Chapter 1244: The Old Smoker’s True Identity 1

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Eastern Han’s Origin Secret Realm, Mushui Pass.

As the dust settled, the Heavenly Halberd landed on Dong Hu’s back with a light of betrayal and despicableness.

“Puchi!”

Dong Hu, who had not expected or reacted in time, was struck by the halberd.

The sharp Heavenly Halberd tore through Dong Hu’s clothes and left a hideous wound on his back.

“Lu Bu!”

“Servant of the three surnames, what are you doing!”

…

This sudden attack instantly enraged the generals beside Dong Hu.

Led by Li Ru, the Western Liang generals instantly surrounded Lu Bu.

On Lu Bu’s side, it was obvious that he had long since made preparations.

The two generals behind him stepped forward to stop the Western Liang generals led by Li Ru. At the same time, the halberd in Lu Bu’s hand began to spin again.

This time, his target was not Dong Hu’s back, but Dong Hu’s neck!

“Ding!”

Under the Heaven Scorching Halberd, Dong Hu raised his black saber to block Lu Bu’s attack.

The long saber blocked Lu Bu’s Heavenly Halberd. Dong Hu turned around and looked at Lu Bu. His expression was strangely calm. “You should have aimed here!”

“You…” Lu Bu tightened his grip on the Heavenly Halberd. “You are my big brother after all. You should at least show some mercy!”

“You still call me your big brother? Then why did you do this?”

“Why? Was it hard to understand?

A real man is born between heaven and earth. How can he live under others for a long time?

As the ruler of the Later Qin Dynasty, if you can do it, can’t I, Lu Fengxian, do it?” novelbuddy.cσ๓

At this moment, Lu Bu’s face was filled with undisguised ambition.

The muscles all over his body bulged at this moment, and the halberd in his hand let out a roar.

“You want to be the ruler of the world? Alright, then let me see what you’re capable of!”

Dong Hu sneered and clenched the hand that was holding the black saber. The spirit essence in his body was about to erupt.

Suddenly, Dong Hu’s expression changed.

He spat out a mouthful of black blood. At the same time, the black saber in his hand lost its glow.

This sudden change caught Dong Hu off guard.

His strength was completely sealed in an instant. Lu Bu seized this opportunity and lifted the black blade in Dong Hu’s hand. He then kicked Dong Hu and sent him flying hundreds of meters away.

At the same time, a hand reached out and took the black saber that Lu Bu had picked up.

This person was not anyone else. He was the old man who had officially entered this mystic realm in his original form.

Seeing the smoking old man holding the black saber, the Western Liang generals heaved a sigh of relief.

This was because the black blade had not landed on Lu Bu, and also because the old man was still there.

One had to know that the smoking old man had always been the backbone of the Later Qin Dynasty other than Dong Hu. With him around, this problem would not be solved.

Some people were even prepared to see Lu Bu, the servant of the three families, being punished by the old man with the smoking habit. In the Western Liang camp, Li Ru was the only exception.

When he saw the smoking old man steadily catch the long black blade, Li Ru’s expression became even more solemn.

In the next second, the expressions of all the Western Liang generals changed.

Lu Bu, who had just kicked Dong Hu away, turned around and bowed to the smoking old man when he received the black saber.

“Well done!”

The smoking old man walked up to Lu Bu with a black blade in his hand. He patted Lu Bu’s shoulder and praised him, “As expected of my adopted son. He has the potential to rule the world, unlike Dong Hu, who is a boorish man. He doesn’t even know that he has been used from the beginning and is still helping others to collect money!”

Who didn’t understand what was going on when the old man said that?

From the current situation, it was obvious that Lu Bu and the smoking old man were in cahoots.

It was them who worked together to scheme against Dong Hu and caused this.

When the truth came out, most of the people present were dumbfounded.

They couldn’t understand why the smoking old man would do such a thing.

Not only did the Western Liang generals not understand, even Dong Hu, who had just been kicked away by Lu Bu, did not understand.

“Why?”

Dong Hu, who had been sent flying, slowly stood up. He looked at Lu Bu and the smoking old man. To be more precise, he looked at the smoking old man who had been supporting him as he walked over.

At this moment, the smoking old man was gently stroking the long black saber in his hand, not even looking at Dong Hu.

“Now that things have come to this, why does it still matter?”

“Important!”

Dong Hu gritted his teeth and blushed. “I’m where I am today. It’s all because of you. Why did you destroy me today?!”

Why?”

“The reason is very simple. From the very beginning, you were just one of the many tools I chose.

In fact, it’s not just you. Over the past few hundred years, including you, I’ve invested in more than a thousand people. Basically, I’ll choose one or two people to invest in and nurture every year.

You’re just one of the luckier ones. You just happened to grow up under my investment.

And now, since you’ve already grown up and the fruits are abundant enough, it’s time for me to pick you!”
