Battle Royale of the Sinners

Liu Ping Army stopped in front of the formation of Dong Zhuo shield infantries.

The prince stepped down from his horse and walked toward the opposite army alone. He continued to walk and stopped at 20 meters in front of the opposite army.

His action further confused the troops on both sides and the scouts from He Jin. Coming here to confront or negotiate with Dong Zhuo was the only plausible reason for Liu Ping to be here, but going in there alone was something none of them had expected.

"I've come as the crown prince of the Han Dynasty. I want to speak with Dong Zhuo himself! Any unnecessary asswipe can scram yourself! Get that fatass idiot over here and have him kowtow to me!"

"Huh!?"

"What did you say!?"

Dong Zhuo's soldiers were enraged. Even if he was a prince, insulting their Lord in their faces was an unforgivable action.

Guo Si, who was one of the commanders of Dong Zhuo Army, had a mocking smile on his face. He picked up his bow and drew a half-circle. Then he fired an arrow, which he aimed at the head of Liu Ping.

The arrow was shot out from the bow at a high-speed, and it flew toward Liu Ping in an instant.

The eyes of Liu Ping rolled upward and locked onto the arrow. He raised his left hand and grabbed the arrow in mid-air before it could pierce through his skull.

"Nani!?"

Guo Si was astonished. That shot was aimed for the kill, yet Liu Ping caught the arrow as if it was nothing.

Liu Ping glanced around for 3 seconds. After which, he found Guo Si with his bow and stunned look on his face.

"You dropped this. I'll return it to you."

The right hand of Liu Ping pinched shaft of the arrow, then he made a motion as if he was throwing a dart.

The arrow flew forward at the speed of 100kmh and stabbed into Guo Si left shoulder.

"Ugh!"

Guo Si stumbled two steps back as he was pierced by the arrow. The shaft and the arrow itself embedded into his flesh and cracked his collarbone.

"My, my. I missed. My sincerest apology. Next time, I'll be sure to aim at your forehead."

"You …!"

All eyes stared at Ping and Guo Si in shock. Normally, throwing an arrow barehanded would not cause such an injury, let alone pierce through the outer armor.

But Liu Ping just threw the arrow barehanded in front of them, and it injured their commander.

"Hah! That's a small parlor trick you have. Let see if you can handle this!"

A haughty voice came from the side, Li Jue was rushing at Liu Ping on his warhorse. He planned to run Ping over with his horse charge.

Liu Ping turned toward the oncoming horseman. He still had a faint smile on his face. He extended his left arm forward while he put his right hand behind his back.

'Idiot! You're thinking you can stop my horse charge with just one arm? I'll be taking your left arm then!'

Li Jue laughed at the attempt of Liu Ping to block his charge. He galloped his warhorse with all of his strength. He could not wait to see the cocky prince crushed into mincemeat by horse feet.

Ping's left hand made a contact with the charging horse. Something unexpected happened again.

Upon the impact, the horse was stopped, and Li Jue was ejected from the horseback into mid-air by the physic momentum. The worldview of Li Jue spun as he was flipped upside down. He eventually crashed and rolled on the ground by the ejected force, which he fell unconscious on the impact.

All soldiers who witnessed the event opened their mouth wide in shock, even Guo Si could not believe what he had seen.

Liu Ping just stopped the horse charge with a single arm!

Furthermore, Ping just gripped its front armor chest and lift the entire warhorse into the air as if he was lifting a weightless kettle!

It was well-known that an average horse usually weighed half a ton while the warhorse weighed one ton! Moreover, it wore iron armor plate on its body and carried other weapons on its side. Total weight of that horse was no less than 2 tons!

"I-Impossible!"

"N-No way!"

…

There was a reason behind Liu Ping's feat. His [Super Human] was at work.

****************************************

[Super Human] Cannot be leveled up

- Multiply the host physical strength, vitality, dexterity, agility and stamina by 100 times.

- Upkeep: 9 Lifespan per year.

****************************************

It was a simple skill that Ping had created when he came into this world. At first, he created it randomly out of panic because of the time limit that the system gave him.

After he started using it on the day he was sentenced to death by his father, he became aware of how useful this skill was.

The strength that he had alone could destroy a city wall easily with a simple punch. If he exerted more strength or speed, no one in this world would be his match in an unarmed fight.

Later on, after his [Superior Plot Armor] skill was nerfed, he discovered another usage of this skill. Because his vitality increased by 100 times of the original amount, he could withstand any attack by the local natives. As long as his opponent was not an otherworlder, he would not be injured.

Thus, it gave him the confidence that even if he did not have a life-saving skill, he would still be invincible on the battlefield.

…

Ping put down the horse to the ground and pat its head. Though the horse stopped moving after it was landed on the ground, its entire body was shaking in fear.

Liu Ping put his hands behind his back and strolled toward the formation of Dong Zhuo Army with his faint smile.

"Now, gentlemen. Please be civil and drag that fatso over here. Or else, I don't mind shredding every single of you into pieces then I'll burn all the fats in that idiot's body as your incense!"

The troops glared at Liu Ping in anger. However, none of them dared to step forward to challenge him.

One of them mustered his courage and attacked Liu Ping with his spear, but it could not pierce through his skin.

Ignored the attacking soldier, Liu Ping continued to move forward, which made the soldiers became more nervous.

Another group of soldiers lost their patience. They also tried to attack Liu Ping, which had the same result as the previous soldier's attempt.

Liu Ping harrumphed and shoved all weapons away. Soldiers were pushed on the chest by Ping's palm strike and flew into the air as if they were hit from a strike by a cultivator in a movie. The unlucky one was hit by Ping's back fist in the face which he died on the spot as his head was crushed and disfigured.

All soldiers nearby retreated in fear. They all made a circle around him, but they did not dare to approach Liu Ping further.

"That's enough! Make way!"

Another rough voice came from behind the formation line. Hua Xiong and Dong Zhuo walked pass the crowd of soldiers.

"Dong Zhuo, Governor of Tian Shui District, greets His Highness!"

Dong Zhuo cupped his fist and pointed it toward Liu Ping, but he did not bow to him. If this action was seen by any strict elder, he would be scolded for days.

Liu Ping did not mind Dong Zhuo's manner. He came for a serious business proposal, so their standing was equal, to begin with.

Liu Ping spoke out in a loud voice, yet his demeanor was still casual and relax. His words were like thunder to Dong Zhuo and his officers.

"I'll cut the formality. Dong Zhuo, do you prefer to be the Chancellor for less than a one-year-old baby and be ridiculed as a tyrant, or do you prefer to be hailed as a righteous hero of the Han Dynasty and be officially appointed as a prime minister?"

Dong Zhuo was shocked and astonished. Liu Ping just said what he initially planned with Li Ru, which he plotted to entitled himself as the Chancellor of Han Court by claiming that the emperor was still too young to handle the government works.

'How did he know that I want to entitle myself as a Chancellor? But being a hero is nice. I should listen to him first before I make my decision. Empress He has already fallen to my scheme. I have another option to pick if this Liu Ping is too suspicious.'

"What do you want then?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"Be my subordinate, and I'll lead you to the Capital. Help me be the new Emperor and you'll be the new prime minister!"

The soldiers and all officers of Dong Zhuo were shocked from Liu Ping's bold declaration while Dong Zhuo himself grinned. He liked the young prince now.

"Tell me. How can I help you?"

"Simple. Help me eradicate the ten eunuchs."

"I thought they were your allies. Are they not?"

"You and all of you misunderstood me. I've never allied myself with the likes of them!"

The grinned on Dong Zhuo's face widened. He caught on what Liu Ping tried to do.

…

Li Ru, who was listening to the side, looked at Liu Ping with bright eyes. He understood his purpose now.

Li Ru had obtained a piece of information from his spies. It said that the officials, which Ping had ordered them to be executed, were still alive, and they were working behind the scenes.

It appeared that Liu Ping plotted something and did not want to let the other factions know about it, which seemed to connect to what Liu Ping was attempting to do right now.

'If I was right, the first step will be leading us into the Capital and kill the ten eunuchs. He will reveal the assumed dead officials later to declare that he deceived them so he could kill the corrupted eunuchs. Then he will reward us afterward as heroes of the Han Dynasty. Once the plan is completed, he will restore his reputation and gain more followers in the process.'

Li Ru contemplated while he was observing both Dong Zhuo and Liu Ping from a distance. He touched his beard and grinned.

'Such an interesting prince. Maybe I should build some connection with him. Just in case this fatty fails.'
