Chapter 1198: Wei Wentong
October 23, 2017
In the military camp of the coalition army outside Luoyang City, many onlookers were left dumbfounded as they witnessed Li Zhuo's beheading.
Initially, the Blood Demon General had appeared meek and weak before the Blood Demon General Commander, giving the warlords the impression that he was a coward and feeble.
However, when he stepped forward and revealed his true power, exuding an aura of extreme arrogance, the warlords realized that his subservience was directed only towards his leader, and he indeed possessed some skills, with strength that was undoubtedly top-tier.
At this point, the warlords' perception of him had changed, but it was only after Li Zhuo's swift execution that they truly grasped the Blood Demon General's formidable power.
Although Li Zhuo's strength wasn't particularly outstanding among the top-tier warriors, he had still managed to reach that level. The warlords were shocked that the Blood Demon General could defeat him with a single strike. They were left in awe, while the Blood Demon General seemed to look down upon Li Zhuo's strength.
"The feel of this isn't great. Is this the strength of a Three Kingdoms warrior? To be honest, it's quite mediocre. If you're all this useless, don't waste our time. Just end your lives!"
Upon hearing these words, Dong Zhuo's face, already grim after Li Zhuo's death, turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Lu Bu!"
"This subordinate is here!" Lu Bu stepped forward, his battle intent surging.
"You have my permission to unleash that power and make him pay with his life!"
"This subordinate shall obey!"
Lu Bu bowed and then lifted the Heaven Cleaving Halberd in his hand. With killing and fighting intent overflowing, he strode towards the Blood Demon General.
As Lu Bu approached, the Blood Demon General's lips curled into a smile, showing keen interest: "Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian? Is this the first warrior of the Three Kingdoms? Interesting. I, Wei Wentong, will measure the true caliber of your so-called top warrior of the Three Kingdoms!"
As he spoke, the Blood Demon General, or rather Wei Wentong, dissipated the blood mist around him. He revealed himself as a man with phoenix eyes, silkworm brows, and a crimson face, clutching a long sword in his hand. His appearance and persona almost perfectly overlapped with Guan Yu.
Of course, this man couldn't be Guan Yu. He was Wei Wentong, the adopted son of the Mountain King of Sui and Tang, and ranked ninth among the Eighteen Heroes of Sui and Tang. In the legends of Sui and Tang, he was known for his prowess in defeating Qin Shubao.
However, at this moment, for Lu Bu, the appearance, name, and identity of Wei Wentong before him were of no importance.
From the moment Dong Zhuo gave the order, Wei Wentong was as good as dead in Lu Bu's eyes, and he could only be a dead man!
Therefore, Lu Bu didn't bother with words and launched an attack as soon as he arrived. His first move was the pinnacle of his Tyrant Halberd Technique.
The halberd technique, honed to its peak, unleashed astonishing power in Lu Bu's hands. While it wasn't particularly mystical, it was extremely domineering, violent, and fierce.
However, Wei Wentong was not to be underestimated. His strength surpassed even that of Qin Shubao. Previously, Lu Bu had struggled against Yuchi Gong, who was on par with Qin Shubao. Taking down Wei Wentong effortlessly was virtually impossible.
As expected, when they clashed, Wei Wentong effortlessly countered Lu Bu's overwhelmingly powerful halberd technique.
"Your halberd technique is impressive, fierce and domineering, and your martial arts are mature. But that alone won't be enough to kill me!"
As he effortlessly blocked Lu Bu's attack, Wei Wentong couldn't resist a taunt.
Honestly, at this moment, Wei Wentong's provocation wasn't a typical villainous taunt, but rather a reaction to the realization that Lu Bu's strength exceeded his expectations during their brief clash.
Initially, Wei Wentong assumed that Lu Bu was stronger than Li Zhuo, but with certain limitations. However, he was surprised to find that Lu Bu was significantly more powerful than Li Zhuo and was already approaching the threshold of breaking through to the next level. Although Lu Bu was still weaker, defeating him effortlessly was not as easy as he had anticipated.
Behind Wei Wentong, the Blood Demon General Commander was still watching. Wei Wentong's mission was to kill one of the four, Dong Zhuo, but he had no intention of wasting time on Lu Bu. So, while engaging Lu Bu, he began to provoke him.
Based on his impression of Lu Bu, he knew that Lu Bu was undoubtedly powerful in combat, but also impulsive, easily angered, and extremely arrogant. Wei Wentong thought it would be easy to provoke him, but to his surprise, Lu Bu remained remarkably composed, contrary to his expectations.
Seeing that his provocation was ineffective, Wei Wentong decided to pull out all the stops.
"Is this your true strength? It's a bit weak. Do you really consider yourself the number one warrior in the world? Your reputation is not living up to reality!"
"But speaking of which, although this level of strength is insignificant to me, it might be impressive to those who haven't seen the world. Your adoptive father, Dong Zhuo, must have been attracted by your combat prowess and bought you off, right?"
"Come on, tell me. How did Dong Zhuo buy you? What kind of offer did he make to make you betray your original adoptive father, Ding Yuan, and willingly become his servant, a slave to three surnames?"
As Wei Wentong parried Lu Bu's attacks, he continued to goad him based on his understanding of Lu Bu's personality.
Especially when he mentioned the term 'slave to three surnames,' he emphasized the words, ready to brace for Lu Bu's outburst.
However, to his surprise, Lu Bu remained unmoved by this ultimate provocation. He maintained an unwavering calm, as if Wei Wentong's words didn't apply to him.
In fact, from Lu Bu's perspective, Wei Wentong's words didn't even refer to him. He couldn't understand what this guy was talking about.
It was clear that Wei Wentong was trying to anger him, but Lu Bu was utterly confused by the gibberish he was hearing. In this situation, Lu Bu focused on his combat rather than the incomprehensible words, fighting steadily against Wei Wentong.
Seeing that his provocation had no effect, Wei Wentong lost his temper and cursed, "You're just a loyal dog raised by that old man, Dong Zhuo!"
As soon as Wei Wentong uttered these words, Lu Bu's calm expression changed. His eyes instantly ignited with black flames.
"Insulting my master? Die!"
In an instant, black flames erupted from Lu Bu's body, and his aura intensified tenfold. With a furious swing of his halberd, he smashed Wei Wentong's sword, which was completely unprepared and defenseless, sending it flying. The halberd then struck Wei Wentong's chest with such force that it caved in, and Wei Wentong was hurled dozens of meters away, barely breathing.
Throughout Lu Bu's outburst, Wei Wentong was left utterly bewildered.
He couldn't comprehend why Lu Bu had suddenly erupted, nor could he understand why the empowered Lu Bu was so terrifying, with a strength increase of at least tenfold.
This level of power was almost at the threshold of breaking through to the next level.
After defeating Wei Wentong with a single strike, Lu Bu raised his halberd and pointed it at the Blood Demon General across from him, asking, "Who's next?"
