Chapter 202: Reversi

As the Shu Kingdom's heavy artillery shooter, Huang Zhong had long been famous for his brazen presence in the Three Kingdoms, and his sudden appearance not only caught Cao Cao off guard, but also caused Wei's black army to fall into considerable chaos and panic.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but wonder, Shu Kingdom has already known two heroes, so will there be more heroes coming? Is an unprecedented large-scale heroic group battle about to break out on this high ground?
No one can guess what the ending will be.

But comparatively speaking, seeing Huang Zhong, Luna was naturally delighted: "Uncle!"

Huang Zhong, who was standing on the high wall, looked down at Luna, who was waving at him excitedly. His unfriendly look towards Cao Cao soon turned into a hint of helplessness and full of doting: "Little girl, you have grown wings, haven't you? Didn't you tell me last night that you would meet outside the enemy's high ground in two days? Why did you run over here on your own?!"

Facing Huang Zhong's gentle yet stern rebuke, Luna suddenly felt a little embarrassed and scratched her hair beside her cheek, sticking out her pink tongue and said, "Hehehe, uncle, don't be angry. I'm sorry."

Luna did not elaborate on the reason because she was not ready to confess her relationship with Wang Yao to Huang Zhong.

In fact, it was because Luna suddenly heard the news late last night that the seventh main force of the army on the road was trapped in the high ground of Wei. This news was deliberately spread by Cao Cao's black soldiers on three lines in order to lure the hidden Su An to Wei. As a result, Luna, because she was concerned about Wang Yao, began to attack the middle road of Wei at all costs and pushed all the way to the high ground of Wei.
but.

"Uncle, why are you here too?" Luna still didn't quite understand.

"You mean me? Of course I'm here to take you two silly kids home." As he spoke, Huang Zhong suddenly looked at the bearded soldier Su An in the field, and said slowly: "I'm entrusted by a certain master..."

As if he had sensed Huang Zhong's meaningful gaze, Su An was stunned for three seconds, and then a faint smile of relief slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, like a dying man who had fulfilled his last wish in life.
Even though he is condemned by thousands of people and cannot be tolerated by "them", he is not alone on this bumpy and desolate road, because behind him, there is that man who is cleaning up the mess for him.

That's enough.
On the other side, Wang Yao, who was originally surprised and happy about Huang Zhong's arrival, immediately changed his expression when he heard this.

Was Huang Zhong asked by someone to pick him and Luna up?

At this point, Wang Yao didn't care at all who entrusted Huang Zhong with the task. What he cared more about was that once Huang Zhong said this, it meant that he had no intention of fighting anymore. This was the only thing Wang Yao couldn't accept!

Why not press on to win? For Wang Yao, this is a golden opportunity that can only be had once in a lifetime!

From the moment Huang Zhong appeared, all the information currently available had instantly formed a complete data map in Wang Yao's mind.

According to Wang Yao's estimation, at the beginning of the Canyon War, the distribution of Wei's heroes should be: Lu Bu on the top lane, Zhen Ji in the middle lane, but these two lanes have been broken through, and the heroes Lu Bu and Zhen Ji who were responsible for defending the lines have also been defeated and entered the resurrection time.

In other words, the only heroes left in Wei State are Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Cai Wenji, Dian Wei, and Diao Chan. Among them, there should be two heroes guarding the bottom lane of Wei State. After all, against the combination of Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei, it is impossible for Wei State to have only one hero guarding the bottom lane, otherwise it will not be able to hold the line at all.

To sum up, it is obvious that among all the heroes of Wei State, there are only Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, and one hero whose identity cannot be determined, a total of three people are on this high ground!

This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Wang Yao firmly believes that with Luna's current super strength that can easily play with Lu Bu, plus Huang Zhong, they can definitely suppress the three heroes of Wei. What's more, the three summoner skills "Heal", "Flash" and "Stun" have all cooled down, so he can still fight!

No, I can't leave like this!

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Yao's eyes began to become bloodshot again.

He lost everything here, his subordinates, comrades, and dignity. He will regret it for the rest of his life! How can he face the families of the soldiers after returning to Jingzhou? How can he face Erda? !

Wang Yao could no longer forgive these monsters in front of him whose hands were stained with blood.

At this moment, only by destroying the crystal in the square, killing all the enemy heroes, and slaughtering all the black soldiers standing in front of you can you comfort the souls of your friends in heaven! !
The hatred and bloodthirsty rage reappeared and distorted the soldier's originally handsome face.
A broad palm suddenly patted Wang Yao's shoulder.

Wang Yao turned his head slowly with an expressionless face. When he saw the person next to him clearly, his bloodshot eyes instantly regained a little clarity: "Captain?"

This tall and strong man with a full beard was one of the few people Wang Yao respected very much in his heart. Out of habit, he would at least restrain himself a little in front of Su An.

"Are you okay?" Su An stood beside Wang Yao with a complicated expression.

"I'm fine." Wang Yao's tone was long and low, as if he was trying his best to restrain the devil deep in his heart, and his shoulders couldn't stop shaking slightly: "I'm sorry, Captain, I couldn't protect Maomao and the others."

Su An was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "These are not your fault."

"No!" Su An's words were like needles in his ears, so Wang Yao suddenly raised his voice, shook his head and murmured: "I left them in the top lane. If I hadn't left them and ran into the jungle alone to the middle lane, they wouldn't have been brought to the enemy's high ground! If!!"

At the end of his speech, Wang Yao actually started to become crazy again, especially when his gaze shifted to Cao Cao. The murderous aura that he had deliberately suppressed suddenly burst out again as if it were real!

"Captain, please find a chance to leave here later, don't worry." Wang Yao turned around and grinned at Su An with a crazy look on his face, "I will definitely avenge Maomao and the others!"

Wang Yao's face at this moment was covered in blood, with a cold and crazy smile, looking as creepy as a devil from hell.

Su An felt a chill in his heart when he saw this. The soldier in front of him was no longer the familiar figure he used to be.
Frowning and pondering for a moment, Su An finally seemed to have made up his mind. He put his right hand on Wang Yao's shoulder again, his eyes gentle, and said word by word like a kind father: "The dead are gone, and you are still young. You still have a long way to go in the future. Don't be blinded by hatred. From now on, you should live well together with me and Maomao."

Then, before Wang Yao could react, Su An suddenly grabbed Wang Yao's neck and pressed his thumb on his carotid artery. Within two seconds, Wang Yao felt extremely dizzy due to insufficient blood supply to his brain.

"?!!" Wang Yao suddenly opened his eyes wide. In the last moment before he fell into coma, he turned around in disbelief and looked at Su An.

Su An's lowered eyes showed a hint of sadness and determination, and he spoke in a low voice as if saying goodbye.

"Don't blame me. Anyone can do it, but you can't die here. When you go back, someone will tell you the whole story."

Snapped.
Wang Yao's body rested weakly on Su An's.

"Ayao!" Luna, who was confused, saw the scene and flew to Su An anxiously. She put the unconscious Wang Yao on her shoulders and asked angrily, "Brother Su Su! What are you doing?!"

"If we don't do this, he won't be able to leave." Su An withdrew his hand and his face regained its calmness.

Luna was stunned for a moment, but still said with dissatisfaction: "Ayao is not such an unreasonable person. If you have anything to say, just talk to him nicely. There is no need to use force. What if, what if you hurt him?"

At the end of her speech, Luna suddenly found that Su An was looking at her with a smile, and her pretty face suddenly felt hot with guilt, and her voice gradually became softer.

"With you by his side, Wang Yao is lucky." Su An smiled meaningfully, then bent down and picked up a long sword left by an unknown soldier. Then he turned to Cao Cao in the distance and whispered meaningfully, "But if you really have intentions, I think you should have noticed it, right?"

For some reason, looking at Su An's subtle expression, Luna suddenly fell silent at this moment; or it should be said that, just as Su An said, she had indeed realized a certain "fact".

Glancing at Luna who looked a little depressed, Su An sighed quietly, "Yes, Wang Yao has changed. In the past six months, he has witnessed too many deaths and separations. Imperceptibly, he didn't even know that he had been deeply affected and even began to lose himself. Six months ago, he had to kneel on the ground and vomit for a long time after killing an enemy. But now? How is he different from some heroes who kill without blinking an eye and despise life as grass?"

"."Luna remained silent. She didn't know what to say because she had been vaguely worried about this for a long time, but she just didn't want to admit it.

At this moment, Su An seemed to have noticed something, and his brows began to show anxiety and uneasiness: "In short, Luna, I'll leave it to you from now on. You must not let Wang Yao degenerate and become a callous butcher!"

"What should I do?" Luna asked at a loss.

"Give him peace of mind." It seemed that there was no time to elaborate. After saying this, Su An suddenly waved his hand and said directly: "Now, take Wang Yao away from this place!"

"Okay!" Infected by Su An's sudden agitation, Luna also felt somewhat uneasy. She didn't know when this enemy high ground had given her a bad feeling. But as soon as she turned around, she was stunned again and asked, "Wait, what about you, Brother Su?"

"I have to stay." Su An said without turning his head, holding a long knife in his hand. It seemed that deep in front, something terrible was slowly approaching him.

"Stay? Why? You should come with us too!" Luna looked at Su An in astonishment. In her cognition, she knew very well what the consequences would be if a small soldier stayed in the enemy's high ground. In response, Su An just urged anxiously: "With me here, none of you can leave. Stop talking, hurry up!"

"But!" Luna wanted to refute, but Su An's next sentence made her stunned.

"Do you want Wang Yao to die here too?!"

Su An showed his anger for the first time, and shouted angrily: "The impulsive things are over! You and your uncle can be resurrected after death, but what about Wang Yao? If you don't think about yourself, think about him too!"

At that moment, Luna's face was full of pain, but only three seconds later, she gritted her teeth, carried Wang Yao on her back, and finally activated her third skill [Crescent Assault] on the spot, turning into a stream of light and jumping over the high wall behind her.

Maybe this is selfish, but sometimes, there is always someone you want to protect who can make you abandon everything; just like for Wang Yao, Luna can rush into the Wei State highlands alone without regard for the consequences.

Because she was walking too fast, Luna didn't notice that Wang Yao's two weapons, the Armor-Piercing Bow and the Infinity Blade, were left in a corner of the square.
"What are you all doing?! Go stop the enemy!!"

Cao Cao, who was far away, saw that Luna actually took Wang Yao and directly escaped from their own high ground. He was immediately angry and roared at the tens of thousands of black soldiers who were still standing there watching stupidly.

After being yelled at by Cao Cao, the black soldiers seemed to come to their senses. Just as they were about to chase after them, Su An, who had been prepared in the distance, suddenly swung out the long sword in his hand.

Boom——

The earth-shaking black-gold blade light tore through space without warning, and in the dust, it was like a tornado raging through! Afterwards, a bottomless sword ditch suddenly appeared in front of tens of thousands of black soldiers, completely blocking the army's route forward!

"This is the bottom line. If you cross it, you will be destroyed!" Su An said coldly to the densely packed black soldiers.

"."

"."

"."

Inside the square, tens of thousands of black soldiers stared with eyes wide open with deathly pale faces, staring in horror at the deep ditch that suddenly appeared in front of them. After a long while, no one dared to move!
No soldier would doubt whether Su An's words at this moment were just a joke.

"I never thought that you are the one who started the war that people in later generations can only read about in books." Suddenly, a clear voice rang in Su An's ears.

There was no expression on Su An's face, but he was slightly startled in his heart. At the same time, he glanced at Huang Zhong who was still on the high wall from a distance without leaving a trace.

Through a specific 'channel', heroes can communicate remotely at a certain distance, and this communication can only be heard by friendly units. To some extent, this also provides a certain degree of confidentiality for heroes when formulating combat plans in the canyon.

Su An: "Did he tell you everything?"

Huang Zhong: "Half. Lord Zhuge doesn't seem to want me to know too much."

Su An: "Oh, this man is always so rational."

The channel fell into a brief silence.

"Are you really not leaving? You should know what kind of people those are." Huang Zhong asked again.

"Oh, life is not sad, death is not painful, I won't leave. I've been hiding for so many years, I'm tired." Su An wanted to say "take care of Wang Yao for me", but when the words came to his lips, he seemed to remember something and swallowed them back, and simply replied: "Let's go, so as not to be implicated by me."

Snap, snap, snap—

As soon as he finished speaking, the crisp sound of countless gears colliding with each other was heard. The metal turret under Huang Zhong's seat actually began to shrink and overlap together, and finally turned into a giant cannon hanging on his arm.

After neatly putting away his artillery, Huang Zhong stood on the high wall, took a last look at Su An's back who was now surrounded, sighed silently, and then followed Luna and left the Wei high ground without looking back.

"Damn old man! You suddenly shot me and you want to run away?!"

On the other side, Xiahou Dun, who had been blown away by Huang Zhong's cannon, had already climbed up from the pit far away in the square in anger and shame, took out the broadsword in his hand, and was about to use his ultimate move to chase after him with great momentum.

Although Xiahou Dun is only a junior, he is still a hero after all. He is fundamentally different from those soldiers who can be scared away by a single sword. So when Su An saw this, he immediately crossed his long sword across his chest and stood up to block Xiahou Dun's way.

"!!!" Xiahou Dun had no choice but to stop and glared at Su An with some annoyance for hindering his pursuit of prey, as if he was ready to fight with him if they disagreed.

Just at this moment, an old voice that seemed to come from a deep valley suddenly interrupted Su An and Xiahou Dun.

"Xiahou, there's no need to chase them. It's okay. Just let them go."

The sound was not loud, but once it entered the ears, it was like the roar of a huge bell. When Su An heard it, he felt as if he had been hit hard, and his face turned pale.

Even someone as proud of his own strength as Xiahou Dun immediately lowered his head and stepped aside without saying a word. His level of humility formed a sharp contrast with his furious appearance just a second ago.

snap snap snap snap
The sound of chaotic footsteps began to sound.

Originating from the deepest shadows of the Wei State Highlands, seven black and white figures appeared one after another, and their true appearances slowly emerged.

——————————————————The dividing line of the strongest combination————————————————

There is a reason why Jixia Academy has become the institution that holds the highest power in the entire continent.

In fact, the real founding time of the great Jixia Academy can be traced back to the ancient times. In that barren era after the fall of the gods, the banner of Jixia was like the sun after the winter, giving new life to the land.

In that chaotic and lawless age, Jixia brought together all the elites of the time, replanned the rules of all things, and repaired the broken world. From that time on, heroes also came into people's sight.

To this day, the Jixia Academy has stood for a thousand years, and its students and former officials have long been spread all over the continent. It is no exaggeration to say that almost all heroes have a close relationship with this academy.

As for now, no matter how many eras have passed, no matter how the forces have changed, Jixia has always been the only one standing on this land, and no one can match it! Because it has gathered the best heroes in the entire King's Continent. In addition to the three legendary giants Wan Gu Chang Ming, Xiao Yao Huan Meng, and He Ping Shou Wang, there are also unparalleled warriors such as Yuan Ge, Lian Po, and Zhong Wuyan. Even Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, who dominated the Three Kingdoms, are his students. With such strength, who can be a rival?
Of course, don’t think that Jixia Academy is limited in its strength. As the origin of heroes, Jixia Academy has also trained several special forces, and the most feared of them is the Jixia Star Team.

Note that the "people" here do not refer to soldiers, but heroes! As a secret assassination force, ordinary people actually have no chance to know the existence of the "Star Team", and basically only spread among the heroes. But because of their outstanding abilities and the uniform black and white uniforms specially made by Jixia, the heroes prefer to call them——

"Othello!"

The boundless sky darkened silently, and the temperature of the air suddenly dropped to almost below zero degrees.

Tens of thousands of black soldiers looked in horror and astonishment at the strange hero who suddenly appeared on their own high ground. In the dim light, they only felt that a large group of monster phantoms so huge that they covered half of the sky were gathering towards them with terrifying momentum. The originally vast square actually felt narrow because of the appearance of this group of people!
If Wang Yao was present at this moment, he would probably be so scared that he wouldn't be able to utter a word, because the group of enemies walking towards him were, in order: Zhong Wuyan, Dongfang Yao, Xi Shi, Meng Qi, Master Lu Ban, and Sun Bin.

The leader was none other than one of the three giants of the Jixia Academy; the Eternal Bright Old Master!
One of them is the [Black and White Chess] that even heroes fear, and the other is the supreme power that created the framework of this world!
But Su An's reaction was completely the opposite.

Staring at the old master's indifferent and aged face with hatred, Su An, whose face was slightly pale but no longer scrupled, slowly raised the long knife in his hand, with the tip of the knife pointing straight forward.

"I haven't seen you for many years, teacher!"
