Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"General, you are mighty!"

"General, you are mighty!"

The soldiers of Hulao Pass roared past in unison.

In contrast, the morale of the Allied forces has plummeted.

There was no way around it; Lü Bu was just too terrifying. That was a city wall nourished by clouds and mist, which Guan Yu could still cut into, but Lü Bu only managed to inflict minor injuries.

Lu Bu unleashed a furious barrage of attacks, single-handedly suppressing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Looking at his own attack, Guan Yu finally realized that his attack hadn't landed properly and had been deflected by Lü Bu using some unknown technique. This restored Guan Yu's confidence; Lü Bu wasn't so strong that he could ignore their attacks, but rather that he could still be defeated.

However, Guan Yu actually miscalculated one point: Lü Bu didn't rely on any skill to deflect the attack; rather, it was a full-force strike that deflected it.

There's no way around it. If Lü Bu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a 10, then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are 8. But after being strengthened, Lü Bu is now a 100, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are 80. The gap is obviously much bigger now.

With his halberd flying high and low, Lü Bu was certain that the dark-faced Zhang Fei was seriously injured, and the red-faced Guan Yu wasn't in much better shape.

He can defeat both of them in fifty moves at most.

However, what made him somewhat wary was that the allied forces clearly still had at least five more internal energy releasers. But Lu Bu was confident that even if it was a war of attrition, he would not lose. After all, he was Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian!

"Zilong, aren't you going to make a move?" Chen Xi asked.

"Wait a little longer. General Guan and General Zhang's strength is increasing rapidly. The time before they turn forty is the best time to make a name for themselves," Zhao Yun said.

The Guan Yu we see now is actually at 90% of his strength. That one attack depleted his energy and spirit, and in a duel between experts, a Guan Yu at 90% strength can only be considered a helper and cannot inflict much damage.

Zhang Fei knew that if they continued fighting like this, they would be defeated sooner or later, so he decided to activate his secret technique.

Zhang Fei's mind was completely blank; in martial arts terms, he had reached a state of selflessness. His terrifying eighteen-foot spear flew up and down, unleashing a series of sonic booms.

Anyone with eyes can see that being hit by a single blow is no joke.

Lu Bu was about to curse. What was going on? Innate superhuman strength is understandable, right? Lu Bu was indeed born with superhuman strength, but could his strength still be increased in battle?

Zhang Fei's brute strength was increasing, and attacks that Lu Bu could normally block with a single strike of his halberd often required several twists and turns to dissipate the force before he could block them.

Then Lu Bu had no choice but to use his heavy sword technique, and he started using it. Zhang Fei was able to fight back. Isn't that absurd?

Zhao Yun stared at Zhang Fei in disbelief. He estimated his own strength and realized that against Zhang Fei in his current state, he could only rely on speed to dominate.

"Zilong is ready," Chen Xi said with a wry smile.

"Zichuan, General Zhang can clearly continue fighting, right? It won't be that easy for Lü Bu to take down General Zhang. Brute force at a certain level is also terrifying."

Chen Xi explained the principle behind this secret technique to Zhao Yun with a wry smile.

"So, in the end, the body simply can't withstand its own strength and will only collapse!" Chen Xi said.

As Chen Xi finished speaking, Lu Bu, who had been pushed back, launched a fierce attack, sending Zhang Fei flying back. Zhang Fei was covered in blood and could only be described as hanging from his horse.

"Ridiculous! Your body simply can't withstand your power. I thought you could really grow indefinitely!" Lu Bu sneered.

Lu Bu caught up and was about to finish off Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Then Zhao Yun rode up on horseback, holding a silver spear, and said, "Zhao Zilong of Changshan, please enlighten me!"

This was the first time Zhao Yun had ever ganged up on someone.

Lu Bu didn't care. Since his debut, he had always been ganged up on. From Bingzhou to Luoyang, and from Luoyang to the warlords of the land, no one was qualified to fight him one-on-one. So what if they were experts? Weren't the ones who ganged up on him experts? He killed experts!

However, what Lu Bu didn't know was that Zhao Yun was also a master in a class of his own. If Zhao Yun had lived in the Chu-Han Contention, an era when it was common to cultivate internal energy, he could have even achieved the level of Qi Refining into a powerful force.

Zhao Yun was the most talented guy Tong Yuan found after traveling all over the Han Dynasty!

Zhao Yun's spear was incredibly fast, its silvery-blue light faint, yet it was beautiful to wield.

Even with Lu Bu's keen eyesight, he could only see streaks of spear light. He had never imagined that someone's spear could be so fast; it was truly astonishing.

Zhao Yun was helpless; whether it was strength, defense, or horse, Zhao Yun was no match for Lü Bu, so he could only rely on speed.

It was only after Lu Bu was worn down that he had a 20-30% chance of winning. Moreover, Zhao Yun also realized that as long as Lu Bu's invincible mentality wasn't broken, no matter how he fought, he couldn't defeat Lu Bu.

To break Lu Bu's invincible mentality, you have to make him realize that he can't beat you. Otherwise, it's a dead end.

Therefore, Zhao Yun could only attack quickly, and faster and faster, almost making Lu Bu's scalp tingle when they clashed.

As for the techniques of light and heavy swordsmanship? Is there anyone in the world who can master this skill better than Zhao Yun, who was taught by Tong Yuan?

On one hand, Lü Bu decided to proceed cautiously, while on the other hand, Zhao Yun felt increasingly bitter.

Zhao Yun wielded his spear faster and faster, but he felt his chances of winning were getting lower and lower. He thought Lu Bu had adapted to his speed. Was Lu Bu even human? Did he have no weaknesses?

Lu Bu's eyes grew increasingly fierce as he fought. At first, he thought he could defeat Zhao Yun by slowly beating him up. Now, he suddenly wondered if Zhao Yun was the one he had been waiting for—the one who could level up by killing him.

With this idea in mind, Lü Bu became more and more convinced that he was right. What other person had the strength to fight him for so many rounds without a clear winner?

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Lu Bu roared, his combat power increasing even further. He cracked the spear technique that he couldn't figure out before just by relying on his intuition.

However, before Lü Bu could continue his attack, he discovered that Zhao Yun's spear had become even faster.

Lu Bu's eyes burned even brighter.

Both attacks were becoming increasingly faster. What used to be the speed to fire one shot was now the speed to fire two, and even three shots were not impossible. However, Zhao Yun was indeed powerless to suppress Lü Bu's momentum.

The eighteen warlords and the people at Hulao Pass were dumbfounded. Was Lü Bu even human? And Liu Bei's fate was too good! Where did he get so many top-tier generals?

"General Guan, lend me a hand!" Zhao Yun roared. It was no use; the collision had begun, his power was being revealed, and Lü Bu was about to go berserk.

"Zilong, don't panic, Yunchang is here!" Although Guan Yu was puzzled as to why Zhao Yun suddenly couldn't hold on when the forces were evenly matched, he still rushed forward.
