Chapter 144 Liu Bei Conquers People with Virtue
Once his third eye was opened, Wang Jing used the art of gazing at Liu Bei's fortune, only to discover that the three brothers in front of him were all connected by destiny, and that they would prosper together and suffer together.

If you kill any one of them, the other two will fight to the death.

Even if the Wang family of Taiyuan had done Guan Yu a favor in the past, how could this favor compare to the friendship of the Peach Garden Oath?
If he kills Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will become his mortal enemies.

"Sure enough, you can't have your cake and eat it too."

Wang Jing was quite helpless at the moment. He was like a customer who encountered a bundled sale. He wanted to buy two items, but he also got a weird one with them. So he had to buy them together.

If it were someone else, it would be fine, it would just be an extra salary, and the Northern Army doesn't lack this little money now.

But that person is Liu Bei!
It’s not that Liu Bei has a bad character. In fact, Wang Jing thinks that Liu Bei has the strongest character among the Three Kingdoms.

But Liu Bei was a man with a strong destiny. Looking at his early job-hunting experience, basically whoever became his boss would be unlucky, and the bad luck would last for eight lifetimes.

Historically, Liu Bei followed Lu Zhi in his early years. However, after Lu Zhi put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was falsely accused by the eunuchs. Later, he was hunted down by Dong Zhuo. He returned to his hometown and died within two years of his retirement.

Later, Liu Bei followed Gongsun Zan. As a result, although Gongsun Zan originally had absolute advantage in the north and his military strength crushed Yuan Shao, in the Battle of Jie Bridge, 20,000 Youzhou cavalry were defeated by Qu Yi's 800 vanguard troops, and Gongsun Zan lost his position as the overlord of the north, and his family was wiped out!

Liu Bei surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao lost his eldest son Cao Ang and general Dian Wei in Wancheng!
Liu Bei surrendered to Yuan Shao and the Battle of Guandu broke out. Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei, was defeated in one battle and died of illness shortly afterwards!
After that, there were Tao Qian and Liu Biao. The results are self-evident. Almost wherever Liu Bei went, the local princes would be in trouble. He was truly a star doomed to fail.

People say that Lu Bu is a slave of three surnames, but in fact Liu Bei is much more ruthless than him.

"I have a headache..."

Wang Jing is really in a difficult situation now. He knows that he should not believe in metaphysics, but Liu Xuande’s name contains the word “Xuan”, and this man is really poisonous.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Wang Jing finally decided to try to subdue Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

There is no way, who wouldn’t want two future top-notch warriors?

Seeing that Wang Jing had not spoken for a long time, Lu Bu took the initiative to clasp his fists and said, "How can such a coward be qualified to challenge the lord? It is better for me to fight and take down these three heads."

Wang Jing smiled and waved his hand: "No, if they want to challenge me, I will give them a fair chance to fight me."

The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang and their troops were now surrounded and had no way to escape.

Wang Jing specifically ordered his men to clear a piece of open space as a place for the battle, and then looked at the three brothers: "Come on, if you can defeat me, you can leave safely today."

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, and asked directly: "Are you serious, Lord Qi?"

"A gentleman's word is as good as a whip to a horse, and I never break my word."

Wang Jing had already made up his mind to defeat Liu, Guan and Zhang at once and to crush them in an upright manner.

"Okay, then I won't be polite with you!"

Seeing Wang Jing's weak arms and legs, Zhang Fei volunteered to jump out and wanted to be the first to challenge Wang Jing in a duel, preferably to capture Wang Jing alive: "I'll fight you to the death!"

Wang Jing smiled and shook his finger.

Zhang Fei was anxious, thinking that Wang Jing was going to go back on his word and ask, "Why, do you want to go back on your word?"

"It's too unfair for you to fight me one-on-one."

Wang Jing looked around with a proud attitude, pointed at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, then pointed at the Youzhou cavalry behind them, and said calmly: "Come together, bring your soldiers with you, this is barely fair."

"Insanity!"

Guan Yu was completely enraged by Wang Jing's contempt and arrogance. He rushed towards Wang Jing dragging his Qinglong Yanyue Sword and started with a fierce slash, with the force of splitting Mount Hua.

This is the first of the "Three Styles of Spring and Autumn", which was inspired by "Guliang Zhuan" and is called the Spring and Autumn style of writing. After it is slashed out, the speed is uncertain, and it is both hard and soft. The knife intention is tortuous and erratic, making it difficult to grasp and defend against.

The enormous force seemed to be able to shatter the earth and split mountains and rocks.

But his moves were light, nimble, and erratic, like mist in the mountains.

Dang~
However, Guan Yu's incredible and stunning sword strike was caught by Wang Jing, who was practicing the five great magical skills at the same time and whose body had entered an overclocked state by simply raising his hand.

The blade was held by five fingers and could not move at all.

"what!"

"How could this be?"

Zhang Fei and Liu Bei were both shocked. They knew very well how powerful Guan Yu's swordsmanship was, as they had been together day and night.

Even Zhang Fei didn't dare to take such a blow head-on. He could only dodge or block to relieve the force, otherwise his blood would surge and his knuckles would crack.

But what about Wang Jing?

A hand was just raised casually and caught it so casually?
They couldn't believe what they were seeing!
"Come together! Otherwise, we will surely be defeated!"

Zhang Fei, who never believed that someone could be so strong, had to admit at this moment that the man in front of him was simply an ancient ferocious beast from the primitive world. His strength was beyond imagination and incredible.

The Zhangba Snake Spear shot out like a dragon and stabbed towards Wang Jing fiercely.

In a desperate situation, Zhang Fei did not hold back at all, and this stab used up all his strength!
Stepping forward, twisting his waist, the force was transmitted from the ground through the close coordination of muscles. Under the pressure of life and death crisis, Zhang Fei performed beyond his normal level! This strike was unprecedentedly perfect, and it was simply the peak of his entire life!

Zhang Fei loved calligraphy since he was a child. When he was young, he spent a lot of money to buy a piece of "Flying White Sword Post" written by Cai Yong. He studied hard every day and practiced diligently. Finally, he realized his own martial arts truth and created his own "Iron Wing Divine Spear".

Use the gun as a pen and apply calligraphy to martial arts.

What is used at this time is the first style, Iron Painting and Silver Hook!

The inspiration for this move comes from the running script in calligraphy. The master picks up the brush and dips it in ink, writes with a flick of the pen, and uses the magic gun to decide life and death.

When attacking, it is as smooth as flowing clouds and running water, graceful and swift. The moves are often simple and unpretentious, yet sharp and incisive, making it difficult for people to resist.

Zhang Fei used his snake spear as a pen to decide Wang Jing's life or death!

Wang Jing did not dodge or evade. He grabbed Guan Yu's crescent-shaped sword and pressed it lightly. The force of moving a mountain caused his sword to deflect and fall, just in time to deflect Zhang Fei's attack.

Then he suddenly punched out with both fists, using his fists as swords, and displayed the unique skills of the "Divine Feather Sword Sutra". With one move, the divine thunder shook the world, and combined with the secret technique of the ape-howling sound attack in the "White Ape Sword Art", he burst out with strength, and with his unparalleled power, he knocked the two peerless tiger generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, flying backwards, and after landing, they directly fell into gourds rolling on the ground.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were knocked dizzy and their blood was boiling. When they struggled to get up, they saw that a fist mark had been punched out on the heart-protecting mirror on their chest, which was as hard as a magic weapon. They were immediately shocked and said, "This is still a human!"

Lu Bu's strength has already surprised them greatly.

Wang Jing’s strength and ferocity made them feel even more outrageous.

How could there be such a powerful person in the world!
Lu Bu, who was watching the battle outside the battlefield, was also excited and his blood was boiling. The powerful martial arts displayed by Wang Jing after entering the overclocking state made him, as a warrior, awed. This is why he never dared to betray Wang Jing.

Lu Bu betrayed Ding Yuan because Ding Yuan was not strong enough.

He betrayed Dong Zhuo because Dong Zhuo treated him as a slave.

But Wang Jing was different. Not only was he respected by Wang Jing, but Wang Jing was also powerful enough for him to have no intention of betraying him.

"I haven't lost yet, second brother, third brother, don't give up!"

On the battlefield, Liu Bei, who witnessed Wang Jing's extraordinary ability, turned out to be the most determined among the three brothers. Until this moment, he still did not give up hope of victory.

"Marquis Qi, come and fight!"

Liu Bei directly commanded his soldiers to rush forward to surround and kill Wang Jing.

Although it was shameless, Wang Jing said that he could bring his soldiers with him, and Liu Bei was not prepared to talk about the code of conduct. Who doesn't know a little bit of thick black art if he can become a local lord?
The hundreds of Youzhou soldiers led by Liu Bei were also very loyal to him, and they rushed towards Wang Jing without thinking.

There were also dozens of archers who, under Liu Bei's command, quietly hid behind and prepared to shoot arrows.

It is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. In history, countless great warriors died from hidden arrows. In Liu Bei's view, no matter how good you are at fighting, Wang Jing, can you withstand a hidden arrow?

"Use the armor-piercing arrow to shoot him to death!"

咻咻 咻 ~
A round of volleys, dozens of arrows arrived in an instant.

The metal arrowhead reflected the sunlight, emitting a cold and chilly glow. The specially weighted arrowhead provided the arrow with more powerful kinetic energy, which was enough to break through most heavy armors, even Ming Guang armor, within twenty steps.

However, facing such powerful armor-piercing arrows, Wang Jing neither blocked nor dodged, allowing them to fall on him. "It's done!"

When the arrow was about to hit, Liu Bei was surprised.

However, the next second, he felt what despair was.

The heavy arrow that could penetrate armor fell on Wang Jing like a meteor striking the moon, but was blocked by two folded wings. Under the golden-red flames, the arrowhead was directly melted by the high temperature and turned into a pool of molten iron.

As for the arrow shaft, it was burned into carbon ash and blown away by the wind.

"Protective air armor!"

"This doesn't look like the Golden Armor Yuan Gong, does it?"

"This is a move I created based on the Nine Refinements of True Yang and combined with my own martial arts training. It is called Heavenly Flame Feathers. Its protective ability is not inferior to that of a treasure armor."

Wang Jing said calmly that the reason he created this move was because the gilded tiger-patterned armor was damaged in the battle with Sun Jian, proving that the Golden Armor Yuan Gong was not invincible.

Therefore, Wang Jing borrowed the design principles of the reactive armor on later tanks, and based on the foundation of "Nine Refinings of True Yang", he created the defensive spell Tianyan Lieyu.

The Sky Flame Fiery Feathers are made of heavenly fire, which transform into flaming feathers to protect the body. Through the continuous burning of the holy flame, a special Dharma image is condensed to form a protective air shield around the body, thus providing all-round protection.

Any attack launched by the opponent will detonate the Fierce Feather on Wang Jing's body. If it is a long-range attack, the power will be offset by the explosion of the Fierce Feather.

If it is a close combat, it will be terrible, and you will be hit by an anti-personnel mine head-on.

Liu Bei was impressed by Tian Yan Lieyu's power and couldn't help but reveal an expression of disbelief again. Today alone, his spirit and will were almost numb from the continuous shock.

Wang Jing ignored the attack of the armor-piercing heavy arrows and rushed directly into the crowd, starting a rampage mode.

In just a cup of tea, a large number of people were lying on the ground.

Seeing his soldiers being knocked to the ground by Wang Jing, Liu Bei had no choice but to face the challenge and use "Jiangshan Sword Qi" again to stop Wang Jing and restrain him.

The female sword in the right hand is feminine and gentle.

The sword in the left hand is strong and swift.

Liu Bei moved both hands at the same time, combining hardness and softness, both offensively and defensively. He constantly used his soft sword to dissolve Wang Jing's attack force, while at the same time using his force to counterattack with his hard sword.

And every time he drew his sword, he made flexible use of the terrain and constantly tried to disrupt Wang Jing's body balance. Such swordsmanship was truly magical and beyond words.

"The ruler and his subjects look after each other, and the left and right respond to each other. What a great Gu-Ying sword technique!"

Wang Jing's eyes lit up. He had to admit that he had underestimated Liu Bei before. He didn't expect that Liu Bei's martial arts attainments were so amazing!

"Among the swordsmanship masters I have met, only Sword Saint Wang Yue is slightly better than you in terms of swordsmanship."

Wang Jing transformed his fist into a palm and unleashed a double flaming sun shock. He gathered the true fire in his palm and struck out with a bang.

The hidden power was hidden within the obvious power, and the deafening series of attacks immediately broke through Liu Bei's soft power defense. He only neutralized the first part of the attack, and when he was about to counterattack, the second part of the attack broke out immediately, shaking his internal organs, making him spit blood and stagger back.

"What a pity! Your cultivation is insufficient and your foundation is too weak. No matter how exquisite your moves are, you can't resist my One Force Breaking All Methods."

Wang Jing took advantage of the situation and planned to capture Liu Bei first and break the encirclement of the three brothers.

Among Liu, Guan and Zhang, Liu Bei's weaknesses are the most obvious and he is the weak link among the three.

"Liu Xuande, can you block this punch of mine that has accumulated twenty years of experience?"

Wang Jing threw a simple bow-step punch straight at Liu Bei's chest.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came from behind Liu Bei. They were about to block Wang Jing's powerful punch, but Liu Bei suddenly shouted, "Use your special move!"

Hearing the word "unique move", Guan Yu and Zhang Fei changed their moves without hesitation. However, when they swung their swords and spears, their target of attack changed from Wang Jing to Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei seemed to have expected this. He used his two swords to block left and right respectively, and used his own strength to forcibly withstand the attack force of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and put it to his own use.

"A gentleman is one who holds the world with great virtue! Wang Jing, take this, this sword is named Virtue!"

The two swords together are like the solid earth, supporting countless lives.

Liu Bei, with his own strength, bore the strongest attacks from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, accepted them into his own Dantian Qi sea, and then harmonized the yin and yang, water and fire, and burst them out all at once.

It was after the Peach Garden Oath that Liu Bei created this ultimate killing move, which was named "De".

"What a good way to win people over with virtue!"

Even a strong man like Wang Jing was amazed by Liu Bei's sword.

You have to know that at this time Liu Bei was just in his early thirties, Guan Yu was twenty-nine, and Zhang Fei was twenty-four. The three of them were full of luck and took advantage of the opportunity of a reshuffle in troubled times. There must be huge room for growth in the future.

If faced with the same combined attack from the three brothers ten years later, Wang Jing would have no choice but to flee.

It's a pity that the brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang have not yet fully grown up. No matter how talented they are, they can only suffer defeat when facing Wang Jing who has already activated cheats.

Boom~
Wang Jing punched the sword with his fist, and the powerful force of his fist shattered Liu Bei's sword.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also exhausted from the battle, and could only support themselves by leaning on their weapons. Both of them looked at Wang Jing as if he were a monster, and for the first time they experienced what it meant to be "invincible."

Wang Jing walked up to Liu Bei, who was half-kneeling on the ground and trying to stand up, and looked down at him: "Surrender, you three brothers can't defeat me."

"How can a man kneel down and surrender to a traitor? If you want to kill me, just kill me. No need to waste words."

Liu Bei's words made Wang Jing laugh out loud.

"why are you laughing!"

"Sorry, I couldn't help it."

Wang Jing looked at Liu Bei with contempt, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person, and asked in return: "You said I am a traitor?"

Liu Bei suddenly felt very unhappy: "Aren't you?"

"of course not."

Wang Jing knew that it would be much more difficult to convince Liu Bei, the true dragon of Shu Han, than to defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with force. But Wang Jing was not panicked at all because he was fully confident.

"Liu Xuande, let me ask you, before the late emperor passed away, he freely appointed members of the royal family to serve as governors in various places. What was the purpose of this move?"

Wang Jing first asked Liu Bei a question that completely confused him. He had no idea how to answer it.

Because of the enfeoffment of the royal family, this action itself was very strange, as if the head of the family was still there, but he began to divide the family property and prepare to disband.

There is no doubt that in the eyes of many people, this move by Emperor Ling was pure nonsense and was the kind of move that only a foolish ruler would make, because doing so would in fact cause the territorial division of the Yanhan Dynasty and accelerate local separatism.

"How should I know?"

After all, he was a member of the Liu family, so Liu Bei didn't feel comfortable scolding Emperor Ling for being stupid and incompetent.

Wang Jing sneered at Liu Bei and said, "You lack strategic vision. No wonder you have accomplished nothing at the age of thirty."

"How dare you humiliate my brother!"

The lord was humiliated and the minister died. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't help but jump out and glared at Wang Jing angrily.

"What, am I right?"

Wang Jing's contemptuous eyes swept over Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in turn, and finally fell on Liu Bei again: "You are a descendant of Emperor Gaozu and a relative of the Han Dynasty, but you don't even know your real enemy. Instead, you call me a traitor. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"The real enemy?"

Liu Bei felt dizzy after being scolded by Wang Jing. Lacking a first-class adviser to assist him, he had no idea of ​​the general situation in the world. He could only act recklessly without any strategic goals and could only make some efforts at the tactical level.

Being looked down upon by Wang Jing at this moment, he could not understand why he was looked down upon. He was very mad and was so angry that his hair exploded: "Qi Hou, what do you mean by that? Explain it clearly to me!"
