Chapter 324 Dead End
Rumbling--

The sky began to darken slowly.

Accompanied by low thunder, in the distant sky, rolling black clouds spread from far to near like an overturned ink bottle, and only a moment later, a drizzle began to fall.

Standing on the empty middle road, Wang Yao looked up, silently gazing at the gloomy sky while accepting the baptism of the gentle drizzle; although his body was covered with wounds, he felt more relaxed and satisfied than ever before.

I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time.
Was it because he conquered the State of Wei? Or was it because he finally had an explanation for his former companions who died on the battlefield? Or was it because he finally lived the life he had wanted?

Before I knew it, two years had passed.

From an ignorant and timid soldier to his current high position, from Wu to Wei, he has experienced countless life-and-death experiences and done many things he never dared to think of before; he has destroyed powerful defense towers, accumulated the coveted divine equipment, fought against those demon monsters, and even killed supreme heroes. He has become close friends and allies with some heroes, and he also has a virtuous and beautiful girl by his side.
Looking back, Wang Yao realized that his experience was just like a dream. If he could go back two years, Wang Yao would never have thought that he, who only worried about whether he could live to the next day, would achieve what he has today.

Of course, none of this came easy.

In these two years, he witnessed too many facts that a person in the 21st century could not bear; bloody turmoil and war filled the world, everyone was fighting for unknown conspiracies, there was a decadent tradition without human rights, extreme polarization of existence and status, countless soldiers died in the canyon at a young age, countless deaths, countless joys and sorrows.
It has been really not easy along the way. During this period, Wang Yao has experienced pain, struggle, despair, and confusion, but fortunately, he has never stopped moving forward!

It is precisely because of this unwillingness to succumb to the secular will that Wang Yao has everything he has today, including the federation that has gradually taken shape.

Now Wang Yao is not only the commander-in-chief of the Shu Kingdom Legion, but also the leader of the [Glory Federation] which he founded. This is his greatest achievement so far!

Starting from scratch, he created a united group that was different from other dictatorial forces and had new conceptual significance with his own efforts. Throughout the entire King's Continent, no one could be as successful as Wang Yao.

And if you calculate the time carefully, Luna, Zhou Yu and the others should be coming back from Fuso soon. If the war goes well, then the heroes of the island nation of Fuso will officially join and become part of the federation. By then, the number of heroes in the entire Glory Federation will reach a terrifying number!

An organization that unites three local governments, with assassins, mages, tanks, warriors, shooters, supports, and all kinds of heroes. With such a gorgeous and unprecedentedly powerful lineup, except for the Tang Empire and Jixia Academy, which other force in the world can be invincible?

Not only that, the future federation may even be able to absorb the extremely powerful Wei State!
Why was Wang Yao determined to reach the high ground of Wei State?

In fact, from a deeper perspective, there are many reasons why Wang Yao went against the majority opinion and challenged Cao Cao so stubbornly. It was not just for revenge as it seemed on the surface.

The current Wang Yao is no longer the small soldier he used to be, but a far-sighted planner. Most of the time, what he considers is no longer limited to the scope of morality as before, but he thinks and acts from the perspective of the overall situation!
It is undeniable that the decisive battle with Cao Cao was partly to avenge his former comrades and to vindicate the vast majority of soldiers, but the most important reason was that Wang Yao wanted to use this battle to make it possible for the Wei State, which would have been impossible to unite with their federation, to actively unite!
This may sound a bit obscure, but to put it simply: the strong will follow the stronger! Just like in the game, who wouldn't want to team up with a player who is more skilled than themselves?

Similarly, as an extremely ambitious hero, Cao Cao would certainly not be content to be confined to this small three-tenths of land. However, the world is so big, with so many powerful forces. How could a man of Cao Cao's level of military strategy not understand that Wei State alone would find it difficult to deal with and contend with all the forces?

Wang Yao was fully aware of this, which is why he did not kill Cao Cao at the last moment. His intention was naturally to make advance preparations to persuade Wei to join him in the future.

And there is no doubt that Wang Yao succeeded.

In this battle, the Wei Kingdom was completely defeated, and although Cao Cao did not make any specific statement until his death, it is not difficult to see that after this battle, the probability of the two countries' alliance in the future will inevitably be greatly improved!
Compared to the revenge, this result was the real reason why Wang Yao felt relieved!
Of course, having said so much, the above are just the best expectations for the time being. There is still a lot of personnel work to be done in the future, and there will be many difficulties to face. After all, if everything in the world can go so smoothly, then what pain is there in the world?

But at least for now, Wang Yao has basically worked out the general strategic plan in his mind, and all that remains is to wait for Luna to come back.

He always said that he wanted to take Luna out to explore the outside world, but fate was unfortunate and he had been delayed until today.

Now, his immediate wish has been fulfilled, and the chaotic situation in the Three-Part Land has gradually stabilized thanks to his efforts, so Wang Yao plans to put aside all affairs for the time being and give himself a short vacation to fulfill his previous promise.

The world is so big, he wants to take the girl to see it.

"Ok?"

Unconsciously, Wang Yao, who had walked back to the outskirts of the Shufang Highlands, suddenly stopped thinking and walking, and looked at the highlands ahead with a little confusion. He was too absorbed in the subject just now, so he only now realized that the entire field of vision in front of him had been all white since he didn't know when.

That's fog.

Extremely thick mist filled the entire vast Shu Highlands and enveloped the huge square, causing visibility to be pitifully low. No objects could be seen beyond three meters.

Why is there fog on this rainy day?
Wang Yao stepped into the high ground in confusion, but when he felt the thick touch of the floor under his feet, he suddenly stopped again!

Click.

This time, he instinctively raised his hand and pressed the hilt of the Blade of Justice hanging on his waist, because -

With the help of the "Phoenix Eye" on his left eye, Wang Yao actually saw two extremely sharp iron wires in the blurry air in front of him!

This discovery made him break out in a cold sweat instantly.

It was not because the two iron wires were placed in front of him as if on purpose. If he had gone three meters further, he would have been cut in half right away. It was because his normal right eye could not see the two iron wires at all! !
What kind of horrifying concept is this? In other words, it is impossible for a normal person to see this deadly trap. If it weren't for the Phoenix Eye, even Wang Yao wouldn't be able to see it!
And almost at the same time——

Just when Wang Yao became alert, the two iron wires suddenly moved.

"Secret Technique: Cross Flash!"

Accompanied by a low cold shout, it was as if a fisherman suddenly pulled back the fishing rod. The two iron wires actually began to rush towards Wang Yao at the center from the left and right!

Snap, hiss!!
At the intersection of the iron wires, a tiny crack emitting strange black smoke was cut out in the space at the center of the X-shape. The sharpness of the crack exceeded the physical limit and forcibly cut the space!
Of course, with his superb reaction speed, Wang Yao finally dodged it in time. However——

Tick. Tick.
Bright red blood flowed down his left arm, dripping onto the floor at his feet.

"Who is it?!" Wang Yao pressed his bloody left arm with his right hand and shouted angrily at the impenetrable fog.

Although he successfully avoided the deadly trap, Wang Yao was still scratched on the arm by one of the iron wires.

But these are not important. What is important is that he never expected that someone would attack him on his own high ground!
Moreover, the water mist surrounding the entire Highland Square was too unnatural. If you had to describe it, it was just like rain falling on volcanic magma with an overly high temperature, which evaporated into high-temperature water vapor!
Just as I was thinking this, the fog in front of me suddenly changed.

call!
Amid an almost inaudible sound, a figure as bright as a flash of light suddenly shot out from the fog. At the same time, in the blur, a dry and strong palm also went straight towards Wang Yao's neck!
The figure was so fast, several times faster than Cao Cao at full strength! Before Wang Yao could react, an extremely solemn and majestic old face appeared in front of him, very close!

He was an old man with thick curly beard and white hair.

But the most terrifying thing is not the old man's unprecedented speed of movement, but his eyes!

Those were eyes that Wang Yao had never seen before. He had seen many eyes, some beautiful, some sharp, but he had never seen eyes as murderous and abstract as these!
It looked turbid, but it seemed to contain endless rules and avenues, encompassing everything in the world! With just one glance, Wang Yao felt as if his soul was pierced by an invisible sword, and he instantly suffered the torture of the eighteen levels of hell!
"Long time no see, young and promising——"

The old man's calm and vigorous tone suddenly became higher.

“Thief!!”
