Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1153: Chapter 1109: A Strike Against the Army

It’s a pity that this level of siege, if faced by a Lyu Bu who hasn’t merged with the Millennia-Old Belief, would definitely result in serious injury if he doesn’t dodge. However, for the current Lyu Bu, just swinging the Sky Piercer easily repels everyone’s attack.

”It seems that’s all you amount to.” At this moment, Lyu Bu didn’t care about the cliché of villains dying from excessive talking; he desperately needed two or three experts of the same caliber as Zhang Xiu before.

”Then you shall all die!” Lyu Bu suddenly changed his tone, drawing the Heaven and Earth Essence with his Sky Piercer and slashing towards Xiahou Yuan and the others.

In that instant when the massive slash sliced down, Xiahou Yuan unleashed his Spiritual Talent without any reservation, and in the next moment, everyone present felt a sudden increase in speed, allowing them to escape Lyu Bu’s attack range instantly.

Xu Huang leaped up high, gripping his Great Axe with both hands, slashing towards Lyu Bu, who was barely restrained by Xiahou Dun.

When Xu Huang’s Great Axe was almost upon Lyu Bu, Lyu Bu, who seemingly had no way to block with his halberd, suddenly descended from the sky, evading Xu Huang’s slash.

In an instant, Zhang Xiu and Pang De leaped simultaneously, unleashing their full strength towards the descending Lyu Bu. This time, Pang De also used his most adept Great Sword rather than the battlefield Long Spear.

The moment Pang De soared, he felt a gust of force hitting him, causing his armor to explode, with blood spurting from various parts of his body.

Zhang Xiu, facing Lyu Bu’s Qi Force with extraordinary Inner Qi, thrust directly, but upon noticing Pang De’s injuries, his expression darkened.

Just the residual Qi Force caused such destructive power, while Pang De, with gushing inky Inner Qi and blood-red eyes, slashed fiercely towards Lyu Bu. His Legion Talent was certainly effective for himself.

At this moment, Pang De was like a wounded tiger, unleashing power surpassing before, fiercely slashing towards Lyu Bu’s lower body!

Lyu Bu reversed his Sky Piercer to sweep away Zhang Xiu’s lethal thrust, then twisted to block Pang De’s full-force attack with the halberd shaft, just as Xu Huang descended from the sky with his Great Axe.

”Screech!” A light sound echoed.

Lyu Bu, caught off guard, had his chest armor slashed by Xu Huang’s axe, and before he could retaliate, a swath of fiery arrow rain engulfed Lyu Bu, while Xiahou Dun charged with his Long Spear, thrusting a peak strike towards the figure within the flames.

There was none of Zhao Yun’s flamboyance, none of Zhang Fei’s brute force, and none of Ma Chao’s arrogance, only the steadfast resilience honed through countless trials, as Xiahou Dun’s spear thrust didn’t carry super-speed booms, yet it genuinely injured Lyu Bu.

Even though they had never cooperated before, possessing the insight and reaction force of top generals, their first collaboration was remarkably perfect, but perfect doesn’t mean invincible!

”Retreat quickly!” Zhang Xiu, using double-layer secret techniques, had crossed that barrier, and as the others were about to inquire, he already knew the result, immediately leaping back.

Seeing Zhang Xiu retreating, Pang De and the others reflexively leaped out, only to see a dark shadow shooting out from the flames towards Xiahou Dun.

”Get out of my way!” Xiahou Dun roared, gripping his Long Spear tightly during his backward flight, its restless thrust directly targeting Lyu Bu’s face!

With absolute might, Lyu Bu blocked head-on with his Sky Piercer, a strange vibration directly transmitted over, but Lyu Bu crushed it with sheer strength.

”Splat!” The Sky Piercer nearly grazed Xiahou Dun’s face, and although he dodged the halberd blade, the accompanying gale still carved a terrifying scar across Xiahou Dun’s face.

”Big brother!” Xiahou Yuan, during his backward flight, reflexively raised his hand upon witnessing this scene, sending countless flaming arrows towards Lyu Bu.

”Boom!” Lyu Bu didn’t dodge at all, swinging the Sky Piercer to easily sweep away Xiahou Yuan’s attack in a large golden arc.

Lyu Bu immediately gripped his Sky Piercer with both hands, preparing to execute a slash at Xiahou Dun, and it was at this moment that a massive sword blade attacked from hundreds of steps away!

”Lyu Bu, meet your end!” Yano Xing had been waiting for an opportunity, and after locking onto Lyu Bu, he immediately drew on the army’s Cloud Qi, delivering the most peak strike!

Originally about to execute a killing blow on Xiahou Dun, Lyu Bu turned around, kicking Xiahou Dun flying directly into the walls of Jiuyuan City, causing a crack where he hit the newly built wall, which lacked Cloud Qi and Military Spirit protection.

Subsequently, Xiahou Dun plunged into the moat, virtually losing his combat power.

Lyu Bu, with both hands gripping the Sky Piercer, forcibly withstood an Inner Qi Manifestation strike bolstered by the army. It’s known that only with army support can Inner Qi Manifestation unleash its full potential without limits.

Seeing Lyu Bu withstand such an inhuman attack out of thin air, Zhang Xiu immediately set aside all dignity and launched an attack on Lyu Bu.

Simultaneously, Pang De and the others attacked with all their might, seizing the moment when Lyu Bu was restrained by the legion’s grand move, launching their attacks without hesitation.

”You all deserve to die!” Distracted, Lyu Bu was hit directly by the full-force strike of Zhang Xiu and the others, his armor immediately shattered into pieces, and his body was cut with multiple wounds.

This was with the boost of the Millennia-Old Belief; if it were anyone else, ignoring the resilience to such legion-type attacks, just being hit by Zhang Xiu and the others’ ultimate moves would be fatal. Yet Lyu Bu only sustained slight injuries.

However, the originally stalemated Lyu Bu, upon receiving such an intense attack, lost his Qi Power, getting directly struck by Yano Xing’s legion attack, with the extended aftermath slashing towards Jiuyuan, only to be caught by Gao Shun, who was infused with all Military Spirit.

”Boom!” Zhang Xiu and the others all flew far away.

It must be known that a legion attack, even Guan Yu’s supposedly invincible peak slash, barely reaches legion attack standards. Without Cloud Qi or Military Spirit to counter, such moves could cleave mountains and seas with ease.

Recalling the days when Hann Xin had just created the legion attack, without even perfecting it, he relied solely on this move to withstand King Xiang’s mountain-throwing strike.

To genuinely exhibit its might, Inner Qi Manifestation driven by the army’s power is needed. Guan Yu’s mountain-cleaving strike, he himself can only execute it once, but with the support of Cloud Qi from the army, the frequency can be considerably increased!

This is also why, despite Dian Wei being immensely powerful, the suppression of Cloud Qi is not too significant for him; he seldom truly engages in battlefield warfare. The reason is simple; once in direct warfare with the army, any Inner Qi Manifestation capable of drawing Cloud Qi can eliminate Dian Wei.

Thus, Dian Wei is more suited as an escort or for dueling, but on the battlefield, he’d undoubtedly become a target of concentrated fire.

As for withstanding a legion attack head-on by oneself, seemingly only King Xiang has done it; after all, such attacks are designed to break armies, not to counter a single individual.
