Chapter 1079: An expression of disbelief

Yuan Shao gripped the scimitar in his hand again and rushed toward Gu Yi. A ferocious expression appeared on his face, and thick murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Yuan Shao's speed was fast, and in an instant, he reached Gu Yi. The scimitar in his hand carried a sharp, cold glint as it swept toward Gu Yi's neck.

Gu Yi's pupils contracted, and his complexion turned deathly pale.

At this moment, a pebble flew toward Gu Yi, accurately smashing into Yuan Shao's scimitar.

"Clang!"

The scimitar fell away, and Yuan Shao's body was sent flying backward, falling heavily to the ground.

The moment Yuan Shao fell to the ground, he spat out blood. He struggled to lift his head, his gaze looking toward the distance.

Yuan Shao looked at Gu Yi standing in the distance, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face. He looked at Gu Yi, his eyes filled with shock.

"Gu Yi, you actually didn't die?" Yuan Shao said in surprise.

"Hehe." Gu Yi sneered, a cold expression hanging on his face. He clenched his fists, and a look of anger appeared in his eyes.

"I said, my life is mine to take!" A thick murderous intent flashed in Gu Yi's eyes. His body lunged toward Yuan Shao, and the long spear in his hand stabbed fiercely into Yuan Shao's abdomen.

"Ah!"

Yuan Shao screamed in pain. He used all his strength to try and push Gu Yi away, but his body was firmly pinned in place by Gu Yi; he could not move a single bit.

Blood flowed from Yuan Shao's body, staining his clothes red.

"Gu Yi, let me go, you bastard, what you are doing is against the law!" Yuan Shao roared, his face full of resentment.

He had never expected that Gu Yi would not die, and even less had he expected that he would die at Gu Yi's hands. He, a dignified lord, would actually be defeated by Gu Yi.

"Hahaha..." A look of madness appeared in Gu Yi's eyes; he stared at Yuan Shao's face, and a thick, resentful look flashed in his eyes.

"If you are unrighteous, don't blame me for being unrighteous. Yuan Shao, go to hell." Gu Yi roared.

"Bang!"

Yuan Shao's body was kicked by Gu Yi again, and his torso fell straight to the ground. Blood flowed from Yuan Shao's chest, staining the ground red.

Yuan Shao widened his eyes, terror appearing in them. He looked at Gu Yi, his heart full of unwillingness; he had never imagined that Gu Yi would break through his defense and kill him directly.

Gu Yi looked at Yuan Shao lying on the ground, and his mouth curled, revealing a triumphant smile. He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Shao looked helplessly at Gu Yi lying on the ground, his brows furrowed tightly, his heart filled with helplessness and indignation. He understood that he was powerless to resist and could only choose to retreat.

He stood up slowly, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes. He was an iron-blooded general who had once commanded numerous soldiers, but now he had been suppressed by Gu Yi, his former subordinate. Yuan Shao felt that he had lost all face and could not help but regret his recklessness and contempt.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. He knew that now was not the time for self-deprecation; he still had remaining troops and resources he could utilize. As long as he retreated to regroup and replan, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.

He ordered the horns to be blown, conveying the order to retreat. The soldiers prepared to depart one after another, retreating in an orderly fashion. Yuan Shao commanded personally, arranging the route for the troops to ensure the retreat proceeded smoothly.

Although his heart was filled with loss and regret, Yuan Shao remained calm and thoughtful. He understood that the current situation was unfavorable to him; Gu Yi's strength and courage far exceeded his expectations.

He needed to reassess the situation, adjust his strategy, and strive to turn the tide of defeat.

Yuan Shao led the retreating troops, gradually moving further away, his eyes revealing a firm determination.

When Gu Yi killed Yuan Shao, he immediately left the battlefield and avoided pursuit. He did not dare to linger in the Yuan army camp; after all, Yuan Shao's status was special.

The news of Yuan Shao's death quickly spread to every city.

Yuan Shao's army was completely wiped out, and Gu Yi's name spread thoroughly throughout this era.

"Gu Yi is truly powerful!"

"Gu Yi really did not disappoint."

"Gu Yi is a genius of the heavens; I really want to see Gu Yi's true face."

"Worthy of being Gu Yi; this ruthlessness and courage are truly admirable."

Outside the military camp, people kept gathering, discussing animatedly.

Gu Yi heard the discussions of these people, and a triumphant look appeared on his face. Gu Yi thought to himself: "This is the effect I wanted; my goal is to let everyone know that I, Gu Yi, am the most powerful man!"

A proud light flickered in Gu Yi's eyes, and his heart was filled with self-pride.

A triumphant look appeared on Gu Yi's face, his mouth curled, and his eyes were filled with pride.

Gu Yi stood at the gate of the military camp, looking at those discussions, and satisfaction welled up in his heart.

"You all know how powerful I am, so I won't explain anything." Gu Yi sneered, his heart feeling very proud.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei learned that Gu Yi had successfully defeated Yuan Shao and immediately decided to celebrate. They were filled with admiration and respect for Gu Yi, deeply impressed by his courage and strength.

Guan Yu was a tall and fierce general, wearing the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and carrying the praise of the world on his back. A trace of joy leaked from between his firm brows, and his respect for Gu Yi grew even deeper. Guan Yu said with great spirit: "My lord is truly heroic and fearless; his brave deeds make me admire him immensely. We must go find him and celebrate his victory."

Zhang Fei was a burly and powerful general; he held a snake-headed spear and sported a thick, black beard. He stomped his feet excitedly and shouted: "That's right! Gu Yi is our lord; his battle record is jaw-dropping. We cannot miss this opportunity to go and celebrate his victory with him!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei quickly prepared to depart, deciding to personally go to where Gu Yi was. They rode their thousand-mile horses, galloping forward quickly and steadily. On the road, their moods were pleasant, and laughter rose one after another.

Finally, they arrived in front of Gu Yi's tent. Seeing the arrival of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Gu Yi could not help but reveal a joyful smile. He stepped forward, shaking hands tightly with the two generals, feeling their deep brotherly bond.

"Brothers, you have come, this is truly great! Yuan Shao's defeat could not have happened without your support and help. Let us celebrate today's joy together!" Gu Yi said.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Gu Yi's smile and also felt his excitement and pride. They patted each other on the shoulders, walked into the tent together, and began the celebratory feast. ===== CHAPTER 1080 =====
