Chapter 43: Wang Lei Battles Liu Bei

  Dian Wei defeated Guan Yu and took advantage of his momentum, once again wielding his iron halberd to kill his way out.

  "Come and die!"

  With a fierce roar, the iron pike came crashing down. Guan Yu didn't dodge, his steel teeth clenched, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand met it head-on once again. As they clashed for the second time, Dian Wei's momentum suddenly surged, becoming even more ferocious, while Guan Yu retreated three steps, his hands holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade trembling slightly, his chest heaving constantly, and a sickly flush rising to his crimson face.

  He fell back with a long knife, and Dian Wei's mouth curled up in a cold smile.

  How much is the knife?

  He stepped forward in pursuit, and the iron spear struck down fiercely, leaving Guan Yu no room to deploy his Dragging Sword technique, forcing him to engage in a frontal assault.

  Dian Wei fought more bravely as the battle went on, swinging his iron pike and cutting down anyone in his path.

  This move is unmatched in the world, it's a killing move. Guan Yu had no power to resist, and he could only retreat continuously with a sigh in his heart, but Dian Wei followed closely behind him, putting great pressure on Guan Yu.

  "My life is at an end!"

  Guan Yu could not escape and sighed deeply in his heart.

  "Clang!!!!!"

  A loud clanging sound of metal striking metal rang out beside Guan Yu's ear.

  "Third brother!"

  Guan Yu let out a soft cry, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

  At the critical moment, Zhang Fei rode in on his horse, his 18-foot snake spear sweeping through the air to block Dian Wei's iron pike. Zhang Fei single-handedly fought against Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, although he couldn't kill them, but managed to fight them to a standstill, making it difficult for them to counterattack. Seeing Guan Yu in danger, he shook off the Xiahou brothers with one blow, rode his black horse towards Dian Wei. Zhang Fei's copper bell-like eyes stared at Dian Wei, his head held high, his spear pointing straight at Dian Wei, shouting loudly: "Zhang Fei is here! If you want to kill my second brother, first get past me!"

  Dian Wei's iron halberd was held horizontally in front of his chest, and he felt a strong sense of pressure.

  The black-faced man in front of him was even more powerful. Especially at the moment when the iron halberd and snake spear collided, Dian Wei felt that his opponent's strength was no weaker than his own, also belonging to the innate divine power. Dian Wei's will to fight was strong, and he smiled as he replied: "Earlier, a red-faced bandit came, you're a black-faced bandit, and there's another big-eared bandit. You three are really interesting. Unfortunately, being heroes, you have to become bandits."

  "You're the thief, your whole family are thieves. Grandfather Zhang is a hero for his entire life, how could he be a thief?"

  Zhang Fei's eyes widened in anger, his mustache puffed out as he glared.

  Dian Wei's eloquence was not good, but he was not afraid of Zhang Fei. With a clear conscience and dignity, he said: "If you are not bandits, why do you intercept the official horses? Once a bandit, always a bandit, your whole family is bandits."

  This remark, however, enraged Zhang Fei.

  Zhang Fei thrust out his snake-shaped spear and shouted: "Go die!"

  Clang!

  Dian Wei wielded his halberd and charged forward, shouting: "You're getting angry now, huh? A thief is a thief, and you'll never change your ways!"

  "Wow, you're really taking advantage of me, look at the spear."

  Zhang Fei flew into a rage and engaged in combat with Tian Feng.

  When Dian Wei and Zhang Fei were fighting, Wang Lie approached Liu Bei with his black gold spear. He roughly glanced at Liu Bei, seeing that even when killing, Liu Bei's face seemed to have a smile on it, and his complexion was like jade, giving off an air of a humble gentleman. However, this person was now his enemy, so Wang Lie took a deep breath and roared: "Liu Bei, you killed the official soldiers, your crime is unforgivable, take this!"

  A black and gold snake spear flashed horizontally through the air, its momentum fierce and menacing.

  Liu Bei's eyes were heavy with concentration, his twin swords crossed in a defensive stance, and with a loud clang, he parried the attack.

  A huge power surged forth, Liu Bei's hands trembled and his face changed greatly.

  Awesome! Too awesome!

  His opponent's strength far exceeded his, and it was not something he could withstand. Liu Bei knew the difference between himself and his opponent with just one move, and he did not linger, leading his horse to avoid Wang Wei, and also ordered his soldiers to hold back Wang Wei, giving him a chance to escape.

  Wang Lei raised an eyebrow and thought to himself: This Liu Bei is a coward, he's already stayed behind.

  Black gold snake spear continuously probed out, the spearhead passed by, bringing out a burst of fresh blood. Even if he killed the soldiers under Liu Bei's command, Liu Bei had already escaped and did not give Wang Piao the opportunity to fight him.

  The fierce tiger camp followed Wang Lei's attack, with a majestic momentum, as fierce as a tiger and leopard.

  The situation on the battlefield has turned in favor of Wang Lei.

  Xiahou Dun saw that the situation was not good, but he did not want to withdraw immediately. He rolled his eyes and shouted: "Everyone listen to the order, help the government soldiers kill the enemy, and execute the horse thieves who robbed the war horses." He was cunning, and with one sentence, he shook off his own identity as a horse thief who robbed war horses, and let his guards help Wang Lei and the soldiers of Xinshi County kill the enemy.

  In this way, they were spared from being attacked by Wang Ley and the soldiers of Xinshi County.

  Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan turned around again, killing towards Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. As a result, the situation became Zhang Fei and Guan Yu facing Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Dian Wei. Zhang Fei and Dian Wei were evenly matched, but Guan Yu was injured and unable to withstand Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun's attacks. At this time, Liu Bei also couldn't withstand Wang Lei's attack. He was a decisive person, seeing the situation was not good, he made a prompt decision, rode his horse to near Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and shouted loudly: "Second brother, third brother, the enemy is fierce, retreat!"

  A loud shout was heard and Liu Bei led his troops in retreat.

  Guan Yu was wounded by Yan Ping, but still had the strength to fight again. With all his might, he used one knife to block Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan's attack, and withstood the pain to repel the two men. He then turned over, mounted a horse, and chased after Liu Bei, quickly fleeing.

  Zhang Fei's face was filled with regret, and he loudly shouted: "You black-faced man, Zhang will spare your life this time. Next time we meet, I'll definitely behead you." He turned his horse around and retreated swiftly, following Liu Bei's troops as they withdrew. The remaining dozens of soldiers followed Zhang Fei, covering the rear of the retreating army.

  Zhang Fei could not escape from Zhang He and was immediately pursued by his troops.

  Wang Lei shouted: "Dian Wei, don't chase anymore." Although Guan Yu was seriously injured and Liu Bei's soldiers couldn't hold on, the three of them - Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei - were a force to be reckoned with. Especially since Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could still fight, even if they were pursued, it would be difficult to completely defeat them, and instead, their own soldiers would suffer casualties. Moreover, there was another powerful army lurking nearby, making Wang Lei unable to launch an all-out pursuit. Liu Bei retreated from the battlefield, and Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were instantly isolated.

  Xiahou Dun ordered his guards to stop attacking and assume a defensive posture, shouting loudly: "County Magistrate, Xiahou Dun is not a bandit who intercepts and kills government soldiers, but rather someone who helps the government defeat Liu Bei. Please, sir, do not attack."

  Wang Lei raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly finding that the person in front of him was Xiahou Dun, but now Xiahou Dun still had two eyes.

  What is Cao Cao's man doing in Wuji County?

  Wang Lei ordered the soldiers under his command to stop attacking, and also had the soldiers from Xinshi County gather the war horses again, so as not to scatter them. His eyes fell on Xiahou Dun, and he said indifferently: "If I'm not mistaken, Liu Bei wasn't the one who attacked first, but you, Xiahou Dun, led your guards in an attack."

  In an instant, Xiahou Dun's face changed color.

  In an instant, Xiahou Dun regained his smile and said calmly: "Sir, you misunderstood me."
