Black clouds covered the sky and the sun, and in the ruins of Guangyang where the battlefield was located, there was darkness between heaven and earth.
Only the flash of swords and shadows that flickered from time to time illuminated the battlefield.
But in the sky of Kyushu outside the battlefield, the bright moon gradually turned into a coquettish blood-red color, looking particularly... scary.
System announcement: "The blood moon is in the sky, the demon star appears in the world, and a big demon is coming out of the north. All aspiring people can go and conquer it."
Conquest?
Wang Yiyuan spat and cursed in his heart.
What a waste of conquest!
It’s not the same as promised at all, is it?
We are obviously here to help Liu Yu defeat Gongsun Zan. Look at the splayed image in the sky that covers the sky and the sun - is this a task that humans can accomplish?
Zhang Jiao is suspended hundreds of feet high in the air, beyond the attack range of the player's arrows and spears;
But in Zhang Jiao's hands, he was constantly condensing karmic fire that destroyed the heaven and the earth. If he touched it, he would die, and if he rubbed it, he would die.
This is not a fair fight at all.
The speed at which Karma Fire falls is not very fast. If players observe carefully, they can easily avoid it.
But there were too many black shadows on the ground.
Just as Wang Yiyuan perceived, the combat effectiveness of the densely packed black shadows was very average. The only thing worthy of praise was that the huge number greatly reduced the players' hiding space.
If you are not careful, you will be squeezed into a blind corner by the black shadow, and then you will watch the black karma fire fall on your head, burning you to ashes.
The key is that no one dares to fight back.
At the beginning, there were not many black shadows. Players found out how weak they were as soon as they fought, and they suddenly became overpowered.
The players swarmed forward, and as a result, the black shadows turned into two, and two into four. The more they fought, the more they fought, and the stronger they became.
"Stop! Stop!"
Soon a sober player noticed something was wrong and started shouting to try to stop other people nearby.
But unfortunately, it has no effect.
Players who get into trouble are like the Titanic that is about to hit an iceberg. It cannot be stopped with just a few shouts.
Just like Wang Yiyuan's first contact with the black shadow, those soldiers continued to multiply, upgrade, multiply, and upgrade again. The pressure on the players increased, and they finally began to retreat.
At the critical moment, a voice finally sounded like thunder.
"Certainly!"
[Special skill: Immobilizing spell].
It was Xu Shu.
Both the players and the black shadows stood still for an instant.
"Don't get entangled with these monsters. These monsters can't be killed unless the spell is released." Xu Shu's voice clearly fell into the ears of the players under the transmission of the spell, "Save the people first and escort the people away!"
On the battlefield, there are not only players and NPC soldiers, but also the people who escaped from death in Guangyang.
Misfortunes are not as bad as those of innocent people.
The system prompts: "You have triggered a special plot [Great Retreat]. Please protect the people from the battlefield as much as possible until they die in battle."
This is the task of the players.
——————
On the battlefield, the only ones who could be considered resisting were the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
Zhang Jiao's Dharma image floated in the air, and the karma fire in his hand was like a torrential downpour, but 70% of it flew towards the three of them.
It's like a Gatling with blue and black fire.
In contrast, on the ground, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, the Zhangba Snake Spear, and the male and female double-stranded swords cooperated extremely well, constantly erupting various kinds of aura into the air, but they were all offset by the falling black karma fire.
.
Probably the opposite wave.
Well, to be more precise, it should be... a beating.
That's all the three of them can do.
Together Liu, Guan, and Zhang could defeat even Lu Bu, who was said to be invincible in the world, but they were still powerless against this monster that had escaped the realm of human beings.
He only has the ability to parry, not to fight back.
"Brother, what should I do?"
"...Hold on, at least until all the people have evacuated."
Liu Bei gritted his teeth.
This battle was frustrating.
Guangyang has been destroyed, and although the people in the city have been basically rescued, they are still not free from the threat of the sky fire.
Zhang Jiao is no longer the same Zhang Jiao as before.
He is a great demon who brings disaster to the world.
Liu Bei has used all his cards this time——
Bai Mayi's army was escorting the people in the city to evacuate, Xu Shu was leading the black shadow army of players and NPC soldiers, and the three of them tried their best to block Zhang Jiao's indiscriminate bombardment.
But looking at it this way...it still doesn't make sense.
Zhang Jiao's temperament changed drastically after he came back from the dead. The only thing that remained unchanged was his magical power.
Wherever the karmic fire that falls from the sky passes by, there is no one that can be combined. As long as it comes into contact, everything will turn into ashes.
On the ground, those black shadows were killing more and more, getting stronger and stronger, killing players and NPC soldiers until they were retreating.
The only thing left between heaven and earth was the wild laughter.
"I am the only one in heaven and on earth!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the black fire began to gather in the sky, but it condensed into a long black sword with an ominous aura and fell from the sky!
"not good!"
Liu Bei's expression changed drastically, and he raised the two swords in his hands high, and the weapons of the three brothers gathered together again.
"Two sworn brothers, lend me your strength!"
When the three weapons met, they turned into a silver sword that was tens of feet long. Liu Bei's face was ferocious, and he waved his hands hard and slashed at the black sword falling in the sky!
"The benevolent...are invincible!"
[Unparalleled Bonding Technique: The Sword of the Ren Emperor]!
"boom!"
The two destructive forces collided, and a huge shock wave swept across the entire battlefield. Even the black clouds in the sky burst apart, revealing the blood-red moonlight.
The sky collapsed.
Players and NPCs on the battlefield only felt an irresistible force sweeping past them. Many weaker players were even blown to the ground by this violent force.
The silver sword was shattered inch by inch, and most of the black sword was broken into pieces, but it just barely maintained its sword shape.
But Liu Bei no longer had the power to stop it.
He exhausted all his strength and half-knelt on the ground, panting heavily. He didn't even have the strength to move.
In the end, we still lost.
He turned his head and looked at the two sworn brothers beside him who were also exhausted.
"Second brother and third brother, it seems that today, you and I will die together."
"Brothers are with you, even if you die, there is nothing to fear!"
A true hero is never afraid to face death.
The black sword fell slowly, but the three of them all showed free and easy smiles, preparing to die generously.
"Hahaha, what a show of brotherly love!"
On the ground, there were two figures moving like the wind, but they picked up the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang from the ground, and instantly withdrew from the black sword's attack range.
"Brothers tiger and wolf, there is no disadvantage!"
At the same time, from outside the sky, a sharp arrow came with wind and thunder, and collided with the black sword, shattering it into pieces.
Battlefield announcement: "Yuan Shao's army joined the battlefield as reinforcements, and the morale of Liu Yu's army was greatly improved."
