The Three Kingdoms: The Oath of the Peach Garden, the Rise of the Han Dynasty

"Alright! I, Lü Bu, will be waiting for you!"

Lu Bu laughed and patted his chest.

After a short rest, Zhao Yun spurred his horse and rode off with his spear in hand.

Clad in white and wielding a silver spear, he entered the arena like Zilong.

"General Lü, I'd like to ask you for a few pointers."

Lu Bu rallied his spirits and charged into battle again.

Zhao Yun's spear technique was not as fierce as Zhang Fei's, but rather as agile as pear blossoms falling in the rain. His spear tip touched the ground, and his body gleamed with cold light. He was adept at both offense and defense, and his technique was extremely well-rounded.

The two exchanged blows, spears and halberds, fighting for over a hundred rounds, still evenly matched, with no clear victor.

After putting away his gun, Lü Bu sighed inwardly.

In just a few short years, Zhao Zilong, who was still somewhat naive back then, has grown to this level.

"Zilong, your marksmanship has completely carved out its own path!"

On the sidelines, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Taishi Ci, and Pang De were also engaged in fierce battles, each displaying their unique strengths.

Zhang Liao's swordsmanship was steady, Xu Huang's axe strikes were fierce, Taishi Ci's spear was fast and his arrows were accurate, and Pang De was fearless. The four fought fiercely and were evenly matched, with cheers rising and falling from the surrounding soldiers.

Just as things were getting lively, a person walked over from the edge of the training ground.

Wearing a green robe and golden armor, with a long, flowing beard, it was none other than Guan Yu.

He had just returned from inspecting the naval forces when he saw the drill ground bustling with activity, so he stopped and watched for a moment.

Guan Yu, carrying his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, rode into the arena.

His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he swept his gaze over the crowd:

"I'll accompany you all for a few rounds."

Pound immediately stepped forward to ask for advice.

Guan Yu did not refuse and stood there with his sword drawn.

The first strike was as powerful as splitting Mount Hua, crashing down with the force of Mount Tai. Pang De tried to parry with his sword, but with a "crack," the handle of his sword bent in response!

Pound and his horse were jolted back three steps, his head buzzing!

The second horizontal slash, the wind of the blade like a blade, forced Pound to lean back again.

The third strike was another powerful, sweeping strike that continued the momentum of the previous two strikes, even more powerful and heavy!

This attack was no match for Pound; his shoulders couldn't withstand it, and his arm armor couldn't stop it either!

He quickly drew his sword to block, causing the horse's hoof to sink a little deeper!

After only three strikes, Pang De's moves became chaotic, and he was forced to retreat repeatedly.

After fighting for several dozen more rounds, he was even more outmatched and admitted defeat on the spot.

After resting, several more people went up in succession: Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Taishi Ci. They were all flustered after the first three strikes, and those who could withstand dozens of rounds were considered skilled!

The surrounding soldiers were completely silent for a long while before erupting into thunderous cheers!

"Second Brother, great!" Zhang Fei shouted, brandishing his spear.

"Let's fight Fengxian! Let us see what he's made of!"

The crowd stirred and cheered, eager to witness the duel between these two top warriors.

Guan Yu did not refuse. He mounted his horse, dragged his Green Dragon Crescent Blade on the ground, and rode back into the arena.

"Fengxian, please enlighten me."

"please!"

At this moment, even Lü Bu could clearly sense that Guan Yu was different!

The last time I felt this way was when Zhang Fei was at night!

Guan Yu charges forward, dragging his sword!

He raised the Green Dragon Crescent Blade high, and with the first strike, it came crashing down like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down.

clang!

Lu Bu met the attack head-on with his halberd, only to feel a numbness in his arm, which startled him.

The second strike was even heavier, the blade whistling through the air as it swept diagonally upwards.

Lu Bu gritted his teeth, thrust out his halberd, and used the handle to parry. Red Hare followed its master's lead!

The third strike was a powerful cleavage of Mount Hua, the blade's light reflecting the sunlight so bright it was blinding.

Lu Bu used all his strength to block it, his teeth clenched so hard they rattled, and his mind went blank for a moment!

What incredible strength! What a sharp knife!

After three strikes, Lü Bu caught his breath, glancing at Guan Yu as he fought.

"Yun Chang's three strikes are getting heavier and heavier. If this continues, I won't be able to withstand them."

But to surpass that one, we're still a little short!

Lu Bu was provoked and became increasingly engrossed in his actions.

Guan Yu also entered a mysterious state, and his martial arts skills rapidly increased!

After another hundred or so rounds, Lü Bu began to feel his strength waning!

After receiving another blow, Lü Bu truly experienced what it meant to be an opponent who was no match for him!

But Lü Bu laughed even more wildly:

"Hahaha! Fine sword, Guan Yu, bring it on again!"

……

"Hahaha, what a fine blade! Guan Yu, bring it on again!"

Two years passed after that call.

It's still this training ground.

Lu Bu challenged Guan Yu to another duel.

The attack still starts with three strikes.

When the first slash landed, Lü Bu felt a violent tremor in his arm, and his tiger's mouth felt faintly numb.

The second slash swept diagonally, nearly causing the halberd to slip from his hand, his blood and qi surging.

The third strike cleaved Mount Hua in two, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade pressing down.

Lu Bu's mind went blank with a "buzz," and he endured it entirely on instinct.

After three strikes, the two men charged into battle on horseback.

After several dozen rounds, Lü Bu felt his moves gradually become sluggish and his strength could no longer keep up with Guan Yu's pace, and he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

clang!

Another loud crash followed as their weapons clashed, and they both reined in their horses and retreated.

Lu Bu looked at Guan Yu opposite him. Although his breathing was rapid, his eyes were bright, and his imposing presence was even greater than before.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

The laughter carried a sense of relief, as well as a touch of melancholy about the passing years.

"Yun Chang, what a fine blade! You have surpassed me."

When Lü Bu said these words, the soldiers watching the battle fell silent.

Lu Bu, the greatest warrior under heaven, has personally admitted that he has been surpassed!

Guan Yu sheathed his sword, stroked his long beard, and was filled with emotion:

"Fengxian is too modest."

Lu Bu shook his head and remained silent.

After resting for half an hour, he turned around and fought Zhang Fei again. After more than a hundred rounds, it was difficult to determine a winner, and they were evenly matched.

But he no longer dared to say that he could suppress Zhang Fei!

After resting for another hour, he fought Huang Zhong. After more than a hundred rounds, he still only had a slight advantage.

"Hansheng, you really... take such good care of yourself." Lu Bu sheathed his halberd, looked at Huang Zhong's white beard, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Huang Zhong laughed heartily: "I may not be good at much else, but I am very healthy."

Lu Bu stood in the center of the training ground, the wind blowing his cloak as he looked at the spirited generals in the arena.

Guan Yu grew stronger and stronger, and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun caught up with him. Huang Zhong was surprised and found it infuriating that the old man was still so vigorous!

Behind them were a group of young and fierce generals, including Zhang Liao, Pang De, and Taishi Ci, all of whom were rushing forward.

He looked down at his hands.

Back then, at Hulao Pass, he fought three heroes alone, how... well, back then, he single-handedly challenged all the generals of Bingzhou, full of vigor and spirit!

Now, it has gradually been caught up with and even surpassed by others.

"Getting old..."

Lu Bu said something softly, then smiled.

I guess I'll just get old.

In this world, new people always have to step up.

At least, he can still wield his halberd, mount his horse, and fight on the battlefield.

Then one would not have wasted one's martial arts skills or this chaotic world.

The summer breeze swept across the training ground, carrying the clanging of armor and the marks of time.

Heroes may grow old, but their legends live on forever.

That night.

Lü Bu drank alone, looking at himself in the bronze mirror. His eye sockets were sunken, and his beard was unkempt!

Suddenly, he smashed the wine glass!

He discovered the secret to his backwardness!

"I've become so haggard from the damage caused by alcohol and women! From this day forward, I will abstain from alcohol!!"

After thinking for a moment, he added:

"Anyone under my command who drinks alcohol will be executed!!"
