Chapter 111 Turning Point at Jinyang – Part 2 (2/2)
”Excuse me. What about our agreement?”
Xu Da asked in confusion. He attempted to gesture Lu Bu that he should come to his sense and accept the offer.
Witnessing the dancing monkey in front of him, Lu Bu laughed in his heart.
'It is just like what Feihong had told me. Someone from Dong Zhuo's men will bait me into betraying my father. Hah! Do you think I'm a fool!?'
”What agreement? I don't know what you are talking about.”
Lu Bu feigned ignorant and turned back toward his camp. He also did not forget to gesture Xu Da to go back as if he was saying ”Thanks for the meal. Now you can scram”.
Realizing that he was scammed, Xu Da's face reddened. Veins bulged under his facial skin. His breath became rough and short, while his eyes were blood-shot.
”TURN AROUND, LU FENGXIAN! WE'RE NOT DONE YET!!”
Shouted with all air in his lung, Xu Da planned to use his skill on Lu Bu one more time. This time, Xu Da would command him to kill Ding Yuan directly. Once the deed was done, Lu Bu would not have a place to go but Dong Zhuo's cities.
Lu Bu stopped his feet. He did not turn back as he was told to. Instead, an order came out from his mouth.
”Send away the guests! If they resist, kill them on the spot!”
”Lu Bu! You ingrate!”
”I'm ingrate? No, you're the ingrate! Your grandmother is the ingrate! Your entire family is the ingrates! I did not pursue and kill you yesterday is already an act of kindness! You are the dog that bites the hands of your benefactor. Guards! Kill them all!”
A hundred elite soldiers of Lu Bu rushed in with their spears.
Because of the sudden turn of events, the two hundred escort troops of Xu Da were still in shock and unable to draw their weapons to defend themselves. All of them was killed in an instant.
”Dammit, Lu Bu! I'll make you pay back a hundredfold! All of you lots! Look into my eyes! Kill your friends right now!”
Xu Da gave a command to the victims that fell into his trick and glanced into his eyes.
The affected soldiers stumbled backward for a couple seconds as they felt the sharp pain, and a new memory was injected into their brain. The moment the headache subsided, they turned around.
The attacking soldiers were thrown into a confused uproar. Friendly soldiers suddenly turned around and attack their comrades with their spears. Brothers who grew up with each other from birth killed each other with tears in their eyes. Friends that had been through several battlefields together stabbed the others with their swords while the sane soldiers kept asking them ”Why”.

…
[Eyes of Domination], a devastating skill that was designed by Xu Da. He had been using this as his trump card for years in many battlefields while he was fighting for Dong Zhuo at the western borders.
One second of eye contact and one command was all he needed to slaughter the entire army of 100,000 men!
Lu Bu had tasted this skill yesterday night, so he became conscious of Xu Da's eyes. He could not explain this phenomenon, but Lu Bu could tell that the sorcery's origin connected with Xu Da's eyes.
Because of the wariness of the unknown sorcery, Lu Bu retreated into the camp without turning back to look at Xu Da.
”Soldiers! That man will use sorcery on you if you look at him in his eyes! Those who aren't affected by the spell, retreat to the camp!”
”Hahaha! It's too late Lu Fengxian! There is no escape! Soldiers, be my slaves and capture Lu Bu!”
Another batch of Lu Bu's guards was entranced by the skill. They turned around and chased after their boss.
Within less than two minutes, all one hundred guards that came with Lu Bu were either died or ended up under the mind-control of Xu Da.
Lu Bu was depressed and frustrated by the unexplainable situation. He did not want his men to kill each other. If he were to retreat, more of his men would fall prey to this sorcery again.
Lu Bu resolved himself and turned around with a short bow in his hands. He nocked an arrow and drew the string into a half-moon shape. The eyes of Lu Bu locked with Xu Da's for a split second before the arrow was fired.
”LU BU! BE MY SLAVE!!”
*Whoosh*
*Ssuuk*
The arrow that Lu Bu had fired flew pass the incoming crowd. It pierced the right eye of Xu Da and knocked him backward.
Meanwhile, Lu Bu received the full effect of the mind-controlling skill. He staggered backward in dizziness while he was gritting his teeth.
”I AM THE MASTER OF MY WILL! YOU CANNOT CONTROL ME!!”
Lu Bu bit his tongue and clenched both of his fists to the point that his nails dug into his hands. Blood dripped down from the wounds and the corner of his mouth. His eyes fixated at Xu Da with hatred.
Lu Bu did not move for ten minutes before he was unable to resist the system skill. He knelt down with one knee and bowed toward Xu Da.
