Chapter 116 – Turning Point at Jinyang - Part 7
The aura that Tong had tried to rouse before seeped out from his body . It was not as strong as the first time he used it against Lu Bu the other day, but Tong could sense it .
Tong pointed the muzzles of his guns toward Lu Bu and fired both of them without caring if Lu Bu would die from the bullets .
*BANG* *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*
Three bullets were ricocheted by Lu Bu’s unique designed iron armor, but one bullet penetrated his left arm which was holding his halberd .
The sudden pain made Lu Bu turned around and gazed at Tong, who was standing in front of the entrance door of the government hall building .
The situation outside already subsided as all raiders were killed . However, the garrison troops dare not enter the hall because of the killing intent from Tong and Lu Bu .
"That sorcery again... I hate that coward way of fighting . "
"I also hate your fighting style . "
*BANG* *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*
Tong fired his pistols as he aimed at Lu Bu’s vital spots .
On the other side, Lu Bu swung his halberd with his uninjured right arm and deflected the majority of bullets that came for him .
*WHOOSH*
One of the bullets grazed his neck . It cut his minor blood vessels, which leaked out red liquid from his neck .
"No more playing catch! Now die!"
Lu Bu kicked the ground and disappeared from Tong’s sight .
Although Tong could not see Lu Bu’s movements, he sensed a signature of a living being coming at him from his left side .
Tong leaped toward his right and turned left with both his guns pointing forward . He fired again without confirming the target .
*BANG* *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*
The bullets pierced Lu Bu’s chest armor and bit into his flesh . However, they were too shallow .
The crescent halberd made a half-moon arc and slashed passed Tong’s both extended arms that were holding the dual guns . Two arms were lopped off!
More after images slashed Tong’s legs and torso . Blood gushed out all over the place .
Tong did not panic this time . Instead, his killing intent continued to grow .
Both of his lost arms regenerated . His injuries kept healing to counter the incoming attacks non-stop . Tong pulled out his lucky charm from his inventory . It was the grenade that Tong kept it with himself for over a year .
’Thank you for staying with me for all these times . Goodbye . ’
Tong pulled the pin and jumped at Lu Bu as if he was a suicide bomber .
"If you die from this, you suck!"
*BOOM*
The grenade exploded at point blank . Fragments and shrapnel were pushed by the explosive forces and scattered in every direction .
Lu Bu felt as if he was hit by a sledgehammer at his chest . Several pieces of shrapnel got through his iron armor and dug themselves into his flesh . His body was knocked back into the air .
By instinct, Lu Bu regained his balanced in mid-air . His feet tapped on the ground lightly and staggered backward five steps . Then he came to a pause .
His chest armor was charred black and torn to shred . Blood dripped out from the numerous wound behind his wrecked armor . Both his arms were still intact, but small wounds could be seen everywhere . His tights and legs were in a better condition, but they were shaking as the force of the explosive shook his innards and nerve system .
Meanwhile, the explosion blasted away a large portion of Tong’s bowel and tore his left arm . Tong did not wait . He regenerated his lost flesh in an instant .
’I forgot . All suicidal actions can override my physical immune passive . ’
Tong was immune to all physical attacks, but he could still be harmed if he intentionally hurt himself, such as jumping off a tall building or cut himself . Throwing a grenade at himself also bypassed his immunity skill .
Because of the explosion, Tong had sparked another idea for combatting Lu Bu and future war .
’I should have done this earlier . I’m so stupid . ’
Tong looked around the trace of the explosion . There were a small fire and smoke from the ground and the fragments of the grenade .
His rifle was lost when he fell down into this building . One of his three pistols was broken . The other two were on the ground with Tong’s severed arms .
Tong pointed his palm at Lu Bu who was struggling and dizzy from the sudden explosive noise and forces .
"[Create Food]! Give me some vegetable oil! Limit the amount to 1 liter!"
Slippery substance liquid appeared above the head of Lu Bu and rained down upon him . He was now soaked with oil!
"Fengxian! If you don’t want to die, stop what you are doing! We can still be friends in the future . Don’t make me do this!"
Tong threatened to kill Lu Bu even though he felt pity for him . He meant it when he said he did not want to do this .
Meanwhile, Lu Bu stopped all of his movement . He stared forward while he concentrated to regain his hearing and his sight from the dizziness . He stood still for 3 minutes before he could hear and see everything again .
Noticing that he was soaked with oil, Lu Bu glanced around himself . Small traces of fire and smoke, caused by the grenade, were in between Tong and himself as if they were the line that he could not cross .
"Sorcery again one after another, huh? You know what, Tong? I take back my words . I hate you now . You’re a coward like my master . "
"If you hate your master that much, why are you following his order?"
"I have to . But I don’t know why . "
Tong sighed . He glanced at the system menu option . The clock on the screen showed 9 . 10 AM .
’Five more minutes . ’
A sword was summoned from Tong’s inventory . Tong glared back at Lu Bu as if he got himself ready for another bout . Lu Bu also readied his stance and planned to make the next move .
The crowd of garrison guards already entered the hall and surrounded the two . However, none of them dare to attack Lu Bu or Tong as their killing intent vortex was still present .
Tong noticed this . He hesitated if he should use this chance to run away now or continue confronting with this God of War .
’If I run, everyone here will be killed . Lu Bu is a freak right now . ’
Tong sighed . Trying to protect others was tiring and it limited his options . If he were to run away, he could easily buy over 5 minutes of time for Lu Bu to regain his sense at the cost of these people’s lives .
’I don’t want these people dead . ’
’Welp! I’ll just troll Lu Bu till he’s sober . ’
...
Inside of Lu Bu’s mind, his thought was in a mess .
’He has good basic warfare tactics . I can’t cross those small fire line or I’m dead . ’
’But I can easily leap through those . He is still too naïve . ’
’Sorry, Tong . You have to die . ’
’But why am I trying to kill him again?’
As someone with a strong temperament and absurd mentality, Lu Bu had already sobered up from the hypnotized skill . He was in confusion about the reason behind his actions .
’This is stupid . There’s no reason to kill him to begin with!’
’He’s just pissing me off with those sorceries . You’re a man then fight like a man, Tong!’
’Argh! It’s that guy’s fault! He did something to me again!’
’Where’s that guy again? I have to kill him another thousand times!’
Lu Bu disregarded about Tong and turned around . He tried to walk toward the exit of the main government hall .
However . . .
"[Create Food]! Give me water!"
Like a firefighter who was handling a firehose with insane water pressure, clear water gushed out from Tong’s both palm and slammed into Lu Bu’s chest . The water pressure power made Lu Bu staggered backward .
"Shit! Tong, stop! I-oof!"
Before Lu Bu could finish his sentences, the water line hit his face and got into his mouth . Lu Bu was stunned by the impact of the water pressure .
Tong checked the surrounding . All the traces of fire and smoke were gone by the water . He began his next move .
"Don’t use the gen-Z words, Fengxian! Again, [Create Food]! Flood the floor with oil!"
A wave of oil flooded the government hall . The floor suddenly became slippery, and the surrounding soldiers lost their balance . They stumbled and collapsed on the ground, which destroyed their formation like falling dominos .
Lu Bu, who was stunned by the water jet, managed to regain his sight . However, he lost his footing because of the oil and slipped . He fell down on his knee .
"Tong! Stop using those sorceries! I’m-!"
"Yeet, [Create Food]! Water!"
Another water jet hit Lu Bu’s face before he could talk again . He lost his balance and fell onto his back .
Lu Bu attempted to get up, but he found out that he could not get any traction from the ground . The floor was too slippery, and he could not even plant his foot on the ground .
"Tong, Stop!"
"[Create Food]! Water!"
"Ugh! Sto-!"
"[Create Food]! Oil and water!"
"Idiot! I-"
"[Create Food]! Water!"
...
...
9 . 25 AM .
Tong was into the spell casting that he forgot the time . He went over the estimated time for 10 minutes . He managed to control himself after he heard the galloping sounds of horses from the outside .
Zhang Liao regained his consciousness 15 minutes ago when Tong flooded the main hall with water and oil . He rejoined the garrison force to organize the surrounding forces .
Li Feihong had been carried away from the main hall 10 minutes ago . He was being treated by government physicians .
Gao Shun and his small team of cavalries arrived at the main hall . He was shocked by the sight of the flooded building and the corpses in front of it .
He rushed toward the main hall in a panic, then he found Zhang Liao .
"Wenyuan, what has happened!?" Gao Shun asked .
Zhang Liao gave Gao Shun a bitter smile and pointed at the carnage scenes in front of them .
"The rumor about Zhang Tong being an immortal... was real . "
"What!?"
They had heard about the rumor of the Anping Battle before . They said that Tong could recover himself or was able to use sorceries and strange thunder magic .
Tong demonstrated all of them to Zhang Liao unknowingly during the fight against Lu Bu before Zhang Liao decided to help him stop his boss .
The aftermath of the battle between Tong and Lu Bu was the best proof for this .
Gao Shun looked around . Lu Bu was still lying on the ground in exhaustion while Tong stood tall in a perfect condition . Gao Shun did not need someone to tell of the result of the fight .
’I saw Zhang Tong left the city gate myself . How did he come here before me?’
Gao Shun was the only general in Ding Yuan army who did not know about Li Feihong’s abilities . As a result, he was baffled by many things that happened today .
...
...
Lu Bu groaned and sat up . Tong finally stopped attacking him, so he could get a room for breathing .
The tattered God of War glared at Tong with blood-shot eyes . Then he screamed .
"TONG! YOU STUPID PIECE OF @#$%##@#$!!"
His words could not be comprehended by ordinary humans anymore .
