Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Lu Zhi resisted, but ultimately failed and could only return to Youzhou.

Zhu Jun also led troops in rebellion, but ultimately failed. Unable to continue fighting, he could only return after Dong Zhuo's death and reorganize the Imperial Guards.

As for Huangfu Song... he probably knew he couldn't defeat Dong Zhuo, and coupled with his political fence-sitting stance, he chose to temporarily let things go and preserve his strength.

"Second Master, when Hua Xiong arrives, capture him alive if possible. He will be the key to our future plans."

"Mingzhi? What realm is Hua Xiong at?" Chen Xi asked.

"When you cultivate Qi to the point of mastery, you might experience internal Qi leaving your body at any time. It could mean you've been playing around too much and need to risk your life!" Jiang Shu still had some insight.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "We'll see tomorrow, Second Brother, I'll take him down!"

Meanwhile, after hearing that the Archer Camp had appeared, Dong Zhuo specifically sent Jia Xu to check on Huangfu Song. He knew that the Three Rivers Five Schools had been disbanded, and as long as Huangfu Song did not leave, the few remaining members could not shake his power.

Despite the incident involving Sun Jian, the allied forces continued to eat and drink as usual, as if nothing had happened. As for Sun Jian, he was determined not to contribute to the allied forces anymore; the last time he did, he almost got himself killed.

"Zichuan, stop eating," Guan Yu said.

"Has Hua Xiong arrived?" Chen Xi asked.

"They're here!" Zhang Fei said in a deep voice. Of course, even in a deep voice, Zhang Fei was still very loud.

"Report! Hua Xiong, the garrison commander of Sishui Pass, has come to provoke us and has already killed several of our generals!" a soldier reported.

Yuan Shao, seated in the leader's position, said indifferently, "Who is willing to fight and slay Hua Xiong?"

Yuan Shao said he didn't care whether Hua Xiong was killed or the allied generals were killed. He believed that weakening the warlords or Dong Zhuo would benefit him.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a junior officer behind Yuan Shu stepped forward and said, "This humble general is willing to go!"

Yuan Shu said smugly, "This is our general, Yu She!"

"Good, General Yu She, you have done the great work in killing Hua Xiong!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed. It would be beneficial for Yuan Shu's men to either kill Hua Xiong or be killed by Hua Xiong.

"Second Master, how is Yu She?" Chen Xi asked.

Guan Yu said, "They're doomed! Hua Xiong defeated Sun Jian, a true master of Qi Refining. Yu She, a mere junior officer who hasn't even condensed his Qi, is certainly going to die!"

Sure enough, the messenger returned shortly after he left.

"General Yu She was slain by Hua Xiong with a single stroke!"

"What?" Yuan Shu said in disbelief.

Anyone whose general is slain in a single blow by the enemy would question their existence.

Like that famous joke, you are exceptionally talented and invincible in the surrounding area. You join the army and work your way up to the position of deputy general. The commander-in-chief is someone you can't defeat no matter what you do. One day you hear that the commander-in-chief was killed with a single blow. Then you hear that the person who killed the commander-in-chief was killed by someone else with a single blow. Then you hear that the person and his second brother and eldest brother joined forces but still couldn't defeat the other person.

Anyone would question the meaning of life.

A fleeting expression crossed Guan Yu's face—the look of someone facing a formidable opponent.

Guan Yu was about to get up when Chen Xi pulled him down. Hua Xiong's imposing presence was not enough for him to get up for the time being.

At this moment, Han Fu, the governor of Ji Province, spoke up: "I have General Pan Feng, who can slay Hua Xiong!"

"General Pan, are you willing to go?" Yuan Shao smiled. Ji Province, what a wonderful place. It has a million armored soldiers and enough grain to last for years. Taking Ji Province would lay the foundation for a hegemonic enterprise.

So for the sake of my ambition, General Pan, you should just die.

Yuan Shao gave a signal, indicating that someone was naturally behind him to handle the matter, and that it would be done quietly and without anyone noticing.

Pan Feng was born with superhuman strength and wielded a huge axe the size of a door panel, its cold light gleaming and terrifying.

"My great axe is itching for a good sip!" Pan Feng said indifferently.

Then, wielding his giant axe, he mounted his horse and charged forward.

"What kind of person is Second Master?" Chen Xi asked.

"With his innate superhuman strength and his mastery of internal energy, even I would find it difficult to defeat him," Guan Yu said solemnly.

Damn it, I hate these people with superhuman strength the most. They're just cheating. Guan Yu can swing the 72-pound Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which is also superhuman strength, but it's nothing compared to this. This kind of superhuman strength is probably comparable to ordinary internal energy leaving the body.

Guan Yu was right. Later, Wu Anguo, who was also born with superhuman strength, could even fight against Lü Bu. He could wield a 500-jin hammer without using his internal energy, which was simply inhuman. If he did not use his heavy sword technique, Lü Bu would not have been able to defeat him for a while.

Hua Xiong stood majestically, his terrifying aura seemingly capable of destroying everything in the world.

Holding an ancient sword, Hua Xiong looked at Pan Feng, who was charging out from the allied forces, and a ferocious smile appeared on his lips.

A master, not just any master, but a master even stronger than him!

However, he only fights against experts, because only experts can revive his somewhat decaying body.

"Kill the traitor!" Hua Xiong roared.

A red light burst forth from the ancient sword in Hua Xiong's hand, striking Pan Feng's great axe.

boom!

Where the two horses collided, a large crater was created. Hua Xiong felt his hands go numb from the shock, but he had a feeling that killing him would allow him to level up!

Pan Feng felt the same way!

Both of them understood what level it meant to go further, and their eyes became increasingly heated.

The two began to test each other, their ancient sword and great axe clashing repeatedly. In the clashes, Pan Feng became increasingly steady, while Hua Xiong grew increasingly impatient.

Pan Feng, with his innate superhuman strength, still has a huge advantage!

"The final blow!" Hua Xiong roared, and red light condensed as he unleashed a terrifying attack on Pan Feng!

"Kill!!" Pan Feng grinned ferociously, confident that this attack would decapitate Hua Xiong.

Swords and axes clashed!

Just then, Pan Feng's blue-maned horse suddenly stumbled and fell to its knees.

Hua Xiong then beheaded Pan Feng with a single stroke.

A terrifying aura erupted from Hua Xiong's body, and a terrifying power seemed to rise from his body. The wounds and hidden injuries inflicted by Pan Feng on his body began to heal, and his body began to connect with heaven and earth, successfully advancing to the stage of internal energy leaving the body.

"Is this the power of an even higher level?" Hua Xiong closed his eyes, feeling the terrifying power within his body.

"No wonder Lü Bu said that even if ten thousand troops were in the middle, he could just pass by at will," Hua Xiong said with a ferocious smile.

Hua Xiong unleashed a powerful, unrestrained slash.

A terrifying, enormous red fire blade appeared and directly bombarded the allied forces' camp, destroying it instantly!

"Listen up, allied forces opposite! I am Hua Xiong, Hua Zijian, the seat of Prime Minister Dong! Surrender immediately, or we will slaughter you all!" Hua Xiong could guarantee that his voice would reach all the allied forces.

The morale of the allied forces plummeted!

"Report!"

"Hua Xiong beheaded General Pan and cleaved open the camp with a single stroke from a hundred meters away!" the messenger exclaimed in terror.
