Chapter 279: Sweeping Them All Up

Boom!

Outside Donghai City, on a main road, a shocking battle was unfolding.

"Yuan Benchu, I didn't expect you to really persuade so many people to come."

Facing the siege of dozens of experts, Su Fan, who was in the center, did not show the slightest panic on his face; instead, he revealed a faint smile.

"Hmph! Little brat of the Gao clan, today you have no wings to fly."

Yuan Shao looked at Su Fan, killing intent appearing on his face, and said viciously.

"Is that so? Just relying on you losers?"

"Tsk tsk! General Lv, General Guan, and General Zhang, you are indeed peerless fierce generals on the battlefield. I didn't expect that you would one day join forces; it is truly rare."

Su Fan's words made Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's faces instantly show a bit of unnaturalness, although it quickly faded, it was still discovered by Su Fan, and he laughed inwardly.

He understood that the two were originally upright people. Zhang Fei liked Lv Bu the least, and his personality was straightforward. In his view, fighting for the world was a matter for the battlefield.

Now letting them join forces to ambush Su Fan, he was quite unwilling.

Guan Yu was incomparably arrogant, so he liked such underhanded methods even less.

But they could not refuse their eldest brother's meaning, because both were very clear about how powerful Su Fan was.

Over these years, they had been fighting with Taishi Ci and the others, yet they had never had any chance of winning.

Having fought battles all their lives, facing the Xuzhou forces, they were the most aggrieved.

Even though both were peerless fierce generals, facing other armies, they could rely on their peerless combat power to break through the opponent's formation and disrupt the opponent's battle array, but facing Xuzhou's army, they had never succeeded once.

Not only because Xuzhou also had peerless fierce generals, but also because Xuzhou's army was extremely elite.

They knew that they were only facing a side force of Xuzhou and had already fallen into a disadvantage. Once Xuzhou's entire army attacked, let alone their eldest brother, even adding Liu Biao would not be able to block them for many days.

They knew their eldest brother's ambition, and over these years, the three had been working hard toward this goal.

Over in Jingzhou, they had heard a lot of news; the voices of resistance were getting weaker and weaker, and many aristocratic families had secretly decided to defect to Xuzhou.

Even fearing Liu Biao and Liu Bei's army.

Otherwise, they likely would have opened the gates of Xiangyang long ago to welcome the Xuzhou army into the city.

This situation showed that their eldest brother had also entered the most dangerous time. Once Jingzhou was broken, even if they fled again, where could they flee to?

It was precisely because of this that the two brothers finally had to agree to join forces with Lv Bu, Yuan Shao, and the others.

But now, being ridiculed by Su Fan on the spot, the two were angry and also ashamed.

"Little brat of the Gao clan, at death's door, you are still so arrogant."

Yuan Shao looked at the calm Su Fan, becoming even more furious.

"General Lv, please behead this rebel and bring his head back to Luoyang City. His Majesty will inevitably be overjoyed, and no one will stop you from taking the position of General of the Left."

Yuan Shao's eyes looked at Lv Bu.

"Good!"

Lv Bu, hearing this, nodded, then looked at Su Fan, killing intent erupting in his eyes, and his Gang Qi also exploded.

The Red Hare horse he was riding also neighed accordingly.

"Die!"

With a sharp shout, Lv Bu spurred his horse forward, killing toward Su Fan, who was protected by personal guards.

"Presumptuous! Don't you dare harm my Lord!"

Just as Lv Bu was killing toward the personal guards, at this moment, a sturdy man suddenly jumped out from among the personal guards, holding short double halberds, and roared toward the sky.

This roar, like a lion's, shook the Red Hare horse, slowing its impact speed.

Clang!

In close-quarters combat, the weapons of the two collided, and in an instant, it was like fire hitting the earth; a violent explosion of Gang Qi erupted between the weapons, crazily raging in all directions.

Neigh!

The Red Hare neighed in pain.

"What great strength!"

As the air waves and smoke dissipated, Lv Bu, sitting on the Red Hare, looked at Dian Wei, who had retreated three steps, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

He had not expected that by Su Fan's side, there would be such an expert who could actually take his move and remain unscathed.

Such strength was comparable to that ring-eyed thief.

He couldn't help but look back at Zhang Fei; he felt that this person was very similar to that ring-eyed thief, both having the same powerful physical strength.

In terms of strength, he was even above him.

Especially the way the other party blocked this strike on foot was even more terrifying than that ring-eyed thief back then.

So Lv Bu's eyes also became solemn.

The Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand also moved quickly. For a time, Gang Qi whistled, and bursts of Gang Qi tore through space, and the martial arts phantom behind him also became brighter and brighter.

Knowing the other party's strength, Lv Bu did not hold back anymore and directly unleashed his strongest combat power.

Dian Wei naturally also went all out. His own cultivation was not as good as Lv Bu's, but with his superb physical talent, facing Lv Bu, he did not fall into a disadvantage at all.

Within dozens of moves, he actually fought Lv Bu to a draw.

The great battle between the two caused the surrounding hundred zhang to suffer instantly; the collision of their Gang Qi triggered a clamor of vital energy, which could even cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.

"Little brat of the Gao clan, I didn't expect that by your side, besides that Xu Chu, there would be such fierce generals guarding you. But today, even if you have others, don't think about escaping."

Yuan Shao looked at Dian Wei, who was fighting Lv Bu, and his heart was filled with resentment. He didn't expect where Su Fan had recruited so many peerless fierce generals.

Taishi Ci, Chen Dao, and Zhao Yun were Divine Treasury combat powers, while Xu Chu and Huang Zhong were even great experts at the ninth level of Gang Refining.

And he, as a disciple of the Yuan clan, had Yan Liang and Wen Chou by his side, who had only barely reached the peak of the seventh level of Gang Refining.

Compared to the fierce generals under Su Fan's command, they were still a bit inferior, and they couldn't even compare to the two brothers by the side of the big-eared thief.

This made him, who had always been arrogant, very unhappy.

"Haha! Yuan Benchu, you are still so naive. Did you think that after I was assassinated twice, I wouldn't make any preparations?"

"Lv Fengxian suddenly disappearing from Chenliu, the changes in Liu Xuande's army in Nanjun—did you think I knew nothing?"

"Hehe!"

"General Hansheng, you all come out too. This will be the final battleground for you and Lv Fengxian."

Following Su Fan's words, soon, on the main road, a roar like a flood sounded from afar.

Gradually, in the distance, yellow sand filled the sky.

As if an endless cavalry suddenly galloped from afar.

The leading generals and commanders even galloped over.

"You..."

Yuan Shao naturally recognized those leading generals: Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Chen Dao, and Sun Ce—these five fierce generals above the eighth level of Gang Refining arrived, instantly causing Yuan Shao's heart to shake, followed by panic.

His heart felt cold involuntarily.

"Yuan Benchu, did you think you had me cornered? How could it not be that I was waiting for you, to sweep you all up in one net?" ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
