Chapter 630: Saving Yan Liang
Chapter 630: Saving Yan Liang
September 25, 2017
"Are you ordering me?"
The chilling voice of Lu HaiKong echoed, causing the deputy of Zhang He to feel a chill run down his spine.
"This subordinate dares not, General Lu, you've misunderstood."
At this moment, the man was drenched in cold sweat, feeling as if he was facing a colossal beast, and any misstep could result in being swallowed whole.
"Enough, I don't want to waste words with you either. Leave him and him behind, and get out of here. Tell your lord to come and retrieve your men from me!" Lu HaiKong pointed at Zhang He and Yan Liang, speaking in a cold tone.
As soon as Lu HaiKong finished speaking, the deputy's face changed once again.
Lu HaiKong intended to keep Zhang He and Yan Liang, which would surely cost the deputy his life. How could he explain this to his lord when he returned?
However, Lu HaiKong completely ignored his concerns and, without another word, gave Zhao Er a glance. Zhao Er, without hesitation, headed towards the Black Armored Legion, preparing to capture Yan Liang.
What surprised Lu HaiKong slightly was that as Zhao Er approached, the Black Armored Legion raised their horse-cleaving sabers and surrounded Zhao Er.
"What? What are you doing?" Lu HaiKong gave the deputy a cold glance.
The deputy was startled but quickly recovered, a cold smile appearing on his face.
Zhao Er hadn't gone over yet, and he had almost forgotten about the powerful weapon under his command. Even though Zhang He was captured, with the Black Armored Legion at his disposal, now that they were already at odds, he didn't need to fear Lu HaiKong. He directly threatened Lu HaiKong.
The deputy's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Apologies, General Lu, but this Black Armored Legion is led by General Zhang. Without his command, no one can move them! Unless you release General Zhang and let him order his men to release your subordinate?"
Watching the deputy's stubbornness, Liu Bei and the others, who had been observing the scene for a while, could already guess the fate of that man.
As expected, after the deputy finished speaking, Lu HaiKong let out a cold laugh, "My men? Do you need your men to release them?"
As soon as Lu HaiKong spoke, a domineering aura surged from his body, and with a quick squeeze of his legs, he rode towards the Black Armored Legion with Lu HaiKong.
Witnessing this, the deputy was initially stunned, but then a disdainful smirk appeared on his lips, and he even felt a hint of schadenfreude.
With a clear understanding of the Black Armored Legion's strength, he really think a mere Lu HaiKong could do anything to them? In his eyes, Lu HaiKong was at most walking into a trap, and he was already anticipating the moment when Lu HaiKong would be surrounded by his Black Armored Legion, eventually having to beg for mercy.
However, the deputy's cold smile and fantasy lasted only for a few seconds before freezing on his face, his smile instantly turning into horror.
In just a few seconds, Lu HaiKong appeared before the Black Armored Legion, and those Black Armored Cavalrymen, unaware of their impending doom, tried to stop Lu HaiKong. With a swing of his savage axe, Lu HaiKong knocked a Black Armored Cavalryman off his horse.
"Not bad!"
Lu HaiKong chuckled lightly, as he had been curious about the capabilities of these Black Armored Cavalrymen.
With a single swing of his axe, he realized that these Black Armored Cavalrymen were not to be underestimated. With their trait's enhancement, the equipment of the Black Armored Cavalrymen almost reached the defense level of the 'Elite' tier.
If Lu HaiKong's Blood Bath Army and Black Wind Army were to face them, they wouldn't fare well.
However, in front of Lu HaiKong, the Black Armored Cavalrymen lost their intimidation. Just how terrifying was this man's strength? Even the formidable Black Armored Cavalrymen couldn't withstand a single swing of Lu HaiKong's axe.
Without Zhang He's leadership, Lu HaiKong directly activated the 'Unmatched Tyrant' skill, causing explosions along his path.
Wherever Lu HaiKong went, the Black Armored Cavalrymen, who were fierce and god-like in front of the Yellow Turban Army, would surely be defeated.
In just a matter of minutes, Lu HaiKong had killed and slaughtered over twenty of them. Witnessing this, both Zhang He, who was captured by Dian Wei, and his deputy had looks of shock and pain in their eyes.
Lu HaiKong wasn't there to rescue anyone; he was there to kill. In just a few minutes, he had slain over twenty men, causing Zhang He, whose throat was gripped by Dian Wei, to feel the pain of losing his men. Zhang He desperately tried to signal his deputy with his eyes.
The deputy didn't need Zhang He's signals; as soon as Lu HaiKong started his rampage, he began shouting for him to stop, pleading and begging Lu HaiKong to cease his actions.
But Lu HaiKong acted as if he hadn't heard a word, continuing his onslaught for another ten minutes and slaying nearly a hundred Black Armored Cavalrymen before he finally stopped. Lu HaiKong then calmly returned with Yan Liang and Zhao Er.
Lu HaiKong had returned, but the Black Armored Legion's original vigor had been taken away by him.
In just twenty minutes, Lu HaiKong had eliminated one-tenth of the entire Black Armored Legion. If this continued for a couple of hours, would this legion be completely annihilated by Lu HaiKong?
Zhang He's deputy couldn't even imagine it, looking at Lu Haikong with lingering fear as he returned, still appearing carefree. He didn't dare say another word.
"Scram! Go back and tell your lord to come to Juelu to retrieve his men!"
This time, Zhang He's deputy didn't dare speak, he anxiously glanced at Zhang He, and finally turned back, leading the Black Armored Legion that had been routed by Lu Haikong alone.
As Zhang He's deputy left in disarray, he didn't notice the gravity on Lu Haikong's face.
It was only after that twenty-minute clash that Lu Haikong realized the strength of this Black Armored Legion far exceeded his expectations, it was terrifying!
The pressure from this thousand-man Black Armored Legion was not insignificant to Lu Haikong. In his heart, he secretly estimated that if the Black Armored Legion had Zhang He's command and activated their Legion Trait, he would probably have to flee in disarray. A Black Armored Legion like that could probably withstand two to three warlords with a strength of 90 or above!
It was for this very reason that Lu Haikong became interested in the owner of this Black Armored Legion. He wanted to see what kind of being was lurking in this concentration.
........................................................................
Almost at the same time Lu Haikong was dealing with Zhang He's deputy, an incident occurred near Bohai Prefecture.
Coincidentally, this incident in Bohai Prefecture was also related to Zhang He's lord.
On the Bohai Highway, a group of about a hundred people, pulling a horse-drawn carriage, was heading towards Bohai City.
In a 1-9-1-9 book, a 1-0-0-0 version!
Although these hundred people were all dressed casually, each one was a robust and powerful Han warrior, exuding a fierce aura. The one leading them had cold, tiger-like eyes, clearly not someone to be trifled with, and his strength was at least above 80.
It was evident that after this group entered the Bohai Highway, everyone relaxed significantly, indicating they had returned to their base.
As soon as they entered Bohai, the situation on the highway and outside Bohai also became noticeably different.
Within Bohai, there were noticeably more merchant caravans, and the number of travelers had also increased significantly. Just from this, it was clear that Bohai was much more stable than other areas in Ji Province, indicating that Zhang He's lord indeed possessed considerable capabilities.
Just as this group was relaxing, a woman dressed in a white robe with a veil over her face approached them from the opposite direction.
Upon seeing this woman, the group couldn't help but become slightly alert.
Although this world wasn't the true Three Kingdoms world, women still held a relatively low status in society. In most cases, it was rare for women to travel alone. If a woman was traveling alone, there was no doubt that she was no ordinary woman, and there was a high possibility that she was an Outsider.
So when this woman appeared, the group tensed up, cautiously on guard.
However, if caution was effective, many accidents wouldn't have happened.
The woman directly approached them, and upon seeing this, everyone's scalp went numb. The members of the guard subconsciously stepped forward to stop her.
But before they could act, the woman suddenly disappeared from their sight.
Everyone's faces changed, and they anxiously searched for her. Soon, they found the woman, and at that moment, she had already appeared beside their carriage, taking out a talisman and pasting it on the body of the man inside the carriage, who was tied up by them.
"Not good!"
The leader's face changed, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a terrifying aura surge from within the carriage.
Immediately, the carriage was violently blown apart, and a tall, burly man emerged! Who was this man if not Guan Hai?
Guan Hai jumped out and directly snatched a weapon from a nearby guard, not saying a word as he began his slaughter.
Guan Hai's strength of 95 was beyond anyone's ability to handle. In just over ten minutes, this group of about a hundred people was completely slaughtered by Guan Hai's blade.
Even the one with a strength above 80 couldn't resist Guan Hai and was effortlessly taken down by his blade.
After Guan Hai had slaughtered everyone, a veiled woman appeared before him again.
Unexpectedly, when Guan Hai saw this woman, she was on guard, showing no gratitude towards her savior. She even pointed her long sword at the woman and demanded, "Who are you? How did you get the Yellow Turban Spell?"
The woman looked at Guan Hai and answered irrelevantly, "Calculate the time, it should be about right!"
Guan Hai was stunned, and by the time he reacted, his entire body went soft, and he collapsed.
On the same day, Zhang He's lord had simultaneously subdued two warriors with a strength above 90, but an unexpected turn of events occurred. When that fellow received this news, he would probably be furious, right?
