Chapter 116 – Turning Point at Jinyang - Part 7
The aura that Tong had tried to rouse before seeped out from his body. It was not as strong as the first time he used it against Lu Bu the other day, but Tong could sense it.
Tong pointed the muzzles of his guns toward Lu Bu and fired both of them without caring if Lu Bu would die from the bullets.
*BANG* *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*
Three bullets were ricocheted by Lu Bu's unique designed iron armor, but one bullet penetrated his left arm which was holding his halberd.
The sudden pain made Lu Bu turned around and gazed at Tong, who was standing in front of the entrance door of the government hall building.
The situation outside already subsided as all raiders were killed. However, the garrison troops dare not enter the hall because of the killing intent from Tong and Lu Bu.
”That sorcery again… I hate that coward way of fighting.”
”I also hate your fighting style.”
*BANG* *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*
Tong fired his pistols as he aimed at Lu Bu's vital spots.
On the other side, Lu Bu swung his halberd with his uninjured right arm and deflected the majority of bullets that came for him.
*WHOOSH*
One of the bullets grazed his neck. It cut his minor blood vessels, which leaked out red liquid from his neck.
”No more playing catch! Now die!”
Lu Bu kicked the ground and disappeared from Tong's sight.
Although Tong could not see Lu Bu's movements, he sensed a signature of a living being coming at him from his left side.
Tong leaped toward his right and turned left with both his guns pointing forward. He fired again without confirming the target.
*BANG* *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*
The bullets pierced Lu Bu's chest armor and bit into his flesh. However, they were too shallow.
The crescent halberd made a half-moon arc and slashed passed Tong's both extended arms that were holding the dual guns. Two arms were lopped off!
More after images slashed Tong's legs and torso. Blood gushed out all over the place.
Tong did not panic this time. Instead, his killing intent continued to grow.
Both of his lost arms regenerated. His injuries kept healing to counter the incoming attacks non-stop. Tong pulled out his lucky charm from his inventory. It was the grenade that Tong kept it with himself for over a year.
'Thank you for staying with me for all these times. Goodbye.'
Tong pulled the pin and jumped at Lu Bu as if he was a suicide bomber.
”If you die from this, you suck!”
*BOOM*
The grenade exploded at point blank. Fragments and shrapnel were pushed by the explosive forces and scattered in every direction.
Lu Bu felt as if he was hit by a sledgehammer at his chest. Several pieces of shrapnel got through his iron armor and dug themselves into his flesh. His body was knocked back into the air.
By instinct, Lu Bu regained his balanced in mid-air. His feet tapped on the ground lightly and staggered backward five steps. Then he came to a pause.
His chest armor was charred black and torn to shred. Blood dripped out from the numerous wound behind his wrecked armor. Both his arms were still intact, but small wounds could be seen everywhere. His tights and legs were in a better condition, but they were shaking as the force of the explosive shook his innards and nerve system.
Meanwhile, the explosion blasted away a large portion of Tong's bowel and tore his left arm. Tong did not wait. He regenerated his lost flesh in an instant.
'I forgot. All suicidal actions can override my physical immune passive.'
Tong was immune to all physical attacks, but he could still be harmed if he intentionally hurt himself, such as jumping off a tall building or cut himself. Throwing a grenade at himself also bypassed his immunity skill.
Because of the explosion, Tong had sparked another idea for combatting Lu Bu and future war.
'I should have done this earlier. I'm so stupid.'
Tong looked around the trace of the explosion. There were a small fire and smoke from the ground and the fragments of the grenade.
His rifle was lost when he fell down into this building. One of his three pistols was broken. The other two were on the ground with Tong's severed arms.
Tong pointed his palm at Lu Bu who was struggling and dizzy from the sudden explosive noise and forces.
”[Create Food]! Give me some vegetable oil! Limit the amount to 1 liter!”
Slippery substance liquid appeared above the head of Lu Bu and rained down upon him. He was now soaked with oil!
”Fengxian! If you don't want to die, stop what you are doing! We can still be friends in the future. Don't make me do this!”
Tong threatened to kill Lu Bu even though he felt pity for him. He meant it when he said he did not want to do this.
Meanwhile, Lu Bu stopped all of his movement. He stared forward while he concentrated to regain his hearing and his sight from the dizziness. He stood still for 3 minutes before he could hear and see everything again.
Noticing that he was soaked with oil, Lu Bu glanced around himself. Small traces of fire and smoke, caused by the grenade, were in between Tong and himself as if they were the line that he could not cross.
”Sorcery again one after another, huh? You know what, Tong? I take back my words. I hate you now. You're a coward like my master.”
”If you hate your master that much, why are you following his order?”
”I have to. But I don't know why.”
Tong sighed. He glanced at the system menu option. The clock on the screen showed 9.10 AM.
'Five more minutes.'
A sword was summoned from Tong's inventory. Tong glared back at Lu Bu as if he got himself ready for another bout.Lu Bu also readied his stance and planned to make the next move.
The crowd of garrison guards already entered the hall and surrounded the two. However, none of them dare to attack Lu Bu or Tong as their killing intent vortex was still present.
Tong noticed this. He hesitated if he should use this chance to run away now or continue confronting with this God of War.
'If I run, everyone here will be killed. Lu Bu is a freak right now.'
