Chapter 901: The Capture of Hua Xiong
Chapter 901: The Capture of Hua Xiong
September 25, 2017
Lu HaiKong had many reasons for not choosing to kill Lu Bu at this moment.
One reason was his ability to see the terrifying power lurking within Lu Bu through his Heaven's Eye Technique.
If Lu Bu were to unleash this power in a fight, Lu HaiKong would need to pay a certain price, even if he were to defeat Lu Bu.
Additionally, there was another crucial reason. Lu HaiKong didn't want to completely sever ties with Dong Zhuo, especially with Princess Sang still in Luoyang City.
If he were to kill Lu Bu now, the situation for Princess Sang would undoubtedly become more challenging. That's why he ultimately chose to let Lu Bu leave unharmed.
However, while Lu Bu could leave unscathed, the same couldn't be said for Hua Xiong and his Black Magic Army.
Lu HaiKong had only brought Zhao Er and Dian Wei with him, while on the other side, he had already sent Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan with the Elite Iron Blood Cavalry. As Lu HaiKong and Lu Bu met, the battle between the Black Magic Army and the Iron Blood Cavalry commenced.
On one side was the Black Magic Army, exuding a menacing black aura, while on the other was the Elite Iron Blood Cavalry, radiating an iron-like aura. The clash between the two forces quickly revealed the disparity in their strengths.
Despite the Black Magic Army's formidable abilities, with an average strength of around 60 points, they were no match for the Elite Iron Blood Cavalry.
However, this dominance wasn't solely due to strength. The Elite Iron Blood Cavalry's base strength was only 50 points, and even with the addition of the Flaming Blood Style and the Calming Mind Style, they only gained five points in strength.
While this difference in strength could've led to a one-sided victory, the real advantage of the Elite Iron Blood Cavalry was their equipment.
The Elite Iron Blood Cavalry was equipped with Elite-level crossbows, and as soon as the two forces met, before they could even get close, the crossbows started firing arrows like there was no tomorrow.
War is a costly affair, but for Lu HaiKong, it was a money-making opportunity.
The Elite Iron Blood Cavalry's crossbows rained down arrows, each costing tens of thousands of gold, and despite the Black Magic Army's strength, they couldn't withstand this lavish assault.
Surrounding the Black Magic Army was a layer of pseudo Black Magic Army, infected by the magic aura. But even with this protection, they couldn't withstand the Elite Iron Blood Cavalry's onslaught.
The Elite Iron Blood Cavalry's pursuit was relentless. The Black Magic Army, which had been happily wreaking havoc just moments ago, now found themselves dodging and running for cover under the barrage of arrows.
Hua Xiong, witnessing his once-proud army being hunted down, was furious.
He had barely started enjoying his rampage when this group of lavishly equipped cavalry started shooting down his men with arrows worth tens of thousands of gold each.
Watching his Black Magic Army, which had numbered less than two thousand, gradually being whittled down by the Elite Iron Blood Cavalry, Hua Xiong had enough.
Brandishing his large blade, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, and he turned towards the Elite Iron Blood Cavalry, charging forward.
As Hua Xiong rushed forward, a layer of faint black aura enveloped him, acting as an air armor, protecting him. In the face of this aura, the Elite Iron Blood Cavalry's crossbows, each arrow costing tens of thousands of gold, were rendered ineffective.
Seeing the arrows falling harmlessly before him, and with the Elite Iron Blood Cavalry closing in, a sinister smile crept onto Hua Xiong's face.
Soon, he would make this group of cavalry pay the price!
However, just as Hua Xiong's sinister smile emerged, three terrifying auras suddenly erupted, and three tiger-like generals charged towards him.
Seeing this, Hua Xiong's expression changed, and he looked like a faithful dog.
It was as if they were playing a game, and Hua Xiong thought he could sneakily approach the enemy tower, but before he could make a move, the enemy team, fully equipped and at max level, rushed towards him, howling and growling. In this situation, one could imagine Hua Xiong's frustration.
But Hua Xiong's emotions didn't matter at this point. The three generals, disregarding Hua Xiong's thoughts, closed in on him in the blink of an eye.
Leading the charge was Wen Chou, his long spear thrusting towards Hua Xiong.
With a strength of 95 points, Wen Chou, fully prepared, unleashed a powerful spear attack, catching Hua Xiong off guard, nearly sending his large blade flying.
As Hua Xiong barely stabilized his stance, before he could catch his breath, Gao Lan's battle axe swung towards him.
Title: The Battle's Climax
Chapter: The Final Showdown
As the battle raged on, the situation took a dramatic turn. Lu Bu, having just defeated Hua Xiong, was now faced with a new challenge. A powerful force emerged from the direction where Hua Xiong had been, and Lu Bu's instincts told him something was amiss.
"Hua Xiong, can you still fight?" Lu Bu asked, his voice laced with concern.
Hua Xiong, still on the ground, tried to respond, but his words were slurred, and he seemed to be in a daze. Just then, a loud roar echoed from the direction of the Black Magic Army, a signal for their retreat.
Lu Bu's expression darkened. He was about to investigate when he felt a surge of power behind him. Turning, he saw three powerful figures approaching, their auras radiating with a terrifying force.
"Lu HaiKong, you let him get away?" one of the figures, a powerful general, accused Lu HaiKong, his voice filled with anger.
Lu HaiKong, caught off guard, could only watch as Lu Bu rode away on his demonized Qing Chi. The general and his companions, despite their eagerness to pursue Lu Bu, found themselves unable to catch up due to the inferiority of their mounts.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wen Chou and his forces had successfully captured Hua Xiong. As they prepared to confront the Black Magic Army, they noticed something strange. The fake Black Magic Army soldiers around them had gone berserk, attacking their own allies. And the real Black Magic Army, which had been wreaking havoc, suddenly retreated upon hearing Lu Bu's roar before he departed.
"Are they preparing to flee?" Wen Chou and his men wondered, but instead of pursuing, they let the Black Magic Army escape. Turning their attention to the berserk soldiers, they fought their way through, leading their Iron Blood Cavalry to find Lu HaiKong.
As Wen Chou and his forces set out to find Lu HaiKong, the other group, having failed to stop Lu Bu, could only watch his retreating figure with frustration.
But no amount of anger could change the fact that Lu Bu had already left. They could only stare at his distant figure, unable to do anything.
In this situation, everyone could only prepare to return to their respective lords or their own camps, ready to clean up the mess.
However, at that moment, a powerful general among the group of warriors approached Lu HaiKong, pointing at his nose, "Lu HaiKong, you had a perfect opportunity right in front of you. Why didn't you stop Lu Bu? Is it because Dong Zhuo has some unspeakable secret?"
The air seemed to freeze at that accusation...
