Why is my anime art style so weird?

In the center of the city stood a magnificent building resembling a palace.

Several distinctive figures stood in the vast plaza in front of the palace.

They are men dressed in Hanfu, with a sinister and strategist-like demeanor.

A general with a resolute demeanor, clad in silver-gray armor.

And the mysterious corpse driver who was completely shrouded in a wide cloak.

However, the figure surrounded by the three of them was the most eye-catching.

The black iron armor was cold and sturdy, with a ferocious tiger head on its chest, its mouth wide open and sharp teeth showing.

Holding a halberd over 3 meters long, the cold light gleaming from its blade made Xu Ming feel the hairs on his body stand on end, even from a distance of over a thousand meters.

The figure exuded a visible blood-red aura, which was both the murderous aura formed after traversing endless battlefields and the resentment of countless souls who died at his hands. Xu Ming even saw countless wailing faces within it.

Just by standing there, the fierce aura he naturally exuded was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Even more terrifying is that this figure is headless, just like the legendary god of war Xing Tian!

Regardless of his character during his lifetime, this man named 'Lü Bu' truly deserves the title of 'God of War'.

Despite being thousands of meters apart, Lü Bu seemed to quickly notice Xu Ming's spying gaze.

"Humph!"

He let out a cold snort and stomped his halberd on the ground.

clang!

Xu Ming immediately heard a huge booming sound in his ears, as if a huge bronze bell had been moved next to him and struck hard, making his whole body numb and his head spin.

The shield attached to the Chaos Banner suddenly cracked like glass, with narrow fissures appearing, and it might shatter completely in the next second.

The cross on Xu Ming's chest immediately lit up, releasing a dazzling golden light, and the warmth quickly dispelled his discomfort.

Before he could fully recover, Lü Bu suddenly picked up his halberd and pointed it in their direction.

Woohoo!

The long, drawn-out bugle call sounded again.

A strange cavalry unit appeared out of nowhere and charged rapidly toward the city gate where Xu Ming and his group were.

The reason this cavalry unit was considered strange was that they were all covered by a single wolf skin, with their heads fitting inside the wolf's head, making them look like upright walking wolves.

Their mounts were even stranger; they were giant wolves the size of calves.

These giant wolves were not only incredibly fast, but also had a ferocious appearance. Their wide-open mouths constantly spewed out puffs of white mist, and their sharp teeth sent chills down one's spine.

This peculiar wolf rider is none other than the famous Xiliang Wolf Riders under Lü Bu's command!

Normally, even if they are called wolf riders, they actually ride warhorses.

But after this group of Xiliang wolf riders were destroyed and entered the underworld, they became even more powerful and terrifying.

The Xiliang wolf riders moved with incredible agility through the city of Xiapi, their giant wolves seemingly impervious to gravity.

They might walk through the streets, or leap directly onto rooftops and jump around on them.

The Xiliang wolf cavalry seemed to have no concept of 'obstacle'.

Before long, they had approached the city gate where Xu Ming was located.

Chapter 733 Fierce Battle Against the Xiliang Wolf Riders

A chilling glint flashed in the Beast of the End's large, light-bulb-like eyes.

The next second, countless sharp ice spikes suddenly sprouted from the ground in front of the Xiliang Wolf Cavalry, densely packed like barricades pointing towards them.

Those sharp, gleaming points would probably turn you into a beehive on the spot if you just hit them.

The sudden appearance of the defensive trap did not alarm the Xiliang wolf cavalry.

They skillfully maneuvered their giant wolves, leaping onto rooftops or circling around them, nimbly dodging the icicles ahead.

Their incredibly agile movements left everyone stunned.

Perhaps they felt they were losing face.

"Humph!"

The Beast of the End let out a cold snort from its nostrils.

It suddenly opened its mouth and blew hard forward.

A biting wind howled and swept forward, and a blizzard struck again, carrying countless ice spears and arrows, lurking with deadly intent.

However, these Xiliang wolf riders, clad in wolf skins, seemed to be more resistant to the cold than ordinary ghost soldiers.

The frigid cold did nothing to slow their movements.

The ice arrow deflected immediately upon hitting the soft wolf pelt.

Only sharp, thick ice spears could pose a slight threat to them, but the knights on the wolf's back, though dead, were not fools.

With a clang, they drew their scimitars and swung them in a dense, impenetrable formation in front of them. Occasionally, a few slipped through the net, piercing their bodies through the flashing blades, but they did not pause, continuing to swing their scimitars.

Even when the ice spears hit them squarely on the head, they remained upright on the wolves' backs, brandishing their scimitars.

Unless the ice spear hits the giant wolf's leg joint, causing the wolf to lose its balance and roll over, it will not be able to throw the wolf rider on its back to the ground.

Parker unleashed a fierce attack, yet the Thousand-Rider Xiliang Wolf Riders only lost a few dozen riders. The remaining wolf riders leaped over obstacles and the ruins of houses to charge towards Xu Ming and his group above the city gate.

Xu Ming was surprised to find that these wolf riders really seemed to have no weight.

Once they reached the foot of the city wall, the giant wolf extended its sharp claws and began to climb upwards at a speed almost as fast as it would on flat ground, its agile climbing posture as swift as a cheetah.

"Erina!"

Xu Ming quickly called out.

From their current position atop the city wall, it wouldn't be easy for them to attack the wolf riders who were climbing the wall.

"Leave it to me!"

Erina confidently brushed her hair back, the golden strands reflecting a dazzling luster.

She slowly raised her hand and made a downward pressing motion.

Rumble!

The surrounding earth trembled violently, and the city walls shook as well.

The city wall was already covered with thick frost, and now it began to shake violently. The giant wolves clinging to the wall immediately fell off like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"Motor! Motor!"

Erina covered her mouth with her hand and giggled, her laughter full of smugness and pride.

She raised her hand, her slender, fair palm seemingly glowing with a pearly light, but the next second, that hand transformed into the hand of death.

With a rumbling roar, several large bulges suddenly appeared on the top of the city wall, and the next second, scorching lava gushed out from them and flowed down the city wall.

The wolf riders had just fallen off the city wall. Even though they were ghost soldiers and wouldn't die from the fall, they were still left with broken arms and legs and unable to move. Immediately afterward, scorching lava poured down on them.

Many wolf riders were instantly incinerated by the lava.

The wolf riders who managed to escape immediately turned their wolves around and hid at a distance.

The very few lucky ones who managed to climb the city wall were too few in number to pose a threat to Xu Ming and his men, and were quickly wiped out.

At this moment, the figures in the city square saw that Xu Ming and his group had so easily wiped out the Xiliang wolf riders they had trained for so long, and their expressions changed drastically.

The man dressed as a strategist pushed up his crystal glasses and looked at the silver-armored general beside him with a smile.

"General Gao Shun, our great cause is not yet accomplished, and a powerful enemy has descended upon Xiapi. Now we need you to make the necessary sacrifice."

The man who could utter such cold words with a smile was none other than Chen Gong, the strategist whom Lü Bu relied on.

Despite being ordered to die, the general in silver-gray armor showed no resistance whatsoever, not even a flicker of emotion, as if he were a cold, hard stone.

He silently stepped forward, seemingly indicating to Chen Gong that they could begin.

"I will remember your great righteousness!"

Chen Gong chuckled and bowed with his hands clasped.

At this moment, the mysterious man in the cloak on the side seemed to have had enough.

She suddenly threw off her cloak.

That's right, the mysterious corpse driver wasn't him, but her.

She had short, silver-gray hair and was around thirty years old. Her curvaceous figure exuded a mature and alluring charm, yet she was also full of agility and strength, like a beautiful female leopard.

Her delicate and petite face exudes a heroic spirit that rivals that of any man.

She was wearing a black suit of armor, and judging from the style, it should have been made by the same craftsman as the Xuan Tie Heavy Armor worn by Lü Bu.

Compared to Lu Bu's imposing and domineering heavy armor, her armor was exquisite and delicate, especially the lower edge of her skirt armor which revealed most of her fair and smooth thighs.

It is pleasing to the eye while ensuring both defense and flexibility.

It is a work of art that combines aesthetics and practicality.

"Strategist, they're just a few petty thieves. We can defeat them without Uncle Gao's sacrifice!"

The woman stated firmly.

Chen Gong showed no displeasure, still wearing a fake smile as he explained:

“Young lady, you are unaware of the situation. I observed that these individuals are all quite skilled. Ordinary ghost soldiers would probably be no match for them. They are likely scouts sent by Cao Cao's army to investigate. It would be best to eliminate them as soon as possible to prevent the news from leaking and affecting the lord's grand plan.”

The eldest daughter of Lü Bu's family was only one, naturally the remarkable Lü Lingqi, a woman who was no less capable than any man.

Chen Gong's words seemed reasonable and convincing, but Lü Lingqi just couldn't agree with them.

“Uncle Gao was my father’s most loyal general. My father was counting on him to retrain the Trapped Camp. Even if he had to be sacrificed, it didn’t necessarily have to be Uncle Gao.”

“Young Miss, General Gao Shun is the one with the strongest Yin energy besides our lord. Only with his sacrifice can we ensure the enemy is killed without any chance of failure.”

Chen Gong patiently explained.

"But the same applies to other generals..."

Chen Gong and Lü Lingqi argued endlessly, and finally both looked at the imposing and majestic man in the center, who seemed like a god of war incarnate.
