Chapter 10: Guan Yu Warmly Drinks Wine and Slays Hua Xiong
The result of feeling guilty was that when Guan Yu returned the greeting to Lu Yan, Hua Xiong unexpectedly took the opportunity to launch a fierce surprise attack
Guan Yu's sensitivity to the flow of energy is remarkably powerful; even at a distance of 300 meters, Lu Yan was unexpectedly detected by Guan Yu due to this fleeting movement
After slightly adjusting his sitting posture, Lu Yan was filled with anticipation, waiting for the next heavyweight contender to take the stage
Guan Yu suddenly turned his head to look at the position where Lu Yan was, and a surge of tumultuous waves rose uncontrollably in his heart
It should be almost time for Guan Er Ye to make his appearance, and I suddenly feel a bit nervous!
At this moment, still sitting upright on the horse's back
With the aura that the other party just inadvertently revealed, Guan Yu can now be certain that the other party is a "primal powerhouse"
Fork out
If that Hua Xiong were to find out, he would think that none of us lords are left
Yuan Shu looked at Guan Yu with a hostile gaze, his eyes scanning him up and down, and a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said
In that very moment, Lu Yan, overwhelmed by tension and excitement, involuntarily summoned a trace of true energy from within his body
However, Guan Yu seemed not to have noticed, and only after Hua Xiong approached did he grasp the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, shifting the blade horizontally by one inch
Hua Xiong retracted his long-standing disdain, for he found himself somewhat unable to see through the strength of the red-faced man opposite him
With his phoenix-like eyes slightly opened, Guan Yu glanced at the lords before him and said: "Lord Cao and esteemed lords, please wait a moment; Guan will return shortly!"
Even the hands remained in the action of striking downward with a knife
Lu Yan truly did not expect that Guan Yu's sensitivity to the flow of energy was so formidable. However, with his innate true energy, Lu Yan's perception would only be even more powerful than that of Guan Yu
At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly realized that this world seemed to be not as simple as he had imagined
After finishing his thoughts, Lu Yan instinctively smiled at Guan Yu
Guan Yu was convinced that the figure in white on the hillside was not Lü Bu, yet he could not fully discern the strength of the opponent
Accompanied by the sound of drums, the city gate of Suanzaocheng slowly opens once again
They have arrived! Lu Yan couldn't help but exclaim, even raising his fist in excitement
Guan Yu, however, did not extend his hand to receive it, standing proudly with half-closed phoenix eyes and said: "There is no need, a mere Hua Xiong, why must one rely on wine to bolster courage?"
maintaining eye contact for approximately 1 to 2 seconds
The total duration may be less than two minutes both before and after
All the feudal lords turned their heads to look at the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who were seated at the very end.
At the moment Guan Yu turned to look at Lu Yan, Lu Yan also clearly saw the expression in Guan Yu's eyes. The two exchanged silent communication and probing glances across the distance.
A towering man, standing at nine feet tall and possessing an imposing physique, emerged slowly from the city gate, wielding a specially crafted crescent blade in his hand and riding a yellow horse
Hua Xiong stared for a long time but could not discern Guan Yu's strength, leaving him feeling somewhat unsettled.
Hua Xiong's attack was blocked by the Qinglong Blade, and just as he was about to strike down again, a flash of white light suddenly appeared before him
Today, before the battle, I unexpectedly encountered a person with innate energy. Does this not suggest that it is highly likely that Lü Bu is lying in ambush nearby
With the innate vital energy bestowed upon them, these top martial artists might truly be able to perform the miraculous feat of taking on thousands single-handedly
Cao Cao finally waited for Guan Yu to step forward and request to fight. He knew that Guan Yu was almost certain to win this battle, and he could not let that fool Yuan Shu drive him away
It seems that I can hear the sound of something breaking in my mind
They are already scared before even making an appearance, so what is the point of fighting at all
... ...
I originally thought this was a normal historical world, but now upon reflection, it is not as simple as I had imagined
He did not toast to Guan Yu, who was about to go into battle, as he had done before. From this, it can be seen that Yuan Shao placed great importance on personal background and status
The breath of innate energy! Could it be that that fellow Lü Bu has arrived here?!
Tit for tat
This is simply nonsense
Look, Guan Yu has arched eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, tall and mighty, exuding an aura of heroism. How could Hua Xiong possibly know that he is a horse archer
Lu Yan instantly saw through Guan Yu's cultivation level, "Half-step Innate!"
Alas... another life has been lost...
In fact
After thinking it over, Yuan Shu simply snorted coldly and turned his head away, thinking to himself: "Anyway, someone is going to their death; it has nothing to do with me, Yuan Gonglu!"
It is said that Guan Yu stepped forward to request a battle
However, Lu Yan was already indifferent to such scenes and felt no physical discomfort.
Who is this person? They don't seem impressive at all
Click!
It is not the whole person that has taken flight, but only his head.
As soon as a hint of anger appeared on Guan Yu's face, Cao Cao quickly stepped forward and advised Yuan Shu, "Brother Gonglu, please calm down and take a look at Guan Yu first"
Do you, a mere horse archer, dare to challenge?
Guan Yu's actions caused everyone to turn their heads towards the direction where Lu Yan was located
A top-tier expert actually resorted to a sneak attack? If this were to be made public, it is likely that many would scoff at it
Hua Xiong suddenly felt as if the world was spinning around him, and he seemed to be flying up into the air
Just in time, it blocked the large blade that Huaxiong swung down!
The column of blood that shot up into the sky when the head was severed made Lu Yan involuntarily curl his lips and exclaim, "Tsk tsk... how bloody and thrilling this is..."
This world seems to have transcended Lu Yan's understanding; at least for now, it no longer appears to be merely the ordinary world recorded in history.
Knock knock knock
In order to avoid putting Guan Yu and Liu Bei in an awkward position, Cao Cao proactively brought a cup of wine and said to Guan Yu: "I, Cao Mengde, offer this wine in honor of the righteous hero's journey, please!"
Everyone has made a military pledge, and Yuan Shu is now completely at a loss for words
Did not keep Lu Yan waiting for too long
In such a situation, how could one not be deeply shaken in spirit by Guan Yu!
Oh! It actually comes rushing at you!
He then cupped his hands in a distant gesture towards Guan Yu, expressing his goodwill
Cao Cao, while speaking, pulled Yuan Shu to look at Guan Yu again
Lu Yan saw Hua Xiong's movements and pointed in his direction to warn Brother Guan to be cautious of a sneak attack
Lu Yan watched helplessly as Pan Feng met a tragic death at the hands of Hua Xiong
He Huaxiong has truly taken flight
As for the body of Hua Xiong
According to the information gathered by Guan Yu, it seems that in the entire Han Dynasty, only Lü Bu has reached such a realm of innate martial artists
Guan Yu cast a sidelong glance at Hua Xiong and coldly snorted, "Hmph! A mere lowly scoundrel..."
Yuan Shu was subdued by Cao Cao, yet Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, remained silent.
The soldiers of the allied forces on the city tower, upon seeing the red-faced man just step out of the city gate, could not help but shake their heads and express their pessimism, their faces displaying shock and horror
One possesses innate true energy solely through the system, but it is evident that Guan Yu is not like me. "Brother Guan actually almost cultivated innate true energy. If he can simultaneously battle Lü Bu, who fought against Liu, Guan, and Zhang, has he already cultivated innate true energy?"
The moment Guan Yu made his entrance, a fierce aura immediately surged towards Hua Xiong!
Guan Yu could not tolerate being looked down upon. When he saw someone come forward to speak on his behalf, he decisively made a military pledge, stating: "I, Guan, am willing to make a military pledge; if I cannot sever the head of Hua Xiong, then please take my head instead"
Moreover, he also felt that Cao Cao had a point; it is indeed very likely that Hua Xiong could not discern the true identity of Guan Yu
That was purely Lu Yan overthinking it
Sitting on horseback, Guan Yu saw that Lu Yan, this 'innate master', actually bowed to him first. He disregarded the scrutinizing gaze of Hua Xiong in front of him and, with his right hand, planted the Green Dragon Crescent Blade into the ground, returning a salute to Lu Yan from a distance
Is there no one left in the coalition? Send out a coward to die...
After a brief exchange of glances, a multitude of information flashed through Lu Yan's mind like lightning
