Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

……

While Huang Zhong was fighting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Lin Mu, who was on his way to the palace, suddenly sensed a strange danger. It wasn't a killing intent directed at him, but rather... a killing intent directed at Le Jin!

"What's going on? How can I sense that Yue Jin seems to be in danger?" Lin Mu was shocked and immediately pulled on the reins, slowly bringing the car to a stop.

"Gong Tu, you must retreat immediately in this direction! Le Jin is in danger!"

"Huh?!" Dian Wei was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

"Did you foresee that Wenqian would be in danger, my lord?" Wang Yue asked immediately.

"No... I don't know what's going on, but I can now sense that Yue Jin seems to be in danger!" Lin Mu said immediately.

"In that case, I'll go first!" Dian Wei knew the matter was urgent, so he didn't ask any more questions and immediately turned to leave.

"System, what's wrong with me?" Lin Mu asked himself silently.

"--Ding!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, because your Dragon Luck has exceeded 500, you have achieved a hidden achievement, and a special hidden reward has been issued."

"--Ding!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your reputation has been deducted by 100000 points."

Two system notifications then appeared in his ears.

"What? So the hidden reward for accumulating Dragon Luck was already given out a while ago? Why didn't you give me a notification?" Lin Mu was speechless.

Although 10 reputation points are nothing to him, having them deducted like this is still a bit upsetting...

"--Ding!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, please turn to the fourth page from the bottom, seventh item in the system notification record. Your reputation has been deducted by 100000 points."

Another system notification sounded.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu was slightly startled. He immediately flipped through the document and discovered that there had been a similar notification before, but he didn't know why he hadn't heard it, or perhaps he had been thinking about other things at the time...

Lin Mu thought back for a moment and realized that the time was when he learned of the true crisis in the Origin Realm... It turned out that the sound had indeed been heard, but he was too shocked and too immersed in the moment to notice it...

"Wow!! This reward sounds pretty good! Although it's not a physical item, it's a very rare intangible asset!!"

After understanding the reason, Lin Mu turned his attention back to Le Jin.

“If Le Jin were in crisis, he would definitely summon me, but he hasn’t yet, which proves that the crisis hasn’t truly begun. He’s just been tricked!”

"Originally, we were afraid that the other lords would attack the Nine Yuan Legion, so we had Huang Zhong and Le Jin personally oversee the withdrawal. We didn't expect that some people would still set up a trap against us!"

"With Dian Wei coming to the rescue, everything should be fine..." Lin Mu murmured softly.

"Let's go, let's keep going!" Lin Mu waved his hand and continued rushing towards the palace.

……

On the battlefield of Huang Zhong, booming sounds rang out continuously.

Although he was overwhelming Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong knew in his heart that the chances of killing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very small.

He had already learned from his previous battle against Lü Bu that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei could activate special states to enhance their strength. He sensed that the two of them did not activate these states this time, which meant that they did not use their trump cards and were only fighting him with their most basic strength.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei wanted to use him as a stepping stone!
Moreover, he knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial prowess was definitely over 95 points, and even without the protection of heaven and earth, killing them would not be so easy.

Although he couldn't kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with his hammer, he was confident he could kill the other three.

Huang Zhong was about to unleash his full power, preparing to sacrifice some heads to his blade, when at that moment, several streams of energy instantly locked onto him.

He sensed something and looked around, only to see that Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, and others had all arrived nearby.

Sun Ce was among them!

Furthermore, he heard the voice of the Heavenly Dao.

The next moment, his strength was reduced by about 20%!
"[The power of the Seventh Garrison Warlord]!! Sun Jian!"

This was a warning from Sun Jian.

No wonder he dared to let Huang Gai and the others come to fight him... His son Sun Ce had already felt the terror of the Nine Divine Generals before, yet he still dared to rush up so recklessly. It turns out he came prepared.

Huang Zhong considered it for a moment and decided not to launch another attack. He had a feeling that his opponent was not afraid of the Nine Yuan Divine General!
If it really comes down to a fight to the death, the other side will unleash their trump cards and fight desperately.

The current situation is complex; we can't afford to attract too much hatred. However, while Huang Zhong retreated, Sun Jian and his men did not. They spread out, subtly surrounding him…

In particular, Sun Jian and Liu Bei were standing in the direction that Yue Jin had retreated from!

"What are you trying to do?" Even though he was surrounded by more than a dozen fierce generals, Huang Zhong was not intimidated at all.

"Are you going to hold me off?" Huang Zhong looked around, and a terrible guess suddenly popped into his mind.

"Your goal isn't to use me as a testing ground, but to hold me back... Your real target is those two legions, or even Yue Jin!!" Huang Zhong said solemnly.

"General Huang, come again!!" At this moment, Guan Yu, whose body was radiating a strange power, charged forward once more.

At this moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei activated their special abilities.

Even so, after several rounds, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still blasted away by Huang Zhong.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei knew that they were no match for Huang Zhong at this moment, and their previous arrogance vanished.

Huang Zhong is definitely not an ordinary peak-level general!
However, the fact that they were able to fight Huang Zhong shows that the five of them were quite capable, since Huang Zhong's swordsmanship was basically not holding back much power.

"Huang Zhong's growth is too fast... There is a difference between Huang Zhong yesterday and Huang Zhong today..." Sun Ce, who was in the crowd, sighed inwardly when he saw Huang Zhong's performance.

The path to becoming a Heavenly General has been opened, and Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and others have already embarked on this path, while they are still lingering at the level of an ordinary general...

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei continued to fight Huang Zhong, trying to hold him back.

After knocking the two away, Huang Zhong did not go on to kill Huang Gai and the other two. Their lives were nothing compared to Yue Jin's! Even if it meant trading three for one, Huang Zhong refused!

Just as he was about to break through to rescue Yue Jin, a familiar aura emanated from beneath the distant walls of Luoyang... and then that aura quickly disappeared into the distance...

"Wenqian, I'm going to help. You have some fun with them. It would be even better if you could kill one or two of them!" Dian Wei's voice, filled with intense killing intent, rang out.

Huang Zhong was slightly startled. Could it be that his lord was truly a master strategist, knowing that Le Jin and the two legions would be ambushed and killed?!
Without further thought, Huang Zhong suddenly turned around, and with a sudden sweep of his divine blade, he sent Guan Yu flying again, shattering the divine energy shield around Guan Yu's body.

Han Dang, who was following behind Guan Yu to provide support, was also blasted away by this strike. Unlike Guan Yu, even after his divine energy shield shattered, a wisp of the blade's aftershock still struck his body.

"Crack! ~~Screech!" A sound of armor shattering and a piercing sound of flesh being pierced rang out.

Han Dang's armor shattered instantly, and a deep, bone-revealing gash appeared on his chest!
Huang Zhong's attack is terrifying!
Han Dang was blasted away and slammed hard into a pile of garbage.

Huang Zhong was about to rush over and finish off the enemy when he was blocked by a figure.

Sun Ce!

"You sent these three out to attack directly to lull me into a false sense of security and to stall me," Huang Zhong said meaningfully, looking at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce nodded without speaking. As long as Huang Zhong didn't move, he wouldn't move either.

"Not all of the White Horse Cavalry are present!" Huang Zhong sensed this information and immediately added.

"Just as I thought!" Huang Zhong shouted angrily in a low voice.

Sun Ce did not speak upon hearing this, but simply gripped his spear tightly and stared at Huang Zhong.

He and Zhang Fei were evenly matched, and he couldn't defeat Guan Yu. Huang Zhong was able to suppress both of them, proving that he was no match for Huang Zhong either, so he didn't recklessly engage in battle.

"Hmph! It's all a scheme!" Huang Zhong hadn't expected that they would even scheme about such a small detail.

If Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Sun Ce all attack simultaneously, with all their buffs maxed out, and Sun Jian immediately activates the "Seventh Garrison of Warlords' Power," then he will become wary and either fight while retreating or quickly withdraw his troops to escape, rather than engaging in prolonged combat until everyone arrives and surrounds him.

This kind of subtle yet crucial calculation was absolutely beyond the comprehension of Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, and others...

"Since you know this, why don't you break through? Why are you still chatting with us?" At this moment, Sun Ce also noticed something was wrong.

Sure enough, everyone here is a perceptive person, and problems easily arise when something seems amiss.

"Oh no!" Sun Ce seemed to realize something and gave a wry smile.

Lin Mu has not just one Nine-Yuan Divine General by his side, but a full three! If the other two are lurking around Yue Jin, then their plan will fail, no... it might even backfire!

"Impossible... Could Lin Mu have predicted that we would target his two legions and capture Yue Jin? Could he really have predicted that we would withdraw his two legions from Luoyang?" For some reason, Sun Ce suddenly felt a sense of fear rising up his spine.

"Father, we might lose that scheme. Lin Mu might have used special methods to figure out what we were planning!" Sun Ce had only considered this possibility, but he didn't dare to take the risk, so he directly sent a telepathic message to his father, Sun Jian.

"A counter-encirclement?" Sun Jian was slightly startled upon hearing this. He had great trust in his son, Sun Ce.

"Then you should send a telepathic message to Gongjin..." Sun Jian decided to abandon the plan to be on the safe side.

Afterwards, Sun Jian sent a telepathic message to Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, informing them of the situation. (End of Chapter)
