Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1878: Chapter 1723: Swearing Never to Bow

The two crossed paths, and in the next instant as they reined in their horses, a transparent hole appeared in Guan Yu’s chest. Without a change in expression, Guan Yu swallowed two pills and rode away without looking back.

Chouhun’s unyielding gaze was gradually covered by his eyelids, and then two wounds massive enough to split him appeared on his body, crossing from left to right. Chouhun slowly fell from his horse.

Guan Yu rode off directly, no longer wanting to take part in the ensuing battle, as Chouhun’s final strike was three times more dangerous than Wen Chou’s last desperate attack.

Chouhun’s last spear strike nearly grazed Guan Yu’s heart. Although it didn’t shatter the chamber, and he took medicine, for a master like Guan Yu, it was not deadly.

But for some reason, after killing Chouhun, Guan Yu inexplicably felt a bit of apathy. So he divided his soldiers into more than thirty units, handing them over to mid-to-low-ranking officers to attack the Northern Huns, while he withdrew from the battlefield.

With Chouhun’s death, the Northern Huns Guards’ last glimmer of radiance extinguished, marking the complete disappearance of another Military Spirit Legion from history.

”General Guan is indeed formidable,” Jia Kui said, looking at the slowly falling Chouhun with a face full of admiration.

”Mm, others might face challenges in execution, but not my brother,” Liu Bei said proudly, having always been highly confident in Guan Yu’s capabilities.

”Look over there, Elai and that master over there are about to determine the victor,” Cao Cao first looked at Guan Yu with deep respect, then forced himself to turn his attention to Dian Wei, although not knowing why he particularly admired Guan Yu.

Liu Bei glanced in Dian Wei’s direction, unable to see how Dian Wei was about to determine victory, thinking that Cao Cao and he were about the same, even less able to distinguish the outcome when fighting. Naturally, it was to save face.

However, Liu Bei did not expose Cao Cao’s boast, instead focused intently on Dian Wei and Lin Qu’s battle. One must admit that Dian Wei’s horsemanship in battles was truly awful.

The steed beneath Dian Wei was Cao Cao’s prized horse, although Cao Cao himself could hardly ride it. As an Inner Qi Manifestation horse, Cao Cao barely rode it and generally didn’t allow others.

Yet, this time he lent it to Dian Wei mainly because Xuu Chu was riding the Claw Yellow Flying Lightning acquired from Cao Cao. Cao Cao lent Jueying Horse to Dian Wei not to lose momentum to Liu Bei, but Dian Wei’s horsemanship was actually quite poor.

The so-called Inner Qi Manifestation horse dislikes changing owners; Jueying Horse and Claw Yellow Flying Lightning wouldn’t let even the current Cao Cao ride them if not subdued during Qi Refining to Gang. So the saying goes, horses belong with heroes.

This was actually not a problem for Dian Wei; he often circled around Cao Cao’s stables, always believing that eating Jueying would enhance his strength significantly. And faced with such a terrifying prospect, the clairvoyant Jueying naturally feared Dian Wei and would never refuse his request to ride; living is better than dying, isn’t it?

Indeed, Dian Wei wasn’t wrong in his feelings. As a Refined Realm Breaker, consuming animals rich in Heaven and Earth Essence provided him far more energy than other military generals. If he cooked and ate Jueying, Dian Wei’s power would increase significantly.

However, out of respect for Cao Cao, Dian Wei just looked and never mentioned eating Jueying.

Honestly speaking, Dian Wei didn’t even want to ride a horse. Unlike other military generals who could gain strength and speed from their steeds, riding actually impaired his abilities. Nonetheless, when Cao Cao ordered him on horseback, Dian Wei complied, disregarding the risks, knowing not to defy Cao Cao’s commands.

Shortly after, the Tiger Guard Army led by the three blocked the Northern Huns’ last elite troops. Then Xuu Chu faced Lin Han, and naturally, Dian Wei went for Lin Qu, while Zhou Tai tore his way through.

Upon encountering Lin Qu, Dian Wei immediately engaged in the fight. Lin Qu’s strength was decent, but it was still just decent. In this era, only a supreme master could dare to fight Dian Wei up close, and for Dian Wei to call him decent already marked him a peerless master.

After all, not everyone’s surname is Lu, and even those with the surname Lu had it rough in close quarters with Dian Wei; so, Lin Qu had no solution against him.

However, Dian Wei’s horsemanship was terrible, and his weapon was just a Great Halberd, only suitable in melee and restricted in Inner Qi, naturally leaving him with no good offense. Apart from poor horsemanship, Dian Wei’s overall qualities were exceptionally strong, yet he didn’t gain any advantage.

Of course, Lin Qu didn’t gain any advantage either. After all, Dian Wei’s reaction force, strength, and speed were beyond standard, sparking Lin Qu’s caution, leaving him helpless against Dian Wei.

Until...

”Ding!” A crisp sound echoed as Lin Qu thrust another spear at Dian Wei. With poor horsemanship, Dian Wei couldn’t dodge in time and could only block it with his Great Halberd. As their weapons clashed, Dian Wei’s Great Halberd shattered.

Dian Wei was momentarily stunned, and Lin Qu also froze for a moment. But as quick as lightning, Lin Qu realized this was the perfect chance to kill his opponent!

At that moment, watching from behind, a cold sweat broke out on Cao Cao’s back.

Although stunned when his halberd shattered, Dian Wei quickly reacted, tossing aside the heavily broken Great Halberd. As a body cultivation expert whose Inner Qi couldn’t fully strengthen his body, how could his weapon be completely resistant? It shattering was normal.
