Lü Bu's timing was incredibly precise! Under normal circumstances, Wei Ming and Shen Kou would definitely have been struck by the Sky Piercer; whether they lived or died would be another matter. But since Wei Ming and Shen Kou had dared to charge at Lü Bu, they naturally had a way to ensure something "abnormal" would happen. Otherwise, who would go looking for death for no reason?
At the mountaintop, Murong Yan stared fixedly at Wei Ming, Shen Kou, and Lü Bu. The instant Lü Bu's left shoulder twitched, Murong Yan flung out two Three Kingdoms Kill Cards: "Negate" and "Dodge." The two cards were not thrown simultaneously, but the interval between them was almost negligible—according to the rules of Three Kingdoms Kill Cards, two cards could not be used at the same time. Thus, the demands placed on the user in this situation were exceptionally high. Moreover, the lives of two classmates were at stake. To successfully coordinate the three of them, Wei Ming, Shen Kou, and Murong Yan needed sufficient trust and confidence in one another.
Fortunately, this was not their first time working together. The instant before Lü Bu's Sky Piercer struck Wei Ming and Shen Kou, the light formed by the two Three Kingdoms Kill Cards shot into their bodies. Then the card effects activated. The "Dodge" card caused Shen Kou's figure to vanish directly, only to reappear a short distance behind Lü Bu's right side. Murong Yan had put thought into using the "Dodge" card. The laws of this Fifth Time were outrageously firm and complete, placing enormous restrictions on combat methods like Three Kingdoms Kill Cards that exploited various rules. Such restrictions were sometimes bad, but sometimes beneficial. For example, at this moment, the "Dodge" card's teleportation distance was extremely limited—exactly what was needed.
