Chapter 408 Unworthy Opponen (2/2)

Still, the curse hindered his movement for a split second.
As for Vida, he also received a system warning.

Vida snorted as he was aware of this fact. However, his aim had been accomplished with this skill as he managed to escape from Lu Bu's ambush.
Both riders passed each other again. The second blow was still a draw.
Lu Bu did not pull his horse to turn around. This time, he leaped backward from his horse, rotating his body in mid-air.
He jumped from Redhare King to attack Vida from behind.
Vida sensed Lu Bu's killing intent. He jumped off his horse, escaping to the side.
*BOOM*
Lu Bu cleaved Vida's horse in half!
'Again, Double-Accel!'
Lu Bu could feel his blood pressure pulsed heavier than the previous skill usage. His body told Lu Bu that he would reach his limit if he used this skill in a succession. However, if he delayed the usage a bit, he could keep using it indefinitely.
'I'll regen after I used the [Triple-Accel]. For now, I have to bear with it!'
Without waiting for Vida to regain his stance, Lu Bu rushed before his enemy.
The crescent halberd slashed sideway.
*DONG*
An odd sound resonated the air. Lu Bu felt like someone had rung a giant bell.
Also, Lu Bu did not feel feedback from his third strike. Instead, he sensed that something had pulled his weapon, stopping it from cutting Vida in half.
As Lu Bu focused his sense, he found that Vida stared at his crescent halberd with his bloodshot eyes.
Below Vida's nostrils, blood dripped as if someone had not turned off a faucet properly.
He managed to stop Lu Bu's strike again, using his invented skill [Soundwave of Defense]. It nullified the strength behind all physical attacks, which forced Lu Bu's crescent halberd to stop mid-swing.
However, he had to pay the price similar to what Lu Bu had experienced.
Still, Lu Bu had battled Tong years ago, and he understood what he had to sacrifice for the supernatural power. As a result, he had trained to the point that his body could handle [Double Accel] as his second nature.
This was the difference between Vida and Lu Bu. Vida kept this as his trump card while this was Lu Bu's typical moves.
Lu Bu pulled back his halberd, and he tried again.
Fourth strike!
*DONG*
Fifth strike!
*DONG*
Six
*DONG*
…
Tenth Strike!
*DONG*
Vida was on his knees as he had done nothing but parrying Lu Bu's reinforced blows. Blood flowed out of his facial orifices as he had gone beyond his body limit could handle.
Before Lu Bu hit him the eleventh time, Vida collapsed on the ground.
”I … give … up.”
Vida fainted.
Lu Bu looked at the demon and snorted in disappointment. This person did not understand the basic concept of superpower and could not utilize them like Tong or himself.
There were more than just relying on the power of wings. Their bodies had to be trained to withstand the backlash of the special ability, or else, this happened.
Vida's followers were speechless. From a mortal's point of view, these two exchanged their blows at lightning speed. Although their eyes could follow their horses, they could not see Lu Bu or Vida's movements. After Vida and Lu Bu got off their horses, the god of war struck the former ten times within less than one seconds, sending odd sounds of a ringing bell.
Now, their strongest warrior was out of commission. None of them had the confidence to fight this four-winged angel.
”What should we do? Retreat?”
”R-R-Right. Let's go back to Wuwei.”
”But we don't have enough provision.”
”We can plunder the locals!”
Lu Bu had a deep frown when he overheard the conversation. After he had looked at the militias and the army of captured slaves, his anger went through the roof.
With a soft voice, Lu Bu uttered, ”Kill them all. Save the slaves.”
Gao Shun got the order.
*BWOOOO*
50,000 Redhare knights raised their weapons as they charged at the mercenary army.
.

.
Without a leader or a general, Vida Army fell apart even though they had heavy armors and good weaponry.
Lu Bu Army rescued all 50,000 slaves, but he did not spare the militias who were driven by greed. As for the cataphracts and hoplites, these unorganized men were slaughtered by Gao Shun.
As for Vida, he was captured and interrogated by Lu Bu.
In an isolated cave, Lu Bu splashed a bucket of water at the chained Vida.
The prisoner woke up with crushing pain all over his body. He felt nauseous that he could pass out again at any moment.
”I'll let you rest if you answer all of my questions.”
”…”
”First, where are you from?”
