Chapter 1168: Zhu and Lu Duel
Beads of sweat kept dripping from Zhu Ye's forehead and slowly flowed down his resolute cheeks, but Zhu Ye did not bother to wipe them off. His eyes were now fixed on Lu Bu, who was about a hundred steps ahead of him.
Lu Bu did the same. He got off his horse, held the bow in one hand and roughly tied the quiver around his waist with the other. While doing all this, his eyes never left Zhu Ye's figure.
After a while, several soldiers of the Imperial Guard, perhaps seeing that Zhu Ye had not moved, thought that he was daydreaming and not paying attention to the situation around him, so they boldly stabbed him.
But how could they know that Zhu Ye had already trained himself to be able to keep his eyes and ears open since he was a child when he trained with Liu He in the back mountains. How could they hide their little tricks from him?
Zhu Ye kept his eyes still, and determined the direction of their attack by relying solely on his hearing and peripheral vision. He swung his two hammers and easily killed several of them.
"good chance!"
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and in almost an instant he was able to draw the bow and draw the arrow, and a sharp arrow shot out.
"System prompt, Lu Bu activates archery skill. Basic archery skill is 105 points, and the Five Stone Strong Bow increases archery skill by 2 points."
"Lü Bu activates the 'Ten Thousand Arrows' special skill, increasing his archery skill by 4 points."
"Lv Bu's current comprehensive archery skill is 111 points."
Zhu Ye's ears moved, and he sensed the murderous intent coming towards him. He instinctively raised a sledgehammer and swung it forward.
"Ding~"
The sharp arrow hit the sledgehammer and then fell to the ground. Zhu Ye was so shocked by the huge force brought by the arrow that he took several steps back.
"Good of Lu Bu. I didn't expect that after his martial arts were destroyed, his archery skills have become even better. It seems that we must get closer to this guy to have a chance to kill him."
Just as he was thinking about how to get closer, another sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the second sharp arrow was approaching.
"So fast, the arrows are fired so quickly, the famous rapid-fire Taishi Ziyi in our army is probably no better than him, right?"
As he thought about it, he swung the other sledgehammer and hit the sharp arrow directly.
In terms of force alone, the sledgehammer is naturally far superior to the feather arrow, not to mention that it was hit from the side, so the feather arrow was broken directly in the middle.
At this time, the third arrow had already arrived.
Zhu Ye was not in a hurry. He fell to the left and rolled several times. He not only avoided the arrow but also moved forward several steps.
Lu Bu was also a famous general who had experienced many battles. How could he not see what he was thinking? He also quickly retreated more than ten steps in the opposite direction, while his hands did not stop, and he fired three more arrows in a row.
Zhu Ye did not dodge or evade. He used his two hammers to protect himself in front of him. He leaped forward, then rolled on the ground, quickly stood up, and ran towards Lu Bu.
"Humph, wishful thinking."
Lu Bu knew that his martial arts were useless. Now with the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, he could only deal with some second- and third-rate generals. Even the likes of Han Dang and Ding Feng would not be easy for him to deal with. If they really came into close combat, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Zhu Ye in a single round.
Therefore, while he continued to shoot arrows at Zhu Ye, he kept dodging in all directions to avoid being closed to by Zhu Ye.
Zhu Ye was annoyed.
"This bastard has shot more than twenty arrows in a row. How could he not feel tired? How could his legs not be worn out by hard labor? How could he still run so fast today?"
The two played this chasing game for a long time. Lu Bu shot all the thirty arrows in his quiver, but he failed to hurt Zhu Ye at all. This really shocked Lu Bu.
Zhu Ye shook his arms, which were sore and painful from catching too many arrows, and looked at Lu Bu viciously.
"You bastard, it's time for you to die!"
He leaped forward, and Lu Bu instinctively reached for his waist to take out the arrows. When he found that the arrows were used up, Zhu Ye had already jumped over to a distance of dozens of steps.
Seeing that the invincible hammer had been raised and was smashing towards him, Lu Bu hurriedly pulled a Jiangdong Imperial Army soldier over to block him. "Bang..."
The soldier's body was hammered and flew sideways more than ten steps away, without a trace of breath left.
When Zhu Ye turned his gaze back, Lu Bu had already run more than ten steps away.
"Hey, where are you running to, Lu Bu?"
In a panic, Zhu Ye swung the sledgehammer in his left hand and threw it forward.
"Boom!"
The sledgehammer hit the ground heavily, almost touching Lu Bu's heel. Although it didn't hit him, it scared him so much that he shuddered all over and almost fell to the ground.
Lu Bu turned his head to look at the sledgehammer on the ground and cursed, "Zhu Ye, you are so cruel!"
Zhu Ye chased closely with another sledgehammer, cursing as he ran.
"Don't run away, you bastard! Come and fight me for three hundred rounds!"
Lu Bu spat secretly, but did not dare to continue fighting. When he was about to continue running away, he caught a glimpse of a quiver tied to the warhorse beside a captain of the imperial guards not far away.
He immediately had an idea and came up with a plan.
"Well, let's see if Zhu Ye survives this time?"
He changed direction and ran towards the location of the imperial guards.
Seeing this, Zhu Ye sneered: "Looking for someone to protect you? These ragtag imperial guards are so weak, what can they do to me?"
He had only one thought in his mind at this moment, which was to kill Lu Bu. Especially after witnessing his increasingly advanced archery skills just now, this thought became even stronger. Otherwise, if he was allowed to survive, it would become a serious problem in the future.
Therefore, Zhu Ye was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He didn't care about anything else. He only saw Lu Bu in his eyes. Everything else was automatically ignored by him.
Without the burden of a sledgehammer in his hand, Zhu Ye seemed to run much faster than before, and was getting closer and closer to Lu Bu.
When the distance between the two men decreased from more than a hundred steps to only sixty or seventy steps, Zhu Ye was overjoyed, but he saw that Lu Bu suddenly stopped.
"Hmm? Has this thief finally figured it out and wants to fight me to the death?"
Zhu Ye was just wondering when he saw Lu Bu reaching out his hand and taking something from a warhorse next to him.
Zhu Ye shook his head, and in the dim firelight, he finally managed to see the object clearly. It was a feather arrow. His eyes widened in shock.
Lu Bu completed the action of bending the bow and drawing the arrow almost in the blink of an eye. Then, without moving his legs, he relied on his powerful waist strength to turn his upper body backwards, and without any hesitation, he shot an arrow at Zhu Ye!
Even Zhu Ye would find it difficult to resist such a thundering blow in such a hurry, so he had to hastily raise his sledgehammer to try to block the sharp arrow.
But it was still half a step too slow. The sharp arrow grazed the edge of the sledgehammer, bringing out a few sparks. After changing direction slightly, it grazed Zhu Ye's left face, leaving a scar on his cheek.
But before the blood could flow out of the wound, the second arrow had already approached.
Zhu Ye hurriedly swung the sledgehammer downwards, and although he successfully blocked the arrow, because the arrow was too close, the hammer only changed the arrow's target from the chest to the thigh.
"puff……"
The sharp arrow pierced deeply into Zhu Ye's left leg, and blood immediately gushed out.
