Lyu Bu casually swung back his halberd, utterly disregarding Zhang Fei’s attack. In that moment, the Sky Piercer seemed to stretch countless times its length, instantly appearing at Zhang Fei’s neck as Lyu Bu swung it effortlessly.

”Clang!” Zhang Fei’s eyes blazed blood-red. In the face of imminent danger, he desperately deflected the Sky Piercer with his Serpent Spear. Still, the sharpness of Lyu Bu’s halberd left a shallow wound on Zhang Fei’s body.

Lyu Bu quietly observed his hand, unaware of when his attacks began to disregard distance to some extent, and his Sky Piercer became faster than arrows within a range of dozens of steps.

The calm and indifferent Lyu Bu ignited a wild rage in Zhang Fei’s heart. Just as Chen Xi had initially estimated, when the power levels of these top generals were boosted tenfold by their Inner Qi, the gap between them would become glaringly evident. However, Chen Xi had clearly underestimated; their strength had not increased tenfold, but a hundredfold!

If Lyu Bu’s original strength was seen as 5 points, and the strength of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu as 3 points, with just a two-point gap and both within human limits, together, Guan and Zhang could almost overcome Lyu Bu. But now, it was as if Lyu Bu had a thousand points, while Zhang Fei only about seven hundred...

This vast discrepancy meant that Lyu Bu was essentially invincible. Coupled with the Red Hare Horse and numerous other factors, Lyu Bu’s combat power over generals was basically a steamrolling victory. Of course, certain exceptional martial artists, like Zhao Yun’s speed and Dian Wei’s strength, belonged to a different system.

As for Huang Zhong, he now had about eight or nine hundred points and could duel with Lyu Bu. Even in a brief fight, it was hard to tell the superior, but as the duration dragged on, he would still falter. What’s important is that Lyu Bu kept getting stronger. From the battle at Hulao, to Jingzhou, and then to Wancheng, he had encountered all types of top generals.

With each encounter, Lyu Bu would refine his strength, and now, he had perfected his capabilities in every aspect. Even if Zhao Yun were to face Lyu Bu head-on, fully unleashing his speed, he wouldn’t be able to suppress Lyu Bu in a short time; the best he could hope for would be a tie.

Similarly, if Dian Wei were to confront Lyu Bu now, he wouldn’t be able to send Lyu Bu flying with a punch as in Wancheng; Lyu Bu had integrated the Heavy Sword Art into his muscles. With the radiant red Qi circulating through him, each of Lyu Bu’s strikes might still be slightly weaker than Dian Wei’s in terms of strength, but he wouldn’t fall far behind.

That’s why Zhang Fei, despite possessing arm strength not inferior to Dian Wei’s, couldn’t produce the same effect as before. Lyu Bu no longer had any obvious weaknesses—his speed, strength, and Inner Qi had nearly reached their peaks. This is also why Lyu Bu could vaguely perceive a higher level, while Huang Zhong could not see that higher plane.

Huang Zhong’s physical quality had started to decline. In the years he spent continuously infusing his son with Inner Qi without time to strengthen his own body, it was fated that his physical prowess would never reach its peak again. And lacking physical quality as support, Huang Zhong’s life had peaked; any direction he took would lead to decline.

”Zhang Yide, unleash all your power. The ultimate Inner Qi, the perfect Spirit, and the strength that merges Essence, Qi, and Spirit,” Lyu Bu said calmly. Since he had chosen his wife and child, he extinguished the idea of defeating Zhang Fei within fifty moves. Instead, he offered Zhang Fei guidance; how much Zhang Fei could comprehend was up to him.

Zhang Fei was taken aback, fury rising within him as he glared at Lyu Bu across from him. Being advised by an enemy he looked down upon was intolerable for Zhang Fei.

”As you wish!” His body suddenly erupted with countless black streams of Inner Qi. Then his Serpent Spear trembled violently, bursting into flames. Zhang Fei’s Inner Qi furiously poured into the Spear, and as the black flames were fed by the Inner Qi, they exploded into fierce combustion before blazing towards Zhang Fei’s own body. At that moment, Zhang Fei seemed possessed by a Ghostly Deity.

”Roar!” As the black flames enveloped Zhang Fei completely, the shadow of a pure white tiger emerged behind him, and with a heaven-shaking roar, the phantom of the white tiger fully merged into Zhang Fei’s body.

”Thud!” Zhang Fei charged like a tiger descending from the mountain, his Spear thrusting wildly at Lyu Bu. With a muffled sound, Zhang Fei, along with his horse, staggered back three steps, while Lyu Bu was pushed back two. A hint of joy appeared on Zhang Fei’s face, fear no longer present.

”Ascend to the heavens, ride the wind like a tiger. Show me the weight of this white tiger!” Lyu Bu said icily. Zhang Fei’s current momentum had indeed surpassed Lyu Bu’s, but Lyu Bu paid it no heed; he was beyond the age of competing in mere presence.

Lyu Bu patted the Red Hare Horse. There were few horses that could fly these days, and he didn’t want to take advantage of Zhang Fei. He could sense the air flowing around Zhang Fei at this moment; for Zhang Fei now, flying was simply instinctive.
