Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1070: Goodbye, Old Enemy
"System prompt: Cheng Liang vs. Wei Yan."

"Cheng Liang, basic force is 97 points, the King of Soldiers, King of Armor, and King of Beasts have increased by 6 points in total, triggering the special skill 'More Courageous'. The current battle is not favorable to our side, so the force is increased by 4 points."

"Although Cheng Liang has been fighting for a long time, he is not injured. He has just rested before this battle and is in high spirits. Therefore, his special skill 'Blood Evil' has not been triggered yet."

"Cheng Liang's overall force is 107 points."

The tiger that Cheng Liang is riding now is the offspring of Black King and a Siberian tiger six years ago. However, its fur color is almost exactly the same as that of an ordinary tiger, without any trace of black tiger color.

Over the years, the Black King has had many offspring, most of whom were incorporated into the Divine Tiger Riders, but only this one inherited his bravery and physique, and broke through the limitations of wild beasts. He was trained to have powerful battlefield fighting skills and the ability to cooperate with his master, and then became one of the only two beast kings, and perhaps, soon, the only one.

"Shhh..." Wei Yan's warhorse seemed a little frightened.

"Behave yourself, you ignorant beast." He held the reins tightly with his left hand and wielded the sword with his right hand, slashing the horse's butt very accurately. A thin cut was made on the rough horse skin, and a few drops of bright red blood oozed out.

The warhorse had been tamed for a long time, so it naturally understood that its master was angry. If it avoided the tiger again, it would be chopped by its master before the tiger could eat it. Of course, it may not really "understand" this truth, but it may just be a conditioned reflex due to years of domestication.

"Wei Yan's basic military strength is 96 points, and his weapons and armor have increased by 2 points in total. The special skill 'Seeking Success' is triggered, and his military strength increases by 4 points. Wei Yan's current comprehensive military strength is 102 points."

Cao Cao watched the two men fighting back and forth from behind. Although Wei Yan was at a disadvantage, he was able to hold out for more than thirty rounds, which made him in a good mood.

"Wei Yan is a man of great military courage and wisdom. He is not an ordinary reckless man. He is worthy of being employed."

Cheng Yu obviously disagreed with this: "Humph, this person is eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he is arrogant. He is definitely not a good person."

Cao Cao, however, did not care: "Isn't this just right? Cai Mao and others are just clinging to the little gains in Jingzhou, holding the idea of ​​not seeking merit but only avoiding mistakes, and they are unwilling to make more efforts. Since Wei Yan is ambitious, I will help him."

Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry. Even if you want to promote this man, he must be alive. If he is killed by Cheng Liang, your idea will be in vain."

Cao Cao laughed: "Haha, Fengxiao is right, I almost forgot about this."

He looked at the few generals around him and said, "I'm afraid Wen Chang won't be able to hold out for long. He is no match for Cheng Liang. Is there anyone willing to step forward and lend him a helping hand?"

Huang Zhong, who was eating a piece of bread, was about to stand up when he was stopped by Xiahou Dun beside him.

"Why did Yuan Rang..."

When Huang Zhong was about to ask a question, another figure stood up. Xiahou Dun nodded at the man and Huang Zhong immediately understood what was going on. He sat down again and continued eating.

"My lord, Lu Bu is willing to kill this Liao for my lord."

Cao Cao acted very happy and said, "Well, well, well, Fengxian used to have the reputation of being the best in the world, but he was killed by Liu He. Today, I can borrow Cheng Liang's head to restore my former glory."

When Lu Bu heard the words "number one in the world", his eyes lit up involuntarily.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely fulfill my mission." After saying this, he put the precious carved bow on his back, picked up the newly forged Fang Tian Huaji, mounted his warhorse, and rushed into the battlefield.

Although Huang Zhong sat down, he was still a little confused and turned to look at Xiahou Dun beside him.

"Lü Bu has an old illness and his martial arts skills are no longer as good as they used to be. Even if he joins forces with Wei Yan, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to kill Cheng Liang. Why did the lord let him go?"

When he said this, it meant that he had no doubt about Xiahou Dun's intention to stop him.

After all, the reason why Xiahou Dun could become the lord's most trusted and closest general was not just because his surname was Xiahou. You should know that Xiahou Yuan also had the surname Xiahou, and was even more skilled in archery and horse riding, and in the use of troops and strategies, than Xiahou Dun. But in front of Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun would always be the number one general.

Xiahou Dun tilted his head back and took a sip of the bone soup, smacking his lips as if he was still savoring the taste.

"Think about it, what would happen if Lu Bu succeeded in killing Cheng Liang?"

Huang Zhong stroked his graying beard, thought for a moment, and said, "This man hates Liu He, Guan Yu, Cheng Liang, Zhang Yong, and Zhu Ye to the core. If Cheng Liang can be killed, his fighting spirit will surely increase, and he will fight even harder for his lord, and he will be grateful to his lord for giving him the opportunity to avenge himself."

"Hmm..." Xiahou Dun nodded, agreeing with his answer: "What if we lose the battle?"

Huang Zhong did not hesitate this time: "If Lü Bu flees after being defeated, he should be ashamed. He should work hard to practice martial arts and return double the damage to the enemy in the future. If he is killed by Cheng Liang... well... it seems that it will not cause any loss to our army."

Xiahou Dun shrugged his shoulders: "That's it, it's a hundred-sided benefit with no harm, if he doesn't go, who will?"

Huang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "But he is a general after all. When discussing matters in the military tent, his seat is only below you, Miaocai, Zixiao and me. If he dies in battle, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army."

Among Cao Cao's military generals, Xiahou Dun ranked the highest, followed by Huang Zhong and Cao Ren, and then Lu Bu. Even Cao Hong and Cao Chun were half a level lower than Lu Bu. Of course, this was only a military rank and did not represent real power.

As for Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they were Cao Cao's personal guards, always guarding on his left and right sides.

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Dun immediately showed disdain on his face: "Tsk... a slave of three surnames, without loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness. The martial arts that made him famous are now only this archery. In addition, after being imprisoned by Liu He for many years, he has become so cold and withdrawn. How many people do you think like him in the army? How many people still take him seriously? The general in the army will have almost no impact on the morale only if he dies in battle. And only if he kills Cheng Liang can the value of Cheng Liang's head be maximized. What's the point of wasting your breath on this person? It's rare to have meat soup in the army, you must taste it."

"That makes sense... I have to say, this bone soup is really good..."

Lu Bu was still two hundred steps away, and his pair of eagle eyes, flashing with murderous intent, stared at Cheng Liang closely.

He raised the longbow, put the arrow on the bowstring, and aimed at Cheng Liang's back.

"Boom..."

The sharp arrow flew into the air.

"System prompt: Lu Bu's basic archery skill is 104 points. The Five-Stone Strong Bow increases his archery skill by 2 points. The special skill 'Ten Thousand Arrows' is triggered, increasing his archery skill by 4 points. The current comprehensive archery skill is 110 points."
