"Good!"
Seeing Guan Yu charging towards him, Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and he gave a mighty shake of his halberd.
"Taste my Overlord's Slash!"
"Swish!"
As Qin Feng swung his right hand, the halberd carved a silver streak through the air.
"Hmph~!"
"Only a fool would clash strength with you!"
Guan Yu curled his lips, scoffing inwardly, and leaned his body back sharply.
However,
Qin Feng knew that the esteemed Guan Yu wouldn't be so easily dealt with, and he hadn't unleashed his full power.
Seeing Guan Yu evade, he didn't panic. The halberd in his hand swept sideways with the momentum.
"Bang~!"
Guan Yu, who had just straightened himself on his horse, was struck squarely.
"Damn it!"
"Villain, villain, you deserve to die!"
Having taken a direct hit from the halberd, Guan Yu felt a churning in his chest.
But he paid it no mind.
Taking advantage of the moment their horses crossed paths, the Azure Dragon Crescent Halberd in his hand swung down diagonally.
"Not bad!"
"Worthy of the esteemed Guan Yu!"
Feeling the gust of wind from his neck, Qin Feng fiercely parried with his halberd.
"Clang~!"
After a piercing clang of metal on metal, Qin Feng and Guan Yu stood facing each other.
"Again!"
Before Guan Yu could marvel at the villain's ferocity, Qin Feng squeezed his legs and his Cloud-Treading Black Steed charged forward again.
"What?!"
Guan Yu, whose breathing had not yet settled, widened his eyes in shock.
Doesn't this fellow need to catch his breath?
Despite his inner astonishment, Guan Yu had no choice but to gather his spirit and meet the challenge.
This time, he didn't even have a chance to dodge!
"Clang!"
Another deafening clash of metal erupted.
"Haha, exhilarating~!"
Having just received his inheritance and engaging in a horse battle, Qin Feng felt utterly refreshed, both in body and spirit.
Even the halberd, which had felt a bit unfamiliar initially, now felt much more manageable.
But where there was joy, there was naturally also gloom.
Guan Yu, who had taken Qin Feng's halberd head-on, had a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.
His hands felt as if they were no longer his own!
Yet, with his proud nature, he didn't falter even at this point.
Or rather,
The situation on the field no longer allowed him to retreat.
His elder brother lay incapacitated, his third brother was missing, and only he could still fight.
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Guan Yu shifted the Azure Dragon Crescent Halberd to his left hand.
"Villain, come again!"
"Oh?"
Qin Feng glanced at the struggling Guan Yu, a flicker of interest in his heart.
If he were to kill Guan Yu, would he perhaps drop some renowned generals?
He surely would, right?
After all,
Let alone Guan Yu's fame, the over tenfold drop rate alone was enticing.
Why not… give it a try?
With his mind made up, Qin Feng's gaze towards Guan Yu shifted.
Before, there was a touch of fangirl admiration for an idol.
But now?
Prey!
In Qin Feng's eyes, Guan Yu was now a prey, shimmering with golden light.
Alas,
Before Qin Feng could decide on his next move, a thunderous roar echoed from behind him.
"Villain, do not harm my second brother!"
Accompanying the thunderous sound, a burly, dark-skinned figure lunged from behind.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, are you alright?"
"We are unharmed!"
Guan Yu, feeling a slight relief in his heart, shook his still-numb right hand.
"Third Brother, you've arrived just in time. Let us attack together!"
"Remember!"
"Do not clash with him head-on. This fellow's strength is truly formidable."
"Hmm…"
Zhang Fei raised an eyebrow, instinctively wanting to retort.
However,
Glancing at Liu Bei lying on the ground, Zhang Fei swallowed the words that were about to escape his lips.
Forget it!
Let's make it a two-on-one.
Riding his horse to Guan Yu's side and stopping, Zhang Fei scowled at Qin Feng.
"Fellow, instead of suppressing the Yellow Turbans, why are you here bullying my brother?"
"Suppress the Yellow Turbans?"
Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Qin Feng's expression turned somewhat strange.
"My apologies!"
"If I am not mistaken, I might be the very Yellow Turban you are meant to suppress!"
"Huh?"
Zhang Fei stumbled, nearly falling off his horse.
"You… you are Yellow Turban?"
"Authentic!"
"…"
Zhang Fei looked at Qin Feng, clad in exquisite iron armor, then down at his own rough leather armor. He fell into a long silence.
Who in the devil is the regular army here?!
"Alright~!"
"Stop wasting time!"
Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still hesitant, Qin Feng grew impatient.
He pointed his halberd forward, his tone dismissive:
"Let alone the two of you brothers, even if your elder brother were to join, so what?"
"You…"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, their intentions seen through in an instant, felt a pang of shame.
They had indeed intended to stall for time, allowing their elder brother to recover some strength.
But that didn't mean they were afraid!
While a one-on-one fight might not be their advantage, couldn't the two brothers working together easily defeat him?
With this thought,
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei exchanged glances and simultaneously let out a roar.
"Villain, meet your end!"
"Heh~!"
Watching the two warhorses charge forward rapidly, Qin Feng squeezed his legs against the horse's belly.
"Giddy up~!"
"Neigh~!"
Sensing Qin Feng's movement, the Cloud-Treading Black Steed reared its hooves.
The next moment,
Under the slightly stunned gaze of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Qin Feng surged ahead, despite starting later.
"Take my halberd!"
With a fierce cry, Qin Feng's halberd lunged towards Guan Yu.
Who asked him to be injured?
Who else to strike if not him?
As long as one of them was incapacitated, the other would be easier to deal with.
Zhang Fei clearly understood this as well.
Seeing Qin Feng advancing towards his second brother, his heart sank. He thrust his Eight-Foot Snake Spear fiercely towards Qin Feng's back.
He was confident!
If Qin Feng didn't retract his move, even if his second brother was injured, he could pierce this fellow through and through.
However,
Could Qin Feng, who saw through this situation, not have prepared for it?
The halberd in his hand abruptly retracted, its tail sliding through his armpit.
"Thump~!"
Before Zhang Fei's Eight-Foot Snake Spear could touch Qin Feng, he felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Damn it!"
Guan Yu, who had instinctively dodged, realized he had been tricked.
Qin Feng's halberd hadn't come at him, but had instead struck his third brother.
Enraged,
Before his warhorse could even stop, Guan Yu turned his mount and pursued Qin Feng.
"Second Brother, be careful!"
Zhang Fei, who had only just managed to catch his breath, also spurred his horse to chase after them.
However,
Looking at the unscathed Qin Feng, Zhang Fei inexplicably had a bad premonition.
Could their three brothers perish here?
It wasn't just Zhang Fei who had this thought; even Liu Bei, who was leisurely observing from the side, felt a chill.
They couldn't defeat him even with two fighting one?
How could this be?!
He knew very well the martial prowess of his two younger brothers, otherwise, he wouldn't have been lying there, taking the opportunity to slack off after being knocked from his horse.
But now…
No!
They absolutely cannot be harmed!
Anxious, Liu Bei turned and scanned the battlefield.
Hm?
Spotting the strong youths in the distance, who were pursuing the Yellow Turban rebels, Liu Bei's eyes lit up.
There's a way!
