Chapter 561: One Spear
Chapter 561: One Spear
September 25, 2017
Lu HaiKong had no idea that his brief appearance would directly trigger Zhang Liang's rampage.
Initially, Lu HaiKong did have some thoughts about Zhang Liang's head.
But upon second thought, he figured that if he were to challenge Zhang Liang at this moment, he would likely die. So, he decided to let it go.
With Lu HaiKong's experience, even without using his brain, he knew that Zhang Liang had unleashed a high-level ultimate skill. He estimated that after this battle, Zhang Liang would need a long time to recover. Lu HaiKong had plenty of time and opportunities to wait for Zhang Liang's weakness before striking, so there was no need to rush into battle now.
On the other hand, Lu HaiKong also had some concerns about the battle in Guangping. The fight had already reached this stage, and the Yellow Turban Army had almost utilized all their available forces. However, even after such a long battle, Lu HaiKong still hadn't seen Zhang Jiao.
The big boss of the Yellow Turban Rebellion hadn't shown up, which made Lu HaiKong feel uneasy. Therefore, he had no intention of provoking Zhang Liang.
So, Lu HaiKong didn't even glance at Zhang Liang's battlefield and instead focused entirely on conquering He Man's legion.
The four legions of the Yellow Turbans numbered around fifty thousand each, and He Man's legion was no exception. There was little difference in the number of soldiers among them.
As a general, there was a noticeable difference between He Man and Zhang Niujiao. After all, Zhang Niujiao was one of the top commanders in the second line of the Yellow Turban Army, while He Man could barely qualify as a second-line commander.
Under these circumstances, it would make sense for Lu HaiKong to conquer He Man's legion with greater ease and comfort.
However, the opposite was true!
The reason Lu HaiKong was able to swiftly defeat Zhang Niujiao's legion was largely because Zhang Niujiao desperately resisted and repeatedly used his Warlord Trait. It was under such circumstances that Zhang Niujiao and his men were quickly locked onto by Lu HaiKong, who then charged with his cavalry, crushing them and securing a swift victory.
Unlike He Man, when He Man's army saw Lu HaiKong's Bloodstained Legion, He Man's side almost immediately abandoned command.
It wasn't that He Man had completely given up on fighting; although he wasn't as outstanding as Zhang Niujiao, he wasn't incompetent either.
He simply had a better understanding of his own capabilities. He was well aware that if he were to issue complex commands and use his Warlord Trait, he would undoubtedly be swiftly locked onto by Lu HaiKong, which would only accelerate the collapse of his legion. So, He Man chose to respond with a near-inaction approach.
Lu HaiKong, of course, continued his unstoppable advance, but what of it?
While Lu HaiKong was advancing triumphantly, He Man hid within his army, and Lu HaiKong's momentum allowed He Man to easily sense their distance. He Man then used his soldiers as cover, hiding and evading Lu HaiKong within his legion.
It was a cowardly move, but also an effective one. For a moment, Lu HaiKong couldn't find He Man.
"This guy is so sneaky!"
After charging through He Man's legion a couple of times, Lu HaiKong quickly understood He Man's strategy. He paused briefly, then divided his Bloodstained Legion into two groups.
One group consisted of Dian Wei and Zhao Er, while the other had Wen Chou and Gao Lan. The two groups of the Bloodstained Legion separated and continued their assault on He Man's legion.
Splitting into two groups could be considered a foolish move from a certain perspective, but it did have some practicality.
After dividing into two groups, Lu HaiKong soon discovered He Man's movements. With Lu HaiKong's strength, once he was discovered, the word 'death' was practically written on He Man's body.
Upon seeing Lu HaiKong's figure, He Man's face turned pale, and he immediately attempted to use a talisman to escape.
Lu HaiKong had finally found a Historical Warrior, and he wasn't going to let him get away. Riding on Little Luzi, he charged forward. The Savage Axe in his hand violently cleared the path, and anyone who stood in Lu HaiKong's way was either cut down by the heavy axe or sent flying with a direct strike. There was simply no one who could stop him.
In a moment's time, Lu HaiKong arrived before He Man.
He Man's face changed drastically, and he had just taken out a talisman. Before he could use it, he saw Lu HaiKong, exuding dominance and bloodthirst, and he was stunned, not expecting Lu HaiKong to arrive so quickly.
"I've found you!"
A sinister smile appeared on Lu HaiKong's face, and he raised the Savage Axe in his hand. A domineering aura erupted wildly!
"Farewell!"
As soon as Lu HaiKong finished speaking, he brought the Savage Axe down. The power of this strike was so immense that even before the axe landed, a faint sound of sonic boom could be heard.
He Man was startled and, without thinking, dodged to the side.
He Man's reaction was indeed swift, and this dodge saved his life. However, the horse beneath him wasn't so lucky and was split in two by Lu HaiKong's axe.
"Not dead? Then have another axe!"
Lu HaiKong's brows furrowed as he realized that before charging in, he had raised the Basic Axe Technique to level 49, causing him to lose some precision in controlling his strength and speed, which allowed He Man to escape with his life.
In a flash, Lu HaiKong had raised the Basic Axe Technique to level 49, causing him to lose some precision in controlling his strength and speed, which allowed He Man to escape with his life.
However, He Man's horse had been split in two, so he couldn't escape. Lu HaiKong rode Little Luzi forward, intending to finish He Man off with another axe strike.
Suddenly, an unbelievably powerful force surged into the sky, startling Lu HaiKong. He immediately noticed that the direction of this force seemed to be where Lu Bu and his group were.
"What's going on?"
Previously, Lu HaiKong had used One Glimpse Ten Thousand Miles to understand the situation, so he hadn't sensed Zhang Liang's aura and didn't know that this force came from Zhang Liang.
Unconsciously, Lu HaiKong felt a bit of heart palpitations. But upon second thought, he realized that the force was far from him, so he wouldn't be the one in trouble. However, it was likely that someone among Lu Bu's group had died!
"A top-tier warrior has fallen on this battlefield. It's a pity, but it's not our concern. Let's finish off this guy, crush this legion, and then run!"
As Lu HaiKong spoke, he charged forward again. By this time, He Man had already run a certain distance, but no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't outrun Lu HaiKong, who was riding Little Luzi.
In a moment's time, Lu HaiKong arrived behind He Man, and the Savage Axe in his hand struck towards He Man's head.
"Another golden treasure chest!"
Just as Lu HaiKong spoke, he felt as if the Savage Axe in his hand had smashed into steel, and an astonishing counterforce surged back.
At that moment, Lu HaiKong stared in shock as he saw Zhang Liang standing before him.
"What..."
Before Lu HaiKong could finish his sentence, Zhang Liang's spear transformed into a golden light, piercing through Lu HaiKong's throat!
