Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1123: Chapter 1079: Ghostly Deity Lyu Bu

At this moment, Lyu Bu seemed to be enveloped by light, the golden-red glow making him appear exceptionally dazzling.

”Charge, take him down!” Bupenyi was incredibly shocked at the moment when the Cloud Qi collided with Lyu Bu’s aura. Such a storm-like presence—he truly was a man with the power of a ghostly deity. However, being the chief of the Xianbei Major Tribe, despite being shaken, he understood what needed to be done now.

”Ants!” Lyu Bu let out a low roar, and the Red Hare beneath him, intuitively, charged towards the Xianbei army.

Before Bupenyi could mock Lyu Bu for not understanding military command by charging alone, he witnessed an astounding scene. As Lyu Bu swung his Sky Piercer backward, countless rays of light suddenly extended, entwined with infinite Internal Qi, causing the Sky Piercer to grow to nearly a hundred meters long.

”Shatter for me!” The Sky Piercer swept across, clearing a hundred-meter radius in an instant, its Light Blade slashing through the Cloud Qi, slicing countless Xianbei warriors in half with Lyu Bu’s fierce attack.

One strike cut through the sky in a hundred meters ahead, and the enlarged Sky Piercer began its frenzied slaughter once more. Simultaneously, numerous Qi Blades, shaped like the Sky Piercer and several dozen meters long, flew in from Lyu Bu’s direction, crashing into the Xianbei military formation with a roar and a boom.

”Die, all of you!” As Lyu Bu swung the Sky Piercer, countless Qi Arrows shot out from his body, wildly clearing the surrounding Xianbei warriors, with each swing of the giant Sky Piercer wreaking hundreds in casualties!

”Break open for me!” By now, Lyu Bu was single-handedly deep in the center of the Xianbei army. The oversized Sky Piercer stirred the cloud-laden sky, an attack suffused with endless Internal Qi that instantly shredded the Cloud Qi apart.

”Kill!” Smashing the Cloud Qi with one strike, Lyu Bu did not dare to delay, wielding his Sky Piercer to continue slaying the surrounding Xianbei. The Sky Piercer formed from Internal Qi shrunk gradually with the wear of Cloud Qi and the slashings of enemies, yet Lyu Bu, undeterred, pressed forward.

”Pshhh!” At the moment the giant Sky Piercer vanished, before the blood-eyed Xianbei could charge up, Lyu Bu tightened his grip on the Sky Piercer with his left hand and shook it violently. In a flash, countless streams of air were slashed out.

In an instant, the hundred meters in front of Lyu Bu was cleared, with severed limbs strewn all around. Lyu Bu seized the moment to charge out.

[The Military Spirit can only ensure the Internal Qi I released earlier is not quickly dissipated. It can withstand the Cloud Qi’s wear and tear in small-scale attacks, but larger scales have difficulties. However, this is sufficient!]

As Lyu Bu charged out, he wheeled his horse around. On the main battlefield lay a mess of severed limbs. Lyu Bu knew that any brush with his attack was fatal—there would be no injured. A single charge had taken out at least a tenth!

”Huff, huff!” Bupenyi was utterly terrified as he looked at the blood-covered Lyu Bu on the opposite side. After being assaulted by Lyu Bu in such a manner, the Xianbei army’s morale had nearly collapsed. A single-handed charge, slaughtering three thousand—this was the power of a ghostly deity!

”I said that any Hu captives seen today will be put to death!” Lyu Bu had already seen the terror in the Xianbei’s eyes. From his understanding of these Qiang, he knew all too well that if he massacred them once more, they would break!

”Kill, kill, kill! He’s only one man! Kill him!” Bupenyi yelled as he charged in Lyu Bu’s direction.

”You simply do not understand,” Lyu Bu, riding the Red Hare, stood aloof, waiting for the charge of over twenty thousand people. He knew the Xianbei were nearly broken; they were blindly following, but this was not enough—any Hu captives seen today must be put to death!

”Die for me!” Lyu Bu roared, unleashing limitless Internal Qi with a strike that hit the ground. With perfect control of power, a sixty-degree fan in front of him scattered into fragmented earth, causing numerous Xianbei cavalry to tumble, with Bupenyi falling off his horse as well.

At this moment, all the Xianbei brave warriors panic-strickenly realized they were not fighting a mere man, but a ghostly deity. That sky-piercing, wheel-like Sky Piercer, with the Cloud Qi smashed and morale shattered, could take the lives of nearly a hundred with each strike.

Blood flowed like a river; Lyu Bu bore down his exhaustion, maintaining his extreme strength, slaughtering the Xianbei. No prisoners this time; he wanted to leave the northern enemies with a deep impression—that they would pay with blood for trespassing the territories Lyu Bu had claimed!

”Retreat, retreat quickly!” The Xianbei army was forcibly shattered by Lyu Bu’s single-handed slaughter.

It could be said merely seven to eight thousand were truly killed. Even with the support of the Military Spirit, after sweeping through the Cloud Qi and eliminating seven to eight thousand, Lyu Bu felt what it meant to be fatigued in body and mind. However, some things had to be done!

When Zhang He arrived, Lyu Bu was launching his second charge. He witnessed firsthand how Lyu Bu, single-handedly, crushed an army. Compared to Guan Yu’s destroying a city, Lyu Bu’s power to single-handedly rout an entire army was even more shocking to Zhang He.

Seeing the blood-drenched land, Zhang He felt a mix of fear and respect. He knew that after this battle, as long as Lyu Bu remained in Bingzhou, the Xianbei would never dare to invade again. In fact, the Hu captives would definitely not invade.

”Clang!” Plunging the Sky Piercer into the ground, Lyu Bu looked coldly at Zhang He. After slaying nearly ten thousand in one battle, the Killing Intent around Lyu Bu had condensed into something tangible. Just by looking at him, Zhang He felt a sense of reverence.

”I have met with the Marquis Wenn. Upon hearing of the Xianbei invasion, I brought my troops from Jizhou to assist.” Zhang He bowed his proud head, greatly awe-inspired by the blood-soaked Lyu Bu. He yearned for such power.

”Hmm, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, heed my order. Lead the entire army out with me to attack the main base of the Western Xianbei!” Lyu Bu glanced at Zhang He and said with a cold sneer.

”Marquis Wenn, may I be allowed to cooperate with you in battle?” Zhang He said respectfully. If before, there had been a touch of disdain for Lyu Bu, now there was only deep reverence.

”You take your army and guard the rear to prevent the Xianbei from escaping,” Lyu Bu coldly said. ”Chengg Lian, escort Lady back.”

”Fengxian...” Diao Chan hesitated twice as she looked at the bloody Lyu Bu. ”I’ll be waiting for you in Jiuyuan, remember to return early...”

”Understood!” Chengg Lian said with a respectful bow. Though he also wished to partake in the external campaign, Jiuyuan likewise needed someone to guard.

”I said, any Hu captives seen today will not be spared!” Lyu Bu roared, then spurred his horse towards the north. Although the previous battle had drained much of his physical strength and Internal Qi, he was Lyu Bu, the strongest martial artist of the current era. He was determined to fully restore Bingzhou’s territory. Lyu Bu’s word was unbreakable!

At this moment, what drove Lyu Bu was not only his own faith but also the creed of the warriors who battled externally over a thousand years. Lyu Bu was not overtaken, but their creeds were incredibly similar, and as they burst forth with immensely powerful forces, they also fortified Lyu Bu’s sworn promise! (To be continued.
