Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

There wasn't a soul in front of the somewhat disheveled palace.

"My lord, did General Gongtu and the others not stop Sun Jian and his men? Or did they go after them?" Seeing that Sun Jian, Dian Wei, and the others were not present at the scene, Cui Wu asked in confusion.

"They didn't go after them; they're trapped in the golden mist formation ahead," Lin Mu sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Three formidable warriors are trapped in the formation?!

What level of formation is this that it has rendered three Heavenly Generals, who are on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly General realm, helpless?!

Lin Mu led the group to the formation, but they were also at a loss. This was because they were not skilled in formations.

Lin Mu unleashed a Tai Long Qi Observation Technique, and a system notification sounded in his ear:
"--Ding!"

"—System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, you have successfully used the [Supreme Dragon Aura Observation Technique], proficiency +1. You have obtained the following information:"

Name: [Heavenly Martial Military Formation] (Damaged)

Rank: God Rank

Characteristics: Formation
Attributes:
1. [Merging Soldiers Formation]: Infused with the aura of elite soldiers, merging with the formation, it can trap enemy troops and protect friendly troops. It has no killing power; as long as the soldiers are in the formation, the formation will break when the soldiers die.

2. The formation is damaged and cannot be viewed.

3. The formation is damaged and cannot be viewed.

4. The formation is damaged and cannot be viewed.

5. The formation is damaged and cannot be viewed.

Description: A magical array forged by a military strategist from a certain era in China, incorporating special rules. At its peak, it possesses power that transcends heaven and earth.

……

"A military strategist from a certain era..." Lin Mu murmured softly, his eyes narrowing slightly after discovering its attributes.

This was the first time he'd ever seen something like this... Sun Jian, this guy, actually has some real resources...

If Sun Jian hadn't had such a trump card, the ambush by Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Taishi Ci would likely have sealed the fate of Sun Jian's army, ending their demise.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Lin Mu wasn't too surprised by this.

Which powerful figure doesn't have some tricks up their sleeve? If they really don't, they'll easily turn into bones in this terrifying wave!

Lin Mu glanced at the sky; the deep purple light had already begun to move, heading south.

"I wonder where Sun Jian's purple aura has spread to... If it really reaches Jingzhou, that would be terrifying..." Lin Mu pondered to himself.

"My lord, what should we do? We can't break it with brute force..." Cui Wu, who had just failed to break the formation with his weapon, ran over and asked.

"It's alright, it will disappear slowly..." Lin Mu said meaningfully.

After that, Lin Mu and the others waited for Dian Wei and the others at the same spot...

……

"Whoosh!!!!" A rain of arrows rose into the sky, seemingly obscuring the purple light in the heavens.

"There was an ambush? How did they get around it? Why didn't the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Flying Bear Divine Army encounter them?" Huang Gai stared at the rain of arrows in the sky, his face ashen.

It turned out that after breaking through the obstruction of Dian Wei and others, Huang Gai and his men marched at full speed and quickly passed through several palace complexes.

However, just as they were about to pass through the fifth palace complex, before they even saw the enemy, they were met with a rain of arrows.

In order to escape, Sun Jian ordered all his soldiers to abandon their baggage and did not carry any shields. Now they could only rely on their bare hands and parries.

"Whoosh! ~~~~" Arrows rained down like black raindrops.

"Clang! Clang! ~~~~"

"Ah!~~ Ah~~~"

Soon, the sounds of blocking and wails of pain rang out. Even though Huang Gai and the others frantically used their Yuan Power to bombard the sky with arrows, there were still arrows they couldn't avoid.

Just as a target was being shot at, many ordinary soldiers were still killed by arrows.

"Buzz!~~~" After that, the second wave of arrows and the third wave of arrows kept rising.

"Retreat! Retreat!!!" Sensing a fierce general ahead, Huang Gai decisively led his troops in a retreat. Sun Jian's aura, hidden within the crowd, also retreated...

"Not in this group!" Yan Liang's figure slowly appeared on a high wall.

"This is getting a bit tricky. We don't know how many routes Sun Jian will divide his forces into... We've only set up five routes in total..."

"Chase them!" Yan Liang ordered.

Immediately, a dense swarm of soldiers emerged, following Huang Gai's army in pursuit.

The same thing happened elsewhere; whether by coincidence or not, all five points Yuan Shao had set up blocked Sun Jian's troops...

However, Sun Jian disappeared; he didn't charge to the front as usual...

"Kill! Kill!!!" The deafening battle cries echoed throughout the palace complex.

A more brutal and bloody battlefield emerged in the palace, which had been silent for many years...

And before anyone knew it, the blood on the ground began to seep into the ground at a rate visible to the naked eye...

Both sides, blinded by rage, were completely oblivious to this situation.

At this moment, the attacking side only thought about breaking through, while the blocking side desperately held off the enemy.

Yuan Shao's defensive line tightly bound Sun Jian's army.

Meanwhile, on one battlefield, Sun Ce clashed with Wen Chou and Yan Liang. He knew that as long as he could hold out for a while, his father and the Imperial Seal would have a better chance. He wielded the Overlord Spear with fierce power, creating a series of shadowy movements, while the imposing aura behind him grew increasingly solid, with the faint sound of a dragon's roar emanating from it.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Spears clashed, sparks flying. Sun Ce's strength was terrifying; each strike of his spear felt like a thousand pounds, causing Wen Chou and Yan Liang's arms to go numb. However, the two were not weak either, and with their indomitable will and amplification, they managed to fight Sun Ce to a standstill.

Originally, Wen Chou was the one to deal with Sun Ce, but after fighting for a while, he realized that he was no match for him, so he had to call Yan Liang over.

Huang Gai and the others did not appear on the battlefield...

"Oh no, Sun Jian is nowhere to be seen. Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu, these three trusted generals of Sun Jian, have also disappeared. Could it be that after breaking through the encirclement, they had already left the main force and fled when they were on their way here?" Guo Tu's voice rang in Yuan Shao's ears.

At this moment, Yuan Shao and his men stood on the roof of a half-collapsed palace, overlooking the battlefield.

"There seems to be some lingering aura over there!" A man in black robes pointed in a direction and whispered a suggestion. He held a compass in his hand.

"Let's go!!" Yuan Shao was decisive and immediately believed the man in black robes, leading a few people and a portion of his troops to hurry over.

However, when they arrived, they found that it was just a thousand-strong retinue, and their leader was not Sun Jian, but a banner!
“It’s Sun Jian’s aura, but it’s not his real body!” Guo Tu’s expression changed slightly.

"Hmph! Continue your calculations. The purple aura is still nearby. Sun Jian is hiding right here!" Yuan Shao sneered.

However, at that moment, terrifying auras suddenly erupted from the place they had come from.

"A diversionary tactic! Oh no!!!" Xu You and the others' expressions changed drastically upon realizing this.

Sun Jian, Huang Gai, and others did not leave the army to retreat on their own. They remained hidden and did not act even when they saw their soldiers being slaughtered.

The purpose was to lure away Yuan Shao's main force, and then take advantage of the gap to break through in one fell swoop!
Sun Jian was too cunning!!!
Yuan Shao and his men rushed back, but upon arriving at the main battlefield, they discovered that a portion of Sun Jian's army had broken through and fled to Nangong Qun... and disappeared!
"Damn it! He escaped!!!" Yuan Shao, whose face was already gloomy, flew into a rage along the way.

"Useless idiots, all of them useless idiots!! They couldn't even react when someone tricked them, and they call it a divine scheme, what a load of rubbish!!!" Yuan Shao was so angry that he even cursed Xu You and Guo Tu.

Ignoring the reactions of others, he turned around and looked at the battlefield where Yan Liang and Wen Chou were fighting, staring fiercely at Sun Ce, who was battling the two.

Sun Ce is Sun Jian's son. If we capture him, we can use him to threaten Sun Jian!
"Take down Sun Ce at all costs!!!" Yuan Shao roared like a wild beast.

Sun Jian and Huang Gai broke through the encirclement, but Sun Ce did not... He had to personally hold off the two super generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou. If he broke through with them, Yan Liang and Wen Chou would follow, and then it would be difficult to shake them off.

"Kill all of Sun Jian's other soldiers, take no prisoners!!!" Enraged, Yuan Shao no longer showed any mercy.

In the past, they were a leader of the alliance and a vanguard general, cooperating happily and working together. Now, they have become bitter enemies, swearing a blood feud! (End of Chapter)
