Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan nodded. Xiahou Yuan leaped up and swung the Dark Night Dragon King Blade towards Diao Lingyun and Lü Xiangong.

"Dark Night Sagara!"

A purgatory dragon with red eyes roared and pounced towards them...

not good!

Lu Bu noticed his movements, and with all his might, he repelled Xu Chu and Dian Wei, charging towards Diao Lingyun and Lu Xiangong.

"White Dragon's Roar!"

Xu Huang swung his White Flame Dragon Axe and cleaved down, and a huge white flame dragon shadow roared as it charged toward Lü Bu.

"Go away!"

Enraged, Lü Bu swung his halberd, cleaving the entire white dragon in two. However, he also failed to block Xu Huang's Cloud Slash and was knocked back several steps.

"mean!"

Gao Shun cursed under his breath, distanced himself from Zhang Liao, and wanted to go back to provide support. Out of consideration for their past relationship, Zhang Liao did not stop him, but Xiahou Dun had no connection with him.

"Earthly Fiend Fangs!"

Xiahou Dun plunged the Purgatory Ghost King Spear into the ground and suddenly slashed it at Gao Shun. Caught off guard, Gao Shun was forced back several steps.

Meanwhile, Xiahou Yuan's Hellfire Dragon successfully pounced on Diao Lingyun and Lü Xiangong, causing a violent explosion that ignited the infernal flames...

Chapter 162: I'd Rather Betray the World

"You traitor Cao, you are truly despicable!"

Gao Shun couldn't help but curse. He said that it was one thing to fight outnumbered, but to let the guardian spirit attack the host in this situation was a bit too much!

"Ning to teach me to bear the people of the world, and to quit teaching the people of the world to bear me!"

Cao Cao glanced at Gao Shun and said, "Gao Shun, it seems you still don't understand what kind of person I, Cao Cao, am!"

"What can't I do if I can realize my ambitions from back then?"

"you……"

"Gao Shun, don't panic!"

Lu Bu, wielding his halberd, stood up again. "As my spirit host, how could you possibly defeat me so easily?"

As the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, a hellish dragon, seemingly struggling in agony, was revealed.

At its neck, the dragon fangs in Diao Lingyun's hand were firmly biting it.

At this moment, Red Hare had disappeared, and Diao Lingyun was wearing the War Demon Armor that Lu Bu had made for her with his spiritual power. The eyes of the dragon fang in her hand were glowing with scarlet blood light.

Behind Diao Lingyun was Lü Xiangong, who was injured and unable to move properly, slumped on the ground.

"What are you doing to it?!"

Xiahou Yuan roared and swung the Dark Night Dragon King Blade at Diao Lingyun. Diao Lingyun controlled the dragon fangs to release the tormented Purgatory Flood Dragon and retreated with Lü Xiangong to avoid it.

"interesting……"

Cao Cao examined the dragon fang in Diao Lingyun's hand. "Your weapon can bite anything made of spiritual energy, right?"

After settling Lü Xiangong in, Diao Lingyun stepped forward and said, "I, Lü Bu, and Gao Shun will fight alongside you!"

She glanced back at Lü Xiangong. "She's injured and can't fight. You wouldn't lay a hand on a defenseless girl, would you?"

"certainly……"

Cao Cao readily agreed, "Anyway, once you three are dealt with, she'll be trapped like a turtle in a jar, nothing to fear..."

"I hope you will keep your word!"

Diao Lingyun withdrew her gaze from Cao Cao, "Lu Bu, Gao Shun, are you still able to fight?"

"If I were to fall like this, wouldn't I, Lü Bu, become a laughingstock?"

"I can still fight!"

"Then let's all attack together!"

Thus, Lü Bu faced off against Xu Chu and Dian Wei, Gao Shun against Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, and Diao Lingyun against Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.

In this battle, Lu Bu was able to fight Xu Chu and Dian Wei to a standstill, while Gao Shun and Diao Lingyun had a very difficult time, basically being suppressed the whole time and only able to passively defend.

hateful!

Looking at everyone struggling in front of him, Lü Xiangong felt extremely sad. He wished he could fight as well!

She used her spiritual power to condense a spear, and despite the excruciating pain in her feet, she tried to slowly stand up.

Cao Cao noticed her and reached out to the side. A soldier immediately handed her a bow and arrows.

Cao Cao drew his bow and aimed at Lü Xiangong, who was trying to stand up. Gao Shun, who had never believed in Cao Cao's character, also noticed Cao Cao's action.

"Celestial Palace, watch out!"

Gao Shun cleaved Xu Huang in two with a single spear thrust, then threw his Hundred Battles Vanguard Spear toward Lü Xiangong's front, the spear blocking an arrow fired by Cao Cao.

Gao Shun was also cleaved in two by Xu Huang's axe, a huge wound appearing on his chest from the blow of Xu Huang's White Flame Dragon Axe Spear, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"You traitor Cao, you actually lied to me!"

Diao Lingyun also noticed the situation and angrily cursed.

Cao Cao scoffed, "You're the one who's stupid. Even Gao Shun knew to be wary of me, yet you dared to trust me?"

"This is a battlefield. The means we use don't matter, as long as we can win!"

"Right? Zhang He!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang He appeared beside Lü Xiangong, who had just stood up, with his Ghost Shadow Sword pressed against her neck.

"Just surrender obediently!"

"you……"

Diao Lingyun gritted her teeth and finally had no choice but to put down her weapon. "Lu Bu, put down your weapon!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Lu Bu turned and glanced at Diao Lingyun. "Lingyun, do you think this Cao traitor will let us go after we lay down our weapons?"

"I know, but... I can't watch the Celestial Palace die in front of me..."

"..."

Watching Diao Lingyun and Lü Bu slowly lower their weapons, Lü Xiangong felt a tremendous sense of powerlessness. He was truly useless, always holding them back...

If it weren't for my insistence on coming, none of us would be in danger. And now, because of me, they've been put in a passive position...

Lu Xiangong clenched his fists, looking at the Ghost Shadow Sword that was only inches away from his neck. A strange impulse suddenly rose from the depths of his heart. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and leaned his neck closer.

As long as I die, everything should be fine...

Lu Xiangong leaned forward, but instead of touching a cold sword blade, he felt a warm hand. At the same time, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Xiangong opened her eyes and saw a hand blocking between her vulnerable neck and Zhang He's sharp, ghostly sword.

Zhang He's Ghost Shadow Sword was firmly blocked by a halberd, unable to advance even an inch.

Li Moxuan grabbed her around the waist and squatted down, while Xue Rengui seized the opportunity to sweep Zhang He away with his halberd.

On the other side, Xu Chu and Dian Wei were knocked back by Li Yuanba's two hammer blows. Li Yuanba grinned and said, "Why don't you come to me for such a good opportunity of outnumbering your opponents?"

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao were also repelled by Li Cunxiao single-handedly. He reached out to Gao Shun behind him, saying, "You're really amazing to have lasted this long!"

Meanwhile, the Xiahou brothers on Diao Lingyun's side were forced back by Li Jing and Li Ji...

Cao Cao stared at Li Moxuan, his eyes growing serious. "Who are you?"

"The person who will take you in..."

Li Moxuan didn't say much. He carried the stunned Lü Xiangong into the spatial passage behind him, not forgetting to speak to Diao Lingyun.

"Diao Lingyun, you should come with us too!"

Without hesitation, Diao Lingyun ran towards the spatial passage under the cover of Li Jing and Li Ji. She had probably already guessed Li Moxuan's identity...

Cao Cao did not order Xu Chu and the others to pursue them, but instead watched quietly as everyone disappeared into the spatial passage.

"interesting……"

the other side,

Li Moxuan led Lü Xiangong and Diao Lingyun through a spatial passage to the top of the Fusang Tree, where the Four Divine Pearls were also located.

Diao Lingyun sized up Li Moxuan. "You're the Li Moxuan the Immortal Palace was talking about?"

"That's right..."

Li Moxuan helped Lü Xiangong sit down on a boulder and couldn't help but curse, "Lü Xiangong, you're really something! Were you trying to commit suicide just now?"

"I went through so much trouble to get you into the greedy camp, and this is how you repay me?"

"Entering the Tian Shu Palace without knocking, and ending up here by some twist of fate, is one thing, but now you actually want to commit suicide?"

"you……"

"I'm...I'm sorry..."

Lu Xiangong lowered his head, tears glistening in his eyes, a sight that silenced Li Moxuan's words.

He swallowed hard. His words weren't exactly powerful, were they? How did they manage to make Lü Xiangong cry?

Chapter 163: Afraid of ghosts and afraid of heights

"Never mind, never mind, I'm not blaming you..."

Li Moxuan waved his hand, "The Red Dragon Army is not something you can handle. It's normal that you can't beat them..."

At this moment, Xia Ling arrived. "I have already passed on your orders. The Greedy Battalion has entered a state of combat readiness, but many people have still escaped from the stronghold."

"It's alright, those people don't really affect the battle situation anyway..."
