Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1122: Chapter 1078: The Complexities of Northern Bingzhou

Lyu Bu talked to Gao Shun about this matter, and Gao Shun was slightly dissatisfied, but he also understood Lyu Bu’s personality. Lyu Bu was always tolerant of family members, and after the death of the Yan Clan, he only had Diao Chan left, which made him extremely doting.

The same was true for Lyu Qiling. Fortunately, these two were inherently kind-hearted; otherwise, with Lyu Bu’s doting nature, they could have easily been spoiled.

”Alright, I’ll protect Lady well with the Vanguard Cavalry.” Gao Shun nodded and said, even though Diao Chan had no mediocre Inner Qi, to be honest, it was really just ornamental.

”I’m counting on you!” Lyu Bu said, patting Gao Shun’s shoulder. ”Gongzheng, do you have any wishes?”

”Wishes?” Gao Shun frowned. ”None.”

”Then never mind,” Lyu Bu said, twirling the Sky Piercer in his other hand, leaving behind Gao Shun’s puzzled gaze as he departed.

Time flew by, and the next day, the Xianbei Tribe’s chief, Bupenyi, led a thirty-thousand-strong army to the border drawn by Lyu Bu.

In fact, if Lyu Bu had not been so defiant and had even threatened Bupenyi, as a chief of the foreign tribes, he would have considered recruiting Lyu Bu, because Lyu Bu was too powerful, powerful enough to command awe even from him.

Although personal bravery was quite insignificant compared to groups in wartime, powerful individual ability was still admired by all. Therefore, before defeating Lyu Bu, Bupenyi wouldn’t step over the line Lyu Bu had drawn.

The next day, Lyu Bu led three thousand Elite Cavalry and eight hundred Vanguard Cavalry, appearing at the agreed battle point.

Seeing the sparse troops on the other side, Bupenyi breathed a sigh of relief. If Lyu Bu had really brought ten thousand men, he would have been somewhat worried, but a mere three thousand cavalrymen would not instill fear in Bupenyi, who led thirty thousand men.

”Oh, that is...” Bupenyi saw Lyu Bu, donned in Golden Armor and wielding the Sky Piercer, and he also saw Diao Chan behind Lyu Bu. Compared to the mighty Lyu Bu, the tender and exquisite Diao Chan was even more irresistible to men.

”Lyu Bu, you’ve finally come!” Bupenyi laughed heartily, galloping forward, ”In today’s battle, if you die, your wives and daughters can rest assured, I, Bupenyi, will surely take care of them!”

Lyu Bu couldn’t be bothered with Bupenyi. Watching the eagles continually flying in the sky, he smirked coldly. He knew those eagles were the eyes and ears of the steppe people, but he didn’t mind. He wanted all the steppe people to know about today’s events.

”Are you done talking nonsense?” Lyu Bu’s voice, filled with a murderous intent hidden beneath a calm surface, spread to the ears of everyone present, ”Today, any Hu People will be killed without mercy!”

A chilling murderous intent burst out from Lyu Bu, and in an instant, the originally warm climate, altered by Hu Zhao’s manipulation of the Celestial Phenomenon, turned once more into the bitter chill of midwinter!

When Lyu Bu raised his Sky Piercer, Gao Shun injected the Military Spirit of the Trap Formation and the Will of the Great Wall Watch entirely into Lyu Bu.

[Now it’s up to you, Fengxian!] After pouring most of his power into Lyu Bu, Gao Shun thought silently.

After Lyu Bu uttered those words, Bupenyi still wanted to berate him for not recognizing heaven’s will, but he was directly forced back by the icy killing aura. As the Golden Light exploded from Lyu Bu, Bupenyi sensed something amiss.

”All forces charge!” Bupenyi shouted, and in the next moment, the warriors of the entire Xianbei Tribe cried out as they charged towards Lyu Bu’s army.

Lyu Bu slowly absorbed the ancient will that had been passed down over a thousand years. Scene after scene of battles against Northern Barbarians over the millennia appeared before him like paintings.

”Your will shall be fulfilled by me!” Lyu Bu’s eyes gradually turned from black to gold, and his momentum continued to rise.

”Ha!” Lyu Bu roared towards the sky, his hair fluttering spontaneously with his explosive aura. The golden Inner Qi mixed with vivid red energy, constantly changing, as a streak of golden-red light pierced the heavens from Lyu Bu’s standing place, causing the ground to crack under his aura.

The eagles observing in the sky frantically scattered as if they met a natural enemy once the light beam pierced the heavens, and the Cloud Qi of the Xianbei army even started to shatter when confronting Lyu Bu’s aura!

”That is...” Zhang He watched from afar as the golden-red beam soared, his body’s blood and Inner Qi boiling continuously.

”Lyu Bu, that’s Lyu Bu!” Gao Lan exclaimed in shock, recalling his current situation, causing a slight melancholy.

”Yuanbo, you lead the troops forward; I need to help,” Zhang He said resolutely as he firmly grasped the reins. ”If Lyu Bu can make such a move, the front lines might be in peril. Regardless of our past relations with Lyu Bu, we Central Plains People cannot let the Hu People gain the upper hand!”

”Go ahead, I’ll lead the main force there!” Gao Lan nodded in agreement, ”I will rush there as soon as possible.”

Zhang He nodded, then spurred his horse, transforming into a streak of green-black light, chasing north.

”What is that!” Cao Ren exclaimed, staring in astonishment at the golden-red beam in the east. Although it was far away, he could feel its unmatched power.

”That’s Lyu Bu!” Xiahou Dun squinted with his one eye, looking towards Lyu Bu’s direction. ”There’s only him in the world who can display such power. It feels immeasurably terrifying whenever I see it.”

”Indeed,” Xiahou Yuan nodded in agreement.

”What is that?” Kebinen stared in shock at the beam estimated to be hundreds of miles away; the power within was unsettling.

”Hahaha, my Xianbei will gain another great treasure,” said the Xianbei Chanyu Helian, laughing as he observed the beam from dozens of miles away. ”Accelerate the Central Army, bring that thing to me!”

”Great Chanyu, our set target is east of the North. This is just a passage, and it’s already occupied by foreign tribes. If we divert to Jiuyuan now, leaving aside the potential gains, we might conflict with Yufuluo and Bupenyi,” his brother Putou quickly advised, indicating it was utterly unsuitable to proceed now.

”Hmph, why should we Xianbei care about those Hun weaklings? Yufuluo dares defy my orders?” Helian grumbled with displeasure, already dissatisfied with his brother Putou.

”Chanyu, if our army diverts to Jiuyuan, we risk splitting from the Vanguard. Attacking Jiuyuan falls under the jurisdiction of the Duan Division and the Tufa Tribe; such actions might upset the tribes,” Putou gritted his teeth and continued advising.

”Hmph, what dissatisfaction could the Duan Division and Tufa Tribe have? Does the Chanyu feel dissatisfied leading them in person? Let others attack the western part of Bingzhou; the Duan Division and Tufa Tribe will attack Jiuyuan with me,” Helian said dismissively.
