Chapter 287

Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow upon seeing the words "Wuyuan, Bingzhou":

"A person from the border commandery? No wonder he is skilled in archery and horsemanship. The borderlands are bitter and cold, producing fierce warriors."

Liu Bang, however, noticed the age:

"Died at only forty? What a pity, what a pity; I thought he would live much longer."

Liu Che didn't speak; he was pondering something—Lu Bu lived to forty, Dian Wei died in his twenties, and Zhao Yun lived to sixty-five.

They were all fierce warriors, so why was there such a difference in their lifespans?

It shows that those who live long on the battlefield aren't necessarily the best fighters, but they are definitely the best at surviving.

【Mentorship: No clear record of a master in official history.

Folk romance and unofficial history record his master as Li Yan, the world's number one halberd master, who was a fellow disciple of Zhao Yun's master, Tong Yuan.

Lu Bu had peerless talent, natural divine strength, and was unrivaled in archery and horsemanship; he could also be called a natural god of war, self-taught.】

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng looked at this and sighed: "Is there really a fierce warrior with natural divine strength in the world?"

"I fear even my Great Qin's famous generals Bai Qi and Wang Jian would find it hard to contend with him head-on."

Han Gaozu Liu Bang also got into the spirit: "My general Fan Kuai was unrivaled in bravery, but compared to this person, he is simply vulnerable. It's a pity he wasn't used by the Great Han."

Han Wudi Liu Che stroked his dragon robe, his expression complex: "The title of 'Flying General' originally belonged to my Great Han's Li Guang!"

"This person actually deserves to be called a Flying General; his martial arts are truly heaven-defying."

After saying this, he added: "If Li Guang had his ability, why would he worry about not being enfeoffed as a marquis?"

Sui Wendi Yang Jian stroked his beard and said meaningfully: "The borderlands produce fierce tigers, a natural god of war destiny."

"It's a pity, as one can see from the follow-up, that this person had no grand strategy."

Tang Taizong Li Shimin laughed out loud, and the bullet comments drifted down from the sky screen.

【Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Hahaha, all the martial arts in the world are rarely seen, but it's a pity his brain doesn't match his martial prowess. Purely the ceiling of martial power, the floor tile of IQ.】

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang followed up with a line.

【Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: Natural ability, but he refuses to walk the right path. I kill every warrior like this I see; if I keep them, they will definitely rebel!】

Qianlong shook his folding fan and added a scholarly stab.

【Qianlong Emperor: His talent is unrivaled through the ages, but his character is a mess. He has nothing but a peerless appearance and martial arts, with not a shred of a gentleman's character.】

In the crack of space-time, Lu Bu's face changed as he watched these comments.

At first, he could still laugh, thinking these later emperors were praising him.

But as they praised him, the taste became wrong.

"Ceiling" was praising him, but what did "IQ floor tile" mean?

And what did "kill every one I see" mean?

He gripped the painted halberd in his hand, his teeth grinding.

The sky screen continued to flip down, beginning to broadcast Lu Bu's resume of defection.

【People Lu Bu defected to and served in his life:

First lord Ding Yuan, whom he recognized as a foster father and who valued him highly.

Betrayed him for profit, killed Ding Yuan to join Dong Zhuo, and then recognized Dong Zhuo as a foster father.

Conspired with Wang Yun to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and relied on Wang Yun to control the military power in Chang'an.

After being defeated and fleeing, he defected to Yuan Shu but was not accepted.

Defected to Yuan Shao, and after heavily defeating the enemy army, he was suspected and hunted down.

Defected to Zhang Yang of Henei.

Defected to Liu Bei of Xuzhou, then took advantage of the situation to attack and seize Xuzhou, becoming the master instead of the guest.】

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng's face had already turned mostly black upon seeing this.

"Killing his foster father, fickle and treacherous? Such a disloyal and unrighteous person, no matter how strong his combat power is, I would never recruit him; he would definitely disrupt the court!"

Han Gaozu Liu Bang put away his playful smile and said seriously:

"Ding Yuan treated him well, and Dong Zhuo viewed him as his own son, yet he turned around and killed his lord and betrayed his master? Worse than a beast, a white-eyed wolf of chaotic times!"

Han Wudi Liu Che sighed and shook his head:

"The Great Han is based on loyalty; this person is treacherous and faithless, so even if he is invincible in the world, he doesn't deserve to be called a great man."

Sui Wendi Yang Jian's tone was even colder:

"Changing sides like the states of Qin and Chu, seeing profit and forgetting righteousness—no one would dare to use him heavily. The greater the ability, the greater the hidden danger."

Tang Taizong Li Shimin laughed even louder.

【Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Indeed, the famous 'three-surnamed slave,' recognizing whoever is his father and then killing them. A textbook example of disloyalty through the ages, it's hilarious.】

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang directly cursed.

【Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: Shameless to the extreme! Disloyal, unfilial, and unrighteous; what does it matter if this kind of villainous warrior is number one in the world? Everyone despises him!】

The Qianlong Emperor put away his folding fan and said coldly.

【Qianlong Emperor: His lifelong fame is ruined by his character; his martial prowess is deified, but his character is at the bottom, making him a laughingstock for a thousand years.】

In the crack of space-time, Lu Bu's face had already turned the color of a pig's liver.

His chest heaved violently, and the painted halberd hummed in his hand.

The four words "three-surnamed slave" were like knives stabbing into his ears and his heart.

He had heard these four words before.

Before Hulao Pass, that ring-eyed thief had roared them at him.

At the time, he didn't care, thinking it was just the barking of a defeated general.

But now, in front of the heavens and the myriad worlds, the four words "three-surnamed slave" were carved on the sky screen, to be passed down by later generations for ten thousand generations.

He, Lu Bu, the Flying General of Bingzhou, the number one in the world, had become a "three-surnamed slave."

"Zhang Fei!!!"

Lu Bu roared up at the sky, his voice shaking the wilderness.

But it was useless; Zhang Fei couldn't hear him.

Even if he could hear him, he wouldn't pay him any mind.

City of Chengdu.

Zhang Fei grinned when he saw the four words "three-surnamed slave" hung on the sky screen.

"The Heavenly Dao has eyes! Was I right to curse him back then?"

"Three-surnamed slave! Recognizing whoever is his father and then killing them! Does this kind of person deserve to be ranked first?"

Liu Bei scolded in a low voice: "Third Brother, be careful with your words."

Zhang Fei suppressed his laughter and shrank his neck, but the corners of his mouth couldn't be pressed down.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, his phoenix eyes closed slightly, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly—he didn't laugh, but he didn't deny it either.

The sky screen continued.

This time it was battle records—all of Lu Bu's deified battles, listed one by one.

【Lifetime highlight battle records:

At Hulao Pass, he fought the eighteen feudal lords, quickly killing Fang Yue and Mu Shun, heavily wounding Wu Anguo, and defeating Gongsun Zan.

Three heroes fought Lu Bu; he fought Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei alone without being defeated, and escaped unscathed.

At the Battle of Puyang, he fought six famous generals under Cao Cao, including Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Xiahou Dun, alone and escaped unscathed.

Defeated Zhang Yan at Changshan, leading only dozens of cavalry, charging through the lines for days, heavily defeating the tens of thousands of Black Mountain troops.

Shooting the halberd at the gate, hitting the small branch of the halberd tip from a hundred paces, forcing Ji Ling to retreat without a fight, resolving Liu Bei's crisis.

At the Battle of Xiapi, he defeated the combined forces of Liu Bei and Xiahou Dun, shaking Xuzhou with his might.】

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng stood up suddenly upon seeing the part about the three heroes fighting Lu Bu.

"Fighting three peerless fierce generals alone and not being defeated? Truly unrivaled combat power through the ages, ghostly martial prowess!"

He had fought wars and knew what it meant to have three against one.

If three against one couldn't win, it meant this "one" had already exceeded the scope of normal people.

Han Gaozu Liu Bang slapped his thigh: "Guan and Zhang are both enemies of ten thousand, yet the three of them combined couldn't take him down; Lu Bu's martial prowess is truly unprecedented!"

After saying this, he added: "If I had been born a few hundred years earlier, I would definitely have brought this kid under my command."

Han Wudi Liu Che's eyes were burning: "The feudal lords were terrified, and he intimidated the chaotic times with his own strength. Just discussing fighting, this person is number one through the ages."

Sui Wendi Yang Jian nodded: "Invincible in single combat, unrivaled in charging lines, the number one martial power of the late Han chaotic times, no dispute."

Tang Taizong Li Shimin sighed and shook his head.

【Tang Taizong Li Shimin: His combat power is undoubtedly the ceiling of the Three Kingdoms. But no matter how fiercely he fights, if he doesn't understand human hearts or strategy, he will eventually be a flash in the pan.】
