Chapter 37: First Meeting with Imperial Uncle Liu

  Zhang Bao let out a loud shout: "Hundred Ghosts Night March", and suddenly Zhang Bao's large soul attached itself to his body, and dozens of small souls burst forth from all over him. Those dozen or so small ghosts saw the Yellow Turbans beside Zhang Bao and instantly devoured several people clean, causing the surrounding Yellow Turban warriors to be frightened into keeping a distance of eight zhang (24 meters) away from Zhang Bao.

  This treasure is actually a very rare Fierce Ghost Martial Soul, and under the bright daylight, it eats living people. Adding Zhang Bao's action of licking his tongue on the big knife makes him have an additional layer of eerie feeling.

  Liu Bei was taken aback, what kind of person is this? He had only brought three people to charge down, but the opponent directly sent such a fierce warrior. This kind of fierce ghost martial soul is extremely difficult to deal with, and the opponent can devour other people's martial souls and then evolve. Although he had heard about it before, this was still his first time seeing it. It is said that the nemesis of this type of martial soul is a Confucian successor, but where would he find a Confucian successor now?

  Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also stunned, their own martial souls Qinglong and Heishui Black Snake both belonged to super martial souls, but their martial souls were all strong attack types. They didn't have any special way to deal with this fierce ghost martial soul either.

  Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's expressions were seen by Zhang Bao, who became even more arrogant.

  "Haha~ Seeing Bao Dage's Wu Soul, aren't you all stunned, trembling with fear? I love it when others have this feeling. Let Bao Dage devour each and every one of you." Zhang Bao said loudly while riding his horse.

  "Hmph, you insignificant little demon dare to be so arrogant? Watch me take you down! Xun Yu is here! Confucian Secret Technique: Majestic Righteous Energy Strike!"

  At this time, three unidentified flying objects suddenly appeared in the sky where both sides were fighting. One of them had long hair and a short beard, wearing a green robe, full of positive energy, holding a transparent green ruler in his hand. Who else could it be if not Xun Yu?

  Xun Yu grasped the majestic and upright energy ruler, pointing it at Zhang Bao, who was one chi away. The ferocious ghosts on Zhang Bao's body seemed extremely afraid of this ruler, and instantly fled without a trace. No matter how Zhang Bao summoned them, they refused to return to his body. As for the dozens of small ghosts that were just now clamoring to devour people, they were all dispersed with just one chi.

  "Five thousand iron cavalry listen to orders, charge!" Cao Cao sat on his horse and saw that Xun Yu had already taken the initiative with one move, so he issued the order to charge.

  Zhang Bao saw his Wu Soul being dispersed, and upon hearing the rumbling sound of horse hooves, he couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao. Zhang Fei seized the opportunity, taking advantage of Zhang Bao's momentary distraction, and with one strike of Black Snake Spits Letter, instantly pierced through Zhang Bao's chest. Before Zhang Bao could even let out a pained cry, he was consumed by the black flames on the snake spear.

  "Xiao Bao, you bastards, I'm going to fight it out with you!" Zhang Liang saw that Zhang Bao's eyes instantly turned red at the mention of his death. The three brothers had been poor since childhood and relied on each other for survival, so their relationship was naturally extremely good. As the youngest brother in the family, Zhang Bao was naturally doted on by his two older brothers. Thinking about the various things from their childhood, Zhang Liang's heart felt like it was being cut with a knife. How could he explain this to his eldest brother when he returned?

  "General, hurry up and leave! Our formation is in disarray, and the enemy's reinforcements have arrived. We can't resist them anymore. Moreover, they have so many top-notch warriors that we can't withstand. Now General Gong has already fallen, if you also fall, we really won't be able to explain ourselves to Heaven General when we return." Many of the Yellow Turban leaders pulled at Zhang Liang, trying to drag him away.

  "I must avenge Xiaobao, don't stop me. Golden Secret Technique: Five Thunderbolt Strike." Zhang Liang had not yet released his ultimate skill when he was knocked unconscious by a hand knife from behind by one of the commanders. The other commanders looked at each other in dismay, this guy is really bold, just wait for General Di's awakening anger.

  "We're done." The Yellow Turban leaders hugged Zhang Liang, turned their horses' heads and retreated towards Guangzong City.

  Dong Zhuo saw that the Yellow Turban troops were withdrawing, and he also wiped away a cold sweat. He had finally preserved his own dignity; if he had been captured by the Yellow Turbans and forced to surrender to the Northern Army, his face would have truly been lost forever.

  If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought my own son-in-law. Recently, Dong Zhuo's youngest daughter found a son-in-law that made Dong Zhuo very satisfied. With him around, everything didn't need to be worried about. This time when Dong Zhuo went on an expedition, he left him at the main camp, after all, the main camp was what was most important to himself. It wasn't until he hadn't been by his side for a while that Dong Zhuo discovered how much he relied on him.

  These three people in front of him were extraordinary, and at a glance, they were not ordinary people. Moreover, two of them were Super Martial Souls, and Dong Zhuo still wanted to make friends with them.

  "Dare to ask the three heroes, what is your surname and name, where are you currently serving?" Dong Zhuo said. "I am Liu Bei, a descendant of Zhongshan Jingwang, as for my official position, I am currently a commoner." Liu Bei was somewhat embarrassed to speak out, unexpectedly this Dong Zhuo was so impudent, always asking about his official position at the drop of a hat.

  Historically, Liu Bei should have been granted the title of County Magistrate of Anxi County for his contributions in suppressing the Yellow Turbans. However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion had occurred a year ago, Liu Bei was naturally just an ordinary person.

  Dong Zhuo truly envies Liu Bei, having two such excellent followers by his side (Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are naturally considered to be Liu Bei's followers). Looking at the two men's martial souls, they are even stronger than Hua Xiong, the first great general under my command. Let me show off my overbearing aura in front of these two, making Liu Bei feel sick to his stomach, and let them see who is the brilliant lord worthy of following.

  "Ah, so it's Liu Zhuangshi. Come on in, give Liu Zhuangshi a string of cash, and to the two strong men behind him, each give ten taels of gold as thanks for their lifesaving kindness."

  Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were furious upon hearing this, thinking to themselves: "We three have risked our lives to save you, yet you dare to insult my elder brother just because he holds no official position?" Liu Bei felt ashamed and humiliated by the side, thinking: "Is my life only worth a few coins? This is truly an insult!" However, due to Dong Zhuo's influence, perhaps this person would become their superior in the northern army, so they could only endure it.

  "Dong Zhongying, don't you have a heart this big? Is this the attitude towards the person who saved your life?" Zhang Rui and Xun Shi's uncle and nephew were waiting for Cao Cao on the side, but after listening for so long, Zhang Rui couldn't help but smile at Liu Bei and his two companions.

  "And who are you, and what is your official position?" Dong Zhuo asked haughtily.

  However, Dong Zhuo's arrogance has its own capital. At a young age, he himself pacified the Qiang army rebellion and dominated Liangzhou. He is now an Eastern General of the East and his current position in the Northern Army is second only to the Left General of the East, Huangfu Yi. As for that old thing, who knows where it has gone? Now I am the No. 1 in this Northern Army.

  "This man is one of the most important strategists in the lower ranks, who has made great contributions to the suppression of the Yellow Turbans in the southern route army. Although he is still a commoner now, I believe that it won't be long before he can enter the imperial court. Does Dong Zhongying have any objections to this?"

  Dong Zhuo saw an old man speaking to him in a tone of reprimand, and his heart was extremely resentful.

  "How dare you ask who I am? What qualifications do you have to lecture me? Since you know my name, you must have heard of my reputation." Dong Zhuo said.

  "Haha~ I'll say it even better, I am Huangfu Yitian, don't know if the name Huangfu Yitian has the qualifications to teach you or not!"
