Chapter 223: Killing Wang Hao (1)
September 25, 2017
Wang Hao had a powerful item called the 'Yellow Turban Warrior Token', which he had purchased for over a hundred thousand gold. It was his ultimate life-saving trump card.
As a trump card, this item was undoubtedly incredibly powerful.
These ten Yellow Turban Warriors could not be killed within half an hour, and as long as Wang Hao was alive, they could fight continuously for that duration. Even if they were killed, they could be resurrected to continue fighting.
This was an extremely overpowered item, and Lu Hai Kong was about to witness its might.
After the ten Yellow Turban Warriors emerged, Ma Pian led the Shadow Guards to engage them immediately. Although the Shadow Guards specialized in assassination, they were also formidable in combat, with each guard possessing a strength of at least thirty to forty. Ma Pian's strength, however, reached seventy.
As soon as the Shadow Guards clashed with the Yellow Turban Warriors, they suffered a crushing defeat.
They were not on the same level as their opponents; it wasn't that the Yellow Turban Warriors overwhelmed the Shadow Guards with strength, but that they simply ignored the attacks of the Shadow Guards. The strikes that could normally kill a person had no effect on the Yellow Turban Warriors, and a single punch from them could severely injure a Shadow Guard.
After only a few minutes of fighting, several Shadow Guards beside Ma Pian were already severely wounded, and this was with the guards' evasive skills.
Hiding in the Lord's Hall, Wang Hao witnessed the Shadow Guards being overwhelmed and felt a surge of satisfaction.
"Lu Hai Kong, you want to kill me? Come in if you dare! Let me tell you, these ten Yellow Turban Warriors are immortal. As long as I hold this token, they will remain. With these ten warriors guarding the door, you can never kill me!" Wang Hao waved the token in his hand triumphantly.
"Oh, thank you for the reminder." Lu Hai Kong gave a cold smile, and beside him, Dian Wei drew out a flying spear and threw it with all his might towards Wang Hao.
Dian Wei's strength was immense, and the power of his thrown spear was likely no less than that of a mortar.
As the spear was thrown, a loud sound of tearing through the air echoed as it hurtled towards Wang Hao in the Lord's Hall. On its way, a Yellow Turban Warrior took the blow, getting violently killed by the spear, but the spear's force remained undiminished as it continued towards Wang Hao.
Witnessing the terrifying power of the spear, Wang Hao's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure, even showing a hint of smugness. Clearly, he was confident that the spear would not harm him.
Indeed, when the spear reached the Lord's Hall, a white light flashed, effortlessly blocking Dian Wei's spear.
"Similar to the Assembly Hall's protective barrier," Lu Hai Kong frowned, finally understanding the source of Wang Hao's confidence.
Sure enough, after the spear was blocked, Wang Hao inside the hall burst into laughter.
"Lu Hai Kong, you're shocked, aren't you? You didn't expect my Lord's Hall to have this trick, did you? Let me tell you, the defense of my Lord's Hall is of an excellent level. Even if you were to bombard it for ten days and nights, I wouldn't be afraid."
Wang Hao was exaggerating a bit; with Dian Wei's strength, it wouldn't take ten days and nights to break through. Given half an hour, Dian Wei could breach the defense of the Lord's Hall.
At this moment, the middle-aged scholar who had been silent for a while, Xin Ping, finally spoke up: "Lu Warlord, with our means, we can at least hold them off for half a day. Half a day is enough time for reinforcements from Dingxiang Prefecture to arrive. You see, Li Xiong has already been rescued. Why don't we call it a night and consider this matter settled? We can even compensate you with resources that will satisfy you. How about we erase the grudges between our two families with this?"
In the Three Kingdoms period, Xin Ping was a strategist under Han Fu. After Han Fu's escape, he served Yuan Shao, and upon Yuan Shao's death, he became Yuan Tan's advisor, displaying great activity. When Cao Cao besieged Nanpi, Xin Ping was sent by Yuan Tan to Cao's camp to surrender, but Cao Cao refused Yuan Tan's surrender. However, he persuaded Xin Ping to stay, but Xin Ping firmly declined and returned to the city. Upon his return, he was suspected and provoked by Yuan Tan, which led to his death from anger. Yuan Tan later deeply regretted his actions.
From this, it can be seen that this man possesses considerable talent and can even be described as a well-rounded individual who understands the art of assessing the situation but also has a bottom line and a sense of steadfastness.
When he spoke these words, he genuinely intended to reconcile, especially since Lu Hai Kong's displayed power was a bit too terrifying, particularly with the presence of that group of Shadow Guards, an intimidating team of assassins. Even if they had endured once, it would be difficult to guarantee they could do so again, and even more critical was that Lu Hai Kong was a formidable opponent. Currently, Xin Ping had no assurance that he could defeat Lu Hai Kong in one go.
In such a situation, Xin Ping was more than willing to seize this opportunity to reconcile with Lu Hai Kong.
As Xin Ping spoke, Wang Hao also stopped his bluster. Although he wasn't considered smart, he wasn't foolish either. He understood that given the current situation, reconciling with Lu Hai Kong would undoubtedly be the perfect solution. To be honest, he was genuinely intimidated by the Shadow Guards.
However, Xin Ping was a bit presumptuous. Who was Lu Hai Kong? Did he think that after bullying someone, he could just say, "Let's make peace," and it would be so? Did he take Lu Hai Kong lightly?
"Reconcile? Sure, come on, come on. Let's talk about how we can reconcile after you leave the Lord's Hall." Lu Hai Kong's tone was incredibly flippant, and anyone could tell that he had no intention of reconciling.
"You dare to challenge us to attack the Lord's Hall? Fine, let's see if you have the guts to assault the Lord's Hall." Wang Hao's face turned ashen upon hearing these words, and he sighed. In the end, he said nothing, for he knew that Lu Hai Kong's group would not be able to break through. If Lu Hai Kong didn't want to reconcile, then so be it. After surviving this crisis, they would do their best to urge the court to send troops to eliminate Lu Hai Kong.
At this moment, neither Wang Hao nor Xin Ping believed that Lu Hai Kong could conquer the Lord's Hall. With their lives guaranteed, they didn't feel an urgent need to reconcile with Lu Hai Kong, but could the Lord's Hall truly protect their lives?
Lu Hai Kong's lips curled into a confident smile: "We haven't had any exercise for a whole night. It's time for Dian Wei to stretch his muscles and break this turtle shell."
Lu Hai Kong's voice wasn't loud, but Wang Hao inside could still hear him clearly. When Lu Hai Kong mentioned Dian Wei, Wang Hao's face turned pale...
