Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

As the smoke cleared, Zhang Fei and the others flew back into the air.

At this moment, the figure of the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General had vanished without a trace.

"I never expected to actually get the answer!" Guan Yu sighed.

No one expected that this Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General would actually feint and run away. The seemingly terrifying attack only had a huge coverage area, but its actual power was pitifully weak.

They were all thrown away by the second wave of impact that followed immediately afterward.

The other party's goal was to take this opportunity to distance themselves from them.

They were all intimidated by the bluff of the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General, but if any one of them had been tough enough to fight back, they could have exposed the other's lies.

However, their victory over Lü Bu stirred their emotions so much that they didn't even consider the possibility that the enemy might flee in defeat.

"Second Brother, is it still possible to catch up?" Zhang Fei's expression was a little unpleasant.

They were really embarrassed that they let the other side get away just because they gave in for a moment.

"No rush. I can roughly sense the other party's location. They haven't completely left this place yet."

"Once everyone arrives, we'll chase after him together. This time, we absolutely cannot let him get away."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said calmly, "My strike just now left an indelible mark of will on the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General."

The other party will definitely not be able to erase that mark in a short time.

They still have a chance to capture the other party alive while they have this opportunity.

"I just grabbed a celestial soldier on a whim. Come and take a look, what exactly is this thing?"

Huang Zhong flew over carrying a celestial soldier. The soldier's time was frozen by Huang Zhong, so he neither disappeared nor was he retrieved.

"A pure energy construct, but different from ordinary illusion soldiers...it just looks somewhat familiar..."

"I remember now, isn't this the form in which the Heroic Spirits of Valhalla existed back then! That large umbrella is marked with marks, and it possesses the power to move the world to construct the Heroic Spirits!"

Lu Bu examined the situation of the heavenly soldiers and instantly found the corresponding scenario in his mind.

Not only the Hall of Heroes, but also some forces in the Netherworld operate on the same principle. Lu Bu had some understanding of these forces, which is why he saw through the true nature of the Heavenly Soldiers at this moment.

"So, our primary target should be the umbrella in his hand?"

"The umbrella should just be an extension of will, but once destroyed, it should be able to limit the opponent's endurance."

The crowd discussed amongst themselves, and they managed to guess the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General's moves pretty accurately.

After obtaining the intelligence, the group quickly devised a method to capture the enemy alive.

Lu Bu listened silently to the discussion, then suddenly spoke.

"I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I'm a little concerned about the formation the opponent used when they summoned the heavenly soldiers!"

"It should be a formation modified from the Big Dipper, and it seems to be slightly different from military formations!"

"Essentially, it's all about borrowing the power of heaven and earth, just in different ways. I'll sever his connection with heaven and earth in a bit, then you can all rush in and capture him alive!" Guan Yu said slowly.

His previous strike was aimed at killing, but this time he adjusted his direction and directly severed the connection between the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General and the outside world.

For Guan Yu, the difficulty would be even lower, since he only needed to cut off a certain period of time.

"Let's go, they've stopped. Let's catch them off guard!"

On the other side, General Nine Heavens Killing Child looked at the fragments he had collected and swallowed them all at once.

These fragments are too fragmented to even have much of a chance of being pieced together into a divine artifact, let alone awaken the hymn itself.

If he had enough time, he could have considered collecting them slowly, but now that he's in trouble and even injured himself, he can only use the most wasteful method: absorbing these fragments as if they were elixirs.

"Humans are getting stronger and stronger these days. I never imagined that there would be so much trouble in such a random world!"

General Nine Heavens Child Killer was somewhat troubled. His purpose in coming here was to collect the scattered fragments of the sacred song.

Emperor Ziwei, through Ziwei Doushu (a Chinese astrological system), predicted that a sacred song was awakening here. He was sent here for two purposes: first, to determine who had awakened, and second, to collect fragments of the sacred song, which would come in handy in the future, whether for trading or for refining divine artifacts and elixirs.

But at this point, he couldn't care less about anything else.

A group of experts attacked him together, which really caused him a lot of trouble. The shattering of his Dharma body also caused him to suffer backlash, but he just didn't show it.

"Without the cooperation of the heavenly soldiers, my killing move is still too weak!" General Nine Heavens Killing Child touched his chest, still feeling lingering fear as if his Dharma form had been shattered by Guan Yu's sword.

His ultimate move, the complete form of the 360,000 Heavenly Soldiers Diagram, requires merging with 360,000 real heavenly soldiers to unleash its true power.

However, it is really not suitable to carry 360,000 heavenly soldiers with you.

If he brings too much of a target, a large army will inevitably surround and attack him, and for him, an army is a very high threat.

"Something is really wrong here, I have to leave immediately!"

As he spoke, the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General looked at the strand of golden thread left in his hand.

"This trip wasn't in vain. We've figured out who has awakened. I wonder if the Great Emperor can use this to deduce the future!"

"Sigh, we were too late after all. Otherwise, we should have been able to get more clues!"

General Nine Heavens Child Slayer was somewhat disappointed; he couldn't stay here any longer.

Just then, the forehead of the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General suddenly began to burn, and his expression changed drastically.

"Oops!"

The Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General immediately activated his divine power and looked into the distance, where he indeed spotted Guan Yu and the others.

Guan Yu turned his head and stared directly into the other man's eyes across the space, a flash of clear light passing through his eyes.

In the next instant, the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General had already lost sight of him.

Guan Yu cut off the channel through which the observer was being watched.

"Are you being followed?"

The Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General immediately examined his entire body and discovered the problem: the wounds on his damaged Dharma form contained remnants of the will of the Feather God.

This is both a constraint restricting the restoration of the Dharma form and a signal used to track him.

"This is troublesome!"

General Nine Heavens Killing Child's expression changed continuously. If it weren't for the magical restriction left to him by the Purple Emperor, he might not have even noticed when Guan Yu and the others came looking for him.

After he discovered them, he could clearly sense that Guan Yu and his men were approaching.

Prior to this, the other party must have completely eliminated the possibility of being discovered.

Fortunately, the Ziwei Emperor's Ziwei Doushu (a system of divination and numerology) dispersed this severed fate, otherwise he would have been dead today.

He was able to escape just now because Guan Yu and the others were unfamiliar with him and did not know what abilities he possessed.

But things are different now. Guan Yu and his men have pushed themselves to their limits and have also obtained intelligence about them.

If it were a one-on-one fight, that would be fine, but the other side clearly intended to gang up on him, so General Nine Heavens Killing Child couldn't sit still any longer.

But he knew very well that if he ran away now, he would only face death. "This time I've suffered a huge loss!"

With a pained expression, General Nine Heavens Killing Child took out his Dharma form, shattered it, and extracted all the power from it.

Then the large umbrella was planted in the ground, and all the power was poured into it.

"The Thirty-Six Directions Heavenly Soldiers Diagram!"

Countless celestial soldiers emerged from the giant umbrella, forming a formation centered around the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General. Circle after circle of celestial soldiers occupied most of the sky, creating a spherical military formation, with the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General at the center, connecting the entire formation.

The auras of all the heavenly soldiers merged into one, radiating an astonishing power.

Even from a great distance, Guan Yu and the others could already sense this aura.

When Guan Yu and the others arrived, the Nine Heavens Killing Child General had already completed his formation. Compared to the previous 360,000 heavenly soldiers, this time the number had doubled to a full 720,000.

This is why it has exceeded the control of the Nine Heavens Killing Child General. It can only form a death formation, hoping to make Guan Yu and the others back down.

"Go!"

The halberd, thousands of feet long, traversed space and landed directly on the spherical military formation. Lu Bu, riding Red Hare, arrived first and, without hesitation, unleashed his most powerful attack at the Nine Heavens Killing Child General.

"boom!"

A massive mushroom cloud rose above the spherical army formation, but after a gentle breeze swept by and the smoke cleared, the spherical army formation stood unharmed in place.

"What an exquisite formation!"

Guan Yu carefully examined the spherical formation; it seemed his opponent was unleashing their true trump card.

"This formation aligns with the principles of heaven and earth, relying on spatial barriers for defense. It requires pure divine will to break through!"

"Third brother, prepare to join forces with me!"

After realizing that this was a deadly formation, Guan Yu, who was filled with astonishment, immediately revealed a cold smile.

The dead formation is indeed convenient, effectively lowering the barrier to entry for setting up formations.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious: if one or two command nodes are rendered useless, the effectiveness of the entire formation will be greatly reduced.

"Attack one point together, don't give the enemy a chance to repair it!"

Guan Yu let out a low shout and slashed out first, pointing the way for the others.

The blade struck the slowly rotating spherical magic circle and shattered inch by inch, but the area it attacked was covered by Guan Yu's divine will.

A clear, light shimmered on the spherical formation.

In everyone's perception, it is as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark.

Without hesitation, the group followed Guan Yu's command and focused all their forces on bombarding the marked area.

Taishi Ci, in particular, was like a ruthless army attack machine. After the dozens of internal energy attacks he unleashed were shattered, they would be attached to the second wave of internal energy attacks, just like an endless river constantly lapping against the shore.

The celestial soldiers, under constant bombardment, began to die in large numbers, but more celestial soldiers, under control, quickly came to reinforce the defense.

General Nine Heavens Killer dared not be negligent in the slightest, focusing almost all his attention on the spherical defense.

"Third Brother!" Guan Yu shouted, and his eighteen-foot spear and Green Dragon Crescent Blade attacked together. The green and black dragons circled back and forth, rushing directly towards the other side of the spherical defense, clearly intending to use a feint.

"I had expected this choice!"

Despite being in the middle of the formation, General Jiutian Shatong remained calm and directly sent his reserve heavenly soldiers to fill the area where Guan Yu was located.

"They've taken the bait!"

Guan Yu sneered. In matters of command, he was clearly superior to the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General.

He knew that the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General would make this choice because his threat was far greater than that of Lü Bu, and thus he forced out the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General's last trump card.

The Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General has just given his orders.

The chaotic situation on the main battlefield changed instantly.

"kill!"

Xiang Shaoyu, who emerged from the center of the crowd, completely revealed his true colors and stopped pretending after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had drawn out the last reserve force.

The Overlord Halberd slammed down towards the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General with terrifying force.

With only a moment's resistance, the protective heavenly soldiers on the outer side of the Nine Heavens Killing Child General were instantly shattered by Xiang Shaoyu's move.

The effectiveness of a spherical formation is immediately diminished.

"Not good!" General Nine Heavens Killing Child immediately understood Guan Yu's plan: to use the power of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to attract his attention, and then have the even stronger Xiang Shaoyu ruthlessly shatter the formation.

Without a formation, he would truly be a lamb to the slaughter.

"Take it!"

The Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General spun the large umbrella in his hand, and the spherical formation began to shrink rapidly. The gaps that Xiang Shaoyu had created were naturally filled in by this shrinkage.

"it's over!"

Guan Yu coldly swung his Green Dragon Crescent Blade; this was the moment he had been waiting for.

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade slashed down with what appeared to be a slow but actually swift motion.

The Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General was horrified to discover that, in that instant, he had lost contact with the heavenly soldiers.

"kill!"

Lu Bu, Xiang Shaoyu, Taishi Ci and others attacked almost simultaneously, and the originally invincible spherical formation was shattered in an instant.

While contraction may provide better defense, it also means losing the last chance for change and reinforcement.

"catch him!"

Lu Bu and Xiang Shaoyu rushed to the side of the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General at the same time, placing their hands on his body, one on each side.

"Get out of here!"

The Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General drew his sword and shield with his other two arms, ready to counterattack.

Huang Zhong had already released the bowstring, and the icy blue light struck the head of the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General directly.

The Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General's time was frozen for a moment.

In that instant, everyone was able to subdue the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General.

Several streams of internal energy poured into the body of the Nine Heavens Killing Child General, completely sealing off his power. Lu Bu even snatched the large umbrella from the Nine Heavens Killing Child General's hand and forcibly suppressed him with absolute divine will.

By the time the Nine Heavens Child-Slaying General resumed the flow of time, everything had already settled down.

"I...lost?"

General Nine Heavens Child Slayer's mind was in complete disbelief; he couldn't believe he'd been captured alive, without even a chance to self-destruct. (End of Chapter)
