again, while Taishi Ci was carrying a person in his right hand, who was none other than Pu Yuan.

Lin Mu stared in astonishment at Taishi Ci, whose entire body was enveloped in a fiery red glow.

"Ziyi, didn't you go to forge weapons? How come your strength seems to have increased dramatically?" Lin Mu asked in surprise.

"Hehe... I've advanced to the level of a Nine-Yuan Divine General in terms of cultivation. Not only that, my martial prowess has also reached 98 points!!!" Taishi Ci said excitedly, his face beaming.

Upon hearing Taishi Ci's words, Lin Mu was once again shaken.

Taishi Ci's transformation signifies that in terms of martial prowess, he is now roughly on par with Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and even Zhao Yun!

Dian Wei and Huang Zhong have both reached 99 points, while Zhao Yun currently only has 98 points.

With the changes in his cultivation level, Zhao Yun might not even be able to defeat Taishi Ci... especially since Taishi Ci has also reforged his exclusive weapon.

Lin Mu had a premonition that Taishi Ci's exclusive weapon would bring a surprise to the Great Wilderness Territory!
Unfortunately, for some reason, the system didn't provide any related notifications!

"Hehe...My lord, I've also gained a lot this time!" At this moment, Pu Yuan, who was being carried, reported to his lord Lin Mu.

"Great! This adventure has come to a perfect end!" Lin Mu was genuinely happy for the two of them.

Three members of one family have become Nine-Yuan Divine Generals; which other warlord could possess such a foundation?!

"Boom!!!" A violent shockwave rippled outwards, and the pervasive white mist rapidly dissipated in the next moment.

"Bang!!" The next moment, Guo Jia's figure appeared like a ghost on the boat where Lin Mu was standing. He was the one who dispelled the fog on the Yellow River.

"Hey... Ziyi, you've grown a lot!" Guo Jia was also happy for Taishi Ci.

"We've basically reached our peak. For the next period of time, I will stop cultivating and improving my cultivation level and focus entirely on developing our exclusive troop type. As soon as possible, I will create a natural enemy for my lord that can crush the flying troops of the grassland tribes!" Taishi Ci said firmly.

"If Yun Yue and Zi Yi's troops appear, it will ease our difficult situation," Guo Jia said meaningfully.

In his view, the current situation in the Great Wilderness Territory is not very clear. The territory it has expanded into is too large and spans too wide. If one part collapses, it will cause a chain reaction.

In particular, the sudden move by the Great Wilderness Territory to take control of Youzhou and Qingzhou has increased the danger of the situation in the Great Wilderness Territory by more than tenfold!
There is no major crisis at present because Dong Zhuo is just diverting attention.

Once the feudal lords have some free time, they will start targeting the Great Wilderness territory.

"Let's put that aside for now and deal with Sun Jian first." Lin Mu turned his attention back to the battlefield.

We'll set aside the cases of Taishi Ci and Pu Yuan for now and study them later when we have more time.

"Dao Jiu, Sun Ce is very good at escaping..." Guo Jia suddenly reminded him at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu nodded, as he had already learned of it from Dian Wei's message.

Just then, after Guo Jia finished his reminder, that familiar fluctuation rippled outwards, and countless ships were enveloped by that energy fluctuation.

"Whoosh!~~~~" In the next moment, countless ships rose slightly, defying the laws of physics, and then they transformed into streaks of light, shooting rapidly downstream.

Sun Ce is really going to escape!

That's true. With Taishi Ci and Guo Jia both appearing, how could they not flee? If this drags on any longer, they might be completely wiped out!
Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Mu was still dumbfounded when he saw the scene.

Sun Ce is awesome!!!
This method is really amazing!

When it comes to the skill of escaping on water, Sun Ce is undoubtedly number one!

In truth, Lin Mu still harbored a strong desire to ambush and kill Sun Jian and Sun Ce, deposing the future rulers of Wu. However, he knew that Sun Jian and Sun Ce still had trump cards up their sleeves, and without absolute certainty, he refrained from forging a blood feud with them for the time being.

His two ambushes were merely to eliminate Sun Jian from the ranks of those plotting against Dong Zhuo, not out of personal vendetta. The fact that Guo Jia and Dian Wei did not pursue Sun Ce's fleet, and that they did not pursue it recklessly this time, demonstrates this point.

Sun Jian was aware of this, which is why he did not fight to the death.

"Whoosh!!!" However, just when Lin Mu thought Sun Jian would retreat with Sun Ce, he suddenly saw him leap out of the Yellow River, then swing his long sword and slash at... Taishi Ci!

That's right, instead of ambushing Lin Mu, he ambushed Taishi Ci!

Sun Jian, who had soared into the air, was now experiencing a surge in his aura. In an instant, he broke through to the seventh level of the Divine General realm and continued to climb, eventually reaching the eighth level!

Good heavens, is this yet another trump card of Sun Jian's?!

"It's only up to the eighth level of the Divine General..." However, the protagonist Sun Jian was very dissatisfied at this moment.

He gathered the strength of the entire army, and even borrowed the power of his own son Sun Ce, yet he still couldn't reach the peak of the Nine-Element Divine General.

"It still needs time to settle!" Sun Jian thought to himself.

"Clang!" With a gentle wave of his strange halberd, which was constantly emitting a fiery red glow, Taishi Ci blocked Sun Jian's attack.

The next moment, Taishi Ci moved slightly and shot away like lightning, his halberd slashing towards Sun Jian in mid-air.

Sun Jian twisted his body sharply to dodge the attack, then swung his long sword upwards with a fierce killing intent, aiming for Taishi Ci's lower limbs.

Taishi Ci's left hand sank, and his halberd, as heavy as a thousand pounds, crashed into Sun Jian's longsword.

A loud clang rang out, but the next moment, Taishi Ci's halberd swung around suddenly and slammed into Sun Jian's body.

The protective shield of divine energy on his body shattered directly. However, the aftershocks of the attack had dissipated, but Sun Jian slammed into the Yellow River, stirring up towering waves.

"Damn it, they escaped again." At this moment, Huang Zhong's voice came.

The next moment, Huang Zhong suddenly appeared beside Lin Mu. And Wang Yue, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, also returned to Lin Mu's side.

After that, everyone looked toward the battlefield between Taishi Ci and Sun Jian.

"My lord, how about I go..." Huang Zhong said meaningfully, looking at Sun Jian's figure.

"No need. Sun Jian is just testing the waters. If you join, he will retreat."

"A trial move? Could it be that the sudden surge to the level of an Eighth-Rank Divine General was achieved by leveraging the power of his subordinate generals?" Huang Zhong asked in surprise after realizing what had happened.

"It should be," Guo Jia nodded in reply.

Afterwards, everyone watched the battlefield, observing the duel between the two top-tier divine generals. Don't underestimate Sun Jian just because he is only an Eighth-Rank Divine General; he is extremely brave. When his divine energy shield was shattered, he continued to erect it. When he crashed into the Yellow River, he continued to charge out, constantly fighting against Taishi Ci.

He truly deserves the title of "Tiger of Jiangdong." (End of Chapter)
