Chapter 130: No Great General in Shu? I

Crazy!

Too crazy!

The ten thousand Shu soldiers' fierce, death‑defying, tide‑like remnants, whose assault had been raging, suddenly stalled.

Sever a thousand‑year unresolved grudge?

What a brat!

What a madman!

But…

They could not refute!

Because that man truly acted alone.

Within their ten‑thousand‑strong formation, he killed a seven‑in, seven‑out!

That bizarre long sword, shimmering with multicolored light…

It looks comical, yet can split mountains and crack stones!

Where the blade passes, men and horses tumble, leaving not a single opponent!

His dominance is etched into his very bones!

Boom—!

On the battlefield, the silhouettes of all Shu soldiers.

Turned into countless red‑hot specks fluttering across the sky, like a brilliant meteor fire rain, lining both sides.

The boundless sandfield instantly became empty and dead silent.

Only Su Ming remains, standing with his sword.

And behind him, the black‑backed white‑letter 【Han】 flag wildly dancing in the blood‑red wind.

Won?

No!

Dong— dong—!

Dong— dong—!

The war drums have just begun to sound.

Su Ming slowly lifts his head.

Several heavy footsteps arrive from afar, neither hurried nor slow.

The murderous intent around intensifies gradually.

Inside the Gate, several towering figures slowly emerged.

Clad in heavy armor painted with beast patterns, their faces shrouded in shadows, indistinct.

Yet that aura of golden spears, iron horses, and a bravery that swallows mountains and rivers…

It is several times more terrifying than the ten thousand troops just now combined!

This is a General!

He is a battle‑hardened General who truly emerged from the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!

A towering figure, standing out among the crowd.

He holds no weapon, only two massive square shields as tall as a person.

Immovable as a mountain!

"Stabilizing Army General, Xiang Chong!"

"I have specially come to learn from your brilliant tactics!"

His voice is hoarse, yet laced with iron blood and resolve.

Xiang Chong!

The Late Emperor Liu Bei personally praised his 【virtuous conduct and balanced nature, clear mastery of military affairs】!

And was entrusted by Zhuge Liang with a heavy responsibility, as the commander of the royal guards!

His duty is to protect!

It is the last, and most indestructible, line of defense of the Shu Han palace city.

Before the words finish.

Xiang Chong's figure suddenly turns into a streak of light, at extreme speed!

It is not an attack, but using his body as a formation.

The two massive shields, along his charge's path, tear two black rifts in space!

In an instant, they converge around Su Ming.

"Formation! No gap!"

"What?!"

Su Ming's eyes are filled with terror.

Rumble—!

The earth shakes violently, smoke and dust rise!

Within several meters of Su Ming, a steel Prison that isolates all things forms!

Inside the Prison, in every direction, countless sharp bone spikes erupt madly from the inner wall of the shields.

This is no longer mere defense.

But in the name of protection, it carries out extermination!

"Come on!"

Su Ming's eyes held no trace of panic, only an ever more intense fighting spirit.

He was too lazy to bother with those bone spurs, letting them slash across his body, leaving wounds that were neither painful nor itchy.

Charge forward!

All his power poured completely into the 【Pinduoduo War Blade】 in his hand!

No fancy techniques.

Only the purest, most primal, most unreasonable……

One strike!

"Open up for me, damn it!!!"

Clang——!

The explosive roar rang out!

The five-colored war blade, carrying the force of myriad jun of thunder, fiercely slashed onto the giant shield!

Crack——!

A giant shield capable of withstanding the charge of ten thousand troops.

Yet this single blow actually split it open, creating a ferocious crack!

Within the crack, Su Ming's eyes burning with madness collided with Xiang Chong's shocked gaze!

"Your defense……"

Too weak!

Boom!!!

The second strike followed immediately!

Its power was even more violent than before!

The shield dubbed the 【Absolute Defense】 shattered with a roar!

Xiang Chong's burly frame staggered backward, his eyes filled with shock, the light over his whole body rapidly dimming.

"You…… you!"

He did not fight again.

Nor did he look toward Su Ming.

Instead, he thunderously dropped to one knee toward the direction of Brocade City.

This general, whose life had been devoted to guarding, now had only regret and sorrow in his voice.

"Your Majesty……"

"I…… am unable to protect the emperor……"

As his words faded, his dim figure turned back into red flowing light, retreating to before the gate.

Su Ming stood holding his blade, tip pointing obliquely at the ground, five-colored light constantly flowing around him.

His gaze swept over the distant silent commander souls, his voice icy.

"Next."

Several figures visibly hesitated.

Then, another figure slowly stepped forward.

His build was slightly slender, he held a blackwood longbow.

On his back he carried a pot holding an indeterminate number of arrows.

His aura was nowhere near as heavy as a mountain like Xiang Chong's.

Yet he possessed the agility and lethality of a leopard!

"General Who Pacifies Rebels, Zhang Yi!"

"Arrow formation, at the ready!"

As his words fell, Zhang Yi's silhouette actually split apart on the spot!

One becomes ten, ten becomes a hundred!

In an instant, over a hundred identical Zhang Yis, arranged in a fan, completely surrounded Su Ming!

They simultaneously drew their bows and nocked arrows!

"Arrows fly! No falsehood!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——!

No aiming, no charging!

Hundreds of crimson arrows burst forth from all directions!

These arrows are not corporeal.

So……

They can shift speed unpredictably, even change direction mid-air!

They anticipate your anticipation!

This is a karma killing formation capable of making any expert's scalp tingle!

"Hah!"

However.

Su Ming smiled.

He even closed his eyes.

In the instant before the arrow rain would strike him, he moved!

His form was ghostlike; his whole body shot forward like a cannonball, rushing violently in one direction!

His Fate Pocket Watch…

Let him evade these arrows, also tied to Karma…

Just like a game!

"What?!"

Amid the sky‑filled arrow rain, a startled shout rang out.

How could he possibly dodge…

And how could he possibly see through to where his true form lies?!

Puff!

Su Ming's Pinduoduo Battle Blade, cutting through the wind with a howl, precisely pierced the one in front of him!

Eye of Truth.

It doesn't matter whether you have clones!

In an instant, the arrow rain and over a hundred clones all dissipated.

Zhang Yi's figure shook violently, and his light dimmed.

He looked at Su Ming in disbelief.

Finally, it turned into a long sigh.

He looked up, his gaze falling on the blood‑red firmament.

"In my whole life, I have pacified the South, settled Liangzhou… yet always…"

"Can't see through it…"

Unable to see through this youngster's path, and even less able to see the fate of Shu Han back then.

In Xiao Suo's sigh, his figure likewise turned into a red dot, slowly retreating to the Gate.

"Who else?!"

Su Ming's voice was like Jinglei, shaking the entire blood‑red battlefield into a hum.

General?

It seemed even he couldn't get through a single turn!

He tilted his body slightly, stepped back two paces, and stood steadily beside the ever‑upright Han Flag.

The next second.

Bending down, he clenched the base of the flagpole with his right hand, thrusting his waist and abdomen!

Boom!

The flagpole he drove into the earth burst forth, scattering stones across the sky.

Whoosh—!

Holding the flag with one hand, he gave it a fierce shake; the pole pointed at the silent figures before the Gate, the flag flapping loudly.

"You all, do you still dare to bear resentment and charge out to battle with me?!"

"If you don't dare…"

He tightened his grip on the pole, stepped forward a few paces, and his eyes blazed with battle intent to the boiling point!

"I will use the Han Flag as my blade, crushing this Gate!"
