Chapter 1005 War in the Mist

The fact that his opponent was a legendary figure greatly excited Bai Qi.

He had slain Donghuang Taiyi and Yunzhongjun, mythical figures from the Chu region, but this was truly the first time he had slain Chiyou, the legendary war god.

Even Bai Qi felt a long-lost excitement, an unprecedented excitement.

Han Xin clamored to take his place, but how could Bai Qi give up that position? After mercilessly beating Han Xin to the ground and locking him up, Bai Qi wiped his sword, his eyes filled with determination.

Although it was a war in which no one would die, Bai Qi felt the tension and excitement of the pre-battle period for the first time in a long time.

Bai Qi enjoyed this feeling, yet he also restrained it.

For him, this was a rather novel experience.

The last time I felt this way was probably when I fought Han Xin without holding back.

Now, in this small world, there's no need to consider soldier casualties, nor are there any restrictions from the rear.

What remains is simply the purest stage.

This is the perfect stage for Bai Qi.

The moment the ceremony took place.

Bai Qi raised his sword high, quickly connecting with the will of the army that appeared around him, and then created a domain of will under his control.

The radiant light of will constantly shone on the army, coalescing into a thick barrier.

"kill!"

Although he couldn't see anything but a fog, Bai Qi's intuition told him that his opponent was in the fog.

The moment the world barrier burst open, a destructive brilliance flashed across Bai Qi's sword. The previously invisible essence of heaven and earth was forcibly gathered by his will, and the cloud of the army began to surge and increase rapidly.

"Die!"

Bai Qi raised his sword high, entwining the will of the assembled army with the cloud of energy within them, directly creating a gigantic sword of light that hurtled towards the mist.

The moment the massive lightsaber fell, countless attacks launched counterattacks, but the lightsaber crushed all the attacks and resolutely continued its assault on the enemy.

But the moment the lightsaber fell, Bai Qi's expression suddenly changed.

"not good!"

Although he couldn't see anything, Bai Qi sensed the danger immediately. He planted his sword in front of him, and the light of his will instantly began to shrink.

In the next instant, a huge battle axe cleaved down. The clash between wills caused the heavens and earth to turn white, and the pale light swept in all directions.

The military formation began to deform, and the will began to construct a secret technique. Under the intervention of the will, Bai Qi almost instantly built a defense to isolate the space. However, even this defense with multiple structures was almost directly cut down.

Fortunately, with Bai Qi's full coordination, they managed to withstand the attack from the ancient war god.

"Shooting Battalion!" Bai Qi decisively issued the order to attack.

The omnipresent fog obscured everything; he couldn't see any information or even sense any enemies.

But Bai Qi's intuition told him where the enemy was and roughly what size the enemy was.

As for the enemy's troops, there's no need to guess; they must be the Misty Eight Banners that were running around everywhere before.

A dense barrage of arrows, carrying the intense will of the Shooting Sound Battalion, rained down on the unseen enemy. After a series of screams, the white light ceased.

Even though I can't see you, as long as I hold onto the belief that it will hit its mark, this arrow will keep chasing me until I die, until that belief fades away.

At the same time, Bai Qi adjusted the composition of his will, swung his lightsaber again, and forcefully stirred up a gale, completely dispersing the mist.

"Without the Wind Master and Rain Master, this mist is too weak!" Chi You, hidden in the mist, sighed.

The complete version of the fog can block will and sight, giving Chi You's side a unilateral advantage in vision. Until it is broken, no one can fight against it.

But now, not only has its power diminished, but Bai Qi has also dispelled most of it in this way, which makes Chi You quite sigh.

Everything was a constant reminder to him that this was no longer his era.

Realizing that individual power could no longer overcome everything, Chi You chose to fight with a large army. However, the information generated by the Jiuli was too slow, so he could only choose to use the Eight Banners of Mist to fight.

However, even if the fog dissipates, it's only the beginning.

Even if we start on a level playing field, Chi You is still the ruler of the Nine Li.

The Mist Banners relentlessly assaulted Bai Qi's formation with the force of a raging storm, their attacks so fierce that Bai Qi was on edge.

He had never imagined that Chi You's command and control would be so terrifying, and that there would be no delay in the enemy's command. Although the soldiers of the Eight Banners in the mist had nothing special about them, their omnipotent attributes allowed them to perfectly execute any order.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Bai Qi's forehead.

He felt like a small boat in a raging storm, only able to maintain balance by having the army's will to alter reality.

"This is bad! Is the situation really that bad?"

Han Xin, who had been causing a ruckus in the rear, also put away his hooligan behavior and watched the battle between Bai Qi and Chi You with a solemn expression.

"This reaction speed is simply inhuman..." Han Xin's expression grew increasingly solemn.

They realized where the problem lay.

The strength of Chi You, and the relationship between the mist and Chi You.

Chi You's ability to break through three boundaries allows him to process information much faster than Bai Qi, forcing Bai Qi to anticipate his movements to keep up with Chi You's speed.

What's even more deadly is that while the soldiers have time to react and execute Bai Qi's orders, the Mist Army doesn't hesitate at all; they execute the orders immediately upon receiving them.

Of course, these are still within Bai Qi's manageable range.

What's most deadly is the precision of Chi You's micro-management; he could manage dozens or even hundreds of command lines with hundreds of people, something Han Xin and Bai Qi could also do.

The problem is that Chi You is currently demonstrating the ability to control three thousand command lines simultaneously, which is equivalent to controlling three hundred thousand people to perform micro-operations at the same time, and with zero latency.

Even with a combination of factors, this is still a rather alarming situation.

Bai Qi was also overwhelmed by this sudden surge in command intensity.

What made Han Xin, Sun Wu, and others look most uneasy was that they all noticed that Chi You's command and dispatch speed was increasing.

He was learning Bai Qi's command and dispatch skills and began to grow rapidly.

"Three heads and six arms... Can these three heads really think separately?"

After a long while, Han Xin found the reason for such an exaggerated statement in Chi You.

The biggest reason is that Chi You has three heads, which is equivalent to three war gods joining forces, and they are three war gods who are in sync and have perfect understanding.

At first, Chi You was a bit rusty, perhaps because he hadn't practiced in a long time, so he kept adjusting.

Furthermore, he saw something new in Bai Qi, directly learning and copying it, and merging it with his own knowledge to create something entirely new.

Chi You was making progress almost every moment, and the magnitude of his progress put Bai Qi under immense pressure.

At Bai Qi's level, even the slightest improvement is considered a major leap forward; he almost always focused on identifying and addressing weaknesses. Strictly speaking, Chi You's level was lower than Bai Qi's.

But Chi You's progress was incredibly rapid, even tripling in speed.

"Flying Bear Army, press forward!"

Under immense pressure, Bai Qi had no choice but to send out the Flying Bear Army to alleviate the pressure.

He needed to adjust his mindset, otherwise he felt he would definitely be crushed by Chi You.

After Flying Bear appeared, the situation instantly reversed.

Chi You tried to overwhelm the Flying Bear Army with sheer numbers, but to no avail. The Flying Bears were like stinking, hard rocks in a latrine, stuck on the front line, showing no signs of moving.

This made Chi You feel very troubled, and then Chi You, as usual, stepped in.

With the transformed Jiuli warriors in tow, Chi You immediately entered the fray.

The moment Chi You left the battlefield, Li Jue and Guo Si charged straight at him with Fei Xiong.

"Hahaha, let me meet this legendary Lord of War!" Li Jue laughed and spurred his warhorse toward Chi You.

boom!
A dull thud resounded, and to Li Jue's incredulous gaze, Chi You stopped his charge with both hands, no matter how he tried to manipulate gravity.

As the battle axe fell, the Flying Bear Army's proud defenses shattered instantly, and Li Jue was cut in two on the spot.

"Zhi Ran!" Guo Si's eyes reddened, and he led his guards to rush towards Chi You, but he met the same fate.

While individual combat strength may have no future, on a battlefield filled with clouds and mist, one is at most a super soldier. But even among super soldiers, Chi You is an absolutely violent existence.

Chi You, leading the Jiuli warriors, was like a killing machine.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the Flying Bear Army led by Li Jue and Guo Si were killed in action.

Two thousand Flying Bear soldiers were wiped out by Chi You.

"The Miracle Legion..."

Looking at the few dozen Jiuli warriors left around him, Chi You felt a sense of loss for the first time.

He personally led a thousand Jiuli warriors against Li Jue and Guo Si's two thousand Flying Bear Army, and the result was a draw.

Seeing the brutal battle, almost everyone's expression changed.

Miracles happen to people, and even they can die in battle.

Everyone knows this.

But those casualties usually only occur when dealing with multiple three-talented opponents, or even when surrounded by countless soldiers.

This is the first time that the Miracle Legion, despite unleashing its full power, has been crushed head-on by a smaller force.

All the officers and generals who were paying attention to the battle knew that the Jiuli warriors behind Chi You were as tall as the sky.

What's truly terrifying is Chi You. Even the most miraculous soldiers are like chicks in front of him; not a single one of them can even leave a scratch on him. He's stronger than a human.

Or rather, Chi You himself seems to have no connection with humans at this moment.

In an instant, Han Xin had some long-forgotten memories awakened.

Xiang Yu cut them down in the same way, as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

"This isn't right, is it?" Jia Xu frowned.

"We've seen the Three Realms Breakthrough before. Back then, the Martial Saint Guan Yu also broke through the Three Realms, but we never saw him this terrifying!"

"Either the opponent is on home ground and has extra advantages, or the opponent is special and the cloud energy cannot completely suppress his strength!" Lu Bu, who was watching the battle, said slowly.

He had a similar experience, as if he had borrowed the spirit of the vanguard or the miraculous transformation of the Imperial Guards, which allowed him to briefly break through the clouds.

The opponent is formed from fragments of a sacred hymn, which may allow them to evade the suppression of the cloud energy to some extent.

Xiang Yu, Lü Bu, Zhang Fei, and other warmongers couldn't wait to rush in and fight Chi You for three hundred rounds.

However, Huang Zhong's previous crushing defeat made them all clearly realize that Chi You was definitely an extremely strong opponent.

"The sacrifice was worthwhile. Lord Wu'an has reorganized the army and begun to turn the tide!"

Sun Wu, who was paying close attention to the battlefield situation, spoke up.

Different people focus on different things. Lü Bu and his group were focused on Chi You's abnormal behavior, while Sun Tzu was more concerned with command and control.

"When Chi You went to battle, the command and control of the army showed a significant decline!" Han Xin also immediately pointed out his discovery.

Even if Chi You could multitask, once he entered the battlefield, he couldn't oversee the entire situation like a general, so it was normal for his command and coordination to decline.

"Ahhhhhh!!!! Get us inside quickly!!!"

Li Jue angrily grabbed the technicians by the collar and demanded that they send him in using a counter-summoning ritual.

"I'm sorry, General Li, each use takes time, and I suggest you rest for a day before entering, otherwise it may have an impact!"

Although the technician was nearly fainting from being shaken by Li Que, he still explained the situation to Li Que.

"Li Jue! Take a day off first!"

Mu Yi's voice reached Li Jue's ears.

"I will obey your orders!"

Li Que quickly released the technician and bowed his head in response.

In the small world.

Bai Qi and Chi You were still passionately battling it out when Chi You withdrew from the battlefield, increasing Bai Qi's pressure once again.

The advantage that they had managed to regain during Chi You's period of weakened command was snatched back again.

Bai Qi became increasingly alarmed as the enemy turned the tables and began to use the same encirclement and annihilation tactics he had employed to encircle and annihilate him.

This cannot be explained by mere imitation, as if the other person had truly learned everything from him, including his habits and style.

Bai Qi recalled some of the methods Sun Tzu and Han Xin had used against him, and decisively replicated them. As expected, Chi You fell into the trap, making the same mistake that Bai Qi had made when they first met.

Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Qi launched a fierce attack, shattering Chi You's left flank, and then began to encircle Chi You.

The two sides went back and forth, but no matter how many unexpected tricks Bai Qi came up with, he used all the losses he had suffered against Chi You.

It was still difficult to stop the balance of power on the battlefield from tilting continuously towards Chi You. Even Bai Qi noticed that, apart from the Jiuli warriors, none of the Mist Eight Banners showed any signs of rebirth.

In other words, Chi You did not intend to deal with him by using infinite resurrection, but rather to respond to his attacks in a fair manner.

Bai Qi's blood was boiling. He hadn't encountered an opponent like this in a long time, one that was worth risking all his pride for.

This may not be a fair war, but it is definitely a war that Bai Qi wants to win.
