Chapter 567: The Decisive Strike
Chapter 567: The Decisive Strike
September 25, 2017
Among the Yellow Turban Army, who is the strongest?
The answer is undoubtedly Zhang Jiao, and anyone you ask will tell you the same.
It is common knowledge that the biggest boss of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is none other than Zhang Jiao.
As Lu HaiKong was about to thrust his spear, a sudden, inexplicable heart palpitation arose, undoubtedly stemming from Zhang Jiao.
Regarding the true leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Lu HaiKong had been vigilant from the very beginning, so when this heart-pounding sensation occurred, he reacted swiftly.
However, Lu HaiKong's response was not to retract his hand but to unleash the surging purple aura throughout his body. The thrusting motion of his long spear transformed into a throwing motion.
This guy, Lu HaiKong, had never been one to hold back his temper. Having been killed by Zhang Liang twice before and after, how could he possibly give up the chance to slay Zhang Liang due to a slight sense of danger?
The long spear in his hand struck out swiftly, its speed akin to lightning, leaving no time for anyone to react. In an instant, it directly pinned itself onto Zhang Liang's forehead.
This strike, infused with Lu HaiKong's full power, smashed into Zhang Liang's forehead, and in that moment, Zhang Liang's head was pierced by the spear. The system also provided a prompt at this moment.
The system informed Lu HaiKong that he had successfully slain one of the Yellow Turban Army's bosses, but at this moment, Lu HaiKong had no time to consider the astonishing rewards he might have obtained.
At this moment, Lu HaiKong's mind was highly focused, ready to face the strongest boss of the Yellow Turban Army.
Almost simultaneously as Lu HaiKong's spear struck down Zhang Liang, he seemed to faintly hear Zhang Jiao's mournful cry. Immediately, a gust of wind rose, dark clouds gathered, and in an instant, the area outside Guangping City transformed from daylight to darkness.
In the blink of an eye, the sky and earth changed color!
This situation was a first for Lu HaiKong and many others present, as no one had ever witnessed such a phenomenon before. Many who had not experienced the Battle of Ye might even mistake it for a sudden change in weather.
Only those who had been through the Battle of Ye understood that this was the work of that person!
"It's him!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei exchanged a glance, and the two short words they spoke carried the weight of a thousand pounds.
Even on the faces of these tough men, a hint of fear could be seen.
For those who had not faced Zhang Jiao personally, they would never comprehend his true power! Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the ones who had directly confronted Zhang Jiao.
Lu HaiKong gazed at the suddenly darkened sky and earth, and despite his strength reaching 104 at this moment, he still felt a chill run through him.
It was evident that even someone as powerful as Lu HaiKong might not be a match for this unrevealed strongest boss.
Looking at the sky, everyone who understood what had happened had their faces turn pale. Perhaps only Dantai Mingjing could feel slightly more at ease.
He was well aware that Julu was Zhang Jiao's stronghold, and he knew that Zhang Jiao had the ability to create such a grand spectacle in Ye. Therefore, within his headquarters, Zhang Jiao undoubtedly possessed such means and might even unleash even more astonishing power.
But he still came because he also understood that since Zhang Jiao's ultimate move failed at the critical moment in Ye, it would not succeed here either!
"A power that should not exist, having already appeared, must have a way to be suppressed."
Dantai Mingjing was well aware of this, so he felt no fear in the face of the sky and earth turning dark.
(End)
In his eyes, whether it was Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao, or even the sages within the Yellow Turban Army who had accepted the fate-altering mission, they were all just pitiful specks of dust in the face of the grand scheme.
"The plot, no, the heavens or the system, isn't irreversible, but not at this moment!"
As Dan Tai Ming Jing muttered, several faint purple rays of light suddenly flared up.
After a moment, the originally discolored sky and earth slowly returned to their original state.
The raging winds and the dark clouds that filled the sky vanished in just a few fleeting moments, as if they had never appeared at all.
Only a handful of people truly understood what had transpired during this brief interlude.
Dan Tai Ming Jing was one of them, and Lu HaiKong barely qualified as half of one.
He knew what he knew, not because he had always known it, but at the moment when those purple rays of light flared up, Lu HaiKong vaguely heard Zhang Jiao's agonized voice amidst the wailing.
Someone had injured Zhang Jiao, or rather, someone had suppressed him!
Lu HaiKong instantly gained this insight, but it was precisely because of this realization that he became even more perplexed, and that was why he stood there, dazed, staring at the sky.
At this moment, numerous questions flooded his mind.
Just how powerful was Zhang Jiao? The ability to change the color of the sky and earth should be at least a hundred-point existence, right?
In the 1619 book, it clearly stated...
And who was the one who had forcefully suppressed Zhang Jiao? Was it someone from this world, like Zuoci, or was it the so-called system?
Lu HaiKong's questions didn't stop there, but he didn't pursue them further.
Vaguely, he had an inexplicable intuition that this question wasn't something he should be considering at the moment, and it was even more of a topic he shouldn't touch upon.
Prematurely delving into this question might only bring him harm and no benefit.
Sometimes, it wasn't just the smart ones who held the advantage; being a little foolish could sometimes be much better than being a little smarter.
How did that saying go? It's better to be a little foolish!
Lu HaiKong shook his head, casting aside those thoughts, and picked up the items that Zhang Liang had dropped, followed by his own Savage Axe.
Then, turning around, he approached Dian Wei and lifted the two-meter-tall, two-hundred-plus-kilogram giant into his arms.
As he held Dian Wei, Lu HaiKong, for the first time, looked at Lu Bu with a relatively gentle expression.
"In five days, come to Handan!"
Lu HaiKong, carrying Dian Wei, jumped onto Little Luzi.
Subsequently, under Lu HaiKong's command, the Bloodstained Legion set off once again.
He Man's legion didn't dare, and couldn't, stop them for a moment!
Because He Man's army had already collapsed when Zhang Liang appeared, and Zhang Liang used the talisman to swap positions with He Man, who was now back in Guangping City.
Without He Man's command, his legion naturally crumbled upon witnessing this earth-shattering event.
However, even if they had collapsed, He Man's legion wasn't capable of stopping Lu HaiKong.
After Lu HaiKong and the Bloodstained Legion left, Lu Bu and the others returned to the battlefield, joining the Han Army Camp, continuing their battle, well, their retreat, to be precise...
