Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 952 A Battle of All Effort
The minor incident did not interfere with the battle in the arena.
Everyone was fighting tooth and nail for the chance to participate.
Of course, these are all minor incidents compared to what can be seen from the perspective of the spectators.
Most internal energy cannot resist breaking through boundaries when it leaves the body, even under clouds.
After all, even without the cloud aura, top-tier generals are far stronger than second-rate generals.
"Why are there so many unfamiliar faces!" Xu Huang looked at the experts who had broken through realms on the other side of the stands and asked with some confusion.
It's one thing for internal energy to leave the body so often, after all, times have changed and many people have benefited from the times and advanced to the level of internal energy leaving the body. But the problem is that the level of breaking through boundaries shouldn't be so rampant.
"Those over there are demon experts from Africa. They used illusion to transform into human form. I've seen them before!" Huang Zhong casually explained.
"Nearly twelve? Is it really that extreme in Africa?"
Xu Huang counted the numbers and felt a bit of pressure. His strength wasn't particularly outstanding, and he didn't want to be eliminated in the first round, which would be too embarrassing.
"What's that white-haired guy's name? He seems a bit troublesome!" Xu Chu asked curiously, feeling a considerable sense of pressure emanating from him.
"That big guy is called Zhu Yan, and that monkey that looks like an old man is the real culprit!" Huang Zhong glanced around and gave the others a brief explanation of what he had seen in Africa.
"And these over here? From the Kushan Empire?"
Ma Chao looked to the other side and saw a rather young general who exuded an aura that made him feel a little uneasy.
"Yes, that blindfolded boy over there, and that one lying down, are both rising stars of the Kushan Empire. After the abolition of the caste system, a new group of experts has emerged among the people, and they have a high degree of identification with the Star Han!"
"Gentlemen, we meet again!"
Su, dressed in a white robe, led Roman experts over to greet Lü Bu and his men.
Lu Bu, unusually, raised his hand in greeting, as did Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and others.
They had all witnessed Su's strength, especially during the battle against the insect plague, where he displayed a level of power that was enough to firmly place him among the top five in the Star River.
"Rome has quite a few experts too!"
After Su and the others left, Huang Zhong stared at Su's retreating figure with a somewhat solemn expression. To be honest, he wasn't sure if he could defeat Su.
He had heard about the other party's abilities; although it sounded absurd, it was the truth.
“Oh~”
A cheer erupted from the crowd, drawing everyone's attention.
"Li Jue versus Gao Shun!"
Everyone was taken aback, never expecting that Li Jue and Gao Shun would actually infiltrate the battle between those who separated their inner energy from their bodies.
However, upon closer examination, they did indeed have their internal energy separated from their bodies, but like Zhang Fei, they were among the few who could fight against those who broke through the barrier.
Now, Li Jue and Gao Shun have actually faced off, making the onlookers quite excited.
"I never expected that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would have another chance to compete!"
Li Jue stared at Gao Shun, a hint of excitement on his face, and couldn't help but recall the grudges between their Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry back then.
If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's own skill and the large number of Xiliang cavalry, he would have been easily defeated by Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun.
Although they were now considered family, their rivalry never ceased.
In the past, with Lü Bu at the forefront, they really had no good way to deal with him.
However, Li Jue is still very excited about the one-on-one match.
"Gongzheng would actually participate in such a martial arts competition?" Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao with some surprise.
"That is indeed somewhat unusual!"
Zhang Liao was also puzzled. Although they had a good relationship, he really didn't know the reason this time.
Gao Shun's participation in the competition was completely unexpected.
"Li Zhiran has the ability to perform miracles, and Gao Gongzheng has the fighting spirit to charge into battle. When they fight, it will be a fierce battle."
"But I remember Li Zhiran can still use the Flying Bear Army Spirit, right?"
As the one most familiar with the Xiliang cavalry, Ma Chao slowly asked Hua Xiong, who was standing beside him.
"Yes, before I was reincarnated, Zhiran himself served as the acting commander of Feixiong's legion!" Hua Xiong said, glancing at Guan Yu and subconsciously touching his neck.
Even after all this time, he still inexplicably feels a psychological shadow whenever he sees Guan Yu.
"Don't worry, Gongzheng has long been able to achieve individual miracles, and the wolf riders are interconnected!" Zhang Liao waved his hand.
Li Jue and Gao Shun were truly evenly matched in the real sense.
"Hehehe, Gao Gongzheng, let me see your strength!"
Li Jue gripped his spear tightly, spurred his horse, and charged straight at Gao Shun. He couldn't wait to have a life-or-death battle with Gao Shun.
Gao Shun's expression was solemn. Although he was not a master of breaking through the barrier, he was, after all, someone close to Lü Bu. He might not be good at other things, but he had excellent eyesight. Having seen Lü Bu's actions many times, he could naturally see some things.
Li Jue's aggressive approach made him a formidable opponent.
Gao Shun spurred his warhorse forward, gripping his spear tightly. The two horses clashed, sparks flying, and neither gained the upper hand.
"Hehehe, this kind of attack really can't deal with you!" Li Jue turned his horse around and looked back at Gao Shun.
A desperate charge is not difficult for either side; courage and experience are equally matched.
Seeing that their charge was ineffective, the two turned their horses and fought in a single battle.
Li Jue brandished his spear, each move ruthless, aiming to inflict injury on the enemy. This was the consistent fighting style of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, as their defensive capabilities were one of their greatest strengths in conquering the world.
Gao Shun easily deflected Li Jue's attack with his spear, then countered with a thrust at Li Jue. Li Jue threw away the spear and drew his heavy broadsword, slashing it in half.
"Wow, that's gravity distortion? What an ingenious maneuver!" Ma Chao exclaimed.
With the Flying Bear as his goal, he knows everything about the Flying Bear, and Li Jue's control over gravity has reached a level of perfection.
At the moment of the chop, the weight of the knife is multiplied several times, and combined with skillful chopping, the power of the chop is amplified countless times.
With a single strike, it severed Gao Shunwen's spear, which seemed to possess a psychological attack effect as well.
Gao Shun also drew his ring-pommel sword and began to fight Li Jue. Having learned his lesson from the previous defeat, Gao Shun mastered how to deal with Li Jue.
Li Jue's attacks were characterized by their ferocity and power, while Gao Shun, trained by Lü Bu and with the skills of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, consciously blocked and deflected the attacks, making it difficult for Li Jue to gain any advantage.
"Clang!" Another attack passed by. Li Jue was a little annoyed. His years of accumulated battlefield experience were completely useless against Gao Shun.
The other party will not be alarmed by his any aura or choice, and will respond calmly like a piece of cold steel.
When Li Jue was wielding his light and heavy swords, Gao Shun seized the opportunity and slashed him in the chest. If Li Jue hadn't been strong in defense, Gao Shun would have disemboweled him.
Their instincts awakened during the battle.
Gradually, it descended into a life-or-death struggle. "Drink!"
Li Jue bravely parried Gao Shun's attack, then counterattacked, knocking Gao Shun off his horse and wrestling him on the ground.
Even when Li Jue dragged him to the ground, Gao Shun did not waver in the slightest and fought fiercely with Li Jue.
The scene of the two fighting was too disturbing, so Hua Xiong and Zhang Liao exchanged a glance and immediately separated them.
After being separated, the two were somewhat embarrassed and lost the will to continue their fight, deciding to have a showdown to determine a winner.
"A single move will decide the outcome!"
Following Lü Bu's example, Gao Shun poured all his inner energy and mental focus into the weapon in his hand, intending to decide the outcome in one move.
"it is good!"
Li Jue readily agreed, and similarly channeled his mind and spirit into his internal energy, unleashing a strike that combined essence, energy, and spirit!
Xinghan's martial arts techniques are all public knowledge. Although Gao Shun learned them from Lü Bu, what Li Jue learned was not a fake.
The two charged at each other, their bodies radiating a miraculous light. Li Jue's broadsword, imbued with a twisted gravity, slashed down at Gao Shun with no attempt at concealment, delivering a single, decisive strike.
Gao Shun's broadsword also slashed at Li Jue with a simple strike, carrying even more surging internal energy. Both of them abandoned complicated moves and used basic moves to see who was better!
However, they all used the power of their own military spirit while performing basic moves.
"Thump!" The impact of their collision shattered the ground beneath their feet.
Gao Shun used his ultimate move to forcibly upgrade to the Breaking Boundary level, gaining a slight advantage with his superior power.
At the same time, Li Jue's forward slashing motion with his broadsword turned into a fatal blow. The gravitational distortion of the blade gave it the momentum to cut Gao Shun in two.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Shun went from having a slight advantage to being about to be split in two.
But Gao Shun showed no panic whatsoever.
Without any thought, Gao Shun's internal energy surged forth, yet he felt nothing at all.
He raised the knife in his hand at an extremely fast speed, and then slashed it out a second time from an extreme distance.
"Boom!"
A dull thud sounded, and a powerful force surged back onto Li Que, causing his internal organs to tremble violently.
Even so, Li Jue did not loosen his grip on the broadsword, and instead slashed forward with even greater ferocity.
At this moment, Li Jue and Gao Shun unleashed their fighting instincts honed over a decade, risking the honor of their iron cavalry and wolf cavalry to determine who was superior.
The immense impact and the surge of internal energy caused Li Jue's entire body to erupt with blood mist, but the knife in his hand remained as steady as Mount Tai as he continued to slash down.
With a fierce strike, Gao Shun's inner energy armor was shattered, and a gruesome wound, deep enough to expose bone, suddenly appeared on his chest, causing a blood bar to burst open.
Neither Li Jue nor Gao Shun had managed to kill the other, so at this point they were completely disregarding everything else and only focused on the race for life and death.
Gao Shun lunged at Li Que, dropping his broadsword and punching Li Que's chest with his fist, which was imbued with internal energy.
"Crack!" The sound of a chest collapsing rang out simultaneously with the sound of a body being severed.
Both sides will perish in the process, suffering heavy losses.
The brutal battle moved everyone present.
However, the next second, as if time had reversed, the two of them returned to their original state.
"Unfortunately, it seems that the thrill of life and death is not enough to break through the barrier!" Li Jue and Gao Shun both said with some bitterness.
Because there was a chance to break through the life-or-death situation, unfortunately, there was always a backup plan, and they were unable to go all out.
They could all sense the threshold, but they just couldn't cross it.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao also understood why Gao Shun hadn't told them about the competition; it turned out to be preparation for breaking the barrier.
"What a pity, all our efforts were in vain!"
Lu Bu sighed, knowing that this attempt was unlikely to succeed.
Back when he was stuck at the extreme point of internal energy leaving his body, he tried various ways to become stronger, but in the end he let go of his obsession, broke free from his fate, and found everything back on the Bingzhou grasslands.
Although the difficulty has decreased, those who lack the necessary aptitude can only break through through life-or-death battles.
It's just like the battle between Hua Xiong and Pan Feng back then. Whoever wins can break through, but the price is the life of another person.
But to make Gao Shun and Li Jue fight to the death in reality, isn't that a joke? Both of them are key officers, and it would be ridiculous for them to die for promotion and breaking through barriers.
For both of them, breaking boundaries is merely icing on the cake, and not important at all.
Although both of them were quite determined, breaking through boundaries is not something that can be solved by mere determination.
After witnessing the bloody battle between Gao Shun and Li Jue, a large number of people who had given up their internal energy left their bodies.
After witnessing the true power of those who fought to the death, they all realized that their previous ideas had been too naive.
Many people know their own limitations and choose to give up directly. The gap is too big; you can understand it just by looking at them.
With their current strength, they are simply not qualified to fight against Li Jue or Gao Shun.
However, this also aroused the competitive spirit of many people, who launched challenges against Li Jue and Gao Shun.
But the result is clear: very few people can exchange a hundred blows with either of them.
Li Jue and Gao Shun were, after all, top-level military officers active on the front lines of the war, and core members at that.
Compared to the vast majority of officers and colonels, this is already at the pinnacle level.
However, there were still unexpected events.
"Accepted!"
An expert from a small world, possessing the ultimate internal energy, defeated Li Jue in one fell swoop. Even though Li Jue had used his miraculous abilities, he still couldn't win.
"This kid's got some interesting skills!" Ma Chao stroked his chin; he was really itching to get his hands on him.
Being able to defeat Li Jue means that his combat strength has completely entered the ranks of those who break through realms.
"It seems to be the same path you've taken, Third Brother. Should we go and teach him a thing or two?" Guan Yu said with a smile, stroking his beard.
"Not even close, and I'm not in the right state to fight right now!" Zhang Fei shook his head.
Although it does have some resemblance to his three paths combined, it's still far inferior to his previous work, let alone his current state.
"Please enlighten me, everyone!" The young man who had defeated Li Jue issued a challenge to the crowd on the stage.
However, no one was angry. The other party had defeated Li Jue and was indeed qualified to challenge them.
"I'll play with you!"
A ferocious glint appeared on Hua Xiong's face. He thought, "You want to climb to power by stepping on the Xiliang cavalry? Let him test your qualifications!" (End of Chapter)
