CHAPTER 1817: CHAPTER 1818: CRUSHING A SKULL

Liu Bei looked straight at you and said, "Li Muyun, you and I both understand that my strength currently surpasses yours. As the saying goes, a wise tree chooses its perch wisely. I promise you that if you can assist me, one day..."

"Shut your damn mouth!" Your body slowly sank, familiar to those who knew you as the stance of your full attack. You glanced at the now recovered Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and said, "I know you two are formidable, but when it comes to speed, I, Li Muyun, claim the first, and no one dares claim second! I have the ability, and I’m confident that before you could kill me, I’d crush Liu Bei’s head and see his brains splatter, hehe!"

Your face bore a bloodthirsty look, and under the gaze of everyone present, your body suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, you were already standing behind Liu Bei, so close to him!

"You..."

Just as Liu Bei turned his head, you reappeared in your original position. This move was beyond the expectations of Liu Bei’s four men, even Guan Yu looked surprised and blurted out, "Ghost Shadow Step!"

You shrugged and laughed, "I don’t quite understand what you mean by Ghost Shadow Step, haha, this movement technique I realized on the battlefield myself, and it was with this step that I sparred with Lü Bu. However, speaking of which, Liu Bei, the scene of three heroes battling Lü Bu would likely never occur, because as soon as you appear, Lü Bu would definitely kill you in seconds, hahaha!"

Here, you completely disdained Liu Bei. Honestly, you never thought Liu Bei would be a transmigrator, nor expected that this Liu Bei in front of you would be a lust-driven fool. This comment wasn’t exaggerating; if you were Liu Bei, you would never bring Gongsun Zan to Wuji for a forced marriage.

Though Zhen Luo is a historically famous beauty, unlike the legendary Diao Chan, women are after all women. Without formidable strength and influence, women are just a burden.

Moreover, Zhen Luo is in Yuan Shao’s territory. It’s well known that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan don’t see eye to eye. You could say that if you go out and shout that Gongsun Zan is in Wuji on the street, tomorrow Wuji would probably be surrounded by thousands of troops, and Liu Bei’s four men would be minced into meat paste in no time!

"Kid, I wasn’t ready just now, that was a sneak attack and doesn’t count! Let’s have another go!" Zhang Fei shouted at the top of his lungs, clearly feeling embarrassed that he was knocked down by you with a punch.

But Zhang Fei didn’t know that you used at most thirty percent of your energy just now; if you had attacked with full force, Zhang Fei’s belly would’ve been punched through!

Zhang Fei clearly didn’t possess Guan Yu’s Inner Strength; he, like you, only had brute Martial Strength. Although Zhang Fei’s energy surpassed that of ordinary people, in front of your Divine Power, he still paled in comparison.

Obviously, Guan Yu had somewhat discerned the truth. He glared at Zhang Fei, who then swallowed his words and only glared at you fiercely.

Due to being intimidated by your speed, Guan Yu dared not make a move for a moment. If it were a one-on-one with you not escaping, he could naturally kill you within ten moves, but with your speed just now, Liu Bei would undoubtedly die!

For Guan Yu, the responsibility Liu Bei carried was of great importance, and even if he died a thousand times, it wouldn’t compare to one life of Liu Bei.

Originally, Guan Yu objected to Liu Bei’s visit here. He leaned closer to Liu Bei and murmured a few things. Liu Bei let out a long sigh and finally gave you a meaningful look, saying, "What happened today, I will repay it manifold in the future!"

You shrugged, adopting an indifferent stance.

"Let’s go!"

Liu Bei snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves to leave.

However, before Liu Bei’s foot stepped out the threshold, you added, "Liu Bei, I advise you to change your ways. You see, the real you will have to endure being a dog with your tail tucked for many years. If you continue treating others in your current manner, hehe, never mind here, you’ll definitely not pass Cao Cao’s gate!"

Liu Bei slowed his pace for a moment, then left without looking back.

You intentionally told Liu Bei this. Honestly, you didn’t quite understand the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu. You didn’t know if others could see it, but you felt something was off about Liu Bei and Guan Yu’s relationship. Of course, they were not bromantic; instead, they seemed more like master and servant, which made you very puzzled.

Zhang Fei was evidently a brawny butcher, now like some inexperienced young man, full of energy but unable to use it adeptly.

As a fellow transmigrator, you did not wish for Liu Bei’s death; but from the current perspective, you should spare no effort in killing Liu Bei. For you, Liu Bei could very well be the most threatening enemy in this world. Because he knows you and understands the threat you pose to him, Liu Bei will equally try every means to get rid of you.

After Liu Bei’s group left, only then did the Zhang Family sigh in relief, "Old, truly can’t manage much anymore. If it were back in the day, Gongsun Zan wouldn’t dare speak to me in that tone."

You sat cheerfully at the right of the Zhang Family, looked at them, and said, "You’re not old at all; you look like you’re just in your early thirties."

No woman dislikes being told she looks young, although your words were a bit exaggerated, the Zhang Family was still pleased. She didn’t say much but looked at you and said, "It seems you’re quite familiar with that Liu Bei we saw earlier."

You nodded, then shook your head and said, "Both familiar and unfamiliar. In total, I didn’t know him before but knew of him; only he didn’t expect this wretch to be so stupid. Though I don’t want to take him seriously, the truth tells me that when I see him in the future, I have to attack him with everything I’ve got!"

The Zhang Family leaned back slightly in her exhausted body, as in the Han Dynasty people sat on their knees, and she was no exception. Seeing this, you spoke, "Old Lady, as I discussed with Uncle Wen, I’ve tailored a set of furniture for you. Tomorrow, you can have Uncle Wen get it from me, so you won’t have to sit kneeling like that hereafter."

Unlike others, you’ve never gotten used to sitting on your knees, so you usually just sat on the ground directly, since others view you as simply a crude barbarian anyway.

The Zhang Family nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your efforts."

"Oh, please, don’t say that, makes me feel like an outsider." You exaggerated your expression, making the Zhang Family chuckle slightly.

"Are you here today to see my two daughters?"

You didn’t deny it and nodded, "Of course!"

"Unfortunately, they both went out."

"Where did they go?" You vaguely felt something was off.

"A few days ago, some thieves looted Zhang Village, and my family suffered some losses. Today Luo’er happened to have some free time, so Jiang’er accompanied her to Wang Village to check it out and provide some relief to the relatives in Wang Village." The Zhang Family thought for a moment and said, "They left by carriage early this morning, so they’ve likely already left Wuji’s border by now."

You immediately asked, "Do Liu Bei and his men know where Zhen Luo and the others went?"

"Well... not good!" The Zhang Family slapped the table, her expression changed drastically, "They saw Luo’er yesterday when they came and although I didn’t say today where they went, they do know Luo’er wasn’t in the house. You..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll go now!" You suddenly turned around, and with a loud "bang!" as your right foot shattered the floor stone slab, your body left afterimage in the Zhang Family’s eyes as you rushed out of the hall.

Once outside the door, you looked around but did not see Liu Bei’s group, so you promptly asked the two guards at the gate, "Where did the four people who just left from inside go?"

The two simultaneously pointed towards the West City Gate and said, "Went west, and looked in quite a hurry, riding horses through the city in broad daylight no less. If they run into the County Magistrate, that would be something."
