Chapter 464: Li Xiuning's Trials
The sudden turn of events caught Liu Heita's army off guard. Everyone looked towards the outer perimeter of the battlefield, wondering when a legion had sneaked up.
The tens of thousands of imperial troops were in high spirits. The leading generals each had their own characteristics. Among them, a red-faced man carried a green dragon blade and looked extremely imposing. His murderous aura was undisguised, and the Guan-character flag behind him fluttered in the wind, making people tremble with fear.
Besides the red-faced giant, there was also a white-robed general, armed with a silver spear and silver armor, exuding an imposing aura, with a horse-shaped banner behind him.
"who!"
"Where did this army come from?!"
Liu Jun appeared confused, but when Chen Futu appeared riding Red Hare and the Great Xia Dragon Banner fluttered in the wind, the world fell silent.
Upon seeing Chen Futu, Li Xiuning, who was surrounded, couldn't help but feel her eyes redden. "Your Majesty, I have disappointed you."
As originally planned, the tribulation of life and death was a personal matter, and she was supposed to break through to the Martial King realm at the very least. Now that she hadn't achieved her goal, the Great Xia army pressed forward.
Chen Futu's eyes gleamed with golden light, and his imperial aura overwhelmed the battlefield, making him seem completely unlike an ordinary person.
Liu Heita asked in astonishment, "Sir, who exactly are you? Do you intend to be my enemy?"
"I am the Great Sage Emperor, and today I have come to grant you death!"
As soon as Chen Futu finished speaking, an arrow flew through the air. Liu Heita hurriedly raised his knife to block it, but the arrow pierced through the blade and stopped an inch from his face.
It was Qin Liangyu who made the move, but Liu Heita's cultivation was a bit too high. With the system upgrading the world level, he actually reached the Martial Emperor level.
"There are still enemies! Quickly engage them!"
Liu Heita shouted, and suddenly a rain of arrows poured down, killing countless people instantly.
The White-Clad Soldiers fired several volleys, taking countless lives, and then the war broke out in full force.
"It's finally my turn, Dian Wei!"
"Gan Ning, the splendid sailor, is here!"
"Trapped Camp, follow me and kill!"
"Brothers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, don't fall behind! If you perform well, you'll be rewarded when we get back!"
The various legions charged into battle, and the battlefield was divided in an instant.
Dian Wei wielded his twin halberds, creating afterimages as if slicing melons and vegetables, leaving nothing unscathed in his wake.
Guan Yu and Ma Chao charged towards Liu Heita together. The generals rushed forward upon seeing this, only to be chopped into pieces by Ma Chao's spear. Guan Yu's blade swept across, cleaving both man and horse in two.
Such a battle seemed like a battle between gods and demons to Liu Jun, and the uninvited guests were even more terrifying than the fierce generals under Li Er's command.
Chen Futu rode into battle. Li Xiuning, clutching her chest, raised her blood-stained face and bitterly called out, "Your Majesty." Chen Futu touched her face and then handed her some medicine. "Can you still fight?"
"can!"
Li Xiuning is a resilient woman. She fears no one if the forces are equal. Now that the Holy Emperor has arrived, she can fight with peace of mind.
And so, Chen Futu personally stayed by her side, watching her fight.
After recovering from some of her injuries, Li Xiuning continued to charge into battle with her sword. The remaining female soldiers under her command were protected by the female army brought by Chen Futu.
The battlefield was quickly reaped; facing the divine soldiers who had descended from the sky, Liu Jun was no match at all.
Some of Liu's soldiers wanted to surrender but it was no use; they were executed on the spot.
In this trial world, killing won't have any impact. Today's training is a good opportunity for the new recruits to see blood and be properly tempered.
"Hold on, hold on!"
Liu Heita shouted and yelled in the army formation, but it was no use no matter how hard he shouted. The signs of Liu's army's defeat became more and more obvious, and the generals were not at all on the same level. The young general in white robes and the man with double halberds went crazy and killed like crazy, as if they were treating the place as a vegetable market. With each shot and each halberd, none of Liu's generals could withstand a single blow.
"Damn it! Retreat!"
When Liu Heita realized he couldn't win, he considered retreating. However, Qin Liangyu suddenly shot an arrow that nearly killed him. If he hadn't reacted in time and dodged to the side, it wouldn't have been his ear that was pierced, but his head.
"You can't escape, White-Spear Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy."
Qin Liangyu led her troops in a charge, and the specially made white-pole soldiers had very long weapons. From a distance, Liu's soldiers fell like wheat, and the harvesting speed was extremely fast.
"Liu Heita, where do you think you're going!"
Accompanied by Chen Futu, Li Xiuning brazenly cut off Liu Heita's retreat.
Now Liu Jun has no way to retreat. Zhang Liang arranged for his troops to intercept and surround him in advance, forming an iron barrel around the outer battle zone and rapidly compressing the battlefield.
"Li Xiuning, I didn't expect you to have a backup plan!"
Liu Heita glared and roared.
Li Xiuning was too lazy to waste words, so she picked up her knife and started slashing. She needed to cut off Liu Heita's head before taking another step forward.
Chen Futu also noticed that as she continued to fight, her true energy was increasing at an extremely high speed. No wonder the system called it a life-or-death tribulation. As long as she did not repeat the mistakes of history and did not die, her strength would increase as she continued to fight.
In other words, the more you kill, the faster you level up.
Chen Futu resisted the urge to attack Liu Heita; this head had to be given to Li Xiuning.
"You will be my rival!"
Liu Heita's cultivation level is at the early stage of Martial Emperor, while Li Xiuning is only one step away from breaking through to Martial King. Normally, Liu Heita's improvement is due to the arrival of Chen Futu and his army. He is actually Chen Futu's opponent, a Holy Emperor.
Li Xiuning also realized the rules for increasing strength. She first tried her best to defend and needed to continue to use the rules to accumulate true energy. Only by breaking through to the Martial King level would she have a chance to kill Liu Heita.
"Damn woman, I'll kill you!"
Seeing Chen Futu stand by and watch, Liu Heita was enraged. How much did they look down on him? His attacks became increasingly fierce and violent. Seeing that Li Xiuning was gradually unable to withstand the attacks, he laughed loudly, "I'll send you on your way!"
This strike, imbued with the aura of a Martial Emperor, pressed down relentlessly, unstoppable.
Chen Futu narrowed his eyes, and the golden dragon seal phantom slammed down on Liu Heita's head. Liu Heita was caught off guard and was left dizzy. Li Xiuning seized the opportunity and slashed.
With a soft thud, the blade pierced Liu Heita's neck. The latter winced in pain, desperately gripping the blade to prevent it from going any further. "This is outrageous!"
This was a doubles attack by the husband and wife. Chen Futu was just fooling him. Whenever he tried to kill him, he would suddenly strike him.
"Liu Heita, obediently become my Aning's experience pack."
"You two bastards!"
Liu Heita wanted to retaliate against Li Xiuning, but it was too late. Li Xiuning's strength suddenly advanced to the Martial King level, and her aura surged dramatically.
"A breakthrough in the heat of battle? Impossible! I don't believe it!"
"Don't believe me? Then try it. Your Majesty, this time don't interfere. I want to use him as a whetstone."
Li Xiuning abruptly withdrew her long sword, the blade tearing a long trail of blood from Liu Heita's neck like a saw.
The system's condensed personality possesses the ability to conduct cross-border operations. Although Li Xiuning's talent is not as great as Guan Yu and others, dealing with a seriously injured Liu Heita is no longer a problem.
The battles that followed saw a back-and-forth exchange. Initially, Li Xiuning was able to confront Liu Heita head-on, but as time went on, her strength became more and more stable, and even rose again, reaching the mid-stage of the Martial King realm.
