CHAPTER 1775: CHAPTER 1776: ONE MAN, ONE STEED, ONE BLOOD-RED ARROW

At this moment, Lü Bu’s entire burly body was slumped over the horse’s back, his left hand drooping, and although his right hand was holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji, the blade was dragging across the earth, appearing very weak.

Upon hearing the sound of hoofbeats, Lü Bu glanced back and unexpectedly found the first pursuer to be you, an eccentric little soldier.

The reason for calling you eccentric was because Lü Bu had never seen anyone with such divine power. Some might say that Lü Bu also possessed God’s Power and was much stronger than you. In reality, Lü Bu’s God’s Power was true, but it was only slightly above the average person, whereas you were different. Lü Bu could see that your moves were simple, each attack was purely based on energy, and there was no use of any martial art, nor could he sense the slightest fluctuation of True Qi.

But Lü Bu was different; what he demonstrated was super divine power, enhanced by the sect master’s absolute skills on top of his innate divine strength, which would multiply one’s energy several times over. Lü Bu believed that if this somewhat frail-looking man could learn powerful martial arts, he would be no less than himself!

Lü Bu had never met such a person in his life. He had heard from his master that once encountering such a person, if one could not subdue them, then they must be killed in the bud. Such a person must not be allowed to grow, for once grown, they would become the enemy of the world!

Seeing you gradually approaching on horseback, Lü Bu utters from behind the ghost head mask, his voice heavy yet somewhat weak: "Is it you?"

You halt your horse at a position ten meters away from Lü Bu, not moving forward.

Looking at the ailing Lü Bu, you sigh and say: "To be honest, you’re too weak now. Although I’m not a gentleman, I disdain taking action against you at this moment."

Lü Bu raises his head again, looking at you with some surprise: "There are more people in the world who want to take my head than can be counted. Why do your hands falter?"

"Hands falter?" You wipe the rain off your face and laugh loudly, "I, Li Muyun, kill one person every ten steps, and do not stay the journey for a thousand miles! When have I ever faltered? It’s just that you’re too weak now. Someday we shall have a proper contest!"

With that, you salute Lü Bu with a fist and ride away.

Yet, you had barely ridden away when the sound of fighting comes from behind. Amidst the storm, the clash of weapons is particularly piercing, and the soldiers’ cheers make you immediately turn the horse around, charging towards Lü Bu!

Among Three Kingdoms characters, there are few people you admire, and Lü Bu is one of them!

Such a man acts with courage, aroused in anger for beauties, coloring the rivers and mountains with blood! He is the form you long for; in your view, Lü Bu could only die by your sword!

In the mist of rain, you see Lü Bu standing alone, wielding Fang Tian Hua Ji at the edge of a cliff, while the Red Hare Horse is besieged by more than ten soldiers!

"Is it going to end just like this?" Lü Bu only feels his body growing colder and colder. At this moment, scenes from his youth flash naturally in his mind; for revenge, for reviving the great cause, he endured hardships for more than ten years, experiencing mortal miseries. But in the end, he never thought he would be pushed to such a desperate situation here.

"Ah, enough, all these years, I’ve been so tired, so weary, never wanting to return to that painful past again." At this time, a voice even appears in Lü Bu’s mind.

Just as Lü Bu is about to leap off the cliff, a familiar man’s shout suddenly rings from afar: "Who dares touch Lü Bu, first ask about the knife in my hand!"

Among the crowd, you see a man riding like a red blood arrow, swiftly piercing through, unable to be stopped!

This sound in his ears causes Lü Bu to have a slight illusion, as if hearing his father’s majestic yet intensely caring voice from childhood.

"This feels so good..."

As Lü Bu says this, he feels the sky spinning and his right hand finally releases Fang Tian Hua Ji, his entire person falling backward.

"Oh damn! You mustn’t fall!"

Almost reflexively, you leap off your horse, appearing swiftly in Lü Bu’s gradually closing eyes.

Your hand timely grabs Lü Bu’s cold armored right hand, but in the moment of gripping Lü Bu, your body suddenly sinks; you never expected Lü Bu’s body to be so heavy, and with a slip of your foot, you tumble off the cliff along with Lü Bu, into the turbulent river below!

The two first crash into the river, and you barely have the time to curse Lü Bu’s female relatives before emerging from the water. Due to the storm, the river appears very turbulent; you struggle desperately within the flood, and as you strive for the shore, your right foot is suddenly grabbed by something, which you suspect is some evil thing, instantly spurring towards the riverbank at your fastest speed.

Finally, when utterly exhausted, you manage to lug yourself and a large load behind you onto the long-lost grassy riverbank.

When you regain a bit of energy and turn around, you nearly jump, discovering that the thing that held onto you was Lü Bu!

You calm your heart and then reach out to pry Lü Bu’s hand off you.

"Hiss—" You naturally take a cold breath because it hurts. After loosening Lü Bu’s grip, you find five finger marks on your right foot, with two even somewhat swollen.

Looking at the unconscious Lü Bu in front of you, you shake your head and sigh: "This guy really has a big fate."

The rain is relentless, with no sign of stopping, so you have to carry Lü Bu on your back with your weary body and head for the forest. Having grown up in the mountains, you are skilled at finding caves, and before long, you behold a seemingly hidden cave for Lü Bu. Although whether Gao Lan will send people to pursue is unknown, you make some adjustments at the cave entrance for safety’s sake. As for footprints, you walked on grasslands on the way, and after a wash by rainwater, surely there are no traces left.

The cave exudes a faint stench, sniffing around you estimate some large creature like a bear previously lived here.

However, the scent is rather light suggesting the bear has long departed.

With every inch soaked, you naturally take off your clothes, leaving only your underpants.

"Grr!"

While undressing, you hear teeth chattering, turning to see it’s coming from Lü Bu beside you. You now remember that Lü Bu was already ill, and if chilled more, not even the Celestials could save him.

Though unwilling, you still scowl and reluctantly take off Lü Bu’s seemingly cumbersome helmet.

As you remove the helmet, long red hair flows out.

"Oh, I didn’t expect such a rugged man like Lü Bu to have such a head of long fiery red hair. They say Lü Bu is of the Alien Clan, seems he truly is different."

You speak playfully.

As the saying goes, "Body hair from parents," ancient people always cared about hair; you think perhaps Lü Bu’s conspicuous red hair leads him to wear such a stuffy helmet. You don’t dwell on it much longer and straddle beside Lü Bu, leaning in to find the straps binding the armor, yet even after searching for a good while, you don’t find any, meanwhile noticing fresh red blood flowing from Lü Bu’s nether regions.
