Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Seeing Pan Feng's impressive display, Ji Beiqin, Jiang Chenglong, and the others were stunned. Although they had all died under Hua Xiong's blade, and in a crushing defeat at that, their strength was still considerable. If successfully recruited, they would be the cornerstone of their power!
Unfortunately, they don't even have the right to speak now... As for refuting it, that's even more impossible; as Yuan Shu said, it would only make them a laughing stock.

"Boom boom!~~~~" At this moment, the sound of drums resounded. Soon, a huge booming and clanging sound also appeared.

Unlike Yu She, this time it lasted a long time, longer than anyone expected.

Half an hour... an hour... three hours... half a day...

No one expected that Pan Feng and Hua Xiong had been fighting for most of the day!

Now, the various lords could roughly guess Hua Xiong's strength at this time.

Behind Cao Cao, Cao Hong and others were also eager to make a move, but they were stopped by their lord Cao Cao.

The only one whose expression was unusual was the master, Han Fu.

As time went on, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Because he knew that the longer Pan Feng lasted, the weaker his combat power would become, and then...

Thinking of this, Han Fu gave Yuan Shao a wink. Then Yuan Shao sent a servant to deliver a message.

And so, at dawn the next day, the urgent drumming changed its rhythm.

Seeing this, Lin Mu, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Cao Hong, and others all sighed inwardly, "Pan Feng is doomed!"

While others were engaged in a life-or-death struggle, Han Fu's casual interference disrupted Pan Feng's rhythm and morale, ultimately affecting Pan Feng's fate. If he hadn't intervened, Pan Feng would have lost, but his life wouldn't have been in danger. After all, having fought Hua Xiong for so long, retreating was still an option.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the familiar messenger rushed in to report:
"Report! Report! Report to the Alliance Leader! Pan Feng and Hua Xiong were locked in a fierce battle, but just now, Pan Feng was killed by Hua Xiong."

Upon hearing this report, Han Fu was so stunned that she collapsed into her seat.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's expressions changed again.

The next moment, that familiar power of heaven and earth appeared, enveloping Han Fu...

"Holy crap... Pan Feng seems to have some skill; no wonder he's called a general," Ji Beiqin exclaimed in the private chat channel.

"Han Fu dared to send them out under those circumstances, which clearly shows he knew their strength. It's a pity, though, that Yuan Shao seemed to be influenced by Han Fu..." Jiang Chenglong said.

"What a pity... what a pity... he was killed by Hua Xiong, we've lost a great general." Ji Beiqin lamented.

"Haha! ~~Guandong rats, your strongest rat has already been killed by me, who dares to come up now!" Hua Xiong's taunting voice appeared as expected.

However, many people could tell that Hua Xiong was tired!

"Damn... Guan Yu's involvement at this time is somewhat advantageous, isn't it?!" Ji Beiqin and others exclaimed in the chat channel.

"Buzz!!~~~" Just then, the purple aura in the sky, which had just begun to brighten, thickened by three times and covered an even wider area.

The image of the divine deer in the sky still appears, constantly galloping through the heavens...

"This is outrageous!" Yuan Shao roared, slamming his fist on the table. His faction had just lost two formidable generals; it was painful to see them suffer.

"It's a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou haven't arrived. If either of them were here, what would I have to fear from Hua Xiong?"

When Yuan Shao uttered these words, many people began to take action.

The one who acted the fastest was not Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, or Cao Cao, but Lin Mu.

He stood up when Yuan Shao slammed his fist on the table.

"Alliance Leader, I have a fierce general under my command who is ready to fight!" Lin Mu volunteered, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"--Ding!"

"—System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, please note! Your volunteering may cause changes to the mission you have accepted." The system notification sounded in Lin Mu's ears.

Lin Mu ignored the system prompt and stared intently at Yuan Shao.

"Leader, I am willing to slay Hua Xiong's head and present it to you." At this moment, Guan Yu's voice rang out. He had appeared beside Lin Mu at some point.

Seeing this, the players all became extremely focused.

Lin Mu is actually trying to compete with Guan Yu for the lead in battle!!
That makes sense. Lin Mu has many powerful generals under his command, and some of them are much stronger than Hua Xiong, so of course they can seize that opportunity.

If Guan Yu had stood up alone, Yuan Shao would have made things difficult for him, but now that Lin Mu was also involved, he had to take it seriously.

At this moment, Huang Zhong also appeared beside Lin Mu.

Huang Zhong looked at Guan Yu and sighed softly, "Gong Tu, it seems this opportunity has fallen into your lap."

He knew that to stop Guan Yu from going into battle, someone had to keep Guan Yu in check. Currently, the only people around his lord who could keep Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in check were himself and Wang Yue. In other words, Huang Zhong couldn't go and kill Hua Xiong!
"This humble general requests to fight Hua Xiong!" Huang Zhong said.

“Both of you fierce generals want to fight Hua Xiong and have volunteered, which is commendable. But Hua Xiong is only one person. You two can’t fight together, or he will look down on our Guandong Coalition,” Yuan Shu said quietly.

"Alliance Leader, my second brother is a fierce general. Taking Hua Xiong's head will be as easy as taking something out of a bag, which will greatly boost the morale of the allied forces!" Liu Bei's voice rang out. Now that Lin Mu had stepped in, Liu Bei had no choice but to step forward.

"Heh... You think it's as easy as taking something out of a bag? Who would believe that?" Yuan Shu, the troublemaker, scoffed.

"If it fails, the leader of the alliance may take the head of the prefect..." Liu Bei was actually willing to risk his own life for Guan Yu.

Upon hearing this, the alliance leader Yuan Shao's face lit up with joy. He had long wanted to get rid of Liu Bei, and now he had the chance!
But when he was about to agree to let Guan Yu fight, Lin Mu said quietly, "Alliance Leader, since both of them want to fight, why not let them fight?"

"Take this!!" As soon as Lin Mu finished speaking, Huang Zhong actually swung his long sword and slashed at Guan Yu.

This scene caught everyone off guard.

"Clang!!!" A violent clang rang out as Huang Zhong and Guan Yu's swords clashed.

However, because both of them had used a lot of force, there was no backlash or aftershock.

After that, the two fought very restrainedly.

"Alliance Leader, the two are evenly matched, and Hua Xiong is extremely arrogant outside. I have a junior general under my command, so let him go and test the waters first," Lin Mu suddenly said, looking at Yuan Shao.

Before Yuan Shao could respond, a furious shout rang out outside the tent:
"Dian Wei, the young general under General Wei, requests to fight Hua Xiong!!"

Upon hearing this voice, Yuan Shao and the others were stunned. What is this...?

Just as Yuan Shao was about to rebuke Lin Mu, Lin Mu said, "Alliance Leader, as the Vice Alliance Leader, shouldn't I have the right to send a military general into battle?"

Upon hearing Lin Mu's words, everyone who had been looking for trouble fell silent, and even Yuan Shu swallowed the accusations that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Dian Wei was actually recruited by Lin Mu?!?" Jiang Chenglong exclaimed in disbelief in the chat channel.

"We had speculated about this before, and this is proof enough," Xuan Yuan Changying sighed softly. There were many instances of Dian Wei's actions and frequent appearances with Lin Mu. Although many people guessed that Lin Mu was trying to win over Dian Wei, they all thought it was impossible. They never expected that Dian Wei had already pledged allegiance to Lin Mu.

"Holy crap... So the foreshadowing of Xiao Mu vying for the alliance leader was revealed here!!!" Ji Beiqin exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing Ji Beiqin's guess, everyone's expression changed slightly. It turned out that Lin Mu had been laying the groundwork all along, all to sabotage Hua Xiong and alter the course of history!
Does this mean the story of slaying Hua Xiong while the wine is still warm will never happen?!
If Lin Mu knew their speculation, he would smile slightly: "Warm wine to kill Hua Xiong, hehe, that's just a legend!"

"Damn it! Lin Mu, how dare you play dirty tricks!!!" Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu shouted, but the hot-tempered Zhang Fei couldn't stand it anymore.

That was an opportunity that belonged to his second brother, but it was stolen from him!
At this moment, Liu Bei's face was ashen, and he did not stop Zhang Fei.

"Who are you, daring to rebuke this Vice Alliance Leader?" Upon hearing this, Lin Mu turned around and shouted with a resolute expression.

It would be normal for Yuan Shao not to recognize Zhang Fei, but how could Lin Mu not recognize him? Lin Mu's question was clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.

Hearing the thumping sounds outside and the shouts of many soldiers, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei knew that the opportunity had been lost!

“You…” Zhang Fei pointed at Lin Mu, looking at him with murderous intent.

"Fourth brother, sit down!" Liu Bei's voice rang out at this moment.

"My younger brother is impetuous, please forgive him, Vice Alliance Leader Lin Mu," Liu Bei said, bowing slightly with his brows lowered.

Lin Mu was somewhat surprised to see that Liu Bei had held back.

He had already made a plan in his mind: Liu Bei would use the art of borrowing luck to transfer his fortune to him.

That might limit Dian Wei...

However, Liu Bei did not do that, clearly preparing for future actions...

The two fighters stopped fighting after learning that Dian Wei was going to battle.

Guan Yu was well aware of Dian Wei's fighting prowess.

Sure enough, after about half an incense stick's time, the shouts outside grew louder by a third, and the drumming became more urgent.

"Boom!!" A moment later, a blood-red figure descended from the sky above the camp.

Dian Wei's imposing figure, like a blood god, crashed down, his feet plunging into the ground.

In his hand, he held Hua Xiong's head.

"This young general has fulfilled his mission and brought back Hua Xiong's head for our lord!"

After saying this, Dian Wei tossed Hua Xiong's head lightly, and it rolled to Yuan Shao's table.

"They really killed him!!" many feudal lords exclaimed in surprise.

"As expected of the General Who Guards the Garrison!" Many people still knew Dian Wei.

As Dian Wei appeared, a series of system notifications rang in Lin Mu's ears. (End of Chapter)
