Chapter 237: Chapter 236
"Thud!"
Zhao Yun thrust his spear forward, claiming yet another life.
He had lost count of how many of Cao Cao's soldiers he had killed.
Corpses surrounded him, and blood flowed like a river.
For a moment, the Cao army was struck with fear, and no one dared to advance.
This gave Zhao Yun a brief respite.
"Waah waah..."
Suddenly, the cry of a baby echoed from behind him.
This infant was none other than Liu Shan, the future "unworthy" son of Liu Bei.
As for whether Liu Shan's biological father was really Liu Bei...
Well, Zhao Yun believed it was!
"Little Lord, don't worry. Today, I, Yun, will surely break through the encirclement with you!" Zhao Yun declared.
It sounded like he was speaking to the baby, but it was more like he was encouraging himself.
Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind him:
"General Zilong, you might want to give up on trying to break through. My lord values you highly. How about you surrender now and save me the trouble of fighting you?"
Zhao Yun immediately turned around to see a young officer wielding a broadsword standing calmly behind him.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun snorted coldly, saying nothing as he thrust his spear forward.
"Whoosh!"
The air whistled as the spear cut through it.
This thrust was aimed directly at the young officer's heart.
Zhao Yun believed that this young officer, who appeared to be quite young, couldn't be that strong.
So he didn't put too much effort into the attack, using only about thirty percent of his strength.
But soon, Zhao Yun realized how wrong he was!
Bang!
The spearhead was unexpectedly caught by the young officer with his bare hand.
"General Zilong, are you tired? Why do you seem so weak?" the young officer asked with a smile.
Zhao Yun was shocked.
He was confident in his speed, and none of the opponents he had faced were faster than him.
Yet!
His spear had been caught barehanded by this man.
What did this mean?
It meant that this person was even faster than him!!
"Let go!" Zhao Yun shouted, shaking the spear violently.
He thought the officer would lose his grip and let go, but the spearhead didn't budge...
"It seems, General Zilong, that you truly are tired. Why don't you come with me to see my lord, take a rest, and then we can spar again?" Chen Ye said calmly, a slight smile on his face.
Zhao Yun was strikingly handsome, with an appearance that could make any man envious.
Typically, when a man sees someone more handsome than himself, there's usually no goodwill.
But Chen Ye couldn't bring himself to dislike Zhao Yun.
Anyone familiar with the Three Kingdoms knows that the name "Zhao Zilong of Changshan" represents unmatched bravery and unwavering loyalty!
Such a noble and honest man was impossible to despise.
If not for being on the battlefield, Chen Ye would have wanted to share a few drinks with Zhao Yun.
Of course.
They were on opposing sides now, and enemies.
While Chen Ye respected Zhao Yun, he wasn't going to let him go just because of that.
Today!
This "dragon" was his to capture!
The next moment.
Chen Ye suddenly released his right hand from the broadsword, forming a fist, and struck the spear shaft.
"Boom!"
The air around them exploded with the impact!!
Many in the vicinity heard the sonic boom.
When Chen Ye's fist connected with the spear shaft, Zhao Yun felt an overwhelming force surging through the spear...
Zhao Yun's expression changed dramatically, and he immediately let go of the spear.
Otherwise, he could have been seriously injured by the shock...
"Crack!"
Zhao Yun's metal spear shaft was bent by Chen Ye's punch!
It's important to know that Zhao Yun's spear was no ordinary weapon; it was the famous Dragon Gallant Silver Spear!
The spear's shaft and tip were made entirely of metal, incredibly sturdy.
Yet now, it had been bent by Chen Ye's punch...
Such sheer power was astounding!
Zhao Yun was horrified. Without a word, he spurred his horse to flee.
That guy was a monster!!
With the young lord in his care, he had to get him out of danger; there was no time to stay and fight.
The horse ran swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a hundred meters away.
Without his silver spear, Zhao Yun drew his sword, continuing to cut down anyone in his path—none could stop him!
"General Zilong, why don't you stay and have a meal before you go?"
The voice of that "monster" called out from behind.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but glance back, and what he saw nearly made him fall off his horse...
Chen Ye was running on foot and was actually catching up with Zhao Yun's horse!
Zhao Yun's horse, pure white with not a single flaw, was clearly a rare and exceptional steed.
This horse, named Night-Shining Jade Lion, could run a thousand miles in a day, extraordinarily fast, a top-grade horse from the Western Region's Dawan Kingdom.
· ·········
Even ordinary horses wouldn't be able to keep up with the Night-Shining Jade Lion!
Yet now, a human was using two legs to catch up with his Night-Shining Jade Lion...
Had Zhao Yun not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed such a thing was possible!!
Not only Zhao Yun, but the watching generals were all equally shocked.
With each stride, Chen Ye left small craters in the ground, his momentum carrying him a full ten feet with each step, practically flying!
He was nothing short of a human-shaped monster!!
In truth.
Given Chen Ye's explosive power and agility, his full-speed sprint wasn't much slower than a car on the highway!
The next moment.
Zhao Yun suddenly felt a burst of wind behind him.
His sharp instincts warned him of impending danger, and Zhao Yun immediately clutched Liu Shan, rolling off the horse and landing on the ground.
... 0 0
"Neigh~~"
The Night-Shining Jade Lion suddenly let out a pained cry and crashed heavily to the ground.
Zhao Yun looked back and saw his Night-Shining Jade Lion's head had been smashed by that "monster's" kick...
Had he not reacted quickly and rolled off, that kick would have landed on his back!!
Thinking about it, Zhao Yun felt both terrified and deeply saddened.
He had never expected that among Cao Cao's forces, there was someone so terrifying...
No!
This person was beyond human!
Such speed and strength far exceeded human capabilities...
Zhao Yun knew that today, he might not escape.
Poor Night-Shining Jade Lion had died just like that.
And as for the young lord...
What fate awaited him in Cao Cao's hands?
How heartbroken would the lord be?
As Zhao Yun's thoughts spiraled into sorrow, the voice of that "monster" reached his ears:
"Apologies, General Zilong. I accidentally killed your horse!"
Chen Ye spoke as he approached Zhao Yun, his tone indifferent. "General Zilong, with me here, you won't be able to escape. I advise you to surrender and avoid unnecessary suffering."
Zhao Yun looked up at Chen Ye and couldn't help but ask, "May I ask for the name of the general who defeated me?"
He wanted to know exactly who he had lost to.
It was said that Lu Bu, back in the day, was unrivaled in combat.
How would he compare to the person before him?
