Chapter 282: Lu Bu vs. Athena
"Athena!"

"Lu Bu"

Pala and Diao Lingyun shouted at the same time.

Two tall figures appeared behind Diao Lingyun and Pala respectively.

Athena behind Pala is graceful yet majestic. She is wearing golden armor, holding a spear and a shield. She is surrounded by sacred light, like a goddess descending to the earth.

Behind Diao Lingyun, Lu Bu was tall and mighty, full of domineering aura. He wore a three-pronged purple gold crown, a red brocade robe with flowers from Xichuan, a chain armor with a beast face and a lion belt around his waist. He held a Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, looking majestic and with a sharp gaze, as if he could sweep away all obstacles.

The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became more tense and solemn. The appearance of two powerful guardian spirits indicated that the battle was about to enter a more intense stage.

Lu Bu wears a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, which shines brightly. He is draped in a Xichuan red brocade robe with flowers. The brocade is colorful and the flower patterns are lifelike, as if swaying and blooming in the wind.

He wears the chain armor of Tang Ni with beast face and swallowing the sky. The beast face on the armor looks ferocious and terrifying, as if it wants to choose someone to devour, and the power of swallowing the sky is linked together.

He wears an exquisite lion-patterned belt around his waist. The lion patterns on the belt are lifelike and exquisite, showing his heroic spirit.

His face was covered with a gold-inlaid iron mask, revealing only a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, with a chilling murderous intent in his eyes.

In his hand he tightly grasped a huge Fang Tian Hua Ji, the halberd was flashing with cold light, as if it could tear through the void, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.

His demeanor is majestic, his posture is as straight as a pine tree, his aura is unparalleled and his bearing is extraordinary, as if no one in the world can compete with him.

He was riding a scarlet horse, the famous Red Hare, with its hooves galloping in the wind and its mane flying, like a devil descended to the earth.

Athena was wearing a luxurious and sacred golden armor, each piece of armor was shining with brilliant light, as if inlaid with countless stars. Her long purple hair fluttered like flowing purple clouds, smart and elegant.

In one hand, she held a golden holy shield, which was engraved with mysterious runes and shone with indestructible light; in the other hand, she held a golden holy spear, the tip of which was extremely sharp and emitting cold light, as if it could penetrate all darkness.

The sacred light surrounds her body, making her look more noble and solemn. The spirits of the twelve constellations snuggle beside her like loyal guards, emitting their own unique light. Some are like blazing flames, some are like cold moonlight, and some are like bright stars.

Athena raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with endless majesty and compassion, like a noble god above the nine heavens, overlooking all things in the world, making people unable to help but bow down in worship.

"Come and fight!"

Lü Bu swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji towards Athena, the sound was like a bell, the momentum was like a rainbow. The Fang Tian Hua Ji flashed with red blood light, the light was like a burning flame, with a sharpness and sharpness that could split everything in half.

Lu Bu's eyes were wide open, glaring with anger, and his whole body was emitting a tremendous fighting spirit. He took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to tremble slightly, as if it was about to explode with his anger.

Athena's eyes were calm, and she showed no fear in the face of Lu Bu's provocation. She slightly turned sideways, with the golden holy spear in her hand pointed at the ground, ready to meet Lu Bu's attack.

The atmosphere on the battlefield instantly became extremely tense, and everyone held their breath, looking forward to the clash between these two peerless powerful men.

Athena and Lu Bu attacked each other at the same time, both at extremely fast speeds. A red light and a golden light kept colliding, and the lights intertwined in an instant, making people dazzling.

The clanging sound of metal and iron clashing between the Holy Spear and Holy Shield and the Fang Tian Hua Ji continued, and each collision was like a thunderous explosion, deafening. Sparks flew everywhere, like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the air.

Shock waves continued to be generated, and the powerful force spread in all directions. Wherever it went, the ground cracked and the earth and rocks flew. The air waves rolled like surging waves, one after another, impacting everything around.

Diao Lingyun and Pala were also shocked by this powerful force. They stared at their guardian spirits closely, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.

This shocking battle is becoming more and more intense, and the outcome is hard to determine.

The battle between Athena and Lu Bu became more and more intense, and each of their moves contained the power to destroy the world.

Lü Bu swung his painted halberd fiercely, creating a gust of wind that swept across Athena's waist. Wherever the painted halberd passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound. Athena leaped up lightly, and the holy spear pierced Lü Bu's chest. The tip of the spear flashed with a cold light, as if it could penetrate everything.

Lu Bu dodged sideways, and at the same time raised his halberd upwards, colliding with the Holy Spear again, emitting a dazzling light. The sound of metal clashing was deafening, and the powerful impact caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

At this time, Pala and Diao Lingyun were not idle either. Pala muttered something, and golden runes flew out of her hands, like a nimble bird, attacking Diao Lingyun. Wherever the runes passed, ripples appeared in the air.

Diao Lingyun snorted coldly, wielding the Dragon Fang, the blade flashed with red light, breaking the runes one by one. Every time a rune was broken, a burst of energy waves erupted, impacting the surroundings.

"Bang!" Another violent collision, Athena and Lu Bu each took a few steps back. Lu Bu's breathing became rapid, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was still strong.

He kicked his feet and rushed forward again, attacking Athena with his Fang Tian Hua Ji like a violent storm. Each blow was powerful, as if it was going to split the whole world apart.

Athena's forehead was covered with sweat, but her expression remained firm. She waved her holy spear and holy shield, defending impenetrably, while looking for Lu Bu's flaws and preparing to launch a counterattack.

At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly burst out with a powerful force, and the blood light around him became increasingly intense, forming a solid protective shield.

He shouted loudly and rushed towards Athena again. The light on the Fang Tian Huaji was like a burning flame, hot and violent.

Athena was not to be outdone, her whole body shone with golden light, the spirits of the twelve constellations swirled around her, the light intertwined together, forming a dazzling halo. She thrust the holy spear in her hand forward with an indomitable momentum.

Lü Bu's painted halberd clashed fiercely with Athena's golden holy spear, sparks flew everywhere, like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky. Every collision shook the earth, and the surrounding mountains and rocks also collapsed and rolled down under this powerful impact.

Athena flashed and instantly appeared on Lu Bu's left side, smashing the holy shield into his shoulder. Lu Bu reacted very quickly, dodging sideways and sweeping back with his halberd, forcing Athena to jump back.

The battlefield was filled with flying sand and howling winds. Lü Bu's eyes widened, he roared, and wielded his halberd vigorously, his moves becoming more and more fierce and domineering. Athena was graceful and agile, she used defense as an attack, and looked for Lü Bu's flaws.

Diao Lingyun and Pala were also fighting with all their might. Pala's golden spear was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, piercing Diao Lingyun's vital points cunningly. Diao Lingyun was not afraid at all, and used the Qionglong Ya to block and chop left and right, completely neutralizing the attack.

Suddenly, Lu Bu took a step forward, and aimed his halberd at Athena's throat. Athena raised her head slightly, raised her holy shield to block, and at the same time, the holy spear stabbed Lu Bu's chest. Lu Bu dodged sideways, but the holy spear still cut through his armor.

"what!"

Lü Bu shouted angrily, and swept his halberd across, bringing up a violent gust of air. Athena tapped the ground with her feet and floated away.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Lu Bu suddenly thrust his Fang Tian Hua Ji into the ground, clasped his hands together, and muttered something. In an instant, the blood on his body surged like a tide, gathering on the Hua Ji, and the Hua Ji exuded a terrifying aura that made people's hearts palpitate.

Upon seeing this, Athena tightly grasped the Holy Spear and Holy Shield in her hands, and the spirits of the twelve constellations revolved around her at high speed, forming a dazzling galaxy shield.

"Take this move from me, Fiery Sky Halberd!"

Lu Bu shouted, drew his halberd, and swung it vigorously. A huge blood-red halberd shadow whizzed towards Athena, and wherever it passed, black cracks were torn into space.

Athena looked determined and shouted:
"Star Guardian!"

The galaxy shield shone brightly, facing the terrifying halberd shadow.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the sky and the earth changed color. The powerful energy impact spread in all directions, and Diao Lingyun and Pala were also pushed back dozens of steps by this force.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Lu Bu was seen kneeling on one knee, breathing heavily, and Athena's galaxy shield became dim.

“It’s not over yet!”

Pala suddenly shouted, and the golden light of the spear in her hand pierced towards Diao Lingyun. A trace of determination flashed in Diao Lingyun's eyes, and she raised the Qionglong Fang, ready to meet this fatal blow.
