Chapter 423 Battle of Jiameng Pass – Lu Bu VS Chanyu Khan (1/2)
Chapter 423 – Battle of Jiameng Pass – Lu Bu VS Chanyu Khan
Lu Bu could see a lone rider charging at his army. Had it been the past before he had met Tong, he would have mocked this person as a fool.
After he obtained the cultivation method, Lu Bu knew that he should not underestimate a person who seemed to act like a fool on a battlefield. After all, that person might be an immortal.
And his guess was right. Lu Bu could sense a threatening aura from that man.
As he got closer, Lu Bu spotted the giant redhare, which was the same as his horse.
'That guy.'
Lu Bu recognized Khan, who had fought with him when he was participating in the coalition against the Xiongnu period.
He turned to his assistants, ”Tell everyone to fall back 100 paces. Do not help me, no matter what will happen from now on. If I die, retreat immediately!”
”S-Sir?”
”Just do it.”
”SIR, YOU FORGOT YOUR HELMET!!”
It was too late. Lu Bu kicked his horse and galloped forward, charging at Khan.
The duel began without a verbal challenge!
The two riders got closer, reaching 50 meters in the distance.
40 Meters …
30 Meters …
20 Meters …
Once they got to the range of 10 meters, Khan laughed, ”LU FENGXIAN, YOU FOOL! [TIME STOP]!”
It was Tong's copied skill!
The world turned into a black and white world as everything came to a pause, except Khan.
Khan leaped from his horseback, jumping forward toward Lu Bu.
”This is the difference between you and me! Die for me!!”
Khan reinforced all of his power into one strike as Liu Yang had taught him years ago. He swung his halberd at Lu Bu, planning to chop him in half.
50 Seconds of time-stopping was more than enough to kill this god of war!
*BOOM*
Khan slashed down.
But his halberd was stopped by something. He could feel a feedback impact through the halberd shaft.
When Khan looked at the tip of his halberd, he was shocked.
Lu Bu was unharmed!
Furthermore, he was glaring at Khan.
Above his head, a faint thin layer of Lu Bu's angelic aura protected him from Khan's attack.
Khan sensed a dreadful killing intent. He leaped backward in a panic.
”Impossible! The [Time Stop] skill should have stopped everything! You shouldn't have this skill, too! How can he move!?”
He took his time staring at Lu Bu as Khan thought that his opponent could counter-attack against him.
However, his theory proved him wrong. Lu Bu did not move from the spot.
30 Seconds remaining until the [Time Stop] skill worn out.
Khan was relieved that Lu Bu could not do anything against him in this greyscale world. He laughed.
”Oh, Lu Fengxian. You've surprised the great me. I thought for once that you can still attack me in this world, but it seems that I had overestimated you. I don't know how you blocked my attack, but you won't be able to do it again!”
Khan jumped at Lu Bu again, who was still on his horseback.
He slashed his halberd sideway, planning to behead Lu Bu in one blow.
*BOOM*
The halberd hit, but it was still stopped by the thin layer of Lu Bu's aura.
Khan was infuriated that Lu Bu could still resist. He focused all of his forces and launched a barrage of attacks.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Every second passed, twenty impacts caused 20 shockwaves in the air. Yet, Khan could not kill Lu Bu.
5 Seconds remaining
Khan was so mad that he was mentally exhausted. After over 200 serious blows, Khan's weapon could not reach Lu Bu's skin.
However, he could see a bit of a result.
Blood flowed down from Lu Bu's nostrils!
Lu Bu suffered some damages from the attacks!
Khan burst into laughter, ”HAHAHAHA!! I thought you were invincible. But in reality, you must have reached your limit! Very well, I will extend this time-stop-world indefinitely and torture you to death!”
Khan could summon his souls and activated his [Time Stop] skill again by paying 10 times the activation price.
Since the activation cost of the [Time Stop] was as meager as 100 years of lifespans, Khan stepped back and summoned his four souls.
One of his souls cast the skill while the time remaining in this world was left with 2 seconds.
>
Khan clicked his tongue, ”Bah! Stupid system. Fine. I'll just activate it after the effect worn out.”
Two seconds later, the black-and-white world reverted back to its original, and the time continued to flow.
At that moment
”Time Alter: Triple Accel!”
Lu Bu leaped off his horse and flew to Khan at the speed of sound!
He trusted his halberd forward, and it pierced through Khan's chest!
As the weapon punctured through Khan's ribcages, lungs, and spine, Khan's soul activated the time stopping skill.
The time had paused once more!
Within the colorless world, Khan's body was still pierced by Lu Bu's halberd, but only he could move.
