116. Defeating Lu Bu

"Kill!"

Lu Bu, mounted on his horse, swung his long halberd toward Cao Xin. His speed, technique, and force were perfectly controlled, showing no decline from his prime.

Cao Xin was equally fast.

As Lu Bu slashed down, he swung his heavy iron spear to meet the halberd steadily. *Clang!* The collision of spear and halberd struck a spray of dazzling sparks into the dark night.

"Die!"

Lu Bu sat firm on his horse, pressing down with both hands on the halberd, attempting to crush Cao Xin.

Because of the mist, only a few hundred meters of the void were visible, but within those few hundred meters, the space was packed with dense, floating corpses. Their clothes were tattered, their hair a tangled mess, and there was not a trace of life within them.

Yet, the crossbowmen who had been subjected to the air raid seemed to have been forgotten; no one paid them any mind. Even their initial distancing from the front lines appeared deliberate, as if they had long since been abandoned as pawns.

The second sister, Qin Yun, was indeed picked up by his parents years ago. And her age was exactly sixteen.

However, Ji Que had achieved the realm of an Immortal Dao Venerable despite losing his pupils, which was truly inconceivable.

"Sister, it is settled then. I will go ask our second uncle for help. When the time comes, you just need to lure her to a deserted place." The young man glanced sideways at Bai Hong, a malicious smile tugging at the corners of his mouth before he turned to leave.

Therefore, most of the time, Shen Qiang preferred to rely on his own strength to emerge victorious.

After the food issue was resolved, the road still had to be traveled. By the third day, the rainy season, which had lasted for ten days, finally came to an end, yet the situation facing the fleeing party grew increasingly dire.

Qin Lang could no longer track the speed of these people, but the fluctuations of his Thousand-Seeker Law allowed him to clearly detect the scenes of their attacks against the beasts.

Standing in the void, his long robes billowing as if by an unseen wind, Lin Wanfeng’s eyes were sharp and piercing like those of a hawk. He swept his gaze around, shouting with such force that it made the eardrums of those nearby ache, causing even the ancient zombies to involuntarily retreat.

Jilan's white hair was long and abundant; at this moment, it spread out like rolls of white silk, extending in all directions.

Ji Wuqing and Zuoqiu Liye heard their words, yet neither offered a comment. However, it was clear that Gongshen Ling'er was in a disadvantageous position, a situation that would be difficult to reverse.

"Master, they are releasing magic mist into the secret passage. None of us have the ability to resist it. What should we do?" a trembling, aged voice asked.

Lu Bu looked at the tidy village; familiar faces passed by from time to time. Lu Bu busied himself greeting them. By the time he reached Lu San’s house, almost all the old and young of the village had gathered there.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" A pleasant, drowsy voice drifted from behind her, causing her to instinctively relax.

Guo Hu’s expression shifted slightly. He stood up to open the door, and a short, thin man entered. The man closed the door and, without offering a salute, said, "Fourth Young Master, I have some news regarding the matter you asked me to investigate." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Yin and the other.

The river crossing point chosen by Cao Cao was less than three hundred li from Qiongdu. Two days after the main force began their march, Qiongdu came into view. Cao Cao stationed his troops and waited for reports from his scouts. An hour later, a scout returned: within a radius of twenty li around Qiongdu, there were thirty thousand troops, who appeared to have been recently recruited and were currently undergoing training.

On the vast coastline, there was not a soul in sight, so Sun Yong, unconcerned about Sun Quan's safety, took his orders and left.

"So what if I'm a loser? I'm a loser too, and I'm going after her, so what?" I roared at him frantically, not knowing why my emotions had suddenly spiraled out of control.

Coincidentally, when I arrived in Xinxiang to look for Zhang Wanda, Ye Fang had just learned that we had been beaten severely by Liu Quan, so he remained cautious and called Ma Hou to inform him that I was looking for Zhang Wanda.

A burst of laughter erupted from those around... Accompanied by the surrounding mockery, the scarred man shook his head in amusement, clearly pleased with his own "humor."
