Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

At this moment, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were even more anxious than before.

In particular, Liu Bei sensed that he would win this battle and receive an unprecedented reward from Heaven!

Therefore, we must enter the fighting arena!!

The three men wielded their weapons with great force, relentlessly bombarding the invisible barrier. Each collision produced a dull thud, yet they could not budge it in the slightest.

The energy released was minimal because all three concentrated all their power on a single point, aiming for maximum destructive force.

Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade slashed down with immense force, and visible energy ripples spread across the barrier before quickly returning to normal.

Zhang Fei's eighteen-foot spear, like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, fiercely pierced the weak point of the barrier, but it was all in vain. The spear tip was even shaken by the force of the rebound.

Liu Bei's twin swords transformed into two streaks of light, constantly circling and probing the surface of the barrier, trying to find a flaw, but the result was equally frustrating.

Veins bulged on the foreheads of the three of them, and the divine energy around them surged. Sweat slid down their cheeks, soaking their clothes, clearly indicating that they had expended a lot of energy, but that damned barrier remained as solid as a rock.

"Let's try the power of luck!" Liu Bei changed his mind and prepared to use other methods.

Immediately, a series of dragon roars and tiger howls rang out, but unfortunately, they still couldn't break the spell!

It can even block the power of destiny, what exactly is this magic array?!
"What...what the hell is this?!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but curse, his voice filled with frustration and anger.

"I, Old Zhang, refuse to believe this evil today!" Zhang Fei roared.

After saying that, he took a deep breath, and the divine energy in his body surged out wildly. His aura suddenly surged, and he raised the eighteen-foot spear in his hand high once again.

The next moment, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky. The huge black shadow quickly solidified; it was a black panther!
"Roar!~~~~" The black panther roared as soon as it appeared. The terrifying sound wave spread out, and the surrounding soldiers could not bear it and covered their ears in pain.

The next moment, Zhang Fei's spear tip pointed straight to the sky, and the black leopard also roared, its huge mouth like a ten-foot-long spear, ready to blast towards the barrier.

The next moment, Zhang Fei thrust forward with all his might, as if he were concentrating all his strength into this one strike.

"Boom!" The massive black panther snapped its jaws, its eighteen-foot spear piercing the barrier. Terrifying energy surged forth, sending sand and stones flying everywhere, creating a yellow dust fog that obstructed visibility across the entire battlefield.

Zhang Fei's outburst was powerful, but when the dust settled, the pillar and the barrier remained standing unharmed... Zhang Fei's outburst was useless!

Zhang Fei stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with resentment.

Although Guan Yu did not speak, his phoenix eyes were wide open, and his face was flushed from the exertion. Clearly, his anxiety and resentment were no less than Zhang Fei's.

He knew that the reputation of the three brothers, and even the face and plans of their eldest brother Liu Bei, depended on whether they could break through this barrier.

If they can't even get into the fighting arena, then they will truly become a laughing stock of the world, and all their previous boasts will become a huge irony.

Liu Bei's expression was even more complicated. He looked at his two younger brothers' futile attacks, and then at the martial arts arena not far away, which was shrouded in a barrier and seemed to be isolated from the world. He felt a mix of emotions.

He was extremely anxious about not being able to enter the fighting arena, and secretly regretted not seizing the opportunity earlier.

He even began to doubt whether his previous decision was really wrong. If he had acted decisively after Lü Bu and Wu Anguo's battle, when they were exhausted, and intercepted Gongsun Zan, would he not be in this dilemma now?
But now that things have come to this, no amount of regret will help. The only solution now is to break through this barrier as soon as possible.

He gritted his teeth and increased the intensity of his twin sword attacks. The sword shadows became denser, and the sword energy crisscrossed, constantly bombarding every corner of the barrier, never giving up.

However, no matter how hard they tried, the barrier was like a huge, impenetrable wall, keeping them firmly outside.

The shouts of battle rang out again, seemingly even louder, but the three of them felt as if the gazes around them were piercing them like needles, making them feel utterly ashamed.

Inside the arena, the standoff between Lin Mu and Lü Bu continued. Lü Bu didn't make a move immediately, and Lin Mu seemed in no hurry either…

Lu Bu looked at Lin Mu with disdain and amusement in his eyes, as if he were looking at a turtle trapped in a jar.

"What? Are your three 'good helpers' still performing acrobatics outside?" Lu Bu sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

Inside, there was no sound from outside, nor could Lin Mu sense any movement from Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei attacking the barrier. However, Lin Mu could feel that the three of them were trying very hard to attack the barrier and get in.

The scene that had spread throughout the world could no longer be heard after the barrier of the martial arts arena appeared. Therefore, only those involved could hear the conversation between Lin Mu and Lü Bu; others could only see the scene.

"This martial arts arena of yours isn't actually in the Divine Land, nor is it on the land in front of Hulao Pass, is it?" Lin Mu said meaningfully, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu's heart skipped a beat.

Just as Lin Mu said, the [Southern Dipper Seven Kill Martial Arts Arena] wasn't actually on the ground in front of Hulao Pass, but rather in another dimension. This was why even their use of their luck-based abilities was ineffective. They simply hadn't found the true location...

Although Lü Bu was inwardly terrified, he remained outwardly calm: "If it's not in front of Hulao Pass, then what's behind you? And what is Hulao Pass behind me?"

"Lin Mu, I advise you to give up on that idea. They can't get in. Today is your death day!" Lin Mu withdrew his gaze from Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei outside the barrier and landed on Lü Bu's face. His expression remained calm, as if the commotion outside and Lü Bu's provocation had nothing to do with him.

"I'm waiting for Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. What are you waiting for?" Lin Mu suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Waiting for your fate to begin!" Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

The next moment, a refined figure holding a black longsword and radiating a faint black light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, appearing like a ghost to Lu Bu's right.

Lin Mu's expression changed slightly when he saw this person.

That's right, this person is none other than Dong Zhuo's number one strategist—Li Ru, Li Wenyou!

Lin Mu never imagined that Li Ru would appear on the battlefield or personally intervene in the situation.

His personal appearance indicates that this situation is three times more terrifying than imagined!
"I never expected you to come in... I lost... But today, you must endure a life-or-death ordeal. If you pass, all will be well; if you fail, you will perish!"

“If you die, then the outcome of the bet won’t matter anymore…” Li Ru muttered to himself.

Lin Mu frowned upon hearing Li Ru's words. What did he mean? A bet? A wager? Who was he betting against? The spirit of Mount Tai? Bai Ze? Or perhaps some hidden being?
Moreover, Lin Mu sensed that after Li Ru said those two sentences, his willpower became stronger and his killing intent towards him intensified!

He valued this situation even more, and he could even sense a resolute determination in Li Ru's words—a determination that it was either him or me to die!
“A calamity... Heh... There must be other people behind this, right? Aren’t they going to show themselves?” Although Lin Mu was quite shocked, his expression remained unchanged, still calm and composed.

"Fengxian, when the battle begins, you go and deal with Gongsun Zan and those three Nine-Yuan Divine Generals!" Li Ru ignored Lin Mu and turned around to give the instructions with a solemn expression.

“Leave it to me!” Lü Bu replied firmly.

That's right, the one facing off against Lin Mu wasn't Lu Bu...

"Where did the dragon's luck on you go? Is it all hidden in the cauldron?" Li Ru asked again.

Lin Mu did not answer, but stared straight at Li Ru.

Although he couldn't use the Liangzhou Cauldron or the Investiture of the Gods, Lin Mu wasn't intimidated at all.

He knew that now was not the time to back down. Lu Bu and Li Ru's strength was unfathomable, not to mention that the other side had the advantage of playing on their home turf and had set up such a strange barrier and killing trap.

Without the blessing of the dragon, he had to be even more careful and cautious, taking each step with utmost care. Every expression had to be perfect... therefore, he could not show the slightest fear.

Just then, a strange yet somewhat familiar aged voice suddenly rang out: "Indeed, Lin Mu, you do possess the bearing of a hero, remaining unmoved even when Mount Tai collapses before you..."

"Even amidst such a deadly trap, his expression remained unchanged." Another aged voice rang out.

"It's you again... You've been hiding in the shadows, afraid to show yourselves, acting so inferior... How can you expect to accomplish anything!" Lin Mu said calmly, as if he had expected this.

Lin Mu truly admired these three old bastards. They'd gotten themselves into so many disgusting messes. If he could get his hands on them, he would have killed them long ago!
When I get the chance, I'll definitely make them taste what it's like to be outmaneuvered!

“My strategist has already guessed what’s going on today, otherwise why would I have come in? My strategist is far superior to Li Wenyou, how could he not have thought of these things? Today’s situation is doomed!” Lin Mu looked at Li Ru meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Li Ru raised an eyebrow. He knew how formidable Lin Mu's strategists were, and thus agreed with Lin Mu's words.

"You're setting up your own destiny, but you'll be punished by heaven and struck by lightning!" Lin Mu said casually, ending with a little joke.

"No need for further words, we are ready, we can begin the battle!" A third aged voice rang out.

"Buzz!!!" As the third aged voice rang out, a strange wave rippled outwards.

The next moment, a faint purple aura suddenly rose from the ground, then turned into a mist that quickly spread toward Lin Mu.

Lin Mu did not dodge, and the three men behind him, including Dian Wei, who wanted to protect him, were stopped by Lin Mu.

The purple aura was completely unstoppable, not even by the power of destiny.

"Hiss!~~~" A piercing sound rang out.

The next moment, a pale purple beam of light shot into the sky from beneath Lin Mu's feet.

The purple beam of light pierced through the barrier and shot towards the sky.

Before long, a purple cloud formed in the sky.

However, just when Li Ru and the others thought that the purple cloud would cover Lin Mu's head, they discovered that the purple cloud was slowly moving...

Before long, they arrived right above Liu Bei's head, who was still frantically attacking the barrier! (End of Chapter)
