All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 23 Another Elimination King
After eliminating Li Tiangang, the remaining 1,250 troops became much easier to deal with: without Zhao Yun's "seven entries and seven exits" skill to lead them, the army would be like lambs to the slaughter if they were trapped in the Bagua Formation.

The various minor leaders led their troops to break through the encirclement, but they couldn't find a way out at all.

Sandstorms raged, and people were everywhere.

What you fear most is what will happen.

Heavy infantry encountered blunt weapon infantry, cavalry encountered tripwires, shield infantry encountered chariots, spearmen encountered archers...

In less than half an hour, some died and others surrendered.

There was no power left to resist.

At this point, the "middle gate" of the feudal lords' camp was opened, connecting it with Xiong'er Mountain, allowing for both advance and retreat, and the previous precarious situation was no longer possible.

On the other hand, Lü Bu was caught in a dilemma, unable to attend to both ends.

"Soldiers, charge! Take back the outer wall of the camp!"

Yuan Shao, holding his sword high, actually led the charge, taking the lead on the front lines.

Seeing him charge, the feudal lords were no longer afraid, and the soldiers and generals were greatly encouraged. Despite having fewer troops than Lü Bu, they managed to drive Lü Bu's army into a series of defeats.

This truly surprised Chu Xiu.

Upon reflection, despite the contrast in the original novel where Yuan Shao is portrayed as an incompetent and foolish person, he still lost to Cao Cao despite having such a significant advantage, as if he were completely clueless about the game.

In reality, when Dong Zhuo wreaked havoc in the palace, he was the one who shouted, "My sword has never been dull."

In the original story, after the "Three Heroes Battle Lü Bu", he also decisively sent troops.

It did not diminish the aura of the leader of the feudal lords in the slightest!

"In this game of the heavens, the heavens come first, and the game comes later. Although players have advantages that natives cannot match, they must never underestimate any native, otherwise they might be caught off guard and capsize!"

Which of those who became feudal lords wasn't a local hero?
In the original work, being defeated by top overlords and top strategists and generals is like "a world champion beating a runner-up," making the runner-up seem like a complete idiot, and that I could do it too. But in reality, it's not like that at all.

"kill!"

On Lü Bu's side, a counterattack was also organized: Gao Shun led the Trapped Camp and charged straight up, blocking Yuan Shao's charge and forcing them to only be able to recapture the main camp, but unable to advance any further.

Zhang Liao even led his cavalry in a flanking maneuver and nearly killed Yuan Shao.

The match was extremely close.

"You traitor who has served three masters, your grandpa Zhang Fei has arrived!"

Meanwhile, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led a thousand men straight to Lü Bu, intending to behead him. With the help of Guo Liang's talent, Zhang Fei's strength increased significantly, and he naturally became more arrogant than ever before.

He believed he could kill Lü Bu.

Even knowing that Lü Bu had his generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao supporting him, he still charged forward.

The result was not as good as he had imagined: even though his strength had increased significantly and he should have been more valiant than Lü Bu, after actually fighting him, Zhang Fei found that he could only barely hold his own against Lü Bu, and was even still at a disadvantage!

Yes, even after being strengthened and having his attributes greatly improved, Zhang Fei still couldn't defeat Lü Bu.

Battles between military generals are not just about standing still and fighting, nor are they simply about comparing stats. They also involve martial arts skills, horsemanship, and archery.

Yes, even shooting techniques are included.

While it is criticized to use hidden arrows to harm others, in a duel between generals, it is considered an "open arrow," a fair and square duel!
In the original story, when the two fought, Lü Bu, whose strength was unmatched, disdained to use any tricks.

It's like a "technical player" who's playing the "numerical" game.

They were basically fighting Zhang Fei head-on.

Therefore, Zhang Fei didn't seem to be any worse than Lü Bu.

But now Zhang Fei's strength has increased to the point that he can threaten Lü Bu, so Lü Bu is going all out, using all his tactics and positioning.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about the "surprise attack"!

The ultimate skill of Xiang Yu, the King of Chu.

It involves a feigned retreat after a fierce charge, followed by a decisive counterattack.

It can also be used with a halberd.

In the original story, Zhang Fei could force Lü Bu to retreat? What a joke! If Lü Bu had to back down, it would have been a sign of his incompetence!

And now, he's using it.

Although he failed to kill Zhang Fei with his first strike, he did wound him. Then, while maneuvering and pulling, he took a halberd in one hand and a bow and arrow in the other, mounted his horse on one leg, and shot arrows with his leg.

It was all done in one go; if it weren't for Guan Yu's support, it might have cost Zhang Fei his life.

"That Lü Bu is not human!" Zhang Fei exclaimed. He dared not curse him again as a traitor who had served three masters!
"Go together!"

At Liu Bei's command, the three brothers charged at Lü Bu at the same time, but instead of "three heroes fighting Lü Bu," it became "three heroes against three heroes," with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun joining the battle.

In this three-on-three situation, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had no advantage whatsoever.

Both of them were top-notch warriors, the best of the best. Perhaps their martial arts skills were not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but they were still able to hold their own. Even with their powers enhanced, they would not be able to kill them easily.

On Liu Bei's side, things even became more difficult.

He was skilled in foot combat, but lacked the strength in mounted combat.

"If this continues, things will get complicated!"

But just then, several purple "beams of light" moved over from the side of the feudal lords. Immediately afterwards, three "Lu Bu", one "Guan Yu", and two "Zhao Yun", a group of six, charged over.

They formed groups of three and led their troops in a charge.

They severed the ties between Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

The players inside Hulao Pass, despite not being far from Lu Bu, did not approach him, simply because Chu Xiu, who had taken the middle gate, was not far behind them.

One person intimidated dozens of players in the Hulao Pass camp!

Make them afraid to come forward!
Li Tiangang is no ordinary person. Not only does he come from the "Guild of Kings," but he is also the "top scorer in the college entrance examination" in the eastern region of the main world. Under the special curriculum system of Blue Star, he is roughly equivalent to a "player with maxed-out basic skills."

Even before he entered the game, he was stronger than most people after they had a template!

Many players know him.

Yet, this very person was utterly powerless against Chu Xiu, completely suppressed. This was compounded by the deaths of Hua Xiong and his three subordinates, as well as the end of the "King of Elimination."

In the eyes of players, Chu Xiu is as unfathomable as Zhuge Liang!
So who exactly was Zhuge Liang?

The "Three Kingdoms" instance has been opened countless times, and players from Blue Star have been coming to the instance one after another, but so far, the number of times they have killed Zhuge Liang is zero!

Yes, to this day, Zhuge Liang has never been killed!

Even a young Zhuge Liang!
He is widely recognized as the biggest boss in the Three Kingdoms dungeon, bar none!

Now, Chu Xiu is like another Zhuge Liang!

Is the situation spiraling out of control?

Seeing Lü Bu facing off against Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei alone—and these were the enhanced versions of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei—Lü Shengnan, who was hiding in the crowd, showed a worried expression.

Guo Liang was also wondering whether he should cut off the blessing and remind Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei not to kill Lü Bu.

However, the world is never short of surprises: just as they were worrying, a player who wielded the "Green Dragon Crescent Blade," but rode a white horse, wore purple-gold armor, and carried a longbow on his back stepped forward.

From afar, they fired three arrows in quick succession, actually forcing Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to retreat.

He immediately led hundreds of his followers and rushed into the battlefield with lightning speed, wielding his broadsword and beheading the "Guan Yu" of the feudal lords' camp with a single blow.

He then feigned a retreat, luring his teammates into pursuit.

He then used his broadsword to execute a "counterattack," ending the life of another player with a single strike. Following that, he used "Awe-inspiring Might," controlling the spirit of the deceased Guan Yu, creating a misalignment that allowed his strike to land on another player.

They took the opportunity to reap another harvest.

He then fled swiftly without hesitation, and after escaping about a hundred paces, he drew his longbow again and fired three arrows in quick succession.

With the help of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, the remaining three players were sent away on the spot.

One set of operations runs smoothly.

The next moment, a system notification sounded: A new elimination king has emerged among the players, with 6 players eliminated so far!

"Only the weak need to 'add points' to learn skills. The strong can simply use the 'Guan Yu' template with the highest attack power and learn skills like shooting the halberd at the gate and charging on a white horse. They have the longest reach and the highest mobility!"

The player stood firmly in the center, as if a god had descended to earth, his words exuding divine power.

But just then, he turned to look at Chu Xiu not far away, and nearly fell off his warhorse. He then turned around and ran towards the desolate Xiong'er Mountain.

He ran while shouting.

"Brother, spare my life! If I survive to second place, I'll 'self-destruct'!"

Chu Xiu: "???"

The players: "???"

The warlords, Lü Bu, and Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who had just finished their battle and arrived: "???"
