Chapter 2430 - 2145: Breakthrough Enhancement

Zhao Yun felt a chill down his spine at that moment. Although his previous legion attack had been quite powerful, he knew that without sufficient will, such a move would at most injure Lyu Bu, a top-level master, without killing him.

Though Lyu Bu not being injured at all made him a bit flustered, it wasn’t entirely insane, considering that Lyu Bu had always been unnaturally strong. Given that this had happened, Zhao Yun felt it was something he could accept. However, the events that followed left Zhao Yun completely unable to keep up.

First, Lyu Bu coldly sneered, saying he was going to help his brothers. Then he descended from the air to the shore of Lake Baikal, where he seemed to turn into a clay sculpture, as if he had disappeared, leaving only a shell of a body sitting in place.

Yet before Zhao Yun could sneak over to see what was happening, Lyu Bu suddenly stood up in anger and roared words that Zhao Yun couldn’t understand at all. He then performed a completely unscientific move, tearing the sky as if shattering the void, throwing that terrifyingly large over-thousand-meter weapon into the space.

Following that, Lyu Bu issued a grand voice of accountability. Although Zhao Yun could understand every word and comprehend the tone, he had no idea whom Lyu Bu was addressing.

Of course, this was already unimportant, at least to the current Zhao Yun. What was important now was that after Lyu Bu finished his outburst, he fell from the sky, bleeding profusely, with a weakening aura, and eventually passed out.

Although Zhao Yun caught Lyu Bu, he had never seen Lyu Bu so weak. Well, whether it was the first time or not didn’t matter. What mattered was that Zhao Yun felt he was doomed. Clearly, the duel was between him and his father-in-law. He tried hard not to hurt his father-in-law.

Why did my father-in-law collapse during our duel? I don’t want to carry this blame at all. I’d rather be beaten to a critical injury by Lyu Bu and go home to lie down for a month, even if I have to lie like a mummy through the New Year, it would be much better than this inexplicable situation.

Just when Zhao Yun was racking his brain on how to explain to his mother-in-law and wife that the half-dead situation with his father-in-law had nothing to do with him, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, and the others who had previously come to watch Lyu Bu duel Zhao Yun now flew over one after another.

"Second brother, what do we do? You all saw it before, right? It wasn’t me who did this. It was entirely Marquis Wenn himself acting out with invincible power, leading to his own demise," Zhao Yun said with extreme distress.

"We all saw it," Huang Zhong said, stroking his beard, "It really wasn’t your fault, but explaining it to us is pointless. You should quickly send Marquis Wenn to Ye City and find Physician Hua to treat him, otherwise, he might really die."

"Huh?" Zhao Yun was taken aback. Although he seemed worried, given Lyu Bu’s consistently defying combat power, Zhao Yun never thought Lyu Bu would die. Besides, isn’t it just bleeding all over? That’s still a long way from death for someone like Lyu Bu, at a Breakthrough Level.

"If he still had awareness or the instinct of a living being, he should now consciously restrain his blood loss. Unfortunately, from what I can see now, he completely shows no signs of restraint, which means his consciousness is already gone," Huang Zhong said calmly.

Previously, when Lyu Bu swung the over-thousand-meter long Sky Piercer, it surely scared Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong enough. All three highly recognized power and fully understood that even if they combined their Inner Qi, they could only deflect it, not block it.

If they had to take it head-on, with that move coming at them, the only one who might survive after joining forces would be Guan Yu. However, none could guarantee what a miserable state they might be in afterward. That move was entirely a forbidden power exerted by the human body.

"What?" Zhao Yun was stunned, then observed for a few seconds, expression changing, and immediately hesitated no more. It didn’t matter whether Lyu Bu’s sudden self-destruction interrupted their fight or why his father-in-law ended up like this; all that chaos was better than his father-in-law dying.

If his father-in-law died during their sparring, Zhao Yun felt he would never be able to explain it to his wife and mother-in-law. Therefore, after realizing something was wrong, Zhao Yun quickly used Inner Qi to wrap Lyu Bu, suppressing all injuries, summoned the Night Illuminating Jade Lion, and dashed towards Ye City at full speed; if Lyu Bu died, it would truly be a tragedy.

Zhao Yun vanished in the sky like a lightning bolt. Soon, others like the Xiahou Brothers who had been watching from afar also came over.

"Did you hear what Marquis Wenn shouted before?" After a while, Zhang Xiu asked. The overwhelming power was clearly not directed at Zhao Yun but at the opponent behind the space.

"Sulinarari." Guan Yu slowly opened his eyes and said with utmost seriousness.

"I heard it too, that name as well. To be roared out in such an angry tone by Marquis Wenn, and using such taboo power, even breaking the space to attack the opponent, what do you all think of the opponent’s strength?" Xiahou Yuan asked with some hesitation.

"Very strong!" Dian Wei suddenly spoke up. Honestly, Dian Wei generally didn’t watch these messy duels, but the duel between Zhao Yun and Lyu Bu piqued his interest. After discovering their auras, Dian Wei took the group under Cao Cao towards the Northern Frontier, roughly estimating the position in advance, and things turned out as expected.

"Marquis Wenn’s last shout, you all heard it, right? ’Sulinarari, my weapon is deposited in your Rome, waiting for me to retrieve it!’" Hua Xiong said with a certain grave expression, and everyone nodded.

"Everyone should improve themselves quickly. Previously, there were only two people who could still survive after being hit by that kind of move." Guan Yu narrated with a cold and harsh tone, "And for Marquis Wenn to speak such words out of anger, the opponent was likely not even seriously injured."

Everyone’s expression turned somewhat heavy upon hearing this. For most of them, even touching the edge of that kind of move would be fatal, yet unexpectedly, there still exists an opponent who received that move without even accounting for serious injury.

Although everyone understood that after Lyu Bu used such a move and boasted, the opponent didn’t respond, which sufficiently indicates that Lyu Bu achieved an immense victory with that move. In other words, the opponent couldn’t be stronger than Lyu Bu. However, even after that move consumed significant power through the spatial passage, it was still lethal for them.

Of course, none of those present considered that the move might have almost no loss when passing through space, and that Sulinarari wasn’t alone in resisting such an attack.

"Hmm, allow me to tell you some news." Seeing everyone in deep thought, Guan Yu spoke after a while, acknowledging how powerful the enemy seemed, and indeed needed to inform these people something.

"What news?" Xiahou Dun asked quickly.

"News about Breakthrough." Guan Yu was silent for a while before speaking, "After reaching Breakthrough, power continually penetrates Breakthrough, grasping Breakthrough Power, and the Legion Talent will be reinforced for a second time."

"We are aware of that." Xiahou Yuan said.

"Breakthrough Level Legion Talent can enhance Inner Qi Manifestation." Guan Yu slowly spoke, "Moreover, the enhancement limit of Breakthrough Level Legion Talent is extremely high."

Guan Yu’s words stunned everyone, and of course, Guan Yu and the others didn’t yet know that the Breakthrough Level Legion Talent could be immune to Sima Yi’s seal-blocking ability; if they knew, they would probably be even more surprised.

"My own talent has no limit, from the start, I can enhance thirty thousand people, and it doesn’t overlap the Inner Qi Manifestation’s Legion Talent." Guan Yu slowly said.

This was actually the situation during the first Battle of the Two Rivers, where Lyu Bu benefitted from Sima Yi’s Spiritual Talent and enhanced the Wolf Cavalry, granting Legion Talent to everyone including Zhang Liao.

Actually, Zhang Liao didn’t know that in such a situation shielded by Breakthrough Level Talent, he could activate Legion Talent, simply put, Inner Qi Manifestation’s Legion Talent can integrate under the Breakthrough Level Talent, which is a very important point.

"Dual-layer enhancement?" Xiahou Dun asked in surprise looking at Guan Yu.

"Yes." Guan Yu nodded and brought out his son, Guan Ping.

"It is indeed so, my Legion Talent is endless Inner Qi, its essence is small-scale melee legion attack; my father’s Legion Talent is absolute confidence which brings absolute enhancement, and after utilizing my Legion Talent, my legion can still receive my father’s enhancement." Guan Ping explained.

To be honest, Guan Ping’s Legion Talent belongs to that type of straightforward, strong-charging violent dismantling Legion Talent; apart from being oppressed by Military Spirit, in other situations, even if faced with Three Talents, under Cloud Qi, small-scale legion attack activated, you truly can’t beat them, but the damage is indeed very high.

Originally, this talent belonged to a kind of brutish talent without sophistication or manipulation, just rushing to use several meters long small-scale legion attack to begin cutting people. However, after being enhanced by Guan Yu’s Legion Talent, with the Will Attribute change, this crude usage method underwent significant transformation, combat power almost soaring all the way.

Guan Yu at this moment felt like hitting Guan Ping, although it was to let Guan Ping explain, Guan Ping straightforwardly laying out his Legion Talent like this, is he seeking death?

This was supposed to be the trump card as a commander, yet you reveal it like this, what are you trying to do, also I totally don’t recall my son being this straightforward.

[Seems like I need to educate him properly once home, Wen Chang at least has some schemes, and Ping’er is just silly!] Guan Yu thought silently stroking his beard, Guan Ping suddenly felt a chill down his back, instinctively began scanning around.
