Chapter 900: The Unexpected Arrival of Lu Bu
September 25th, 2017
In the imperial palace of Luoyang, within Liu Xie's chamber...
As the black flames engulfed Lu Bu's body, Dong Zhuo's face paled as he tightly gripped the Imperial Seal.
Dong Zhuo could sense the power within him, a power that roared with delight at this moment.
"Has it come to this, my dear Liu Bian? It seems I may have underestimated the warlords from the outside. I can only hope you'll finish this quickly."
Dong Zhuo's face turned somber, knowing that if Lu Bu couldn't stop the power he was using within three minutes, his own power would receive a terrifying boost.
At that moment, Dong Zhuo was afraid he might lose control, which would be extremely dangerous for him.
However, despite his concerns, Dong Zhuo wasn't overly worried about himself. He had unwavering faith in Lu Bu and was certain he wouldn't let him down.
In this world, the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu wasn't one of mutual exploitation as depicted in the novel. Due to Lu HaiKong's influence, Lu Bu had met Dong Zhuo at his most vulnerable moment, which had shaped their current relationship.
Their bond was beyond words, but it was evident that Dong Zhuo trusted Lu Bu to the extent of entrusting him with the power that could determine his life and death. This alone was proof of their deep connection.
In this situation, Dong Zhuo firmly believed that Lu Bu would resolve the issue within three minutes.
Even if Lu Bu couldn't finish off his opponent within three minutes, he would force himself out of his current state to ensure Dong Zhuo's safety.
Dong Zhuo trusted him on this, but he was still worried.
He only hoped that Lu Bu wouldn't be in danger if he couldn't defeat his opponent within those three minutes.
...
As Dong Zhuo worried, on the battlefield of Rongyang, an unexpected figure appeared.
"Quite a lively scene, mind if I join in?"
Lu HaiKong's playful voice rang out, and a purple arrow's energy was already in place.
For Lu Bu, there was no way to deal with this sudden arrow. He was well aware of the intensity of the black flames surrounding him.
It could even effortlessly defend against siege weapons, and in front of it, a single arrow's attack was like a drizzle.
However, just as Lu Bu was about to ignore it, a heart-pounding sensation spread within him, and he had an extremely strong intuition that he wouldn't die from this arrow!
A warrior's intuition was always strong and accurate, so in this moment, Lu Bu instantly turned around, and the purple arrow was met with a fierce strike from his War Bow.
Yet, as Lu Bu's War Bow landed on the arrow, he couldn't help but be surprised. The power transmitted from the arrow was too weak, and he effortlessly shattered the arrow.
Just as Lu Bu was puzzled, a ghostly divine aura surged, and Dian Wei rode a yellowish-brown war beast, charging towards them.
Seeing this old rival, Dian Wei couldn't contain his battle intent.
But at this moment, Lu Bu's face paled, not out of fear of Dian Wei's strength, but out of fear of Dian Wei's arrival.
When Lu HaiKong's voice had sounded earlier, Lu Bu, in his special state, hadn't paid much attention, so he hadn't recognized Lu HaiKong's presence. Now, seeing Dian Wei's arrival, Lu Bu realized it was Lu HaiKong.
Weren't Lu HaiKong and his group supposed to arrive tomorrow at the earliest? How did they get here so quickly? This situation was quite unfavorable for Lu Bu.
Seeing Dian Wei charging towards him, exuding a terrifying aura, Lu Bu didn't have time to think. As Dian Wei rushed in, Lu Bu's Fangtian Huaji clashed with Dian Wei's twin halberds.
The two iron halberds and Lu Bu's Fangtian Huaji collided with a loud 'Hong,' creating a deafening boom.
Where Dian Wei and Lu Bu stood, a massive cloud of dust rose, and within the dust, a figure retreated on horseback, pushed back by several meters.
The other side, gaining the advantage, didn't let up. His mount rapidly charged forward, reaching the figure that had been pushed back, and with a swing of his Fangtian Huaji, he prepared to finish off his opponent.
Clearly, Lu Bu had gained the upper hand, and his strength, already formidable at 99, had skyrocketed after unleashing the black power.
Lu HaiKong, with his exceptional strength and mastery of the bow, was in the midst of a fierce battle against Dian Wei, whose martial prowess was equally formidable. Despite Lu HaiKong's confidence, he was cautious of Dian Wei's power, not wanting to underestimate his opponent.
As Lu HaiKong prepared to release another arrow, he felt a surge of anxiety, a sensation he had experienced before. Although the previous arrows hadn't been exceptionally powerful, Lu HaiKong didn't dare take any chances, especially with Dian Wei's formidable strength.
Lu HaiKong sensed that Dian Wei hadn't unleashed his full power yet, and he knew that if he didn't take him down now, it would be a challenging task later.
With this in mind, Lu HaiKong unleashed a barrage of arrows, each one imbued with dark energy, aiming to pierce Dian Wei's defenses.
Dian Wei's archery skills were impressive, but he had severely underestimated Lu HaiKong's arrow. Lu HaiKong's arrow wasn't just an ordinary projectile; it was infused with the dragon energy he had mastered, making it an incredibly powerful weapon.
As Lu HaiKong released another arrow, he felt a surge of anxiety, a sensation that grew stronger as he drew closer to Dian Wei. Despite his confidence, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
Just as Lu HaiKong was about to release another arrow, a purple arrow flew towards him.
The anxiety he felt was overwhelming, and although he had experienced it before, he couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. Lu HaiKong!" he thought to himself.
Lu HaiKong didn't hesitate; he unleashed another arrow, this time infused with his dragon energy, aiming directly at Dian Wei's chest.
Dian Wei, sensing the danger, didn't waste a moment. He unleashed his own arrow, which flew towards Lu HaiKong with incredible speed.
Lu HaiKong, caught off guard, tried to dodge the arrow, but it was too late. The arrow pierced through his armor, hitting his shoulder and knocking him off his horse.
Dian Wei, seeing Lu HaiKong fall, rushed towards him, his eyes bloodshot with rage. He was about to unleash his ultimate technique when a group of lords surrounded him, preventing him from reaching Lu HaiKong.
Lu HaiKong, on the ground, looked up at Dian Wei, who was now surrounded by the lords. He assessed the situation and made a swift decision.
Three minutes had passed, and Lu HaiKong, still on the ground, realized that he had to act quickly. He mounted his horse and, with a determined gaze, rode towards Lu HaiKong, who was now surrounded by the lords.
As Lu HaiKong approached, he made a decision. He charged towards Dian Wei, who was still surrounded by the lords, and unleashed a barrage of arrows.
Dian Wei, taken by surprise, couldn't react in time. Lu HaiKong's arrows pierced through his armor, hitting his shoulder and knocking him off his horse.
Dian Wei, enraged, rushed towards Lu HaiKong, who was now on the ground. He was about to finish Lu HaiKong off when a group of lords intervened, surrounding Dian Wei and preventing him from reaching Lu HaiKong.
Lu HaiKong, seeing the situation, made a bold move. He rode towards the lords, his eyes filled with determination. "Tell Dong Zhuo to give me an explanation, or I'll go to Luoyang myself!" Lu HaiKong declared, his voice carrying a hint of threat.
Dian Wei, hearing Lu HaiKong's words, didn't respond. Instead, he mounted his horse and galloped away.
Lu HaiKong could have stopped him, but he chose not to.
"Go back and tell Dong Zhuo to give me a satisfactory explanation, or I'll take matters into my own hands in Luoyang!" Lu HaiKong declared, his voice carrying a hint of warning.
