Chapter 99

As the Ninger Sword danced in his hand, forming a sheet of sword light like a wheel of light, it sliced through most of the incoming crossbow bolts, and the last one was split into two halves from its tip.

With this move, Li Wucheng had been preparing for a long time. When he drew the sword, he felt a strange sense of enlightenment. The feel of the final strike was truly excellent.

A simple vertical slash, but it was the most profound use of the sword in all the time Li Wucheng had wielded it. Practice makes perfect, and it was not just empty words.

Having experienced several plot worlds, Li Wucheng gradually gained some insights into swordsmanship. Although his sword skills still did not match the blade techniques of the Blood Blade Old Ancestor, they had indeed made significant progress compared to before.

With one sword strike, Li Wucheng split all the crossbow bolts. He held the sword horizontally in front of him and said to Liu Hongjun, Zhao Dingkun, and the other trainees, "Longjun, Qiankun, do you still recognize me?"

The familiar voice made Liu Hongjun, Zhao Dingkun, Xiu Yongqing, and the others jump in surprise. After a careful look, they all shouted together, "Leng Xue!"

Each trainee entering the plot space would be given a makeover to fit the style of that world. Li Wucheng's appearance had undergone significant changes, and he now looked very different from the character in "The Book and the Sword."

"Who is Leng Xue?"

"Isn't he a character from the Four Great Detectives?"

One of the trainees asked in surprise.

Fang Junjie enthusiastically replied, "This Leng Xue is not the disciple of Zhuge Zhengwo from the Four Great Detectives. He is also a trainee, the first one, and the guide for me, Longjun, Qiankun, and others."

"So impressive?!"

The trainee was greatly surprised and asked, "Weren't you the first batch to enter the main god space?"

Fang Junjie said, "Not the first batch, at most the second. The first batch might have only Leng Xue."

"Is that so? Could it be that Leng Xue has some connection with the main god space?"

The trainee's eyes flashed, and he speculated.

Fang Junjie thought for a moment and said, "It's quite possible. The first one to enter the main god space might have some advantages. At least, his skills when he guided us were not weak."

"I didn't expect him to join Cao Cao's side. We're in trouble this time. But that's not right; he wasn't here when we entered."

"It might not be that troublesome. No matter how strong he is, he's only one person. We have so many people; we can't lose to him."

The trainee said, unwilling to back down.

Fang Junjie's face turned serious, "It's hard to say. He is the first one to enter the main god space, and we don't know how many advantages he has. It would be unwise to rashly conflict with him."

The trainees were whispering among themselves, but Li Wucheng paid no attention. He nodded slightly to Liu Hongjun and Zhao Dingkun and smiled faintly, "It's rare that you still recognize me."

After confirming it was Li Wucheng, Liu Hongjun's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Brother Leng, why are you here? Could it be that you have joined Cao Cao's side?"

Li Wucheng shook his head. Before the joy on Liu Hongjun, Zhao Dingkun, and Xiu Yongqing's faces could show, he added, "Although I haven't joined Cao Cao's side, I must protect his life. Therefore, I cannot allow you to kill him."

"Why is that?"

Zhao Dingkun was puzzled and tried to persuade, "Brother Leng, since you haven't joined Cao Cao's side, why don't you join us? If we kill Cao Cao, we will definitely benefit, and you will get a share."

"Qiankun, how can that be..."

A trainee was dissatisfied and quickly protested.

Before he could finish, Zhao Dingkun interrupted, "Shut up!"

Even Liu Hongjun showed a look of dissatisfaction, glaring fiercely at the young man, who trembled and quickly shut up.

"Brother Leng, I agree with what Qiankun said. As long as you join our side, you don't need to take action, and you will still get a share of the rewards."

Liu Hongjun reaffirmed.

Liu Hongjun and Zhao Dingkun's behavior revealed their fear of Li Wucheng. Even if the other trainees were slow, they could sense something was wrong. The atmosphere became tense as they waited for Li Wucheng's answer.

"Immortal, you must not be swayed by their words. As long as you protect my safety, when I return to Xuchang, I can petition the emperor to appoint you as the national master."

Cao Cao was in a hurry and quickly said.

Hearing Li Wucheng's conversation with the others, Cao Cao automatically assumed that the other side was a cultivator sent by Liu Bei to deal with him, and he was greatly alarmed and terrified.

Although Cao Cao was not afraid of such a transcendent being, he felt some apprehension and unease at the moment. To save his life, he did not hesitate to beg.

Nodding to Cao Cao, Li Wucheng replied to Liu Hongjun and Zhao Dingkun, "Longjun, Qiankun, it's not that I want to lose face with you, but your actions have crossed the line. In this world, the fate of the land is concentrated in Cao Cao, and he cannot die. Therefore, I was sent by the higher-ups to stop you and protect Cao Cao."

Li Wucheng's words were like a thunderclap, shocking the trainees. Liu Hongjun and Zhao Dingkun were startled and shouted, "Impossible, the space would not interfere in such matters."

"Leng Xue, are you lying to us?"

In the minds of the trainees, the main god space was almost a god-like existence. Although they did not know what the main god space was, its power and mystery were undeniable.

Hearing that Li Wucheng was sent by the main god space, Liu Hongjun and the others could not remain calm. However, with the goal almost within reach, they were unwilling to give up halfway.

As the undisputed protagonist of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" plot world, the trainees had already fantasized about the rewards they would gain after killing Cao Cao. How could they be willing to give up such a beautiful dream?

Li Wucheng said calmly, "What I said is true. In fact, I was not supposed to enter the space battlefield. It was only because of your reckless actions that I accepted the mission to stop you. So, you should give up."

Hearing this, Liu Hongjun's heart sank. Having read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" thoroughly, he knew about Cao Cao's ordeal at Huarong Road. He had devised a plan and convinced Zhao Dingkun, Jingwei, and Fan Qi to join forces to ambush Cao Cao.

To achieve this plan, Liu Hongjun had made many promises and put in a lot of effort. Seeing success within reach, Li Wucheng's intervention was a bitter pill to swallow.

His face darkened, and Liu Hongjun roared, "Give up? Impossible! I finally cornered Cao Cao here. With one charge, I can kill him. At this moment, you tell me to give up? How can that be!"

The others' expressions were also not good, but they were not as extreme as Liu Hongjun. Their eyes flickered, weighing their options.
