Chapter 117: Guan Yu Comes to Rescue
Outputting too much and replying too little will eventually exhaust you.
"No! There’s still the final five rounds, I must hold on! Otherwise, everything will be in vain," Long Chen silently recited in his heart.
"Since I can restore my strength with the earth spirit qi, why not use the kite tactic in the final moments!"
Thinking quickly, Long Chen gathered the body of the Thunder Dragon with the spear tip, while urging the Jade Lion to flee.
Continuously restoring his own stamina with the earth spirit qi.
Seeing Long Chen fleeing, Lu Bu no longer hesitated and frantically activated his own summoned beast.
"Long Chen! You can’t escape!!"
Boom—
A monstrous beast, covered in lava, suddenly surged from the depths of the earth, with a huge horn towering towards the sky on its forehead.
Dark golden light shot out from its indifferent eyes, shattering the ground wherever it passed.
However, the beast only revealed half of its body before ceasing its movement.
And Lu Bu, sweating coldly, trembled slightly, indicating that summoning this beast required tremendous physical exertion.
On the city wall, the players were almost fainting with excitement at Long Chen’s dazzling performance...
"Brothers! What did I just witness?! Sword Wind actually fought the top warrior to a draw!!"
"This... this is simply unbelievable... how did he advance to this level in such a short time!?"
"Yeah, can someone tell me why??? Why is my strength only 43, while Sword Wind’s strength seems to have reached 104 already!!!"
"Oh my god!!!"
"If he weren’t the official’s own son, I wouldn’t recognize him!"
Although the silver-robed youth wasn’t as excited as the other players, the gleam in his eyes also revealed his excitement.
"I didn’t expect Sword Wind to have such strength! I, Lin, might as well join him."
The silver-robed youth thought to himself, subconsciously grasping the sword at his waist.
Meanwhile, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were inspecting the situation from afar.
After seeing Lu Bu’s terrifying power, a hint of dread flashed in Guan Yu’s narrowed phoenix eyes.
Although Long Chen could fight Lu Bu to a draw, for a top-tier warrior like him, there were signs that Long Chen was on the verge of defeat!
What’s more, the most confusing thing for Guan Yu was: Long Chen’s aura was extremely unstable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak...
In fact, Long Chen’s "Top-tier Warrior Experience Card" was about to expire.
Just like Ultraman fighting monsters, the time limit for usage was limited, and Long Chen only had a few minutes left.
And judging by Lu Bu’s posture, he seemed to be about to unleash a terrifying skill...
Given this,
Guan Yu rode on his horse, ready to rush over to support Long Chen at any time, after all, Long Chen’s trust in him before had left a deep impression. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
As for Zhang Fei, he stroked his steel beard under his chin and muttered:
"Big Brother, Second Brother, this Third-Rate Bum is unexpectedly formidable. When we fought just now, he didn’t even use such divine skills!"
Liu Bei looked at the fiery Lu Bu with fear, nodded, and tightened his grip on the twin swords in his hands.
He said, "Let’s be prepared to rescue General Long at any time! We must not let him suffer serious injuries!"
Although Long Chen had a considerable relationship with Guan Yu, which made him somewhat concerned, he must consider the overall situation.
Moreover,
If they could defeat the unrivaled Lu Bu, wouldn’t it shock the world, and their reputation soar even higher?
At that time, Liu Bei only needed to wave his hand to recruit a large number of strong and loyal players to his cause.
After all, players greatly admired the strong!
With thoughts of catching prey like a mantis stalking a cicada and unaware of the oriole behind, Liu Bei awaited for Long Chen to exhaust Lu Bu’s strength, seizing the opportunity to claim victory in the end.
On the grand battlefield, dust billowed and flowed...
The overwhelming demonic flames emitted by Lu Bu’s nameless blood-red beast clashed with the huge thunderous dragon shot out by Long Chen.
Due to Long Chen’s depleted stamina, the shadow of the Ninth Heaven Thunder Dragon he condensed appeared extremely illusory, with even his aura unstable.
He knew that his experience time was about to end...
He glanced at the experience card.
"Ding! [Top-tier Warrior Experience Card]Remaining time: 23 seconds!"
It’s over! freeweɓnovel.cøm
Long Chen gritted his teeth.
Suddenly,
The scorching hot waves emitted by Lu Bu directly knocked Long Chen dozens of zhangs away, and his body tumbled dozens of somersaults on the ground before gradually coming to a stop.
And his mount, the Jade Lion, was burned to death alive by the flames of Lu Bu’s Red Hare horse...
With a mournful cry, it turned into ashes.
The flames of Lu Bu’s Red Hare horse were enough to harm celestial meteorite iron from outer space, let alone a mere blue-level Jade Lion!
One hundred rounds...
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the SSS-level Hell Hidden Mission!"
"Now releasing rewards—Golden Lottery * 5"
Long Chen spat out blood, and in his mind came the cold metallic voice of the system.
The mission was finally completed...
But... his long-time companion, the Jade Lion, also met a tragic end.
It’s said that familiarity breeds affection. In their joint battles, Long Chen and the Jade Lion had developed deep emotions.
Their thoughts even reached the point of mutual understanding. As long as Long Chen wanted to launch a leftward attack, the Jade Lion would certainly charge to the left.
It had helped him a lot...
But now...
A trace of sadness emerged in his heart. He had intended to let the Jade Lion retire peacefully in the future, but now it had died on the battlefield.
Countless emotions finally turned into a sigh...
Alas...
Seeing through Long Chen’s situation, Lu Bu suddenly burst into a ferocious laugh, intending to cut off Long Chen’s head to intimidate the allied forces.
But at that moment, a virtual-turned-real divine beast, a Azure Dragon, suddenly plummeted.
Bang!
Lu Bu raised his halberd to defend, and after a burst of smoke dispersed, Lu Bu saw the figure before him clearly.
It was none other than Guan Yu, Guan Yunlong.
"So, you’re Guan Yu who killed Hua Xiong!?" Lu Bu said sharply.
"Indeed, it is I, Guan."
Guan Yu stroked his two-foot-long beard calmly.
Lu Bu had expected to be enraged by this, but unexpectedly, Lu Bu burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha!!! Well done killing him. I’ve long been annoyed by that guy.
Daring to claim to be as strong as me among my adoptive father’s army, it’s ridiculous.
Trash is just trash, dare to compare with gods!
Well done killing him!!"
Lu Bu said ferociously.
Guan Yu remained silent.
He just rode to Long Chen, who had fallen to the ground, and helped him onto his horse.
"General, be careful," Guan Yu said gently.
He still had feelings for Long Chen, who had stood up for him in front of all the feudal lords, which was a great kindness.
"Gratitude demands reciprocation when one’s benefactor is in trouble."
At this moment, Long Chen’s face was pallid, showing severe signs of physical exhaustion, with blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, presenting a grim appearance.
The effective time of the "Top-tier Warrior Experience Card" had also elapsed, and Long Chen’s martial strength had reverted back to 80.
Despite his injuries, Long Chen struggled to express his gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much for your assistance, Brother Yun."
"General, please focus on recuperating and refrain from speaking!" Guan Yu furrowed his brow. He could sense that Long Chen’s injuries were far from optimistic.
