Chapter 1005: Yan Liang and Wen Chou
September 25, 2017
Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong, as Lu Bu's comrades-in-arms, were undoubtedly well-acquainted with his capabilities.
They were fully aware of the power of Lu Bu's armor and the terrifying attacks that could still harm him even while wearing it.
On the surface, it appeared that Lu Bu had swept Huang Zhong aside with a single halberd, dominating the battle. However, in reality, Lu Bu was the one at a disadvantage.
If Huang Zhong had recovered and launched a counterattack, Lu Bu would have been in serious trouble, even if he didn't die.
And if Lu Bu were defeated, who among them could withstand Huang Zhong's great saber?
After Xu Rong's nod, nearly all the martial generals with a strength of 90 or above on Emperor's Tyrant's side rushed forward.
These individuals clearly intended to seize the opportunity to capture Huang Zhong, a formidable enemy general.
Emperor's Tyrant deployed five martial generals with a strength of 90: Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji, Li Jue, and Niu Fu.
They boldly and aggressively intervened in the battle, taking advantage of Lu HaiKong's deployment of elite troops to Youzhou, leaving this side with few elite soldiers to counter their numbers.
"So, you have a general who can hold off Lu Bu, and perhaps even defeat him. But what of it? Huang Zhong is formidable, but he's still just one man. Defeating Lu Bu is already a tall order, let alone taking on all six of us!"
Emperor's Tyrant was unconcerned about any potential reinforcements from Lu HaiKong's side.
"You've sent your forces to Youzhou, and here we have Huang Zhong. Do you have another exceptional general up your sleeve? Even if you do, can they match our numbers? That's impossible!"
With this confidence, Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong, with sinister smiles, charged towards Lu Bu, ready to finish off Huang Zhong, who had just recovered.
However, before they could reach him, two formidable auras suddenly emerged from beneath Dingyang City.
These auras immediately captured the attention of Zhang Xiu and the others. Outside the city, two formidable generals appeared, one wielding a long spear and the other a great saber, riding on azure and purple mounts. Who else could they be but Yan Liang and Wen Chou?
"Well, well, Lu HaiKong's forces are indeed brimming with talent, even boasting two formidable generals!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiu and the others smirked, showing no signs of nervousness. What's the big deal about a couple more generals? They had six on their side, and even if there was a slight disparity in strength, surely two against one was still a winning proposition.
With this optimistic mindset, Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong charged towards Huang Zhong without hesitation.
"What's this? Can't handle it alone, so you gang up on me? Fine, I'll play along!"
Huang Zhong, having just recovered, faced the five generals led by Zhang Xiu with a calm demeanor, despite his trembling hand. He brandished the mysterious ancient blade, ready to engage them.
"Ignorant fools!" Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong scoffed, their auras surging as they prepared to unleash their full power. Huang Zhong, on the other side, was also poised to counter their attack.
"General Huang, might I and my brother take on this task?" Wen Chou's voice called out from behind.
Huang Zhong paused, about to respond, when he suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if sensing something.
"Interesting. Very well, this battle is yours!"
Without further ado, Huang Zhong, who had been ready to fight Zhang Xiu and the others, turned and fled.
This sudden turn of events left Zhang Xiu and his companions momentarily stunned. They couldn't fathom how Huang Zhong, who had been prepared to fight to the death just moments ago, had suddenly retreated.
However, Huang Zhong's attempt to flee was met with swift pursuit. They brandished their weapons, determined to cut him down from his horse.
As for Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were charging towards them, Zhang Xiu and his group paid them no heed.
They sensed that these two generals' strength was on par with Hua Xiong, perhaps slightly higher, but not to the point of concern.
"Well, well, they seem to underestimate us," Wen Chou remarked to Yan Liang as they approached.
His words were spoken with a smile, but his eyes were cold, betraying his displeasure.
Yan Liang, on the other hand, laughed heartily. "No worries, they'll soon fear us!"
As he spoke, their auras surged once more. Wen Chou's long spear and Yan Liang's great saber intertwined, and visible to the naked eye, their inner strength manifested as a tangible force.
Wen Chou's azure Inner Strength and Yan Liang's purple Inner Strength intertwined, these two vastly different attributes unexpectedly harmonized at this moment.
In the instant their Inner Strength merged, the aura of Yan Liang and Wen Chou skyrocketed. Their strength, originally around 95, surged to a level close to 99. At this moment, a terrifying power seemed to be brewing above their heads.
"As expected, these two kids have compatible attributes. I never thought that their combined efforts could unleash such a terrifying aura. This battle is as good as won!"
As Yan Liang and Wen Chou's auras soared, Huang Zhong brushed past them, nodding briefly before confidently entering Ding Yang City.
By now, Huang Zhong was well aware that this battle was all but decided.
Indeed, the moment Yan Liang and Wen Chou's Inner Strength fused and their auras erupted, Zhang Xiu and his men were left dumbfounded.
Damn it! Is this even fair? They're even using cheats now? How are we supposed to fight them?
A deep sense of defeat washed over them. Initially, they had thought that Lu Bu alone would be enough to overturn the entire battlefield.
But Lu Bu had nearly been defeated by Huang Zhong, and although they had their elite troops in Youzhou, the enemy had Yan Liang and Wen Chou, whose ultimate moves had directly shattered their confidence.
It wasn't that they were cowards; it was just that when the enemy unleashed their power, it was like facing two Lu Bus. How could they possibly fight such opponents?
In the 6, 9, 1, and 8 version of the book!
However, just as they hesitated about whether to retreat, Lu Bu seemed to recover from Huang Zhong's attack. Seeing Yan Liang and Wen Chou's soaring aura and Zhang Xiu's hesitation, he flew into a rage.
"What are you afraid of? They're just two guys. Take them down!"
As he spoke, Lu Bu raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji, and Qing Zhi under him exhaled two streams of azure smoke from its nostrils. Lu Bu charged at Yan Liang and Wen Chou with full speed.
Witnessing this, Zhang Xiu and the others felt ashamed.
They were martial generals, soldiers of Dong Zhuo, yet they were hesitant to face powerful opponents.
Watching Lu Bu charge forward without hesitation, Zhang Xiu and the others seemed to understand why, despite being humans and even having a renowned teacher, they could never catch up to Lu Bu in the Martial Way. Perhaps the biggest difference was this courage to face challenges head-on.
Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, and the others exchanged glances, seeing in each other's eyes the rekindled flame of a martial general's unyielding fighting spirit.
"Let's go. We'll cut off these two brutes' heads and bring them back as trophies!"
Several martial generals nodded, tightening their grip on their weapons, ready to assist Lu Bu.
But at that moment, two roars echoed.
"Wind Deity Spear!"
"Cloud Deity Saber!"
Immediately, Zhang Xiu and the others felt a powerful aura surge, and everyone sensed something was amiss. They turned to look in the direction of Lu Bu and Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
What they saw was Lu Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji clashing with Yan Liang and Wen Chou's weapons.
Then, everything went dark.
On one hand, the light from their clash was too dazzling, and on the other, the power of their collision was terrifying, creating a cloud of dust and a blinding flash.
By the time Zhang Xiu and the others regained their senses, they could only see Lu Bu being blasted back, landing a dozen meters in front of them. Qing Zhi beneath him had been reduced to a meat paste, and Lu Bu's armor was shattered, leaving him in a pitiful state.
Witnessing this, Zhang Xiu and his men were stunned. The fighting spirit they had barely mustered was now completely extinguished, replaced by a chilling fear.
"Retreat!"
Zhang Xiu and the others looked at each other, completely demoralized. Without a word, they rushed forward, picked up Lu Bu, and turned to flee. They weren't going to risk their lives when even someone as fearless as Lu Bu was in such a state.
As they ran, they felt the aura behind them had diminished significantly, but they didn't dare look back.
Damn it! Huang Zhong was strong, but after fighting for so long, he hadn't inflicted much damage on Lu Bu. Yet, those two buddies combined their powers and with a single attack, they reduced Lu Bu to this pitiful state. How terrifying were these two?
