114: Chapter 114 A Servile Traitor? I, Lü, Became a Godfather for a Time?
After the battle ended back then, it indeed seemed like many lords had surrendered to the Necromancer God Lord.
Because the lords suffered a massive defeat at that time, and the Corpse-shifter also swarmed into the Lord Continent through the portals.
Under such circumstances, many human lords wavered and chose to defect to the enemy; among them, many had personally experienced the Human Defense War and surrendered directly to the Necromancer God Lord after their retreat.
The number of these Necromancer Lords is currently unknown, so it's the perfect time to use Lv Bu's trait as a 'slave of three surnames' to see if this skill of his is actually useful.
Lv Bu, however, felt very miserable. He had been reborn just to wash away the infamy of being a 'slave of three surnames'. What was going on? Why did he have to be a 'slave of three surnames' again after being resurrected?
But since it was the King's order, he could only comply.
There was no way around it...
Absolutely no way around it.
Although he was acting as a 'slave of three surnames' again, this time it was in the capacity of an undercover agent. It's different! It's different!
Lv Bu could only comfort himself this way. He was doing it because of the King's command, so he couldn't be blamed this time, right?
Riding Chi Tu, Lv Bu continued forward, searching for spirit mines while observing his surroundings.
While Lv Bu was riding the Red Hare and swaggering through Li Shunyao's territory, Li Shunyao, the Necromancer Lord, was currently sitting within his domain.
It was evident that this place was originally a town of human lords, but now it was littered with corpses, with Ghouls, Skeleton Soldiers, and other undead monsters everywhere.
Speaking of which, after Li Shunyao fled the human battlefield, he felt that the human race was finished and hopeless, so he immediately chose to defect to the Necromancer God Lord.
Subsequently, he used necromancy to turn the people in his territory into undead monsters.
And just a few hours ago, this place had actually been a prosperous town.
Li Shunyao's town was originally a peaceful and serene East Asian small city, with architectural designs reminiscent of the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan.
Boats floated on the streams, and there were Chinese-style buildings with white walls and black tiles; these koreans had plagiarized the ancient architecture of places like Hangzhou and Yangzhou.
But now, the blood-red streams were filled with floating corpses, the white walls were stained with blood, the streets were covered in skeletal remains, buildings were burning, and screams and the roars of Ghouls could be heard from time to time.
The entire town had transformed from a Jiangnan water town into a Shura Hell.
Having become a Necromancer Lord, Li Shunyao had ruthlessly attacked his own former people, slaughtering every single subject in his territory, which was truly cruel to the extreme.
Lv Bu walked all the way, witnessing everything that had happened in the small city.
This scene gave Lv Bu a feeling of returning to the Luoyang of those years. Yes, his foster father Dong Zhuo had burned Luoyang just like this, allowing the Xiliang soldiers to burn, kill, loot, and rape.
The Xiliang soldiers were mostly Qiang people, along with Qiang-influenced Han soldiers; they were fierce in battle and simultaneously extremely cruel.
And now, what Lv Bu saw before his eyes was a swarm of Ghouls and Skeletons slaughtering civilians, so similar to the scene of the burning of Luoyang back then.
However, as an experienced general, these images meant nothing to Lv Bu.
Furthermore, those dying before him now were foreigners, so he was even more indifferent, watching the disaster before him with a numb expression.
As Lv Bu swaggered into this living hell, the Necromancer Lord Li Shunyao, who was currently enjoying himself, also noticed Lv Bu's presence.
He narrowed his eyes, staring at the figure calmly walking across the bridge while riding the Red Hare.
"Two sky-piercing plumes, a fangtian painted halberd, and is that the Red Hare he's riding? Could this be..."
Li Shunyao suddenly stood up from his Bone Throne, gazing at the tall figure in the distance.
"Could that be Lv Bu? Am I seeing things?"
Li Shunyao rubbed his eyes vigorously, unable to believe what he was seeing. Was there something wrong with his eyes?
After being stunned for a long time, a line of text popped up before Li Shunyao's eyes.
[Divine General: Heavenly Demon Lu Bu]
"Is this crazy? How could such a Divine General spawn near me?"
"Heavenly Demon? Could it be that after I slaughtered the city, I triggered some reward, and the system spawned a Divine General of the Three Kingdoms in my territory?"
At this moment, Li Shunyao began to get excited.
Lv Bu!
That's Lv Bu!
As a Korean who grew up reading about the Three Kingdoms, Lv Bu was a figure known to almost everyone in the East Asian cultural sphere.
Bravery surpassing the three armies, fierce combat power, a warrior worth a thousand—all sorts of titles could be applied to Lv Bu.
If he could recruit Lv Bu... wouldn't that be...?
Just imagine a necromancer version of Lv Bu; who could stop such a fierce general?
While Li Shunyao was excited, several blind Ghouls howled and lunged at Lv Bu.
Lv Bu, riding on the Red Hare, gave a cold snort; he didn't even deign to strike.
When a Ghoul rushed from behind, attempting to ambush Lv Bu, the Red Hare gave a back-kick, exploding the head of the charging Ghoul with a single hoof!
That's right, the power of a single hoof kick from the horse directly exploded the Ghoul's head!
Good heavens, one must never underestimate the back-kick of a horse.
Everyone knows the saying: you can't touch a tiger's backside.
But many people still don't realize that you shouldn't mess with a horse's rear either; if a creature like a horse snaps, a single back-kick can kill an ordinary person.
And this strike from the Red Hare was like bursting a watermelon, accurately exploding the Ghoul's head.
In the process, it sent the Ghoul flying, knocking down several others attacking from behind.
Soon, the Ghouls also noticed the living person that was Lv Bu and began to howl as they surrounded him.
Seeing these sightless monsters, Lv Bu snorted coldly and slammed his fangtian painted halberd into the ground.
Boom!
The fangtian painted halberd struck the ground with a shock, directly sending dozens of nearby Ghouls flying.
However, more and more Ghouls gathered. Seeing these hundreds of Ghouls rushing in a dense pack, Lv Bu didn't get angry but instead laughed.
"You are seeking death, Hahaha!!"
It can only be said that Lv Bu's peaceful demeanor only lasted for a moment.
In the end, he was still that Heavenly Demon Lu Bu who loved battle and slaughter.
Holding the fangtian painted halberd and charging on his precious Red Hare, he leaped into the swarm of corpses, swinging his weapon like a combine harvester.
With a sweep of the fangtian painted halberd, flesh and blood flew everywhere. The Ghouls' blood splashed onto Lv Bu, and he thoroughly enjoyed the blood-soaked feeling.
"Slaughter! This dripping blood feeling, it's great!"
Lv Bu's demonic laughter echoed throughout the town. When he saw this, Li Shunyao was already certain that it was Lv Bu!
A wild Lv Bu!?
Never mind that, a Lv Bu appearing all alone couldn't possibly have a master, right?
With a hopeful heart, Li Shunyao mounted a skeletal horse and led his men to the scene.
"General Lv Bu! General Lv Bu, please wait!!!"
Lv Bu, who was enjoying the slaughter, already had bloodshot eyes; he didn't care who you were.
Seeing someone approach, Lv Bu shouted excitedly: "Another expert? Come, fight me to your heart's content, Hahaha!"
Once he started killing, Lv Bu couldn't control his emotions.
The fangtian painted halberd slammed towards Li Shunyao's head, and in the nick of time—
"Foster Father Lv Bu!! Wait, wait!!!"
Lv Bu, who was originally in a killing frenzy, suddenly felt his brain stall when he heard someone call him 'Foster Father'.
Huh?
How many foster fathers has this Lv Mou acknowledged in his life? Today, for the first time, I've become someone else's foster father?
