Chapter 244 One halberd strikes, instantly killing Wu Yunzhao
While he was still in a daze, Wu Yunzhao heard his father-in-law Li Zitong's loud and desperate reminder.
By the time he came to his senses, Lü Xiao had already knocked away the last person blocking his way and arrived in front of him like a mountain.
Before him stood Lü Xiao, his warhorse rearing up, the incomparable Fangtian Halberd raised high!
Wu Yunzhao didn't have time to think. Almost instinctively, he raised his Wansheng Bright Silver Spear and held it above his head to block the thunderous blow.
clang!
In an instant, he felt an indescribable force coming down on his head, like Mount Tai pressing down on him, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting open!
That force was simply beyond human power to resist!
Boom!
With another loud crash, Wu Yunzhao took the blow head-on, but he and his warhorse were smashed to the ground!
The warhorse let out a miserable neigh, its hooves convulsed, and it died on the spot.
Wu Yunzhao was pinned under the warhorse, coughing up blood.
Wu Yunzhao, lying on the ground, stared intently at the sky with his eyes wide open like copper bells.
His pupils were rapidly dilating.
This halberd shattered all the bones in his body.
From the arms to the shoulder blades to the spine to the legs, there wasn't a single intact bone.
It was this single blow that made him fully appreciate Lü Xiao's strength.
That's not the kind of strength a human should have!
Let alone him, even if Wu Tianxi or Xiong Kuohai, who is known for his strength, came, they would not be able to withstand this halberd!
That's a huge difference!
"Not...human..."
Wu Yunzhao's lips moved slightly, uttering the last two words, and blood gushed from his mouth, staining the armor on his chest red.
His head tilted slightly, and he immediately stopped breathing.
The former top military scholar of the Sui Dynasty, the bravest man in the allied forces, died by a single halberd strike.
After killing Wu Yunzhao, Lü Xiao did not stop.
He swung his halberd horizontally, cleaving several enemies charging at him in two once again.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering all over his body and face.
He was completely oblivious and continued charging forward.
"Press it down! Press it down!"
Although Wu Yunzhao died, it made the surrounding rebel kings realize the truth.
Lü Xiao's martial prowess is already beyond the heavens!
They were terrified; they were filled with fear.
But they knew even better that if they couldn't kill Lü Xiao today, they would all die without a burial place in the future!
We should take advantage of the current chaos and strike first!
"You rush out first."
Lu Xiao reached out and patted the neck of the neighing Red Hare, speaking softly.
He then leaped off the saddle and landed on the ground.
In this chaotic battle, he had no intention of retreating, so his warhorse became a burden.
Without his warhorse, he could charge and fight more recklessly, and take a desperate gamble.
"Come!"
Once dismounted, Lü Xiao was like a wild beast unleashed from its shackles.
He charged through the crowd, and with each step he took, several people fell.
With a single swing of his halberd, he cut down everyone within several feet in front of him, creating a massive cloud of blood mist that filled the air with a strong stench of blood.
"Monster...monster..."
At this moment, the rebel soldiers finally realized what was happening when they faced Lü Xiao.
This is simply an existence they cannot defeat!
This is not human!
In past battles, at least they could swing their weapons, hit people, and feel the intensity of the fighting.
But when facing Lü Xiao, they didn't even have a chance to swing their weapons, let alone get close to him!
"We can't retreat! Even if he were to take a single blow from Lü Xiao, it would exhaust his strength!" Xu Maogong, hidden behind the crowd, shouted repeatedly, his voice hoarse, "Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
At the same time, a squad of supervisors appeared behind him, each with a grim expression and their spears pointed forward.
If any soldier at the front dared to retreat, these supervising squads would swarm forward and stab them to death on the spot.
"The prince has disappeared, shouldn't we go and attack?"
The generals watching the battle from Jiangdu were extremely anxious when they saw the Red Hare galloping back alone, but Lü Xiao was nowhere to be seen. They were covered in sweat.
If Lü Xiao dies, Jiangdu will not only be lost.
Even the imperial court would send people to hold them accountable, and they couldn't bear that responsibility!
"No rush."
Yuwen Chenglong sat motionless on his horse, his eyes fixed on the center of the battlefield where shouts of battle shook the heavens.
His eyes were unusually calm.
As long as the battlefield remains chaotic, the fighting continues, and screams continue to be heard, it means that Lü Xiao is alright, still alive, and still fighting the enemy.
This also shows that it's not time for them to make a move yet.
All they had to do was wait, wait for Lü Xiao to carve out a bloody path, wait for the moment when the rebels completely collapsed.
At this moment, the battlefield situation had become extremely chaotic.
Where Lü Xiao was located was the most central and most brutal part of the entire battlefield.
Centered around him, corpses littered the ground, blood flowed like rivers, and severed limbs were everywhere.
The corpses of those rebel soldiers were piled up in layers, forming a small mountain.
Not only could the imperial army not see what was happening inside, but so could the rebel kings.
Previously, they could at least get a general idea from a distance, seeing how Lü Xiao charged and killed people.
Nowadays, the view is completely blocked by the dense crowd.
They could only hear the deafening sounds of fighting, screams, and the clang of metal, but they could see nothing at all.
"What happened? What exactly happened?"
Du Fuwei craned his neck and stood on tiptoe, but he couldn't see anything.
He turned his head and looked at Li Zitong, Meng Haigong and others beside him, eager to know the situation in the center of the battlefield.
"I don't know."
Li Zitong frowned deeply, his face so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
His gaze was fixed on the chaotic center of the battlefield, trying to find a single clue.
Just now, Lü Xiao was heading towards Wu Yunzhao.
That aura, that killing intent, clearly indicated that he wanted to take Wu Yunzhao's life.
Now, Wu Yunzhao has disappeared without a trace and has not responded at all.
If he wasn't mistaken, Wu Yunzhao, his son-in-law and his most capable general, had probably already fallen victim to Lü Xiao's treachery.
"Is...is this even human?"
When Meng Haigong spoke, his voice trembled and his lips quivered.
In their minds, the idea of one person fighting against ten thousand is nothing but an exaggeration, a storyteller's exaggerated claim to attract listeners.
But today, it has been proven that this is not an exaggeration, but rather a bit of an understatement.
Lü Xiao was more than capable of fighting against ten thousand men single-handedly.
That's tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands!
"This is not human."
Cheng Yaojin chimed in from the side, unusually speaking a very honest truth.
No wonder Lü Xiao dared to charge forward alone against hundreds of thousands of people without even blinking.
This person is too incredible, too terrifying.
Even if that incredibly strong Luo Shixin were to arrive, he would be no match for Lü Xiao.
