...

Originally, he was far inferior to him in terms of raw strength, but now, with the help of a Holy Spirit weapon, he is able to gain the upper hand in battle, and even his fighting style and fighting momentum have changed.

This unusual change made Platius somewhat doubt the true effectiveness of the Holy Spirit Weapon.

Is it that people have taken over the weapons, or that the weapons have taken over the people?
It was clear that the opponent's preferred weapon was a spear, not this strange and unusual weapon, but the momentum, attack power, and skill with which he wielded this weapon were unprecedented.

Even during the fight, Sulinarari did not display such special skills and momentum.

"Is this all the strength you have? Is your opponent too weak, or have I become stronger?" Ma Chao (Lu Bu) looked at Platius, whom he had defeated, and a question arose in his mind.

In Lu Bu's own judgment, Platius was an extremely powerful expert, even one who had solidified his boundary-breaking stance. To be able to achieve this level of strength meant that he was at least a master on par with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

However, the fighting prowess displayed by the opponent seemed to be significantly inferior to that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Surely he can't defeat a master of Guan Yu's caliber just by having a divine will clone and a weapon?

As for borrowing Ma Chao's body, Lü Bu didn't see it as a problem at all.

By using a physical body, one can accelerate the absorption and release of the essence of heaven and earth, strengthen the control and mastery of this essence, and thus make the output more powerful and effective.

Even so, based on the current power substitution, Lu Bu estimated that if his main body came to this place, he could probably fight three or four opponents of this level.

As for now, he will use Ma Chao's help to defeat the opponent decisively, so that he won't need to send his main body from afar to provide support.

"Being mocked? It's been so many years, I haven't heard such words in ages." For Platius, truly beginning to take his opponent seriously, to challenge him as a strong, unparalleled powerhouse, was an incredibly exhilarating experience.

How can one have the desire to climb a mountain if they cannot see its splendor?
How can one calmly climb to the summit if they cannot see the height of the mountain?
Just as Platius was confronting his own conscience and preparing to fight with all his might, a signal from the Roman camp forced him to retreat.

When faced with Platius's retreat, Ma Chao (Lu Bu) did not stop him, but let him leave.

At least looking at the other people flying in the sky, Ma Chao (Lu Bu) didn't feel that he would lack opponents.

What Ma Chao (Lu Bu) didn't expect was that Platius's retreat also caused the other people standing in the air to retreat as well.

"They're running away already?" Ma Chao (Lu Bu), who felt like he had just warmed up and was preparing to have the other party attack him, looked at the retreat with some doubt in his voice.

With so many experts, don't you have any confidence at all?

Watching his opponent leave, Ma Chao (Lu Bu) pondered for a moment before finally relinquishing control of his body to Ma Chao and returning with his halberd. Having not initially chosen to resist, Ma Chao, upon regaining control of his body, reflected on the events of the battle, diligently memorizing the combat techniques and immersive combat experience.

After confirming that there would be no fighting today, the carriage slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone.

Upon seeing Ma Chao fall, Farssasan, the commander of the Parthian army, immediately celebrated and praised him, saying, "General Ma is so young yet so wise and brave, managing to defeat the Roman demigods one after another. He is truly extraordinary. I will certainly report this to His Majesty and bestow upon the general even greater rewards and honors."

Ma Chao was already very strong, and Farssasan showed him the respect he deserved.

However, Farssasan never imagined that Ma Chao was so strong, so powerful that even the Roman demigods were helpless against him, and even seemed to hesitate to challenge him.

As for the halberd that appeared in the sky, Farssasan could not understand its meaning, nor was he aware of the existence of holy weapons, and naturally did not know how excellent this weapon was.

Moreover, the users of weapons are ultimately human, so Farssasan's view of Ma Chao can be described as mind-blowing.

"It wasn't me who repelled Rome; the real one was someone else. It wasn't my achievement, so how can I attribute it to them?" Ma Chao knew very well that he hadn't done it, so he didn't accept the task.

Upon hearing this, most people in the Han Empire understood the general idea and the reason behind it. However, the people on Parthia's side looked at each other blankly, completely unable to comprehend the meaning behind Ma Chao's words.

If it wasn't Ma Chao who fought it, then who was the person they were looking at for so long?
There was no third party present at the scene.

Among the many Parthians, there were naturally some experts. Even if these experts who had separated their internal energy from their bodies couldn't understand or comprehend the power of those who had broken through to the next level, they certainly wouldn't be unable to count the number of people present.

"Since General Ma insists, I won't say anything more." Sensing the determination in Ma Chao's words, Farssasan finally agreed to Ma Chao's request, because the cost of doing so would indeed be much smaller.

However, the necessary preparations will still be made; it's just to provide a better way for both sides to move forward.

Meanwhile, Platius, who had received orders to retreat, led his men back to camp and looked at Emperor Severus with considerable confusion, completely baffled as to what had happened.

“I didn’t see any human information in the other party, and that special ability doesn’t seem like a holy weapon; it’s more like an ability that the other party possesses.” Before Severus could speak, Perennis, who was standing to the side, summarized the current situation directly: “The other party is very strong. In a one-on-one fight, we might not be a match for them, so we have to find another way.”

“We have a large number of people, so a direct attack is not out of the question, but…” Sakalali turned to look at Letas, his tone somewhat incongruous.

For a master to think about how to gang up on an enemy is truly shameful for a martial artist.

In particular, among the crowd present, there were indeed people who upheld the code of chivalry. Although it was unclear how much of this adherence was genuine and how much was fake, on the surface, they did appear very similar.

For those who uphold the code of chivalry, ganging up on others is something they should avoid if possible. (End of Chapter)
