Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

The battle between Sun Ce and Ma Chao continues to escalate.

Especially after the two realized that Zhao Yun and the others had arrived, they had even less to worry about.

After all, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's strength is undeniable; even if they risked their lives, they would still be stopped.

"Lie down!"

The lightning burst forth with extreme power and ferocious light, showing no intention of sparring whatsoever, but rather a relentless, deadly attack that blasted Sun Ce into the rocks with a single spear thrust.

"It seems, Sun Bofu, that you're even weaker!"

Ma Chao, his hair and beard crackling with lightning, stood in the sky, his face full of mockery towards Sun Ce, making no attempt to hide his arrogance.

"Ma Mengqi, you'd better die!"

Sun Ce roared as he charged out of the dust, launching a ruthless and fatal attack on Ma Chao. The sun's brilliance burst forth at that moment.

However, Ma Chao destroyed Sun Ce's all-out attack with an even more ferocious thunderbolt, directly slamming Sun Ce back into the earth.

"Wow, Ma Mengqi is improving very quickly!"

Huang Zhong could see clearly that Sun Ce's attack was more expansive, while Ma Chao's attack was more extreme.

Ma Chao's attack utilizes the form of lightning, concentrating all his explosive power on a single point, resulting in astonishing destructive force.

In contrast, Sun Ce's attacks are powerful and have a vast range, allowing him to maximize the advantages of breaking through boundaries with both divine power and qi.

It's not a matter of which approach is better or worse; it's simply a matter of their different focuses.

However, when the two competed on the same stage, Sun Ce was completely overwhelmed by Ma Chao.

By focusing on one point to break through the whole, Sun Ce had no chance to fight back. If it weren't for the fact that Sun Ce was stronger than Ma Chao in terms of raw strength, he would have been completely defeated by now.

Simply put, Sun Ce's abilities are not suited for one-on-one combat. On the battlefield, he mostly plays the role of a pillar of strength, a central general who single-handedly carries the morale and momentum of the entire army, which is also a reflection of Sun Ce's talent as a ruler.

Ma Chao's abilities are best suited for one-on-one combat. On the battlefield, he is adept at capturing enemy generals and flags, and can break through opponents in the shortest amount of time.

"Sun Bofu, I'm very disappointed. You're too weak!"

The disappointment in Ma Chao's voice made Sun Ce realize that Ma Chao wasn't mocking him, but was genuinely disappointed.

"I thought you would be my destined rival, but now it seems you're only at the level of the Xiahou brothers. Perhaps I should go find Taishi Ci!"

"Ma Mengqi! I'm going to beat you to death today!"

Sun Ce completely abandoned everything Zhou Yu had taught him, such as sitting in the central army, and roared as he leaped up like a tiger.

Shedding all constraints and shackles, in just an instant, his spirit and energy had reached their peak. The rising sun was swallowed by Sun Ce, and he was completely different.

After a loud bang, Sun Ce's attack sounded noticeably different. One moment he was thousands of meters away from Ma Chao, and the next he was right in front of Ma Chao.

This eerie feeling is like a frame being removed from the film, directly causing a change in position.

At the same time, the spear in his hand had become almost circular, and he blasted it towards Ma Chao in front of him with explosive force. He abandoned all manners and momentum, and used everything he had to unleash an even more ferocious power.

The eruption, resembling a solar flare, was completely unexpected by Ma Chao.

If Sun Ce was on par with Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, and others just now, then Sun Ce is now truly on par with Ma Chao.

Sun Ce's outburst surprised Ma Chao; his fierce power slammed down with lightning speed, leaving ordinary people no time to react.

But Ma Chao, who had already merged with the thunder, not only reacted, but also concentrated his own energy and spirit, and unleashed an even more rapid burst of power towards Sun Ce.

It's a clash of titans, neither willing to back down an inch, neither able nor wanting to retreat.

A deafening roar exploded between heaven and earth, and its terrifying power began to destroy everything around it. Even high in the sky, the aftershocks were lifting the ground layer by layer.

"Break it for me!"

Ma Chao roared and gathered his lightning into a single point, then thrust out a peak spear strike. There were no unnecessary frills; it was the purest straight thrust, with his essence, energy, and spirit completely fused into one point, unleashing all his power to deliver a strike that surpassed the limits.

"Break!" Sun Ce roared and charged at Ma Chao.

Point of spear against point of spear, in that instant, the golden radiance of the sun and the blue radiance of lightning collided violently like a comet hitting the earth. The terrifying force directly shattered everything around them, and the sweeping shockwave could even be felt in the venue thousands of miles away.

"Hahaha! Good! Sun Bofu! That's it! That's exactly how it should be!"

Ma Chao coughed up blood, but he was incredibly excited. He felt that he was improving, and this was the worthy opponent he had been seeking.

Sun Ce remained silent, forcefully suppressing the surging blood in his chest, his eyes burning with even greater fighting spirit.

"Aren't you going to stop them? These two are really fighting!"

Huang Zhong squinted as he watched the two fighting. Their moves were becoming increasingly terrifying, as if they were mortal enemies.

Especially that exchange of blows just now, even he frowned a little when he saw it. If he could have stopped the two of them before, he would have been injured if he had gone up to take that blow.

Sun Ce and Ma Chao truly entered the first tier.

Even if Huang Zhong is considered to be in the top tier of the top tier, second only to Zhao Dian and Guan Yu, it would still be extremely difficult for him to defeat Sun Ce and Ma Chao.

"Young people are so energetic and work so hard."

Looking at the two men covered in wounds, Qin Qiong said with a hint of admiration, "They've already risked their lives."

"Yes, if we fight like this, one of them is bound to fall today!" Zhao Yun sighed.

If it weren't for the fact that the two men's auras were constantly rising, he would have really wanted to take them down as soon as possible.

But now, as the two continue to push their limits in battle, it has become somewhat difficult for Zhao Yun to make a move.

We can't stop the two of them from improving their skills, can we? Getting injured now is better than losing your life on the battlefield.

The battle between Ma Chao and Sun Ce is becoming increasingly intense, and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are ready to intervene and separate the two.

"boom!"

In another all-out clash, the weapons in both men's hands broke during the intense confrontation.

Even the most exquisitely nurtured divine weapon could not withstand such an extreme battle between two people.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two dropped their weapons and lunged at each other.

Without any attempt to dodge, the two began to fight fiercely, and one of them was bound to fall today.

"Prepare to take them down; they're already at their last gasp!"

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice, "Ma Chao and Sun Ce are just barely holding on. You can tell from the fact that they can't even protect their weapons that they've almost reached their limit."

"Gentlemen, let me do it. I have quite a bit of experience in this area!" Qin Qiong volunteered.

Zhao Yun was taken aback, then he understood what Qin Qiong was about to do.

Their meeting and exchange this time was naturally aimed at showcasing their respective strengths and technologies, thereby promoting in-depth exchanges.

That's why Qin Qiong was so eager to take action, to let Zhao Yun witness the second stage of the Divine Invocation Technique, and also to let Xinghan understand the power of this technology. "Hey!"

Qin Qiong stepped forward, wielding his double maces, and shouted loudly.

A colossal deity appeared behind him, but Zhao Yun was slightly taken aback because he sensed that this colossal deity was not an illusion, but a real entity.

"town!"

As the giant maces slammed down, an immense force pressed down on Ma Chao and Sun Ce. In an instant, the two, who were fighting desperately, were forced to the ground unconscious by an invisible force.

"Excellent skill!" Zhao Yun swiftly retrieved the two men, and after confirming that neither of them was unharmed, he praised Qin Qiong.

Although it was only to deal with two exhausted opponents, what Qin Qiong showed was what really caught his attention.

"This is the Divine Power Dharma Form, a product forged by combining divine concepts with cloud energy techniques. It is connected to the mind of its holder and can be used under the influence of clouds!"

Qin Qiong knew that the purpose of the demonstration had been achieved, and introduced it with a smile.

Zhao Yun instantly understood that this was a follow-up study of the method of summoning gods.

Just listening to Qin Qiong's description, the two felt a surge of excitement in their hearts.

If this thing can really be used under clouds, it will undoubtedly bring generals, who were originally just super soldiers on the battlefield, back to being factors that influence the battlefield.

On a massive battlefield, the role of a general is similar to that of a catapult, primarily used to suppress the morale of the enemy, boost the morale of one's own side, and carry out the orders of the commander.

The effectiveness of being able to take on a thousand men in small-scale battles has begun to diminish significantly.

But if they had this divine power and divine form by their side, they would once again become great on the battlefield.

The principle behind this is very clear: it is the Dharma form.

Basically, all the strong generals have already learned this technique.

Examples like Sun Ce swallowing the sun and Ma Chao merging with the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth are actually flexible applications of the Dharma form.

The Divine Power Dharma Image is like carrying a Dharma Image that has been pre-charged with energy. Even if the cloud energy suppresses it, they can still enhance the power they can exert through the Dharma Image.

Even if it's just a portion of their complete strength, it's enough for them to make a difference on the battlefield.

"Brother Qin, would you be so kind as to offer your guidance?"

Zhao Yun became interested. Both of them had come with missions, and since Qin Qiong was willing to demonstrate, he wanted to personally test its quality.

Let's see if this so-called divine and powerful appearance is really as sinister as Qin Qiong described.

"Please!" Qin Qiong understood Zhao Yun's meaning.

The two flew into the sky, greeted each other, and then began to spar.

Zhao Yun immediately used his internal energy technique, wanting to see what the difference was between the two.

The hundred-foot-tall blue-silver giant swung his spear and slammed it towards Qin Qiong and the divine image behind him.

Gunshots flashed, but were blocked one by one by the double maces.

Zhao Yun also keenly realized that this divine manifestation was not as simple as Qin Qiong had described.

If the concept of rules they possess is one, then the concept of rules that Qin Qiong and Shenwei Faxiang possess together is two, or even greater than two.

Last time, when the group of experts from the Great Tang Dynasty came to spar, none of them brought the Divine Might Dharma Image. Firstly, bringing this thing is no different from leading an army, and without the support of the legion's cloud energy, it is impossible for it to be full of energy.

This other thing can be considered a trump card of the Tang Dynasty's technology and methods. If it were to be exposed casually, it would not be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

"Seven Probes of the Coiled Dragon Spear!"

The spear's shadow transformed into a silver dragon, circling around Qin Qiong.

Before mastering the rules of speed, Zhao Yun was already very fast. Now that he has mastered some of the rules of speed, even Qin Qiong is finding it difficult to withstand Zhao Yun's rapid attacks.

No matter how fast Zhao Yun was, the double maces in his Divine Might Dharma Form could block all attacks and set up a net around him.

Zhao Yun continuously assessed the power of the Divine Might Dharma Image and came to a fair conclusion.

It really works; it can directly restore a general's dominance on the battlefield.

The only question is how much of this stuff can actually be preserved under clouds.

But Qin Qiong would naturally not leak such confidential data.

In trading, making money is all about information asymmetry.

After exchanging blows, the two sides stopped fighting.

They weren't martial arts fanatics; getting the information they wanted was enough for them, so naturally they were heading home now.

Zhao Yun told Zhuge Liang all the information about the Divine Might Dharma Image.

"Thank you for making this trip!" Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun had the same judgment: the Tang Dynasty was using the tactic of hoarding rare goods to try and make them pay an even greater price.

This is what is meant by bargaining.

Both parties listed the basic technical information of the transaction in a table.

What interested the Tang Dynasty was the Kushan people's conception of gods and Buddhas, the Roman eagle banner, the complete framework of the Decathlon and the Illusionary Warrior, and various kinds of crops made from the essence of heaven and earth.

Xinghan, on the other hand, was naturally interested in the Divine Might Dharma Image, as well as various crops made from the essence of heaven and earth in the Tang Dynasty.

The two sides bargained for a long time, each holding their own cards.

All kinds of crops made with the essence of heaven and earth are progressing smoothly; we can simply exchange them on an equal footing based on their effects.

These things are not meant to be eaten, but rather we are trying to cultivate them by introducing the essence of heaven and earth to see if we can achieve mass production.

After all, the more kinds of crops that are made from the essence of heaven and earth, the more internal energy can be cultivated to form a powerful aura or to leave the body.

Xinghan holds an absolute advantage in this regard, having directly exchanged a single branch of Xunmu for thirteen kinds of crops imbued with the essence of heaven and earth.

Of course, there is only Xunmu itself, without the built-in Huang Tianji clone.

Huang Tianji is one of the most important pillars of Xinghan, and Xunmu is just a vessel for her, so it's fine to give her away in exchange.

At most, it can be cultivated as a crop that embodies the essence of heaven and earth. After all, the leaves of the Xunmu tree can directly replenish vitality, making it an excellent choice for both prolonging life and curing diseases.

The two sides argued for three days and three nights about the exchange of various technologies, fully exchanging their opinions, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement.

Both sides seized upon every technological loophole and disadvantage to aggressively drive down prices, each seeking to maximize their profits.

Both sides knew the deal was going to happen, so neither was worried about it falling apart.

The real leaders on both sides were never involved from the start; it was all just lower-level officials exchanging barbs. (End of Chapter)
