Despite Guan Yu inwardly cursing Zhang Fei for being thoughtless, he was acting out of concern for his brother. And when Lyu Bu aimed to kill Zhang Fei, Guan Yu would certainly not stand aside simply because his younger brother had misspoken. Moreover, in Guan Yu’s eyes, Zhang Fei had not spoken wrongly at all.
As Guan Yu blocked Lyu Bu’s attack with his sword, Claw Yellow Flying Lightning beneath him let out a mournful whinny. A normal prized steed would have surely been shaken to death by such a blow, but Lyu Bu, completely incensed by Zhang Fei’s repeated verbal jabs of "Three-Family Slave," held nothing back in his strike. Guan Yu felt a violent vibration in his chest, fearing the disparity was even greater than it had been at their previous encounter at Hulao Pass!
Lyu Bu glanced at Guan Yu, then at Claw Yellow Flying Lightning, his eyes icy cold. In that moment, he understood, even if he was willing to surrender to Liu Bei, it didn’t mean Liu Bei was willing to accept him. To a certain extent, Zhang Fei’s attitude represented that of Liu Bei, and how could Lyu Bu endure such humiliation!
"Guan Yunchang?" Lyu Bu looked at Guan Yu with a sneer, "You think you can stop me?"
"How can we know without trying?" Guan Yu felt the pressure when Lyu Bu looked his way, but he showed no fear. His body gleamed with an Azure Dragon light as the Green Dragon Crescent Blade resounded with the low growl of the Azure Dragon.
"I’ll kill you within fifty moves." The moment Lyu Bu swung his halberd, he roared. Guan Yu’s eyes, slightly opened, flashed with a cold glint. When had anyone ever dared to speak to him like that?
"Then come!" With a slash, Guan Yu chopped directly at the blade of Lyu Bu’s halberd. The leveraged Lyu Bu, with nowhere to borrow force from the void, was sent reeling back a great distance. Guan Yu’s radiance intensified, and with another sword strike, stronger than before, he sent Lyu Bu flying dozens of meters away. Without waiting for Lyu Bu to recover, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade sliced across the sky, appearing in front of Lyu Bu, its sharp edge nearly tearing through the golden light on his body.
"Is that all you’ve got?" Lyu Bu watched the approaching Green Dragon Crescent Blade with undisturbed composure; there was no warrior in the world he feared, and out of nowhere, the Red Hare Horse appeared beneath him.
"Boom!" The next moment, dust flew up as Lyu Bu took Guan Yu’s three strongest strikes head-on, not taking a single step back, while Guan Yunchang, on the other hand, stumbled back several steps.
Red Hare snorted, its eyes showing a hint of human-like disdain as it looked at Claw Yellow Flying Lightning. The reputation of ’Human Lyu Bu, Horse Red Hare’ wasn’t acquired by boasting, but by proving it in battle!
"Lyu Bu, look out for the sword!" After intercepting with his Serpent Spear, Xu Chu saw Guan Yu’s strongest blow forced back and instantly cast aside any doubt; Lyu Bu was truly a monster!
"Another Inner Qi Separation!" Lyu Bu sneered and declared, "Today, I’ll take all your heads!"
He swung his halberd towards Xu Chu, having noticed that Xu Chu’s speed was a weakness.
"Hmph! Die, Lyu Bu!" Xu Chu bellowed as his entire body suddenly soared upwards. The halberd blade that was meant for his neck now aimed for his chest. What made Xu Chu most fearsome wasn’t just his Inner Qi Separation but his utter disregard for his life in return for the enemy’s, and his adipose tissue, hardened through special training, had no issue diminishing his foe’s attacks!
The blade of Lyu Bu’s halberd did not retract before Xu Chu’s chest, but the next moment, to the shock of everyone, Xu Chu’s fatty flesh caved in dramatically, evading the blade, while the Great Sword struck with tremendous force towards Lyu Bu.
