Chapter 865

Lü Bu wore silk robes, eschewing armor, and rode a fine steed, leading his family to the military camp.

"General, why have you brought your family here today? Could it be that some major event has occurred?"

Seeing Lü Bu arrive, Gao Shun asked in surprise.

"Indeed. Dong Zhuo is marching on the capital to 'protect the Emperor,' but he surely harbors rebellious intent. I intend to enter the capital; are you willing to follow me?" Lü Bu said with an air of dominance.

Gao Shun hurriedly bowed: "This subordinate is willing to go."

Having said this, he added with concern: "General, we have no imperial decree, and our troops are few. To enter the capital without a mandate—I fear it will be a one-way trip."

Although the Han Dynasty had little authority left, the great clans of the world would not simply stand by and let a border general like Lü Bu seize the spoils of the capital.

For Lü Bu to enter the capital at such a time would surely make him a target for everyone.

"Since I have decided to go, I have naturally made preparations. Assemble the troops immediately; in one quarter of an hour, I shall inspect the troops at the drill ground."

"Yes."

Harboring doubts, Gao Shun began to reorganize the army.

A quarter of an hour later, the soldiers gathered at the drill ground.

Lü Bu stood upon the high platform, and suddenly, he soared into the air, standing a hundred meters up in the void.

This display left Gao Shun stunned.

Along with Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and the other soldiers were equally dumbfounded.

They knew Lü Bu's martial prowess was immense, but they never imagined he was no longer human.

No matter how powerful a martial general was, it only meant greater strength and faster speed.

Flight?

Can a human fly?

At the very least, in this world, on the surface, there was not a single person who could fly.

"The General... actually flew up?!"

Gao Shun muttered to himself.

Lü Bu looked down at the crowd below, very satisfied with their expressions, and said in a deep voice: "Some days ago, I encountered a Daoist Lord from the upper realm and received his guidance, gaining the fortune to become an immortal and a god. However,"

"I am unwilling to abandon my soldiers and leave; I only wish to bring you all to share in wealth and glory in the human world."

"We thank the General!"

The soldiers' eyes were filled with wild joy, and they immediately began to kowtow.

"Now is a good opportunity. Dong Zhuo is marching on the capital to 'protect the Emperor,' but he surely harbors disloyal intent. If we enter the capital to purge the world, wealth and glory are right before our eyes."

"We are willing to follow the General!"

"Now, follow me in chanting the Taixuan Divine Mantra. With this divine mantra, you too can become beings capable of fighting a hundred."

Lü Bu stood in the void, teaching them line by line, until everyone could recite the Taixuan Divine Mantra and chant it on their own.

In half a day's time, every one of Lü Bu's three thousand soldiers possessed the strength of several thousand catties; each was a valiant warrior.

Although the number of troops was small, it was enough to rival an army of a million.

During this period, Lü Bu's influence had not yet fully matured; he lacked money and grain, so he only kept three thousand soldiers and several hundred horses.

This had originally been a source of worry for him.

But with the Taixuan Divine Mantra, all of this was no longer a problem. As his soldiers grew stronger, the few thousand men in his hands could sweep across the world.
