CHAPTER 1768: CHAPTER 1769: DIVINE POWER (EIGHT UPDATES)

The Young General Bai Ma was not a foolish person, and he instantly came up with a plan in his mind, signaling to the few cavalrymen around him with a glance, before immediately turning his horse around and galloping away!

Damn!

Zhao Yun would also flee!

"Lü Kuang, you child, leave your head here before you go!" A voice that shook the heart and spirit echoed from within the dust. In a flash, you only saw a shadow swiftly pass by, like a meteor, like a razor-sharp blade of the Death God. Wherever the light reached, everyone’s waist was severed, dying without a complete corpse!

That Young General Bai Ma turned out not to be Zhao Yun!

This was the first thought that flashed through your mind, and upon witnessing Lü Bu’s power, your spirit was shaken, momentarily forgetting to flee!

"Entering my territory and still dreaming of leaving alive?" Lü Bu’s voice resembled that of a Demon God from beyond, the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand whirling like a soul-claw of the Underworld Envoy, ensnaring everyone attempting to resist in an instant, leading them to their demise!

Lü Kuang dared not linger any longer. Immediately, he led the remaining dozen cavalrymen, rushing madly in your direction.

Lü Kuang and his men didn’t spare you infantry a single glance and sped right past. Lü Bu kept chasing, nearly reaching your front.

"Men, kill with me!" Lü Kuang’s escape skills were exceptional, and with you infantry blocking the way, Lü Bu gave up the chase, instead swinging the dreaded Fang Tian Hua Ji towards your group of infantry!

You were in the front row, directly facing the red lightning unleashed by the charging Red Hare Horse!

Until now, you saw Lü Bu’s face for the first time. He wore a ghost head mask, his towering figure clad in extremely heavy armor, and in the blink of an eye, the Fang Tian Hua Ji was upon you!

Almost instinctively, you grabbed the spear with a red tassel in your hands, holding it against your chest.

"Clang!"

A crisp metallic clang echoed as your feet slid over ten or so meters across the ground, bumping into and knocking down ten or so people behind you before stabilizing your body. At this moment, the spear with a red tassel in your hand was severely bent, and the iron shaft broke with a considerable gap, evidently unusable.

"Hmm?"

A sound of surprise emerged from behind the ghost head mask, clearly Lü Bu did not anticipate that among the infantry, there would exist someone who could survive his strike.

Moreover, you appeared unharmed, only your weapon was damaged. It is known, Lü Bu had harnessed the charge of the Red Hare Horse and combined it with his Divine Power, which ought not just to vanquish a mere soldier, but even send Lü Kuang flying, spewing blood to death!

Surprised by your earlier performance, you knew now was not the time to celebrate. You swiftly tossed the bent long spear towards Lü Bu, ten or so meters away, then turned and raced into the crowd, desperately chasing the fleeing Lü Kuang. You understood that only escaping now could spare you from military punishment!

"Clang!!"

Lü Bu wielded the Fang Tian Hua Ji forcefully, sweeping away the incoming bent spear with a red tassel. At this moment, he didn’t ride the horse to chase but rather stared intently at your retreating figure. Simultaneously, his grip on the Fang Tian Hua Ji tightened slightly, for the previous strike had left his right hand slightly numbed!

You successfully followed along with the majority of infantry with better leg strength to evade and return with Lü Kuang. As you anticipated, there were no penalties from above; after all, escaping the killer king Lu Bu’s hooves was something to boast about proudly.

Especially you. There aren’t many who could withstand Lü Bu’s fierce blow and dared to throw their weapon at him. The most important thing is, you came back alive. Soon, your deeds spread among the infantry, even reaching the regular army.

Today’s battle ended quickly, and you, exhausted, returned to the tent. Upon entering, you noticed Wang Xi hadn’t returned.

You looked at the Great Han in the bed next to Wang Xi’s, and the Great Han shook his head, sighing deeply.

You clasped your hands together towards Wang Xi’s bed, bowed thrice, and whispered, "Uncle Wang, my life was saved by you. Rest assured, if I survive, I will definitely take care of your family."

The Great Han in the bed next to Wang Xi whispered, "Old Wang’s hometown is Zhen Ding. He mentioned that he still has an old wife and two sons at home. If you truly care, visit them when you leave safely. Alas!"

"Yes, I will!" You nodded. If this morning you worried about whether you could survive, now you are filled with confidence.

Because you finally discovered that as a transmigrator, you brought with you the legendary Golden Finger, your Golden Finger being the Divine Power!

Actually, this Divine Power should originate from the Seal of Truesky.

Although the Sen Luo Eye was sealed by the Empress, and the Seal of Truesky couldn’t be used, the power of the Seal of Truesky still remained; the Empress, no matter how strong, couldn’t completely seal it.

Even though you didn’t know how great your energy truly was, at least you knew that being able to resist one strike from Lü Bu, although only one strike, greatly increased your survival probability.

You have never properly practiced martial arts, but your combat experience is quite rich, so as long as you are careful, your survival rate in this world will be very high.

As thoughts flew through your mind, the bearded Great Han entered your tent with several people.

"Hey, kid, we meet again. You’re still alive, that’s fantastic, hahaha!" The bearded Great Han really seemed to like you. He took a package from a soldier beside him and tossed it to you, laughing, "This is your uniform. From now on, you are a true soldier of the Yuan Family of Yan Province!"

Yuan Family of Yan Province?

Yuan Shao?

Your mind was immediately confused. During the Three Kingdoms Period, when did Yuan Shao unite Yan Province?

The bearded Great Han saw you lost in thought and assumed you were overcome with joy, stepped close, patting your shoulder, "Your performance today was indeed surprising; therefore, above has decided to grant you the ninth-ranked military status of the Yuan Family of Yan Province. Work hard; you’re young. As long as you survive in battle, one day you will be able to bring honor to your family."

You opened the package, finding a piece of clothing inside, along with a wooden sign. One side of the sign was engraved with the character "Yuan," and the other with "Nine."

It looked very simple, but it represented your identity and status within the so-called Yuan Family of Yan Province.

Though inwardly you smirked disdainfully, outwardly, you nodded towards the bearded Great Han with a smile, "Thank you, Elder brother, I will certainly work hard."

"Originally, you should have joined the regular army, but the top hopes to give you better chances to prove yourself, so they let you stay here. However, as an extra reward, they’ve allowed you to freely choose ten people among the peasants as your subordinates."

A fleeting coldness crossed your face, so quickly no one noticed.
