Chapter 17: Three Heroes vs. Lu
"Uncle!" Zhang Lu couldn't help but shout out as he looked at Zhang Zaichun in front of him.

I saw that half of the man's arm was black, his hair was unkempt and his face was dirty, without any trace of the demeanor of a powerful minister of Great Xia.

"It's okay, just some minor injuries." Zhang Zaichun waved his hands and couldn't help but kneel down and spit out a mouthful of black blood. Obviously, the injury was not as minor as he said.

Zhang Lu quickly knelt down, wiped the blood from the corner of Zhang Zaichun's mouth with his robe, and helped him sit down.

After a while, Zhang Zaichun calmed down and said, "Everyone in the mansion has died. Even I have lost half my life. As the saying goes, disaster does not affect family members. Dong Zhongda did not follow the rules this time. He is dead."

Zhang Lu was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of his father and aunt. His eyes instantly turned red, and a few strands of blood crawled into his pupils.

"Tell me, what is the current situation?" Zhang Zaichun asked again.

Zhang Lu suppressed his grief and told his story one by one.

Zhang Zaichun's fingers trembled when he heard that Chen Du was dead. After hearing what happened in the big tent, he thought for a long time, sighed, and said, "I have many students and former officials in my life, occupying most of the court. If it was a prosperous era, a few pens could kill these generals, but now it is a chaotic era. Chen Du was the most capable fighter under me, but he died so miserably."

"Most of the people in that tent are laughing at you. I was wrong. I shouldn't have expected you to suppress these powerful dragons. I believe that when the news of my Zhang family's annihilation comes, you will have a life-saving talisman. When everything is over, you can become a rich man and live a stable life." Zhang Zaichun said carefully to Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu was filled with grief and indignation. Thinking of the missing faces and the fact that his grand ambitions had come to nothing, he knelt at Zhang Zaichun's feet and cried for a long time.

the next day.

Zhang Lu walked into the meeting room with red eyes and sword in hand.

Everyone received the news, so it was no surprise to see him wearing a white belt around his waist.

Zhang Lu stood in the center and shouted, "I'm sure you all already know about the evil deeds of Dong the thief. I don't need to say more. I have lived for more than 20 years in vain. I have great ambitions but little talent. I am stubborn and self-righteous. I mostly look down on you. After this battle, I will let you be chopped to pieces by the sword for all your disrespects before."

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Zhang Luyou drew his sword and said, "The thief Dong wiped out my entire Zhang family. This is a family feud. He invaded the royal family's foundation. This is a national hatred. The national hatred comes first, and the family feud comes second. I swear to fight the thief Dong to the death. Today, I issue a military order. All your food and grass must be deployed according to fair regulations. If there are any omissions, it will be the same as this table!"

As he said this, Zhang Lu smashed the dining table hard, breaking it into two halves.

"If I betray you in this battle, or do anything unfair, please chop off my head!"

After saying this, Zhang Lu bowed deeply and said, "I only hope that you can help me to flatten Hulao and kill the thief Dong!"

Everyone looked at each other, Cao Man stood up and said, "Follow the leader's order!"

"Follow the order of the alliance leader!"

Seeing Zhang Lu, with red eyes, begin to arrange the march and food supplies, and show some of the demeanor of a leader, Li Shiqiong sighed: "It seems that he is going to come up with something real."

"Hatred really does make people grow." Gu Qingyuan nodded.

Dafeng Pass.

Cao Man was fighting with Guo Chi when a heavenly sword danced so fiercely that no one could penetrate it, and another person rushed out from the pass.

"Don't be afraid, Brother Guo, Zhang Qi is here."

It turned out that Guo Chi had brought Zhang Qi along when he came to Dafeng Pass.

Seeing two people besieging Cao Man, a man rushed out from the coalition formation.

"Sun Juhu is here to learn from the general's skills!" It was the little tyrant of Jiangdong, Sun Juhu.

A tiger-roaring knife went straight to the enemy general's head.

With the arrival of two masters, the coalition forces quickly arrived at Hulao Pass.

I saw flags waving at the pass and a man standing on the top of the pass.

The man wore a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, a Xichuan red brocade robe with flowers on it, and a beast-faced chain mail. He had a lion-shaped belt around his waist, and carried a bow and arrow. He held a Overlord Halberd in his hand and rode a red devil horse. Behind him, the blood-red cloak rustled loudly. It was none other than the number one in the world, Lu Xianzhi.

"What a strong momentum!" said Li Shiqiong who came to watch the game.

"He fought his way to become the best in the world, but I think his momentum is not enough." Sun Juhu replied.

Also coming to watch the battle were Cao Man, Gu Qingyuan and others.

Zhang Lu was in charge of the coordination. Zhang Li changed his route after taking Dafeng Pass due to the unusual movements of the barbarians. The only four remaining forces in the coalition were capable of any capability.

The gate of Hulao City was wide open, and Lu Xianzhi rode out on horseback holding a halberd.

Sure enough, when Gu Qingyuan took a look at the face, it was the burly man he had fought with before.

"Enemy general, come and be killed!" The voices spread out.

Li Shiqiong turned around and said, "Come on, who among us will go first?"

Before he could finish his words, a figure jumped out from behind him, leaped up, and slammed heavily onto the battlefield.

He had a pointed mouth, sunken cheeks, and a thin body, but he held two ridiculously large hammers in his hands.

It was Li Xuanba.

"Brother, why didn't you go up directly without riding a horse?" Gu Qingyuan pointed at Li Xuanba who was preparing to fight against cavalry on foot and asked Li Shiqiong.

"My brother's Leiguwengjinchui is too heavy, and ordinary horses can't carry it." Li Shiqiong said.

"Come to think of it, Lu Xianzhi's horse seems to be innate!" Gu Qingyuan discovered another bright spot.

"I guess Lu Xianzhi nurtured the horse day and night, using his true qi to gradually open up the horse's meridians. It's really luxurious!" Sun Juhu said with some envy in his tone.

"That's right. Ordinary horses would lie down when they sense Lu Xianzhi's aura." Gu Qingyuan agreed.

They started chatting here and fighting over there.

Li Xuanba raised his hammer and flew down, and when the hammer and halberd collided, Lu Xianzhi felt his palm go numb and thought to himself that he had great strength.

Seeing another hammer coming, Lu Xianzhi transformed his other hand into a short spear to block the giant hammer.

As soon as Li Xuanba touched the short halberd, he felt that the force was wrong. The short halberd, which seemed to be powerful and heavy, lightly swept across the giant hammer. When Li Xuanba's strength was exhausted, he used the Overlord Halberd to lift it, and the Golden Hammer was knocked away by Lu Xianzhi's halberd.

"You only have brute force but no skills." Lu Xianzhi said coldly while sitting on his horse.

Li Xuanba turned a deaf ear to the attack, rolled over to pick up the hammer, and smashed it on the ground, using the force to spin his body in the air. Lu Xianzhi squeezed the horse's belly, and the Red Demon Horse ran dozens of meters away. The hammer smashed the ground so hard that the ground seemed to shake.

When Li Xuanba stood up, he saw Lu Xianzhi looking at him as if he were a fool not far away.

Unable to suppress his anger, Li Xuanba roared and the sledgehammer flew out of his hand and flew straight towards the horse's leg.

When Lu Xianzhi saw this, anger flashed through his heart. He stretched out his hand and swung the golden-red Qi short spear towards the golden hammer.

There was a loud bang, smoke and dust swirled, and Lu Xianzhi emerged from the smoke. The sound of horse hooves was rapid, and the Overlord Halberd flashed with a cold light, heading straight for Li Xuanba!

"No, I'll go first. You guys come quickly. I can't hold on for much longer." Li Shiqiong spurred his horse and rushed forward.

"Stop hurting my brother!"

As the sound came, a blood-colored spear transformed by true energy rushed straight to Lu Xianzhi's face. Lu Xianzhi clamped the more than ten feet long blood spear with two fingers, and with a little force, the spear body broke into two sections and dissipated in the air.

A long spear then appeared, and in a blink of an eye it collided with the Overlord Halberd for dozens of rounds.

"Finally, someone decent has arrived." Lu Xianzhi said, staring at Li Shiqiong.

"The Lord of Tiance Palace, Li Shiqiong, is here to accept the challenge." Li Shiqiong did not dare to be negligent and stared at Lu Xianzhi. Let me see the gap between me and the best in the world.

Lu Xianzhi didn't care about that and just chopped down with his halberd.

It was heavy, very heavy, without any fancy moves. Li Shiqiong only felt an irresistible force coming from the halberd that was blocking in front of him, and the Blood-Crying Spear was almost about to slip out of his hand.

"How... so strong!" Li Shiqiong squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

Hahahaha
With a long laugh, Lu Xianzhi smashed down with three halberds, causing Li Shiqiong to spit out a mouthful of blood in his chest.

It seems that I have to fight desperately, Li Shiqiong said in his heart.

Suddenly, the momentum surged, blood-colored true energy filled the battlefield, the red body of the Blood-Crying Spear emitted bloody light, and with one shot, it hit the halberd directly. The crisp impact sound made the surrounding soldiers dizzy.

A ball of blood mist enveloped Li Shiqiong, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. The spear in his hand turned into thousands and flew towards Lu Xianzhi.

The golden-red color covered the Overlord Halberd, as if a golden-red flame was burning. Lu Xianzhi waved his hand, and the huge, solid golden light blade shattered the Blood Spear with ease.

Lu Xianzhi rushed towards Li Shiqiong and launched a torrential rain of attacks on Li Shiqiong.

Li Shiqiong became more and more embarrassed and was suppressed by Lu Xianzhi. Looking at Li Shiqiong's miserable appearance, Lu Xianzhi secretly said that it was boring.

The tip of the halberd was raised diagonally, leaving a hole in Li Shiqiong's armor on his chest, and blood slowly flowed out. The halberd turned around and headed for Li Shiqiong's neck, intending to decapitate him with one blow.

At this critical moment, a golden knife with a tiger head flew over, and the blade made a faint whistling sound, like the roar of an animal.

This

The Overlord's Halberd was knocked off balance by the golden sword, and the golden sword flew into the hands of a man, who was none other than Sun Juhu, the Little Overlord of Jiangdong.

At the same time, a figure holding a long sword joined the battlefield. It was Cao Man holding the Heavenly Sword.

"Sun Juhu from Jiangdong is here to learn from you."

"Cao Man has come to learn from the divine general's tactics."

"What other rats are there? Just attack them all at once." Lu Xianzhi didn't care.

Not far away, there are seats for watching the game.

The usually gentle Zhao Dingshan had a serious look on his face. Guan Sheng had already opened his almond-shaped eyes and was stroking his long beard with his hands, but Zhang Chonghu could no longer hold back.

"Brother Gu, let me take over for you this time." Seeing Gu Qingyuan nod, Zhang Chonghu smiled at Zhao Dingshan and rode out to fight.

"Zhang Chonghu is here!" His voice was as loud as thunder.

Li, Sun, Cao, and Zhang formed a square formation and surrounded Lu Xianzhi, but there was no joy on their faces.

This is Lu Xianzhi, a person who is used to being besieged by everyone, a strong man who even he himself thinks it is normal to be besieged.

The Overlord Halberd whistled, and it turned out that it was Lu Xianzhi who attacked first and went straight towards Li Shiqiong.

Seeing that Lv Xianzhi completely ignored the other three, the three of them whispered: Good opportunity! The three magic weapons smashed towards Lv Xianzhi's unprotected back.

A huge momentum suddenly burst out. Strands of blood-red gold threads spread from Lu Xianzhi's back and flowed through his body, like a set of golden-red armor. He was emitting golden light, and the blood-red cloak behind him moved without wind. He looked like a god, a ghost, a madman, or a god descending to earth!

The golden-red aura blew the four men back. Lu Xianzhi held the Overlord Halberd in his right hand and a golden short halberd in his left hand, one long and one short. After only three or five rounds, he easily eliminated the already injured Li Shiqiong, leaving him with only the energy to watch the battle.

"Long and short halberds. The long halberd is fierce, and the short halberd is dangerous. It is somewhat like a jagged sword." Gu Qingyuan said to Zhao Dingshan beside him while looking at the battlefield.

"Not only that, I feel there are also fast and slow knife techniques." Zhao Dingshan looked heavy.

Sure enough, Lu Xianzhi struck down with such force and power that Cao Man, who had witnessed how Li Xuanba was defeated before, did not dare to be negligent and held back his strength.

A halberd chopped down, and the Heavenly Sword was about to move away, but at this time the long halberd flashed a glow, and it seemed that it was about to split Cao Man in half.

The Heavenly Sword split into countless sword lights, which tightly entangled the long spear. At this time, the short spear went straight for Cao Man's ribs, but was blocked by the Tiger Roaring Knife.

The steel snake spear in Zhang Chonghu's hand danced into a black dragon. A simple straight thrust was powerful enough to kill an ordinary person who was hit by it.

But his opponent was Lu Xianzhi. The golden-red true energy transformed into a halberd. The ten-meter-long halberd blade pressed against the black dragon. The golden-red and black colors crushed each other. Finally, the golden-red color shone brightly, and the halberd pressed down, rumbling and smashing out a deep ravine.

"Hahaha, he really deserves to be the best in the world. Everyone, it looks like it's going to be a life-threatening battle!" said Sun Juhu.

He held a golden knife in his hand, with lightning flashing on the blade. The originally clear sky was then filled with dark clouds and thunder rumbled.

Cao Man held up the Heavenly Sword and wiped the sword with his hand. The Heavenly Sword emitted a golden light. A golden dragon emerged from Cao Man's body and turned into the sword body. Countless golden lights formed the sword blade. A brilliant and majestic golden sword fell from the sky.

Zhang Chonghu, who had just recovered, roared, black air swirled, and a vicious tiger jumped out from behind him.

Dong dong dong

At the critical moment, the sound of war drums rang out from the top of Hulao City.

I saw a graceful woman beating drums to cheer, the rapid drum beats resounded through the sky, she said nothing, but it seemed as if she said everything.

"Hahahaha, let's fight!" Lu Xianzhi roared with wild laughter, his hair and beard flying with his laughter. A golden wolf jumped out from behind Lu Xianzhi and pounced on him.

Then Lu Xianzhi's arrogance soared, and the phoenix wings on the purple gold crown seemed to break through the sky, and his cloak fluttered. The already burly figure swelled a little more, and the golden true qi covering his body like armor outlined various shapes, with clear armor plates, and a wolf head embedded in his chest. It actually turned into a golden flying wolf true qi armor.

"It's the third stage, it's entering a frenzy." Gu Qingyuan muttered to himself.

"Such a delicate manipulation of true Qi..." Guan Sheng said halfway and then stopped talking.

In the blink of an eye, a huge golden sword flew down from the sky. Lu Xianzhi met it with his halberd. The indestructible golden sword hit the halberd and broke into pieces instantly.

A figure covered in lightning, with his hair and beard standing upright, came flying at an extremely fast speed. Then there was a rumbling sound of thunder, a flash of white light, and a short spear pierced the golden knife, knocking Sun Juhu onto the breathless Cao Man.

Lu Xianzhi's blood-red true energy burst out, and he stood in the air, staring down at Zhang Chonghu.

"We've been fighting for so long, come and take Lu's move!"

Just as he finished speaking, a huge ray of light broke through the sky, causing the thunderclouds to roll. It pierced through the thunderclouds, flew to a very high point, and suddenly exploded silently, with countless golden lines falling rapidly from the self-destruction points.

Looking more closely, those golden lines turned out to be golden halberds. Lu Xianzhi opened his arms and looked up at the sky. Countless rays of light passed by him and smashed heavily towards the three people on the ground.

"will die!"

The same thought flashed through the minds of the three people. They tried their best to hold up their true Qi. The black, gold and white true Qi shields were in danger under the rain of spears!
