Transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms as Lu Bu: I Have a Pseudo-Apocalypse System

In their first encounter, the three brothers' combined attack failed.

Zhang Fei roared, and his eighteen-foot spear thrust out like a storm, striking seven times in quick succession, the spear shadows overlapping and enveloping Lü Bu's upper body.

Lu Bu wielded his halberd, its shadow swirling like a wheel.

With a series of clanging sounds, all seven spears were blocked.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Guan Yu dragged his blade and rose up, his Green Dragon Crescent Blade slashing upwards, aiming for Lü Bu's armpit—where the armor was joined and the defense was relatively weak.

But Lü Bu seemed to have anticipated this, and pressed his halberd downwards.

"clang!"

The swords and halberds clashed once again.

This time, Guan Yu finally saw Lü Bu's movements clearly: it wasn't a block, but a prediction. Before Guan Yu could even draw his sword, Lü Bu's halberd was already waiting there.

"How is this possible..." Guan Yu was shocked.

Liu Bei drew both swords simultaneously, one to stab the horse's eye and the other its leg, intending to wound Red Hare first.

Red Hare, incredibly agile, reared up to dodge the downward sword; at the same time, it tilted its head to avoid the upward sword. Lü Bu's halberd followed through, slashing down straight for Liu Bei's head.

Guan Yu quickly swung his sword to intercept.

"clang--"

The three forces collided.

Liu Bei's arm went numb from the shock, and he staggered back several steps. Guan Yu's sword strike faltered, and he felt a tightness in his chest. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Fei thrust his spear towards Lü Bu's back.

Without turning his head, Lü Bu thrust his halberd out from under his armpit.

This halberd strike was swift and cunning, hitting the spear shaft squarely.

With a "snap," Zhang Fei felt a spiraling force coming from the spear, and the eighteen-foot spear almost slipped from his hand.

The battle had lasted no more than three rounds.

Both sides' soldiers, going up and down the slope, were dumbfounded.

Although the Imperial Guard heavy cavalry knew their lord was valiant, they were still shocked to witness Lü Bu defeat three opponents single-handedly and still gain the upper hand.

Liu Bei's soldiers were terrified: they knew the martial prowess of the three generals; Zhang Fei could fight Cao Cao's generals single-handedly, Guan Yu had once slain Hua Xiong, and Liu Bei was also a master swordsman. The three of them together had driven Lü Bu away at Hulao Pass, but now they were being overwhelmed by him?

In the center of the battlefield, Lü Bu brandished his halberd and declared loudly, "Xuande, Yunchang, Yide, if this is all you've got, then you're doomed to lose today!"

Enraged, Zhang Fei roared, "Lu Bu, stop your arrogance! Behold my ultimate move!"

He suddenly spurred his horse, and the black horse charged forward. The eighteen-foot spear pierced out like a poisonous dragon, its tip trembling and creating three afterimages that stabbed at Lü Bu's face, throat, and chest.

This is Zhang Fei's deadly move, the Snake Shadow Triple Strike, which he has practiced diligently for many years.

Guan Yu attacked almost simultaneously, his Green Dragon Crescent Blade no longer pursuing power, but transforming into a streak of green light, sweeping along the ground towards Red Hare's forelegs. The blade's movements were unpredictable, its angle tricky, attempting to injure Lü Bu's warhorse first.

Liu Bei brought his two swords together and thrust them straight at the front, aiming to control the enemy rather than injure them.

The three brothers worked together seamlessly, launching a relentless offensive.

A glint of light flashed in Lü Bu's eyes.

With his Perception at its peak at 140 points, the three people's movements became slow and clear in his eyes. He could control the spear shadows, the trajectory of the blades, and the direction of the sword thrusts.

He moved.

Red Hare suddenly shifted half a step to the side, avoiding the blade sweeping from the ground.

The halberd slashed upwards, striking the true form of the eighteen-foot spear with pinpoint accuracy.

"clang--"

Zhang Fei felt an irresistible force coming from the spear. The eighteen-foot spear flew out of his hand, spun several times in the air, and "thudded" into the ground ten paces away.

At the same time, Lü Bu reached out with his left hand, grabbed the blade of Liu Bei's thrusting sword, and twisted it with tremendous force.

With a "crack," one of Liu Bei's swords was broken in two by Lü Bu.

The halberd swung back, its crescent blade resting against Liu Bei's neck.

A cold sensation came from his neck, and Liu Bei stiffened.

Time seemed to stand still.

The hillside and the slope were completely silent.

Zhang Fei stared wide-eyed at his empty hands, unable to believe it.

Guan Yu's phoenix eyes were filled with horror, and his Green Dragon Crescent Blade froze in mid-air.

However, it is only five.

The three brothers attacked together and were defeated.

"Big Brother!" Zhang Fei roared, about to rush forward.

Lu Bu's halberd twitched slightly, the blade pressed against Liu Bei's neck: "Take another step forward, and Liu Bei's head will fall to the ground."

Zhang Fei froze, his eyes bloodshot.

Guan Yu's hand gripping the sword had veins bulging, but he dared not make a move.

Lu Bu looked at Liu Bei and said calmly, "Xuande, you have lost."

Liu Bei's face turned ashen.

He glanced at the broken sword, then at his third brother's eighteen-foot spear on the ground, and finally at Lü Bu's sharp eyes, which were still visible through his mask.

lost.

Such a complete defeat.

At Hulao Pass, the three of them combined could at least fight Lü Bu to a draw, or even gain a slight advantage, forcing Lü Bu to retreat. Today, after only five rounds, their weapons were broken and their lives were in danger.

To what extent has Lü Bu's martial arts skill improved in recent years?

"Kill me if you must." Liu Bei closed his eyes. "Since I have been defeated, I have nothing more to say."

Lü Bu sheathed his halberd: "I have said before, if you are defeated, surrender and I will not kill surrendered generals."

Liu Bei opened his eyes and gave a bitter laugh: "Let me surrender to you? Absolutely not."

He suddenly straightened his neck, about to crash into the halberd blade.

But Lü Bu reacted even faster.

The halberd flipped instantly, striking Liu Bei on the shoulder with its shaft.

With a muffled thud, Liu Bei was knocked off his horse and fell to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"Brother!" Guan Zhang cried out in alarm.

Lu Bu spurred his horse forward, pointing his halberd at Liu Bei: "Want to die? Not so easy. If you die, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will surely avenge you. I'll kill them both then, so the three of you brothers can reunite in the underworld. How about that?"

Liu Bei was startled.

Lü Bu continued, "If you surrender, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can live, and your five thousand soldiers can live. If you don't surrender, they will all die. Xuande, you claim to be benevolent, can you bear to let so many people die with you?"

"You..." Liu Bei's eyes widened, "Despicable!"

Lu Bu sneered: "I will count to three. If you do not answer, I will first kill Guan Yu, then Zhang Fei, and finally slaughter all the soldiers who are willing to follow you."

"one!"

"Lu Bu, how dare you!" Zhang Fei roared.

"two!"

Guan Yu's hand gripping the sword trembled, his phoenix eyes fixed intently on Lü Bu.

Looking at his two sworn brothers and then at the soldiers who had followed him for many years on the hillside, Liu Bei felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

Surrendering would be a betrayal of the Han Dynasty and of my lifelong aspirations.

If we don't surrender, my second and third brothers will die, and many of my trusted guards who are willing to live and die with me will also die...

"three!"

"I surrender!" Liu Bei shouted hoarsely, tears streaming down his face. "I surrender, but only me. Let my second and third brothers and the soldiers go!"

Lü Bu shook his head: "If you want to surrender, then surrender. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both exceptionally skilled in martial arts, just what the court needs. As for these soldiers, those who wish to join the army will be incorporated into the court's army, and those who do not will be paid and sent home."

He paused for a moment: "This is my final condition. If you do not agree, then we will all perish together."
