Chapter 281 The First Clash

"Lu Bu, I want to have a good fight with you!" Ye Feng, holding the Overlord's Halberd without mercy, galloped his Wuzhui horse forward and soon reached Lu Bu's side.

The two exchanged knowing smiles, and the Overlord's Halberd and Fang Tian Hua Ji crashed heavily together. After Ye Feng explained the situation, Zhuge Liang and Gan Quan remained motionless, while Yu Huatian had already led his men to sneak behind the main army.

Wave after wave of men disappeared under the indiscriminate slaughter of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Zhang Miao waved his command flag, and the soldiers behind him surged forward, instantly becoming entangled.

"Kill!"

"You dog, you're seeking death!"

Curses like these were endless. Zhang Miao and the others were clearly not focused, and many of their spears missed their targets. Ye Feng's vanguard was the same, giving the illusion that anyone could do it!

"The Third Legion is nothing more than this, all hype and no substance. We'll take care of them!"

The other soldiers laughed heartily, sneering a few times. Zhang Miao, seeing that the last man had entered Ye Feng's ranks, made a decisive move, "All troops, listen to my order, change our allegiance and now pledge loyalty to King Chu!"

"Yes!" They envied Ye Feng's benefits greatly. Without exerting much effort, they all retreated into Ye Feng's ranks.

With Zhang Miao's new addition, Ye Feng's side sounded the retreat. However, Ye Feng and Lu Bu were locked in a fierce battle, occasionally stretching their limbs, back and forth!

"It's not too late to retreat now!" Lu Bu reminded him. Ye Feng's Overlord's Halberd landed on the side of his horse, and he said casually, "The title of General of Valour bestowed by that old fellow Yuan Shao is nothing. Lu Bu, you are no match for this king. Retreat quickly, and I might spare your life!"

Lu Bu charged forward recklessly. His Fang Tian Hua Ji moved up and down, left and right, like a thousand silver needles falling, heading towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng had no choice but to defend with his Overlord's Halberd. With one lapse in concentration, the Overlord's Halberd let out a crisp sound and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Lu Bu, if you have the guts, wait for me to pick up my Overlord's Spear!" Ye Feng roared.

"This general does not care, I only wish for a fair fight with you!" Yuan Shao, seeing clearly, gnashed his teeth in anger. "Which general is willing to take Ye Feng's life? I will reward them handsomely!"

"I am willing to go!" Gao Lan and Cao Cao stepped forward, Xiahou Dun following closely behind. Three horses galloped towards the scene.

"General of Valour, I am here to assist you!" Gao Lan shouted, his Twin-Ringed Broadsword moving with great force. Cao Cao was the same. Xiahou Dun was about to stop Cao Cao when he heard Cao Cao say urgently.

"Many things have changed, and I fear Lu Bu has already become someone else's subordinate. If we do not assist, I fear we will be in grave danger!"

Xiahou Dun spurred his horse forward, followed closely by ten thousand archers and thirty thousand infantry rushing forward.

Seeing all his men retreat, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate. He fumbled for the Repeating Crossbow and waved his command flag, "Fire!"

Stones and fire arrows rained down like arrows. Yuan Shao had never seen such a scene and hurriedly shouted, "Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The flag bearer waved his flag. Yuan Shao, seeing the heavy losses, could not afford to care anymore. He snatched the flag from the flag bearer and waved it urgently.

Faced with fire and giant stones, who wouldn't be afraid? They dodged everywhere, leaving only a helpless Yuan Shao, who slapped his war chariot and arrogantly said, "A miscalculation, a miscalculation!"

"My lord, do not worry. If we can capture Ye Feng alive, this matter will be settled!"

Yuan Shao stared intently at Ye Feng's distant battlefield. Suddenly, a man with a leopard head, round eyes, and a beard rushed out, shouting, "Do not harm my brother! I will tear you all in half and let you taste my might!"

The man was Li Kui, a general Ye Feng had obtained through the system. After all, with Cao Cao being a traitor, everything required caution!

Li Kui wielded his Xuan Hua board axes, swinging them with great ferocity, striking fear into the hearts of all. "Brother, you just focus on your fight. Iron Ox will hold the line for you."

"Good," Ye Feng said with a smile. He flicked his Overlord's Halberd. Cao Cao deliberately gave him an opening and suddenly appeared beside Ye Feng, whispering, "My King, I fear Lu Bu has ulterior motives. We must be vigilant."

With a flick of his sword, Ye Feng's grip on the Overlord's Halberd loosened slightly. Cao Cao suddenly appeared beside Lu Bu. Lu Bu stared at Li Kui with a face full of doubt, wondering where Ye Feng had found such a fierce general.

"I, Iron Ox, think you are all made of paper! Come at me if you dare!" Li Kui swung his Xuan Hua board axes and charged. Tian Feng's long spear moved slightly, lightly tapping the Xuan Hua board axes.

"Iron Ox, look carefully, that person, kill him!" Ye Feng said coldly, "He is the one who tried to kill me!"

"Wah, wah, wah, you dare to make a move against my brother!" Li Kui disregarded everything else, abandoning all pretense of technique, and swung his axe after axe. As for Lu Bu and the others nearby, it was all a charade!

"Let your Grandpa Iron Ox hack you a few times and get out of here!" Li Kui roared. The white horse under Tian Feng whinnied restlessly.

Tian Feng cautiously stared at Li Kui. He thrust his long spear again, lifting, stabbing, and piercing in one fluid motion. Li Kui, holding his Xuan Hua board axes, defended from the left and right but was still severely stabbed.

"King Chu, you pride yourself on your unmatched might, but now you are a lone tree struggling to stand. Why do you not dismount and surrender!" Lu Bu blurted out with blinking eyes, "If King Chu still cares for the lives of his subordinates, why do you not go to their rescue!"

These men were only going through the motions, and now that Iron Ox was in trouble, how could they surrender? Lu Bu, with a meaningful look, added, "If someone were to assist this general, this general would not be alone!"

"You good-for-nothing Lu Bu, provoking this king time and again! This king will not forgive you!" Ye Feng's Overlord's Halberd thrust out repeatedly. Lu Bu could only retreat again and again. He feigned carelessness as he approached Li Kui, and his Fang Tian Hua Ji heavily struck Tian Feng.

Tian Feng instantly fell from his horse. Li Kui seized the opportunity and charged forward, making as if to chop Tian Feng. Tian Feng's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly called for help, "Quick, save me!"

The next moment, the Fang Tian Hua Ji heavily struck Li Kui, weighing a thousand jin. Li Kui rolled his eyes and fainted. Tian Feng raised his long spear, about to make a move, but it was blocked by a sword!

"What is the meaning of this!" Tian Feng was enraged, his voice filled with righteous indignation.

Lu Bu calmly shook his head and said slowly, "We have suffered heavy losses this time. Why not take him back? Moreover, he was originally my great general. If we add another fierce general, wouldn't that be wonderful!"

Seeing the three charging towards him menacingly, Tian Feng could only agree reluctantly. Lu Bu hoisted Li Kui onto his horse and galloped away, striking his Red Hare horse.

When the Wuzhui horse arrived, Ye Feng wore a faint smile and murmured to himself, "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, you pride yourself on being from a noble lineage for four generations. Today, I will let you suffer losses at the hands of these minor figures. You have no regrets. It is only fitting that you have this calamity, and no one can save you!"
