Chapter 398: Hua Xiong VS Sun Jian

Seeing Zu Mao request to fight, some players who had joined Sun Jian were immediately shocked and hurriedly ran over, shouting: "General Sun, do not let General Zu go out! That Hua Xiong is a Xiliang fierce general, his bravery is only second to Lu Bu!"

"If General Zu goes out alone, I fear he is no match!"

"Please, all of you strike with full force to suppress Hua Xiong, so that we can burn our boats and reverse the current crisis of being ambushed!"

Sun Jian did not know Hua Xiong’s power, and Zu Mao did not know, but how could these players from the real world not know Hua Xiong’s power?

In the original historical plot, wasn’t Zu Mao beheaded by Hua Xiong?

Although there was the reason of Yuan Shu causing trouble in the rear and delaying the grain supplies for Sun Jian’s troops, the bigger reason was that Hua Xiong’s strength was likely already approaching the category of a peerless general.

Even the Jiangdong Tiger, Sun Jian, who had stepped half a foot into the peerless general realm, might not be able to take down Hua Xiong if he fought personally, let alone Zu Mao, the weakest of the four Jiangdong generals.

They were, after all, generals of their own faction, and those players did not want Zu Mao to die in vain.

Unfortunately.

Zu Mao and Sun Jian would not listen!

In their eyes, players were just weak "outlanders" who were okay to follow them to mix for merit.

Wanting to point fingers at them? No way!

Ignoring the warnings of the nearby players, Sun Jian gave a look, and Zu Mao immediately patted his warhorse and charged toward Hua Xiong at high speed.

Hua Xiong naturally smiled contemptuously, not caring about Zu Mao’s momentum.

He directly raised the bone-cleaving battle blade in his hand and, with a heavy slash carrying a blade glow over ten meters long, slashed directly at the head of the incoming Zu Mao.

In a duel between generals, one move is often enough to know the depth of the opponent.

Seeing the momentum of the blade glow slashed by the opponent, Zu Mao finally knew that Hua Xiong’s power was ten times greater than Hu Zhen’s. His face became solemn, and he wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. He could only subconsciously raise the long blade in his hand to block hard.

With just one slash, the power covered on it directly numbed one of Zu Mao’s arms through the long blade.

So strong!

This made Zu Mao’s heart tremble. He didn’t think that what those outlanders said was actually true. In Dong Zhuo’s army, besides Lu Bu, there was actually such a powerful general!

However, Hua Xiong was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect that Zu Mao, a mere deputy general, could block his slash without any harm.

But it was only a slight surprise.

After the previous test, Hua Xiong also understood that Zu Mao was not his match.

He immediately slashed down again.

The first slash had already numbed Zu Mao’s arm; with another slash, Zu Mao would likely not be able to block it.

Zu Mao was not stupid either and immediately attacked actively, the long blade in his hand erupting with surging blade glow.

"Martial Skill: Whirlwind Slash!"

The surging blade glow stirred up a blade aura and swept toward Hua Xiong.

Unexpectedly, Hua Xiong was not afraid at all and even snorted coldly: "Heh, petty tricks! Watch my move!"

"Wild Slash!"

It was also a martial skill.

But the gap between the two was clear at a glance.

Hua Xiong’s Wild Slash was like a fiery comet, carrying the sound of breaking through the air, fierce and impossible to resist.

It directly and forcefully destroyed Zu Mao’s Whirlwind Slash and still carried residual power as it attacked Zu Mao.

Who was strong and who was weak was not hard to tell.

Zu Mao, who had already exhausted his full strength, could no longer resist the residual power of Hua Xiong’s blade glow and was immediately knocked out of his weapon.

Before Zu Mao could pick up his weapon, Hua Xiong seized the opportunity to kill.

He slashed out!

Boom!

Zu Mao’s entire body, along with his warhorse, was split in two.

In an instant.

The morale of Sun Jian’s side, which had just recovered, fell again.

"The Jiangdong fierce general is nothing more than this!"

Now, it was Hua Xiong’s turn to be arrogant.

"Damn it!"

"I didn’t expect this Hua Xiong to be a fierce general, just as the outlanders said!"

Just because he didn’t listen to the players’ advice earlier, he lost a great general. Sun Jian felt both ashamed and furious.

He patted his precious horse, raised the divine weapon Ancient Bloom Blade, and charged toward Hua Xiong, who was extremely arrogant after beheading Zu Mao!

"Evil thief! You actually beheaded my brother, I want you to pay with your life!"

Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao were all brothers-in-arms who had followed Sun Jian out of Jiangdong.

They were as close as brothers.

Losing any one of them was undoubtedly a major blow to Sun Jian.

Furthermore.

This tragedy could have been avoided.

If he hadn’t been arrogant, hadn’t ignored the advice of the surrounding outlanders, and hadn’t let Zu Mao fight alone, Zu Mao wouldn’t have been lost on the spot.

It could be said that Sun Jian felt he had a great responsibility for Zu Mao’s beheading.

Self-reproach combined with anger allowed Sun Jian to fully unleash his strength, which had half a foot in the peerless general realm.

He sought to behead Hua Xiong and avenge Zu Mao!

Before he even arrived.

A scorching blade glow, as if carrying Sun Jian’s endless anger, erupted from the divine weapon Ancient Bloom Blade, forming a fierce tiger that slashed toward Hua Xiong.

But!

Hua Xiong was also a top-tier general.

In terms of strength and realm, he was exactly the same as Sun Jian.

As the scorching blade glow attacked, Hua Xiong held his bone-cleaving battle blade to meet it.

He slashed out a black, wolf-like blade glow, which collided with the blade glow slashed by Sun Jian.

When the two blade glows made contact, the resulting shockwave made Hua Xiong unable to help but take two steps back, his heart shocked: "As expected of the Jiangdong Tiger, this power is definitely not below my own!"

"However... only such an opponent is worthy of having the qualifications to fight me!"

A mutter.

Hua Xiong’s fighting spirit also erupted; he fiercely patted his warhorse and headed straight toward Sun Jian.
