Chapter 417

Both of them had extremely keen eyesight; the moment they saw each other, they both nodded slightly before withdrawing their gazes.

Then, Lu Bu continued to challenge the warlords: "Warlords within the city, is there anyone who dares to fight me?"

Seeing Lu Bu so arrogant, Yuan Shao immediately turned to the warlords and asked, "Is there anyone who dares to go and meet this Lu Bu?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Qian stepped out and bowed, saying, "Report to the Alliance Leader! My fierce general Liu Sandao has long wanted to slay Lu Bu with his blade and seize the Red Hare horse he rides as his own mount. If he goes into battle, he will surely slay Lu Bu."

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao felt speechless inside upon hearing this.

That Lu Bu looked like someone with real substance.

Back when he rescued the Son of Heaven, he had seen Lu Bu's invincible bravery with his own eyes.

He asked himself, even if his own subordinates Yan Liang and Wen Chou were to face Lu Bu, they would likely be defeated without a doubt.

This was also the reason why he did not bring Yan Liang and Wen Chou along.

It was precisely because he feared being unable to back down once he faced Lu Bu.

If he lost them, he would be heartbroken to death.

But what kind of person was Tao Qian?

What kind of fierce general could he possibly have under his command to dare speak such wild words about slaying Lu Bu?

It was simply absurd.

The key was that the name "Liu Sandao" sounded like that of a lowly commoner or a small fry.

However, he was currently lacking cannon fodder to test Lu Bu's strength, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. He immediately smiled and said, "Good! Haha! Where is General Liu?"

"This general is here!"

Liu Sandao immediately stood out from behind Tao Qian.

"Do you dare to fight Lu Bu?"

Yuan Shao looked Liu Sandao up and down, a trace of disdain flashing deep in his eyes, feeling that Liu Sandao was indeed very ordinary yet excessively confident, but on the surface, he still asked loudly.

"Why would I not dare?"

Liu Sandao bowed confidently, saying, "My great blade has long been hungry and impatient! Alliance Leader Yuan, please wait a moment; I shall go and slay Lu Bu right now!"

Saying this, Liu Sandao walked quickly down the gate tower, spurred his horse, and charged out of the camp to kill Lu Bu.

On the gate tower, Cao Cao stood beside Su Xuan and asked in a low voice, "Boyuan, who do you think will win and who will lose?"

"Are you serious?"

Su Xuan looked at Cao Cao, speechless: "Does such a thing even need to be asked? One is at the early stage of the Heaven-Man Realm, the other is at the late stage of Anjin; is there any comparison between the two?"

Nearby, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and others also looked at Liu Sandao, who was rushing to his death, with strange expressions, feeling very speechless.

To not even be able to see the opponent's strength, and for someone who doesn't even know their own positioning to be this confident—it's simply seeking death!

They all admired Liu Sandao's courage a little.

"Uh..."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly: "Boyuan, do you mean that Lu Bu has already achieved the status of a Heaven-Man Divine General? No way, right? Hasn't the Heaven-Man Realm long since become a legend?"

Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and the others behind him also looked at Su Xuan, then at Lu Bu over there, their faces equally filled with disbelief.

"That is the fact!"

Su Xuan shrugged and said, "As early as a few years ago, Lu Bu had already broken through to the Heaven-Man Realm!"

"As for whether it's a legend? Isn't there a glaring example right now?"

Lu Bu's talent was one of the best in the entire late Han period.

Breaking through to the Heaven-Man Realm was nothing strange.

"Hiss!"

Realizing that Su Xuan was serious, Cao Cao immediately looked at Lu Bu outside the city and gasped: "If he really is a Heaven-Man, then who among us can still defeat this Lu Bu?"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Huang Zhong and Dian Wei beside Su Xuan, and asked Su Xuan, "Boyuan! What is the current cultivation base of Generals Hansheng and Dian Wei? Have they broken through to the Heaven-Man Realm?"

Xiahou Dun and the others heard this and looked at Huang Zhong and Dian Wei again.

As for Zhao Yun?

Seeing his delicate skin and tender flesh, looking like a fair-faced young scholar, and being so young, Cao Cao didn't ask at all, and Xiahou Dun and the others didn't think Zhao Yun was very powerful, so they ignored him.

"Pfft! Who knows! You'll know when there's an opportunity in the future!"

Su Xuan smiled, spread his hands, and dropped this sentence without any intention of answering directly.

But Cao Cao vaguely felt that his guess was likely true.

At least one of Huang Zhong and Dian Wei had likely already broken through to the Heaven-Man Realm.

Otherwise, Su Xuan could not be so calm when facing the Heaven-Man Realm Lu Bu.

Likewise, it would be impossible to know that Lu Bu was in the Heaven-Man Realm.

Cao Cao never expected that Su Xuan himself was the most powerful one!

His martial arts realm was already at the mid-stage of the Heaven-Man Realm.

The three great generals he brought with him were all in the Heaven-Man Realm.

"Kill!!!"

At this moment, on Lu Bu's side, he saw a self-confident general charging out from the allied camp, rushing toward him to kill.

He sensed it slightly and immediately saw that this person was only a martial general at the late stage of Anjin, and his face darkened slightly.

Late stage of Anjin?

Not even at the Gangjin Realm; who the hell is this looking down on?

"Lu Bu! I'll take your head! Your Red Hare horse belongs to me!"

Seeing this, Liu Sandao brandished his long blade and suddenly accelerated, slashing toward Lu Bu.

At this moment, Liu Sandao's eyes were full of excitement.

He seemed to have already seen the scene where he slew Lu Bu, seized the Red Hare, became the number one fierce general in the world, and was praised and rewarded by the warlords.

"Die, you brat!"

Lu Bu, with a dark face, brandished the Painted Halberd in his hand, which turned into a blur and instantly swept across Liu Sandao's neck.

"Eh? Why is that back so familiar?"

The next moment, Liu Sandao saw a headless figure charging forward, and then, his vision began to darken, and his consciousness began to dissipate.

At the very last moment, he suddenly realized: "Oh! That's my back... I was killed in a second..."

Just like that, Liu Sandao fell into eternal silence with regret...

"Gurgle!!"

At this time, Liu Sandao's head rolled to the ground, and the headless corpse also fell from the warhorse.

The warhorse ran more than ten meters before stopping.

"Hiss!"

On the gate tower, the warlords saw the scene where Liu Sandao was easily killed in a second, and most of them gasped:

"This Lu Bu is so powerful! General Liu Sandao looked quite brave, and he was killed in a second?"

"Are you serious? That Liu Sandao was obviously a fraud, okay?"

"Is that so?"

"Isn't it?"

"...."

Tao Qian heard these discussions, his face full of embarrassment, and he immediately retreated silently.

Yuan Shao's face was also slightly dark at this time.

This guy actually dared to say he could slay Lu Bu?

What do you think Lu Bu is?

At least hold on for a few rounds and test more of Lu Bu's strength!

Sending your head directly, besides damaging the morale of the allied forces, what is the use?

At this time, Zhang Fei beside Liu Bei whispered: "This Liu Sandao is indeed a fraud; he couldn't even see the enemy's strength, yet he dared to speak wild words and accept the challenge. It's simply seeking death!"

"Indeed!"

Guan Yu beside him also stroked his beard and nodded, looking at Lu Bu outside the city with a solemn expression: "However! This Lu Bu is indeed very powerful! That halberd strike just now was natural, with the brilliance contained within; it was not simple."

"Perhaps, he really is a Heaven-Man Realm Divine General?"

Obviously, with his strength, he had also heard the conversation between Cao Cao and Su Xuan more than ten meters away just now.

Before, he didn't dare to believe it.
