Chapter 695: Mutual Harm
Sima Xiangru knew that Zhao Gao had the ability to touch the underlying rules, but he still ambushed him on the way to leave Chang'an, on the one hand, he naturally had to do it because of the shortcomings of his own rules, and on the other hand, it was also the way of civil and military affairs given to him by the two emperors of the Han Dynasty.
This was the highest rule in the entire world, and it was beyond the scope of Sima Xiangru's comprehension and application, and belonged to the primitive part of the underlying rules that he would basically never touch. This powerful ability is not only the reason why he has enough confidence in himself, but also causes him great trouble at this time.
In short, using these two rules that were beyond his ability would put a great strain on his body. As a price, it is no longer Sima Xiangru's ability that urges these two rules, but his constantly burning vitality.
In this sense, if he couldn't crush it quickly, as long as either of these two battles reached a stalemate, Sima Xiangru would have lost cleanly. This is the fundamental reason why he has two rules that he believes must be undefeated, but in the end he only has a 50% chance of winning.
However, what he didn't expect was that neither Mai Linglong nor Zhao Gao were obviously satisfied with this level of victory, and Sima Xiangru himself was actually regarded as one of the targets.
When Zhao Gao rushed back and forth in the country of nothingness, Mai Linglong had already forced Sima Xiangru into a desperate situation.
On the scene, Mai Linglong is still at an absolute disadvantage. The light that bloomed from the Divine Turtle Sword was as brilliant as it was at the beginning, and thousands of golden turtles were layered on top of each other, from rules to entities, firmly enveloping Mai Linglong around her. Even if there is only such a wisp of Emperor Wen's way, it is not something that Mai Linglong can resist alone.
In contrast, the streamer of the same Emperor Sword had been dull and discolored in several encounters, leaving only a little white afterglow suppressed around the sword body, and the immature sword spirit was already dying, and had to make a final struggle in vain.
On Mai Linglong's body, most of the gold equipment and silver plot equipment were difficult to withstand this level of attack. Originally, the armor that had been broken once under the attack of the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian and was barely repaired suffered serious damage this time, and after this battle, I am afraid that even if it can be repaired, the attributes and durability will be permanently reduced. In particular, the Helm of Pride and the Silk Skirt had cracked and cracked on their bodies after resisting the damage caused by the Golden Turtle several times.
Under this kind of attack, the most injured person is actually Mai Linglong herself. Within a small circle around her, it was already covered in a reddish and slightly fishy rain of blood. Part of this is the sweat that she has shed with her hard work, and more part is the blood that has flowed out after multiple injuries to her body. The two were so mixed that it was hard to tell how many times she had been injured.
All of this was to be expected, the only difference was that Mai Linglong's fighting spirit was so strong that it was difficult for him to look at it directly.
Sima Xiangru even gradually felt that with Mai Linglong's physical injury, her combat effectiveness increased instead of decreasing - she could only fight back once with seven or eight swords, but gradually turned into three swords and one sword, and by the time she was covered in blood and condensed into a ball, she was already on par with herself on the scene. The majesty of the Divine Turtle Sword was so powerful that this fierce woman used her body to kill a bloody path.
At this time, Sima Xiangru was actually already riding a tiger. Even if he was thirst-quenching and couldn't bear to be tired at all, he had to rely on the power of the urn of cloudy wine that had been prepared on the table to support himself.
There is no way back in the process of pursuing the avenue, and since Sima Xiangru can stand here, he has already had such an awareness in his heart.
Although this realization is so desperate.
Compared with the sword fighting of life and death in the pavilion, the battle in the land of nothingness turned all his hopes into extravagant hopes.
The result of this battle was actually clear when Zhao Gao completely formed that strong army, and in the subsequent battle, it was actually Zhao Gao and Sima Xiangru fighting for control of this world.
When Zhao Gao used Meng Buxu to lead the army to break through the defense line he had carefully set up, Sima Xiangru had already lost control of the world.
In other words, when the rules of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were integrated, he had already lost his dominance over this world, and under the power of the Emperor, he was just a vassal, temporarily using his second authority to master the basic laws of the operation of this world.
He was quite proficient in military skills, and he used almost all his strength to set a perfect trap, so that Zhao Gao was surrounded from the beginning.
Tactically speaking, Sima Xiangru has tried his best to completely avoid the possibility of being gradually eroded by the opponent, and strives to complete the battle when the opponent's foothold is not stable. Strategically, however, Zhao Gao's strength, which he underestimated from the beginning (even if he had actually overestimated it as much as possible), made this seemingly perfect plan look more like a joke.
Zhao Gao, who completely unleashed his ability, easily tore through the cage that he thought was unbreakable. And once he broke out of the encirclement, thousands of miles into the country of nothingness, Zhao Gao only needed to lead the army back and forth to raid and implicate, and he could drag Sima Xiangru to death.
After all, with his current physical condition, he probably can't support such a huge consumption in this world.
The situation of Sima Xiang at this time can be said to be extremely embarrassing, but this is by no means the most acceptable result.
"I have paid such a big price, how can I give you half of the possibility of getting out?" Zhao Gao, who had already seen that Sima Xiangru was afraid, also gritted his teeth, he showed too many hole cards this time, and he lost too much, and it was unbearable.
Sima Xiangru used the full strength of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to strike, without paying the price of a little blood, how could he be so easy to dodge?
In an encirclement that overlaps and does not have any room for manoeuvre, almost every layer that is broken can only be filled with human lives. Even with the mutual support of Meng Buhou's magical aura skills and the expertise of the peasant troops, only three of the remaining seven leaders of the beggar army still survived, and the remaining four people even took Zhang Er, Zhang San, Zhang Si, and two-thirds of the beggar army and all the Beifu army were brutally consumed in the breakthroughs again and again.
Meng's refusal is only a temporary freeze of the right to use, and it cannot be summoned in the short term; Zhang Er, Zhang, Zhang, and Zhang, as the summoned units, only lost part of the rules in this opponent's world, resulting in a permanent level drop, and there may not be no way to make up for it in the future; But the four leaders of the beggar army, their rules have all been broken and integrated into the whole world, which is equivalent to permanent disappearance.
The seven people that Zhao Gao saved at a huge price actually lost more than half of them at one time.
"Since your world dares to eat my people, then this world must have the consciousness of being eaten by me." Zhao Gao, who felt that he had suffered a big loss and was angry, was often calmer than ever. He forcibly pressed his head, put all the negative emotions into a corner of his mind that would never be involved, and then rubbed his hands vigorously, and smiled low at a certain place in the sky:
"I don't care who you are, since you're going to test it, then next, it's my turn to make a move!"
PS: Wouldn't it be too shameless to count the plus.
