Chapter 224: The Defeat of Wang Hao (2)
September 25, 207
While others may not know who Dian Wei is, Wang Hao, as an extraordinary individual, is well aware of his reputation. This man is a renowned fierce general in the Three Kingdoms era, even capable of giving Lu Bu a run for his money in an arm-wrestling contest. He is incredibly formidable.
At this moment, Wang Hao finally understands why powerful warriors like Pan Feng and Gao Shun could only meet their defeat at the hands of Lu Hai Kong. With a peerless warrior like Dian Wei on their side, it's no wonder they are so formidable.
'Why, why don't I have such a fierce warrior on my side?'
Wang Hao feels both envious and fearful. Although he has some confidence in the defenses of the Lord's Hall, that confidence wavers as soon as he considers the might of an unparalleled warrior like Dian Wei. His confidence crumbles as he realizes the potential threat.
Lu Hai Kong and Dian Wei strike simultaneously, and the Yellow Turban Warriors who were previously suppressing the Shadow Guards are no match for the two of them, who are like raging human dinosaurs.
Dian Wei, in particular, makes short work of the Yellow Turban Warriors with strength levels of fifty or sixty. In his hands, they are like yellow balloons, bursting at the strike of his halberd. Even though these warriors can resurrect, they can't withstand such continuous onslaughts.
As for Lu Hai Kong, aside from initially striking down a Yellow Turban Warrior, he doesn't engage much in the fight. Instead, he heads straight for the Lord's Hall. "I just learned a new skill the other day, and I was looking for a sturdy sandbag to practice on," Lu Hai Kong says with a bright smile, revealing his white teeth. He raises his Ghost Mask Axe and brings it down in swift, successive chops.
At first, Wang Hao is a bit worried, seeing the ferocity of Lu Hai Kong's strikes. It seems intimidating, and he fears for the safety of his Lord's Hall. However, when he checks the attribute panel, he notices that the defense of the Lord's Hall hasn't decreased much, and he feels slightly relieved.
However, at this point, even if Wang Hao is a bit foolish, he dares not mock Lu Hai Kong as before. He is afraid that Lu Hai Kong might get angry and call for Dian Wei, which would spell disaster.
In reality, Wang Hao's fears are unfounded. Lu Hai Kong is not in a rush; in fact, Wang Hao's fate was sealed from the start. Lu Hai Kong is calm and collected, gradually learning the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique that he acquired from Pan Feng.
Lu Hai Kong's talent is indeed exceptional, but even with his abilities, it would take him a considerable amount of time to level up the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique significantly on his own.
However, let's not forget that Lu Hai Kong possesses an unfair advantage—the Allocatable Skill Experience. After a few battles, Lu Hai Kong now has several million skill experience points to allocate. This is more than enough to raise the level of the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique to 30 or even higher.
Lu Hai Kong is taking a gradual approach, not rushing the process. He levels up the technique step by step, ensuring he thoroughly understands each level before moving on to the next.
As Lu Hai Kong hones his skills, he spends nearly two hours to raise the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique to level 15. At this point, he furrows his brows and pauses, not because he lacks skill experience, but because he needs to allocate some experience to the Basic Axe Technique.
Lu Hai Kong also realizes that the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique at level 15 is already formidable. Wang Hao can attest to this, as initially, when Lu Hai Kong's Mountain Splitting Axe Technique was at a lower level, the defense of the Lord's Hall barely decreased, according to the system.
But once Lu Hai Kong raises the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique to level 15, a single strike visibly reduces the defense of the Lord's Hall, causing Wang Hao's heart to race with fear.
The relief was palpable as Lu Hai Kong continued to stall, and over two hours had passed. Judging by the time, the reinforcements from Dingxiang Prefecture were likely close, increasing their chances of survival.
Lu Hai Kong seemed to sense Wang Hao's joy, and after using all his experience to enhance his Basic Axe Technique, raising it to level 34, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Those people you sent for help were accidentally killed by the Shadow Guards, and I've stationed men at the city gates. If anyone tries to leave, they will be killed immediately. In other words, no one from Dingxiang Prefecture knows about your situation here yet, and the reinforcements you were hoping for won't be coming anytime soon."
As Lu Hai Kong spoke these words, Wang Hao's face turned pale. Outside the Lord's Hall, Lu Hai Kong finally had enough of the game.
"Dian Wei, you take over from here. The Shadow Guards are probably done with their task, so let's finish them off quickly and head back."
After Lu Hai Kong finished speaking, he yielded his position to Dian Wei, who was standing nearby. As for Wang Hao's ten Yellow Turban Warriors, they had been thoroughly defeated over an hour ago.
The reason Lu Hai Kong was stalling was not only to practice the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique but also, more importantly, to seize this opportunity to bring back some skilled personnel from Wang Hao's territory.
Lu Hai Kong's mountain camp was currently lacking in skilled workers, especially blacksmiths and teachers. Since they were already there, Lu Hai Kong didn't plan to return empty-handed; taking some skilled workers back would be a great idea.
Another reason was that Li Xiong's condition wasn't good, so Lu Hai Kong sent Ma Pen to the clinic in Ridge City for treatment. These matters required time, and with the reinforcements from Dingxiang Prefecture not arriving, Lu Hai Kong had some time to spare.
Before Wang Hao could recover from the blow of being cut off from information, Dian Wei took over Lu Hai Kong's position, and the terrifying defense of the Lord's Hall began to crumble. Wang Hao's hope was utterly shattered.
In less than ten minutes, the Lord's Hall, Wang Hao's last line of defense, was completely breached by Dian Wei.
In the 1619th chapter, not a single mistake was made!
"You can't kill me! I've already been reincarnated once. If you kill me again, I'll truly die. You can't kill me; it's against the law!" Wang Hao pleaded, terrified, as he saw the menacing Lu Hai Kong and Dian Wei approaching.
Hearing this, Lu Hai Kong let out a cold laugh and stepped forward, kicking Wang Hao several meters away.
"Do you think this is a game? You can't just quit when you feel like it? Do you know how many people you've killed with your own hands? You say you won't kill me, and I'll believe you?"
"I really can't kill you; I'll truly die. How about this—this is the key to my secret room. Inside, I have items and manuals I've collected over the past few months. I'll give them all to you, please don't kill me." Wang Hao begged, sobbing as he took out a key.
Despite Wang Hao's pitiful crying, Lu Hai Kong, who might have shown mercy a few months ago, was now hardened by the countless acts of slaughter he had witnessed. Moreover, the death of a player only meant starting a new game, so there was no need for compassion.
Thus, Lu Hai Kong paid no heed to Wang Hao's pleas and swiftly ended his life with an axe. However, what Lu Hai Kong didn't know was that Wang Hao had been telling the truth.
