"Hahaha, I, Zhang Jiao, beg you, great man, to die!"

This sound resounded throughout the universe, even reaching the Jade Emperor in the heavens above, who sighed and said, "Alas, what a pity about Zhang Jiao."

Lin Zhu naturally saw the scene of two dragons soaring in the sky, and thought, "It's coming."

Then, the yellow dragon charged toward the red dragon with a death-defying attitude, and the heavens and earth trembled.

Unfortunately, although the Han Dynasty's fortunes were declining, it was not something that the emerging Yellow Turban Rebellion could easily challenge.

The moment it collided with the red dragon, the yellow dragon completely disintegrated, and the immortals in the Southern Continent felt a deafening roar.

Inside Julu City, Zhang Jiao spewed out large plumes of blood mist from his mouth, leaning against the table, his face a mixture of crying and laughing.

"It's finally done."

However, the good fortune that the Yellow Turban Army had accumulated over the years vanished overnight, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion failed.

On the other side, although the Red Dragon was not seriously injured by the Yellow Dragon's collision, the fortunes of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty were completely destabilized.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong was naturally affected by the dramatic fluctuations in the dynasty's fortunes.

"Ah~" he cried out, feeling a splitting headache, "It hurts so much!"

His eyes bulged out, and he spat out a mouthful of blood mist before losing consciousness.

Zhang Rang, who was serving nearby, was first shocked when he saw this, then terrified, and then shouted loudly, "Quickly, quickly summon the imperial physician! Quickly summon the imperial physician!"

He was extremely fast and managed to catch Liu Hong.

He clearly possessed martial arts skills, and his strength was considerable.

As the Yellow Turban Rebellion's fortunes collapsed, Zhang Jiao also ran out of energy and died not long after.

The imperial army then swept through the rebellion and largely quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Liu Hong recovered as a result, but his health deteriorated day by day.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, the nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall also reached their final point of attack, invading Bingzhou from east of Yanmen Pass.

Just then, Zhang Miao was on patrol when he encountered a Hu (non-Han) army just outside Yunzhongjun City.

When the group of men was rammed by the Hu cavalry, Zhang Miao was exposed and died in an instant.

In this situation, the official seal of the governor of Bingzhou was useless to the Hu people.

After killing Zhang Miao, the Hu people quickly launched an offensive against Yunzhong City.

After looting and obtaining a large amount of money and food, they quickly withdrew outside the pass before the garrison arrived.

The battle lasted for half a month, and the number of casualties in Yunzhong City was no less than 100,000, with cries of despair everywhere.

However, compared to the casualties of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the deaths of 100,000 civilians were insignificant.

After plundering the Han people, a large number of Hu people fled far beyond the pass, thus easing the burden on the border defenses of Yanmen Pass.

Seeing this, the general guarding Yanmen Pass felt that Lü Bu posed a threat to him, so he began to subtly try to get them to leave.

Lu Bu showed no reluctance and returned to Jiuyuan City with Zhang Liao, the others, and a group of local militia.

During the Yanmen Pass campaign, 30% of the local militia brought from Jiuyuan City were killed in battle.

But Lü Bu brought back the pensions and distributed them to the families of the fallen soldiers, including his own share.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were arranged by Lü Bu to stay in another courtyard.

At this time, it had been a year since Lin Zhu took over Hongchang and returned.

The next day, Lü Bu came alone to express his gratitude.

"I have met you, sir."

"Fengxian, you're too polite." Lin Zhu invited Lü Bu into the courtyard.

Lu Bu cupped his hands and said, "I am very grateful to you for taking care of my wife and daughter during my absence."

Lin Zhu nodded, accepting Lü Bu's gratitude, and then said, "Fengxian's visit must not be as simple as just expressing gratitude, right?"

“Indeed.” Lü Bu was quite generous and explained the reason, “My strength has greatly improved during my time at the border, but I am still lacking a crucial opportunity to break through. I need pressure. At present, I feel that only you, sir, can give me such pressure. I ask you to grant my request.”

As he spoke, he bowed to Lin Zhu.

As expected, Lin Zhu did not hesitate at all and said, "Then let's go out of the city and fight."

Lü Bu was overjoyed, "Please!"

"Are you leaving?" Upon hearing this, Yuegui quickly appeared in front of them. "Little Bamboo, don't even think about leaving me behind."

As he spoke, he transformed into a silver-blue light and disappeared into Lin Zhu's body.

Lu Bu was taken aback by this scene and looked at Lin Zhu, asking, "Sir, what is this!"

Lin Zhu explained, "She is the incarnation of a fairy from the moon palace, and cannot be too far away from me."

Lu Bu suddenly realized, "I know there are immortals and gods in the heavens, but I've never seen them before. I never expected to find one right beside me. If that's the case, could it be the fairy Chang'e?"

He's not actually stupid, he's just sometimes too lazy to think.

Lin Zhu smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

Lü Bu understood the implied meaning and didn't ask any further questions.

After stepping out of the courtyard, he asked, "May I have my brothers watch the battle with me?"

"It's alright." Lin Zhu nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Lü Bu passed by a courtyard and summoned Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and the other eight men.

Gao Shun is not among the Eight Generals; now we are only missing Zang Ba.

Zang Ba was recruited by Lü Bu when he was in Xuzhou.

Lin Zhu looked at the eight people; Wei Xu had met them before.

Zhang Liao is easy to recognize; he's the one with the best strength, and compared to Lü Bu, he's also a bit more refined.

Gao Shunze was a cold-faced man who rarely smiled.

The other five were unremarkable.

Lü Bu introduced them to Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu simply nodded to them and then left Jiuyuan City together.

Ten thousand miles outside Jiuyuan City, Lü Bu looked at Lin Zhu and asked, "What weapon do you use, sir?"

Although Lin Zhu did not intend to use his military skills to seek humiliation, he could still use the Crimson Dragon Silver Spear, so he revealed it, saying, "Use this weapon, please!"

After being modified by Lin Zhu, the Crimson Dragon Bright Silver Spear was equivalent to a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, but it was much harder.

Lu Bu recognized the extraordinary quality of the spear. "I am skilled in mounted combat, please forgive me."

The next moment, his blood and qi transformed into a horse, charging towards Lin Zhu.

This was the first time Lin Zhu had ever seen blood and qi transform into a horse, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Lu Bu came with overwhelming force, as if he were surrounded by a monstrous momentum, exuding immense pressure.

Lin Zhu felt enveloped by an extremely powerful force, which greatly restricted his movements.

If this were a normal second-level law practitioner, they would have to confront Lü Bu head-on.

Chapter 852 Inhuman

Lin Zhu could dodge, but he didn't intend to.

Wielding the Crimson Dragon Silver Spear, he struck upwards with a single upward thrust, unleashing his physical power. A flash of red light appeared as he exchanged dozens of blows with the charging Lu Bu in an instant.

The sound of weapons clashing was deafening.

The spear is drawn like a dragon, and its sound is like a dragon's roar; the halberd is swung like a tiger, and its sound is the same as a tiger's howl.

It was a fierce battle.

Although Lü Bu carried an unstoppable momentum, Lin Zhu handled it with ease, each move as graceful as a gazelle leaping over horns, completely neutralizing the Fangtian Halberd's attacks.

Occasionally, he would swing his halberd aside and suddenly thrust his spear at Lü Bu's weakness, the spearhead flashing with a cold light, seemingly intent on taking Lü Bu's life.

Lu Bu felt the pressure and tried his best to resist. Under such a huge advantage in momentum, he was knocked back several steps, and the horse formed from his blood and qi almost collapsed under this attack.

"You are indeed very strong." Instead of being discouraged, his eyes shone even brighter.

Lin Zhu laughed and said, "Now it's your turn, Fengxian, to take the challenge." With that, the dragon pattern on the Crimson Dragon Silver Spear flashed, and a Crimson Dragon flew out.

With a turn of the spear tip, a spiraling force suddenly arose, and a whirlwind wrapped around the spear, with a crimson dragon coiling around it.

Lu Bu's gaze turned solemn. "Drink!" He sensed the aura of death in this move, and the pressure he was about to face was unimaginable.

With a flick of his tongue, he swallowed the Six-Turn Golden Elixir hidden beneath his tongue.

Under such immense pressure, he sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough; the Six-Turn Golden Elixir was the fuel.

His entire body erupted with bloodthirsty power, a blood-red flying tiger flew out from his halberd, and the ghostly battle spirits manifested behind him, pushing his combat power to the limit.

"Come on!" he roared at Lin Zhu, his fierce power overwhelming.

Zhang Liao and his men had retreated thousands of miles away long ago, hovering in the air, their expressions equally solemn.

"I never imagined that besides the general, there would be such a powerful person in our Han Dynasty."

Zhang Shun said coldly, "Wen Yuan's words are inappropriate. That Mr. Lin is far stronger than the general. I can sense that he still has a lot of powerful energy that he hasn't unleashed yet."

"Impossible!" Wei Xu and the other six refused to believe it. "The general has already reached his limit. We don't believe that this Mr. Lin could be so strong. Isn't he inhuman?"

At this moment, Lü Bu's momentum had reached its peak, but it had not yet reached its limit.

Lin Zhu knew that he wanted to break through by using pressure, so he also wanted to help him achieve his goal, and the Golden Ape Dharma Image immediately appeared.

"Roar~" The golden ape held a spear, and the red dragon's size increased hundreds of times, just enough to confront the ghost god battle spirit.

Thus, Lü Bu faced even greater pressure, and the aura of death grew stronger.

He roared incessantly, frantically devouring the endless bloodthirsty energy in the world. His whole body was in excruciating pain, his eyes were bloodshot, and his veins bulged all over his body.

A crimson aura erupted around him, rising like flames.

Faced with the constant pressure from Lin Zhu, he felt he had reached his limit and took the initiative to attack.
