Chapter 34 Yuwen Chenglong: Father, even beasts are more human than you.
"Hold back, don't hurt your opponent. There's a hundred-nation martial arts competition in a couple of days."
After thinking for a moment, Yang Guang said.
He certainly didn't want both of these generals to be injured when the duel came to take place.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Yuwen Chengdu was full of confidence and walked towards the open space with the Phoenix Wing Gilded Axe in his hand.
"Brother, go easy on me later."
Yuwen Chenglong gave a warning: "Be careful not to injure Lü Xiao."
"General Tianbao, come here."
Lu Xiao stood still, holding the halberd Wutian in his hand.
Yuwen Chengdu shouted and launched the first attack.
He concentrated all his life's power into his arms, and with the force of a thousand pounds, he smashed the gilded axe down on Lü Xiao with a move as heavy as Mount Tai!
Faced with such an attack, Lü Xiao neither dodged nor evaded, but instead raised his halberd to block and shouted, "Open!"
A deafening crash resounded, like a thunderclap in mid-air.
The two weapons clashed, scattering countless golden sparks. Yang Guang, Yuwen Huaji, and the others who were watching all covered their ears and retreated.
Yuwen Chengdu felt his arms go numb and sore, and the gilded axe even made a buzzing sound from the recoil.
With one move, he was forced to retreat several steps, shattering the blue bricks on the ground.
He was secretly shocked; Lü Xiao's strength was truly astounding, and he had underestimated him.
"General Tianbao, take this!"
Lu Xiao, having gained the upper hand, showed no mercy. With a flick of his halberd, he unleashed the Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea technique.
The shadows of halberds appeared in great numbers, transforming into a ball of silver light that enveloped Yuwen Chengdu.
Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly tried to block, but Lü Xiao's strength was astonishing.
The halberd was as heavy as a mountain and as fast as lightning. Each strike made his arm go numb and his blood and qi surge.
"Brother, don't give way anymore, just give way a little!"
Seeing that Lü Xiao was gaining the upper hand, Yuwen Chenglong thought to himself that his elder brother was really giving him face.
However, if we continue to concede, we will lose, and then our elder brother will no longer be the number one warrior of the Sui Dynasty.
"Didn't we agree to be more careful?"
Yang Guang watched the two men wielding their halberds back and forth, completely mesmerized.
He thought Yuwen Chengdu was invincible, but he never expected that someone was even more powerful than him!
Whose subordinate is this?
Oh, it's mine, then it's alright.
After another ten rounds, Yuwen Chengdu was drenched in sweat from his heavy armor, and his arms felt as heavy as lead.
Seeing an opening, Lü Xiao unleashed his halberd like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, aiming straight for his opponent's heart.
Yuwen Chengdu barely managed to parry with his horizontal halberd, but little did he know that Lü Xiao's move was a feint.
Suddenly, the halberd changed its move midway, hooking the crescent blade onto the cymbal handle and twisting it with great force!
With this twist, the power of the two elephants was instantly unleashed.
Yuwen Chengdu felt an overwhelming force surge through him, and he could no longer hold on to it. The Phoenix Winged Gold-Plated Axe that had accompanied him in battle for many years flew out of his hand.
With a loud thud, it landed more than five zhang away, its golden wings trembling and whimpering.
Lu Xiao thrust out his halberd, the tip of which touched three inches in front of Yuwen Chengdu's throat, remaining completely still.
"Taibao, you are indeed extraordinary."
Yuwen Chengdu gave up resistance and stopped making moves.
Lü Xiao was indeed more powerful than he had imagined.
It's no wonder he proposed a martial arts competition between one country and a hundred countries; he had the confidence to do so.
"Brother, you've given me too much leeway. Don't do that next time."
Yuwen Chenglong stepped forward and spoke.
I didn't give way.
Yuwen Chengdu silently retrieved the Phoenix Wing Gilded Axe.
"You didn't allow it?"
Yuwen Chenglong grimaced. Oh no, he'd become the younger brother of the second most powerful general in the Sui Dynasty.
"Taibao is truly exceptionally brave; this first battle is indeed best left to you."
Yuwen Huaji lowered his head, unable to suppress the murderous intent in his eyes.
The title of the greatest warrior of the Sui Dynasty can only belong to the Yuwen family.
Lü Xiao must die.
Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.
"Thank you for your praise, Prime Minister."
Lu Xiao, with his head held high, knew perfectly well what Yuwen Huaji was thinking.
"Zilie, not bad, very good!"
Yang Guang patted Lü Xiao's arm, his eyes practically glued to Lü Xiao's body.
Invincible! The Sui Dynasty is truly invincible now.
In the past, when he used Yuwen Chengdu, he still had to be wary of Yuwen Huaji.
Although Yuwen Chengdu was loyal to the emperor and loved his country, Yuwen Huaji was, after all, his father.
Lu Xiao was different; he was one of the old imperial uncle's men.
He trusted Yang Lin more than Yuwen Huaji.
"Your Majesty, now that the matter has been settled, I will return to make preparations."
Lü Xiao chose option two, and it's unclear whether the message was sent home.
"it is good."
Yang Guang nodded. He thought that Lü Xiao must be tired after fighting for so long today, and he should take a rest.
Immediately, the group left the Imperial Garden and passed by the Sui West Garden.
This is the entrance to the royal garden, a place you can visit and enjoy at your leisure.
The enclosed areas within the garden are used to house various birds and animals.
Before they could stop walking, they heard panicked cries coming from inside the garden.
"Yan Yu has escaped! Quickly notify the Imperial Guards!"
"His Majesty is in the Imperial Garden; let's not disturb his presence!"
Along with human voices, a wild beast's roar could also be heard.
Soon, a huge tiger appeared in the field of vision of Lü Xiao and the others.
Its back has black and yellow stripes, with the yellow parts being close to dark orange and the black stripes being wide and clear.
There are three vertical lines and one horizontal line in the center of his forehead, naturally forming the Chinese character "王" (wang, meaning king).
What is most shocking is that this tiger is huge; excluding its tail, it is already more than ten feet long.
If we replace it with meters, it would be about three meters.
Its weight is astonishing; you can feel the vibration under your feet when you run on the ground. It weighs over 700 pounds.
"Does my garden still have these things?"
Yang Guang remained calm, as he had Yuwen Chengdu and Lü Xiao by his side.
Let alone one, even if there were three or five, Yuwen Huaji and Yuwen Chenglong would be the first to be eaten.
"Chengdu, protect His Majesty!"
Upon seeing this, Yuwen Huaji knew it was time for him to make his presence known again.
"Your Majesty, step back! I will subdue this beast!"
Yuwen Chengdu was afraid that the tiger would frighten Yang Guang, so he rushed forward in one stride.
"General Tianbao, I'm coming!" Lü Xiao was even faster than Yuwen Chengdu, and immediately roared, "Beast! The Emperor is here, how dare you be so insolent!"
"This thug is really crazy. How could a beast understand human speech?"
Yuwen Huaji chuckled. For ordinary people, the title of "Son of Heaven" naturally meant kneeling in worship.
However, what happened next made Yuwen Huaji, who was still laughing, shut his mouth.
Upon hearing Lü Xiao's roar, the tiger immediately lay down on the ground and prostrated itself.
"Um?"
Yang Guang was slightly taken aback. How could the name of the emperor really frighten a wild beast?
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lü Xiao stepped forward, flipped over, and leaped onto the tiger's back, saying:
"His Majesty's divine might is so great that even beasts must kneel in reverence!"
"Haha, Zi Lie is right!"
Yang Guang laughed for a while, "That's how it is, that's how it is."
Seeing that the tiger had been subdued by Lü Xiao, Yuwen Chenglong took two steps forward and stroked it with his hand.
He turned his head and said, "Father, I can see it now. This tiger is more intelligent than you."
