Chapter 769

The strength of an ordinary person simply could not compare to Zhang Fei.

Even Guan Yu fell slightly short.

Yet, the general before them named Lu Bu had suppressed Zhang Fei steadily with a single strike.

Lu Zhi was also extremely astonished.

Ever since Liu Bei had arrived to offer his services, bringing along his two sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they had been participating in the suppression of the Huang Jin rebels.

This man named Zhang Fei, and the one behind him named Guan Yu, had been the first to charge into battle in every engagement.

In several major battles, the two had successively beheaded enemy generals and seized their banners, earning no small amount of military merit.

Currently, they held considerable prestige in the army, with everyone saying the two possessed the mettle to face ten thousand men.

Yet, this Vanguard Commander of Duan Yu's had suppressed Zhang Fei with a single strike?

"Big Brother, this man..." Guan Yu narrowed his phoenix eyes into slits, his grip tightening on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hands.

"Second Brother, stay calm," Liu Bei said, pressing his hand down. "Do you not trust Third Brother's martial arts? Just watch for now."

"Master Lu asked Third Brother not to hurt him; perhaps Third Brother is holding back."

On the other side, Zhang Fei was still being bitterly suppressed.

To say he was holding back—Zhang Fei had not even had the opportunity to do so.

But at this moment, Lu Bu's rage meter had been filled to the brim.

From the day he first mounted a warhorse, no one had ever spoken to him like that.

Those who dared to spout such nonsense before him were already buried in graves where the grass grew taller than a man.

Of course, with the sole exception of Duan Yu.

"You black-faced wretch, your mouth is so foul; today, I shall teach you how to behave properly."

Lu Bu abruptly raised his Halberd of the Heavenly Heavens, then traced an arc in mid-air before delivering an upward strike.

Zhang Fei felt as if the mountain-like force on his hands had suddenly vanished into thin air.

His arms straightened.

The next second, a gust of wind struck toward his waist.

With no time to think, Zhang Fei instinctively dodged backward, pressing against his horse's back as he arched his waist.

Despite his burly frame, Zhang Fei's movements on horseback were incredibly nimble and swift.

The gust of wind grazed past Zhang Fei's chest.

After rising back up, Zhang Fei let out a series of wild roars.

The Serpent Spear in his hand followed the momentum to thrust toward Lu Bu's chest.

"White-faced brat, watch as your Grandpa Zhang pokes one hundred and eighty transparent holes through you!"

Zhang Fei glared with eyes as wide as copper bells.

"Hmph."

Lu Bu let out a snort of disdain.

To Lu Bu, this speed was far too slow.

He saw Lu Bu suddenly leap up, stepping onto his saddle, and then planting a foot directly onto the tip of Zhang Fei's Serpent Spear.

This sight left Zhang Fei completely dumbfounded.

Taking advantage of this opening, Lu Bu smashed the Halberd of the Heavenly Heavens directly toward Zhang Fei's head.

Zhang Fei was not wearing a helmet, only a military cap on his head.

If this strike landed, it would surely result in his brains being splattered.

But it was already too late for Zhang Fei to dodge.

His Serpent Spear was still pinned under Lu Bu's foot.

"Die."

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and roared.

Just then, a flash of green light flickered at the corner of Lu Bu's eye.

Relying on instinct, Lu Bu immediately leaped backward, performing a backflip in mid-air.

Swish!

Just as Lu Bu retreated.

A green blade-light flashed across the spot where Lu Bu had been standing.

Upon landing on the ground, Lu Bu immediately let out a whistle.

His warhorse, Yulong, turned around and galloped wildly toward him.

"Third Brother, are you alright?"

Guan Yu, holding his blade in one hand, stroked his beard as he watched Lu Bu vault back onto his horse.

"An ambush?"

Lu Bu looked at Guan Yu after mounting his horse.

"Hmph," Guan Yu snorted coldly. "Madman, do I need an ambush to kill you?"

"Third Brother, step back and watch me slay this madman."

"Giddyap!"

With that, Guan Yu shook the reins, dragging his Green Dragon Crescent Blade along the ground.

"Second Brother, I'll help you!" Zhang Fei roared and followed closely behind Guan Yu.

Seeing Zhang Fei and Guan Yu charging toward him, Lu Bu showed no fear on his face.

"I thought you were heroes," Lu Bu said with a cold laugh. "Isn't there still that big-eared fellow? Come at me together; let's see how I, Lu Bu, behead all three of you today."

Liu Bei: "..."

In the distance, atop Guangzong City.

"Pah, how shameless!"

Jia Dong cursed loudly. "What kind of thing is this? One couldn't beat him, so now it's two against one."

"They really have no shame at all."

Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, as well as Hao Meng and Zhang Xiu were all watching the duel outside the city.

When Lu Bu had led his cavalry to provoke the East Camp earlier, it had been hard to see clearly due to the dust.

But now, with the duel happening in front of the lines, everyone could see the general situation from their high vantage point.

Aside from Jia Dong and Hao Zhao, the others had all witnessed Lu Bu's ferocity.

In a one-on-one fight, none of them believed anyone on Lu Zhi's side could defeat Lu Bu.

Yet, they hadn't expected someone to be so shameless as to fight two-on-one.

"Let me go out; I'll go meet them!"

Zhang Xiu, holding his Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Spear, said, "I saw those two a couple of days ago; they are very formidable."

"There is also one who uses dual swords; his martial arts are not bad either. I'm worried Lu Bu might suffer a loss."

Jia Xu shook his head. "You have been in the city for many days; if you go out now, you might be recognized."

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Xiu frowned. "We can't just watch them bully our own people like this."

No sooner had Zhang Xiu finished speaking than they heard an exclamation from Jia Dong.

"Look over there, everyone!"

Jia Dong was so excited he nearly jumped, pointing to the south side of Lu Zhi's East Camp.

Everyone's gaze instantly converged on that spot.

Under the scorching sun, a red figure, like a flame, was moving toward them at an incredible speed.

"It's the Lord!"

Zhang Xiu gripped the battlements in excitement.

The bright red warhorse galloped with all four hooves.

A scarlet cape, like a cloud of blood, fluttered behind him—who else could it be but Duan Yu! ===== CHAPTER 771 =====
