Cao Yu, anyone who went to junior high school should know this person and his famous saying, "The first spurt of energy will weaken, and the third will be exhausted."
"This Cao Yu!
Is this the effect of his skill?!
Let This Emperor guess! "
The Jade Emperor said while panting, "The effect of his skill is to reduce the enemy's strength by three times, and increase his own strength by three times. In total, it's a total of nine times!
Am I right?! "
"Do I still need you to guess?
Could it be that our Jade Emperor still can't feel his own strength weakening? "
Wu Zetian sneered, her face filled with an insolent smile … Mocking the Jade Emperor to her heart's content was Wu Zetian's dream. She had been waiting for this day for 800 years.
"Of course I don't need to guess!
I just didn't expect that a puny Cao Yu would actually be a Prehistoric Yuan Kou, causing us to fall into such a trap! "The Jade Emperor said in annoyance. This was also the biggest doubt in his heart.
He knew about Cao Yu's story. He had only commanded a small battle with no more than 30,000 people. Although he had left the famous saying in history, he did not have a high reputation. If such a guy became a Yuan Kou, he would at most be a Dragon Yuan Kou. How could he become a Prehistoric Yuan Kou?
"Hahaha!
Haotian, I didn't expect you to deceive others and deceive yourself. Who told you that Mister Cao Yu was a Prehistoric Yuan Kou? How could that Cao Yu be a Prehistoric Yuan Kou! "
Wu Zetian laughed even more exaggeratedly, "To tell you the truth, Mister Cao Yu is only a Tiger Yuan Kou!"
"What!
That's impossible, how could he be a tiger-level Yuanbandit?
The Jade Emperor howled in disbelief. "I'm a dignified Celestial Emperor, a prehistoric expert, an existence that can suppress the entire world. How could a mere tiger-level bandit affect me?"
The Jade Emperor's disbelief wasn't fake. He was truly shocked by the news.
On one side was the weakest Tiger-Class Yuan Kou, who was equivalent to an Ancient Sword Tier. On the other side was the incomparably powerful Prehistoric Tier Yuan Kou. Even if hundreds of thousands of Tiger-Class Yuan Kou attacked the Jade Emperor at the same time, the Jade Emperor would not be harmed at all … and their skills would be directly nullified by the huge difference in realm between the two … a Tiger-Class Yuan Kou's skill would not be able to affect a Prehistoric Tier Yuan Kou!
Therefore, the Jade Emperor did not believe that he would be affected by a tiger-grade Yuan Kou's skill.
"Haotian!
You think you're so knowledgeable and know everything in the world. Don't you know that there are military skills in the world? "Wu Zetian coldly laughed.
"Military skills!" The Jade Emperor was stunned, but he immediately reacted.
This Military Influence skill referred to the skill that could affect two different armies … This skill was effective against the military strength of both sides. As long as the military strength of both sides was in a relatively stable state, this skill would be effective and would not be affected by the strength of the individual.
"I see!"
The Jade Emperor smiled bitterly and nodded. He finally understood why a puny Tiger-Class Yuan Kou's skill could be effective against him. Although the Heavenly Court's army looked much stronger than Yuan Kou's army, both sides were actually evenly matched in terms of high-level combat power. Moreover, there was an extra six Great Sages. When added to the army, the strength of both sides was barely maintained at a state of equilibrium. That was why Cao Yu's Military Skill could be effective.
"To activate the Military Skill, one needs to meet a rather harsh condition. Is the condition for Cao Yu's Military Skill to be activated by us losing three battles?"
The Jade Emperor was not stupid. In fact, he was a little puzzled at the beginning. Why did the six Great Sages insist on fighting him three times? However, he quickly threw these doubts to the back of his mind. Now that he thought about it, it was probably a trap that they had dug for him.
"That's right!
In order to activate Cao Yu's Military Skill, two conditions must be met! "
Wu Zetian raised two fingers and said, "First, there will be three duels between the generals of the two armies, and one side must win all of them!"
"Second, after the two armies start fighting, one army must defeat the enemy's main force within an hour. Moreover, it must be an absolute defeat!"
"Only when these two conditions are met can Cao Yu's Military Skill be activated. Otherwise, it will be useless!"
"I understand!" The Jade Emperor nodded emotionally. "The first spurt of energy, the second decline, and the third exhaustion!
Also, I see their ruts in chaos, and their flags in defeat, so I expel them.
I remember these two sentences, but I never thought that I would be defeated by them! "
"A man's battle requires courage.
The first spurt of energy, the second decline, and the third exhaustion.
When the enemy is exhausted, I am full, so I subdue them.
A great country is unpredictable, and there is fear in it.
I see their ruts in chaos, and their flags in defeat, so I expel them. "
This was a rather famous speech by Cao Yu in the history books. It also contained his life's military principles, as well as the triggering conditions for his [Army Force] skill. Cao Yu's [Army Force] skill could only be triggered when he defeated his opponent three times in a row and utterly crushed his opponent.
"So all of your initial show of weakness was just an act for me. Whether it was asking for allegiance or the position of Celestial Emperor, it was all to cover up your true motive for initiating the battle. No wonder you agreed to my request after winning two battles in a row and continued with the third battle … I didn't expect this to be your true motive. This is in line with your intentions!
Right! "The Jade Emperor said bitterly.
"That's right!
Hao Tian!
You're right!
You're an idiot. To think that you still dare to sit on the position of Celestial Emperor. You're a complete idiot for jumping into the trap we've set for you. There's no one more idiotic than you in this world! "
Wu Zetian mocked wantonly, and the Jade Emperor's expression turned as ugly as dried soy sauce.
"Fine, I was careless and fell into the trap of you sinister and vicious villains. You despicable villains!
Shameless! "
At this moment, the Jade Emperor seemed to have no other way to deal with the situation other than calling them shameless.
"Hao Tian!
You can say other things, but you can't call us despicable people. You can't call us shameless either, because you're the most shameless one! "
When Heaven's Equal Jiandi heard the Jade Emperor's insults, he walked out and scolded sternly, "If you, Hao Tian, had followed the rules and admitted defeat after we won two battles, sending us to the position of Celestial Emperor, we wouldn't have had a reason to proceed with the third battle!"
"Hao Tian!
The reason why you lost was not because of the trap we set for you, but because you're a shameless bastard.
You're the one who trampled on the promise and contract we made. You tore up your integrity, and your mind is filled with violence and treachery. If you had kept even a little bit of your promise, Cao Yu's Military Force would not have been triggered! "
"The one who really destroyed the Heavenly Court's army was not us, but you. The moment you chose to abandon your promise, you were destined to fail!" Heaven's Equal Jiandi's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into the Jade Emperor's heart.
Although the Jade Emperor wanted to refute Heaven's Equal Jiandi's words, he knew very well that what Heaven's Equal Jiandi said was the truth. If he kept his promise and allowed the six Great Sages to ascend to the position of Celestial Emperor after Yuan Kou won two battles, then Cao Yu's Military Force would lose all conditions to trigger.
The six Great Sages were taking a gamble. They bet that he would break his promise and walk into their trap.
In the end, they won the gamble. He really became the fool and stepped into the trap that they had set in advance.
"Big brother, save me!"
Just as the Jade Emperor thought of this, a door suddenly opened in the void beside him. Qing Emperor Shaohao, who was covered in blood, struggled to return to his brother's side.
His body had already been pierced over a hundred times, and golden blood was constantly flowing out of the wounds. His entire person had become extremely weak.
"Shaohao!
How did you become like this?
There isn't even a single Prehistoric Realm expert down there. Even if your strength has been reduced by three times, how did you end up like this by those trash? "Seeing Qing Emperor Shaohao on the verge of death, the Emperor Great Emperor said angrily and painfully.
"It's gone … Big brother … it's all gone!"
Qing Emperor Shaohao spat out a mouthful of golden blood and said in a sobbing voice, "Our 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are all gone!
They were all killed. I was besieged by all the Yuan Kou on the ground. That Military Governor, that Liunian Ling, and that Artoria … Their strength has been increased by three times. I'm really no match for them … "At this point, Shaohao spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
With Shaohao's return, the Yuan Kou on the ground burst into cheers, celebrating their victory.
Military Governor, Lu Ban, Liunian Ling, and Artoria all flew to the battlefield in the sky and surrounded the five Celestial Emperors of the Heavenly Court … At this moment, there were only five people left on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty!
We can't delay any longer!
Let's escape! "
Seeing that the situation was extremely bad, Scarlet Emperor South Pole Immortal Weng felt helpless. In the end, he tried to persuade the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, let's immediately escape in different directions. How many of us can escape counts?
As long as we can preserve the Heavenly Court's inheritance, we haven't lost! "
South Pole Immortal Weng was right. They had indeed reached the point where they could escape as many as they could.
In a situation where their strength had been reduced by three times, it was impossible for all five of them to escape. They could only escape in different directions through the void. This way, the six Great Sages would have to split into three teams to chase after them … At least two Celestial Emperors would survive!
Heavenly Court!
To think that he was already in such a miserable state!
