Chapter 1340: Slaying Meng Tian
Chapter 1340: Slaying Meng Tian
January 1st, 2018
The Three Kingdoms World, Youzhou.
The battle between Meng Tian's Demon Army and the four generals under Lu Hai Kong's command continued, but from the very beginning, Meng Tian's side was at a significant disadvantage.
Although there was a vast numerical difference between the two armies, and the Demon Army was not much stronger in strength compared to Lu Hai Kong's Black Gale and Iron Blood forces, they might have even held a slight advantage.
Even so, Meng Tian was still being thoroughly dominated.
Being overwhelmed by an enemy with a much smaller army and inferior strength was not due to Meng Tian's weakness.
Meng Tian, as one of the supreme commanders under Qin Shi Huang, was undoubtedly talented. His strength reached 120, and while he might not have matched Wang Jian in command, he far surpassed generals like Wang Ti and Zhang Mancheng.
Such a figure was undoubtedly among the top in the Three Kingdoms world, and with his Demon Army, he could easily defeat any warlord other than Lu Hai Kong.
The reason for his defeat was simply bad luck, or perhaps one could say that he had been outmaneuvered by Xun You and his strategies.
Yan Liang and Wen U's infiltration of the terrain was too ingenious, preventing Meng Tian from quickly reorganizing his army.
By the time Meng Tian's army was almost reorganized, Lu Hai Kong's forces had already reached him.
This wouldn't have been a problem for Meng Tian, one of Qin Shi Huang's commanders. Yan Liang and Wen U charged forward, but Meng Tian still had his commander attribute to rely on.
A supreme commander like him could instantly gather his military aura and crush the invading enemy.
Indeed, Meng Tian did just that. After allowing Yan Liang and Wen U to advance, he immediately gathered his military aura, intending to overwhelm them within his formation.
It was a good plan, and the strategy was clever. The only flaw was that Yan Liang and Wen U had four generals on their side, one of whom specialized in breaking formations.
Perhaps influenced by the Battle of Changbanpo in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where Zhao Yun charged through the enemy lines seven times, this general's attribute leaned towards formation breaking.
He could ignore a portion of the military aura and, as Meng Tian gathered his army's aura, charged straight towards Meng Tian!
Of course, Zhao Yun alone couldn't defeat Meng Tian, but he didn't need to.
As Zhao Yun charged forward, Meng Tian's military aura shattered, and Yan Liang and Wen U, who had been suppressed, immediately regained their spirits and led their army to attack!
What followed was a grand scene of encirclement and slaughter.
Yan Liang, Wen U, and their four generals unleashed their full array of skills, with Yan Liang and Wen U's Mahamayuri as the main force, while Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao provided support.
Despite Meng Tian's considerable strength, he seemed slightly powerless against such a formidable lineup.
The battle lasted less than five minutes before Meng Yi was locked down by Zhao Yun's Seven Probing Dragon Spear and killed by a combined strike from Yan Liang and Wen U.
...
"Your subordinate general, Meng Tian, has been slain by the enemy generals Yan Liang and Wen U. The Gateway Door has been destroyed!"
"Please note that the Gateway Door you opened has been destroyed again, resulting in a 10% decrease in your strength!"
As Meng Tian was slain, Qin Shi Huang immediately received this information.
Though the form may not be the same, the content of the information was almost identical.
At this moment, Qin Shi Huang seemed to have developed immunity to such unforeseen events. His expression remained unchanged, his gaze cold and indifferent to the information, as he frantically manipulated the Black Dragon, intent on finishing off Lu Hai Kong in one fell swoop!
However, Qin Shi Huang had missed the best opportunity to kill Lu Hai Kong. At this moment, it was nearly impossible for him to achieve his goal.
As expected, while Qin Shi Huang was controlling the Black Dragon, the dragon that had been trapped around Lu Hai Kong not only didn't become more ferocious but its aura suddenly weakened.
In fact, Qin Shi Huang and his companions were not their original bodies but were using the avatar rewards in this world.
Their strength in this world was closely related to many factors, the most crucial being the Gateway Doors.
These Gateway Doors served as connection nodes between Qin Shi Huang's original body and his avatars, and he had initially opened three of them, allowing his avatars to possess a portion of his original body's power.
However, with the destruction of the Gateway Doors, Qin Shi Huang's connection to his original body weakened, and his strength decreased accordingly.
If Qin Shi Huang's avatar had a political might of 150 when it first arrived, it now had a maximum of 135, a difference of 15 points, which was almost like night and day.
In this state, it was impossible for him to kill Lu Hai Kong!
Lu Hai Kong, enveloped by the Black Dragon, slowly stood up. As he did, the layer of purple-golden energy surrounding him became even more dazzling.
Amidst the radiant purple-golden light, Lu Hai Kong turned his gaze towards Qin Shi Huang.
"I said that today, all of you will die. Now, are you ready to enter the underworld?"
As Lu Hai Kong's words, filled with killing intent, landed, he began to take action.
With a stomp of his foot, Lu Hai Kong unleashed the energy he had accumulated for a long time, causing it to erupt in an instant.
A pair of purple-golden dragon claws seemed to emerge from Lu Hai Kong's body, grabbing the Black Dragon and tearing it in half.
In the moment the Black Dragon was torn, Lu Hai Kong's figure flickered, and the purple-golden glow flashed as he instantly appeared before Qin Shi Huang. With a ferocious swing, he brought the Savage Wilderness Axe down upon Qin Shi Huang's head.
The attack was vicious and swift, but this powerful and heavy blow with the axe failed to take Qin Shi Huang down.
After all, Qin Shi Huang was still Qin Shi Huang, the ruler of the most powerful force in the foreign realm, and even his avatar was not so easily slain!
As the Savage Wilderness Axe descended, Qin Shi Huang's energy extended a dragon claw to grasp the axe.
"You do have some skills, but to think that you can defeat me, the Emperor, with such meager tricks is nothing but a fool's dream!"
Lu Hai Kong didn't respond to Qin Shi Huang's words; he merely smiled coldly, staring at him.
The next moment, a deafening roar of beasts echoed outside Luoyang City.
Everyone present realized that an incredibly vast number of exotic beasts were heading towards Luoyang City.
Hearing the commotion and seeing the calm and composed Lu Hai Kong, Qin Shi Huang's expression changed completely. Even the most foolish person would understand what was happening.
