My father-in-law Guan Yu, I persuaded Liu Bei to launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang at the beginn

"Whoosh whoosh..."

A series of sharp, rapid whooshing sounds suddenly rang out.

Several sharp arrows, like black lightning, accompanied by a fierce whistling sound, rushed towards them with lightning speed.

The sharp arrowheads gleamed with a cold, blinding light in the sunlight, like messengers from hell.

The Imperial Guards were on high alert, but the sudden attack was too swift, and they had no time to react effectively.

In an instant, arrows rained down like raindrops. Caught off guard, the Imperial Guards were pinned to the ground in droves, their blood instantly staining the earth beneath their feet, and screams of agony echoed throughout the air.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

At this critical moment, Han Ying reacted swiftly and shouted.

He swiftly brandished his longsword, the blade flashing like a silver barrier, spinning rapidly in front of Cao Pi and deflecting several whistling arrows.

Even though Han Ying reacted quickly, a sharp arrow still whistled past Cao Pi's ear like a ghost.

The sharp arrow whistled through the air, like a cold blade, stinging Cao Pi's cheek.

Cao Pi suddenly awoke from his reverie, pulled back to reality.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with fear and anger as he looked into the distance. He saw hundreds of Han cavalrymen rushing towards him like a black torrent.

The Han soldiers galloped at full speed, drawing their bows and arrows on horseback to engage in precise mounted archery.

The dense rain of arrows, like the scythe of death, mercilessly reaped the lives of the Wei soldiers.

Screams, the sound of horses' hooves, and the whistling of arrows suddenly erupted.

"Your Majesty, hurry, or it will be too late!"

Han Ying tightly protected Cao Pi, using her broad body to shield him from any potential danger, while also earnestly trying to persuade him.

The resentment in Cao Pi's heart vanished in an instant, like smoke blown away by a strong wind.

If you hesitate for even a moment longer, you might really lose your life.

"retreat……"

Cao Pi shouted at the top of his lungs.

"The entire army will withdraw up the Wei River and return to Longxi—"

He frantically yanked the reins, raised the whip in his hand, and lashed it hard against the horse's back, galloping off like an arrow towards the Wei River.

Han Ying breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed behind Cao Pi, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings while desperately protecting Cao Pi as they fled.

late.

Hundreds of Han cavalrymen charged in like lightning.

Wherever they went, Wei soldiers fell to the ground.

This powerful impact instantly scattered Cao Pi and his imperial guards.

Cao Pi was so focused on escaping that he didn't notice anything around him.

When he came to his senses, he realized that the Imperial Guards who had surrounded him had now dwindled to just a few riders.

"You traitor Cao, where do you think you're going—"

Just then, a loud shout, like a thunderclap, rang in Cao Pi's ears.

Cao Pi was startled, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

He glanced over instinctively and saw a Han general, like an angry lion, charging towards him.

Guan Suo, the general who attacked, was none other than Guan Suo.

Amidst the chaos of battle, he was like a keen hawk, suddenly spotting the location of Cao Pi's imperial banner and quickly locking his gaze on the golden-armored figure surrounded by a group of knights.

Who else could it be but Cao Pi?

Guan Suo disregarded everything, spurred his mount, and charged towards Cao Pi like a black lightning bolt.

That's Cao Pi!

The emperor of Wei, the last enemy of the Son of Heaven.

If Cao Pi could be captured alive or killed, the Wei Kingdom would surely collapse, and the emperor would be able to unify the world.

And he will be remembered in history.

Driven by this intense thought, Guan Suo rampaged through the land, becoming an invincible war god wherever he went, and in an instant, he was right in front of Cao Pi.

"Guan Suo is here! You little traitor Cao, die!"

With a roar, Guan Suo channeled all his strength into his longsword and slashed fiercely at Cao Pi.

The blade flashed like a silver lightning bolt, carrying boundless killing intent, heading straight for Cao Pi.

"How could any random junior officer in the Han army possess such martial skills?"

Cao Pi was shocked. Seeing the blade coming like lightning, he instinctively drew his sword and blocked it with his backhand.

next moment.

The swords clashed, producing a crisp yet piercing sound.

"Crack!" A tearing sound, like a thunderclap, rang out on the battlefield.

The blade was severed!

Guan Suo's eyes widened, and his face showed an expression of extreme horror.

The sword in Cao Pi's hand was able to cut his longsword in half!

What a precious sword this is!
Guan Suo was shocked, and his gaze quickly shot to the long sword in Cao Pi's hand.

Suddenly, he realized something.

He remembered that Cao Cao had once obtained two precious swords that could cut through iron like mud, one named Qinggang and the other named Yitian.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword was later captured by Deng Ai, while the Green Gang Sword was always carried by Cao Cao.

Now that Cao Cao is the retired emperor, the Qinggang Sword will naturally be passed on to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi is currently wielding a sword capable of cutting through long sabers; it must undoubtedly be Qinggang.

Cao Pi severed Guan Suo's silver knife with a single sword strike, then used the momentum to slash back with his sword, intending to take Guan Suo's life.

Unexpectedly, after the initial shock, Guan Suo quickly regained his composure and swiftly slapped the hilt of his knife diagonally.

"Crack!"

With a muffled thud, the hilt of the sword slammed heavily against Cao Pi's wrist.

The blow was quite powerful; Cao Pi's wrist was broken with a snap, and the excruciating pain caused him to let out a scream.

"what--"

Cao Pi's Qinggang sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Guan Suo's sword hilt had transformed into an iron club, which he smashed towards Cao Pi's face without hesitation.

Faced with death, Cao Pi quickly shrank his neck, trying to avoid the attack.

"clang!"

The hilt of the sword struck Cao Pi's golden helmet, causing it to fall to the ground with a thud. Cao Pi's hair was disheveled, and his hair was scattered messily across his face.

Cao Pi, disregarding his disheveled state, seized the brief opening and desperately turned his horse to flee.

"You traitor Cao, where do you think you're going!"

Guan Suo threw down his sword hilt, quickly grabbed the Qinggang sword from the ground, and chased after Cao Pi.

"You treacherous dog, don't you dare harm my Emperor!"

At this critical moment, a loud shout rang out.

Cao Pi raised his head and saw Han Ying, who had been separated from him, finally rushing towards him. A surge of hope immediately welled up in his heart, as if he had seen a lifeline.

"Han Qing, save me! Save me!"

Cao Pi shouted at Han Ying.

"Your Majesty, please go first. I will slay this traitor!"

Han Ying rode past Cao Pi, his long sword finally aimed at Guan Suo.

Guan Suo brandished his Qinggang sword and charged forward to meet the attack.

The swords clashed, producing another muffled "crack!" sound.

Han Ying's longsword was actually cut in half by Qinggang Sword!
"The Qinggang Sword?"

"He actually stole the Emperor's Qinggang Sword?"

Han Ying's face showed horror, and her expression changed drastically.

"This Qinggang Sword is truly invincible!"

Guan Suo's eyes widened with joy, and he slashed out with his Qinggang sword once again.

Han Ying had no way to avoid it and was struck by the sword.

With a tearing thud, Han Ying's body was ripped apart by the immense force, and he was cut in two.

Blood gushed out instantly, staining the ground beneath their feet red.

One sword strikes down the enemy.

When Guan Suo looked up, Cao Pi had already fled to the Wei River, and it was no longer possible to catch up.

Since they couldn't kill Cao Pi, there was no point in pursuing him any further.

Guan Suo stopped and watched Cao Pi's departing figure.

"You little scoundrel Cao, you got away pretty fast. You're lucky today!"

Guan Suo watched Cao Pi's retreating figure, a sarcastic smile creeping onto his lips.

He then turned his horse around and retrieved the helmet that Cao Pi had left behind.

"Although I didn't kill Cao Pi today, it's enough for me to become famous throughout the world in one battle..."

Guan Suo looked at the Qinggang Sword in one hand and Cao Pi's helmet in the other, and let out a smug laugh. (End of this chapter)
