Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Guan Yu is fifty-five years old this year!

Xu Chu is fifty-four years old this year!

Considering that the lifespan of ancient people was generally shorter, it can be said that both Guan Yu and Xu Chu have passed the age when their military strength is at its peak.

But there is no doubt that both of them have reached a state of perfection in the use of their power and their experience in fighting -

"Guan Yu, come again, come again—"

"Guan Er is the first to insert the bid and sell the first thing——"

Without further ado, a new round of battle between Xu Chu and Guan Yu is about to begin. Xu Chu uses Cao Cao's sword Yitian, while Guan Yu returns to the Qinglong Yanyue Sword that has followed him in battles for many years.

They say that on the battlefield an inch is long and an inch is strong...

But the words were spoken on horseback;

For real fighting generals, especially when fighting on foot, it is more appropriate to use "one inch short, one inch dangerous" -

The voices of Guan Yu and Xu Chu echoed in the field, as if...the long-lost energy was violent and fluctuating again.

"Boom-"

Suddenly, there was a sound of earth shaking and mountains shaking. Xu Chu had already stepped forward. The short-handled weapon met the long-handled weapon. The first thing he had to do was to get close and attack!
Distance is something Xu Chu must fight for!
"Guan Yu, come here, let's decide not only male and female, but also life and death——"

A shadow of a sword wrapped in golden light poked out, pointing at Guan Yu, and Xu Chu's confident and firm voice came out.

"A good one can make the difference between life and death——"

Guan Yu waved his wrist and pointed the dark green Qinglong Saber at Xu Chu. Wherever the cold saw passed, the air around him vibrated...

"Let's decide the outcome, right now, wow——"

His arm shook violently, and the Yitian Sword in Xu Chu's hand pointed diagonally at the sky. Immediately, the long sword suddenly fell down with a "wuwu" sound breaking through the wind. The sword fell to the ground. Guan Yu dodged sideways, only to see... an extremely terrifying dark force. It leaked out after hitting the ground!

Suddenly, the huge boulders on the ground turned into powder under the horrified gazes of the surrounding Tiger Soldiers and Guan Jiajun...

It seems that because the "Yitian Sword" is much lighter than the "Fire Dragon Sword", Xu Chu swings it even more easily... One move after another, each sword attack is like a rainbow, and if he misses a sword, he quickly escapes from the powder on the stone steps. Draw out the Yitian Sword and slash again...

It was like a whirlwind.

Facing this majestic offensive, Xu Shu, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei, Zhou Cang, and countless other soldiers from the Guan family... each soldier's heart was tightly grasped, and his face was solemn...

As expected of a tiger idiot, worthy of Xu Chu.

In addition to having such huge strength, he is also able to achieve such continuous agility.

The eyes of Danfeng, which were opened and closed, were almost enveloped by the overwhelming golden bright sword light of Xu Chu's Yitian Sword. As the primary target, Guan Yu could naturally feel the terrifying power contained in the slashing of this sword!

However, Guan Yu also has absolute confidence.

Any offensive... in his eyes is like floating clouds, light and comfortable——

"call--"

A heavy exhale was deeply inhaled into his lungs. Facing Xu Chu's aggressive offensive, Guan Yu retreated instead of advancing. He quickly retreated and faced Xu Chu with his back...

Xu Chu would not miss such a good opportunity, nor would he let Guan Yu distance himself from him, so he immediately attacked.

But he...didn't notice that the Green Dragon Sword in Guan Yu's hand had been raised above his head, and the veins on his arms were exposed, like little squirming snakes!

Watching Xu Chu chasing Guan Yu.

All the onlookers stopped breathing at this moment, and their expressions were extremely solemn.

Under the steady gaze of countless eyes, the next moment, Guan Yu's arm trembled, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword that was originally hanging high above his head was thrown back with a bang.

It's a drag knife——

It was the "drag knife" he used when he beheaded Wen Chou and Cai Yang;
It was the drag knife that Huang Zhong had not had time to use during the battle in Changsha.

"Qinglong Xiaotian——"

"die--"

Two loud shouts suddenly sounded.

At this moment, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword seemed to have terrifying green ripples on it, striking out with a terrifying force that could break a bamboo!

The moment the blade slashed, the entire space suddenly fluctuated like when a huge boulder was thrown into the lake.

The white powder originally stirred up by the Yitian Sword's smashing of stones... quickly dispersed at this moment, as if to give in to the power penetrating the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

only…

They give in...Xu Chu will not give in.

As if he was using up all the strength of his hands, he slashed through to meet this "drag knife" plan, while shouting: "Either you die, or I die, drink up——"

In the battle arena...

The green and bright cold light occupies half of the sky, and the Yitian Sword... is bloody red, and the dark red sword light is like a crescent moon, shooting straight out...

Both of them contain extremely sharp edges. The air along the way is rippled, and the floor under your feet seems to be unable to withstand it and cracks appear...

The cracks are spreading continuously.

The terrible destructive power filled the faces of all onlookers with shock and fear...

It is really unimaginable for them that such a terrifying attack, if it were them, the slightest amount of power leaking out would probably kill them on the spot——

Shocked!

It’s too shocking!

"Guan Gong" Guan Erye versus "Tiger Fool" Xu Chu!
A fighter of this level is really deadly and bloody. It is a once-in-a-hundred-year encounter, but it is a bit more terrifying.

The expectation and anxiety in everyone's hearts.

In the fighting arena, the dark red brilliance and the green light finally collided fiercely at the next moment...

However, just as everyone covered their ears and waited for the shocking sound that was about to be resounded due to the collision of weapons.

This time the broadsword collided with the sword, but strangely no sound was made.

A series of stunned eyes slowly raised their eyes, and then they saw the green and dark red in the fighting field... which were like two masses of water of different colors eroding back and forth.

Although the confrontation was silent this time, people with sharp eyes still noticed...

At the point where the two forces came into contact, as the powder from the stone steps dissipated, two figures stood there motionless.

it's over…

Judging from the motionless figures of the two, this attack... is the final blow, the blow that is destined to succeed or fail in this peak showdown!
Otherwise, those who gain the upper hand will not remain motionless, and those who are at a disadvantage will not remain motionless either!

No one will miss such a good opportunity!
"Who...who won?"

Someone in the Guan Family Army asked tremblingly. It was not just him. At this moment... every officer in the Guan Family Army had their hearts in their throats.

On the other hand, the same is true for the Tiger and Ben Army. These burly warriors stood on tiptoes...looking at the place where the white powder dissipated...

It tugs at everyone’s heart——

In the end... who won?

"I'll go up and have a look..."

Zhou Cang was so eager to protect the Lord that he couldn't help but stepped forward, but Xu Shu stopped him with his hand.

Xu Shu said calmly, "The victory has been decided. General Zhou cannot come forward. Don't forget that Yunchang read "Spring and Autumn"..."

Yes!

The way of the Spring and Autumn Period is to follow heaven and learn from the ancients. If you gain big things, you will be a king. If you gain small things, you will be domineering.

But whether they become kings or hegemons, all countries follow the "etiquette" recognized by the world...

When fighting a war, one must start with a reputation;
It is not allowed to kill the elderly or wounded in a fight;

You cannot chase the enemy when he runs;

On which day we will fight and how many troops we will bring, we must notify them in advance and obtain consent...

Xu Shu's sentence "Guan Yu read "Spring and Autumn"..." seems to completely and thoroughly explain all Guan Yu's thoughts and actions.

And just when Xu Shu's voice fell.

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword that was already hanging low suddenly raised, and then... a blood-stained arm slowly raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword with difficulty amid the horrified gazes around him.

It’s Guan Yu…

With the Qinglong Yanyue Sword raised, the final winner is Guan Yu! As the cracked stone powder dissipated, Guan Yu's arms and armor were stained with Xu Chu's blood. He was stroking his beard with one hand and holding a knife in the other. He let the blood stain his long beard red, and allowed drops of blood to flow from his body. On the armor, it fell from the beard...

Tick ​​tock…

Tick ​​tick——

Gradually... Guan Yu's proud and erect figure with the handle of the sword facing downwards became more and more clearly revealed in front of everyone.

His lips seemed to be moving, but because of the distance, no one could hear his words clearly...

Perhaps he could hear Xu Chu, who was half-kneeling and falling in an "unyielding" posture?
Or perhaps, Guan Yu was just saying this for him.

"Guan fought against more than thirty generals in his life. Many names that Guan didn't know at the time were spread by the world - Xun Zheng, Kong Xiu, Wang Zhi, Qin Qi, Bian Xi, Han Fu, Wang Zhong, Xia Houcun, Cheng Yuanzhi , Yang Ling, Jiang Qin, Ma Zhong, Pan Zhang, Meng Tan, Che Zhou, Cai Yang, Ji Ling, Le Jin, Guan Hai, Hua Xiong, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Xiahou Dun, Pang De, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Huang Hansheng, Lu Fengxian, Zhang Yide..."

After Guan Yu recited this series of names in slow, clear words, his open and closed red phoenix eyes slowly closed, and his eyes moved to Xu Chu, who was half-kneeling unyieldingly.

Under the blowing of the dry and hot wind coming from Luoyang City, Xu Chu's body remained motionless. He was like a sculpture, and seemed to be perfectly isolated from the world, completely losing consciousness. , lost consciousness.

Guan Yu's voice rang out again, "Among these famous generals, some died at my hands, some were defeated by me, and some even tied with me. But... among these names, the most difficult opponent, the one who gave me the greatest oppression, and the one I respect the most, is the tiger-crazy Xu Chu... You are the only one! If we really talk about not caring about your life, even if Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Huang Hansheng, and Lu Fengxian were tied together, they would not be as good as you. If we talk about respectability, I still have to respect you among the thirty people I have fought in the past!"

affim…

Xu Chu fell, unexpectedly but logically, under Guan Yu's knife.

But... for some reason, he got Guan Yu's affirmation, profound affirmation.

As the words fell and Guan Yu did not speak again, the dry wind blew his long beard, and Guan Yu couldn't help but slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, Guan Yu is recalling the decisive blow...

Xu Chu had fallen for his knife-drag trick. In that situation, even if Xu Chu drew his sword again, he would not have time to block it.

But what shocked Guan Yu was...

Xu Chu never thought about blocking Guan Yu's "drag knife".

The Yitian Sword and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword were cleverly staggered. The moment the Qinglong Yanyue Sword penetrated Xu Chu's body, the Yitian Sword also penetrated deeply into Guan Yu's chest.

This is a style of play in which we will perish together and perish together.

In that flash of lightning, it was impossible for Guan Yu to react, let alone make additional dodges and blocks.

He watched helplessly as the Heavenly Sword pierced through.

However, an accident happened. Because the Qinglong Sword penetrated his chest, Xu Chu's blood spattered...all over Guan Yu's body, splattering all over his body.

At that moment, Guan Yu felt the fishy smell and stickiness of blood, but surprisingly, he never felt the sores or pain on his body.

Look carefully...

It turned out that... the Yitian Sword touched his armor and penetrated beyond the elbow, without injuring Guan Yu's body at all.

——"Is it lucky?" 』

——"No, Xu Chu...such a battle-hardened and brave warrior? How could he miss this shot? 』

It was also that moment...

Guan Yu hadn't come to his senses yet, but he could clearly hear Xu Chu's forced groan after being stabbed.

"My mission has been accomplished!"

"I...I learn from my great king, we don't kill righteous men——"

original…

Because the Fire Dragon Sword had just been chopped into pieces by Guan Yu's sword, Guan Yu did not take Xu Chu's life, but asked him to go back and change the sword...

This "righteousness" is Guan Yu's consistent style, and it is the "righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period". It is the deep-rooted influence that he has read "Spring and Autumn" for so many years...

However, it was this one that made Xu Chu secretly determined.

What Xu Chu wanted to do has been completed!

But Guan Yunchang and King Cao Cao were not willing to kill such a righteous man? How could he, Xu Chu, go against the king's will and perish together with his own will?
these years…

Xu Chu followed Cao Cao and learned a lot about Cao Cao's temperament and habits.

He once asked Cao Cao, if our Wei Dynasty captures Guan Yunchang one day, what will the king do with him?
This is a very casual question...

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was extremely angry at Xu Chu, "Zhong Kang? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Yun Chang, he is Gu's Shouting Hou of the Han Dynasty. How could he be captured by Gu? Even if he does come to Gu's body, he is definitely not defeated and captured. He just wants to return home——"

At that time, Xu Chu could not understand why Cao Cao had such a deep "love" for Guan Yu.

But just now, at the moment when his fire dragon knife shattered, Xu Chu understood!

The king was reluctant to kill such a righteous and upright man, and he, Xu Chu, was reluctant to kill him... This was a heartfelt reluctance, a reluctance caused by being impressed by Guan Yu's charm!
It is precisely because of this...

The moment Guan Yu's Green Dragon Sword penetrated Xu Chu, Xu Chu's Yitian Sword just rubbed his armor and passed by. He could only smell the blood of his Tiger Marquis, but it did not hurt Yun Chang at all!

Ha ha…

If there is no tiger lord in the world, it is just a loss of courage!
But if Guan Yu died, who would pick up the "Spring and Autumn Annals" again, and who could be the role model and example for this world?
"Guan...Guan Yu, you won this battle...I...I..."

"...I'm willing to give in—"

With such a sound, Xu Chu fell to the ground, but he did not fall completely. He knelt on one knee, as if he had turned into a stone statue and half-knelt here with his reluctance and unyielding spirit towards King Cao Cao and the Wei Dynasty.

And the direction where he knelt down on one knee... was northwest!
It is the direction of Wei Dynasty——

(Farewell to the Tiger Marquis——)
...

...

——Zang Ba!
At the foot of Beimang Mountain, when the name was mentioned, Guan Xing's hand that was about to light the gunpowder suddenly stopped.

Because of his fourth brother Guan Lin, because of the parrot, and because he was behind enemy lines.

Guan Xing is one of the few who knows which are enemies and which are friends!
For example, Li Miao, or...this Zang Ba.

During the conversation between Guan Xing and Ling Ju, he learned that Zang Ba and his fourth brother had an agreement. As long as the fourth brother took away the emperor, then... Zang Ba, his Taishan Army, and the garrison in Nanyang, All will surrender to the fourth brother.

At that time... Guan Xing still didn't believe it and thought the agreement was a bit too childish.

But... when Lingju talked about his relationship with Zang Ba everywhere, the development of Parrot over the years, the tolerance and perseverance of his uncle Zang Ba over the years, and the true "Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry" and "Wen Wen" of each Taishan soldier. The identity of "Hou's subordinate" was revealed.

Guan Xing understood, also knew and understood Zang Ba.

Of course, it was precisely based on this that when he heard Xiahou Zijiang's voice and learned that Zang Ba and the Taishan Army had arrived at the foot of Beimang Mountain, he deliberately stopped.

——Just wait and see what happens.

"tread"

Heavy footsteps came from far to near, as if Zang Ba and Taishan Army had walked in.

While Xiahou Zijiang led Zang Ba to see his father, he asked: "General Zang came from the east of the city? Then... what is the situation in Luoyang City now?"

"It's very bad..." Zang Ba's tone was a little indifferent, and he said slowly: "The whole city of Luoyang is on fire. No one knows the situation of the King and His Majesty... And Jingzhou's soldiers and horses have broken through Dongling Pass. They are heading towards Luoyang... What is even more terrifying is that Guan Yu and his Guan family army may have arrived here on flying balls..."

Following Zang Ba's words, Xiahou Zijiang couldn't help but look solemn.

They went to Beimang Mountain to rescue the Prince Consort. Naturally... they didn't have such a clear understanding of the current situation. Now... hearing Zang Ba say this... they couldn't help but become nervous, not only because of the tense situation, but also for the big brother who came to the city in advance to rescue. nervous.

"Oh…"

As if he noticed that he had lost his etiquette due to nervousness, Xiahou Zijiang quickly stretched out his hand and signaled: "General Zang, come with me...father is over here!"

Having said that, he took the lead...

Guan Xing naturally heard all these conversations, and Xiahou Dun also heard them. After patting Ma Jun on the back to express his comfort, he was about to step out of the carriage.

But at this moment...a strong wind blew suddenly, blowing out the torches one by one. The deep night seemed to suddenly press down hard, and the entire legion was covered in large swaths of darkness.

The sudden change came from this darkness, as fast as a shadowless whirlwind. Even the victim himself did not see clearly when the deadly cold light flashed and where it quietly returned.
"what--"

Following the wailing sounds, the human body fell heavily, and the blood suddenly became cold in such a night. The weak screams began to be covered by the continuous chopping sound and the sound of spears and swords.

"what--"

One of the thick sounds came from the mouth of the Xiahouzi River, which was leading the way. There was only one sound. It seemed that after this sound, everything fell into nothingness and everything was silent——
