Chapter 133 - Beast-like Man
Chapter 133 - Beast-like Man
Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto
“RAAAAWWH!!!!”
Screamed Zhou Tai, now without limiters; his speed suddenly increasing twofold.
His stance changed from those of a human warrior, into that of quadruped with his serpent spear still tightly gripped on his hand.
Liu Mang looked at his new stance giving him a fright. Zhou Tai now is no longer a human, but a beast-man who wanted his prey.
Zhou Tai started his leap. His speed was like wind and his imposing body did not bother his strength.
Two of the Urban Army soldiers became victims of his first strike. Their heavy armors which was invincible when faced with sharp weapons, was cracked open by his strike.
“RETREAT!!!” Lu Lingqi's shouted coldly. If there are at least 500 elite soldiers, maybe Lu Lingqi
will not scream this order, but now there were only 100 soldiers who were a part of the Phalanx Formation and not elites. Their enemy was a superclass strength general and the Black Flag. It was impossible to mount an attack, so they only can retreat in order to reduce the casualties.
“Huang Xu, I am counting on you!!!” At the same time, Lu Lingqi said her order toward Huang Xu.
“Little madam, do not worry!!!” Huang Xu nodded.
After saying her order, Lu Lingqi quickly advanced again toward Zhou Tai.
“COME ON, COME ON!!!” Zhou Tai began excited again. The serpent spear in his hand collided with the halberd.
“ARGH!!!” Lu Lingqi’s strike was deflected by Zhou Tai. Her hand that was holding the halberd was now flying to the other direction, almost losing her grip on the halberd.
A Women’s natural strength has always been less than that of a man. Zhou Tai’s strike, after throwing away his limiter contained the force of a thousand-jin. And that thousand-jin was now redirected at Lu Lingqi’s throat like a poisonous snake.
About 1,000lbs of force.
If that attack connects, that living jade would be lost forever.
“WATCH OUT!!!!” Liu Mang exclaimed loudly. He wanted to shield her from the attack, but Huang Xu had already tugged his hand preventing further movement and said “Little lord, you are no match for Zhou Tai!”
Liu Mang who currently possess third-class general prowess was no match for Zhou Tai. If Liu Mang persisted to help, he will only be a hindrance toward Lu Lingqi. If that happened, Lu Lingqi’s concentration will break into two, one for fighting Zhou Tai and second to protect Liu Mang just the same like Liu, Guan, Zhang fought Lu Bu in Hulao Gate.
If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought him one-on-one, they were not a match. So they can only gang up on him and after Lu Bu gets a little tired fighting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei joined in on the fray. Such is the legend of the Three Heroes vs Lu Bu.
“Then you help her!!!” Liu Mang really anxious now. A moment ago, when Lu Lingqi and Huang Xu were fighting together, they only tied up with Zhou Tai. Huang Xu now was assigned to protect other people, how can Lu Lingqi hope to match Zhou Tai now?
Huang Xu quickly shook his head. Huang Xu was also in the same position as Liu Mang now. His strength had not yet reached superclass, so he will be just a hindrance, moreover he was also was tasked by Lu Lingqi to protect the other people.
“Tiiiiich!!!” Lu Lingqi’s armor was ripped by Zhou Tai’s strike. Although Lu Lingqi’s strength is the same as Zhou Tai, the woman’s body was more flexible than a man’s body. She can avoid Zhou Tai’s strike but due to the serpent spear’s design, it is now ripping her armor and injuring her.
“LING’ER!!!” Madame Yan is really anxious. That girl is her treasure, she and Lu Bu dotes on her very much. Lu Lingqi who was treasured by them so much has been injured, how cannot she worry now?
TL: Commentator, please give me your comments. Which one is better for Lu Lingqi affectionate call “Ling’er” or “Qi’er”? For this chapter, I will use Ling’er. (If TL Note is green, it means that TL is asking for mass opinion)
“Madame, please do not worry, little madam is all right!!!” Huang Xu assured Madame Yan. This kind of injury is very bad for average person, but in battle, it is considered as a very minor injury.
“NICE!!!” Zhou Tai grinned again, he thought that strike would be the killing blow but this lady unexpectedly avoided it.
He then quickly said “The next move will surely kill you!!!” Zhou Tai need to end the battle soon, he had already wasted too much time.
Zhou Tai’s serpent spear danced more quickly than before. Earlier Lu Lingqi still can fight blow to blow, now she can only go on the defensive. In a short while, her hand got a lot of small bloody spots.
“HMPH?!” Zhou Tai brow wrinkled. At the surface, Zhou Tai is on winning side, in the next dozen moves, the lady will die. But that needs time which is what Zhou Tai was lacking.
He is not as stupid, in just a few moments, he will be in a very bad predicament, even Xu Chu and Dian Wei who are not intelligent, if they were presented with current predicament, they will certainly retreat first. But Zhou Tai has his mission.
Zhou Tai then pressed his serpent spear toward Lu Lingqi and exclaimed “Lu Bu’s Army is garbage, depending on a woman to survive!!! COWARDS, ALL OF YOU!!! Lu Bu is a woman disguised as a man!!!”
TL: In ancient time, a man called a woman is a great insult and usually will be continued to fight to the death!!!
“GRRR, Hides behind a woman?! Depends on a woman to survive?!” The Urban Army soldiers who cannot endure being insulted suddenly charged toward Zhou Tai.
“HAAAAA!!!!” Zhou Tai serpent spear quickly pierced those Urban Army
Their stomachs were pierced. Although they are un-savable, they did not die immediately.
“DAMN!!!!” Liu Mang burning with anger. Those brothers died like trash. He wanted to retreat, but he cannot retreat, for he needed to protect other people.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, COME AGAIN, COME AGAIN, YOU COWARDS!!!! ALL THAT LU BU TEACHES YOU IS TO HIDE BEHIND A WOMAN, RIGHT?!!!! NO WONDER HE IS CALLED SLAVE OF THREE SURNAMES!!! KILL THE ADOPTIVE FATHER FOR A WOMAN, NOW HIDES BEHIND A WOMAN!!!!! I GUESS, EVEN IN DEATH ALL OF YOU ALSO HIDE BEHIND A WOMAN!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”
Zhou Tai is laughing maniacally. All of his Black Flags are also spouting sentences while laughing.
“SLAVE OF THREE SURNAMES IS A TRAITOR, UNLOYAL AND A COWARD!!!! ONLY HIDES BEHIND WOMAN!!!!”
“YOU WILL NOT INSULT MILORD, EVEN IN DEATH WE DO NOT HIDE BEHIND WOMAN!!!” Those Urban Army soldiers who cannot bear the insult, charged toward Zhou Tai.
Zhou Tai’s eyes are flashing again. But when he start stabbing them, Lu Lingqi blocked his strike.
“YOU…!” Lu Lingqi talked to herself in low voice. “ZHOU TAI!!! I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU ARE, I DO NOT IF YOUR STRENGTH HAS REACHED SUPERCLASS, I, LU LINGQI, WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO INSULT MY HONORABLE FATHER!!!!” Lu Lingqi showed killing intent.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I WILL SAY IT AGAIN AND AGAIN, SLAVE OF THREE SURNAMES’ LU BU ARMY IS COMPRISED ONLY A PERSON WHO WILL HIDE BEHIND A WOMAN!!!! AN ARMY OF GARBAGE!!!” Zhou Tai exclaimed loudly while preparing his stance again.
“AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!” Lu Lingqi roared her tigress roar. Bloodstain on her hips has made her anger increase even more. She is angry because he had damaged her womanly body. Although she liked martial arts more than putting on makeup, this does not mean that she liked having scars.
A scar on the hips, although it will not show daily when she is alone that scar really will make her brokenhearted.
She thought "Will Hanyang hate me for having this scar?!” Soon, they will be husband and wife, will he hate a scarred lady?
Unconsciously, Lu Lingqi had put Liu Mang in his mind all the time.
“THEN BEAR WITNESS TO THIS BY YOURSELF!!!” Lu Lingqi has made her stance.
“Hnn?!” Zhou Tai brow wrinkled, because the lady in front of him showed an imposing manner and aura that belongs to a superclass strength general. A lady who is less than 20 years is old able to have this aura? How can this be? Able to reach superclass strength before 20 years old, she is really scary.
In Zhou Tai’s heart, the one in Sun Ce’s army who had reached superclass strength is only him, his lord Sun Ce and general Taishi Ci. Even Taishi Ci just recently broke through into superclass strength at 25-26 years old. The famous Liu, Guan, Zhang needed more years than that.
“BAH, SUPERCLASS STRENGTH? SO WHAT, IF YOU REACH SUPERCLASS STRENGTH? I WILL SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US NOW!!!!” Zhou Tai charged toward Lu Lingqi with his four appendages, similar to a predator.
“I ALREADY SAID STOP INSULTING MY HONORABLE FATHER, BUT SINCE YOU DID NOT DO THAT, YOU DIE HERE!!!!” Lu Lingqi also shouted her anger. She is the daughter of a mighty tiger not a pet cat. Lu Lingqi since her childhood followed in Lu Bu’s steps. What Lu Bu wanted was a son, but he only had a daughter, therefore Lu Bu is disappointed in his heart.
Lu Lingqi is a very sensitive girl, therefore she can sense her father’s disappointment. Therefore from her childhood to adulthood, in order to make her proud of her, she had been trying so hard.
Other families’ daughters teach them how sew and discuss about marriage, Lu Lingqi had been training martial arts.
When other families daughters take care of their skin, Lu Lingqi’s hand and body had been wounded many times because of her determination to please her tiger father. Because of her efforts, she is able to have superclass strength at her young age, not an ounce less inferior than her father’s.
If she was a man, then history would have been rewritten by her hand!
When the Serpent spear and halberd clashed again, in the midair spark flew. Both people who reached superclass strength are fighting each other, one is to fulfill a mission and the other to defend her father’s honor.
Two warriors showdown, the West Wing’s open space had been completely occupied by their battle. Nobody can get near during their battle, if one got near them, they will be killed if not careful.
Before long, they have been fighting for more than 50 bouts, Zhou Tai’s body was also bleeding by the halberd’s blow.
“A WOUND?! I AM WOUNDED!!! IT HURRRRTTTTSSSSS!!!!” Zhou Tai has been stunned. He looks at his chest, that wound is so deep that one can see his bone now. When he touched the wound, he become really excited and crazy despite saying “IT HURTS!!!”
TL: This is just like Mr. Heart of Hokuto no Ken’s fame
He licked the blood from his finger.
“BLOOD!!! BLOOD!!!! AAAARRGH!!!!” Zhou Tai’s eyes turned red; sated he must kill human to sated his bloodlust. His presence was imposing, even the bystanders who saw him became uncomfortable, let alone Lu Lingqi.
“HE IS NOT HUMAN!!!” Lu Lingqi and Huang Xu simultaneously voiced their opinion.
“Not human?!” Liu Mang stunned. Then what is Zhou Tai? God? Monster?
Looking at Liu Mang’s doubtful expression, Huang Xu answered “This Zhou Tai was not raised by humans or it can be said he did not grew up together with human! He was raised by a predator!!!”
“Predator?!”
“That is correct! A Predator raised him!!!” Huang Xu confirmed it once more.
His father Huang Zhong, in order to find a cure for his illness, traveled around the nation. Now in times of war, many families were broken. Even the government cannot help them because they are busy taking care of their own. So, some children were swapped to be cooked and some of them were thrown away to die like wild animal.
Some of them were eaten by wild animals but some of them were actually adopted as well. These children grew up from infancy with wild animals. They ate raw meat ravenously. They are sensitive to blood, especially predators.
Predators were not like humans who are scared by the look of blood, instead it will make them crazier filled with frenzy. Being wounded will only let unlock their bestial side. These kind of people are called beast men.
Huang Zhong had once killed a beast man before. Because at that time, there was report surrounding Nanyang that a beast-like man had destroyed 100 government troops by himself.
Lu Lingqi just focused on Zhou Tai and did not bother with Huang Xu’s explanation. Lu Lingqi actually knew one other person who was like Zhou Tai.
That person was her father, Lu Bu.
Lu Bu not only had a Mighty Tiger as his title but also an Alpha Wolf. This title was not given to him by others. It was only known to one person, which is Ding Yuan.
At that time, before Lu Bu met Ding Yuan, Lu Bu was the leader of a pack of huge wolves. He was like a feral beast because of famine year after year. Famine that took his father and mother’s lives. So, he can only approach the wolves in order to survive and he had become the Alpha Wolf with many wolves following him.
So, invaders when hearing Lu Bu’s name, they are very panic stricken and screamed the “White Wolf God” has come.
“Poof!!!” Lu Lingqi suddenly was thrown away by Zhou Tai and was now floating above the ground. “How can that be?!” Lu Lingqi truly surprised because Zhou Tai’s movement so sporadic. Only by one move, Lu Lingqi whose strength had reached superclass was thrown into the air.
“BLOOD!!!! BLOOD!!!!” Zhou Tai was rampaging causing friendly fire everywhere.
He now targeted those Black Flag soldiers. One of them was bitten in the neck similar to predator killing its prey. Now Zhou Tai is drinking his blood.
“The leader went crazy!!!!” The Black Flag quickly ran away from Zhou Tai.
