Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Dong Zhuo and Li Ru

```

...

When Lu Bu was brimming with self-confidence, dominating all opponents, he was strong enough to gallop unchallenged across the world. But once he began to doubt his beliefs, his strength started to wane, and as his might diminished, he doubted his abilities even more, spiraling into a second deadly cycle.

Zhao Yun's gamble paid off, as his intense confidence brought him great strength. However, once that confidence waned, it would naturally take away every ounce of his power.

Lu Bu fell into the second deadly cycle, and once his perfect, unblemished confidence cracked, it became irreparable.

Wild, furious, and erratic, he swung his Sky Piercer wildly in combat against Zhao Yun and Guan Yu. Unfortunately, the more he fought, the more powerless he felt, while Zhao Yun and Guan Yu's coordination only grew more seamless. Zhao Yun countered Lu Bu's assaults, and Guan Yu gathered momentum, slashing perfect arcs with his blade.
