44: Chapter 44 The gentleman is her war god

Zhuge Jinyu froze.

She felt her heart pounding wildly in her chest, almost as if it were about to break free from its confinement.

She opened her mouth, only to find that she could not make a sound.

She could only gaze at him infatuatedly, her vision instantly blurring with tears.

"Xiao Yu."

Su Chen spoke.

His voice, to her ears, was still as mellow, gentle, and pleasant as ever.

However, without the obstruction of the mirror, the ethereal quality that once seemed so elusive had vanished.

In its place was a magnetic tenderness.

He reached out his hand towards her.

In his hand was a fallen peach blossom.

Its shape was strikingly similar to the peach-blossom-shaped hairpin he had bought for her in the Great Qian capital that year.

"This time, Sir did not break his promise."

"Sir has come as promised to see you with his own face."

"Sir!"

Zhuge Jinyu could no longer hold back; she lifted her skirt and, like a fluttering butterfly, ran towards him recklessly.

She wanted to throw herself into that embrace she had longed for for ten years.

Over these ten years, she had fantasized countless times about how warm Sir's embrace would be.

If only he could hold her, just for a moment.

Even just once...

But now, Sir was appearing before her, alive and in the flesh.

It was like the most potent poison.

How could she possibly resist!

However, the moment her fingertips were about to brush against his clothes, the scene around her suddenly shifted.

Sir's body dissolved into a pile of peach petals, which fell to the ground.

The peach grove, the warm breeze, and the fragrance also vanished in an instant.

In their place was the grim, murderous battlefield of the Wuzhang Plains.

A gale howled, battle flags snapped in the wind, and the six hundred thousand iron cavalry of Great Wei were like a black tide, their murderous aura soaring to the heavens.

This was certainly no dream; it was the real-time footage of the Wuzhang Plains that Su Chen was broadcasting to her.

But Zhuge Jinyu did not know that.

She could only see Su Chen clad in golden armor, holding a long sword.

He was riding her white horse.

In Zhuge Jinyu's eyes, his flesh-and-blood form was infinitely magnified.

Although he stood before the lines, facing an army of six hundred thousand alone, he still appeared like a god descended from the heavens, his aura not losing out to the enemy in the slightest.

"Great Qian soldiers, heed my command!"

Su Chen's voice, like a booming bell, resonated across the battlefield in Zhuge Jinyu's dream.

It also echoed clearly in the minds of every Great Qian soldier waiting in battle array in reality.

"Form up!"

"Use Kan and Li as the axis, Dui and Zhen as the wings, Gen and Xun as the vanguard, and Qian and Kun as the defense!"

"Follow me—attack!"

In reality, the Great Qian soldiers, who had initially been somewhat panicked, heard Su Chen's crystal-clear instructions ring out in their minds simultaneously.

At the same time, an inexplicable power began to flood into their limbs and bones.

This was certainly not some mystical power; it was Su Chen beginning to manipulate their bodies.

Following the guidance of Su Chen's voice, they shifted formations rapidly, like robots.

A fierce, unparalleled battle intent rose from all forty thousand men simultaneously.

Although the total amount of battle intent was not as great as the enemy's, it was sharp enough!

Zhuge Jinyu watched with wide eyes.

Su Chen led the charge, his long sword pointing forward, his sword energy surging.

In an instant, it swept thousands of Great Wei soldiers into the sky.

"Follow the original plan; concentrate your strength to attack the third section on the left and the seventh section on the right!"

He seemed to have merged with the entire battle formation, and under his leadership, the four thousand remnants transformed into an unbreakable sharp sword.

It ruthlessly carved into the camp of the six hundred thousand Great Wei army.

Sima Yi, in the sky, was no fool either.

While astonished that Su Chen could immediately pinpoint the weaknesses in his army, he also began to command the Great Wei army to locate and attack the weaknesses of the Great Qian army.

But he soon discovered:

The Great Qian formation had no weaknesses!

The Great Qian army was like a sword already drawn from its sheath.

Every point was sharp enough to be fatal.

There were simply no flaws to be found!

Even worse, as the only powerhouse at the Mahayana Realm capable of existing in the lower realm, Sima Yi actually felt that he was being vaguely suppressed by Su Chen in terms of spiritual power and pressure!

The collision between the two sides was not as Zhuge Jinyu had imagined.

She had thought the Great Qian army would be routed immediately and collapse entirely.

She had also anticipated that a brutal stalemate might occur between the two sides.

But in reality,

under Su Chen's miraculous command and absolute power,

the seemingly sturdy formation of the Great Wei army disintegrated instantly, like snow melting in boiling water.

Wherever the sword light passed, men and horses were overturned, and blood flowed like a river.

The army of six hundred thousand was, in a short time, slaughtered and routed by the forty thousand, falling into complete disarray.

Sima Yi had originally wanted to command the officers at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realm and above to reorganize the formation.

But he was astonished to discover:

Su Chen, with his extremely powerful individual combat strength, charged into the formation alone.

At the Soul Formation and Fusion stages, he killed one with a single sword strike.

At the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages, he killed a whole swath with a single sword strike!

Those cultivators capable of commanding the army were being wiped out by Su Chen within a few breaths.

"A miracle!"

"This is simply... true battlefield art!"

"As expected of Sir!"

Zhuge Jinyu covered her cherry lips, watching with a fluttering heart and boiling blood.

She saw her Sir, like the invincible God of War from legends.

No, even more exaggerated than that legendary God of War.

For her, for Great Qian.

He swept across the army.

However, just as the Great Wei army was about to collapse completely,

a terrifying aura suddenly rose from above the enemy army.

A figure shrouded in black robes stepped through the air and arrived before Su Chen.

It was Sima Yi.

The pressure of the Mahayana Realm, like a physical mountain, pressed down ruthlessly towards Su Chen.

Sima Yi himself knew that he had to face Su Chen king-to-king and decide the outcome.

He could not continue to hide.

If he let Su Chen continue to command the Great Qian army and slaughter them like this, the one defeated at the Wuzhang Plains today would undoubtedly be him, Sima Yi!

"What are you, playing god and acting like a ghost? Show this Seat your true form!"

Sima Yi shouted sharply, and struck out with his palm.

Almost instantly, death energy, thick enough to be tangible, condensed around him.

Within it, there seemed to be a hint of the immutable laws of heaven and earth.

It sought to tear Su Chen's body to shreds!

"Hehehe... Is the only thing a mere Mahayana Realm powerhouse can rely on the laws of heaven and earth?"

Su Chen showed no fear.

His figure swelled once more, turning into the towering golden-armored giant familiar to Zhuge Jinyu.

"I am not a person from your world, so why should I fear the laws of heaven and earth of your world!"

"Furthermore... I was already set up by capital."

"Even if all the karma falls upon me, so what!"

The long sword in his hand burst forth with a light more dazzling and brilliant than the sun.

With one sword strike, he slashed towards Sima Yi.

"Boom—!!!"

As the two top existences in the fantasy world, they triggered the laws of heaven and earth again.

The energy fluctuations generated by the collision were incredibly intense.

The entire space trembled violently, and even the dream space where Zhuge Jinyu was located was no exception.

It was as if heaven and earth were about to shatter.
