Inside the main hall of the imperial city, Ling Yi sat atop the throne, his entire body shrouded in black mist.
Zhuge Liang stood below, hands behind his back, exuding elegance.
It has to be said, this guy is really handsome, both handsome and charismatic. If he were in modern times and debuted as a star, even if he didn't know anything else, he would definitely be a top star.
"Liang greets Ghost Lord Motian!"
" Zhuge Kongming, you have quite the nerve, daring to come alone to your death."
"For the sake of all living beings, I would have no regrets even if I were to die," Zhuge Liang declared loudly.
"Haha, for the sake of all living beings? None of you have the right to say that. If you wish to die for righteousness, I will grant your wish."
"Furthermore, I am the Motian, born of resentment, not some ghost lord. We, his subjects, are not Ghost, but merely a pitiful group of people."
"It is your years of war and slaughter that have led to their deaths; they are nothing but innocent souls who perished beneath your swords."
"As long as the world is not unified, war is inevitable. This is a historical inevitability that cannot be stopped," Zhuge Liang said helplessly.
"If possible, I also hope that there will be no more wars in the world, and that the people can live in peace and prosperity. My efforts are for this purpose."
"Well said. I, Motian, have annihilated all you feudal lords and become the ruler of this world. Naturally, there will be no more wars."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and chuckled, "You cannot be the ruler of this world. You exist because of war, and without war, you will not live long."
Ling Yi didn't speak, feigning shock, but a song came to mind. "I should play along with your act, pretending not to see."
Seeing that Ling Yi remained silent, Zhuge Liang continued, "One day, the Devil Master will disappear from this world, but there will only be two possible outcomes for the world."
Devil Master? You've given me another random name again?
"Firstly, the Devil Master becomes the so-called ruler of the world, and from then on, the world is filled with Ghost Soldier, with no living beings left. Since there are no living beings, there will naturally be no more wars, and the resentment of heaven and earth will slowly dissipate. At that time, the Devil Master will naturally die and his soul will vanish."
Zhuge Liang spoke eloquently.
"Secondly, we should take this opportunity to support a regional warlord, help him unify the world as soon as possible, and end the war. At that time, the Devil Master will retire with his merits Merit."
Good heavens, this is truly amazing! Zhuge Liang actually intended for him to be Liu Bei's pawn? He really knows how to talk!
"Furthermore, if Liang is not mistaken, the Devil Master should have some reservations, for example..."
Zhuge Liang pointed to the top of his head.
Ling Yi: I should play along and pretend I didn't see it... cough cough!
Ling Yi feigned a look of terror and glanced up at the sky, causing the black aura around him to swirl rapidly.
Then, seemingly realizing something, he became enraged and said, "I am Motian, how could I possibly fear anything? Don't spout nonsense."
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang's confident smile grew even stronger.
" Devil Master, since you cannot conquer this world, why not grant this wish to others?"
"Hmph, that Liu Big Ears is a hypocrite. You want me to help that sanctimonious scoundrel? How laughable."
Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "If a person can pretend to be benevolent and righteous for a lifetime, then the false will become the true!"
Ling Yi was stunned; he truly hadn't expected Zhuge Liang to utter such a statement.
It seems that Zhuge Liang was not unaware of Liu Bei's feigned benevolence, yet he still did his utmost to assist Liu Bei, clearly having seen through this.
The sword of benevolence and righteousness was both Liu Bei Liu Bei's sharpest weapon and a lifelong constraint. Once he picked up this sword, Liu Bei would be forced to act as a benevolent and righteous man for the rest of his life.
"Excellent eloquence, excellent calculation, and excellent courage!" Ling Yi clapped his hands and suddenly stood up.
"But I, Motian, refuse to accept this! I will become the ruler of this world! I will defy the heavens!"
As Ling Yi finished speaking, the black aura around him rose again, shooting straight to the top of the main hall.
"I will spare your life today. If you have the means, let's settle this on the battlefield. Tomorrow, I will unleash a million Devil Soldier and see how you resist."
"Don't worry, I won't take action myself; otherwise, I would be bullying you."
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Zhuge Liang felt an invisible force acting on him. After riding the Cloud Soaring and Mist Riding, they arrived at the riverbank.
"Such methods are truly..." Zhuge Liang came to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, Zhuge Liang then burst into laughter.
"Haha, you won't take action yourself? Devil Master, Devil Master, I'm afraid you don't dare to take action yourself."
Upon hearing that Zhuge Liang had returned, Cao Aman, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Liu Bei, and others immediately went out to greet him.
"Strategist, are you really so foolish? If anything happens to you, how can I live?" Liu Bei grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and said sadly.
Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "I apologize for the worry you and everyone else have caused; it was my fault."
Cao Aman, "Strategist Kongming, have you gained anything?"
"Alas, that Devil Master is insane and cannot be persuaded with words. Let's prepare for the final battle." Zhuge Liang said nothing more.
Everyone was shocked. The final battle tomorrow? That's way too soon!
"Furthermore, don't dig that canal. I saw it with my own eyes; those Ghost Soldier can walk on water as if it were flat ground. We can't rely on tricks in tomorrow's battle."
"Liang, I'm a little tired, excuse me!" After saying that, Zhuge Liang ignored everyone and turned to leave.
The crowd stared at Zhuge Liang's the Back, their eyes gleaming.
Clearly, Zhuge Liang was hiding something.
With the decisive battle imminent tomorrow, everyone disregarded everything else and immediately busied themselves with arrangements and deployments.
In the middle of the night, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sat facing each other in Zhuge Liang's tent.
"Strategist, can you tell who will win tomorrow's battle?"
"If we fight tomorrow, we will win miserably."
"This!"
"My lord, this is a quiver. You may examine it when the weather changes." Zhuge Liang took out a brocade pouch and handed it to Liu Bei.
The next morning, before dawn, countless Ghost Soldier had already disembarked from the island and landed.
Upon spotting the Ghost Soldier, the outpost soldier on observation immediately blew the ox horn to warn of an enemy attack.
The decisive battle has begun.
The soldiers, who had been preparing all night, immediately lit fires and unleashed a barrage of arrows, sending waves of arrows hurtling towards the Ghost Soldier.
From a distance, it looked like a Huoyan ribbon flying out from the army, Sweep left and right, wiping out large numbers of Ghost Soldier into Void.
Red cesium clashed with black cesium, a great battle between humans and demons.
The viewers off-camera had never seen such Epic Grade scene before. They held their breath, their hearts pounding, and they didn't even bother to post comments, afraid of missing a single moment.
Although the Ghost Soldier had no rules or battle formations, they were fearless and extremely fast.
After being bombarded by arrows wave after wave, the Ghost Soldier finally rushed close.
The Ghost Soldier had no weapons, relying solely on speed and strength, while the allied forces of the feudal lords, with their battle formations, teamwork, and superior weaponry, managed to achieve a stalemate.
As more and more Ghost Soldier broke through the rain of arrows, the Fangzheng engaged in large-scale close combat.
What would a decisive battle involving a million-strong army look like?
When the number of people reaches tens of thousands, it becomes boundless and limitless.
The allied forces of the feudal lords numbered 1.6 million, while Ling Yi's side had a million Ghost Soldier.
With the collision, the battlefield rapidly spread to both sides; there was no retreat, only life and death.
This is the first time since the Role-Playing Space began that such war scenes have been presented to the audience.
The camera pans down from high above, sweeping across the battlefield before slowly rising again, then switching to Ling Yi's side.
At this moment, Ling Yi was surrounded by towering black energy that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth.
Above the sky, a dark vortex was Yinyin appearing, as if something was brewing within it.
Immediately afterwards, the camera panned to Zhuge Liang's side.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan more frequently, his gaze fixed intently on the vortex in the sky.
In Zhuge Liang's view, that was Heavenly Punishment.
In reality, it was a spatial vortex created after the Star Ring was activated.
Zhuge Liang was unaware that all of this was orchestrated by Ling Yi. Although the audience knew that Ling Yi had created the commotion, they had no idea what the vortex actually was.
Every moment, the soldiers of the allied forces were "dying," but the Ghost Soldier seemed to be increasing in number with each battle.
At this moment, Cao Mengde strode up to Zhuge Liang and asked in a deep voice, " Kongming, what will be the outcome of this battle?"
"Fight to the death, victory is certain!" Zhuge Liang said, pointing his feather fan towards the whirlpool.
Cao Mengde, puzzled, was about to ask another question when he heard Zhuge Liang slowly utter two words: " Heavenly Punishment!"
Cao Mengde suddenly realized, gave Zhuge Liang a deep look, and turned to leave.
The Combat continued, the sounds of clashing weapons and shouts likely carrying for dozens of miles.
Standing on the high platform, Zhuge Liang felt that something was amiss.
This feeling was awkward, but for the moment, I couldn't figure out what the problem was.
After all, this was the first time fighting against Ghost Soldier, breaking some of the rules of conventional warfare.
Zhuge Liang didn't think much of it at first, but as the allied forces of the feudal lords suffered faster "deaths," Zhuge Liang awkward feeling became more and more obvious.
"What exactly is wrong?" Zhuge Liang muttered to himself, frowning as he rapidly waved his feather fan.
He looked again at the vortex in the sky; it seemed to have grown larger, and on the Demon Island, the black aura surrounding Ling Yi was becoming increasingly dense.
However, it seems to have reached a Limit, and there has been no activity for a long time.
Just then, Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of something, and he listened carefully to the sounds of the battlefield.
"No screams!"
In the midst of battle, how could there be no screams of soldiers? Even if the Ghost Soldier have some special abilities, they will inevitably be attacked before they die, and being attacked will naturally cause them to scream.
He carefully observed the battlefield again and indeed discovered a problem.
On the other side, Ling Yi also opened his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on Zhuge Liang's direction.
She smiled slightly and said, "Did you notice? Too bad, it's too late. It's time to end this."
As he spoke, Ling Yi, enveloped in towering black energy, soared into the sky and rose straight up into the Yunxiao.
"You damned heavens! I, Motian, refuse to submit! Today I will shatter your heavenly order!"
Everyone looked up at the sky.
Ling Yi charged straight at the black vortex in the sky, but each time he got close, black Thunder struck him.
With each strike, the black aura surrounding Ling Yi weakened by one point.
This was certainly not real Lightning, but rather Lightning shape Simulation by Ling Yi using Armament Haki.
"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!"
Ling Yi appeared to be insane, but he was still unable to get close to the black vortex, and the black aura on his body had almost completely dissipated.
Seemingly sensing the power of the black vortex, Ling Yi Roar furiously, "Since you insist on protecting these ants, then even if I die, I will annihilate them!"
Afterwards, Ling Yi stopped attacking the vortex and rushed towards the battlefield, heading straight for the main tent of the allied forces.
But the " Thunder " from the sky kept following him, striking him again and again.
Ling Yi roared, "You ants, all of you, die!"
The black aura around Ling Yi suddenly expanded, and he only had time to throw a punch downwards before letting out a scream. Then, Ling Yi disappeared into the sky.
Ling Yi's punch landed squarely on the spot where Zhuge Liang was standing.
Then, Zhuge Liang disappeared, and the black vortex in the sky also vanished.
The Ghost Soldier that were originally on the battlefield also disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"My strategist!" Liu Bei cried out in anguish, then fainted, and the scene froze...
