Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 257

Luo Chen on this side was no simple character either, and he made a tiger shape and a dragon claw shape at the two of them at the same time.

"Then come and try my Ten Forms Fist!"

As she spoke, Luo Chen gradually approached him, attacking upwards and downwards at times. However, no matter how she attacked, Lu Bu could only retreat step by step without any power to fight back.

He soon became enraged. As the saying goes, strength can overcome all skills. He roared and concentrated all his power into his weapon, then swung it rapidly at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen lightly touched the ground and leaped into the sky, striking at his head and then at his groin. But just as Lu Bu tried to grab him, the person in front of him suddenly disappeared and appeared behind him.

Lu Bu felt like he was being played with like a monkey, so he planted his halberd directly into the ground and roared at Luo Chen in front of him.

"You scoundrel, if you have the guts, take three of my slaps!"

Luo Chen stopped, looked directly at the person in front of him, and made a provocative gesture. Lu Bu formed his hands and charged forward, slamming his fist into the ground.

Luo Chen took a step back, and the two quickly clashed. As Lu Bu charged forward, a gust of wind rose from his feet.

Luo Chen simply raised his hands to block, catching his arm and drawing cheers. Wang Situ, who was watching from the side, nodded in surprise, not expecting the gatekeeper to have such a powerful skill.

However, seeing Lu Bu's increasingly fierce gaze, Luo Chen knew that it was time to let go, otherwise others would hold a grudge against him. This was the principle of repaying kindness received. So Luo Chen retreated and flew directly off the arena.

No one could understand why Luo Chen did this, and even Lu Bu, who was still on the arena, was completely bewildered.

"Reporting to Prime Minister Dong, I have exhausted my strength. If I were to go down, I might get injured, so I came down on my own."

Dong Zhuo nodded, but still handed over the position of head of the palace guards to Luo Chen. After receiving the order, Luo Chen immediately thanked Dong Zhuo and headed back home.

Upon seeing Luo Chen return unharmed, Cai Yan rushed over to him.

"Ugh, ugh!"

Luo Chen was unaware of what had happened, so she gently pulled her aside.

"what happened?"

"Today when I went out on the street, I heard everyone talking about your dealings with Lord Fengxian. I wonder what your explanation is?"

Luo Chen realized that the girl was worried about him, and immediately sighed.

He stroked the little girl's face and said softly, "Silly girl, you have no idea how awesome your husband is!"

"This..." Cai Yan was stunned: "What is awesome?"

"Um... it just means really awesome!"

"My lord, please don't joke like that. Lord Fengxian is one of the best warriors under Prime Minister Dong!"

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Luo Chen took a step back, raised a stone high, and then struck it down with his palm, shattering the stone into pieces.

If Luo Chen had already absorbed so much of the protagonist's luck, how could he possibly be unable to deal with a mere Lu Bu?

Seeing how powerful Luo Chen was, Cai Yan finally felt relieved and kept clapping her hands. If she was with Luo Chen because of the Demon King's blood, then she had completely fallen in love with him at this moment.

After Luo Chen finished performing this amazing skill, he picked up Cai Yan, whose face was flushed, and carried her into the room. As they walked, Cai Yan kept patting Luo Chen's arm.

After the morning court session, Cao Cao received news that Wang Situ would be celebrating his birthday that night, so he went to attend alone. However, as soon as he entered, he heard the Han officials weeping.

So he left the place after saying that he should not associate with him, even though he knew that Wang Situ had sent someone to pick him up long ago. The two of them discussed it and decided to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

On that very day, Luo Chen received an order from the court to go to Dong Zhuo's residence. At the gate, he saw Cao Cao asking the guards why they hadn't searched him.

Luo Chen laughed heartily as he walked over and patted Cao Cao on the shoulder: "If this young man searches you, wouldn't our Lord Cao lose face?"

As he spoke, Luo Chen gently patted Cao Cao's stomach with his other hand, and Cao Cao's smile immediately froze.

The guard also laughed heartily, after all, the two people in front of him were one with unparalleled martial arts skills and the other was his master's most trusted person.

The two were walking together when Cao Cao suddenly looked at Luo Chen and asked, "I wonder if you've come here today to do the same thing as me?"

Luo Chen chuckled, "No, it's just that the Prime Minister summoned me, so I came!"

Cao Cao squinted his small eyes, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Once the two were led into the room, Dong Zhuo turned around, looked at them, and said something.

"Ah Man, Luo Chen, you two are here?"

The two men naturally showered Dong Zhuo with compliments, but Luo Chen only uttered a few words softly.

At this moment, Lü Bu also returned. He looked at Luo Chen with a slight surprise, and then Dong Zhuo directly asked him if he had retrieved the Ferghana horse. The two nodded in agreement.

Then Dong Zhuo brought up what happened to Wang Situ yesterday, and Cao Cao said that Wang Situ had been kicked out. Luo Chen replied directly that he had not received an invitation at all.

Dong Zhuo naturally berated the scholars again, and then ordered Lü Bu to bring back the few Han-blooded horses, so that Luo Chen and Cao Cao could each take one.

After Lü Bu answered "yes," he immediately went downstairs, and Luo Chen waited there.

Chapter 150 Obtaining Diao Chan

Dong Zhuo suddenly yawned and told the two to wait again, while he went in to sleep. Luo Chen replied that he was okay and sat down in a seat to the side.

Cao Cao followed Dong Zhuo into the room. As a time traveler, Luo Chen knew very well what Cao Cao was going to do. About an hour later, Lü Bu returned.

Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao emerged from the room with smiles on their faces. Upon seeing the Ferghana horse, Cao Cao said he wanted to go out and try it out, and Dong Zhuo immediately agreed.

But as soon as Cao Cao sat on his horse, he immediately galloped away, disregarding everyone and everything else.

After he left, Dong Zhuo said that Cao Cao was impatient. Luo Chen looked at the knife in Dong Zhuo's hand and asked softly, "May I ask, Prime Minister, how did you obtain the knife in your hand?"

Dong Zhuo glanced at the knife in his hand and said to Luo Chen, "Oh, this is the knife Cao Cao just gave me."

"May I ask what brings you this?"

Lu Bu also sensed something was wrong. Dong Zhuo slapped his thigh and cursed, "That scoundrel Cao Cao! He's not here to deliver a knife to us, he's here to assassinate us!"

After saying this, Luo Chen asked Dong Zhuo, "Prime Minister, please immediately order General Lü to go and pursue them!"

Dong Zhuo glanced at Lü Bu, who immediately walked out without saying a word, while Dong Zhuo supported Luo Chen with one hand.

"Luckily you're here, otherwise we'd be like idiots who wouldn't even know we were being assassinated! Come on, tell me what reward you want, we'll give you anything!"

This Dong Zhuo enjoys being surrounded by beautiful women in the palace every day, yet he doesn't know how to share anything with his own people. I despise you, Luo Chen thought to himself.

Luo Chen then said that he didn't want anything. Dong Zhuo thought to himself that he might have found such a treasure who didn't covet anything. So he thought of using Luo Chen to counterbalance Lü Bu and offered him troops.

Luo Chen had no interest in managing troops or anything like that, so he refused on the spot. Dong Zhuo, seeing that he couldn't do anything about him, had no choice but to let Luo Chen go back.

The next day, Wang Situ invited Luo Chen to his home as a guest. In fact, Luo Chen already knew that Wang Situ wanted to use his daughter to kill Dong Zhuo.

However, Diao Chan was indeed the most beautiful woman in the world. Although she was not shy like other women, she had a strong presence.

After Diao Chan finished offering wine to Luo Chen, she began to dance. Diao Chan was wearing a dress that looked like silk, and her proud figure was faintly visible beneath the clothing.

Luo Chen was somewhat stunned, even more so than Zi Xun was now.

After finishing the song, Luo Chen clapped his hands until they were bright red. When Wang Situ saw Luo Chen like this, he couldn't help but nod in approval.

However, the banquet ended quickly, and Luo Chen felt a little reluctant to leave, as if his soul had been taken away by someone else. Wang Situ said he was very happy with Luo Chen and hoped that he could come to his home as a guest again next time.

Luo Chen readily agreed. The next day, Dong Zhuo was invited to Wang Situ's home, where he also saw Diao Chan. For some reason, upon seeing this beauty, it was as if his soul was being drawn to her.

After thinking it over, Dong Zhuo decided to bring Diao Chan into the palace in Liu Xie's name. Luo Chen, who was already aware of Wang Situ's plan, went to visit him personally.

As soon as he entered the door, he lashed out at Wang Situ, who said that none of this was his fault and that the blame should be placed on Dong Zhuo.

At this moment, Diao Chan also came out. Wang Situ tactfully tried to leave, but Luo Chen unceremoniously pulled Diao Chan into his arms.

"Young master, please save me! I don't want to fall into that fat man's hands!"

Diao Chan was in tears, looking pitiful and as if she would die if you didn't help her.

Luo Chen was overjoyed and took out a bottle.

"Cicada, here's a nourishing pill. Look how thin you've become these past few days!"

After Diao Chan took the bottle, she drank it down in one gulp. After a while, Diao Chan felt that the man in front of her was incredibly handsome, as if she could only see him in a dream.

Luo Chen gently kissed Diao Chan's lips. At first, she resisted, but after Luo Chen said "be a good girl and cooperate," she didn't know why she was like a lost soul and directly met his lips.

At this moment, Luo Chen's hand also became restless, sliding directly into a mysterious place.

"The cicada's skin is still so smooth!"

Diao Chan had never spoken to a man like that before, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer. Suddenly, her body was grabbed hard.

Diao Chan cried out, and Luo Chen's heart suddenly burned with passion. He picked Diao Chan up and gently stroked her hair with one hand.

That night, for some unknown reason, thunder rumbled in the sky, and Wang Situ was kept awake all night by strange, inexplicable cries.

It wasn't until the next day that Dong Zhuo learned that Luo Chen had slept with the woman he had been longing for. He cursed inwardly, but as a ruler, how could he kill his subject for a woman?

Just then, Wang Situ arrived with his entourage, wanting to invite Dong Zhuo to ascend the throne as emperor. Dong Zhuo thought to himself that if he became emperor, who would dare to disobey him? However, Jia Xu stopped them all.

The various warlords outside were not convinced by Dong Zhuo, and it would be inappropriate for him to become emperor at this time. However, Dong Zhuo was furious. He thought, "I have saved the Han Dynasty time and time again. What's wrong with becoming an emperor?"

After Cao Cao and his men returned to their hometowns, they immediately launched a campaign against Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao responded to their call, and the people united to form the legendary Sixteen Warlords.

Soon the sixteen-route allied army arrived at Hulao Pass. Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong, and Dong Zhuo ordered Lü Bu to lead the expedition, forgetting all about Diao Chan.

Having obtained Diao Chan, Luo Chen no longer needed to linger in the capital. Just as he was about to leave, news arrived of Lü Bu's defeat, and he cursed him inwardly.

You rascal, why did you have to lose now of all times?

Alright, now there's no way to escape. Seeing that the allied forces were getting closer and closer, Dong Zhuo knew it was time to flee. So he had everyone get into the carriage, while he took Liu Xie and headed to Chang'an first.

Cao Cao and his troops arrived in pursuit. Wang Situ and Luo Chen, being among the last to depart, were also overtaken. Luo Chen had originally planned to use this opportunity to escape, but now he had run into Cao Cao...

Chapter 151 Heading to the Allied Forces

Cao Cao arrived with his troops. Li Jue's arm, which had been dislocated by Luo Chen last time, had just recovered, but Luo Chen gave him a wicked smile.

The unfortunate Li Jue only showed a look of "What do you want?" before his head was chopped off and sent flying into the air.

Cao Cao's troops had just arrived, and for a moment all the Xiliang soldiers were at a loss, looking at Luo Chen and then at Cao Cao.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Cao Cao shouted, and everyone immediately put their weapons on the ground.

Seeing Luo Chen, Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed, while Wang Situ took advantage of the chaos to walk out on his own.

"Brother Mengde, it's been a long time!"

Luo Chen simply smiled calmly. Cao Cao couldn't understand why Luo Chen always seemed so confident, but he knew that the Luo Chen before him was a hero of his time.

"Brother Luo Chen, it's been a long time!"

In fact, Cao Cao was already injured. He was chasing after them to put on a show for the so-called allies behind him, but he himself was indifferent.

After exchanging pleasantries, Cao Cao spoke first: "I wonder what Brother Luo Chen's plans are next?"

Luo Chen sighed: "I can summarize it in one sentence now."

"Hmm, what is it?"

"I can now say that I am neither an official nor capable, neither frost nor dust!"

Cao Cao, however, said with some disdain, "What kind of man would say such a thing? I wonder if Brother Luo Chen would be interested in joining my army?"

Luo Chen shook his head and smiled, "I have always admired the hermits in the mountains, so I won't go anywhere else."

Cao Cao also learned of Luo Chen's feelings, so he asked her to go to Luoyang with him first, and that other matters could be discussed later.

Luo Chen agreed and soon arrived at the allied camp. At that moment, Liu Bei was arguing fiercely with Yuan Shu because Yuan Shu had withheld his grain.

Cao Cao, accompanied by Luo Chen, saw everyone hurling insults at each other. Zhang Fei looked like he wanted to kill someone, while Liu Bei stood there dumbfounded, not saying a word.

There was really no point in staying here any longer. Seeing two more people walk in, he immediately went over and said to Luo Chen, "Greetings, sir. I am Liu Bei!"

Luo Chen greeted him and smiled slightly at his appearance.

Because this dignified imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty was dressed like a beggar, Sun Jian also walked in at this moment and directly stuck a long sword into the table.

"Just tell me, how are we supposed to fight this zhang?"

Sun Jian had suffered heavy losses and had lost the ability to reason with them anymore. Luo Chen then said, "Gentlemen, there's no point in discussing this here. When will the allied forces march towards Chang'an?"

Yuan Shao, the leader of the allied forces, said at this moment, "Such an important matter can be discussed later!"

Cao Cao merely cursed, "This brat is not to be trifled with," and then pulled Sun Jian and Liu Bei toward the door. Luo Chen simply bowed once and then turned back.

With Cao Cao and Liu Bei both backing down, the remaining people naturally began to fight and curse each other before long. So Luo Chen, along with Diao Chan and Cai Yan, were the first to retreat from the place.

Cao Cao originally wanted to retain Luo Chen, but he couldn't.

Before he knew it, Luo Chen arrived in Jeju, the legendary woman who had almost killed Cao Cao. Luo Chen was eager to see her for himself.

Upon entering the city, Luo Chen was greeted by a beautiful scene, with merchants moving about with measured steps. However, even in this seemingly peaceful place, Luo Chen knew that things were not entirely peaceful, so he took the initiative to rest in an inn.
