BXBX NOVEL Chapter 115
Goosebumps appeared on Tong’s skin . He gulped down his saliva in astonishment and fear . His sweat drops flow backward from his chin up to his temple . The pressure from Lu Bu was many times more terrifying than the first time that Tong crashed with him .
Tong gritted his teeth and strengthened his legs to maintain his stance and his focus . An iron sword was pulled out by Tong’s left hand while Tong’s right hand still aimed his gun at Lu Bu .
’Can I do the same as back then? How did I use that power?’
Tong attempted to bring out the power from the previous time when he dueled with Lu Bu . He remembered how it felt when he used it, but he could not remember how he cast it .
No matter how hard Tong tried to replicate his aura or his mental strength, his [Demonic Curse] cannot be used .
’Damn it! I can’t use it! Screw this!’
Without a choice, Tong started shooting .
*BANG*
*TINK*
*BANG*
*TINK*
*BANG*
*TINK*
With his inhuman speed, Lu Bu swung his 100kg halberd with one hand and parried all of Tong’s bullets .
Lu Bu’s blood-shot eyes locked at Tong . He released his warcry .
"DIE!!"
He stomped the ground and disappeared from Tong’s sight .
With a flash, Lu Bu appeared at the right side of Tong with a finished motion . At the same time, another flash slashed through Tong’s pistol . It cleaved from the tips of the gun down to Tong’s shoulder .
The gun was cut as if it was tofu . The crack of the cut appeared on the right arm of Tong .
Blood slashed out from the disconnected parts . A long piece of flesh dropped down on the ground with the broken gun, leaving red flesh and bones that were still attached to the body visible .
Tong’s arm was severed in half!
"Huh? I thought I should have cleaved you in half . That’s odd . "
Lu Bu muttered to himself as he was surprised by the change of his body .
His natural body attributes increased and all of his attacks turned into magical attacks, which Lu Bu had not adapted to it yet .
Meanwhile, the face of Tong whitened as a paper sheet . A worst-case scenario for himself had just happened . His physical attack immunity was still effective . However, Lu Bu’s previous attack changed into a magic attack . As a result, the feeling of being under the absolute protection and the confidence he had was shattered .
Tong ignored the pain and activated his regeneration skill . At the same time, he leaped back and tried his best to get away from this place as soon as possible .
’Fighting Lu Bu without my life-saving skill is a suicide . I have to run away!’
Unlike the last time when Tong fought Lu Bu, the terror of this current Lu Bu magnified by a hundredfold . He was already a monster when he sparred casually with Tong yesterday . Now, he seriously wanted to take Tong’s life . Furthermore, his power had increased from that mysterious light ball!
"Where are you going, Tong? I’ve not done with you yet! I’ll have you taste these hands!"
"Fengxian, you’re not BrOOn StrOOman! Stop using a wrestler’s gimmick!"
Lu Bu kicked the ground and dashed toward Tong who was running backward while his front still faced toward Lu Bu .
Seeing that the monster among men rushed toward him, Tong threw the sword in his left hand at Lu Bu as he knew that it would be suicide to fight him in melee combat right now .
Lu Bu swatted the sword away as if he swatted a fly . Although it did not hurt him the slightest, it delayed Lu Bu’s momentum by half a second, which was enough for Tong to swap another weapon from his inventory .
Tong pulled out another pistol from his inventory and another spare Glock magazine with fully loaded bullets .
’[Firearm Creation]! Give me another Glock pistol!’
...

...
The skill that had been with him for more than a year was used again in this critical situation .
He loaded the newly created pistol with the prepared clip, unlocked the safety, and loaded the bullet into the chamber for both guns .
Lu Bu was already about to catch him . There was only 5 meters distance between the two .
Unexpected by the two, a shadow figure rushed toward the side of Lu Bu . He swung his poleaxe at Lu Bu with full force .
As if the shadow’s movement was read, Lu Bu swung his halberd to the side and clashed it with the incoming poleaxe .
*CLANK*
Zhang Liao, who jumped at Lu Bu, felt the overwhelming strength of his boss through the impact . His hands went numb, his arm shook as if there was electric current ran through his arms .
"STAY OUT OF THIS, WENYUAN!! HE IS MY PREY!!"
"Fengxian! Stop what you’re doing! You’re under being controlled by a wicked sorcery spell!"
"SILENCE!!"
Lu Bu switched target . While his halberd locked with Zhang Liao’s axe, Lu Bu rotated his halberd with the blunt end without blade circled its way up . Then, another edge with blade pushed the poleaxe away .
Lu Bu grabbed his halberd shaft with both hands and stabbed the blunt side at the upper abdomen where Zhang Liao’s liver was at .
*POEK*
Despite wearing a full set of iron armor, which covered the entire body, Zhang Liao felt the impact ran through his innards . His inside shook as if his bones and his organs were moved by the sudden shockwave .
Zhang Liao knelt down in pain with shocked expression while he puked out his saliva and his breakfast .
Lu Bu did not show mercy . He kicked his subordinate with his iron boot and landed on the same spot that his pole blunt had landed .
*THUD*
Zhang Liao flew away from the impact and slammed onto the nearby wall . His body dropped down on the ground and stopped moving . His breathing remained, but he lost his consciousness from the repeated assaults .
Tong witnessed the entire fight from the beginning to the end . The exchanged last only three moves and less than 2 seconds . If someone whom Tong could not beat lose in 2 seconds, how long could Tong last against Lu Bu?
The answer would be an instant!
Tong dashed toward the exit of the main hall and shouted .
"FEIHONG! WHEN WILL THE EFFECT WEAR OFF!!?"
...
Inside the private world, Li Feihong, Ding Yuan, Zhang Liao’s soldiers, and other officials were watching the monitors which were broadcasting the event inside the government building .
The terrifying power and speed of Lu Bu gave them a fright . At the same time, Tong’s endurance and body durability, which able to take multiple hits from Lu Bu, astonished them .
Lei Feihong was sweating all over . His back was so wet that it could be mistaken as he just fell into a pond . His legs were shaking from fear, but he gritted his teeth to endure .
Tong was in crisis . Li Feihong knew that he had to help Tong right now or he would be dead in a few seconds .
He gazed at the system clock . It was 9 . 05 AM .
If his memory served him right, Lu Bu was affected by the skill somewhere around 8 . 15 AM . The effect should last only one hour based on the testimony from Lu Bu yesterday .
That meant, Tong had to outlast Lu Bu’s onslaught for another 10 minutes .
Li Feihong was about to text Tong with the Clan chat box . However, his tears of anxiety and despair clouded his eyes . He wiped his tears with the back of his hands and glanced at the monitor one more time .
’Huh?’
His vision blurred . Tong, who was running away from Lu Bu in slow motion in the monitor, had a similar appearance to another "Tong" in his previous life . His face overlapped with each other, which made Li Feihong hallucinated that this Tong was actually his previous life’s Tong .
’Eh!?’
Li Feihong rubbed his eyes again . His vision recovered . The previous "Tong" in the monitor returned to the current "Tong" .
’I’m seeing things...’
’But...’
Despite knowing that this Tong might not be his previous life "Tong", Li Feihong felt a heartbroken pain in his chest . The panicked face of Tong in the monitor too resembled the anger Tong in that courtroom .
He was nauseous to the point that he could faint at any moment .
Li Feihong gritted his teeth and summoned all of his courage . He decided not to text the message to Tong but he opened the gate behind Lu Bu’s back . He jumped out from the gate himself and hugged Lu Bu from the back .
"Tong! Hang in there for another 10 minutes! 10 minutes more and this will be over!"
With all air in his lung, Li Feihong shouted while he was trying his best to restrain Lu Bu, who raised his eyebrows in amusement after he noticed Feihong’s action .
"Oi, Feihong! This is not a place for you to stick your nose into!"
"My lord, you can’t kill Zhang Tong! Please come back to your sense!"
"Listen! The only reason I haven’t killed you yet because I value your talent! Let go right now and I’ll forget what has happened today!"
"No! Please don’t kill Zhang Tong!"
At first, Lu Bu did not want to pay attention to this coward strategist . However, Li Feihong had gotten on his nerve .
He stopped pursuing Tong and turned his body around . His free hand grasped the hugging man by his neck and raised him up like a small kitten .
Unable to resist Lu Bu’s grip power, Li Feihong was lifted up .
One more time, Lu Bu glared into the teary eyes of Li Feihong before he threw the shaking young man to the wall where Zhang Liao was unconscious .
*THUD*
Li Feihong’s body slammed to the wall with his back . His right back rib cages cracked from the impact . The backbones of Li Feihong made a weird noise inside his body . His right lung was stabbed by a piece of his broken rib cages .
The body of Feihong slid down from the wall while he coughed out the blood that got into his lung .
Meanwhile, Tong had seen everything . His eyes glowed in a fiery red as he was frustrated for many reasons .
’Feihong, you reckless idiot! You didn’t have to go that far! Can’t you just open the goddamn gate and let me inside!?’
’Lu Bu... I know it’s not your fault, but your nature is fOOking unreasonable!’
’I didn’t want to harm you at first . But...’
’I’ll freaking break you! Right now!’
