Chapter 1207: The Harvest
Chapter 1207: The Harvest
October 28, 2017
At the Capital Military Camp, below Luoyang City, within the camp of the coalition army of the vassal lords.
The remaining vassal lords watched as Yu Wencheng, who had his head smashed by a single palm strike from Lu Hai Kong, stood at the top, all of them looking dumbfounded.
Among them, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei were especially shocked. These three had previously tried to stop Yu Wencheng, so they understood his terror more than anyone else. Yet, this terrifying warrior couldn't even withstand a single move from Lu Hai Kong. Just how powerful had this guy, Lu Hai Kong, become?
This guy must be cheating!
Lu Hai Kong didn't have time to pay attention to the vassal lords' astonishment below. He frowned slightly, sensing that something was off about the feeling of his palm after striking Yu Wencheng.
In fact, when Yu Wencheng unleashed his full power and struck Lu Hai Kong's Substitute Puppet, which could withstand a lethal attack, Lu Hai Kong had requested Nuo Nuo's Divine Dragon Power from the system, but the system had not granted his request.
In other words, Lu Hai Kong's palm strike should have had a power level of around 100 at most, which logically should not have been enough to defeat Yu Wencheng. But before the strike even landed, Yu Wencheng's head had exploded, a highly bizarre situation.
It was clear that Yu Wencheng had been secretly attacked, and the assailant was extremely skilled. Not only had they killed Yu Wencheng, but they had also created the illusion that Yu Wencheng had died at Lu Hai Kong's hands.
With this revelation, Lu Hai Kong realized that the situation had become more complicated than he initially thought.
He had assumed it was just a routine invasion from foreign forces, but now it seemed that it might involve a conflict between foreign powers, and they seemed to have been mere pawns in someone else's game from the very beginning.
"Using me as a pawn? This is getting interesting!"
A cold glint flashed in Lu Hai Kong's eyes, and even as he scowled, he reached out and picked up the items that had scattered from Yu Wencheng's exploded body.
Even a fool could tell that these items were probably hot, and the person who had killed Yu Wencheng had done it secretly and set up Lu Hai Kong as the scapegoat. How could Yu Wencheng's possessions not be dangerous?
However, since Lu Hai Kong couldn't find the assailant, the blame for Yu Wencheng's death would undoubtedly fall on him. Lu Hai Kong wasn't one to shy away from trouble, especially since his future opponents were already formidable enough.
After collecting Yu Wencheng's belongings, Lu Hai Kong glanced down at the vassal lords below, their faces clearly saying, 'You're cheating!' He then turned to look at Dian Wei and the others' battlefield and saw that they had already finished their task.
Lu Hai Kong ordered them to destroy the last target, the massive Mysterious Gateway.
After giving this command, Lu Hai Kong descended from the sky, picked up Princess San, and flew back to Luoyang City without a word to Dong Zhuo and the others.
With five near-hundred-level warriors on Dian Wei's side and the Mysterious Gateway slowly dissipating after Yu Wencheng's defeat, the gateway was destroyed with surprising speed.
As Lu Hai Kong returned to Luoyang City with Princess San in his arms, the gateway shattered, and a series of system prompts sounded in his ear.
"You, together with [???], have killed Yu Wencheng. You have obtained a Mythical-tier treasure chest and a Blessing from Heaven and Earth!"
"Your historical general, Dian Wei, has killed the Blood Demon General Wei Wentong. You have obtained a Mythical-tier treasure chest and a Blessing from Heaven and Earth!"
"Your historical general, Cheng Yaojin, has killed a Blood Demon General. You have obtained a Mythical-tier treasure chest and a Blessing from Heaven and Earth!"
"Your historical general, Huang Zhong, has killed a Blood Demon General. You have obtained a Mythical-tier treasure chest and a Blessing from Heaven and Earth!"
"Your historical general, Qin Shubao, has destroyed the Mysterious Gateway. You have obtained a Mythical-tier treasure chest, a Blessing from Heaven and Earth, and a Special Mission Reward!"
Lu Hai Kong's side had killed four Blood Demon Generals, but one of them was slain by Princess San, so he didn't receive a system prompt for that.
Of course, even without the system prompt, the rewards were still guaranteed. At this point, Princess San and Lu Hai Kong were practically one entity, so the rewards were the same regardless of who received them.
Lu Hai Kong glanced at the rewards: five Mythical-tier treasure chests, five Blessings from Heaven and Earth, and a Special Mission Reward. The richness of the rewards slightly eased the frustration he felt upon realizing he had been tricked.
As Lu Hai Kong's mood improved, on the other side, the vassal lords were left dumbfounded and dejected.
They watched as Lu Hai Kong turned and left without a word, and Dong Zhuo and the others exchanged glances, speechless.
In that moment, no one could say a word. Even after Yu Wencheng and his forces were driven back, the vassal lords were at a loss for what to do next.
Please support the author by collecting this chapter.
The Anti-Lu Alliance, formed by the vassal lords, was initially intended to resist Lu Hai Kong. However, from the moment of its formation until now, it had failed to achieve any significant resistance against Lu Hai Kong. Instead, they had been thoroughly crushed by Lu Hai Kong in every way imaginable.
Even this could be forgiven, as Lu Hai Kong was exceptionally formidable, and their alliance was formed to counter him. If Lu Hai Kong wasn't strong, what purpose would their alliance serve?
But no one could have predicted that just as they were on the verge of being overwhelmed by Lu Hai Kong, a group of foreign demons would suddenly appear.
After being brutally beaten by these foreign demons and nearly losing their ability to function, Lu Hai Kong had efficiently eliminated the demons. This only made the situation more awkward for the alliance.
What were they to do now? Continue fighting Lu Hai Kong? They were tired of it! Look at Yu Wencheng's fate—that could be them! Moreover, Lu Hai Kong seemed to be on the righteous path of resisting foreign demons, so attacking him would be unjustifiable.
But if they stopped fighting, it would be a loss of face.
So, they were stuck in a difficult position. They couldn't advance, but retreating would be embarrassing. They desperately wanted Lu Hai Kong to come down and negotiate, giving them a way to gracefully exit the situation.
Lu Hai Kong, however, had no intention of negotiating. He was too busy to bother with them!
