Chapter 1362: Suppressing the Demon Weapon
In the Three Kingdoms world, within Luoyang City...
In the end, Cao Cao chose to commit suicide in front of Lu Hai Kong.
As Cao Cao ended his life, the Heavenly Mandate Dragon Aura naturally escaped from his body, intertwining with his Tai'a Sword, giving off a feeling of soaring into the sky.
Lu Hai Kong understood that Cao Cao's Heavenly Mandate Dragon Aura was unwilling to fall into his hands and sought a new master, continuing its struggle against Lu Hai Kong.
Lu Hai Kong had anticipated this, but before him, they had no chance. Without Lu Hai Kong making a move, the shadow of the Human Sovereign Cauldron on his body flickered, directly suppressing Cao Cao's Heavenly Mandate Dragon Aura and Tai'a Sword.
After easily dealing with Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, Lu Hai Kong turned his gaze to Yuan Hong, who stood far away.
Feeling Lu Hai Kong's gaze upon him, Yuan Hong trembled. Witnessing the fate of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, Yuan Hong had no desire to die. He immediately knelt, "Prince of Jin, Yuan Hong surrenders!"
As Yuan Hong knelt, Lu Hai Kong was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting such a lack of backbone from this man. However, he did not take any lethal action against him.
Lu Hai Kong was not a bloodthirsty person. Yuan Hong did not possess the Heavenly Mandate Dragon Aura, and his existence did not necessitate killing. Moreover, Yuan Hong posed little threat to Lu Hai Kong, and whether he lived or died would not significantly impact Lu Hai Kong's rule. By sparing him, Lu Hai Kong could gain some reputation for mercy.
"Lead your men, put down your weapons, and wait outside Luoyang City!"
After giving the order, Lu Hai Kong shifted his attention from Yuan Hong to Dong Zhuo and his group, who had retreated earlier.
It must be said that although Lu Hai Kong primarily focused on martial arts, he had achieved remarkable success in the Dao due to his vast resources.
As Lu Hai Kong's gaze fell upon Dong Zhuo's group, he took a step forward, and in just a few strides, he covered a distance of nearly ten li to stand before Dong Zhuo.
"Prince of Jin, with your sweeping victory over the warlords, the world now falls into your grasp. Congratulations!"
Looking at Lu Hai Kong, who had suddenly appeared before him, Dong Zhuo spoke words of congratulation, but his face remained devoid of a smile, and anyone could discern the hidden anger and murderous intent in his eyes.
In truth, although Dong Zhuo's side had been involved throughout this affair and had cooperated perfectly, it was evident that Dong Zhuo had not willingly aided Lu Hai Kong.
His cooperation was solely due to threats from Lu Hai Kong or, more specifically, from Jia Xu, and the leverage Jia Xu held over Dong Zhuo was Li Ru!
Years ago, after the battle where Lu Hai Kong destroyed Qin Mu's clone, he kept his promise and gave Dong Zhuo the Spirit Token to revive Li Ru.
In reality, from that moment on, Lu Hai Kong had set a trap for Dong Zhuo.
The Spirit Token itself was flawless, and with its help, Li Ru did survive in the form of a spirit, indistinguishable from a living person, except for his inability to eat. In fact, his lifespan was even longer than that of an average person.
However, with advantages came disadvantages. Li Ru's survival depended on the Spirit Token, which originated from the Spirit Temple, meaning that Lu Hai Kong essentially controlled Li Ru's life and death.
Given the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, Lu Hai Kong's control over Li Ru's life and death also meant he held Dong Zhuo's fate in his hands.
With such a powerful bargaining chip, even if Dong Zhuo was reluctant, he had no choice but to obediently assist Lu Hai Kong in carrying out his plan.
Of course, he faithfully executed the plan for Lu Hai Kong, but this didn't mean he considered the matter finished.
Dong Zhuo was well aware that Lu Hai Kong was clearing the field!
After thoroughly sweeping away the various warlords, Lu Hai Kong wouldn't let him off the hook. The current situation was proof of his speculation!
"It seems the Prince of Jin is determined to wipe us all out?"
As Lu Hai Kong remained silent, Dong Zhuo's brows furrowed deeply. At the same time, Lu Bu and other generals by Dong Zhuo's side unsheathed their weapons, ready to fight to the death if Lu Hai Kong dared to make any reckless moves.
Lu Hai Kong paid no heed to this. His gaze was fixed solely on Dong Zhuo, and without any unnecessary words, he got straight to the point: "Hand over the demon weapon, and I'll grant you a lifetime of wealth and power!"
'As expected, everything is just as Wen You predicted!'
Dong Zhuo wasn't surprised. He even wore an expression that suggested he had anticipated this outcome: "Your heart isn't as ruthless as it should be. You only want my demon weapon. If I were in your shoes, I'd never let myself off the hook!"
Dong Zhuo's words were reckless, and before Lu Hai Kong could even react, he had already scared his own subordinates half to death.
The current situation was the best outcome for them. They didn't want Dong Zhuo to talk himself to death due to his recklessness.
Please... Your... Collection_6_9_Book_Bar (Six//Nine//Book//Bar)
In fact, what they didn't know was that Li Ru had instructed Dong Zhuo to say those words, and when Dong Zhuo spoke, his gaze was entirely focused on Lu Hai Kong.
Lu Hai Kong's reaction at this moment was crucial. If he showed the slightest anger or any unusual expression, Dong Zhuo wouldn't readily hand over the demon blade, as it was akin to giving up his life.
However, to Dong Zhuo's relief and disappointment, Lu Hai Kong showed no unusual signs at all. His face remained calm and indifferent, as if neither Dong Zhuo's provocation nor the demon blade in his hand could affect him in the slightest.
From a certain perspective, this was a form of contempt, but it was a kind of contempt that put Dong Zhuo at ease.
Gazing at Lu Hai Kong before him, Dong Zhuo heaved a soft sigh. In the end, he waved his hand, and between his gestures, a long blade, about a meter in length, completely black, and imbued with a soul-stealing demonic power, appeared in his hand.
Perhaps it had just rebelled, or perhaps it knew its fate of imminent suppression.
Once the demon weapon was taken out, it began to tremble violently, as if trying to break free from Dong Zhuo and escape to the distant horizon.
Due to Dong Zhuo forcibly extracting the demon weapon, his resonance with it had reached its lowest point, and he was barely able to suppress it. Despite his tight grip, the weapon eventually broke free.
Although the demon weapon escaped Dong Zhuo's grasp, it still couldn't elude Lu Hai Kong's palm.
As the demon weapon flew, a cold glint flashed in Lu Hai Kong's eyes, and the shadow of the Human Sovereign Cauldron appeared, effortlessly suppressing the demon weapon.
It was only at this moment that Lu Hai Kong had truly settled the warlords of the world.
Almost simultaneously, as Lu Hai Kong suppressed the demon weapon, a massive system prompt echoed in his ears...
