Chapter 317 Group Fight at Hulao Gate (1/2)

Chapter 317 – Group Fight at Hulao Gate

Tong allowed Guan Yu to head out. He smiled and gave a toast to this future God of Loyalty.

”I pray for your victory.”

Guan Yu also raised his wine cup, ”I shall come back before this wine turns cold.”

Tong chuckled. He nodded and sent Guan Yu on his way, knowing that this would be different from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story.

'Khan has 10 Lu Bus. The same trick won't happen. Jiang Man will be forced to reveal his hands.'

He sat back and relaxed as he was looking forward to seeing the show.

…

Guan Yu rode forward. He and his signature weapon, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, caught the eyes of Khan in an instant.

Khan would never forget this man. He was the brother of the fox who coaxed Cao Cao into killing him in his previous life.

”Ah, Guan Yu. I never fought you in my previous life, yet our descendants made a novel about our bout. Let's see how you fare in reality. Number 10, go out again!”

Lu Bu's clone number 10 rode out to fight Guan Yu. As they rode toward each other, they did not bother introducing themselves.

The eye contact and the body language gave it away. They wanted a good fight.

”Hah!”

”Ora!”

*CLANK*

As two riders crossed each other, their weapons collided.

”Humph!”

”Again!”

*CLANK*

*BANG*

*CLANK*

10 Blows, 20 blows, 50 blows, after all the exchanges, they could not take the other down. However, Guan Yu could sense that he was not the clone's match.

After the 80th blow, Guan Yu revealed a sign of fatigue as he faltered backward, leaning back on his horse after a clash of weapon.

”Yuncheng! Damn it! I'm going to help!”

As in the novel, Zhang Fei rode out to help Guan Yu.

Seeing his third brother heading out, Liu Bei also followed after Zhang Fei, so did Jiang Man.

Unfortunately, Khan had prepared against this scenario.

”There they are. Number Nine, Number Eight, Number Seven, go and intercept those fools.”

Three more clones rushed to the battlefield, beelining toward the oncoming brothers of Guan Yu.

In the novel, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei fended off Lu Bu, which forced him to retreat back to Hulao Gate.

But the same trick could not be used here!

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei managed to rescue his older brother, but he saw three riders coming toward them.

Zhang Fei had to defend himself against the new participants.

”A group fight? Bring it, barbarians!”

Jiang Man, who chased after Zhang Fei, also had a company.

*CLANK*

Jiang Man raised his halberd and managed to block the strike of Number Seven clone in time. Although his hands and arms got numb from one blow, he could still survive on his own.

Zhang Fei and Jiang Man had no problem receiving the first strike of the men. Unfortunately, Liu Bei was not a good fighter.

*BANG*

Liu Bei was sent flying off his horse. Number Nine clone did not have a problem about single out the weakest link.

”Xuande!”

”First brother!”

”Shit!”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could not get back in time. At this rate, Number Nine would skewer Liu Bei and ended the legend of Shu Kingdom.

”Not on my watch! [K], go!”

[Kindness] Soul of Jiang Man came forth and chased after Number Nine.

The clone sensed the transparent spirit. He turned around with a sweep strike motion, aiming to cut Jiang Man's soul in half.

The crescent halberd went through the soul but did not cause any damage. Instead, Number Nine lost the initiative because of the big move.

As a soul, [Kindness] could not be harmed with physical attacks by any conventional weaponry. On the other hand, it could kill a mortal as long as it could reach the body of the victim.

The hand of [Kindness] went through the chest of Number Nine, which it got a hold of his heart. Without hesitation, the soul temporarily manifested the hand to the physical realm and clenched it.

Number Nine's body shook while it stared into the empty eyes of the ghost in shock. He lost all of his strength, falling down from his horse.

One Lu Bu had been killed!

Khan had seen everything from the start to the end. He smirked as he summoned all of his souls as well.

”Otherworlders can only be killed by another otherworlder. I don't know who you are, but you're my prey!”

Khan gestured to all of his clones. He also waved his hands to send all his souls toward the battlefield.

All clones rushed at the three brothers while the four spirits headed toward Jiang Man.

…

Tong could not stop smiling from the sight of the struggle as he was hoping that Jiang Man could get himself killed today.

'Well, it's a matter of times that everyone and their grandmothers will get angelic wings or demon wings. Having one or two right now doesn't really matter. Now, what are you waiting for, Khan? Kill him for me! Heck, kill Liu Bei and his goons now, so I won't have to dirty my hands on this false saint!'

While Tong was cheering for the clones, Pu Jing had another thought.

'If Cao Cao and I join forces with Zhang Tong, both Liu Bei and Jiang Man can be a nuisance. But if I want to get back to power, I need Zhang Tong to die. Well, it's unlikely that Zhang Tong will give up the throne for Cao Cao since he can easily defeat anyone by force. I should at least try to ally with those incompetence idiots and sabotage Zhang Tong's growth.'
