Chapter 20

; The girl is having a seizure again, can't even get in...

【Lord...】Yan Liang's mind flashed back to the scene when he first joined Yuan Shao. Born into poverty, he and Wen Chou were not looked down upon by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao, who was known for gathering heroes from all over the world, looked at their tattered clothes and, without hesitation, took off his own brocade robe and bestowed his precious horse upon them.

At that moment, Yan Liang and Wen Chou swore that as long as they were alive, they would never let Yuan Shao come to any harm.

【I am still alive!】Yan Liang, who was severely injured, was glowing with bloodlight, and his wounds were rapidly healing. However, his eyes, which were bloodshot, were fixed on two people: his lord Yuan Shao and the one who defeated him, Lü Bu.

A massive and solid blood-colored light blade slashed toward Lü Bu.

"Clang!" Lü Bu deflected the light blade with his spear, and upon seeing Yan Liang, who was covered in blood and had bloodshot eyes, he felt a bit of admiration. His strength was enough to shatter the other's confidence, but the other had actually advanced to a higher realm.

"If you want to harm my lord, you'll have to step over my body first!" Yan Liang's eyes flashed with madness as he mounted his Azure Dragon horse and stood in front of Lü Bu.

"So that's your belief, is it?" Lü Bu looked at Yuan Shao in the distance, "You have a good subordinate! But he can't stop me!"

The moment Lü Bu spoke, Yan Liang instinctively felt fear, but the presence of Yuan Shao behind him made him disregard his own life.

"Thud!" Yan Liang's blood blade struck Lü Bu's halberd fiercely.

"Quite a force." Lü Bu held the halberd with one hand and pushed Yan Liang back with a counterforce, "Tell me your name, you have earned the right to know it."

"Yan Liang of Hebei!" Yan Liang said in a low voice.

Lü Bu transferred the halberd from his left hand to his right, and a golden-red light covered the halberd. The coiled dragon made of meteoric iron on the halberd seemed to come to life, spewing golden-red dragon flames.

On the other side, Yan Liang was also accumulating strength. He realized that if no one came to help within fifteen moves, he might die here. He could die, but his lord was right behind him.

"Kill!" Yan Liang roared and could no longer hold back, as Lü Bu's overwhelming aura continued to grow, he might lose the confidence to attack.

A storm of attacks, but Yan Liang only managed to strike five times before Lü Bu completely overpowered him, then a torrent of attacks rained down on Yan Liang's head like a storm.

There was no excessive light; Lü Bu instinctively wrapped every bit of his inner energy around his body, not wasting a single bit of strength, perfectly suppressing Yan Liang's counterattacks.

Ten moves, fifteen moves, twenty moves, twenty-five moves, thirty moves, Yan Liang only felt Lü Bu's attacks getting heavier, so heavy that he could no longer think of anything else, only to keep fighting to the death.

If he knew he had already withstood Lü Bu's thirty moves, he would be very shocked, but now he could only remember one thing: to hold on, and before he fell, no one could harm Yuan Shao.

"Too boring." After pushing Yan Liang back, Lü Bu finally found Yan Liang boring and placed his left hand on the halberd.

"Clang!" With a crisp sound, Yan Liang's blade shattered, and Lü Bu reversed the halberd and slashed upward.

Yan Liang struggled to retreat, but the tip of Lü Bu's halberd still grazed him, instantly splitting his already broken armor in half, leaving a huge wound from his chest to his waist.

"Brother!" Wen Chou, who rushed over, was about to tear up when he saw this scene. Yan Liang, who had fallen, smiled faintly at the sound of Wen Chou's voice and then slowly collapsed, never to rise again to fight Lü Bu with all his might.

"Ah!" Wen Chou went completely mad, and chaotic energy surged from his body, adding a blood-red glow to his originally pure golden inner energy.

"Brotherly loyalty?" Lü Bu looked at the charging Wen Chou thoughtfully. He was no longer at the level of merely projecting inner energy out of his body. Unlike others who were still thinking about how to break through, he had already planned out a complete method to break through the body's limits, allowing more people to achieve the state of inner energy projection. He wanted to create more experts to challenge himself.

If others knew this thought, they would definitely call Lü Bu a madman, but for this man who stood at the peak and looked down on all the heroes, it was just a game, a selection game to choose challengers. He firmly believed he would be the strongest warrior.

Wen Chou's frenzied attack lasted only five moves before being suppressed by Lü Bu. Even though he had achieved a qualitative leap in strength by reaching the state of inner energy projection, he still had a huge gap compared to Lü Bu.

"Second brother, and Zhang Fei?" After Chen Xi stabilized his troops, he curiously asked the general beside him, why didn't those two super experts show up with such a big commotion?

"Second brother and third brother went to support Lord Yuan." Liu Bei rode over, dressed in armor, "Thank you, Zichuan, for stabilizing the troops."

"Oh, no problem. We should hurry and drive out the night raiders from Dong Zhuo's forces, otherwise, if the camp is thrown into chaos, it will be troublesome." Chen Xi shrugged.

Liu Bei understood Chen Xi's meaning. This was the best time to show his strength and to connect with the various lords, demonstrating his powerful side to them. Liu Bei now not only had one of the best generals in the world but also one of the best elite forces.

"Zilong, take half of the infantry to protect the strategist! I will repel the enemy." Liu Bei said to the captain of the White Horse Irregulars, who was given to him by Gongsun Zan.

"What?" Chen Xi was taken aback, "You are Changshan Zhao Zilong?"

Chen Xi looked carefully at the captain beside Liu Bei under the moonlight. He was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, a broad face, and a dignified appearance, wearing silver-white armor, holding a sword in his left hand, and a bright silver spear in his right, riding a white horse.

"Have you heard of me, strategist?" Zhao Yun asked curiously.

"Is your horse the Night-Glowing Jade Lion?" Chen Xi looked curiously at the gentle white horse he had played with before.

"Yes." Zhao Yun nodded.

"Oh, okay, my safety is in your hands." Chen Xi smiled, thinking that Gongsun Zan probably didn't know he had such a powerful captain in his White Horse Irregulars.

"Rest assured, strategist, I will not let you come to any harm." Zhao Yun said solemnly.

"I have more confidence than you do." Chen Xi whispered, "Let's go to the central camp and see how our Lord Yuan is doing. I've already seen several different colored energy spheres. By the way, Zilong, what color is your energy?"

"Silver-blue." Zhao Yun smiled, not hiding his strength. If he hadn't known his duty, he would have run to the central camp with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to see Lü Bu.
