The land of Bashu is characterized by continuous mountain ranges, tall trees, dense forests, and steep, treacherous terrain. A hundred li east of Chengdu lies a perilous canyon accessible only by three roads. Both sides are sheer cliffs hundreds of feet high. These three roads converge at a fork in the canyon, which Liu Yan named Three-Legged Cliff, signifying that the fate of Marquis Dingshan would be sealed here. This was also the only route Wang Han could take to reach Chengdu.
On the Three-Legged Cliff, soldiers busily pushed boulders, spread out large nets, and prepared oil, powerful bows, and crossbows. More than 20,000 musketeers also carefully cleaned their muskets, making preparations.
Outside the canyon, a large number of alien races and soldiers quietly gathered in the dense forest, waiting for the signal to attack. They would risk their lives to stop the legendary invincible Marquis Dingshan from breaking out of the canyon.
To ensure absolute safety, Liu Yan had deployed all available resources, with 180,000 heavily armed troops forming an inescapable net. The pervasive atmosphere of death was so intense that even birds dared not fly by and mosquitoes dared not buzz.

"My lord, a scout reports that Marquis Dingshan is about to reach the canyon." On the cliff, Zhang Lu, having received the message from the scout, rushed to Liu Yan's side and said.
"Hahaha... What a perfect timing! Heaven is on my side!" Liu Yan burst into laughter upon hearing this. "I was worried that Marquis Dingshan would be sightseeing all the way here, and that it would take too long for someone to discover that we had set up an ambush here and inform him. I didn't expect that he would arrive just as we were preparing."
"It seems he's destined to die here." Zhang Lu laughed upon hearing this. As long as Marquis Dingshan arrives at the crossroads, they are absolutely certain they can kill him here.
………………………………………………
"Birds don't fly over, beasts vanish without a trace, and mosquitoes don't buzz. It wasn't in vain that I gave you so much time to prepare within the limited time I had." Wang Han murmured, looking at the entrance to the canyon.
How could Wang Han not know that a large army was lying in ambush here? Not only was there a chilling atmosphere in the canyon, but not all the confidants of the various lords and powerful clans were completely loyal to them. Even if they kept it a secret, some people had already leaked the news and informed him. In fact, Wang Han already knew about their every move.
The united resistance of the feudal lords and powerful clans was exactly what Wang Han hoped to see. He even deliberately traveled around sightseeing during his limited time to give them time to rebel.
“After today, you can’t follow me anymore. If you continue to follow me, you’ll die at any time. Now, you’re free.” Wang Han patted the white rhinoceros beside him, removed the saddle from its back, and untied its reins.
The white rhinoceros looked at Wang Han and affectionately nuzzled his hand with its head, expressing its reluctance to part with him and hoping that Wang Han would not abandon it. After all, this white rhinoceros was a tribute, and Wang Han had trained it for nearly ten years, so it was quite intelligent. When Wang Han untied its reins, it understood that Wang Han wanted it to leave.
"Let's go." Patting the white rhinoceros's head, Wang Han picked up his weapon and headed into the canyon. Today, Wang Han would try to deceive the will of the Three Kingdoms world. If he could, he would have more time to make arrangements; if not, he would resolve as many problems as possible as quickly as possible. As for the feudal lords and powerful clans, regardless of whether he had deceived the world's will, he had already prepared a backup plan. After today, no matter what, the feudal lords and powerful clans from various regions would be utterly defeated. Their different perspectives and understandings of the times had made them overlook the most important thing after the reforms. His reforms, which had lasted for so long, had not been in vain, and the god-making plan was nearing completion.

Three-Legged Cliff, the three-way intersection of the canyon. When Wang Han reached the intersection, clusters of shadows suddenly appeared overhead, and the ground all around him was covered with clusters of shadows.
Looking up slightly, Wang Han saw stones, each two or three meters in diameter, being pushed off the cliff.
"Are you afraid the stones are too small to kill me?" Wang Han remained calm as he watched the boulders falling from the sky. He opened and closed his hands, and a miniature brass hammer appeared in each hand. These were miniature versions of the Thunder Drum Golden Hammer, Wang Han's spare weapons.
"Hardness Enhancement, Giantization." With two cheat codes activated in quick succession, the miniature hammer in his hand instantly grew to the size of a millstone. However, this time, the Golden Hammer of the Drum was much harder than before.
Wang Han's gaze fell on the boulder that was about to crash down on his head. He tightened his grip on the hammer handle and moved, activating both his strength and speed boosts simultaneously.
With a loud "bang... boom..." the boulder that had fallen on Wang Han shattered into dust.
Wang Han moved with the speed of a soaring eagle and the agility of a swallow, dodging and weaving through the constantly falling boulders. His massive hammer moved like a whirlwind, each swing easily shattering the rocks hurtling towards him. He navigated the relentless barrage of falling boulders with effortless ease.
…………………………………………
Looking at Wang Han, who was moving with ease along the cliff, Zhang Lu couldn't help but sigh, "He truly deserves to be called the strongest man in the world. He can easily shatter such a huge rock with a single blow, and he can also handle our ambush with ease."
“Indeed.” A foreign general beside Liu Yan nodded and said, “The legend is indeed true. The pair of golden hammers in the hands of Marquis Dingshan must weigh ten thousand jin. He can swing a pair of hammers so easily and smash a boulder to pieces. His strength must be one hundred thousand jin. There is absolutely no general in the world who can withstand a single blow from his hammer.”
"Compared to these, what I care more about is where Marquis Dingshan got those two great hammers from." Liu Yan said solemnly, "I didn't see him carrying those great hammers when he entered the canyon, and those great hammers weigh tens of thousands of catties. Even his white-armored divine rhinoceros couldn't have carried them that far."
The alien general said impatiently, "Why think so much? Killing Marquis Dingshan is more important now. He has already fallen into our ambush and has no way to escape. If we put in a little more effort, we can kill him."
"Killing Marquis Dingshan is more important right now." Liu Yan nodded upon hearing this and ordered, "Pour in the kerosene."
"yes."
On the cliff, the soldiers pushed large vats filled with kerosene to the edge of the cliff and then lit them.
"Push..." With Zhang Lu's command, waterfalls of fire cascaded down the cliff, turning the sky above the canyon crimson.
