Chapter 105 Pride (2/2)

[WARNING! DEMONIC SEAL HAS BEEN WEAKENED!]

[WARNING! DEMONIC SEAL HAS BEEN WEAKENED!]

[WARNING! DEMONIC SEAL HAS BEEN WEAKENED!]

The system message roared inside of Tong's mind as if it shouted to his ears directly, yet Tong did not pay attention to it. Rather, he did not hear it. His vision only had Lu Bu and himself. The rest was just nothingness.

Then

...

[Your [Demonic Curse] skill, [Pride], can be used.]

…

*BOOM*

The aura within Tong's body exploded. His killing intent engulfed all living being in Jinyang City. The eyes which once appeared normal was painted in black. His pupils turned into flaming red as if he was a devil incarnated.

Ding Yuan, who was about to step up and stop his adopted son, was panic-stricken. All soldiers were frightened and stumbled onto the ground. Zhou Cang opened his eyes wide in astonishment. Though his legs had given up on him, he still managed to keep his eyes on his Lord to witness his greatness.

Lu Bu got goosebumps by the sudden the outburst killing aura.

Instead of being afraid by the devil, Lu Bu was so excited that he reneged his promise earlier as he also exploded his killing aura to match up with Tong. He intended to go all out.

*BOOM*

The clashing of killing intent made the soldiers nearby lost consciousness. Zhou Cang also almost fainted from the outburst.

”HAHAHAHA! THAT'S RIGHT, BRAT! COME ON! LET'S GO!”

Lu Bu broke his promise and attacked Tong head on. He swung his sword sideways to get rid of his scabbard. Then the flashing iron sword in the hand of Lu Bu hacked down, aiming for Tong's forehead.

Tong took a step forward and welcomed the attack with his sword strike of his own.

*BANG*

It was not a sound of clashing between swords. It was a sound of a collision of hard objects as if two trucks ran into each other head-on.

Both Tong and Lu Bu came to a stop with the sword collision. Both swords locked and grinded each other, which caused sparks on the surface of the iron swords.

”Good power! Again!”

Lu Bu shouted and shoved forward, which Tong also did the same. Both of them used the momentum to leap back two steps and then charged forward one more time.

As if both of them could read each other, they did not collide with their swords again. They knew that their swords were cracked from the previous impact. With another strike, their sword would be shattered.

Lu Bu feinted a strike and sidestep into a low sword sweep while Tong dodged the low blow with ajump and countered it with a horizontal sword sweep, aiming at Lu Bu's eyes.

Lu Bu bent his head backward and dodged the sweep by half a centimeter. His arm and shoulder of the hand that held his sword did not stop. They made a half rotation and his sword was swung in a half-moon motion at Tong, who was still in mid-air.

”TIME S-! Ugh!”

Tong almost shouted the activation words for his time stop skill by reflex, but the sudden head pain made him stuttered in mid-word.

Because of the hesitation and the mistake in the split of a second, Tong was hit by Lu Bu's sword on his left ribcage.

The sword broke upon the impact, but it did not harm Tong's body. On the other hand, Tong was surprised by the sudden impact and lost balance. He fell and rolled on the ground as if he was hit and flew away by the impact.

The duel ended with Lu Bu's victory in three moves.

[The Demonic Seal has been restored.]

[Your skill [Pride] has been disabled.]

”Huh? What the fudge?”

Tong was confused by the sudden turn of events. Everything he did in the duel just now was not under his control. He temporary fell into a half-awake state and fought as if he was moving his body inside a dream.

Then, the headache made him fully awake again before he was hit by Lu Bu's sword.

Tong lied on the ground while he touched his forehead with his hand to ease his headache. The pain only lasted for three seconds before it subsided.

”Aw, crap. What a pain.”

Tong complained in annoyance. There were many questions about his skill that he subconsciously used, but he had to deal with the situation at hand first.

Meanwhile, Lu Bu was dumbstruck by the durability of Tong's body.

'It was a clean strike, yet he wasn't injured a bit. There is no wound on his body, too. Hahaha! I like this guy. I should ask him to spar with me more!'
