Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

After speaking with Ning Xinhua, Lin Mu put his mind at ease.

There's no other reason than that Guan Yu was at a disadvantage, and some people couldn't sit still any longer!

It wasn't Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shu.

His trusted generals Ji Ling and Zhang Xun also charged into the battlefield with their weapons. Yuan Shao's generals Gao Gan and others tried to stop them, but they couldn't, and they didn't dare to join in the fun.

Ji Ling, carrying a three-pointed double-edged sword, leaped off his horse with his eyes wide with anger and headed straight for... Guan Yu.

Of course they wouldn't go after Yan Liang and Wen Chou...

The three-pointed, double-edged sword gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight. Its thick, broad blade clearly indicated that it was a weapon that only a strong person could wield with ease.

Its pervasive aura actually reached the level of a fifth-level Divine General!
"How come the strength of historical generals has increased so dramatically... Could it really be because of my influence?" Lin Mu frowned slightly after sensing Ji Ling's powerful aura.

In the past, most historical generals hovered between the level of a first-level Divine General and a third-level Divine General, with the more outstanding ones ranking between the level of a fourth-level Divine General and a sixth-level Divine General... The most powerful ones, including Lu Bu and Dian Wei, only reached the level of a Fusion Spirit Divine General... But in this life, even Heavenly Divine Generals have emerged!

Seeing that Guan Yu was gradually losing ground, although he did not show any signs of defeat, Ji Ling and his men realized that Guan Yu's aura was starting to fluctuate after a long battle, which was a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Zhang Xun brandished a long-handled broadsword, closely following Ji Ling, his eyes fixed on Guan Yu, intending to attack from both sides and capture this red-faced man who was famous throughout the land.

That's right, not kill, but capture. Clearly, Yuan Shu also had his eye on the incredibly brave Guan Yu!

Guan Yu became a highly sought-after figure by many warlords!

Unaware that many warlords harbored designs on him, Guan Yu was completely focused on dealing with Yan Liang and Wen Chou. They had no idea that Yan Liang and Wen Chou also shared a sworn brotherhood!

Indeed, he sensed the bond and support between Yan Liang and Wen Chou, similar to that between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

"My brothers don't know what happened, their communication has been cut off..." Guan Yu said, dealing with the attacks, feeling a little anxious.

It was this anxiety that made him overlook something... In an instant, he suddenly felt a gust of evil wind behind him, an ominous wind.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure approaching with a sharp, menacing blade.

His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "They're here after all... If I fall into a disadvantageous position, they'll all pounce on me... No, I can't continue to be so passive. I have to regain the upper hand, intimidate them, and try to buy them as much time as possible."

"Clang!~~~" In an instant, Ji Ling's attack arrived, directly slashing at Guan Yu's feet.

Guan Yu's aura hardened, and he didn't counterattack, defend, or dodge, directly taking the blow.

Zhang Xun, who was behind him, also swung his long sword and slashed at Guan Yu's back.

Guan Yu ignored this attack!
"Boom!" Two huge roars rang out, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds.

Guan Yu was blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground.

And coincidentally, he smashed it right in front of the aperture gate.

The protective shield of divine energy on Guan Yu's body shattered as he was blasted away, and his aura became even more chaotic.

"Cough cough!~~~" Guan Yu's coughing came from the huge crater that had been smashed open.

"Hmph! What do you want? Showing up out of nowhere, what kind of heroes are you!" Yan Liang looked at Ji Ling, his face ashen.

"Guan Yu has just fallen into a disadvantageous position, and you can't wait to jump out and take advantage of the situation. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by all the heroes of the world if word gets out?" Wen Chou glared angrily at Ji Ling.

In the past, they were good friends, drinking and eating together, even going to brothels together... But now, they serve different masters, and may even become enemies in their own internal struggles...

Yan Liang roared, brandishing his broadsword as he stood shoulder to shoulder with Wen Chou, coldly staring at Ji Ling and Zhang Xun. Although he was Guan Yu's enemy, he couldn't stand this opportunistic behavior. Wen Chou's eyes were also icy, filled with murderous intent, clearly extremely displeased with Ji Ling and Zhang Xun's interference.

Ji Ling, however, paid no heed to Yan Liang's accusations, a smug grin spreading across his face: "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, we are here to capture Guan Yu on the orders of our lord. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way now, or don't blame me for being merciless with my blade!"

He raised his three-pointed, double-edged sword again, the cold light on the blade seemingly even stronger.

Although Zhang Xun did not speak, he slightly raised the long sword in his hand, pointing it at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, indicating his attitude.

Just as tensions were about to rise, Guan Yu slowly emerged from the giant pit. His complexion was even more ruddy than before, and his blood was surging.

He braced his swaying body against the ground with his Green Dragon Crescent Blade. His gaze was like lightning, first sweeping over the smug Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, then coldly glancing in the direction of Lin Mu.

The truly terrifying enemies haven't even appeared yet... This delaying mission is going to be incredibly difficult... But after all this time, why haven't my brothers shown up yet? Even our bonds have broken...

"Yuan Gonglu and Yuan Benchu, do you two warlords intend to join forces to bully the weak with your numbers? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the heroes of the world for such behavior?" Guan Yu turned around and looked at Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Ji Ling slung the three-pointed double-edged sword over his shoulder and sneered, "Red-faced thief, stop trying to outwit me! On the battlefield, the victor is king, the loser is a bandit! You're already at your last gasp. If you know what's good for you, surrender obediently and come back with us to see our lord. Maybe then we'll spare your life. Otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, the long sword in his hand suddenly stopped, the blade scraping the ground and splashing up a string of strange rainbow light, exuding a murderous aura and an overwhelming sense of threat.

Zhang Xun chimed in, "That's right! My lord values ​​your talent and is therefore sparing your life. If you insist on resisting, today will be your burial ground!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward, his long-handled broadsword pointing at Guan Yu, the cold glint of the blade casting flickering light on Guan Yu's face.

"Heh..." Yan Liang and Wen Chou laughed in fury upon hearing their words. Yuan Shu was shameless, and even his subordinates were the same—they were all in the same boat!

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu was so angry that he laughed. Even the main force, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, had not uttered such harsh words at this stage. They thought they could recruit two weaklings... How naive!
Guan Yu's laughter carried a hint of disdain, then he shouted in a deep voice, "You want me to surrender? With your abilities... you're simply delusional!"

As Guan Yu spoke, his gaze swept over Yan Liang and the other four, his arrogant expression still lingering on his face.

"Stubborn to the end? Well then, we'll beat you down!" Ji Ling, still brimming with a mysterious confidence, charged forward with his knife in hand.

Zhang Xun followed closely behind.

This time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't move. They just wanted to see how badly those two would be tortured!
Guan Yu roared, then suddenly turned around, his Green Dragon Crescent Blade abruptly changing direction. He dragged the blade, then yanked it out, unleashing a terrifying blade aura that had been brewing for a long time, accompanied by a giant green dragon, which suddenly appeared and slashed towards the sneak-attacking Ji Ling.

In the blink of an eye, it devoured Ji Ling...

The next moment, Ji Ling's figure was blasted away like a cannonball, creating a large crater.

Zhang Xun was also swept away by the aftershock and slammed hard onto the ground.

With just one strike, two fierce generals were blasted away... The difference in skill level was obvious...

Seeing this, Yan Liang and Wen Chou sneered and then rushed forward with their weapons to fight Guan Yu.

"Buzz!~~" Just then, a strange fluctuation came from the portal of light.

Ripples of energy appeared on its surface...

"Are Liu Bei and the others coming out?" Lin Mu, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu all thought of this possibility after seeing the situation.

However, at that moment, the portal of light suddenly trembled, unleashing a terrifying power that caused it to slowly shrink in size!

Seeing this situation, the first to make a move was not Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, but Lin Mu!

Pulled by Dian Wei, Lin Mu and the others were led by the three Nine-Yuan Divine Generals towards the portal of light.

They had anticipated this: if the aperture malfunctioned, it would either close, disappear, or Liu Bei would appear.

Contingency plans have been prepared for all three scenarios.

The current situation is very likely the second one!
Liu Bei might have left from elsewhere, closing this gateway. As for his sworn brother Guan Yu, Liu Bei probably believed he could escape…

Lin Mu and the others reacted much faster than Yan Liang and the others... They rushed into the light circle before they could even react.

Guan Yu, who was nearby, actually wanted to stop Lin Mu and the others, but he was held back by Yan Liang and Wen Chou and had no time to stop them before Lin Mu and the others went inside.

One small action can have far-reaching consequences. Lin Mu and the others had already rushed inside; if they were still fighting outside, it would be a disaster…

The second group to rush in were Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Then, knowing that he might not be able to change anything, Guan Yu also rushed into the circle of light.

Ji Ling, who had just jumped out of the pit, also rushed into the circle of light...

"Charge!" Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu shouted in unison! (End of Chapter)
