Chapter 539: Basic Axe Technique Level 45
Chapter 539: Basic Axe Technique Level 45
September 25, 2017
Outside Ye City, Huangfu Song and his forces were anxiously awaiting the outcome of Lu HaiKong's battle.
Some hoped that Lu HaiKong would fall in battle, while others anticipated his victory and the capture of Ye City.
Within Ye City, Lu HaiKong and his troops were engaged in a slaughter, a massacre that was exhilarating and unrestrained.
For Lu HaiKong and his men, this was not a battle but a massacre, as the two sides were not only mismatched in numbers but also in strength.
Facing the overwhelming majority of Yellow Turban rebels with a strength of only around 10, along with the occasional Yellow Turban Warrior, Lu HaiKong's forces held an overwhelmingly dominant advantage.
When the Bloodbath Legion activated their Bloodthirsty Rampage, their strength increased exponentially, making the Yellow Turban Army seem like they were trying to crack stones with eggs, their numbers unable to inflict any harm on Lu HaiKong's army.
Lu HaiKong's state today was exceptionally good, and during the battle, his blood seemed to be on fire.
It was evident that after a period of fighting, Lu HaiKong had accumulated numerous insights that were now bursting forth, and if things went well, his strength would see a significant breakthrough.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong managed to use the Basic Axe Technique, which he hadn't employed for quite some time, and found it surprisingly smooth!
His Basic Axe Technique, which had reached the impressive level of 40, was now flowing effortlessly. Lu HaiKong adjusted his attribute panel, raising his Basic Axe Technique to level 41, and continued fighting.
Lu HaiKong's condition was excellent, and the more he fought, the more comfortable he became. Soon, he completely mastered the 41st level of Basic Axe Technique and proceeded to raise its level once again.
For a moment, Lu HaiKong was immersed in the martial technique, but fortunately, he didn't forget his original purpose. While engrossed in the practice of Basic Axe Technique, he also issued orders to Wen U, instructing him to lead Gao Lan and the Bloodbath Legion to capture the Yellow Turban Altar within Ye City.
In this world, the change of ownership for each city not only required its occupation but also the construction of buildings under one's rule or the occupation of existing ones.
The Han faction had various county magistrate offices and prefectural governor's mansions, while the Yellow Turban forces had altars. Any city they captured would have an altar erected.
Lu HaiKong was unaware of the purpose of these altars, but he knew that destroying the altar and slaying the commander was equivalent to capturing Ye City.
With the task assigned to Wen U, Lu HaiKong could immerse himself entirely in breaking through his martial arts.
Lu HaiKong's exceptional condition at this moment, combined with the endless supply of enemies for him to slaughter, resulted in progress that felt a hundred times faster than usual.
Lu HaiKong's innate talent was already astonishing, and with this accelerated progress, it was as if he had activated some kind of cheat code.
In less than two hours, Lu HaiKong had forcefully raised his Basic Axe Technique to level 45.
[Congratulations on raising your Basic Axe Technique to level 45. Your strength has increased by 1 point, and your current strength is 86!]
Lu HaiKong paid no attention to the system's notification about his increased strength, remaining immersed in the ocean of martial arts. Just as he completely mastered the 45th level of Basic Axe Technique and was about to continue improving, he realized that there seemed to be very few Yellow Turban rebels left, and at that moment, several system notifications arrived one after another.
You have conquered Ye City, a county-level city controlled by the Yellow Turban forces, earning 1 million merit points for the Han Faction.
You have conquered Ye City, a county-level city controlled by the Yellow Turban forces, and obtained two Legendary Chests.
The merit points for capturing a county-level city are significantly higher than that of a county, amounting to one million. Additionally, there are two Legendary Chests, but the Mythic Chest that Lu Haikong has been longing for is still nowhere to be found.
However, Lu Haikong's thoughts at this moment are not focused on these items.
"So, it's been captured just like that?"
Lu Haikong feels a bit disappointed. After finally encountering a relatively favorable situation, he was planning to take the opportunity to upgrade his Basic Axe Technique to level 50, but he never expected Ye City to be so easily conquered, falling within just a few strikes.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later. Now that Ye City has been captured, it's time to go out and find Huangfu Song." Lu Haikong's eyes flashed with determination.
...
Outside Ye City, Huangfu Song and his group had been waiting for a good three to four hours.
After three to four hours, the tension felt by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun gradually dissipated.
In fact, more than an hour ago, Huangfu Song and his group had already stopped feeling anxious, believing that Lu Haikong and his forces were essentially crippled.
Lu Haikong's forces only numbered around a thousand, while the enemy had ten times that number. They could easily overwhelm Lu Haikong's forces with sheer numbers, and Huangfu Song's group didn't believe that Lu Haikong's knights were invincible and tireless.
In a 6, a 9, a book, and a bar, there is no mistake in this version!
If it had been within one or two hours, Huangfu Song might have reluctantly believed that Lu Haikong could capture the city, or at least survive. But in the current situation, Lu Haikong was essentially on a path to certain death.
Meng Haoran, who had been tense for three to four hours, finally relaxed, and a proud smile appeared on his face uncontrollably.
It is known that Lu Haikong has a formidable reputation among the extraordinary individuals. Even without his knowledge, he has quite a few die-hard fans.
Lu Haikong is hailed as the King of Mountain Bandits and the number one person in the Han Faction. Naturally, with popularity comes animosity, and Meng Haoran is one of those who strongly dislikes Lu Haikong. Especially when Lu Haikong arrived at the main camp with three top-tier historical generals behind him, Meng Haoran was so jealous that he almost went crazy.
Historical generals are incredibly rare, and many extraordinary lords don't even have a single ordinary one. Lu Haikong alone possesses three of the very best.
This poor fellow doesn't know that what he has seen is not the entirety of Lu Haikong's strength. If he knew that Lu Haikong has even more at home, he would likely be jealous to the point of dying on the spot.
However, Meng Haoran's initial reaction to Lu Haikong is not solely due to jealousy. More importantly, he realizes that by stepping on Lu Haikong, he can rise in status. With the opportunity right in front of him, he naturally won't let it slip by.
But he never expected Lu Haikong to be so brainless, leading a mere thousand men to attack the city.
"Hmph, so what if he has three top-tier historical generals? If someone is brainless, they're destined to die, aren't they?"
Thinking this, Meng Haoran couldn't help but say, "It seems that Governor Lu has made a heroic sacrifice!"
His words immediately drew a wave of angry glares, some from Cao Cao's group and some from Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo glared coldly at Meng Haoran, about to say something, when Xiahou Yuan pointed at Ye City and shouted, "Look, what's that?"
