Chapter 29: Zhang Liao Battles Lü Bu (Part 2) (Seeking Recommendations!)

  Liu Bian heard this faint sound and was shocked and changed color.

  He saw clearly that this string of light sounds was because Lü Bu held the halberd with one hand and suddenly stabbed forward, and the sound was emitted when the halberd head pierced the air.

  Sonic boom!!!

  Liu Bian had heard of sonic booms, but he never believed in them. He always thought they were just myths made up by people, and that the human body could never reach such a terrifying speed as to break the sound barrier, which was simply beyond the realm of mortal men.

  He hadn't seen it before, and the experienced instructor had never seen it either. The internal martial arts expert who could defeat the instructor in three moves or less was even more disdainful of it.

  But he witnessed it with his own eyes today. He was lucky enough to have superhuman vision and hearing, so he was able to see this scene clearly.

  He saw Lü Bu easily break through the sonic boom, and his halberd thrust towards Zhang Xiu at an unbelievable speed. In what seemed like an instant, the halberd suddenly extended by two feet.

  Don't underestimate the two feet. Zhang Liao, such a master, grasped the timing of the attack extremely accurately, and it was impossible to appear too early or too late. The distance of two feet, for them, is the distance between life and death. When Zhang Liao had not yet attacked, Lü Bu launched an attack at an astonishing speed, producing a time difference sufficient to kill Zhang Liao.

  Liu Bian now knows why Lü Bu is so arrogant, and he also knows why Wang Yue said that Lü Bu is a demigod.

  This is indeed something that no human can accomplish, only a god can do it. Wang Yue said he was half-god, which was already quite conservative.

  No wonder Lü Bu was invincible in the Three Kingdoms, no matter how poor his character was, he deserved to be called "Lü Bu among people", he lived up to this title.

  In an instant, Liu Bian thought of many things in his mind, but after all, he began to worry about Zhang Man.

  Under intense tension, everything in front of him seemed to have become slow motion, and he could see details that ordinary people couldn't.

  He saw Lü Bu's halberd break the sound barrier, stabbing towards Zhang Xiu's shoulder. The distance between Zhang Xiu's hand holding the Hegemon Spear and the halberd was still a palm apart, but the halberd seemed to have pierced an empty gate, without any hindrance.

  He saw the astonishment and terror on Zhang Xiu's face.

  He saw Lü Bu's raised corner of his mouth, as if he heard his disdainful laughter.

  The halberd pierced five inches in front of Zhang Liao's shoulder, the Overlord Spear was one inch away from the halberd, and three feet away from Lü Bu's chest.

  The outcome is already decided.

  A despairing sigh rose from Liu Bei's heart. He was indignant and couldn't help it. It was all his own doing, letting Zhang Fei and Lü Bu duel, which resulted in Zhang Fei losing his life for nothing, dying a few years earlier than he should have. If not for him, Zhang Fei would still have had several more years before reaching the end of his life.

  Just as Liu Bian was filled with regret, something unexpected happened.

  The original spear that was only an inch away from Zhang Fei's spear suddenly encountered resistance, changed direction, and slid over Zhang Fei's shoulder, scraping against his armor and producing a spark.

  Mars flashed in the air and went out, but it lit up Liu Bian's eyes and also lit up Zhang Xiu's face.

  Two horses crossed paths, Lü Bu's spear pierced through the air at supersonic speed, striking nothing.

  Zhang Hua let out a loud shout, and the Halberd of the Tyrant King flashed with a sound like thunder, stabbing towards Lü Bu's chest.

  Lü Bu's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, his arm instinctively moved outward to block the Halberd of the Tyrant. The halberd's blade grazed Lü Bu's neck as it stabbed past him.

  The two horses parted as soon as they touched, the scraping sound of their spears lingering behind them, drowned out by the urgent hoofbeats.

  "Good!" Liu Bian was overjoyed, patted the city wall, and shouted loudly. "Zhang Xiu, well done!"

  After the ordeal, Zhang Hua, who was still in a state of shock, heard this and almost burst into tears. He handed his gun to his right hand, covered his chest with his left hand, and bowed to Liu Bian on horseback: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

  Liu Bian raised his hand and laughed loudly: "General, you are mighty!"

  The guards around him responded with a loud shout: "General Zhang is mighty! General Zhang is mighty!"

  Lü Bu's face turned gloomy, his spear that was sure to hit its mark had unexpectedly struck empty air, and he had almost been killed by Zhang Xiu due to his momentary carelessness. Now the Emperor was supporting Zhang Xiu, while his own side was eerily silent, with a vastly different atmosphere between the two sides. If this got out, people would think that he had been defeated by Zhang Xiu.

  Lü Bu's anger rose from the crown of his head, and evil was born at the edge of his gallbladder. He decided to use Zhang Xiu's life to wash away his shame. Originally, he did not intend to take Zhang Xiu's life, but now the situation is different. If he does not kill Zhang Xiu, others will not think that he is showing mercy, but rather that he is powerless and unable to defeat Zhang Xiu.

  Lü Bu turned his horse's head around, holding a halberd in both hands, and galloped wildly.

  Zhang Hua was excited, but he didn't lose his composure. He clearly knew that he had just been lucky, and he also knew Lü Bu's temper - if he relaxed even slightly, the glory of a moment ago would become the last highlight of his life.

  And he does not want to die yet, he still wants to serve His Majesty who appreciates him, he still wants to defeat Lü Bu for His Majesty and capture Lü Bu.

  A surge of energy rose from the bottom of his heart, and in an instant it spread throughout his body. Zhang Xiang's whole body trembled, and his tongue involuntarily burst forth with a thunderous shout: "Kill!"

  Almost at the same time, Lü Bu also let out a loud shout: "Kill!"

  The war horse's four hooves left the ground, galloping wildly as it arrived, the two horses crossing paths once again.

  Zhang Liao refused to give Lü Bu another chance to launch a surprise attack and struck out with his halberd first.

  Lü Bu's arms flexed with force, and once again a spear burst forth at supersonic speed. A series of explosive sounds erupted as the cross-shaped spear shot out in rapid succession.

  Clashing and colliding, producing a piercingly sour screech that makes one's teeth ache.

  To repay the Heavenly Son's appreciation, Zhang Hua did not hold back his strength and poured all his energy into the Hegemon-King Spear. The true energy surrounding the Hegemon-King Spear was even more intense, almost bursting out, and even facing Lü Bu's sonic boom-like spear, the Hegemon-King Spear remained fearless.

  The air seems to be filled with the sound of dragons and tigers roaring.

  The cross spear was pushed off course, passing under Zhang Fei's ribs and stabbing empty air once again.

  The Overlord Spear slid across Lü Bu's shoulder, the killing intent emanating from the spearhead causing the hairs on his face to stand on end. Lü Bu involuntarily let out a loud shout, his face immediately turning bright red, as if he had just been pierced by the Overlord Spear.

  Lü Bu was really angry. Two rounds, not only did he fail to knock Zhang Liao off his horse, but he didn't even touch a single hair of his, and instead nearly got hit by Zhang Liao twice, this time almost getting his face slashed open.

  No, he had already been slapped hard on the ear by Zhang Hua, and it was very loud. Not only did he hear it, but also the Son of Heaven on the city wall heard it, and Yuan Su in the distance heard it, and everyone under heaven heard it.

  If Zhang Heng is not killed, how can our shame be washed away?

  Lü Bu let out a loud yell and turned his horse's head, charging towards Zhang Xiu.

  "Zhang Xiu, surrender!"

  Two rounds, as if he had stepped into the gates of life and death twice, but Zhang Liao was now fearless, his fighting spirit overflowing. He also turned his horse's head and shouted loudly: "Lü Bu, come again!"

  Two war horses came galloping with a sound like thunder, trampling down the long street.

  A strong gust of wind hits you in the face, leaving you breathless.

  Everyone held their breath and gazed at Zhang Fei and Lü Bu who were rapidly approaching.
