Chapter 318: Victory (Part )

Cao Cao.

I'm finally starting to get impatient!
What is going on? !
He was a first-generation hero! The great king of Wei! But in this battle that should have been a foregone conclusion, he was shocked to find that not only was he unable to suppress Wang Yao in terms of swordsmanship, but even his proud skills were all suppressed one by one. How could he not be anxious?

And, most importantly; although this was the first real confrontation, Wang Yao was clearly familiar with the characteristics of all his skills. The key move [Bloody Hero] that was supposed to decide the outcome was actually delayed until the time limit was reached while Wang Yao was dodging and pulling as if he had planned it in advance.

All in all, Cao Cao only hit Wang Yao once! What made Cao Cao even more confused was that the blood and energy he recovered was almost half of the usual amount!
Based on the precise damage conversion, Cao Cao knew very well that even if he only hit the opponent once, the total blood volume recovered should be more than 28%.

As a result, his current HP was only 52%, which means that he actually only recovered 14% of his HP. His HP was basically at the same level as Wang Yao's! (Due to the passive effect of the Blade of Justice)
So far, the two sides have basically tied, and if this situation continues -

It may still be unknown who will win!
How could he possibly be defeated by this little soldier? How could this be possible? This was impossible!

Confused and full of pride, Cao Cao was angry. Just like someone among the bystanders, he also felt for the first time that his position was threatened!
However, what made Cao Cao even more angry was yet to come——

Wang Yao in the distance gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then raised his chin slightly and said to Cao Cao indifferently: "Your Excellency King of Wei, your strength should not be limited to this, right?"

Gulu!

A large number of blue veins suddenly appeared on Cao Cao's forehead due to congestion.

Because his own ability was seen through, and because he suddenly believed that this soldier in front of him must not be left alive! Otherwise, it would be a huge hidden danger for the Wei State! He must be killed on the spot!

"Since you sincerely wish to die, then I will grant your wish!"

As soon as he said this, Cao Cao immediately raised his giant sword and held it upright in front of him. Almost at the same time, the sunlight suddenly dimmed.

Because of that extremely dazzling blood light!
At this time, meaningless sword skills competition is of no avail. Only by using the strongest skills can the enemy be killed!
"Do you still remember the pain you felt back then?"

Through the blade standing upright in front of his face, Cao Cao stared at Wang Yao with murderous intent like a bloody dragon.

"Let me once again give you unforgettable pain!"

hum-

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant sword trembled and hummed sharply, and the strange and creepy blood light surged again. Then, all the blood light began to gather on the giant sword in Cao Cao's hand.

In an instant, the ground cracked and a strong wind blew. Cao Cao's momentum was raised to a higher level again!
This is the starting move of the 1st skill [Blade of Domination]!
Half a year ago, Cao Cao used Skill 1 to easily beat Wang Yao to the point of near-death injury, and now, the same move has reappeared!

At the same time, on the periphery, seeing Cao Cao's momentum change again, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly flashed a sinister cold light.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
At this moment, all of Cao Cao's attention was focused on Wang Yao, and he had no time to care about his surroundings. At this moment, as long as he sneaked up secretly, he would definitely be able to kill this hero!

With this in mind, Liu Bei raised the double-barreled musket in his hand with a click, and whispered to Sun Shangxiang, "Xiangxiang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Go and help me hold back Sima Yi. I will take the opportunity to give Cao Cao a fatal blow from behind. In this way, our Shu Kingdom will surely win!"

but.

Liu Bei's extremely passionate words did not receive any response.

"Xiangxiang?" Liu Bei turned around anxiously and puzzledly and looked at Sun Shangxiang.

At that moment, from Sun Shangxiang's profile, Liu Bei saw an expression he had never seen on this young lady's face before; there was unconcealed expectation, vague worry, and firm trust.
After a while——

"No." The girl suddenly replied in a low voice, which Liu Bei did not expect at all.

"This is unfair and a bit dishonorable. After all, the Wei people didn't go up to besiege Wang Yao just now. Besides..." Sun Shangxiang raised her head and looked at the stubborn shadow facing the bloody tide alone with his back to her. Her clear green eyes sparkled with water. "I think if we go up to interfere at this time, even if we win in the end, Wang Yao won't be happy."

Fair? Happy?

At that moment, Liu Bei almost laughed out loud because of inexplicable anger.

How can war be decided by one person's joy, anger, sorrow or happiness? !
How could this little girl be so naive? Where is the fairness in war? The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. As long as you win, it doesn't matter whether the means used in the process are glorious or not! Doesn't she understand this truth? !

In this situation, if we don't kill Cao Cao when he is at his weakest, when will we? ! That is a victory that is within our grasp! What is victory? Prestige, status, resources, crystals! !
Seeing that time was running out, Liu Bei, who was already anxious, lost his composure for the first time.

He urged excitedly, "Xiangxiang, listen to me. This is the first time in my life that I have seen Cao Cao so weak. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have such a good chance again! You must not be willful at this time. You must listen to me. Go up and distract Sima Yi immediately to buy me some time!"

If Liu Bei's words were applied to other heroes of Shu Kingdom, they might be effective, but if it were applied to Sun Shangxiang, it would only have the opposite effect.

Because what the eldest daughter hates most since she was a child is other people telling her what to do!

"Stop nagging! I do what I like, what's it to you?" Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly and glanced back at Liu Bei with some dissatisfaction: "If you want to sneak attack, just do it yourself. I don't want to do such a thing! If you keep nagging like this, I'll call the people of Wei to beat you up together!"

Liu Bei was speechless and frightened.
His eyes widened, looking at the slightly annoyed Sun Shangxiang in astonishment. Should it be said that the eldest lady was indeed famous for being perverse and willful?

But what's wrong with pursuing victory? For the sake of that worthless glory, giving up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight, and then talking about fairness and justice to the enemy, isn't this kind of behavior sick? !

Having said that, Liu Bei finally said nothing more.

He was a person who was very good at calculating the pros and cons. At this time, victory was rare and precious, but Sun Shangxiang was an existence that he could not afford to offend. Instead, he had to please her. After all, the war might be won later, and if Sun Shangxiang missed the opportunity, she might be completely disconnected from Shu.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei looked reluctantly at Wang Yao and Cao Cao who were ready to go on the battlefield. For a moment, he could only use four words to describe his feelings.

What a pity, what a shame!
