Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1164: Lu Xun's Danger

Zhu Ye and the other two soon reunited with Qin Lie and others who were hiding in the corner.

"Hey, if time wasn't so tight, I would really like to kill him a few times in this fucking palace."

Zhu Ye hadn't been to the battlefield for a long time and seemed a little excited at this moment.

Liu Xie was terrified: "General Zhu's power is known to everyone in the world, so you and I should... leave quickly."

Zhu Ye naturally knew the priorities, but he was still a little disappointed.

"Next time I will lead my Thunder God Cavalry to meet Sun Ce. Let's go."

As he spoke, he led the way and ran towards the small door.

However, just when they arrived in front of the small door, before they could reach out to open it, they heard a shout of "Release", which caused Zhu Ye and others to instinctively turn around and raise their double hammers to block.

Hundreds of feather arrows flew at the same time. Fortunately, these imperial guards were not proficient in martial arts, and their archery skills were naturally average. No matter the power or accuracy of these feather arrows, they were far from comparable to those of the Shenji Battalion under Ye Xiang, and they were easily blocked.

However, although the wave of arrow attacks did not cause any damage to Zhu Ye and others, it did delay their plan to escape from the palace.

"Put it back!"

Lu Xun gave the order again, and the more than 200 imperial guards were divided into two groups, each with about 100 people, and took turns shooting arrows.

At this time, the second wave of arrows flew over. Zhu Ye hurriedly asked Liu Xie and others to hide aside, while he took the two people before him, resisting the arrows while advancing quickly forward.

"You dare to plot against me? If I don't beat you into a meat pie today, I will write my name upside down!"

Zhu Ye simply held a pair of sledgehammers in front of him like a shield to protect his vital parts, then lowered his head and rushed forward regardless of everything.

Those arrows of average power hit the hammers, making a series of metal collision sounds, but they were unable to shake the two hammers at all.

Lu Xun understood his intention at a glance and immediately ordered: "You fifty people, throw away your bows and arrows, use spears to form a formation, and make sure to stop the enemy."

Under his personal command, in just a dozen breaths, the fifty imperial guards around him lined up in two rows, with the tails of their spears against the ground behind them, and the sharp tips of the spears slanted towards the front, like chevaux de frise.

"Hehe, I told you to rush forward with your head down and not see what's ahead. By the time you react, it will be too late to respond."

Lu Xun felt a little bit of ridicule in his heart, thinking that Zhu Ye, who thought he was famous all over the world, was no more than this.

However, when Zhu Ye was only a dozen steps away from the spear formation, the other two Thundergod Knights not far behind him suddenly shouted.

"Jump!"

Before Lu Xun understood what this meant, he suddenly saw Zhu Ye take three steps forward, then leap high, waving his two hammers, and jump towards the center of the spear formation.

Lu Xun was so shocked by this scene that he was speechless for a moment. He only came to his senses when Zhu Ye fell into the middle of the fifty spearmen and started killing them all.

"Still... can we still fight like this?"

Ding Feng, who was resting not far away, saw this scene and lamented: "Alas, this kid from the Lu family has read a lot of military tactics, but after all, he is young and has just started fighting. How can he be a match for Zhu Ye, a world-famous general?"

Zhu Ye's martial arts are almost unmatched in the world, and his double hammers, compared to Guan Yu and his brothers, are the most suitable for fighting in a large army. These mere fifty soldiers cannot withstand the attack of his hammers.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen bloody corpses appeared. The morale of the remaining soldiers, which had been finally boosted by Lu Xun, fell to the bottom again. They didn't even care about their own commander and fled in all directions.

Zhu Ye was very excited, staring at Lu Xun with his eyes fixed: "Haha, boy, take my hammer!"

Lu Xun was a little dazed at this time. Although he had heard about the heroic deeds of Zhu Ye, Guan Yu and other brave generals on the battlefield before, he was well aware that rumors would inevitably exaggerate the facts, so he was skeptical. Secondly, in order to consolidate his own rule, Sun Ce often spoke disparagingly of these northern generals, so Lu Xun did not take them seriously in his heart.

However, the performance of Zhu Ye and the few Thundergod Knights he brought with him had greatly exceeded his expectations. Only now did he begin to believe that what he had heard from the wounded soldiers in the past, in their horror descriptions of how the Thundergod Cavalry could defeat a hundred enemies alone, was not false.

But at the moment he was immersed in fear and did not notice that Zhu Ye had already appeared before him.

Ding Feng was very anxious when he saw this: "Bo Yan, run!"

"Haha, you stupid boy, come and get your death!" Zhu Ye was only five or six steps away from Lu Xun. He raised his two hammers high, ready to take two more steps and then smash them down. By then, he would surely beat the young general into a meat pie.

"Hey~"

A sound made Zhu Ye instinctively alert. Just by listening to the sound, he judged that the flying object should be obviously much larger than a feather arrow.

He temporarily gave up attacking Lu Xun, and the hammer in his hand suddenly changed direction and hit the flying object.

"Ding!"

After the sound of metal collision, a black shadow turned several circles in the air. When it was about to land, a figure suddenly jumped out from the rockery behind Lu Xun and caught the black shadow.

Zhu Ye looked carefully and saw that it was a middle-aged strong man holding a black spear in his hand, looking quite majestic.

Lu Xun had also come back to his senses at this moment, and thinking of the critical situation just now, his face turned pale.

He hurried to the strong man and saluted: "Thank you, General Zhu, for your help."

The sturdy man glanced at him and said, "It's not easy for a young man to hold off the opponent for nearly half an hour in his first fight. The lord once praised you as a young hero of Jiangdong. You should watch carefully from the side. Maybe you can find out Zhu Ye's shortcomings so that you can help the lord in the future."

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Xun to reply, he thrust the spear in his hand and charged towards Zhu Ye.

Zhu Ye's previous attack was interrupted by him, and he was angry and full of anger, and was about to vent it.

"Come on, I'll cripple you first, and then kill that little thief."

The opponent seemed to have learned from Xu Sheng's previous lesson and did not engage in a head-on confrontation with Zhu Ye. His spear was like a swimming dragon, bypassing his double hammers and moving around his body, trying to stab his vital points.

However, Zhu Ye's martial arts had already reached the pinnacle, so how could he be stabbed so easily by the opponent? After the two sides fought for seven or eight rounds, Zhu Ye had already seen through his gun moves.

"Hehe, that's all. Your spear skills are far inferior to Zilong and Mengqi's. Watch out!"

He used his left hand to block the opponent's spear tip that was stabbing at his crotch, and swung the hammer with his right hand. There was a "click" sound, and the spear shaft broke.

The huge recoil force shook the remaining half of the gun barrel out of the sturdy man's hand and tore his hands apart instantly.

But the sturdy man didn't care about the severe pain. He kicked the gun tip that was about to fly out towards Zhu Ye.

"Hey, you have some skills."

Zhu Ye praised casually, then swung his sledgehammer, knocking the gun tip away.

"Not bad, not bad. You are quite good at martial arts, and you are worthy of being surnamed Zhu. Tell me your name, or you will defile my hammer."

The sturdy man took several steps back, his hands shaking violently, his heart filled with horror, but on his face he pretended nothing had happened.

"I am Zhu Zhi from Danyang."

Zhu Ye searched his mind for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh, I know, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Junli. My elder brother once mentioned to me that there are only a few outstanding people in Wujun, Danyang, and Kuaiji, and you are one of them. You really have some ability."

Zhu Zhi remained calm and said, "I am ashamed to receive such praise from you and General Liu."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ye flew into a rage: "How dare you! My eldest brother is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. How dare you call him General Liu? You are courting death!"

As soon as the word "death" was uttered, the black shadow wielding two hammers had already appeared in front of Zhu Zhi.

"What a fast speed!" Zhu Zhi was shocked and quickly stepped back.

Unexpectedly, the two hammers suddenly changed direction, abandoned Zhu Zhi, and hit Lu Xun who was watching the battle a few steps away.

"Not good!" Zhu Zhi then understood Zhu Ye's intention. He quickly drew the sword from his waist and flew forward to rescue him.
