Chapter 476 - Zuo Ci’s Interference (1/2)
Chapter 476 – Zuo Ci's Interference
”Dong Zhuo?” Guan Yu muttered in confusion.
Tong frowned and spat, ”Are you hallucinating or what?”
Unlike the last time, Guan Yu's body was bloody. Even after he had awakened a new soul, his wounds did not recover. Instead, Tong could see that his wings had cracked lines, signifying that Guan Yu's souls were damaged.
”You have lost, Guan Yuncheng. The moment you forced awaken your soul, you no longer in a condition to fight.”
Guan Yu roared, ”I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM A TYRANT!! DIE!!”
The god of war attempted to fly toward Tong and kill him with brute force.
Before Guan Yu could reach Tong, bright light stunned both Tong and Guan Yu. Even when Guan Yu and Tong attempted to enhance their eyesight or sixth-sense to detect their opponent, they could not break through this curtain of light.
Another entity appeared before both duelists.
Zuo Ci spread his 8 wings and placed his palm on top of Guan Yu's head.
”Sleep, child.”
The oppressing aura from Guan Yu dispersed as if they evaporated into nothingness. Guan Yu's wings retracted into his body while the consciousness of this general fell into slumber.
The old sage carried the unconscious war god on his shoulder while he glanced at the spectators and Tong.
”Please excuse us. All immortals with eight wings are necessary to this dimension at the moment. I can't allow both of you to kill each other.”
Before Tong could say anything, Zuo Ci activated his system dimension authority and teleported away, leaving the confused crowd.
Tong, Diaochan, Dong Bai, and other generals were looking lost, glancing at each other.
”It's over?”
”That's it?”
Lu Bu groaned, ”Disappointing! Hey Tong, give me back my weapon, and let's spar!”
Tong yelled back as he threw Lu Bu's crescent halberd at the owner, ”Piss off! I just broke through, and I just fought a life-and-death battle! No sparring today!”
*PA*
Lu Bu caught his weapon and laughed, ”I don't give a fuck! You have 7 wings, but I have 6, so you will have to give me some handicaps! Prepare yourself!”

In the end, Diaochan and Dong Bai carried Tong's exhausted body home after he was beaten by Lu Bu. As for the latter, the brute activated his regen skill to heal all of his injuries, caused by Tong's combination of [Time Stop] and his raw demonic power.
Lu Bu lost the sparring match, but he managed to land a few punches to Tong's face, using his own derived version of Square Accel, which satisfied this war god nonetheless.
He did not know why. Every time Lu Bu heard of Tong's name, he got irritated and wanted to beat him to a pulp. Even though Tong and Lu Bu were no longer seeing each other as a foe, both men could not hang around together peacefully for more than a day.
As for the other generals, they helped the local garrison force rebuild the city before they returned to their post.
Cao Cao lamented in disappointment since the result of this duel did not satisfy him. He wanted to see a bloody battle. He wanted to see the fall of Liu Bei, and he wanted to see Tong get himself killed.
In other words, Cao Cao still wanted to see the world burn, so he could benefit from the chaos.
As for Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, they were relieved that both participants ended up in a draw.
Taishi Ci and others did not say or react to the result. Since Zuo Ci hinted that 8-wing immortals were important to the realm, they got inspired to work harder, hoping to reach Guan Yu's level one day.
.
The news of the battle result spread among Tong's clansmen and Cao Cao's subordinates.
As Guan Yu's threat was gone, many generals and strategists voiced their opinion that they should kill Liu Bei now.
Xun Yu: ”Let's get rid of Liu Bei's forces now, your majesty. We should return the favor and deploy our immortals to assassinate Liu Bei and his generals, so we can end this civil war for good.”
Ju Shou: ”I agree. After Liu Bei's death, we can publicly announce that Cao Cao is our ally. Then, Sun Ce and Sun Fang will have no choice but surrender to us!”
Jia Xu: ”I suggest we abduct Liu Bei in secret and kill him without letting their generals know that he's dead. Afterward, their men will begin fighting among themselves. That way, we can destroy his reputation and brainwashing effects.”
Zhao Yun: ”I agree with the abducting option, but we should inform him about Guan Yu's status. If he learns that the reincarnation system exists and Zhang Fei can be reincarnated, we can still reconcile with Liu Bei and bring him to our side.”
Sima Yi: ”@Zhao Yun, Not possible. Why do we have to waste our time converting him when we can kill him and unify the country before the end of this year?”
Zhao Yun: ”That's true, but shouldn't we try a peaceful method first before we choose the last option?”
Sima Yi: ”I'd love to if Liu Bei were not an obnoxious power-hungry son of a bitch. Right now, I'm not certain that Guan Yu will abuse the heaven's authority or come back to bite at us in the future. If Liu Bei learns that Guan Yu has become a god, that bastard will definitely extort tributes from us by using the god's existence as an excuse!”
Zhao Yun could not retort since he knew what Liu Bei's personality was. He would definitely act as Sima Yi had predicted.
