Chapter 22: The Xianbei Confederation (2)
China's Strongest Warrior, Lu Bu!
We both headed out from the main tent as we saw the Mercenaries all make way for Lu Bu and his 5 followers.
'This is really seeming like a mix between the two now, most people look like their Dynasty Warrior Counterparts with a few exceptions but have no set linear story line if things happen that never happened in history, The Mongols wouldn't invade China for a few hundred years from now when they had the weapons and forces to do so, not only that but Lu Bu has two daughters instead of one with one being from each Game appearing as well, this is a complete mess that I can't make heads or tails of how things are bound to play out.' I couldn't help thinking to myself as I subconsciously grab at my Bident before pulling it out and having it ready at hand.
Even sitting on top of Red Hare, Lu Bu had a massive and imposing frame, standing at 206cm(6'10") he was considered a giant for most men who stood around 168cm(5'5") and I was even shorter than him even though I was also considered rather tall at 179cm(5'11")
He and his group arrived at the central tents and I felt an unbearable pressure as sweat trickled down the back of my neck, but I kept on a stern face as I wasn't about to be cowed by his mere presence.
He stared at both me and Chen Gong as he saw me stand my ground with a firm resolve in my eyes where instead Chen Gong Bowed in his presence, "It is an Honor to Meet you Lord Lu Bu." He said making him turn his attention away from me to Chen Gong.
He looked at him for a second as he raised a brow, "You, I remember now, you were one of the many who tried to stop my Forced retreat at Hulao Gate back then didn't you?" He said remembering Chen Gong and what he said, that they would meet again in the future.
"My, I am Glad you still remembered the first time we met a few years back, I am in awe of your night still to this day." Chen Gong said still flattering him as I noticed him giving side glances towards me to see my personal reaction to hearing Chen Gong praising Lu Bu in my presence.
But I didn't care as I kept staring at Lu Bu who in turn looked at me as he departed from Red Hare, "And you Boy, I have never seen a warrior such as yourself before, someone so young but has such strength, it's almost like I see my younger self in you, tell me, what do they call you?" He said as he slowly removed his Sky Piercer from the side of Red Hares saddle.
"Wu Kong." I say as Cai Yan and the Others come over while Diaochan and Lu Bu's comrades also arrive and depart from their horses.
Hearing that his brows raised slightly at hearing that before he grinned with a feral ferocity, "Ahh, So your the rising Legendary Dragon Mercenary, Well boy, I want to test how powerful a brat like you really is!" He said before sweeping his Sky Piercer to the side as he easily held the massive halberd with one hand.
"If you want a fight Old Man, then I'll give you a fight!" I say before readying my Dragon Piercer as I widen my stance as the others watch on.
"Wait! Wait! Wait just a moment you two! I don't care if you two spar between one another but you shouldn't go out of your way to intentionally cause massive injuries between you both, either of you getting injuries could jeopardize this entire mission from the Emperor himself!" Chen Gong using all his bravery he had in him to step between the two strongest men he has ever met who were about to fight one another.
Hearing that made Lu Bu click his tongue, "Fine then, since this isn't a death match and I don't desire to accidentally maim the boy I will handicap myself." He said before approaching Red Hare and taking his spears holster to keep his spear from accidentally harming his horse and covered the blade in a thick leather making it impossible to slash and stab his opponents with turning it more into a Mace as a result.
"I'd do the same, but I get the feeling you'd be offended if I handicapped myself." I said as I wasn't offended he was doing that as our stats were massively different that even with the Handicap.

'It's not any of his other stats I'm worried about, it's his immense Instinct Stat that has me worried as it is his own combat potential and it being that high it is true that he is really the Warrior Without Equal.' I thought to myself as I held my spear tightly as I prepared for the battle to begin.
"Don't worry, I shall allow you to launch your first move." He said with both arrogance and confidence in his voice.
That does irritate me with how much he is underestimating me, so it seems I need to get serious right from the beginning!
'Tall as a Mountain!' I shouted internally as I activated my bodies strong self defense buff that boosted my own personal defense during combat.
My body had a visible green glow to it making him grin as he knew I was taking this seriously before my legs tensed up before I launched myself straight towards him.
I thrusted my Bident straight towards his heart at immense speeds, speeds that would be hard even for most warriors to react to, but Lu Bu was no ordinary man as his eyes could follow the trajectory of my attack and cleanly blocked it with the long handle of his Sky Piercer before turning it towards his side to deflecting the blow completely.
I only got one free attack on him so not wanting to let up the assault I began to rapidly weave my Bident in a rotating figure 8 like pattern along with a rotating ♾️pattern for my attacks to which he was able to keep up and block.
Though his eyes widened as he didn't expect that I had such strength and skill at such a young age, it made him realize the title that was given to me wasn't all just hot air and that their was truth to what was said.
Our weapons clashed as we pushed against each other with all of our might, "Your pretty good for a kid! But-" He said before forcibly breaking through my guard and pushing me off of him as he lifted his spear into the air.
"Let Me Show You What I Got!" He said as I saw energy begin to gather in the tip of his Sky Piercer.
"Shit!" I shouted out as I stamped my feet hard into the ground and put up my guard to my next as I knew what he was about to do next.
Soon enough he pulled his spear backwards before thrusting it towards before a large shockwave of wind and electricity arced towards me as I tried my damn best to hold my ground while I was being forcibly slid backwards from the sheer intense power of the attack alone.
Luckily no one was around or behind me but unfortunately many tents were blow away from the attack before it ended, but my arms were sore from just blocking that attack alone.
*Haaa… Haaa… Haaa…* the fight had barely even started and I was already sweating with my arms in pain.
But I gritted my teeth as I needed to match one of his signature moves with one of my own as I tossed my Bident in the air before grabbing it and leaning back taking a javelin throwing pose as my arms and legs tensed up.
Seeing this he grinned but left himself wide open, "Come then! Show me what your made of!" He showed no fear as he wanted to see what I would do next.
"Rising Dragon Charge!" I shout out as I released my bident after it sufficiently glowed in a golden yellow light before unleashing the full force of my attack.
Flying through the air everyone's eyes widened in shock as my bident changed its look and looked like an ethereal yellow/golden dragon with its maw wide open.
It charged letting out a roar of a Dragon before it barreled right towards Lu Bu as he put up a defense.
But the second the dragon hit him he began to be pushed back constantly from the attack alone, being pushed back much further than I was when he unleashed one of his signature moves on me.
The Dragon kept going and pushing him further and further back, smashing him through tents that were in its path while sending the others flying as a result.
"GGGGGRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" He shouted out before using his full force to spend the dragon skyward as it roared through the sky before turning and heading back towards me returning to it Bident form as I grabbed it out of the air.
But after putting all my energy into that attack I was exhausted having to use my weapon to hold myself up only to see Lu Bu returning towards me nearly unharmed from my most powerful attack.
But it had left a deep upwards cut on his cheek, one that would possibly leave a scar even after it healed, but he just grinned as the pain meant nothing to him.
"Well done brat, give it a few years and I can see you really becoming one of the strongest men in all of China." He said before Diaochan, Lu Lingqi and Lu Ji came up to Lu Bu seeing him hurt.
Gao Shan and Zhang Liao also appeared with their weapons in hand while Cai Yan came to my side as Ma Shun, Tai Yang and Lin Biao stood at my side as well, the tension was thick in the air and one wrong move could really turn this into a brawl.
"My! What a wonderful display of might from both such great warriors of renown! I am both shocked and surprised at seeing the full might of you both in battle even if Lord Lu Bu was holding back seeing even a fraction of either of your powers just goes to show that you are some of the strongest this land has ever seen." Chen Gong said clapping his hands before standing in the middle of both of our groups.
"And it certainly cemented both of your mights into the men joining us in this war, any grievances they have will be silenced from the sheer might each one of you has demonstrated here today." He said praising us both.
"Hmph! It was a good spat for a brat, you were even able to injure me with your meager strength." He said while Diaochan pressed a cloth up against his cheek to which he took from her before pulling it back to see his blood seeping into the cloth, but the pain was nothing as he looked towards me with clear interest in his eyes.
"I guess the title they have given you isn't just hot air, I look forward to seeing you improve in the future to come, but enough about this, we have a war to prepare for." He said unbothered by the wound on his right cheek before he made his way into the main tent.
Seeing the spar was done I took a deep breath and sighed, "Cmon, we have things we must do." I said to the others as both my group and Lu Bu's group entered the main tent as we began our true preparations for war.
