Chapter 330: Struck by Lightning
Who wouldn’t want the title of Xia Kingdom’s most powerful general given to a warrior in this world?
But it seemed particularly unattractive to fall in front of these generals from China who had died once. Even Lu Bu, who had always wanted to pursue this title, now scorned it.
"Dad, why don't you go up?"
Lu Lingqi took off the shawl from her shoulders, and the wound on her shoulder had been bandaged to stop bleeding. When she heard the emperor's voice, she looked with a pity tone. To the father aside.
Lu Bu was wiping his daughter's torn shawl, raised his eyes, and patted her head lovingly.
"Haha, dad... has changed. It's not what it used to be. What's the point of competing for the first place in the world? It's more practical than having my wife and daughter reunited. You're right, Lingqi!"< br>
The pain in the shoulder wound continued, but the girl's attention was always on her father. Even though she could see her father's changes directly, it was another feeling to actually hear it with her own ears.
Then, the girl was interrupted by loud and harsh laughter, and turned her head to look at the ring. Li Xuanba looked up at the sky with white clouds floating in it. He hummed a few times at first, and gradually his voice Pull up, hold high the drum, urn and golden hammer, humming and laughing loudly.
“Hmph...haha!!”
"Your Majesty has named me the most powerful general of the Xia Kingdom... Haha... Whoever is dissatisfied, come up and challenge -"
At present, no one except Zhao Yun dares to go up to challenge, but Zhao Yun is too lazy to go up, he and Ma Chao are almost It's not even close. Even if you go there, you may not be able to defeat this 'monster'.
After all, others become weaker the more they fight, while he becomes stronger the more he fights.
Seeing that no one came up, Li Xuanba was about to leave. At this moment, a sudden "boom" sound exploded above his head.
A drought thunder rolled over in the sky. The sound was so loud that many people outside the fence and soldiers in the army were startled. Li Xuanba, who originally lowered his arms, was holding two hammers. When he was about to go down, when he heard the thunder, he stopped again and raised his face to look at the sky with a fierce expression.
"I just told you who was coming, and you thundered. Aren't you dissatisfied?!"
The generals in the surrounding armies also laughed, thinking that his challenge to God was quite interesting. Su Chen, who was standing on the high platform to send away the Yue envoy Meng Dan, was also startled by this drought thunder.
Then, Li Xuanba’s voice was heard roaring towards God in the distance.
My mind suddenly thought of a scene in the future, and I hurriedly stepped forward, standing on the edge of the high platform, and made a sound with my inner strength.
"Xuanba, I want to see you, come here quickly!"
"Come here, Your Majesty, wait for a moment!"
Li Xuanba, the other person, was too lazy to respond, but his second brother had said that he should be as respectful to Su Chen as he was to him, so he quickly replied loudly: "I'll yell at this thief again, but he won't obey me!"
"Come here!" Su Chen was afraid that the scene in the performance would appear, and the peerless warrior he had worked so hard to train would be gone, and After being together for so long, we naturally have no feelings for each other, so why would we want to see anything happen to him!
Boom——
The thunder sounded again, louder than before, and large black clouds floated over in the sky that was still blue just now.
"Your Majesty, look at you, he's still yelling at me!"
"Taizong!"
Su Chen knew that he couldn't yell at Li Xuanba by himself, so he had to look down. The ancestral coffin carries Li Shimin in silence.
The latter had also watched Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties below, and probably understood Su Chen's mood. The moment Li Shimin floated up to the high platform, his figure merged with Su Chen's, their voices blended together.
“Get over here!”
Su Chen's loud voice was frightening. It was the first time for the people and civil servants around him to see that the Emperor of Xia's voice was so powerful. This shows how high his martial arts skills were. Otherwise, why would Li Xuanba, who was so arrogant just now in the ring, become so weak? .
“Here it comes!”
Li Xuanba did not dare to hesitate, turned around and left. While striding away, he raised the drum, urn and golden hammer and pointed at the gloomy sky: “ Wait for me!"
The moment the hammer was raised, Li Shimin floated out behind Su Chen, as if he sensed thunder falling from the sky: "No!" Su Chen raised his eyes, and a rain cloud enveloped him. Above his head, there was a faint flash of thunder. It was the thunderstorm season in summer. He quickly turned his head and shouted: "Dian Wei, throw the halberd!"
"Where to throw it?!" Dian Wei rushed forward and took off the small halberd hanging from his waist.
“Above Li Xuanba’s head, throw a few more!”
Dian Wei, who rushed forward, stopped at the edge of the high platform, holding two small iron halberds in each hand, flying one after another He was very good at throwing halberds, just as good as Lu Bu in shooting halberds from the gate, but not as far as his opponent. The high platform where the ceremony was being held was at a high place, so the distance to the ring was not too far.
Four small halberds flew out in the same direction but at different heights, heading straight to a height of four to five feet above Li Xuanba.
Then, I heard a few booms.
The originally ordinary mid-air suddenly lit up with white light, and the people, soldiers, and generals around the rising smoke were all blinked by the sudden white light.
The lightning came and went quickly. When everyone could see again, the thunder followed closely.
Boom——
Thunder exploded in the sky again, and Li Xuanba on the ring below kept raising his hammer, but rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. , limbs twitch from time to time.
The civil and military officials on the viewing platform stood up, and the people were in an uproar.
Lu Bu, Qin Qiong, Ma Chao, Guan Yu and others hurried up, felt for pulse and nose, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked the sergeant to carry the person down. Immediately, he asked his order to pass the news to Su Chen on the high platform here.
Having just made one of Xia's most powerful generals, he was struck by lightning. Su Chen couldn't help but want to imitate Li Xuanba, draw his sword and curse God.
But fortunately, Dian Wei's small halberds stopped him in mid-air and did not hit Li Xuanba, otherwise the consequences would be hard to say.
After all, the Li Yuanba in the novel was so terrifying that he was struck to death by lightning. This Li Xuanba, who is still growing, will definitely not be able to escape that ending.
After a while, Ling Qi brought news, and the stone in Su Chen and Li Shimin's hearts finally fell.
"Your Majesty, Li Xuanba was so arrogant that he was struck by lightning?" Xu Chu Weng asked angrily from behind, and then touched his face, "Fortunately, I'm not like him!"
"It has nothing to do with arrogance. , he was wearing iron knots, and he was still standing on the empty platform, holding a sledgehammer high, like a lightning rod, who would hit him if he didn't."
Su Chen knew that Li Xuanba was fine, but now he was being attacked. He still had to come forward to stabilize the morale of the military and the people when it came to lightning strikes. However, this vision was spread among others, and it turned into various rumors, saying that he was an unruly king. , the officers and soldiers under his command who followed Su Chen and committed unjust acts will all be punished by God. Not only did the purpose of this martial arts performance not be achieved, but they also suffered a huge loss.
The rain clouds are pressing down.
On the high platform, Su Chen stood on the edge facing the strong wind before the heavy rain, and his cold eyes swept over the crowd below.
"Did you all see the thunder just now?"
A solemn atmosphere suddenly appeared in the military formation and spread quickly. At this time, the people watching the ceremony also recovered from the shock just now.
“...Some of you may be wondering why the generals under my command were struck by thunder, and why the thunder fell when my three armies were performing martial arts. Is it a bad omen!< br>
Then I will tell you... because I and my army are invincible, changing the general trend of the world, turning the world around, and breaking the pattern of hundreds or even thousands of years in my hands.
But my soldiers are too murderous. God is warning me that I have just passed the easy break. I don’t want to see me and my thousands of men break like a steel knife in this strong place!
I listened to the advice and understood the will of God, so why I summoned the envoys of the four countries, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the people under my rule to come and watch the ceremony. I am telling you that my army is even fearful of God. You must not offend me. The power of the army also tells you that I will carry out great rule.
I dare to fight with heaven, let alone fight with others! You should remember this! "
The roar was carried by the wind into the distance and resounded in everyone's ears. One after another figures immediately knelt down. Su Chen from the top of the high platform looked at the crowd below with satisfaction.
Soon, He flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked off the platform, rushing to check on Li Xuanba's injuries.
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart
‘Fortunately, I learned a skill from Zhang Jiao back then...’
