Chapter 30 - Battle of Kaiyang (3) (2/2)

“Hong!” The explosive rumble originating from the meeting of their weapons cause those nearby to have immense pain in their ears. A soldier who was closer to them even had his eardrums burst open and was bleeding from his ears.

“The force of thirty thousand catties!” Li Dian and Xu Huang glanced at each other. From each other’s eyes, they saw astonishment and a sense of fear. Both Li Dian and Xu Huang were standard first class generals. What separated first class generals and the top rated first class generals was a single crucial thing - the force of thirty thousand catties! It was like that those top rated generals have the divine assistance in their arms; every movement they make, they exhibit the force of thirty thousand catties.

“Kakakaka!” The stone platform that Xu Chu and Lu Bu was standing on began to rupture. The splashing cracked stones brought forth rows of blood blossoms as they encountered the face of bystanders.

“Ya!” Xu Chu’s giant blade was struck at a standstill against Lu Bu’s halberd. Xu Chu widened his eyes and poured all his strength into his arms and then into his giant blade. He wanted to use brute force to overwhelm Lu Bu.

“Battle of strength?!” Lu Bu thought that Xu Chu was thinking lightly of him. He was able to bite wolves to death, massacre the Wuwan and even suppress the eighteen warlords in the Hulao Pass! Other than possessing top quality martial abilities, his strength was also top quality.

The warlords of ancients was able to lift cauldrons. Lu Bu too could do that. It’s just that after the Han Dynasty, cauldrons became the symbol of the monarch and was no longer something that regular people could touch. Otherwise, Lu Bu certainly could also lift up a cauldron.

“In that case, come!” Lu Bu’s arms also burst forth an astonishing amount of strength. A contest between the tiger and the panther, a battle bringing rise to a storm!

“En!” The veins in Xu Chu’s arms was already bursting to their limit. A single thread of cold sweat have appeared on his face. “This Lu Bu!” Never did he expect that Lu Bu’s strength was no weaker than his own. In fact, it even surpasses his own strength.

“This Xu Chu!” Lu Bu was no less shocked than Xu Chu. Throughout his life, no one was able to withstand the strength of his arms. However today he have met an individual who could persist for so long. Alas, that stops now.

Lu Bu eyes flashed. He shouted abruptly. “Rise!” and the halberd came down with even greater force.

“Abominable!” Xu Chu was irritated. He was irritated that he lost to someone in what he was an expert in. For him, that was an extraordinary shame and humiliation.

“Zhongkang, you need not enrage. Xu Huang shall join you!” Xu Huang was a general. Although his martial abilities could not compare with Xu Chu and Lu Bu, he was still decent. His gigantic axe came crushing down at Lu Bu’s head.

“Che!” Lu Bu disdained Xu Huang’s actions as beneath contempt. He increased the strength in his arms once again. He forcefully break away Xu Chu’s giant blade and turned around to face the incoming axe.

“Dang!” Only after moving back a couple steps did Xu Huang managed to stabilize himself.

Lu Bu stood there with an indifferent expression. However, his hands was shaking back and forth by bits and pieces. Blood was flowing from his wrist toward the ground.

He was injured. The God of War was actually injured!

Xu Chu’s situation was no better. His hands were also shaking. Had Xu Huang not assisted him earlier, then perhaps he would have suffered deep humiliation from Lu Bu.

Without moving, Lu Bu wiped away the bloodstain on his hand. However, he was seen by the attentive Li Dian.

“He’s injured!” Cried Li Dian.

“Injured?!” Without exception, everyone was shocked. Lu Bu was the God of War with no match in the era. Even in the Hulao Pass when he was attacked by Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei he only fled. However, he was actually wounded now!

“He’s tired!” Xu Chu knew. He knew that Lu Bu was a top rated first class general that was even more powerful than himself. Thus, it was improbable for Lu Bu to be injured from a single blade of his and a single axe from Xu Huang. The only reason that could happen was that Lu Bu was overly tired and weary.

The Cao army’s continuous attack have caused this man who was akin to Gods to be tired. Lu Bu was no longer at his full strength!

“So what if I’m injured?! To kill you all is like killing domesticated chickens and dogs!” After being discovered, Lu Bu decided to stop hiding the fact that he’s injured. He teared open some cloth from his gown and began to bind his wound. The esteem of being the God of War was not something that Lu Bu would tarnish.
