The four half-step Thousand Year King realm experts watched the battle without making a move. Lu Bu and the others were like a sharp sword, tearing through the crowd’s entrapment.
“Bring my bow and arrows!”
Jiang Tang looked at the large numbers of casualties below with furrowed brows. There were so many experts here, but not a single one of them was a match for Lu Bu’s group.
“Yes!”
A cultivator hurriedly carried over a large white bow, along with bone arrows which were part of the same set.
“Creak!”
Jiang Tang held the bow, and notched an arrow onto it. The muscles on his arms bulged menacingly, and green veins lined his shoulders. The bow issued a teeth-numbing creaking sound.
“Die!”
After locking onto his target, Jiang Tang did not hesitate, and released the arrow!
“Dang!”
The bow rang loudly as the arrow left it, and the shaft vibrated heavily in his hands.
A pale white arrow flew out, instantly vanishing and reappearing among Lu Bu and the rest!
“Bang!”
A cultivator raised the scarlet large blade in his hand, and was just about to kill one of his pursuers when the arrow arrived without warning. His energy had been focused on the attack, and new energy had not been mustered yet. The arrow shot over, instantly breaking the defensive barrier around his body and piercing through his eye!
“Hurry! Follow me and kill a path out!”
Seeing this, Lu Bu’s heart jumped with shock, and he looked up at the four figures atop the mountain waist. None of these four were a match for him individually, but if they joined hands, he would be dead without a doubt!
“Brother Jiang, good shooting skills!” A person laughed lightly, and took out a long lance. Then, taking a large step out, he threw the lance forward!
One of the cultivator behind Lu Bu turned his head and raised his weapon, hacking at this lance!
“Dang!”
The two weapons clashed together, creating huge sparks. The cultivator was forced back over ten steps.
“I blocked it!”
The skin on his palms had torn open, and blood flowed freely from it. His arms shook lightly, but regardless of that, he’d still managed to block this strike!
“Pu-chi!”
A blade flashed across the sky, and before he could celebrate, a long sword had slashed off his head.
The impact of this lance throw had weakened him so much that one of the chasing cultivators managed to lob off his head with ease!
Lu Bu could only sigh helplessly. He had no choice but to continue killing his way out with only five people remaining. His entire body radiated a silver light as though he was a god who descended from the heavens!
The four half-step Thousand Year King realm experts continuously launched their attacks, and in less than 10 minutes, only Lu Bu remained standing.
Jiang Tang shook his head, and said with some pity, “That person’s endurance level is far above our imagination. But it’s a pity, he cannot be used by us.”
The other three also nodded. Since they’d already offended the other party, there was only the option of removing the weed by its roots. This was especially so for a person whose combat power was even greater than theirs on an individual level.
Only an idiot would consider the option of roping Lu Bu in to their side. It would be a great tragedy if they were stabbed in the back and killed by the latter once they brought him back.
Below, Lu Bu was surrounded by over 200 Hundred Year realm fourth level cultivators. The encirclement was airtight, and not even an ant could crawl out successfully.
The four half-step Thousand Year King realm experts did not enter the fight personally. They had all witnessed Lu Bu’s terrifying abilities with their own eyes. If they fought him personally, a few of them might end up being dragged into the grave with him.
Behind him, there were over 100 corpses lying on the ground. Over half of them had been killed by Lu Bu alone!
Those cultivators who could obtain the weapons in such a short amount of time were naturally powerful in their own regard. The other half had all been killed by the other six cultivators.
Lu Bu panted heavily and looked up. His energy reserve was nearly on the verge of being exhausted completely. Even though the energy in his body was extremely pure, it wouldn’t be able to keep up with such a long battle.
If not for the fact that the Heavenly Halberd would suck a portion of energy from every person it slayed and pour it into his body, Lu Bu would have fallen long ago.
Even so, he’d already reached his limit. Right now, Lu Bu was like an arrow at the end of its flight.
As he surveyed the surroundings, Lu Bu’s face did not show even the slightest ripple. The Heavenly Halberd in his hand did not tremble at all.
The huge crowd that surrounded him was instead more fearful of him. This person was simply too powerful; it was like he was in a completely different realm!
Jiang Tang and the rest flew down, and spoke coldly, “We acknowledge your strength, and respect that you’re a real man. As long as you hand over your weapon, we can let you leave!”
Lu Bu did not react, but the people surrounding him all breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure of facing Lu Bu was simply too great!
Lu Bu’s brows flickered, and he snorted coldly. “If you want the weapon, come and take it yourself!”
Jiang Tang and the rest exchanged a look, not certain if Lu Bu still had enough strength for a final bout.
A normal cultivator should have already exhausted all their strength long ago. But after killing so many, this person before them only appeared to be breathing somewhat heavier than before!
Both sides remained at a stalemate for a moment. Lu Bu also took advantage of every second to recover his blood Qi.
“Kill!”
Jiang Tang and the rest eventually felt that they could not wait anymore, and gave the order.
The foremost people around Lu Bu all looked at each other, but no one made the first move.
The reason everyone came out here was simply for the sake of money and fortune. But now, not only had they not seen a single silver coin, they actually needed to risk their lives to deal with such a dangerous and savage character.
Jiang Tang and the rest recognized that this situation was becoming unfavorable for them, and in an instant, the four came to an agreement. “Whoever loses their lives unfortunately because of this, their families shall be compensated with 100 million HCD! Anyone who manages to kill this man will receive a reward of 500 million! On top of that, the person can freely choose among our four teams, and take up the position of vice-captain!
“Huff, huff!”
As expected, the crowd grew agitated the moment they heard those words. That was 500 million dollars, and a position of a vice-captain!!!
The courageous suddenly became as common as clouds at the mention of heavy rewards. Everyone held the same thoughts in their hearts. With so many people here, each one believed that they wouldn’t be the unlucky one who would be killed.
In contrast, as long as they managed to kill Lu Bu, even by a lucky stroke, the result would be completely amazing!
“Kill!” a cultivator suddenly shouted as he licked his lips and gripped the long sword in his hand tightly before rushing at Lu Bu!
“Dang!”
“Pu-chi!”
The sword-wielding expert rushed out very quickly, and died extremely quickly as well. Lu Bu simply sliced down with his Heavenly Halberd, and directly cleaved the man and his sword into half!
“KILL!”
That person’s death was like a spark that ignited the crowd. The rest froze for a moment, and charged forward again like a tide!
A few more rounds passed, and Lu Bu once again killed a few more experts. However, his chest was heaving unsteadily.
“He can’t endure anymore! Kill him!”
Seeing Lu Bu’s state, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was obvious that Lu Bu had only been forcefully hanging on earlier.
As he looked at the cultivator charging towards him, Lu Bu could already tell that this person was already thinking about the matters after he killed him.
“Die!”
Lu Bu’s face suddenly lit up with a wicked sneer. The Heavenly Halberd swept upwards, and the crescent arc blade instantly sliced off that cultivator’s head!
A faint trail of blood flowed down from his mouth as he leaned on the Heavenly Halberd. Smiling savagely, he growled. “You’re the one who can’t endure anymore, your entire family can’t endure anymore!”
The group of cultivators around him stopped, and looked at each other, no one willing to make a wrong move. After over ten seconds of silence, a cultivator gritted his teeth, and raised a heavy mace, smashing towards Lu Bu!
“Bang!”
He was quick, but Lu Bu was even faster! A round head flew high into the sky before the mace landed!
The surrounding cultivators were all cursing darkly in their hearts as their faces turned exceptionally ugly. Damn it, this guy looked like he would collapse and die anytime, but he just wouldn’t drop!
Jiang Tang smiled, and looked at the stalwart man beside him. “Brother Tao, the way I see it, this person is already a lamp burning on empty fumes.”
“Keke, that’s indeed the case.” The stalwart man narrowed his eyes, and asked with an honest smile, “Why won’t brother Tang go slay him personally?”
‘Two old foxes!’ the other two cursed secretly at the side. To reach their current strength, which one of them was a weakling? Those who lacked the wit and strength were all lying in deep graves, atop which the grass had already grown several zhang tall!
Jiang Tang shook his head, and said, “Brother Tao surely jests. Since we’ve already promised the boys below, it’s naturally not appropriate for us to act.”
At the same time, within the large group below, a person took out a bow from his spatial ring with an excited expression.
‘What a bunch of fools. I just need to hide within the crowd and shoot. Even if this person has the strength for another strike, would he dare to charge through the crowd to kill me?’
Yin Ping instantly felt elated as if his intelligence was far above the common masses. Calming his breath, he pulled the bowstring, and released it!
“Weng!”
The bow trembled, and an arrow filled with a savage aura instantly arrived before Lu Bu!
Lu Bu raised his hand, but the Heavenly Halberd suddenly felt incomparably heavy in his hands.
‘Is this how it ends?’
In the instant that he lifted his hands, he knew that he wouldn’t make it. With the speed that he was swinging the Heavenly Halberd, it wouldn’t be able to block this arrow.
Similarly, the moment he released the arrow, Yin Ping already knew that he’d succeeded!
Yin Ping was so agitated that his body shook, and his face turned red.
“Bang!”
A blood-red object suddenly dropped from the sky, smashing before him!
A cloud of dust rose up, and Lu Bu slammed his Heavenly Halberd into the ground, narrowly avoiding being blown away the force. He narrowed his eyes, and looked up.
“Zeng!”
The sudden anomaly caused everyone to look up with shock. Before the dust dissipated, a bright sword keen rang out, and a blood-red sword Qi shot out of the dust cloud!
“Pu-chi!”
The sword ray flashed horizontally, sweeping over a number of people, including Yin Ping. The over ten people whom the sword ray passed over suddenly froze, and their bodies split into two.
Yin Ping still carried a smile on his face, but his eyes were frigid with fear as if he still hadn’t figured out the reason for his death.
“Keke, bullying the few with many?”
Bei Feng strolled leisurely down from the sky, and surveyed the surroundings calmly.
Lu Bu froze for a moment, but his face turned ugly in an instant as he blocked the way before Bei Feng to cover him. “Family Head! Hurry up and leave!”
“Alright, you’ve done very well. Go and rest; my men are not something that any random dogs and cats can bully.”
Bei Feng waved his sleeves lightly, causing Lu Bu to stumble backwards for a few steps before falling onto his butt.
Looking at the large number of corpses on the ground, Bei Feng stroked his chin, and smiled. ‘When did Lu Bu become this powerful? Looks like he’d also come across his own fortuitous encounter.’
Bei Feng did not mind this matter. Everyone had their own fortune. No matter what, he was confident that the fortune that he’d obtained was still the best.
If Lu Bu was loyal, he would use him greatly. But if he wasn’t loyal, he had the ability to remove him at any time!
After experiencing so many things, Bei Feng no longer had any qualms about thinking the worst of the people around him first. A person’s heart was prone to change; one could appear to be exceptionally loyal, but their hearts could turn ambitious in a single moment.
