Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Chapter 438 Hot Potato

"What a great Red Hare among horses, and Lü Bu among men! What a pity, I can't use them in the end." Yuan Shao, the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, sighed softly, and then looked around.

"Everyone, our target is Sishui Pass. We don't need to fight against Lu Bu. We just need to rush into the pass and kill the commander Hua Xiong, and Sishui Pass will fall without a fight!"

"The pass is narrow, and Lu Bu is guarding the middle. How can we get in?" asked Gongsun Zan.

"You can send a few good generals to fight with them, and then we will have the opportunity to take advantage of it," said Sun Jian.

"Unfortunately, my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not accompanying us. So now, who can go up and fight them?" Yuan Shao asked.

Everyone looked at Liu Bei and his three brothers, but they pretended not to know. Lü Bu had already entered a state of ecstasy, and they weren't stupid, so why would they risk their lives to be the first to step out? Whoever wants to go, go!

"I've always heard that General Liu and his three brothers are invincible and brave. Now that we're facing a powerful enemy, do you dare to go up and fight them?"

Seeing that he was named, Liu Bei was not hurried and said casually: "Wait a little longer."

"Wait? It's getting late, what are you waiting for?"

"Of course, we're waiting for General Yuan Shu! We're all exhausted from the recent battle at Sishui Pass, but General Yuan Shu hasn't even shown up yet. If he were to arrive, with fresh troops, it would be easy to defeat Lu Bu!"

Everyone looked at each other, then at Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu was Yuan Shao's brother, and he usually treated him with all kinds of favors. Now, he had the audacity to desert during the battle at Sishui Pass. Let's see how Yuan Shao would react.

"Ahem~ My second brother has something important to attend to...he suddenly fell ill...so he couldn't come in person. But he did appoint his capable subordinates to come and help, and they are the three standing over there." In order to rescue Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao had no choice but to turn his attention to Brook and the other two.

Following Yuan Shao's gaze, everyone looked at Brook, Bayin, and Wenren Muyue.

"Reliable subordinates? Just these three soldiers?" Everyone was stunned.

"They are no ordinary soldiers. According to the messenger sent by my second brother, these three are sorcerers proficient in magic and have personally killed the enemy commander Hu Zhen. Hey! Those three, come forward and answer!"

Brooke overheard the conversation between these generals. Lü Bu was indeed a hot potato, but these guys were so shameless as to dump it into the hands of just three of them. He felt a surge of disdain. Brooke's mind raced, already devising a response.

"My lord. General Yuan Shu did send us to help. He asked us to assist you in killing Hua Xiong and capturing Sishui Pass. So, as long as you generals can hold back Lu Bu and allow the three of us to enter Sishui Pass, we will definitely kill Hua Xiong!" Brook threw away another hot potato.

Yuan Shu only mentioned fighting Hua Xiong. Now asking the three of them to deal with a fully awakened Lu Bu? No way!

Everyone looked at each other again. The problem had come full circle, back to square one.

If they waited any longer, they would have to fight a night battle. If they couldn't capture Sishui Pass today, they would have to wait for the snow to stop and the sky to clear before they could attack the pass again. That would delay them for who knows how many days.

The generals gathered together for a discussion and finally made a decision: everyone should attack together!

No one should try to be lazy, and no one should try to take advantage of small gains.

Of course, Yuan Shao can be excluded. He can stay in the rear, he can't afford to make mistakes. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the coalition army!

But Yuan Shu couldn't let this go unnoticed. Therefore, Hua Xiong within Sishui Pass was handed over to Brook and the other two. If they failed to complete their mission, they would be subject to military law, and Yuan Shu would be held responsible.

This was exactly what Brook wanted. The three of them were still confident in dealing with Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was the main coach, so he should be able to drop some good equipment.

Sun Jian then led his capable generals Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to charge forward, followed by Gongsun Zan, then Liu Bei and his three brothers, and finally Ju Su, Yuan Shao's deputy general.

Lü Bu had been waiting impatiently. Seeing someone rushing up, he was overjoyed and rode his horse to meet him.

Suddenly, the crowd roared with shouts of lances, axes, swords, and fierce fighting. Though formidable, Lü Bu couldn't withstand the overwhelming force, and was ambushed by someone who had no idea who was knocking him off his horse. As he climbed back to his feet, he was assaulted by a barrage of powerful moves, his health plummeting. Furious, Lü Bu unleashed his own powerful move, wielding his Fang Tian Hua Ji in a flurry of blows. The allied generals were instantly overwhelmed, and several were repeatedly sent flying, only to rise again and charge back into the fray. Shouts of "Hehehe" echoed, and then a flash of light appeared, and the two sides fiercely engaged in a fierce battle, using their powerful move, the Lightning Fox, to attack the enemy.

This scene is rare! Yuan Shao was stunned watching from behind. After a long while, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and shouted:

"You three, why don't you seize this opportunity to enter Sishui Pass and kill Hua Xiong!"

But when he turned around, he could not see Brook and the other two. Looking more closely, he saw that they had reached the top of the Sishui Pass wall at some point and were killing the enemy's long-range crossbowmen.

"When did they get through? Hey~ They really did! Are sorcerers that powerful nowadays? Hmm... Next time, I'll have the captain of the base recruit more sorcerers who can cast spells."

Brook and the other two used their teleportation rings to fly to the city wall. These long-range archers, especially those firing giant crossbows, posed a significant threat to the three of them and needed to be dealt with immediately. Once the long-range archers on the city wall were eliminated, the remaining soldiers within the city would essentially pose no threat.

"Muyue, help keep an eye on the battle situation on Lu Bu's side. Bayin and I will go inside the pass to clean up the soldiers. Notify us immediately if the battle situation changes."

"it is good."

Brook and Bayin jumped off the city wall and began to clear out the soldiers, including the captain of the stronghold, but they only avoided Hua Xiong who was riding on horseback.

There’s no need to rush Hua Xiong, we can kill him later.

Soon, news came from Wenren Muyue.

Ju Su was defeated by Lu Bu!

Huang Gai was defeated by Lu Bu!

Cheng Pu was defeated by Lu Bu!

Gongsun Zan was defeated by Lu Bu!

Sun Jian was defeated by Lu Bu!

Only Liu Bei and his two companions were still holding on, but it seemed they could not hold on for long.

Brook and Bayin had already killed all the soldiers inside the pass, leaving Hua Xiong alone. The two flew back to the city wall to check the battle situation outside the city.

Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu!

Zhang Fei was defeated by Lu Bu!

In the end, Guan Yu was also defeated!

Lu Bu only had a quarter of his health left.

"You hold on here. I'll go gather troops and fight again!" Yuan Shao ordered the two centurions, turned around and rode away.

Seeing this, Lü Bu couldn't help but sneer. "Want to run? If you can outrun my Red Hare, I'll take your surname!"

Lu Bu was about to spurr his horse in pursuit when suddenly a cloud of powder fell from the sky, dyeing him green. Then came a flash of lightning and a rain of fire.

Lu Bu suddenly looked back and saw three soldiers from the Allied Forces appear behind him.

Brook and the other two finally took action.

I'm not sure about the awakened Lu Bu with 1200 million health points, but now he only has 300 million health points left. This hot potato has cooled down a lot, so I can give it a try!

Bloodthirsty Paralysis! Brook activated the active paralysis of the paralysis ring.

Lü Bu turned around calmly, showing no signs of being petrified. As expected, when in the Wushuang awakening state, he would not be affected by any abnormal status control.

"I have no interest in trash like you. But since you came here seeking death, then disappear!"

Lü Bu finished speaking, then suddenly spurred his horse forward. His speed was as swift as an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Brook. His Fang Tian Hua Ji swung in an arc, "Disappear!"

Brook had indeed disappeared, but the expected dismemberment did not occur. Instead, he appeared behind Lu Bu and continued his bloodthirsty attack.

Lu Bu was stunned. He ignored the magic attacks from Bayin and Wenren Muyue in front of him and slowly turned his head to look at Brook.

Summon the beast! Summon the moon spirit!

Brook no longer holds back and uses all his skills.

"Summoning monsters? Turns out to be the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Zhang Jue is dead, why don't you follow him?!" Lu Bu turned his horse around and rushed towards Brook again.

The teleport ring's cooldown lasted another second. Qiankun Shenglong Beast moved incredibly quickly, leaving a trail of shadows as it moved. It blocked Brook's path and lunged towards Lu Bu.

The Red Hare was so fast and powerful that any other baby Holy Beast would have been sent flying. However, Brook's Qiankun Shenglong Beast had reached Level 7. Not only did it wear shoulder armor, but its luxuriant white hair fell to its shoulders, revealing its extraordinary majesty, a true leader among Holy Beasts. Although the Qiankun Shenglong Beast was knocked back three steps, it managed to hold its ground, roaring furiously and unleashing a searing fire at Lü Bu, dealing 1300 points of damage.

Lu Bu swung his halberd fiercely, but the Qiankun Holy Dragon Beast only lost 60 points of health.

"What a fire-breathing beast! But the damage is too low, nothing special!"

"So much nonsense! Why don't we talk after we win the fight?"

Brook sneered as he attacked continuously. Yue Ling, who was in the distance, attacked even faster, occasionally dealing 2600 double damage.

This little soldier actually dared to talk back! Lu Bu laughed in anger, turned his horse's head, and rode around the Qiankun Holy Dragon Beast, charging at Brook for the third time.

With a whoosh, Brook disappeared again and flew back behind Lu Bu, to the side of Bayin and Wenren Muyue.

"It can move? That's a really great skill. Too bad it can only be used for escaping."

Lu Bu turned around again and looked coldly at Brook and the other two.

"Running away and hiding are useless. Only a strong attacking force can make people surrender!" Lu Bu still had the leisure to preach.

Lightning, fire rain, and talismans rained down on him one after another. Each bolt of lightning and fire rain could deal over 7000 damage; and the talisman cast by the man who had just argued with him could steadily deal 1 damage. Remember, he was currently in an awakened state, so the damage he took was halved. The attack power of these three was actually quite good, even better than those of the generals just now.

In just 30 seconds, these three people had already taken away over 70 HP. But so what?

Lü Bu took his time, slowly pulling out a bottle of Hua Tuo ointment and holding it high. He wanted the other party to see clearly, to make him despair!

Lu Bu laughed and drank the Hua Tuo ointment in one gulp.

The blood volume remained unchanged, showing no reaction! No, it was still slowly decreasing.

Lu Bu was stunned at first, then he realized instantly: it was the poison powder he had just sprinkled! It could actually limit the effects of Hua Tuo's ointment. What a powerful poison!

Lu Bu put away his smile and looked solemn. These three soldiers should not be underestimated. They are indeed quite capable!

But it doesn't matter. Just get him close and a combo of moves will take them out.

Lü Bu's eyes flashed, and his expression grew serious. He swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji forward, and his Red Hare charged out like a bolt of lightning!

There are only 200 million health points left!
