Chapter 461: Gongsun Zan

At this time, beside Gongsun Zan, there were only ten thousand White Horse Volunteers and Yan Gang, Guan Jing, and others left.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter..."

Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came.

Only to see the person in the lead wearing black armor, with a long beard under his chin, holding a long blade in his hand, and on the blade, a ferocious-looking green dragon was coiled.

Beside him followed a young scholar with a lazy posture.

These two were the Qinglong Legion commander, Guan Yu, and the military advisor, Guo Jia.

And behind these two followed Youzhou Inspector Shen Pei and defender Yan Rou.

"Gongsun Zan, will you dismount and surrender, or will you resist to the end?"

At this time, Guan Yu arrived before the two armies, looked at Gongsun Zan, who had long since lost his original high spirits, and asked majestically.

"Hahaha, such is Heaven's will!"

"This battle is not a crime of war!"

Gongsun Zan did not respond to Guan Yu, but sighed to the sky.

Subsequently, he stared at Guan Yu and asked seriously:

"Can you tell me how you appeared behind my army?"

"Logically speaking, it would be good enough if you could reach the Youzhou border by now!"

Following Gongsun Zan's words, the people beside Gongsun Zan also looked at Guan Yu with curiosity.

They were also curious how Guan Yu and the others appeared behind them.

Facing the questions of Gongsun Zan and the others, Guan Yu and the others looked at each other and could not help but laugh.

"Hehe, our strength is something you will never be able to imagine."

"Everything that is unreasonable in your eyes is reasonable to us!"

At this time, Guo Jia looked at Gongsun Zan and the others and said slowly.

"Gongsun Zan, make your choice!"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Guan Yu immediately said impatiently to Gongsun Zan.

"Hmph, it has reached this point; whether I surrender or not, the outcome is the same for me."

"I have dominated Liaoxi for nearly ten years; if I am to die, I must have a decent way to die!"

"Guan Yu, as the commander of the Qinglong Legion, do you dare to fight me?"

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Gongsun Zan said to Guan Yu with an arrogant face.

"Hmph, you are not worthy of fighting my Second Brother; I will send you on your way!"

Before Guan Yu could reply, Zhang Fei on the side said with disdain.

"Hmph, you are not worthy of fighting My Lord either; let me try your prowess!"

Seeing this, Yan Gang, who was protecting Gongsun Zan, was furious after hearing Zhang Fei's words.

"Hmph, afraid of you?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fei also did not show weakness.

Subsequently, everyone retreated, leaving space for the two to fight.

"Black charcoal head, watch how your Grandpa Yan Gang beheads you!"

After the two were ready, Yan Gang shouted loudly at Zhang Fei and launched the attack first.

"Hmph, ignorant thing!"

Seeing Yan Gang so arrogant, Zhang Fei sneered.

Subsequently, he mobilized the internal energy in his dantian and also killed toward Yan Gang.

"Die!"

Watching Zhang Fei charge toward him, Yan Gang shouted loudly and slashed at Zhang Fei with his blade.

Facing Yan Gang's full-force strike, Zhang Fei calmly raised the long spear in his hand to block.

"Ding"

After blocking Yan Gang's long blade with one strike, Zhang Fei quickly thrust the long spear in his hand straight at Yan Gang's chest.

"Pfft!"

Before Yan Gang could react, his chest was pierced through by Zhang Fei's spear.

"You..."

"Pfft!"

"Bang!"

Yan Gang pointed at Zhang Fei with trembling hands, still wanting to say something, but saw Zhang Fei pull out the long spear.

And Yan Gang's body also fell off the horse, twitched twice, and then had no more movement.

"Pah, with this bit of strength, you dare to be so arrogant!"

Zhang Fei looked at Yan Gang's lifeless corpse and said with mockery.

"This..."

"How is this possible, General Yan Gang is actually not a match for this Zhang Fei in one round!"

At this time, everyone surrounding Gongsun Zan was shocked.

They were clearly aware of Yan Gang's strength.

He was the only first-rate martial general among them besides Gongsun Zan.

Since when did first-rate martial generals become so weak!

"General Yan!"

At this time, the White Horse Volunteers behind Gongsun Zan, seeing their commander Yan Gang die, all shouted with sorrowful expressions.

"Gongsun Zan, it's your turn!"

Just when they were in disbelief, Zhang Fei pointed his long spear at Gongsun Zan and said proudly.

At this time, Gongsun Zan, after hearing Zhang Fei's words, did not pay attention to Zhang Fei.

Instead, he turned around and looked at the remaining ten thousand White Horse Volunteers.

A complex look appeared in his eyes, and he said to them:

"Soldiers, I, Gongsun Zan, thank you for your support of me all these years."

"Later, if I die in battle, you should surrender to the imperial court!"

"I, Gongsun Zan, will bear all the blame alone; you are all innocent!"

"I believe General Guan will accept you!"

"My Lord..."

The ten thousand White Horse Volunteers all lowered their heads and shouted with grief to Gongsun Zan.

After Gongsun Zan finished speaking, he looked at Guan Yu with anticipation.

He knew that he had to die.

However, these White Horse Volunteers were innocent; they should not have to die in vain with him like this.

Seeing Gongsun Zan's expectant gaze, Guan Yu also nodded with a solemn expression.

He replied to Gongsun Zan with a serious face:

"I can guarantee that as long as they surrender, I will request His Majesty to spare them!"

After obtaining Guan Yu's guarantee, Gongsun Zan nodded with relief.

Subsequently, he rode his warhorse into the field.

After sizing up Zhang Fei, Gongsun Zan said in a deep voice:

"I know you didn't use your full strength just now!"

"Show me your true strength, and let me feel just how strong your real strength is!"

Seeing this, Zhang Fei also replied to him solemnly:

"Good, I will show my true strength!"

Gongsun Zan nodded in satisfaction, patted his warhorse, and killed toward Zhang Fei.

"Kill!"

Seeing Gongsun Zan charge, Zhang Fei also patted his warhorse.

Mobilizing his full Postnatal Fourth Layer strength, he killed toward Gongsun Zan.

"Ding!"

"Pfft~"

"Bang!"

Gongsun Zan's long blade, upon touching Zhang Fei's Yellow Grade Ultimate Armor-Piercing Snake Spear, snapped in response.

And Gongsun Zan's whole person was sent flying, crashing fiercely onto the ground ten meters away.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Hahaha, so this is your true strength!"

"My strength as a first-rate martial general actually couldn't even block one round!"

"I don't regret losing!"

Only to see Gongsun Zan lying on the ground, looking at Zhang Fei and laughing madly a few times.

Subsequently, a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"I... I... regret... it..."

Just at this moment, Gongsun Zan suddenly coughed madly.

A large amount of blood flowed from his mouth.

After speaking intermittently, there was no more movement. ===== CHAPTER 462 =====
