Now Zhao Kuangyin's Dragon Submergence Effect Three activates!

Lü Bu's Martial Power +2, his Martial Power now rises to 133!

After Zhao Kuangyin this troublemaker provided a buff to Lü Bu from behind,

As time passed, Lü Bu gradually revealed his strength as the greatest War God of the Three Kingdoms.

Under Zhao Kuangyin's enhancement, the Painted Heavenly Halberd danced with greater speed and force, and its black-red aura grew even more ferocious.

Like a War God descending to the mortal realm, he attacked Ran Min with unstoppable force.

Ran Min felt an unprecedented pressure, yet he did not lose an ounce of his aura.

He gripped his double-edged spear tightly, exerting all his strength to fend off Lü Bu.

His blood-red aura grew ever richer, as if it would dye the entire battlefield crimson.

However, after another fierce clash, Ran Min finally revealed a weakness.

Lü Bu seized the opportunity, his Painted Heavenly Halberd thrusting toward Ran Min's chest like lightning.

Ran Min dodged in time, yet the halberd's tip still sliced his left arm, blood instantly staining his battle robe.

Ah!

Ran Min roared, his eyes blood-red as he stared at Lü Bu: 'If I don't kill you today, I, Ran Min, swear not to be human!'

He brandished his double-edged spear and charged at Lü Bu again, the battle between them once more entering a white-hot stage.

However, Lü Bu now held the advantage, his Painted Heavenly Halberd reaping Ran Min's vitality like a scythe of death.

At this moment, Ran Min saw the situation turning dire, knowing he must unleash his full strength to turn the tide.

He drew a deep breath, his entire body surging with crimson aura like boiling blood, exuding an unyielding fighting will.

This aura was like molten lava, both scorching and brimming with power.

Following his will, it swiftly gathered behind him, forming a towering Dharma Aspect.

This Dharma Aspect stood several zhang tall, clad in armor, with a stern visage and torch-like gaze—truly the War God Dharma Aspect of the Martial Mourning Heavenly King Ran Min!

Blood energy swirled around the Dharma Aspect, like a War God descending to the world, exuding a chilling pressure.

Haha, Ran Min, you are indeed extraordinary!

Seeing this, Lü Bu laughed loudly with heroic spirit soaring to the heavens.

Before his words faded, Lü Bu also activated his own black-red aura, behind him similarly manifesting a Ghost God Dharma Aspect.

This Dharma Aspect was hulking, with a ferocious countenance, wielding a Painted Heavenly Halberd, its whole body exuding a violent and mysterious aura.

It stood opposite Ran Min's Dharma Aspect far off, forming a standoff.

At this moment, the wind howled across the battlefield; the two warriors' aura and Dharma Aspect seemed to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, filling the surrounding air with a lethal chill.

Lü Bu launched the first attack, his Painted Heavenly Halberd carrying violent black-red aura, tracing fierce halberd strikes toward Ran Min once more.

Each strike seemed capable of tearing space, carrying the force of thunderous might.

Ran Min showed no fear, brandishing his double-edged spear to meet the attack.

Crimson aura leapt at the spear's tip like a lively fire snake, clashing violently with Lü Bu's Painted Heavenly Halberd.

Clang!

The clang of metal reverberated across the battlefield, each collision triggering a deafening roar. Their figures darted swiftly across the field, leaving blurred afterimages.

Their weapons intertwined, emitting a piercing metallic screech, sparks flying everywhere.

The warriors' aura and Dharma Aspects also fought fiercely.

Lü Bu's Ghost God Dharma Aspect wielded a massive Painted Heavenly Halberd, each swing carrying destructive power.

While Ran Min's Martial Mourning Heavenly King Dharma Aspect brandished a double-edged spear, meeting the attack with unmatched might.

The clash of the two Dharma Aspects was even more intense than the warriors' own battle, their black-red and crimson auras intertwining and colliding in the air like two giant dragons locked in combat.

The entire battlefield was shaken by this tremendous energy.

As time passed, the battle between them entered a white-hot stage.

Lü Bu's Painted Heavenly Halberd danced ever faster, its black-red aura seeming to tear through any obstruction.

Ran Min's double-edged spear grew ever sharper, its crimson aura blazing like fierce fire.

Hahaha!

"Ran Min, you are truly a worthy opponent!"

Lu Bu burst into laughter, his fighting spirit soaring ever higher.

"You, this night-slaughtering bandit commander, are indeed immensely powerful."

"But wanting to defeat me, Ran Min, is not that easy!"

Ran Min also curled the corner of his mouth into a bloodthirsty smile.

Their conversation was filled with heroism and fighting spirit, as if it would set the entire battlefield ablaze.

Each of their clashes produced a thunderous roar like heaven collapsing and earth splitting, making people's hearts tremble.

"Come, death! Ghost gods descend!"

Just then, Lu Bu suddenly unleashed a ultimate technique.

Only to see his Ghost God Dharma Aspect wielding a halberd, suddenly chopping down; a huge black-red halberd light tore across the sky, lunging at Ran Min.

Seeing this, Ran Min did not yield, gripping a spear and a halberd with both hands, facing that halberd light with a heaven-shattering, earth-destroying posture.

Boom—!

Two powerful forces collided violently in the air, like the wrath of thunder, deafeningly loud.

Lu Bu's Ghost God Dharma Aspect and Ran Min's Heavenly King Dharma Aspect displayed awe-inspiring power at this moment.

The black-red and blood-red qi intertwined and surged, as if about to tear the entire sky apart.
