Chapter 1102: Breaking the City
Chapter 1102: Breaking the City
September 27, 2017
Youzhou, Lingzhi City!
When Pei Yuanying stood up once more, Lu Hai Kong's full attention was on him.
There was no other way; Pei Yuanying was simply too captivating at this moment.
From the moment he stood, a faint roar of beasts seemed to surround Pei Yuanying, a deep and terrifying sound. Anyone could tell it was the roar of the Dragon Elephant Art.
This sound, as Pei Yuanying's natural theme, was awe-inspiring in itself, and it was accompanied by an aura so formidable that it was beyond comprehension.
When this scene unfolded, anyone could tell that Pei Yuanying had definitely gone beyond the limits.
As Lu Hai Kong felt the power of that man, his eyes narrowed involuntarily. Although his face remained expressionless, his heart was filled with awe. Amidst this awe, Lu Hai Kong gained a deeper understanding of Pei Yuanying's situation.
"What formidable power! This must be the true meaning of breaking through 100 in combat strength!"
Although Lu Hai Kong had witnessed combat strength surpassing 100 on more than one occasion, and had even broken through 100 himself several times, he was well aware that the so-called 'breaking 100' he had seen, whether in himself or others, was not truly breaking 100. At best, they could only be considered as having mastered the power of breaking 100.
Mastering the power of breaking 100 and truly breaking 100 were two different concepts.
The former represented power, and that power was not fully controllable, while the latter represented a realm!
For example, Lu Hai Kong had previously defeated Wei Chigong, who had a combat strength of 103, but Wei Chigong couldn't even unleash 10% of his full potential. In contrast, Pei Yuanying was truly at the level of breaking 100, able to utilize 100% of his combat strength, or even more. Although they seemed to have a gap in combat strength, they were in completely different realms when it came to true combat prowess.
Lu Hai Kong had known this from the start, but he initially thought that Pei Yuanying hanging in there against Huang Zhong and Dian Wei was already his full strength. However, the truth proved that Lu Hai Kong had overestimated the situation, as the true power of breaking 100 was far more terrifying than he had anticipated.
This level of power was probably approaching the level of Zhang Jiao and his followers.
"This is getting interesting!"
As Pei Yuanying's aura climbed to its peak, Lu Hai Kong's eyes showed no signs of fear. Instead, they held a hint of mockery, and he watched Pei Yuanying below with anticipation.
As Pei Yuanying's aura surged, Lu Hai Kong vaguely felt thunderclouds gathering in the sky, as if purple lightning was about to strike at any moment.
Lu Hai Kong had known for a long time that the combat strength in the Three Kingdoms world had been locked by the system to a certain extent. It wasn't that they couldn't break through that limit, but they couldn't unleash their true power beyond 100.
In Lu Hai Kong's eyes, Pei Yuanying's outburst was like a deliberate act of self-sabotage.
In fact, not only did Lu Hai Kong think this way, but on the other side, Du Rouhui was also anxiously pacing.
Watching Pei Yuanying's outburst, Du Rouhui couldn't help but complain, "Didn't you tell him that the combat strength limit in this world hasn't been lifted yet, and he shouldn't use power beyond his realm?"
The middle-aged scholar glanced at Du Rouhui but remained silent. There wasn't much to say; his expression was one of exasperation.
What could he say? He had already told Pei Yuanying everything when he first came over, but this guy completely ignored his instructions as soon as he started fighting. He had unleashed his power prematurely, and there was little Du Rouhui could do about such a headstrong person.
Du Rouhui looked at the expression on the middle-aged scholar beside him and roughly understood what had happened. He shook his head.
"What should we do now? Stop him?"
Du Rouhui and the middle-aged scholar beside him had the ability to do so. If they wished, they could not only stop Pei Yuanying but also bring him back.
However, as Pei Yuanying's power was on the verge of crossing the boundary, the middle-aged scholar shook his head, "Wait a little longer!"
"Wait? For what?" Du Rouhui had just finished asking when a flash of insight struck him, and he immediately knew what they were waiting for.
Coincidentally, at that moment, he seemed to hear something in his ear. Du Rouhui listened intently for a while, and his face turned slightly pale.
"What? Our people have been stopped by Lu Hai Kong?" The middle-aged scholar beside him took one look and understood what had happened.
"Yes!" Du Rouhui nodded heavily.
In reality, their grand display was merely a diversion, and their true trump card against Lu Hai Kong was the same tactic Du Rouhui had used against the Liaodong Prefecture. They intended to replicate the strategy before Lu Hai Kong could react, and if successful, they would be able to take Lingzhi City today.
Unfortunately, Lu Hai Kong seemed to have already caught on, but what was even more interesting was that the middle-aged scholar didn't seem surprised at all.
"If we've been discovered, then so be it. Let's change our approach. Don't stop General Pei, let him unleash his power!"
Upon hearing this, Du Rouhui was taken aback, then quickly realized, "You knew General Pei would unleash his power?"
"More or less. I didn't expect it to happen this early, but it's perfect timing. When General Pei unleashes his power, he will definitely face Heavenly Retribution. However, since General Pei has only just surpassed the boundary, the retribution won't be too severe; at most, he'll be heavily injured."
"You want Lu Hai Kong to capture General Pei?" Du Rouhui understood immediately.
The middle-aged scholar nodded, "Yes. Doesn't Lu Hai Kong like to capture historical generals? First, Cheng Yaojin, then Wei Chigong. He probably has his sights set on capturing these historical generals. Since he likes them so much, we'll deliver General Pei right to him."
Upon hearing this, Du Rouhui's eyes gleamed with understanding, finally grasping the plan of the person beside him.
In the 16th chapter of the 9th book, there was no mistake in the version I read!
From the beginning, this person never expected their previous tactic in Liaodong Prefecture to work directly. He had prepared several backup plans, ready to execute them one after another. Xun You's talent in strategizing was formidable, but without giving him time and bombarding him with one plan after another, even Xun You wouldn't be able to predict everything.
Almost as soon as their conversation ended, General Pei's momentum reached its peak. At that moment, a purple lightning bolt, far less intense than the one Zhang Jiao and the mysterious Taoist had summoned, struck.
With a crackling sound, General Pei, who had reached the pinnacle of his momentum, had his aura shattered by the purple lightning, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
This sudden turn of events seemed to have been anticipated by Lu Hai Kong, as if he had known all along. Almost simultaneously with the purple lightning strike, a phantom of the Emperor Human Cauldron descended, crushing General Pei, while Dian Wei and Huang Zhong sprang into action, charging towards General Pei.
General Pei, despite being struck by the purple lightning and then hit by the phantom of the Emperor Human Cauldron, remained conscious. Seeing Huang Zhong and Dian Wei approaching, he roared in anger, ready to continue fighting despite his injuries.
However, General Pei's fate was sealed. With only a fraction of his full strength, he was easily knocked out by a single palm strike from Dian Wei.
Huang Zhong and Dian Wei then dragged the unconscious General Pei towards Lingzhi City.
"Success!"
Upon witnessing this, Du Rouhui and the middle-aged scholar beside him rejoiced.
On the other side, as Lu Hai Kong watched Huang Zhong and Dian Wei bring General Pei over, a smile crept onto his face.
After all, as General Pei entered Lingzhi City, the system sounded, and the appearance of the system prompt confirmed the arrival of the reward.
Although the reward seemed to have come a bit early, as it should have appeared after the battle ended, who wouldn't appreciate an early reward?
However, when Lu Hai Kong heard the system prompt, his expression changed, and he shouted in anger, "No! Kill General Pei quickly!"
Lu Hai Kong's roar was loud enough to be heard by Du Rouhui and the middle-aged scholar, even from several miles away.
Hearing Lu Hai Kong's urgent roar, Du Rouhui and the middle-aged scholar laughed, "This guy reacts quickly, but he's still a step too late. General Pei has already entered."
"It's time to teach Lu Hai Kong a lesson. These items aren't their exclusive privilege!"
As they spoke, the middle-aged scholar crushed a token in his hand. Simultaneously, General Pei, who had been unconscious within Lingzhi City, suddenly opened his eyes, and an explosive aura erupted from him. Where was the heavily injured and unconscious General Pei? He had fully recovered!
General Pei waved his arms, sending Huang Zhong and Dian Wei flying. He then grabbed his confiscated hammers and charged towards the city gate, smashing it open with a violent blow.
As the city gate opened, the army of the living dead and the demon legion sprang into action, and the siege began!
