Mythical Three Kingdoms: Martial Arts Reach Divine Ranks, I Alone Rule the World

Yuan Shao reacted strongly.

His face instantly turned ashen, a surge of overwhelming shame and anger rising to his head.

"You arrogant brat! How dare you humiliate us like this!"

The more a person lacks something...

So.

He will become more concerned about something the more he cares about it.

Yuan Shao was no exception in this regard.

For Yuan Shao, who was born to a maid and was thus considered an illegitimate son, this was a different matter.

The Yuan family's reputation, his dignity.

That was the thing he cared about most in his life.

This kind of concern.

It goes far beyond his personal life and death.

He, Yuan Benchu, never lacked the courage to confront the strong.

Zhang Mu stared at Yuan Shao, who was extremely fierce and pointed his sword at him, but did not feel any murderous intent because of Yuan Shao's angry shout.

He just said those things.

It was just something he did on purpose.

To see a person's true nature.

The best way is through long-term observation of his actions.

And the fastest way.

It depends on how he behaves when his emotions fluctuate.

undoubtedly.

Yuan Shao's fierce temperament at this moment gave Zhang Mu quite a surprise.

Perhaps it is this fierce temperament that makes it possible.

This led to the famous scene where all the ministers remained silent, except for Yuan Shenqi and Dong.

They shifted their gaze away from Yuan Shao.

Zhang Mu skipped Yuan Shu and went straight to Cao Cao.

"Cao Mengde!"

"What's your choice?"

"Will you, like your friend Yuan Benchu, brandish your sword and roar at me, or will you stand by and watch, waiting until I've dealt with him before settling on you?"

While threatening Cao Cao, Zhang Mu glanced at the corpse on the ground, his intentions clear.

From beginning to end.

Zhang Mu ignored Yuan Shu completely.

It wasn't that he didn't value this future Skeleton King who loved honey water.

Rather, it was through Yuan Shu's gesture of shielding Yuan Shao and Cao Cao with his sword when the three first arrived that he had already seen through Yuan Shu's true nature.

It's true that Yuan Shu was good at assessing the situation, and it's also true that he was afraid of death and cherished his life.

In the field.

When Cao Cao heard the mysterious man in front of him call out his name and that of his friend Yuan Shao, he was shocked and his eyes showed even more surprise and doubt.

Even after committing the murder, he remained calm and composed.

Despite knowing their extraordinary backgrounds, they still dared to make sarcastic remarks and made no attempt to conceal their threatening intent.

Where did this vicious person come from in Luodu?

In a short time.

Cao Cao's mind raced, and his apprehension towards Zhang Mu grew stronger.

but.

In response.

Cao Cao, however, was very decisive.

He stepped forward and came directly to his friend Yuan Shao's side, where they faced Zhang Mu together.

"Since you know Cao Cao and the others' names, why do you still speak so frivolously and insultingly? Could it be that you and the Cao and Yuan families have a past feud?"

"May I ask your name?"

"Let us three brothers die today, at least we'll die knowing why."

Cao Cao made his choice.

In his words, he was still trying to find out Zhang Mu's background.

die?

Yuan Shu, who had remained silent since entering the backyard, was startled by what he heard.

But when Yuan Shu's gaze fell upon the several lifeless corpses at Zhang Mu's feet...

A smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on his face.

"Mengde!"

"Have you misunderstood this gentleman?"

"Perhaps he shares the same goal as us, simply wanting to eliminate the heinous criminal inside!"

"Sir, wouldn't you agree?"

Yuan Shu gave Zhang Mu an unnatural smile.

result.

In response, Zhang Mu gave him an extremely amused expression.

"My goals are different from yours!"

"I came here..."

"It was to silence them!"

As for the reasons for the silencing, and whose mouths to be silenced...

Ha ha!

That depends on how Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu interpret it themselves.

Zhang Mu turned and glanced into the room behind him. When he heard the lewd sounds cease, he chuckled and said, "Tang Zhou, aren't you coming out now that you're done?"

"It seems you're not having much luck."

"Two groups of people want to take your life today!"

Inside the room separated by a wall.

Tang Zhou, his clothes disheveled, his hair loose, and reeking of filth, stood beside the bed with a terrified expression.

And beside him.

There lay a middle-aged, beautiful woman who had already fainted.

If this were any other time...

Tang Zhou would certainly not end things hastily.

"Could it be that the court has discovered my secret collusion with palace eunuchs, carried out on the orders of General Tiangong, to plot for next year's important events?"

Tang Zhou thought in fear.

Instinctively, his first thought was to run.

Once the Holy Church's plans are exposed...

Not only would the imperial court not tolerate him, but even the Heavenly General might not forgive this person who is more trouble than he's worth.

Thinking of this.

Tang Zhou, who cultivated the martial arts of blood and qi, no longer hesitated.

He directly activated all the blood and energy in his body, soaring towards the rooftop; he never even considered leaving through the main entrance.

"Bang!"

The roof was broken open.

By using the method of activating his blood and qi, Tang Zhou was able to briefly float several feet above the ground and see the scene in the courtyard.

In an instant.

He was struck as if by lightning, and his blood froze instantly!

The front and back yards were littered with the corpses of church members, the blood pools winding and shocking!

In the backyard.

A dashing young man was watching him with a relaxed air.

Not far from the young man, three other people stood together as if facing a formidable enemy, their fear of the valiant young man palpable.

Who is this young man?

Do I know him?

A question arose in Tang Zhou's mind.

Before he could figure it out, the moment his eyes met Zhang Mu's...

A chilling sense of death instantly seeped into his limbs and bones.

Because he saw it.

The dashing young man who met his gaze slowly extended a hand.

It was as if it were grasped in mid-air.

Tang Zhou immediately felt as if the space around him was being gripped.

It pressed directly into all parts of his body, making him feel as if he were sinking into a swamp.

"No!"

Tang Zhou didn't want to die.

He frantically urged the blood and energy within his body, attempting to struggle free.

but.

It was all in vain.

No matter how much Tang Zhou struggled, he felt an increasingly intense spatial compression.

It was the cracking and snapping sound of all his joints under this pressure.

"No, I can't die!"

"If you spare my life, I have a confidential matter to report to the imperial court..."

Tang Zhou believed that Zhang Mu was sent by the imperial court to arrest him.

They wanted to exchange the secrets they knew for a chance to survive.

however.

What he failed to notice was...

As soon as he said this, the chill in Zhang Mu's eyes intensified.

"puff!"

Before Tang Zhou could continue speaking, Zhang Mu's loosely clenched hand suddenly tightened.

The literary energy that had been confining Tang Zhou in the surrounding space suddenly erupted, directly crushing Tang Zhou into a lump of meat paste mixed with bone fragments, which exploded in mid-air.

He didn't look at Tang Zhou, who was dead beyond any doubt, again.

Zhang Mu turned around slowly, as if he had just crushed an ant, and focused his gaze on Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu.

"The real person is dead!"

"Now there are only three of you left. Who wants to go first?"

As he said this, Zhang Mu deliberately released his killing intent, which swept over the three of them.

Sensing the chilling killing intent, Yuan Shao's hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.

It's not that he's afraid.

It's a bodily instinct.

Just like a domestic dog that has never seen a tiger in its entire life, it will be so frightened by the presence of a tiger that it will lose control of its bladder and become paralyzed.

Yuan Shao had thought that with the combined strength of himself, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu, they might be able to defeat the mysterious young man before them...

But at that moment, he realized that he was terribly wrong.

This young man is actually a Grandmaster of Literature!

This kind of people.

How could the three of them, who hadn't even touched the edge of the Grandmaster realm, possibly solve this?

Despair inevitably enveloped Yuan Shao.

So much so that even the hand that held the sword fell limply to his side.

Just then.

A familiar voice rang in Yuan Shao's ears.

"Kongji!"

"Don't try to toy with my two brothers and Mengde!"

"If you truly wanted to kill them, why would you have spared their lives until now?"

"You've come all the way to Luodu, why haven't you come to see Ji? Have you forgotten your old drinking buddy?"

Between Zhang Mu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao, a refined scholar in white suddenly appeared and defused the murderous intent released by Zhang Mu for the three of them.

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

They saw the person approaching.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were overjoyed and immediately called out.
