Chapter 914 A Difficult Play to Perform: A Joint Attack on "Su"?
"Hmph, when I see Wang Xiangyang again, I'll make him see what true mastery of internal energy is, and what true invincibility is!"
Xiang Yu clenched his fists, a surge of irrepressible impulse and desire welling up within him. He looked forward to that day, to using his own strength to prove everything and conquer everything.
"The World's Power Rankings are nothing but a game! The real stage is in this vast world, on this battlefield ravaged by war!"
"I, Xiang Yu, will surely become the strongest being in this world, and let everyone witness what a true overlord is!"
After saying this, Xiang Yu suddenly stood up, his figure as upright as a mountain, and his domineering aura instantly filled the entire tent. He strode towards the tent entrance, his back view appearing even more aloof.
...
"Ding! Detected that Li Cunxiao, under the host's command, has killed Nangong Tianxia, the former second seat on the World Ranking, and has been promoted to the first seat on the World Ranking, achieving the accomplishment of 'Number One in the World'!"
Li Cunxiao is rewarded with a random increase of 2 points in all four attributes. Since Li Cunxiao's martial prowess has already reached its maximum value, his leadership and intelligence are each increased by 1 point.
当前李存孝基础属性为统帅93（+1+1），武力110，智力80（+4+1），政治72（+2）。
Note: An additional bonus is added: Li Cunxiao's advancement was influenced by Meng Zhang while working alongside him!
Meanwhile, in Tianheng Prefecture, the capital of Hengzhou, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was deep in the night. The flickering candlelight illuminated the carved beams and painted rafters, adding to the tranquility.
"My lord, here is the latest intelligence from the Luo Wang."
Dressed in a black fishnet outfit, the graceful Jingni entered lightly, holding a scroll of secret letter in her hands. She knelt down on one knee in front of Su Ye and presented the letter, her voice clear and cold with a hint of barely perceptible tenderness.
"Wow! Thirteen has already jumped to first place?"
Su Yewen took the letter, flicked it with his fingertips, and the wax seal cracked open. He unfolded the letter and began to skim through it.
As he read on, a playful smile gradually appeared on his lips, and a hint of undisguised joy flashed in his eyes.
On the yellowed paper, Li Cunxiao's illustrious military achievements were meticulously recorded in tiny characters, along with the new title bestowed upon him by the Tianji Pavilion—"Hate Heaven Without Rings."
Su Ye's gaze swept quickly across the scene, and he couldn't help but admire Li Cunxiao in his heart. As expected, Li Cunxiao had lived up to his expectations and single-handedly made the entire Tianwu Continent tremble.
"Haha, that kid Thirteen really gave me a big surprise."
"Li Cunxiao, the one who hates the heavens without a ring—what an imposing title!"
Su Ye laughed loudly, casually tossing the secret letter onto the table, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
As Li Cunxiao's actual lord, the fact that his generals were able to reach the top of the list of heroes in the world is undoubtedly the best proof of his vision and strength.
However, the good times didn't last long. Su Ye's smile quickly faded, replaced by a faint look of worry.
He sighed softly, leaned his head back against a soft spot, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
"This is getting a bit troublesome."
"If Thirteen suddenly has such a big surprise in store, then the show that follows will be difficult to put on."
Su Ye muttered to himself, pondering his next plan.
He had recently planned to personally travel to Qianzhou in the Great Qian Dynasty to stage a carefully crafted confrontation with Li Cunxiao, Meng Zhang, and others in order to conceal the true intentions of the Yellow Turban Army and deceive the world.
However, Li Cunxiao, who has suddenly risen to the top spot, has now become the focus of attention throughout the world. Sending just anyone to confront him would obviously not be enough to fool anyone.
"At least one general with a base attack level of 109 or higher is needed to avoid revealing any flaws."
Su Ye silently pondered in his heart, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
Although he has many capable generals under his command, only a handful can meet this standard, and each of them has important responsibilities and cannot be easily transferred.
However, if we really want to talk about it, Xuanwu, who is still serving as his guard, can be considered one, as can Zhuque, who has always been by his side and is currently in Tianheng Mansion with his mother.
However, both of them have some minor flaws. Suzaku, needless to say, has excellent long-range combat capabilities, but he is not very good at close combat.
Therefore, unless Suzaku unleashes his ultimate move, the "Phoenix Arrow," he wouldn't even be qualified to pose a threat to Li Cunxiao under normal circumstances if he were just putting on an act.
Xuanwu is similar. Many of Xuanwu's skills are related to defensive skill triggering mechanisms. Unless Su Ye encounters a certain degree of danger, Xuanwu's skills will not actually explode very quickly under normal circumstances, at least not as quickly as Nangong Tianxia, who died at the hands of Li Cunxiao.
Therefore, given that Xuanwu knew Li Cunxiao and that he was one of their own, his strength under normal circumstances would definitely not be as great as Nangong Tianxia's.
As for Li Cunxiao, who was able to defeat Nangong Tianxia in one-on-one, it wouldn't be impossible to have Xuanwu put on a show, but some people would definitely be able to see that there was something fishy going on between the two sides.
Therefore, what Su Ye needs now is a top-tier war god who can truly match Li Cunxiao in combat power or is only slightly weaker!
"Do we really have to call the White Tiger back?"
Su Ye muttered to himself, his brows furrowing even more.
Baihu, a general who also possesses the ultimate cultivation of Qi, is currently guarding the border of the grasslands, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the northern grasslands of Cangzhou and Qizhou.
If he were transferred back, and if any changes occurred in the situation on the grasslands, they would lose a trump card that could deliver the final blow.
Su Ye stood up and paced back and forth in the room, feeling somewhat hesitant. This play was crucial to the future of the Yellow Turban Army. If it went wrong, not only would all his previous hard work be in vain, but it might also attract the vigilance and siege of all the lords and kings around him.
When those feudal lords who are still struggling and fighting to the death in their own homes suddenly find that such a big "monster" has appeared beside them, I'm afraid none of them will be able to sleep.
In a while, it will probably turn into a story of eighteen warlords attacking "Su".
As we all know, once a maverick "person" appears in a group, it's only a matter of time before he becomes the target of everyone's attacks.
The alliance that once attacked the powerful Qin state to "unite the weak to attack the strong" will soon happen to Su Ye.
However, the alliance that occurred with the powerful Qin state, apart from Chu and Qi, included the four states of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan. Although there were some differences in strength, the differences were not significant. This resulted in the entire alliance lacking a leader with a strong voice.
It appears to be an alliance, but in reality, each entity acts independently. Furthermore, because there are too many countries involved, the situation often becomes difficult to control, leading to many unpredictable phenomena.
Therefore, the alliances during the Warring States period, though seemingly powerful with multiple states united, were actually alliances of small states, each unwilling to expend their own strength. Thus, although the allied forces numbered in the millions, their actual combat power was weak. Lacking a leader, they were unable to unite the states into a cohesive force, leading to internal strife within the alliance.
Externally, the alliance is stagnant; internally, it is crushing each other.
