Chapter 914: Mission Change (Thanks to 'Demon V Blood Angel' for the generous reward)
September 25, 2017
Outside Luoyang City.
From the outside, it seems like Luoyang City lacks proper leadership and command, but after a full day of battle, Lu HaiKong has a good understanding of the situation. It appears that Xu Rong is in charge, and he's deliberately holding back, perhaps fearing Lu HaiKong's direct assault if he were to show himself.
Xu Rong remains hidden, likely to avoid being an easy target for Lu HaiKong's attack. This is a wise choice, as Lu HaiKong might just take him down with a single strike. Lu HaiKong is known for his unconventional and aggressive tactics, rarely opting for a straightforward siege.
However, with Xu Rong in command, Lu HaiKong's usual efficiency is challenged. He's used to quick and effective methods, and this traditional siege is not his style.
But Luoyang City, being the capital, has formidable walls that even top-tier siege weapons might struggle to breach. These walls seem to have immunity to siege weapons, and even if they could be breached, it's uncertain if top-tier siege beasts could get close enough.
Without the use of siege weapons, Lu HaiKong must rely on the forces within Luoyang City to take down the gates.
However, Dong Zhuo seems well-prepared. Each gate is heavily guarded, and every gate has a martial artist with a strength level above 90, making it nearly impossible for Lu HaiKong to take down the gates.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong has no choice but to launch a direct assault. However, this is the least efficient method, and with Xu Rong in command, taking down Luoyang City will be challenging.
Lu HaiKong, never one to play by the rules, is not about to conduct a conventional attack. He's always been unconventional and aggressive, and his direct assaults are never straightforward.
As he plans his assault, Lu HaiKong is also preparing to take down the gates.
Meanwhile, Li Ru brings Lu Bu to escort Dong Zhuo into the Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Due to his injuries from the Tiger Prison, Dong Zhuo's condition has been poor. Aside from his physical injuries, his biggest issue is suppressing the power within him.
For several days, Dong Zhuo has been struggling to contain this power.
At this point, Dong Zhuo's struggle is no longer a balanced fight, but a desperate attempt to resist the overwhelming force.
No matter how hard Dong Zhuo tries, how much he sacrifices, he is gradually being overwhelmed by the power within.
Dong Zhuo feels his sanity is slipping away as he descends into an abyss of despair. His current state is something few could imagine, and he's in a terrible condition, filled with demonic energy.
Dong Zhuo's entire body is enveloped in a thick aura of demonic energy. His eyes glow with crimson murderous intent, and his every move exudes a terrifying, intense bloodlust.
Dong Zhuo, at this point, resembles a black hole of bloodthirst, dangerous and seemingly capable of devouring anyone who dares approach him.
He struggles to maintain a minimal level of consciousness, mechanically suppressing the power within him.
1. Li Ru brings Dong Zhuo into the palace and places him in the designated position.
2. Sitting in the designated position, Dong Zhuo's face shows a rare moment of hesitation.
3. After a while, Li Ru speaks with utmost seriousness, "Master, let it go!"
4. Hearing these words, Dong Zhuo's eyes reveal a trace of confusion, and he turns to Li Ru with a difficult and twisted expression.
5. At this moment, Li Ru seems to ask if Dong Zhuo is sure he wants to give up now, after having endured so much.
6. "Trust me!" Li Ru says with utmost gravity.
7. Upon hearing 'trust me,' Dong Zhuo's face relaxes, and a smile appears on Li Ru's face.
8. With difficulty, Dong Zhuo reluctantly utters the word 'good.'
9. Standing beside Lu Bu, Li Ru's eyes turn red as he sees Dong Zhuo's 'good' and his own unwavering expression.
10. "If you treat me as a loyal subject, I shall repay you as a loyal subject," Li Ru thinks.
11. The trust between Dong Zhuo and Li Ru is at a life-and-death level, where Dong Zhuo can trust Li Ru without hesitation.
12. With such trust from Dong Zhuo, how can Li Ru possibly betray it?
13. As long as Dong Zhuo lives, and as long as Li Ru can help Dong Zhuo break free from this damned fate, no price is too high.
14. Meanwhile, on Dong Zhuo's side, as the word 'good' is spoken, a terrifying aura erupts behind him.
15. At this moment, a black demonic blade appears behind Dong Zhuo, and as it does, a crazy, world-destroying aura surges, instantly changing the color of heaven and earth!
16. In this instant, everyone in Luoyang can feel the astonishing aura.
17. As the aura surges, a large net is lit up, and the aura spreads along this net, covering the entire city of Luoyang.
18. It's the 6-9-1 version without a doubt!
19. "Bad, the demon array is activated!" Wang Yun says, his face changing.
20. "Quick, the demon array has just been activated, we still have time, immediately think of a way to open the city gates and let Lu HaiKong's army in, we can borrow their strength, we must destroy the demon array within four hours, if we don't destroy the demon array, everyone in Luoyang City will die a tragic death!" Cai Yong's face pales, and he rushes out.
21. Zhang Wei and Wang Yun exchange glances, and Zhang Wei immediately turns and leaves towards Luoyang City.
22. At the same time, outside Luoyang City, a terrifying aura erupts.
23. Wang Yun and the others can feel it, there's no reason for Lu HaiKong to not feel it, the sky above Luoyang City darkens, and thick, black clouds spread.
24. Seeing this, Lu HaiKong's face changes, isn't this a copy of what happened at Fengling Valley over a year ago?
25. As Lu HaiKong is both shocked and angry, the system prompt appears again.
26. [Your task to oppose Dong Zhuo has changed again, a new task has been issued!]
27. Exorcism
28. Task Type: Special
29. Task Description: Dong Zhuo has set up a demon array in Luoyang City, intending to refine the city, please destroy Dong Zhuo's demon array before Luoyang City is refined, and kill Dong Zhuo.
30. Task Reward: ???
31. PS: There are eight hours until Luoyang City is refined.
32. Seeing this task change, Lu HaiKong's pupils constrict.
33. "No more playing, we must act now!"
34. Lu HaiKong's eyes shine, and he plans another assault, a large number of soldiers charge towards Luoyang City again.
35. However, this time, all martial power 90+ generals under Lu HaiKong, or perhaps all the alliance's 90+ martial power generals, join the assault.
36. Over a dozen 90+ martial power generals suddenly attack as they approach the city walls, and then jump down, killing the guards at the main gate.
37. Although Xu Rong and the top general guarding the gate escape, Lu HaiKong still manages to open the city gates and lead his soldiers in...
