Chapter 29: Western Liang's Fierce Tiger VS Pingzhou's Flying General

  Dong Zhuo looked at the scene just now, and thinking about it now is really frightening. He almost lost his beloved general. After seeing that everything was fine, he let out a long sigh of relief and hurriedly shouted to those around him: "What are you still standing there for? Don't hurry up and lead the war horses, quickly!"

  A general emerged from Dong Zhuo's army, leading a fine steed from Xiliang to the center of the battlefield.

  After changing into the war horse brought by his own troops, he looked at Lü Bu who was quietly waiting in front of him and cupped his hands to say: "Thank you for sparing my life, General Fengxian."

  Lü Bu swung the halberd in his hand and said calmly to Qiu Shui: "Don't talk nonsense, if you hadn't changed your mount, I would have lost long ago."

  Autumn water knew from the battle just now that if Lv Bu could display such a masculine halberd technique, he was absolutely not like the historical records, but a selfish and unscrupulous person. Because a person's martial arts will change with their mood when they reach the realm of the grandmaster, if it is really a greedy and timid, selfish and unscrupulous person, it is impossible to display such a masculine halberd technique.

  Qiu Shui swung the painting halberd in his hand and roared at Lü Bu: "Brother Fengxian, let's do it again."

  Lü Bu's face was cold, his eyes fixed tightly on Qiu Shui, saying word by word: "Use all your strength, don't hold back." After finishing speaking, he suddenly slapped the war horse and charged forward.

  Chiaki heard the other person's words and was taken aback for a moment, but quickly reacted. It seemed that the other person felt that their physical strength had not decreased at all, suspecting that they had not used their full strength. This is truly unjust, it's really just my own physical problem, I didn't hold back at all.

  No matter what Qiū Shuǐ thought, the other party was already rushing over, so Qiū Shuǐ quickly put away her own little thoughts.

  Since you want to use all your strength, I'll use all my strength too. With that thought, Akane mobilized the spiritual energy within her body and suddenly felt a surge of power, causing her body to expand slightly. She then raised her halberd and swung it directly at Lü Bu's incoming spear thrust.

  Clang! Clang! In an instant, Autumn Water slapped away Lü Bu's incoming attack to one side, and immediately countered with a thrust of his spear. Lü Bu was also formidable, gritting his teeth as he raised the halberd in his hand, using it to block Autumn Water's offensive with a loud clang.

  Clang! The continuous metallic ringing sound rose, in the blink of an eye, Autumn Water and Lü Bu had exchanged dozens of blows. When the two horses parted ways, Lü Bu's chest heaved like a bellows, panting heavily, his arms grasping the halberd trembling slightly. Just a moment ago, both men had unleashed their martial arts to the extreme, tightly packed in the instant when the two horses intersected, each attacking dozens of times, showing just how fast the two men's movements were.

  As for the two warriors, only a glimpse of their horses crossing was seen, and in an instant, a burst of spear flowers flashed in the air, without seeing the movements of either person.

  Dong Zhuo's army only had Dong Zhuo himself narrow his eyes, unexpectedly, in this world there was actually someone with such high martial power, instantly able to swing the halberd in his hand over a dozen times.

  Dong Zhuo was a heroic figure in his youth, and he could be said to have seen and experienced much. He himself was also a first-rate military general. Although he is now old and no longer has the bravery of his youth, his eyesight is still good. As far as Dong Zhuo knows, throughout the land, only Qiang Shen Tong Yuan can shoot nine arrows in an instant. In all the years that Dong Zhuo has been on military campaigns, he has never seen a fierce general who can shoot nine times in an instant. Today, however, he saw two people do it at once.

  And today's two are even more powerful than the legendary Gun God, no wonder every time they go on a campaign, Autumn Water always complains that there is no worthy opponent. I thought that martial arts was just a super first-class peak, but I didn't expect to see two people with unparalleled and unmatched martial arts in one day.

  Dong Zhuo gazed at the two martial generals clashing at the forefront, his eyes filled with fervor. If he could obtain these two extraordinary martial generals, wouldn't the world be within his grasp?

  However, the other party may not think so. When Ding Yuan saw that Lü Bu did not take advantage of the opponent's broken hoof to pursue and attack, he suddenly felt a wave of anger and even more disgust towards Lü Bu, thinking that this Lü Bu was arrogant and complacent.

  Under his account, however, were two other martial generals, who looked at the two people on the battlefield with a majestic and domineering demeanor, their faces filled with admiration and whispers.

  "General Gao, General Lü, and this fierce tiger of Xiliang, which one is more powerful?" A general with a face as white as jade, holding a long knife with a tiger's head, asked a commander who held a black iron spear with a cold expression.

  It turned out that these two were the famous Gao Shun and Zhang Liao in the history of the Three Kingdoms. If Lv Bu's martial arts was the highest in the Three Kingdoms, then Gao Shun's trapped array camp was the first in group combat. In history, he relied on his eight hundred trapped array camps to defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, capturing Liu Bei's wife and children. At that time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still had thousands of soldiers under their command, plus two enemies worth ten thousand people. As a result, Gao Shun led eight hundred people to defeat them, fleeing in disarray, and even left his own sister-in-law on the battlefield to be captured. This shows the strength of the trapped array camp.

  Zhang Liao was not famous in the early days, but in the later period, he shook the world with his power, and with a hundred riders, he broke through Sun Quan's army of 100,000, killing so many that the Eastern Wu dynasty was bathed in blood. He almost captured Sun Quan alive, and at that time, the people of Eastern Wu would say that just mentioning Zhang Liao's name could stop children from crying at night, which shows his extraordinary abilities.

  Gao's face was cold and stern, like a block of ice. He glanced at Zhang Liao and said in a chilly tone: "General Lv and the Western Liang's Fierce Tiger are evenly matched, but that Western Liang's Fierce Tiger is indeed a hero among heroes. If he hadn't given up his advantage with his peerless treasured horse, General Lv would have lost long ago."

  Zhang Liao nodded after hearing this and also admired the other's heroic spirit. Just as he was about to turn his head to watch the battlefield, Gao Shun's voice came from beside his ear again.

  "General Lü will lose if he continues to fight!" Gao Shun said with a cold face, but his eyes were filled with worry.

  Zhang Liao was shocked upon hearing Gao Shun's words and hastily asked, "Didn't you say that the two of them were evenly matched in strength?"

  "Look, General Lü is almost exhausted now, while the opponent is also drenched in sweat. But have you noticed the rhythm of his breathing?" High Shun's eyes never left the battlefield as he spoke.

  Zhang Liao heard Gao Shun's words and quickly observed the two people. The result was indeed as Gao Shun said, General Lv was panting heavily, while his opponent was breathing steadily without a hint of exhaustion. Seeing this situation, Zhang Liao took a deep breath.

  Lü Bu's martial arts, Zhang Liao had a deep understanding of it, and every soldier in the state also had an understanding of it. When had they ever seen their own flying general panting like a cow when fighting with others? That time wasn't just a few rounds to defeat the opponent, those who could last more than ten rounds under their own general were rare. In his heart, he secretly admired and thought that General Lü was already the most formidable person in this world, but unexpectedly, the opponent was even more formidable than General Lü by a hair's breadth.

  After the two horses crossed, Qiu Shui looked at his opponent in front of him, panting like a cow, but still insisting on not giving up. In his heart, he secretly admired himself, if it weren't for relying on the undead system, with infinite physical strength, his opponent would have cut him down on the battlefield long ago with his experience.

  "Come again!" Lü Bu gazed at his opponent in front of him, his lips dry and his voice somewhat hoarse and low.

  Qiu Shui heard the other's words and waved his hand, shouting: "Feng Xian brother's martial arts are strong, I admire him." Then he turned his head to indicate that he looked at the sky and said: "Today's weather is already late, both sides' soldiers are exhausted, how about we fight again tomorrow?"

  Lü Bu heard the other's words and knew that they were giving him a chance to save face. If he continued to fight, he would surely lose, as he was already exhausted, while his opponent still had energy left.

  But Lü Bu was indeed Lü Bu, worthy of the title of War God of the Three Kingdoms. With a proud expression on his face, he shouted loudly at the soldiers of both armies: "Losing is losing, I, Lü Bu, do not need anyone's sympathy."

  Both sides heard Lü Bu's shout, Dong Zhuo's army burst into a cheer, while Lü Bu's army was depressed, Ding Yuan stared at Lü Bu fiercely, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

  Qiu Shui responded loudly with deep admiration: "Just now, General did not take advantage of the situation, how can we talk about winning or losing? Today we are even, let's fight again another day." After finishing speaking, Qiu Shui rode his horse back to the camp without waiting for Lü Bu's response.

  When Pingzhou army heard his words, they thought, yes, their general did not take advantage of others' danger, and it couldn't be considered a loss. The entire Pingzhou army cheered up.

  Mars, Mars... The warriors on both sides saw the majestic and fearless demeanor of their respective generals, as well as the incredibly powerful martial arts they had never seen before. They all took out the weapons in their hands and frantically beat them while shouting.

  Under the slanting sun, Lü Bu carried his halberd and gazed at the autumn water as he slowly returned to the camp, silent for a moment.

  The city of Luoyang was filled with the sound of wailing and drums from outside the city walls, which lasted from dawn till dusk, causing everyone in the city to worry at home.

  Bang!

  After both sides sounded the golden horn to retreat, in Ding Yuan's tent, Ding Yuan picked up something from the table and slammed it onto the ground, glaring at Lü Bu who had returned to camp.

  "What do you want to do, Lü Bu? Tell me clearly! You had the chance to kill the enemy, but you gave up such a good opportunity. Do you still have your commander in your eyes?! Ah! You'd better speak!" Ding Yuan roared with anger at Lü Bu standing in the camp.

  Lü Bu heard Ding Yuan's words, his forehead bulged with blue veins, his heart filled with rage, his right hand tightly grasped the halberd, and he did not respond to Ding Yuan's questioning.

  Many of Ding Yuan's generals were also dissatisfied with his words, after all, today's events were witnessed by everyone. The men of Bingzhou had been fighting against the northern barbarians for years and the entire province was filled with admiration for men who were skilled in martial arts and acted with integrity. Ding Yuan had truly lost the spirit of a man from Bingzhou.

  Ding Yuan bellowed for half a day, and seeing that the generals under his command had no response, his eyes blazed with anger as if they were about to spit fire at everyone in the tent.

  The entire military tent of Pingzhou fell silent for a moment, and then Ding Yuan took a deep breath, sat down on the commander's seat, with a gloomy face, and asked Lü Bu: "Fengxian, what are your chances of winning against Dong Zhuo's fierce tigers?"

  Lü Bu raised his head and calmly replied, "A warrior values three things: a divine weapon, protective armor, and an extraordinary horse. The opponent has all three, but if it's a fair fight, within 500 rounds we won't be outdone, after 500 rounds I'll fall into disadvantage, and by the thousandth round I will surely lose."

  Ding Yuan's face turned even darker upon hearing Lü Bu's words, and he was furious in his heart. How could Lü Bu be so imprudent as to say such things in the main tent in front of all the generals? Didn't this affect the morale of the troops?

  Ding Yuan sank into thought for a moment, then said to Lü Bu in a gloomy tone: "Tomorrow, you go and fight him again." He then instructed Cao Xing, who was standing at the entrance of the tent: "When the two are engaged in fierce battle, shoot a cold arrow and kill that thorn in Dong Zhuo's side. I'll see how he dares to fight me again."
