Woohoo...
The elephant then came to the giant Wuba's side, gently rolled it up, and placed it on its back.
The tiger and leopard howled and stared intently at Liu Xiu, assuming an attack stance.
At the same time, a strong wolf king with blood on its mouth arrived with its pack and launched a fearless charge against Liu Xiu.
Swish, swish, swish...
Twin blades flashed, and wolf corpses littered the ground!
Aww...
The tiger snapped off the head of the former clone's corpse with a loud thud!
"I'm really getting angry!" Liu Xiu roared, grabbing his twin swords and charging forward.
The three fierce beasts—the tiger, the wolf king, and the leopard—fought Liu Xiu together under the cover of the wolf pack. However, fearing the blade, the three beasts mostly dodged, and only the beast behind Liu Xiu dared to find an opportunity to approach and try to sneak up and bite him.
The swarm tactic couldn't kill Liu Xiu, but it didn't seem easy for him to break through the encirclement either.
At this moment, a strong black bear rushed out of the jungle and, under the cover of the wolf pack, pounced on Liu Xiu and gave him a real bear hug!
Liu Xiu swung his sword and killed the black bear, but the bear did not let go and continued to hold him tightly.
In that brief moment of stalemate, the leopard found an opportunity and bit Liu Xiu's ankle!
At the same time, the tiger pounced and bit Liu Xiu's arm, and several wolves also opened their bloody mouths and bit him.
The wolf king remained on the periphery of the battlefield, controlling the pack. Although it wanted to rush over and take a bite, it was clearly too late; the man would inevitably be torn to shreds by the pack.
However, the next second, Ju Wuba's eyes widened suddenly!
Click!
Snap!
...
The tiger's and leopard's teeth shattered instantly!
The wolves only managed to tear Liu Xiu's clothes!
Liu Xiu chuckled coldly, "Heh heh, the game ends here. With this move, I'll console Brother Xiang's spirit in heaven! Tornado!!!"
Swish, swish, swish...
Twin swords dance wildly, and beast corpses fill the sky!
Chapter 262 Annihilation
Tornadoes are terrifying natural disasters. Although the whirlwind created by Liu Xiu's move was far less spectacular than a real tornado, its destructive power was no less.
Because this tornado is made up of blades, it should actually be called a tornado blade!
Puff puff puff...
The nearest tiger and leopard were cut into pieces, and the entire pack of beasts that besieged Liu Xiu, except for the wolf king, did not survive; they died without a complete corpse!
Bang bang bang...
Body parts fell to the ground, followed by a shower of blood.
Liu Xiu slowly turned his head and looked at Ju Wuba. "It's your turn."
Woohoo...
With a neigh, the elephant turned and ran away carrying the giant beast, while the wolf king disappeared into the grass.
"Heh, you rat, do you think you can escape?" Liu Xiu smiled contemptuously. He did not immediately give chase, but instead quickly dug a rectangular pit half a zhang deep in the ground with his knife.
Then, his smile faded, and he slowly walked to Xiang Ji's corpse, picked up the head and body, placed them one by one into the pit, and buried them.
After doing all this, Liu Xiucai chose a direction and chased after it at an astonishing speed!
But it seems that wasn't the direction Ju Wuba had just fled.
Yes, it's actually quite easy to get lost in the mountains at night.
"Ahem, Xiuer, you're going the wrong way," a voice reminded her.
"I see..." Liu Xiu stopped abruptly, turned around, and chased after him at an even faster pace.
...
"What did you say?" Hao Jiu could hardly believe her ears.
"Liu Xiu suddenly appeared, avenged my clone, and even wiped out the beast horde with a single tornado attack. The black bear, tiger, and leopard were all wiped out, only the wolf king escaped. My clone is also running away on a giant elephant, I don't know if he can escape." Xiang Yu briefly repeated what he had just said.
That's right, the current Ju Wuba is Xiang Yu's new clone. Just as Shou Jun said, it's not difficult for a person in a mad state to possess another body.
"Liu Xiu really did follow the army, right?" Hao Jiu was now almost 100% certain that Liu Xiu had a system; otherwise, how could he be so powerful? With skin of copper and bones of iron, his twin swords could create a tornado-like effect—can you believe it?
“Well, he’s leading the army, so it’s impossible for him to turn back halfway unless he sneaks out of the camp after setting up camp at the designated location. Even so, it’s impossible for him to appear there in time, it’s just like…” Xiang Yu hesitated.
"Xiang Yu speaks frankly, and it doesn't matter if he's wrong," Hao Jiu encouraged.
"It was as if he was observing from the sidelines, waiting for my clone and Ju Wuba to settle their differences. My clone had just died when he appeared." Xiang Yu didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't help but suspect that Liu Xiu's arrival was too coincidental.
Hao Jiu chuckled, "I think it's not just a possibility, it's the truth. He probably already knows that there are other systems in this plane, and your spying in the dark last time aroused his suspicion. He also couldn't be sure which one, Xiang Ji or Ju Wuba, was the host, so he waited for the two of them to fight to the death before showing himself."
Furthermore, if Liu Xiu truly did follow the main army to Kunyang, his ability to appear so quickly and accurately at the site of the battle between Xiang Yu's clone and Ju Wuba suggests he possesses surveillance and high-speed movement capabilities. We must be extremely cautious.”
"Now that we've identified our target, should we fly over and kill him right now? It would also be a good opportunity to save my clone. Ju Wuba is physically strong, and a short-term possession won't have much of an impact on him. Stopping the bleeding should be enough to save him. Oh, by the way, Ju Wuba is different from ordinary people. His heart is on the right side, which is why that stab didn't kill him. He's truly an extraordinary person."
"We are still unsure how Liu Xiu got to Ziyun Mountain. If he flew there, it would be too dangerous for the black horse to reveal its flying ability."
Xiang Yu's fighting ability in the air was slightly weaker, and Wuzhui was just a horse that could fly. Even if he wore the horse armor given to him by An Qisheng, he would probably still be unable to withstand Liu Xiu's blade.
"If we rush to Ziyun Mountain, we probably won't gain much advantage. It would be better to wait for Liu Xiu to come to Kunyang, then launch a surprise attack on the battlefield and kill him with a single blow."
“The God of Wine is right. Let’s abandon Ju Wuba and wait for Liu Xiu in Kunyang.” Although Xiang Yu felt somewhat sorry for Ju Wuba, if saving Ju Wuba might endanger Wuzhui, it would be better not to save him.
"Don't give up! Liu Xiu hasn't caught up yet, has he? How is Ju Wuba's physical condition? Can he get off the elephant and run on his own?"
"I can run on my own, at most I'll just bleed a little more," Xiang Yu replied truthfully.
"Then let the elephants run in other directions to distract Liu Xiu, and your clones continue running towards the main camp. Isn't there Ju Wuba's army over there? Yes, and there's also the sea of snakes. Xiang Yu has now taken over Ju Wuba's body, so can you control the animals?"
Hao Jiu suddenly realized this crucial issue: if it were really possible, then this clone absolutely could not be abandoned, as it was an extremely powerful superpower.
"How do we control it?" Xiang Yu frowned.
Hao Jiu was taken aback. "Uh, why don't you try using your thoughts to control that elephant and make it turn around?"
"No, this elephant won't listen to me at all." Xiang Yu tried several times, but nothing worked.
"Then let's give up for now and study it again when we have the chance. If we successfully shake off Liu Xiu, we'll gather the army and return to Kunyang immediately. If Liu Xiu catches up with us and we die by his blade, then we'll continue to hide inside Ju Wuba's body and see clearly how Liu Xiu returns to the Kunyang camp."
Hao Jiu thought it best to be cautious; this time they'd met their match, a true clash of titans. Hosts like Liu Ji were incredibly rare; no wonder it was just a beginner's mission.
"Hiss... Oh no, Liu Xiu is catching up. He's running so fast. So he can't fly?" Xiang Yu felt a little better. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the ring-pommel sword, not caring about the bleeding.
"Hmm, it's also possible that the distance is too close for them to fly. Xiang Yu doesn't need to be in too much of a hurry; once his domineering aura is cultivated to an advanced level, he can fly too." Hao Jiu thought to himself that this was indeed a serious problem. What if they encountered a target host who could fly? How could they possibly fight back then?
Woohoo...
Even with the elephant running at full speed, it still couldn't match Liu Xiu's speed, but it was a real pity that it had been caught up now, as the main camp would be reached soon.
"Huh? There's an army ahead!" Xiang Yu was overjoyed and immediately ordered his clone to shout, "You all, come quickly to support this general!"
In the stillness of the night, Ju Wuba's shout carried far and wide, naturally reaching the ears of the soldiers at the front.
After following Ju Wuba into the path, the group encountered a wild beast not far away and were so frightened that they dared not go any further. However, they unexpectedly found Ju Wuba there.
"Let's go! Everyone, let's go and meet General Ju!"
"General Giant, we're here!"
...
Liu Xiu sneered, "You coward! Why don't you dare fight me with all your might! Do you think I wouldn't dare kill you just because others are here? What are you pretending for at a time like this? If you're so capable, then don't reveal your true strength!"
"If you've got the guts, let's meet on the battlefield of Kunyang! I'll take your head off in front of the whole world!" Ju Wuba retorted, turning around.
"Fine, block this attack first!" Liu Xiu said, striking a strange pose, twisting his upper body dramatically and raising both swords from his right side behind him, seemingly gathering power. "Have you ever heard of a flying slash? Take this, seventy-two..."
"careful!"
Just then, a white light flew from the tree next to him at an extremely fast speed toward Liu Xiu, and in the blink of an eye it hit Liu Xiu's neck. It was a white snake with its mouth wide open and fangs showing!
"Let it bite!" Liu Xiu finished charging his twin swords and suddenly swung them forward from behind, unleashing a massive crescent-shaped blue sword wave that flew straight towards Ju Wuba!
Click!
The white snake's fangs broke off, and even its entire head was smashed!
At the same time, the elephant also threw the giant Wuba into the crowd in front of it!
puff!
Whoosh... Boom!
The giant elephant let out a miserable roar and crashed to the ground, almost cleaved in two by the sword light!
Terrifying!
Chapter 263 Formidable Enemy
If Liu Xiu's killing of the golden leopard that night was unbelievable, and the previous tornado could be described as incredibly powerful, then how should we describe this sword strike that just now, which unleashed sword energy to instantly kill the target from a distance?
Terrifying?
"It's just flashy sword energy, you can achieve that with an overbearing aura too," Hao Jiu said sourly.
"It seems I haven't been cultivating hard enough. Even Liu Xiu has mastered the method of external projection." Xiang Yu clenched his fist.
"Well, that's not necessarily true. Perhaps Liu Xiu's system is very powerful. But if Xiang Yu could cultivate diligently, that would be even better, haha." Hao Jiu smiled awkwardly but politely, because his system was currently offering limited help to Xiang Yu.
"Liu Xiu spared Ju Wuba, but my divided soul still emerged from Ju Wuba's body," Xiang Yu suddenly said.
