After returning to their camp, Lü Bu and Zhang Xiu were filled with resentment.
Zhang Xiu never expected that Zhao Yun would be so skilled, able to develop a new spear technique just by fighting alongside him.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, he knew in his heart that Zhao Yun's martial arts skills were too superb, and he simply could not compete with him.
"Fengxian, we'll still need you to fight Zhao Yun tomorrow!" Zhang Xiu said through gritted teeth.
Lu Bu nodded and said arrogantly, "Don't be afraid. Tomorrow you'll be watching from the sidelines as I slay Zhao Yun!"
Zhang Xiu's face was grim. He said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but his spear technique is somewhat strange and counters my Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear!"
Lu Bu pursed his lips but didn't say anything more.
Zhang Xiu was no match for Lü Bu to begin with, and Zhao Yun was initially suppressed by Zhang Xiu, so naturally he wouldn't take him seriously.
"By the way, have you heard anything about the soldiers you sent to raid the Yellow Turban army's supplies?" Suddenly, Lü Bu seemed to remember something and quickly asked Zhang Xiu.
Mentioning the Yellow Turban Army's provisions, Zhang Xiu was even more furious, and said in a deep voice, "We failed. Zhang Jiao was actually prepared!"
Lu Bu frowned and muttered, "Strange, how could Zhang Jiao have taken precautions in advance?"
Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "According to the scouts, the Yellow Turban rebels have reinforced their granaries a lot in recent days, which means they must have known in advance that we were going to attack them!"
"Damn it!" Lu Bu cursed under his breath, his face growing increasingly gloomy.
With Lu Bu's mind being that of a mere warrior, he naturally couldn't have thought of that, but Lai Fu was Lu Li's apprentice and knew the necessity of provisions.
The next day, Lü Bu led his troops to challenge the enemy, and Zhao Yun and Dian Wei accepted the challenge.
"Dian Wei, you cover me, I'll deal with him!" Zhao Yun ordered.
"good!"
Dian Wei grinned, revealing his white teeth.
"kill!"
Seeing Zhao Yun fighting alone without fear, Lü Bu excitedly said, "You are no match for me, both of you come at me together!"
Zhao Yun snorted coldly, bent his knees slightly, and instantly leaped into the air.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Zhao Yun spun around, his arms waving, causing the surrounding air to whistle, and a fierce and domineering aura emanated from him.
Lu Bu's expression changed. He looked at Zhao Yun in surprise and shouted, "You're courting death!"
Lu Bu roared, unleashing a terrifying aura, and swung his halberd at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's expression was solemn. He flipped his wrist, and the tip of his spear moved like a dragon, aiming straight for Lü Bu's throat.
Upon seeing this, Lü Bu sneered, his body suddenly stopped, and he shifted his feet slightly to dodge Zhao Yun's thrusting spear.
Zhao Yun's attack missed, but he remained calm. With a flick of his wrist, he swept his spear horizontally, aiming straight for Lü Bu's waist.
Upon seeing this, Lü Bu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly withdrew his attack to defend himself.
"clang!"
The halberd clashed with Zhao Yun's spear, producing a metallic clang.
When the two objects touched, a strong wind blew out, causing Zhao Yun's clothes to flutter loudly.
Zhao Yun felt a dull pain in his tiger's mouth and was shocked, thinking to himself how powerful Lü Bu was.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lü Bu forced Zhao Yun back several meters, then pounced on him, his halberd crashing down with a whooshing sound, moving at an extremely fast speed.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly raised his Cliff-Corner Spear to parry.
"Bang!"
Lu Bu used all his strength to slash fiercely at the cliff-corner spear. The immense force transmitted from the spear caused Zhao Yun's tiger's mouth to split open, and blood spurted out.
Zhao Yun endured the excruciating pain, took several steps to dissipate the force, and at the same time, gripped the butt of the spear with his right hand and swung it outwards, knocking Lü Bu back several steps. Then, he flashed around and circled behind Lü Bu.
Zhao Yun gripped the Cliff Spear with one hand and the Fangtian Halberd with the other, pulling it up forcefully while simultaneously kicking out with his left foot.
"Thump!"
Lu Bu was kicked and staggered by the sudden attack.
Zhao Yun seized the opportunity and exerted his strength!
Lu Bu's face was contorted with rage. He hadn't expected Zhao Yun to be so difficult to deal with. After suffering repeated setbacks, intense anger rose in his heart. With a roar, the muscles in his arms bulged and the veins stood out as he suddenly broke free from Zhao Yun's control.
"Boom!"
Then, Lü Bu gave Zhao Yun a sudden shove, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.
Zhao Yun had just been caught off guard by Lü Bu's series of actions, and now, after being thrown away, his face was flushed, he felt his blood surging, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Zilong!"
Dian Wei rushed over and helped Zhao Yun up, looking at him with concern and asking, "Are you alright?"
"Cough cough... I'm fine!" Zhao Yun shook his head, staring at Lü Bu, and muttered, "This Lü Bu is indeed not simple!"
From the exchange just now, Zhao Yun had already realized that Lü Bu was very strong, far stronger than himself.
Lu Bu looked at Zhao Yun coldly and said, "I told you, you two will come at me together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his aura grew stronger and stronger, as if he had transformed into a ferocious beast, ready to devour anyone who might be caught in his path.
"kill!"
With a roar, Lü Bu charged forward, his halberd slashing down.
Zhao Yun's expression was solemn as he swiftly thrust out his Cliff-Corner Spear.
"bite!……"
The two weapons clashed violently, and bursts of true energy surged forth.
Zhao Yun grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. He sensed that Lü Bu's strength was growing stronger and stronger, and each clash brought him immense shock.
In particular, Lu Bu's ferocious, beast-like attacks forced Zhao Yun to deal with them with extreme caution.
"Hahaha, that's great!"
Lü Bu threw his head back and laughed loudly.
"Zilong, don't panic, I'm here to help you!" Dian Wei shouted, brandishing his double halberds as he charged forward.
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun coordinated their attacks, flanking Lü Bu from the left and right, and gradually gained the upper hand.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Lü Bu snorted coldly. He hadn't expected that Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, working together, could suppress him.
At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and the halberd suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, with mysterious patterns covering its blade.
The halberd traced an arc in the air, charging towards Zhao Yun and Dian Wei with fierce power.
"Sixth move, domineering and unstoppable!"
When Zhao Yun and Dian Wei saw Lü Bu's move, their expressions changed slightly, because they sensed danger from Lü Bu's attack.
"kill!"
The two roared in unison, slashing down with their weapons in an attempt to block Lü Bu's attack.
"Bang! Bang!"
The halberd clashed with the two other weapons once more, the immense force causing all three to stagger back several steps.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei steadied themselves and charged forward again.
Lu Bu sneered and swept his halberd horizontally, blocking the two men's attacks.
Then came another move that swept through the enemy ranks.
"Whoosh!"
The halberd streaked through the air, leaving a trail of afterimages, and hurtled towards Zhao Yun and Dian Wei with a whistling sound.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei sensed the threat of this attack and quickly retreated, trying to avoid it.
Unfortunately, it was too late; Lu Bu's attack had already arrived.
"Zilong, watch out!"
