Chapter 1035 Fengxian's Choice

  The Hun Tian Body never expected that even though he had tried to be as careful as possible, waiting until many of the Turbid World deities and demons had departed before briefly coming here to touch and approach this sword that pierced through both the Clear and Turbid realms, and to gain some insights from it, using the long and continuous sound of the sword to soothe the restlessness and unease in his heart.

  He did not expect to be detected by this person.

  The armor worn by the latter seemed to have become one with his body, emitting a powerful black-red aura.

  This was a body forged from various natural treasures of the Turbid World.

  Rather than saying he was a resurrected fierce general,

  it would be more accurate to say that he was a weapon specifically created for slaughter on the battlefield.

  He exuded a power and aura far surpassing that of Lu Bu Fengxian in history. Only in this state was he worthy of being called Fengxian. Although the Hun Tian Body's strength was greater than Lu Bu Fengxian's at this moment, the latter was one of the Turbid World Great Lord's most trusted guards.

  Whether it was the exchange of sharp auras during their confrontation,

  or if he were to instantly unleash his full power and directly dismantle Lu Bu Fengxian,

  it would directly awaken the Turbid World Great Lord who was currently in slumber.

  At that time, the fact that he had regained his sanity and a new self would be impossible to hide.

  Even the newborn blank consciousness

  had a desire to survive.

  He was unwilling to disappear because of such a thing.

  Lu Bu Fengxian walked down step by step, the sound of the armor plates rubbing together cold and sharp. He reached out and pressed down the attack that the Hun Tian Body had subconsciously raised, and then gradually lowered it, saying calmly, "It's okay. If I had any hostility towards you, you would have already died."

  The corner of his mouth curved up, "I will inform the kind and respectable, great Turbid World Great Lord who is currently in seclusion."

  "Then, let Him personally deal with you."

  "And as the person who reported you, I can obtain enough rewards and importance without shedding a drop of blood."

  "Why would I bother to come out and meet you?"

  The Hun Tian Body's pupils contracted slightly.

  Lu Bu Fengxian walked step by step to the side of the sword, and then reached out, his hand resting on the long sword. It seemed that the Chang'an Sword sensed the existence of some kind of karma, so it did not immediately riot, but only emitted a slight cold sword hum, obviously not as docile and calm as it was in the hands of the Hun Tian Body.

  The Hun Tian Body said slowly, "What do you plan to do?"

  Lu Bu Fengxian raised his eyes slightly and said, "Do what?"

  He sneered, "I just find it very interesting."

  "That's all."

  The Hun Tian Body murmured, "Just very interesting?"

  The nascent blank consciousness was still unable to understand why this sentence could become the motivation for this person's actions.

  Therefore, he was still full of vigilance.

  Lu Bu Fengxian laughed loudly, his hand, which was huge compared to ordinary people, pressed on the hilt of the sword, and said, "If you had my experiences, you would naturally understand my motives."

  The Hun Tian Body said calmly, "I know."

  Lu Bu Fengxian raised his eyebrows, understandingly, "That's right, you yourself were personally created by that kind and respectable, great Turbid World Great Lord, and contain countless laws. Naturally, there is also the way of cognition among them. It's not difficult to know some of the historical records about me."

  He sneered lazily, "But I think they are all terrible records."

  "As for the good ones, none of them were recorded."

  "Rather, in the eyes of those people, I may not have anything good."

  The Hun Tian Body frowned and remained silent, just looking at the exceptionally tall war god in front of him.

  Lu Bu Fengxian looked calmly at his hand, "Fengxian? I was just born into an ordinary family, a border resident. My family like that was not qualified to have a courtesy name in that era. I was just a so-called mud leg. And the name Fengxian was the courtesy name given to me later by those people. Do you know what this means?"

  "Fengxian thinks of filial piety, then thinks of respect."

  "It seems to be recorded in a book called *Shu*."

  "In that chaotic world, people like me had no chance to rise to the top. Even Liu Xuande, who was said to have started from scratch in later generations, was with Gongsun Zan, a great family from the border, and was a disciple of the great Confucian scholar Lu Zhi. He spent money like water when he was young, and liked dogs, horses, music, and fine clothes. Because of his background, a wealthy man gave him a thousand gold."

  "And I, we mud legs from ordinary backgrounds, are ultimately just pawns in the eyes of the aristocratic families."

  "I killed Ding Yuan because he was stationed in the capital, and I killed Dong Zhuo because he was no longer the fierce general I knew who had fought the barbarians on the border all his life and never lost a battle. But at that time, I still had some hope in my heart. Later, Wang Yun sneered and rejected the suggestion I made to him with a smile."

  "They previously respected me as a Bing Province warrior, but later they laughed with others and said I was an ignorant brute."

  "I saw the so-called hero Cao Mengde slaughtering cities like killing chickens, so I attacked his back. But the world did not talk about Cao Mengde's slaughter and killing of cities, but said that my attack from behind was despicable. Then I saw that the so-called famous scholars used people as military rations, and I finally understood that the pen is held in the hands of scholars, in the hands of aristocratic families."

  "In this chaotic world, I am just a knife, a sword, and the aristocratic families are the ones who wield the sword."

  "Just like you, like me."

  "So, I am indeed quite curious about you."

  Lu Bu Fengxian's eyes fell calmly, looking at the Hun Tian Body in front of him, "What are you going to do?"

  The Hun Tian Body murmured, "...Weapon?"

  Lu Bu said, "Yes, a weapon, although full of martial prowess, is subject to others."

  "Isn't that just like you and me?"

  "And at this time, what are you going to do?"

  "Continue to be muddleheaded, hoping that one day something will happen to awaken you, and then make a choice? Or continue to be a weapon, letting the Turbid World Great Lord drive you?"

  "And if you encounter something that awakens you,"

  "then who is driving you, yourself, or the people you meet?"

  Lu Bu stared deeply at the Hun Tian Body in front of him.

  The Hun Tian Body murmured, the struggle, hesitation, confusion, and pain of these past few days all涌ed up. In front of him, Lu Bu's halberd rested on the ground, his body covered in black and red armor, his eyes deep and large, like a hungry tiger, the flames behind him rising, like a group of raging flames burning with unwillingness.

  The Hun Tian Body raised his head and looked at Lu Bu Fengxian in front of him, "What did you do..."

  Lu Bu Fengxian laughed. He wore a hideous helmet, revealing a chin with bluish-black stubble, and said, "Do you know why my reputation is so bad, even Yuan Shu, who was driven away by me across the river; Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain, who was 충阵ed by my dozens of riders, has a better name than mine?"

  The Hun Tian Body frowned.

  Lu Bu Fengxian said with a smile, "Because the pen is controlled by the aristocratic families and civil officials."

  He leaned forward slightly, his eyes seeming to burn with the most violent flames, and replied, "In that era, all the warlords and great families, from the emperor to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, the Jianghuai aristocratic families, the frontier warlords, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Jiangdong, were all my enemies!!!"

  "In that era, all the aristocratic families, all the people who held the pen, their masters had all tasted Lu Bu's military might."

  "Hahahaha, then how could their pens have a single good word about me, Lu Bu!?"

  The flames behind Lu Bu were like raging fire, reflected in the Hun Tian Body's bewildered eyes.

  "Before Cao Mengde, it was I who挟天子, and under H牢关, the eighteen warlords were like a group of rats."

  "I stepped through Jianghuai, and chased Yuan Shu across the river."

  The Hun Tian Body subconsciously said, "But, why... why didn't you do what you should have done in that era."

  Lu Bu Fengxian laughed loudly, "What you should have done?!"

  "Hahahaha, what you should have done?"

  "Then tell me? What is it that you should have done?! Is it to join Liu Bei or Cao Cao, to be a dog like Xiahou Dun? Or to honestly listen to the arrangement of those scholars, and do whatever they tell you to do?! In the end, what is the right thing to do?!"

  "This so-called right thing is just what the so-called Confucian scholars have set!"

  "And then the so-called geniuses, heroes, whether it is Cao Mengde or Liu Xuande, follow the path set by those Confucian scholars, go to fight, bleed, I don't understand, my family is poor, I only know how to herd sheep and kill barbarians, I have never read the so-called books of sages."

  "Why, I have never been influenced by Confucianism since I was a child, why should I follow the rules of Confucian monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons when I grow up? Are those rules set by a person called Confucius? Or are they the ropes that later generations rely on his name to forcibly tie around the necks of us mud legs?"

  "Why should his rules and his will be above my will?"

  "He is a human, aren't we humans?! Do we have to submit to the will of others?"

  "Why?!?"

  The Hun Tian Body subconsciously said, "This is because of the will of that era."

  And Lu Bu Fengxian's answer was still the same sentence, "Then, why must people obey the era?"

  !!!

  The Hun Tian Body 'saw' the fiery and crazy flames burning on Lu Bu Fengxian's body, a man who existed absolutely for himself, a man whose self-existence was so strong that it was as hot as fire. The corner of his mouth curved up, and he said, "In any case, the scolding of those scholars, on the contrary, represents that I did indeed hurt them severely."

  "So, Hun Tian? What choice are you going to make?"

  "Be swept along by this era and force, to be a sharp blade? Or... just rely on your own will and decision to纵横the world."

  The Hun Tian Body murmured, "Just be myself?"

  The tall war god reached out his hand towards the Hun Tian Body.

  Just like he once did towards Zhang Wenyuan and Gao Shun, the fiery flames were just to burn the world, to burn himself out.

  The Hun Tian Body's newborn will was originally blank, his pupils reflecting the flames. The undefeated god of war in the legend reached out his hand, pressed the Hun Tian's palm, and then pressed his palm on the hilt of the sword, saying, "I will help you obtain the right to use this sword, but you need to wait for a while."

  "You can also take a name."

  The Hun Tian Body was shocked.

  The flames were burning in Lu Bu Fengxian's eyes, and the corner of his mouth under the helmet curved slightly, "You, are not him."

  Lu Bu Fengxian carried his halberd on his shoulder and said:

  "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I will also help you think of a name."

  "I will apply to go to the Clear World to do something. Haha, a little Taoist told me that those Taoist arts have the invocation of gods. The names of the gods cannot be wrong, otherwise the gods may attract ghosts. The same is true for people. Change to a free enough name, 'Hun Tian'."

  The war god stepped away.

  The Hun Tian Body murmured and lowered his eyes.

  After a long time, Lu Bu Fengxian paused and turned his head coldly, "Come out!"

  The violent battlefield killing intent crazily suppressed, and a demon god rolled out of the void, his face pale, and said, "You!"

  The sound of weapons rang out, and the halberd was already抵着his throat, "What are you doing here?"

  The demon god shouted, "You! You actually want to betray the Great Lord?!"

  "Betray? What are you talking about?"

  Lu Bu Fengxian said lightly, "I am under the Great Lord's spell, I respect him more than you, and I protect him more."

  "I will never have evil thoughts towards the Great Lord for all eternity."

  "Are you doubting the Great Lord's methods?"

  The demon god's expression froze.

  Lu Bu retracted the halberd in his hand and said lightly, "I was just testing him, and sure enough, there is a problem."

  "I am just about to report back to the Great Lord."

  "Is, is that so?"

  The demon god had doubts in his heart, but after all, the Great Lord had cast the spell, and he could not confirm whether Lu Bu had betrayed him. At this time, Lu Bu said, "You wait outside, and after a while, I will meet the Great Lord with you and let Him decide, in order to reward merit." Hearing about rewarding merit, the demon god was overjoyed, nodded, and turned to leave.

  Suddenly, an extremely terrifying evil aura suddenly suppressed.

  It was as if he had traversed the battlefield, and almost all the famous generals of the same era had fought against him.

  It was the highest level of strengthening in the Turbid World.

  It made his body freeze in an instant.

  In the next moment, the halberd tore through the cold light and directly cut off his neck. The demon god said unwillingly, "You... The Great Lord resurrected you, don't you have any feelings of righteousness?"

  Lu Bu Fengxian stepped on his head under his feet.

  He碾了碾, and said lightly, "Ha! You are talking to me about feelings and righteousness?"

  "It's really unfortunate, the person in front of you is the most unfeeling and unrighteous person in this world!"

  He stepped down and directly burst open dirty blood, which landed on his hideous armor.

  Lu Bu Fengxian raised his eyes slightly, watching the towering and terrifying Turbid World Great Lord's palace, watching the vast and majestic turbid air surging.

  With a chin of black and blue stubble, the corner of his mouth curled into a hint of a smile.

  He sensed the countless restrictions in his soul.

  "But ah, I really think that letting the Hun Tian Body regain consciousness and have his own decisions is a good thing."

  "Perhaps he will be more loyal to the Great Lord?"

  "Isn't this a great thing?"

  "And if he is not loyal to the Great Lord..."

  Lu Bu sensed that the restrictions in his brain were about to act up, and his eyes seemed to burn with black flames that would never extinguish unless he died. His tone was vaguely mad and vaguely unrestrainedly arrogant: "Having such a strong person as an enemy."

  "Isn't that even more 快哉!!"

  "Ha!"

  The halberd was raised and rested on his shoulder, colliding with the armor, the sound was cold and stern, and the aura was滔天.

  "Mere restrictions."

  "What can you do to me? Because, I really think so..."

  "Kind and respectable, great Great Lord..."
