Chapter 188 Counterattack

Translated by Gamer

“Go back! Go back!” Liu Mang’s cry was useless. The citizens of Wan Cheng continuously came out from the inner city to help the defenders fight the fire.

“Shoot!” Lu Su gazed insultingly. He did not think that these common citizens are not afraid of death. Lu Su finally understood the meaning of ‘no point threatening people who does fear death.’ (TL: Some kind of idiom.)

The phrase originated from Lao Tze of the Taoist philosophy and is one of Lu Su’s preferred foundation. The meaning of this phrase would be for the rulers to treat the people well instead of indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Lu Su had been moving forward with this goal but he has changed. Several decades of years have already been distorted.

“Do not blame me! If need blame, blame yourselves for blocking the path of Milord!” Lu Su told himself. However, he did not hesitate in giving out commands. Arrows rain again onto the walls and the cold corpses fell down the walls.

“Stop! Stop!” Liu Mang shouted. His fingers have dug into his flesh but he did not realize it. “Sun Ce! d.a.m.n you! d.a.m.n you!”

Liu Mang’s eyes began to redden. His consciousness started to blur. A voice in his heart seemed to echo. Kill, you just need to kill him! When you kill him, the siege tower will stop firing! The citizens will not die! Just need to kill him! Kill! Kill! Liu Mang stopped moving. His killing intent rose greatly.

“General! Be careful!” While Liu Mang was standing there, Dong Xi took the opportunity to strike. The giant mace aimed at Liu Mang’s head. Once it hits, even celestial beings will not be able to save him. The head under the giant mace will be smashed flat. Not only will the helmet be broken, the skull will be smashed into the body.

*Boom* The giant mace smashed downwards. The mace hit the heavy armor. It ignored all the properties of the heavy armor and the armor turned into paste. Blood and minced meat splashed and Liu Mang fell down.

“This! This!” Liu Mang’s pupil enlarged. He did not dare believe it.

He was also not willing to believe, an Urban Army soldier died at the hands of Dong Xi. At that moment, an Urban Army soldier pushed Liu Mang out of the way and took the hit meant for Liu Mang. His head was smashed into his armor and along with half of his body, turned into minced meat.

“Hahahahaha!” Liu Mang suddenly laughed savagely and got up. “Dong Xi! Sun Ce! Dong Xi! Sun Ce! Hahahahaha!” His gave a horrifying expression as if there was a blazing inferno in his eyes.

“Little lord!” Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng became surprised. What happened? That face. That demeanor.

“d.a.m.n you! d.a.m.n you! Kill! Kill! Kill!” His eyes no longer had any black color. Both eyes were completely red. His imposing demeanor continues to increase. His killing intent was so high that even Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng feel terrified.

“Such heavy killing intent!?” Sun Ce tightened his eyebrows. He turned to look at Tais.h.i.+ Ci and found that Tais.h.i.+ Ci was also looking at him. “Murderous rampage? Is he crazy?” The fighting power will increase but once he gets lost in his rage, he will be unable to go back. (TL: Literally, Killing Path. But that sounds weird so I took Pegasus’ version of the translation.)

Under the sky there are only a few types of people. For example, Sun Ce has his Overlord spear, Huang Zhong has his golden sword. Tais.h.i.+ Ci uses two halberds and Su Fei uses the way of the cunning sword. Zhou Tai and Dong Xi uses a wild fighting style. All that is left was the ‘King’s Way’ and ‘Murderous Rampage’.

(TL: My brain hurts. This is the raw.

天下武者之中无非就那么几种，比如说孙策手中霸王枪和黄忠的金刀的霸道，太史慈双戟以及苏飞长剑的诡道，周泰董袭的这种狂道，剩下的就是一个王道以及杀道了。)

Sun Ce has not seen ‘King’s Way’ but the Western Chu Overlord’s predecessor have seen it before. His old rival, Huayin Hou Han Xin who has reached this stage and surrounded Xiang Yu with an ambush. By the time Xiang Yu realized the meaning of king, it was already too late. His whole family was dead. What was the purpose of living? Finally, the Chu Overlord decided to commit suicide at the Wu Jiang river.

‘Murderous Rampage’ increases your strength with very little time but it is the one skill that people are reluctant to use. This is because it is easy to lose yourself with this skill. Once a person loses himself, he would be unable to distinguish between friend and foe. The weapon in the hand must drink blood every day. At the end of the day, not only will your friends become your enemy but you will become a natural disaster.

Many generations G.o.d of War have disappeared like this. Now, Liu Mang is also using Murderous Rampage. He would not stop until his opponent is dead. If Dong Xi is not killed, Liu Mang would die.

“Kill! Die!” If Sun Ce of Tais.h.i.+ Ci was the one fighting Liu Mang, they will certain avoid Liu Mang until he is exhausted. However, Dong Xi was not like that. All this while he was a madman. When he goes crazy, he is similar to someone using Murderous Rampage. As a result, when he sees Liu Mang’s appearance, he rushes toward him.

*Boom* The s.h.i.+eldblade once again meet the giant mace. Last time, Liu Mang can only endure Dong Xi’s strike but this time it was different. Not only was he able to resist the strikes but for a brief moment he even pushed back the mace that had a thousand jun worth of strength.

The s.h.i.+eldblade pushed forward with a strong will to kill Dong Xi.
