Chapter 921: Fury

Luoyang Imperial Palace, Center of the Blood-Red Formation.
For Li Ru, everything was going according to plan. He needed the [Crimson Heaven Sword] and was pleased to see that Lu Bu had successfully delivered it. He required some calming time, and the restless factor of Lu HaiKong was also contained within the formation.
Everything was going perfectly, and all he needed now was a couple of hours to solidify his plan.
The so-called 'reversal of fate' was, in reality, a rebellion against the system's will.
In truth, the one in an absolute disadvantageous position was not Lu HaiKong, but rather, Dong Zhuo was the formidable opponent.
In this situation, it was nearly impossible for Dong Zhuo to calmly wait for those two to three hours.
As Li Ru believed everything was about to be sealed, a surge of murderous intent soared into the sky.
"Dong Zhuo, I will make you pay!"
With a roar, Lu HaiKong charged forward, raising his new Barbarian Axe and aiming it directly at Dong Zhuo.
"Not good! Stop him!" Li Ru's face paled as he shouted.
In reality, there was no need for words at this moment. As Lu HaiKong rushed forward, Lu Bu also took action.
When Lu HaiKong reached Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu's Fangtian Huaji intercepted the Barbarian Axe.
"Sorry, Lu, with me here, you can't even touch a single hair of my lord!" Lu Bu declared confidently after blocking Lu HaiKong's axe.
However, as Lu Bu finished speaking, Lu HaiKong's eyes flashed with golden light, and the dragon energy within him surged.
"Get out of my way!"
With Lu HaiKong's roar, his Barbarian Axe slashed towards Lu Bu.
Seeing Lu HaiKong's axe coming towards him, Lu Bu skillfully maneuvered his Fangtian Huaji, dodging the axe and aiming for Lu HaiKong's neck.
As a top-tier expert, Lu Bu was confident in his abilities. He believed that if Lu HaiKong didn't retreat and defend, his halberd would slit Lu HaiKong's throat.
The situation, however, proved to be more challenging than expected. As Lu Bu's halberd aimed for Lu HaiKong's neck, he realized he couldn't complete the strike, and although Lu HaiKong's axe hadn't reached him yet, the wind from its blade had already buffeted his body.
Lu Bu's face paled, and his inner strength surged as he forcefully twisted his body during the attack, evading Lu HaiKong's axe.
Although Lu Bu successfully avoided Lu HaiKong's axe, he couldn't escape the aftermath of the strike. Lu HaiKong's axe blast sent him flying, and even though he wasn't directly hit, his armor showed large cracks.
As Lu Bu and Lu HaiKong clashed, behind Lu HaiKong, Dian Wei and the others had arrived.
Seeing the four warriors approaching, both Lu Bu and Li Ru's faces paled.
If even Lu HaiKong was giving Lu Bu such a hard time, what about the additional three warriors?
"Take them down!"
Lu HaiKong, not wanting to waste words at this point, gave the order as Dian Wei and the others prepared to engage.
Upon receiving Lu HaiKong's command, Dian Wei and the middle-aged man were about to act, but at that moment, Li Ru's eyes glinted with determination, and he spoke up.
"Wait, Lu. We can talk this out. Why are you so aggressive? You and my lord are old acquaintances; this isn't right."
Li Ru's words made Lu HaiKong roll his eyes. Without a word, he waved his hand, signaling Dian Wei and the others to continue.
Just then, Li Ru spoke again, his words carrying a hint of nonchalance: "Lu, this is not giving my lord or the Third Princess any face, is it?"
Li Ru's words instantly halted Lu HaiKong's furious actions.
