FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Little ferret!"

Seeing this, Lü Bu kicked the white giant snake away and, with both legs exerting force, charged like a cannonball between Diao Yunshang, Chen Gong, and Durga's treasures.

Seeing the critical situation, Musashi, who had been secretly accumulating magical power, instantly activated his Noble Phantasm: Six Paths, Five Wheels - Kurikara Tenshō.

"Namo, Tenman Mahesvara Deva—use sword energy to sever its aura!"

The giant Fudo Myo-o appeared, and it was too late to save Diao Yunshang and the others. Musashi decisively chose to "besiege Wei to rescue Zhao" and targeted Durga with his attack.

Durga initially looked down on Musashi, but after seeing the Fudo Myoo behind Musashi, Durga began to think that he might get hurt.

Musashi hastily drew four divine weapons from his Noble Phantasm for defense, blocking the first four strikes of Fudo Myo-o. However, the most threatening strike of Musashi's Noble Phantasm had not yet been unleashed.

"This strike is my path to emptiness, my very life! Ishana, the Great Celestial Phenomenon—!"

Was that cut fast?

It happened quickly, but it wasn't impossible for a god to dodge it. However, even though Durga made a dodging motion, he felt that he would still be hit.

This is the power of Musashi's Heavenly Eye.

The Heavenly Eye is regarded as "the power to achieve one's goals." Once it decides to accomplish something, it will devote itself wholeheartedly to it, ensuring that the goal will definitely be achieved.

Musashi only uses it for things like "cutting this spot," which would be the most reasonable strike.

Nothing superfluous, a single strike that subdues time and space, solely to shrink what should have been an infinite future into a single outcome: "the target is struck."

And so, with a swift stroke of the blade, the god fell!

On the other side, although Durga had taken away four divine artifacts, six of his treasures still bombarded down with earth-shattering power.

Despite knowing that its effect would be limited, Chen Gong still released a magic barrier to try his best to resist. As expected, the six divine artifacts were only blocked for a second before continuing to fall.

Faced with the attack of the gods, Lu Bu, being human, felt no fear. At this moment, in his eyes, the six divine weapons in Durga's treasure were like the six fierce generals who had fought against him outside Xiapi City: Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Han Hao, and Zhang Fei.

Back then, he failed to escape the encirclement, and his daughter was brutally murdered by the enemy. Was he going to repeat the same mistake this time?

Do not!

Even if it means my own death, I will protect her.

With no time to unleash his powerful artifacts, Lü Bu only had time to summon Red Hare. With the enhancement of Chen Gong's magic, the two of them hovered in mid-air, blocking the attacks of the six divine weapons.

The first weapon was Vishnu's ring blade. Without hesitation, Lü Bu swung his halberd. His goal was not to shatter the divine weapon, but to change its trajectory. Therefore, using his rich combat experience, Lü Bu knew how to cleverly counter it.

Even with a clever trick, a divine weapon is still a divine weapon, and Lu Bu still had to use almost all his strength to deflect Vishnu's ring blade.

There was no time to catch one's breath, as the second divine weapon—Indra's Thunder—roared in.

Lu Bu swung his halberd again, striking Indra's lightning from the side with a sweeping angle, his aim still being to change its trajectory.

Crunch-!

The trajectory of Indra's thunder deviated, but the halberd emitted a distorted sound.

Before he could think any further, the third divine weapon had already reached his face.

Lu Bu thrust out his already bent halberd, completely destroying it and deflecting the divine weapon away.

Drawing two short halberds from his waist, Lü Bu displayed his superb horsemanship as a native of Wuyuan when facing the fourth and fifth divine weapons.

With one foot on the stirrup and the other around the reins, he thrust forward with two short halberds, altering the trajectory of one of the divine weapons, while simultaneously maneuvering Red Hare to raise its hind legs and kick the other divine weapon.

Sorry, old friend.

At the cost of completely destroying two short halberds and one of the hind legs of his horse Red Hare, Lü Bu miraculously changed the trajectory of the two divine weapons once again.

However, the miracle ended there; there are times when human power is ultimately insufficient.

The sixth divine weapon, which was originally supposed to be the most terrifying divine weapon that Durga's Noble Phantasm would unleash at the end, was Shiva's trident. Even Lu Bu in his full power had no confidence in shooting it down, let alone now that he had nothing left.

Do you have nothing at all?

How could I possibly have nothing!

There's still a complete spirit foundation here!

Without hesitation, Lü Bu rushed towards the trajectory of Shiva's trident.

"Lu Bu!"

Seeing this, Diao Yunshang wanted to stop Lü Bu from doing something foolish, but in the end, she only managed to call out his name once.

Pfft!

Shiva's trident pierced through Lü Bu's chest, pinning him firmly to the ground. However, the divine fire that should have ignited upon landing did not rise. Instead, Shiva's trident gradually became transparent and then disappeared.

Durga and Lu Bu fell to the ground at almost the same time, but there was actually a time difference between them.

Because Durga was attacked by Musashi's Noble Phantasm first, the trident that finally pierced Lu Bu was greatly weakened before it hit Lu Bu. Otherwise, Diao Yunshang and the others would have been burned to ashes by the divine fire by now.

"Lu Bu!"

Diao Yunshang ran to Lü Bu's side to check on the situation.

A large hole was torn in his chest, and his mangled internal organs could be seen from the outside. The only saving grace was that the trident had not pierced his heart directly.

"Princess, please move aside, I need to perform first aid on my lord."

Chen Gong rarely showed such a serious expression. The bamboo slip in his hand had been opened, and a magical power emitting a green light surged out from it.

"Whoosh~"

Since Durga was shot down, the white tiger she summoned naturally disappeared as well. Red Hare and Musashi, who had just unleashed his Noble Phantasm, arrived at Diao Yunshang's side.

"This injury is too severe!"

Red Hare could only glance at it before giving up.

"Stop talking nonsense and come help!"

After Chen Gong released all the magic power in the bamboo slips, he signaled Red Hare to embrace Lü Bu.

Now is not the time to relax. Although Musashi shot down Durga, even he himself was not sure that he had killed the "Goddess of Destruction". With Lu Bu seriously injured and unconscious, Diao Yunshang and the others decided to retreat first.

Just as Chen Gong pulled Diao Yunshang onto the back of Red Hare, an extremely powerful magical force erupted from within the temple.

Everyone instinctively looked in that direction, and what met their eyes was a woman with waist-length white hair but entirely blue skin.

She had the same face as Durga, but she had grown ten hands, each holding a divine weapon from Durga's previous Noble Phantasm. The magical power she exuded was even greater than that of Durga.

Goddess Kali! The true goddess of destruction has descended upon the world!
