The subtlety of the Chinese language lies in the fact that occasionally scrambling the order does not affect understanding. When Lü Bu heard these words, his face turned red in an instant! He was a naturally proud person and could not bear to hear Li Yuanba's words. He immediately spurred his horse, Red Hare, and raised his Heaven-Facing Halberd to charge at Li Yuanba.
"This young brother's scolding is well-deserved!" These words struck a chord with Zhang Fei. He clapped his hands in approval behind Liu Bei. With his discerning eye, he had already seen that Li Yuanba was wielding real weapons, not wooden or paper ones. Anyone who could wield such heavy hammers was no ordinary warrior.
This young man is still so young, he may not be a match for Lü Bu. Duke Wenjie has treated us so well; we cannot let this young warrior die here! Liu Bei thought to himself, reaching for his double-edged sword and giving Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a meaningful look, planning to step in as soon as Li Yuanba showed any signs of weakness.
"State your name, for Lü Bu does not slay the nameless!" Lü Bu held his halberd with one hand, pointing it diagonally at Li Yuanba and shouting loudly, his voice resonating like a bell.
"I am Li Yuanba!" Li Yuanba's voice was even more powerful than Lü Bu's, like a thunderclap that made the onlookers' ears ring.
Such a young child to have such a voice, he is no ordinary person! First Guan Sheng, now Li Yuanba, how many mighty warriors does Duke Wenjie have! Cao Cao looked at Li You with envy, wishing these two could be under his command!
Ma Teng's eyes were wide open, staring intently at Li Yuanba, afraid to miss any detail! The faces of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were dark, their thoughts unknown.
As they spoke, Li Yuanba had already reached Lü Bu, looking up at him. Lü Bu, seeing the hoof prints behind Li Yuanba, felt a chill. From the depth of the hoof prints, he could tell the weight of Li Yuanba's hammers! This man's strength surpasses even mine; I cannot match him with brute force.
"Boy, take a hammer from your grandpa!" As he thought, Li Yuanba had grown impatient! Watching Lü Bu's battle at the gate had already made him itchy, and he had been eager to join in. Now, Lü Bu was taking his time, so Li Yuanba raised his right hammer and struck down like a dark cloud covering the sky!
Lü Bu dared not meet the blow head-on and quickly moved his horse aside. As the top warrior of the Three Kingdoms, he immediately recovered and thrust his halberd at Li Yuanba's side! Li Yuanba's left hammer blocked the halberd, and the two mighty warriors engaged in a fierce battle.
Lü Bu's halberd moved like a silver snake, a dragon emerging from the water, each strike aimed at Li Yuanba's vital points. Li Yuanba's two hammers were like meteors chasing the moon, a mountain pressing down, each blow aimed at Lü Bu's head! Both were unparalleled warriors, riding the finest steeds, and their battle was intense, captivating the hearts of the generals on both sides.
This... this is the battle between unmatched warriors! The battles I saw on TV were nothing compared to this! Li You's mouth was wide open, deeply regretting that he didn't have a DV or a phone to capture this intense fight!
"Today I finally understand the heroism of General Fu Bo! Today I finally understand the heroism of General Fu Bo!..." Ma Teng's eyes were wide open, repeating this sentence over and over!
"Zhang Fei of Yan has never admired anyone! Today, seeing the martial arts of young brother Li Yuanba, I am truly impressed! It is rare for Lü Bu to hold out so long against Yuanba!" Zhang Fei's opinion of Lü Bu improved, and Guan Yu nodded slightly, showing approval.
"Yuanrang, Miaocai! If the two of you work together, can you match Li Yuanba?" Cao Cao, being naturally suspicious, even though he had gotten along well with Li You these past few days, did not forget to remind himself that they might meet on the battlefield in the future.
"This..." Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan exchanged glances, and finally, Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and said, "My lord, it would probably take my brother and I, along with Zixiao and Zilian, to hold this man for a moment!"
"What?!" Cao Cao couldn't help but be amazed. Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong could barely hold Li Yuanba! Who could stand against such a mighty warrior in battle?
"Unfortunately, my top generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not here! Otherwise, this brat would not have gained such a reputation!" Yuan Shao, watching the two warriors battle, said resentfully.
The surrounding warlords, such as Qiao Mao, Wang Kuang, Kong Rong, Gong Sunzan, and Sun Jian, couldn't help but think to themselves, why do you keep mentioning these two? Why didn't you bring them from Hebei? Even if Yan Liang and Wen Chou were combined, they probably wouldn't be a match for either of these two!
After more than ten more rounds, the onlookers began to feel uneasy! Both were unparalleled warriors, and any injury to either would be a regrettable loss!
"Second Brother! Let's go and separate them!" Zhang Fei raised his eighteen-foot spear and said to Guan Yu, who nodded and raised his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, ready to charge forward. Dong Zhuo, seeing the movement, immediately ordered his troops to go out and support.
"Everyone, calm down! From what I see, Yuanba has not used his full strength!" Li You suspected that his request to capture Lü Bu alive had made Li Yuanba hold back, prolonging the battle. From his impression of "Romance of the Sui and Tang," Li Yuanba had much more fighting power!
"Not using full strength!" Zhang Fei turned his head sharply, almost twisting his neck! Guan Yu's grip on his Green Dragon Crescent Blade tightened even more.
As they spoke, Li Yuanba had already figured out Lü Bu's halberd techniques. He was not just a brute; he had also studied superior martial arts under the Purple Yang Immortal! He feinted with his right hammer, causing Lü Bu to raise his halberd to strike at Li Yuanba's wrist.
But this was just a feint. Li Yuanba retracted his right hammer and struck his left hammer at the halberd! Lü Bu couldn't retract his move in time and had to grip his halberd with both hands to meet Li Yuanba's hammer.
There was a loud clang, and Lü Bu's hands felt as if they had been struck by lightning, numb and bleeding from the split tiger's mouth. His Heaven-Facing Halberd was knocked out of his hands by Li Yuanba's Drum Hammer, flying into the air and landing after a while.
Red Hare, sensing the situation, turned and ran back into the gate! Unfortunately, Li Yuanba's steed, Wanli Feng, was no ordinary horse. It neighed and chased after Red Hare. As the two horses crossed, Li Yuanba reversed his hammer and struck Lü Bu's waist with the handle of his right hammer! Lü Bu let out a cry of pain and fell off his horse.
Li Yuanba switched his hammer to his left hand, bent down, and grabbed Lü Bu's waist armor with his right hand, lifting him over his head. He shouted at Dong Zhuo on the gate, "Who dares to challenge me again!"
The faces of the generals on the gate turned ashen, and no one dared to respond!
