Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

"The Marquis of Champions?"

"Heh, never even heard of that. You probably just made it up yourself, didn't you?"

Across from him, Shen Ting saw that Lu Xiao was not even twenty years old, and immediately felt contempt for him:

"I have always heard that the Zhou Kingdom has no great generals. Your General Qian of Zemeng Camp is a good defender, but he has been hiding in the camp all this time and has not dared to confront our army."

"What? Now, even General Qian is terrified of our Chu army and dares not come out to fight. Instead, you, a mere brat, have been sent to bluff and even come to your death?"

After saying this, he burst into laughter, and the more than two hundred Chu soldiers behind him also laughed so hard they were doubled over.

Lu Xiao, however, was not angered by this, but instead retorted sarcastically:

"Your Chu state is indeed formidable; you were so powerful that you even managed to have someone shoot arrows from the sidelines while the two generals were challenging each other to battle!"

"Yes, General Qian's men are indeed not confident in defeating you, not because you are powerful, but because you are too despicable!"

"On the contrary, our Great Zhou soldiers would never stoop to using such despicable tricks to win!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ting's smile vanished instantly. He glared at Lu Xiao for a moment, then sneered:

"What a quick-witted brat! Today, this general will see if your hand skills are as formidable as your mouth!"

"drive!"

As he spoke, he spurred his warhorse and charged forward at high speed.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao immediately spurred his horse forward as well.

The two sides moved faster and faster, and when their warhorses reached their maximum speed, they were already engaged in close combat.

Clang clang!

Lu Xiao brandished the Black Dragon Spear and exchanged a few blows with Shen Ting, immediately gaining a clear understanding of his strength.

However, Shen Ting shared the same sentiment. After riding around for a short distance, he turned back and looked over, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery.

"You're quite a capable young man; no wonder you were so arrogant earlier!"

"I wonder if you can stop this general's attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ting spurred his horse forward again, wielding his spear and creating a series of afterimages!

He also uses a gun, so when he clashed with Lu Xiao earlier, he easily judged that the young man's marksmanship was not that advanced, and he only needed to charge in this time to take him down!

Clang—

Suddenly, when the two clashed again, Lu Xiao suddenly unleashed a powerful force, directly cleaving Shen Ting's spear in half!

This scene terrified Shen Ting. After rushing out, he hurriedly turned his horse around and returned to his soldiers at an extremely fast speed.

Lu Xiao then burst into laughter:

"Is this the strength of the young talents of your Chu Kingdom?"

"Now it seems, nothing special!"

"How dare you!"

Shen Ting was furious and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to bring another spare spear before charging out again.

At this moment, Qian Yu, Zhang Qingshan and the others breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Lu Xiao and Shen Ting fight back and forth.

Qian Yu, in particular, couldn't help but sigh:

"I originally thought that the Marquis of Champion's horsemanship might not be up to par and he wouldn't be able to gain an advantage over Shen Ting, but now it seems that I underestimated him after all."

"You all underestimate the Champion Marquis!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingshan, Chen Feng, and Wang Hengdao lowered their heads in shame.

They had fought Shen Ting before, and while they couldn't gain the upper hand due to his occasional sneak attacks, they had never exchanged so many blows with him.

In fact, Qian Yu and the others never expected that Lu Xiao had the ability to kill Shen Ting with a single shot!

However, he saw the fear in Zhang Qingshan and others' hearts, and he also saw the low morale of the soldiers in Zemeng's camp. Therefore, he intended to exchange a few blows with Shen Ting on the battlefield in order to boost morale.

On the battlefield, Lu Xiao exchanged dozens of blows with Shen Ting, who had just acquired a new gun. Lu Xiao remained calm and composed, passing by Shen Ting without even breaking a sweat, and didn't forget to taunt him as he went.

"It seems your Chu state truly relied on despicable tricks to win; otherwise, why can't you, a renowned general, defeat me even now?"

"Shen Ting, if you're not up to the task, then quickly admit defeat, or I won't hesitate to kill you on the spot!"

"Arrogant!"

Shen Ting has held on until now, and she has been holding back a lot of anger.

Just like Qian Yu and the others said, he had made countless military achievements with his innate superhuman strength and was a fearsome figure among the generals and soldiers in Ze Meng's camp. But now he was intimidated by an unknown person who was several years younger than him and couldn't sit still on the spot.

So he shouted and charged forward with his gun.

call out--

Just then, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the direction of the Chu soldiers, heading straight for Lu Xiao's face.

But just as the arrow was about to fly out, Lu Xiao seemed to sense something. Without thinking, he switched the Black Dragon Spear in his hand to the Mountain-Shattering Bow, and then, without even glancing at it, shot an arrow directly in the direction from which the cold arrow had come.

Snapped--

With a piercing clang, the Mountain-Shattering Arrow struck down the arrow flying towards Lu Xiao, and then, without losing momentum, headed straight for the archer.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. As the mountain-shattering arrow struck the archer, Lu Xiao had already raised the Black Dragon Spear again and thrust it fiercely towards Shen Ting!

puff-

In an instant, the tip of the Black Dragon Spear struck Shen Ting's shoulder, knocking him to the ground as his expression changed drastically.

At the critical moment, Shen Ting exerted force in his waist, enduring the excruciating pain to keep himself from falling, then lay down on the side of his warhorse and spurred it back.

"Trying to run away?"

Seeing this, Lu Xiao sneered, drew his bow again, and quickly shot an arrow at Shen Ting's exposed body.

"what……"

Shen Ting's screams instantly awakened the soldiers of both Chu and Zhou.

They were utterly shocked to discover that Shen Tinghou had been shot in the heart, and that the arrow had pierced through his body, causing him to fall to the ground while his warhorse was still charging forward, dying with his eyes wide open!

The scene fell silent instantly.

Looking at his spoils, Lu Xiao cast a disdainful glance toward the Chu army:

"I thought your Chu generals were quite formidable, but it turns out they really made their name through sneak attacks."

"I was right just now. Shen Ting is nothing special, and the Chu army is even weaker. They are no match for me!"

"Today, I hereby warn you all: if anyone dares to fire a sneak arrow during a battle between our generals, don't blame me for killing both the arrow-shooter and the person who fired it!"

After saying that, he rode back to camp without looking back.

Although he exposed his back to the Chu army, those two hundred-plus men didn't dare to move an inch.

Only when his figure appeared at the entrance of Ze Meng's camp did the Chu army advance one after another, hurriedly taking Shen Ting's body back before fleeing in a flash.

As soon as Lu Xiao returned to the camp gate, he saw Qian Yu laughing and bowing with clasped hands:

"Your Excellency is truly valiant; we are all ashamed of our own inferiority!"
