Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 86: One-legged Bronze Man
"Bring me my one-legged bronze figure!"

Boluhun outside the tent shouted loudly.

clang! !

Two of Boluhun's personal guards laboriously carried the five-foot-tall, one-legged bronze statue to Boluhun's front. The bronze head of the one-legged statue was engraved with evil patterns. When the heavy hammer struck the ground, a dull thud like thunder shook the ground and startled the horses into neighing.

The One-legged Bronze Man, also known as the One-legged Bronze Man Spear, is a unique external weapon. Resembling a bronze man with one leg missing, it typically weighs over a thousand pounds and is used by those with immense strength. It can be used as a copper staff, a shield, or even for acupuncture.

Boluhun was born with supernatural powers and loved to wield spears and sticks since he was a child. Later, he met a famous teacher. Because of his amazing right arm strength, his teacher taught him the unique skills of the one-horned bronze man. Relying on this one-legged bronze man spear, Boluhun was invincible on the grassland and was known as the best master of the Turks.

"Give me my steel whip,"

Holding the one-legged bronze spear in hand, Boluhun narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Lü Shang emerge from the golden tent. Lü Shang stabbed the golden wolf-head banner into the ground. The north wind whipped the wolf flag into a rustling sound outside the tent. He then took the three-light purple bamboo whip handed to him by Wei Cheng.

When Boluhun saw that Lu Shang's weapon was just a steel whip, he laughed loudly and said, "The Sui people are indeed weak and frail, far less powerful than us Turkic men. Boy, don't say I'm bullying you. I'll let you make the first move."

"You make the first move, then I'll make the next move."

Hearing this, Lu Shang gently stroked his steel whip and said, "You are so arrogant, I shouldn't give in. However, if you lose to me like this, I'm worried that you will be dissatisfied. Don't say that you let me go first and lost the upper hand, so you lost to me."

Having said this, there was a pause. A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Shang's eyes. He said, "How about this, to convince you, I will let you attack me for three moves first. After those three moves, I will attack you with all my strength."

"Insanity!"

Shaboluo and the others in the Golden Tent also left the tent. As soon as they left the tent, they heard Lü Shang's arrogant words. They were startled at first, then their faces changed. One of the middle-aged men, seeing Lü Shang's contempt for Boluhun, became furious and blurted out:

Shaboluo glanced at the middle-aged man and scolded him, "Boribetchi, calm down."

"What an arrogant Sui people,"

Boluhun laughed in rage. His right arm, tangled with muscles like the twisted roots of an old tree, gripped the gaping hole in the bronze man's neck with his five fingers, and single-handedly swung the thousand-pound weapon into a dark whirlwind. Wherever the bronze man's sole foot swept, the grass rolled like a plow, stirring up gravel and crackling.

"Sui people! Can your steel whip withstand three of my spears?" Bolu's voice was like thunder. When the bronze man fell on his head, the evil patterns engraved on his face actually oozed dark red blood.

clang!
Lu Shang held the whip horizontally with one hand, firmly holding the bronze spear of Boluhun. Sparks flew where the whip touched the bronze man, and the huge impact force made the grass under their feet rumble and sink several inches.

"Don't even mention three spears. Even thirty or three hundred spears, I can take them!"

Lu Shang's expression was stern, and the three-light purple bamboo whip in his hand was as steady as Mount Tai.

"Good boy, I admit that you have some skills. Don't leave, or you will be hit by our spears again." Seeing this, Boluhun became even more angry. He stomped his feet hard, and the ground cracked. The one-legged bronze man continued to smash towards Lu Shang with a whistling sound and the force of a whirlwind.

clang!
Lü Shang swung his whip again, blocking the bronze man's spear. Flames erupted. Boluhun's one-legged bronze man was incredibly powerful, and the force of his swing was even more astonishing. The mere leakage of his true energy crushed a thousand feet around him, causing the ground to collapse, waves of sand to sweep across, and a howling wind to blow. However, this ferocious and violent true energy, when it struck Lü Shang's steel whip, was like a drop in the ocean, leaving no ripple, unable to even move Lü Shang a single step. Seeing that his second spear strike still had no effect, Boluhun was stunned.

"There is one last spear," Lu Shang said coldly in response to Boluhun's astonished gaze.

"Ahhh!" As if hurt by Lu Shang's words, Boluhun roared, veins bulged in his arms, like a coiled dragon, and the bronze man's spear left a dark red afterimage in the air.

The third spear didn't strike straight down, but swung the one-legged bronze man like a meteor hammer, piercing through him horizontally. As the bronze man's foot scraped across the ground, the grass parted like waves, plowing a three-foot-deep furrow.

Facing the furious attack, Lu Shang raised his hand, and with a loud clang, the steel whip was firmly blocked in front of him. The steel whip collided with the bronze man's spear, causing pain in the eardrums of the surrounding Turkic soldiers. Many soldiers had painful expressions on their faces, half-squatting and covering their ears, only to feel constant tinnitus and splitting headaches.

At the same time, a strong air wave erupted between the two of them, like a hurricane sweeping across, sweeping the surrounding sand, rocks, and dead grass into the air.

"Three spears, I've already let you have three spears, it's my turn now."

Lü Shang, who took Boluhun's blow head-on without moving, laughed heartily and said, "General Boluhun, I've let you win three moves. From now on, please be very, very careful. Don't let me kill you!"

By the time he finished speaking, Lü Shang had already raised his steel whip, and swung it down heavily at Boluhun. However, this whip of Lü Shang's didn't have the ferocious, domineering, and overbearing aura of Boluhun.

Unlike the onlookers, Boluhun, who had actually faced Lu Shang's whip, finally understood how terrifying Lu Shang was. Just as Lu Shang raised his hand, the air around Boluhun suddenly became extremely sticky, as if it had solidified, and his perception continued to sink.

“Ka-la-la—”

After the steel whip collided with the bronze man's spear, the force flowed from top to bottom, and several fine lines suddenly appeared on the bronze man's neck. Boluhun only felt that every muscle and every nerve in his right arm were making a mournful cry.

"This monster,"

Boluhun roared in his heart, his eyes almost bursting with fear.

He gritted his teeth and, with all his strength, tried to twist the one-legged bronze man's spear to remove Lu Shang's seemingly gentle, yet incredibly heavy, steel whip. However, the sticky air was like an invisible prison, slowing his movements to a crawl.

boom!
In the end, Boluhun was forced to kneel on one knee, and his knee slammed heavily on the ground. Facing Lu Shang's cold eyes, Boluhun's courage was completely suppressed at this moment.

"General Lu, spare his life."

Seeing Boluhun forced to his knees, Shaboluo strode forward, his expression filled with anxiety. Although Boluhun was reckless, he was Shaboluo's loyal dog. Shaboluo also respected this reckless man and naturally could not sit idly by and watch Boluhun be killed.

"General Lu is unrivaled in martial arts. Today, all of us Turks have finally witnessed his brilliance. However, Boluhun is a fierce general under my command and is utterly loyal to me. If he were to be killed in this competition today, it would be a great loss for the Turks."

"Now that Datou has raised a large army and is invading Baidaochuan, the Yazhan needs men right now. I hope General Lu will spare his life because he is ignorant and has no ill intentions!"
