Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Hu Zhen fled, but Hua Xiong was trapped in the canyon. As he looked around, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of desolation.

Despite voluntarily staying behind to cover the retreat, he lamented the fact that it was Hu Zhen’s incompetence that led to their predicament. It was their own loyal warriors who paid with their lives, including himself, who was about to meet his end. “Is the Tiger of Jiangdong only capable of overwhelming the enemy with numbers?!” The voice of Lu Bu, with its inherent arrogance, sounded like heavenly music to Hua Xiong’s ears. Sun Jian, who was preparing to surround Hua Xiong, quickly looked around. Dawn was breaking, but he couldn’t spot any human silhouettes. Just as he felt surprised by this, a group of horsemen charged out from their flank.

Before they arrived, three arrows almost simultaneously shot toward them, knocking away three soldiers who had been the first to notice the situation off their feet with the force carried by the arrows. “Form a defensive formation and turn around!”

Sun Jian’s face darkened. He turned his horse around, brandishing the Ancient Ding Sword. He could clearly see that the enemy forces were not numerous, at most a thousand men.

They had already nearly annihilated Hu Zhen’s army. Although this sudden attack caused some chaos, Sun Jian believed… Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a warrior already slashing through the crowd. From the distance, he could make out the figure holding the Sky Piercer. With every swing, cold light flashed, and whirlwinds of halberd strikes followed. But what caught everyone’s attention the most was the warhorse beneath him, entirely crimson in color, its size alone exceeding ordinary steed. When it charged, it resembled not a horse, but a fierce beast.

This combination of warrior and horse, entering the crowd, was like a tiger amidst a flock of sheep. Wherever the Sky Piercer swept, not even a blade of grass remained. The already chaotic formation instantly fell into disarray. However, the opposing warrior showed no intention of lingering in the battle. After tearing open a gap, he swiftly spurred his horse and charged out, leaving no chance for the surrounding soldiers to encircle him. He had already reached another area.

This man possessed not only exceptional bravery and martial prowess but also a terrifying insight of the battlefield. He could magnify even the slightest fleeting vulnerabilities. "Who is this person?!" Sun Jian said, observing how the rear formation had already been routed by a single individual, and even had cavalry troops behind him.

As soon as the gap was torn open, they rushed forward, launching a wave of attacks and closely following their enemy. Though their numbers were few, they threw the soldiers of Jiangdong into chaos, making them flee in panic and unable to maintain their formation.

Even Sun Jian, renowned as the Tiger of Jiangdong, felt a chill down his spine upon seeing this scene. This man was a completely different kind of threat compared to Xu Rong, but equally terrifying, perhaps even surpassing Xu Rong! “It should be Lu Bu!”

Huang Gai leaned close to Sun Jian, his gaze fixed on the horse called Red Hare beneath Lu Bu.

He spoke in a solemn tone, “My Lord, if we let him continue killing like this, our army will surely be defeated!” “This person is exceptionally valiant. Demou (Cheng Pu) and Yigong (Han Dang), the two of you, go and intercept him! Gongfu (Huang Gai) and I will stop the cavalry under his command!” Sun Jian said in a deep voice. Ordinary cavalry units were mainly skilled in mounted archery, but this cavalry was different. They were ferocious and formidable in close-quarters combat.

Sun Jian had only heard of the ferocity of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry during his battles in the Liangzhou region. Today, seeing it personally, he truly understood the relentless nature of the Iron Cavalry. Although Lu Bu and this cavalry seemed to be separate entities, their coordination was seamless. Lu Bu tore open the gap, creating chaos within the army, while the Iron Cavalry swiftly moved in to completely exploit this opening. This was not considered a particularly brilliant strategy, but when combined with Lu Bu’s bravery and the ferocity of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, it became unparalleled.

Among the coalition of warlords, the soldiers of Jiangdong were considered a formidable force. However, in the face of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry at this moment, even Sun Jian himself began to doubt whether he was leading a ragtag bunch of misfits. Han Dang and Cheng Pu agreed with a nod and joined forces to attack Lu Bu. Meanwhile, Sun Jian prepared to intercept the cavalry in the rear with Huang Gai.

In his view, although Lu Bu was formidable, Cheng Pu and Han Dang were not to be underestimated. Even if they couldn’t defeat him, they could hold their ground for a while. As long as they could hold down Lu Bu for a moment, they could separate the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry from Lu Bu. In doing so, they would break through Lu Bu’s strategy.

On the other side, when Lu Bu saw someone charging towards him, a smile appeared on his face.

With a swing of his halberd, he beheaded the Jiangdong soldiers who came close to him.

Then, he lightly urged his horse forward. The Red Hare, which had been leisurely trotting, suddenly let out a long neigh, and its four hooves accelerated abruptly. In an instant, it had already arrived in front of Han Dang.

“Spurt!” In Han Dang’s astonished eyes, he saw a cold gleam flash as the Sky Piercer swept past his neck. At the same time, Lu Bu, riding the Red Hare, swiftly passed by Han Dang, their bodies narrowly missing each other. “Spurt!” A pillar-like jet of fresh blood sprayed from Han Dang’s throat, as his massive head soared into the sky amidst a rain of blood. In the midst of this gruesome scene, Lu Bu turned his signs on Cheng Pu. “Yigong!”

Cheng Pu, witnessing the death of his dear friend, his eyes bloodshot, faced the approaching Lu Bu with unyielding courage.

Undeterred, he raised his Snake Spear, the snake-shaped blade gleaming with a chilling aura, assuming a stance aiming to die together with his foe. Lu Bu naturally had no intention of perishing together with Cheng Pu. As his mighty halberd, the Sky Piercer, descended executing the Phoenix Ascension Technique, the once swift and deadly strike suddenly seemed to carry the weight of a thousand catties, slowing down to an unbearable pace.

This transition from extreme swiftness to extreme slowness was unsettling to see. Facing this move, Cheng Pu, perplexed by Lu Bu’s seemingly empty advance, suddenly found his Snake Spear placed beneath his opponent’s halberd. “Clang!” It was hard to imagine that such a slow-moving strike could produce a resounding roar akin to morning bells and evening drums. Cheng Pu felt a numbness in his arms as his swiftly thrusting spear came to an abrupt halt, the Snake Spear almost knocked away from his grasp. Upon witnessing this, Lu Bu let out a light exclamation. Though there were numerous valiant generals in the realm, those who could easily withstand his attack were few and far between.

It was rare to encounter someone who could block his full-strength strike without losing their grip on their weapon. This person displayed some skill. Delighted by the prospect of a worthy adversary, Lu Bu pulled back his legendary halberd, the Sky Piercer, and with a glint of cold light, slid it along the shaft of the spear, aiming to make a swift beheading strike towards the opponent’s neck. In haste, Cheng Pu quickly released his grip and executed a nimble evasive maneuver known as “Iron Bridge,” skillfully dodging Lu Bu's strike from the Sky Piercer.

With this move, Cheng Pu managed to narrowly escape the imminent danger. However, Lu Bu was unable to instantly retract his weapon, the Sky Piercer. “Traitor, meet your end!” At that moment, a roaring tiger cry rang out. It was Sun Jian, filled with anguish upon witnessing his beloved general Han Dang being slain in such a manner.

Worried for the safety of Cheng Pu as well, Sun Jian ordered Huang Gai to intercept Lu Bu’s Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, while he himself wielded the Ancient Ding Sword to confront Lu Bu. On the battlefield, there is no room for chivalry or martial virtues. Seeing Lu Bu finish his move and about to retrieve his halberd, Sun Jian charged forward on his steed and delivered a mighty slash towards Lu Bu. In an astonishing display of agility, Lu Bu twisted his body at an unimaginable angle, using his halberd to block Sun Jian’s strike. Sun Jian’s arms trembled. In the fleeting moment as Sun Jian and Lu Bu crossed paths, Lu Bu swiftly rose from his saddle, drawing his sword with his reverse hand and slashing towards Sun Jian. Sun Jian hastily wielded his own blade to block the attack, and the two swiftly separated.

Meanwhile, Cheng Pu and Sun Jian converged at the same spot and, sensing Lu Bu's change of direction, they instinctively spurred their horses forward, teaming up to face Lu Bu together...
