Section 58: Make a feint to the east but attack in the west

  Make a feint to the east and attack in the west

  Dian Wei's arrogance enraged Zang Ba, who scolded with a stern face:

  "Ugly ghost! Don't say any more! Just look at my big knife, and see how I'll chop you up like a wooden stake!"

  Zang Ba's fighting spirit remains, but among the crowd behind him, many are skeptical of Zang Ba. A tall and sturdy man who claimed to be Chang E said in a low voice to those around him:

  "This man's physique is majestic, probably only comparable to that of the 'Giant' from the Xin Mang period?"

  Xu He also quietly told his subordinates at another location:

  "This man, even if he doesn't know 'martial arts', with just his brute strength alone, is not someone a slave like you can easily handle. Truly a tiger-wolf general..."

  Not mentioning the discussions of other heroes, Zang Ba walked forward dozens of steps to meet Dian Wei, looked up and stared at him. His eyes were clear and calm, without any fear. Dian Wei sneered with a condescending attitude:

  "Hey little dwarf, how's it going?"

  Zang Ba is at the age where "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger", he is confident in his own superior martial arts skills, and has also achieved some success in "war qi". He retorts:

  "What a big target! With such a tall stature, if you're hit by arrows, I'm afraid you can hang twice as many arrowheads!"

  Dian Wei was not a man of many words. Upon hearing this, he didn't want to waste his breath either. He let out a cold laugh and shouted:

  "Kid, stop talking nonsense! Come on, let's see who's stronger!"

  As they spoke, a large halberd suddenly rose up, pointing directly at Zang Ba's face. Zang Ba let out a cold laugh and shouted loudly:

  "Who's afraid of whom?"

  With a "ding" sound, the sword was already out of its scabbard. In the flash of the sword's light, the bright yellow "battle aura" appeared and disappeared, revealing that Zang Ba's "battle aura" cultivation had already reached a pretty good stage.

  But who is Dian Wei?

  Seeing such a small trick, Dian Wei just sneered. He didn't use "war qi", but only used his own strength, and with one swing of his halberd, he chopped down towards Zang Ba!

  Zang Ba has a mind to try the opponent's strength, and does not evade, swinging his hand with one knife, using eight points of strength, chopping on the incoming big halberd.

  "When..."

  A massive counterforce came from the hilt of the sword, like the feeling of chopping a knife on an iron plate. Zang Ba had expected it in his heart, but he didn't expect his opponent's brute force to be so terrifying!

  He had no choice but to stir up the "battle qi" in his body, and at the same time, his body rotated sideways with the counter-shock force, only then did he successfully dissipate the opponent's force.

  What a terrible power!

  Zang Ba's heart was greatly shocked. Although he was still young and his strength had not yet reached its full potential, he was already stronger than the average adult. However, now facing the enemy's casual strike, Zang Ba couldn't even withstand it head-on!

  The difference in strength is like the gap between a ten-year-old child and a robust adult.

  But I won't give up!

  The sound of wind rose, and Tianwei's second move had already been cut out.

  Having learned a lesson from the first move, Zang Ba didn't dare hesitate and immediately applied his skill of "pressing the bottom of the box". His feet moved swiftly as he circled around Dian Wei. Suddenly, his foot slipped and he slid from east to south. Dian Wei exclaimed, "Huh?" and withdrew his force, pulling back his giant halberd that had struck empty air.

  So smooth steps...

  In terms of strength, Dian Wei had never been afraid of anyone. However, when it came to speed, he was somewhat troubled. Now that Zang Ba had shown an astonishing pace, Dian Wei's heart immediately became alert.

  I'm not afraid of the enemy's fierce attack, but I'm afraid of their guerrilla warfare!

  To counter the enemy's speed advantage, Dianwei's twin iron halberds were both over six feet long, and could be used as a long spear by some people who were not very tall. Adding to that his arm length, if an enemy wanted to attack within eight feet of Dianwei, they would have to possess the strength to withstand his powerful blows.

  However, if he were to collide with Dyne in terms of strength, Dyne's confidence would not allow anyone to maintain their speed. After all, as the strongest person in the world today, even a casual strike from Dyne was not something that could be easily received.

  However, if the opponent relies on their speed advantage and engages in a fierce battle with Dian Wei, Dian Wei is indeed unable to cope. For example, Zhang Kuang once used this method during a sparring match with Dian Wei, entangling him for over a hundred moves without falling behind.

  Of course, Zang Ba was not the kind of person who would use this method to drag out time. He had always been proud and arrogant, even when facing the powerful Dian Wei, his mind was only thinking of one thing:

  Defeat your opponent and rescue your father!

  The scorching sun of June was unbearable. If it weren't for Dian Wei's martial arts skills having reached the level of "impervious to heat and cold" after being enlightened by Zhang Fei, just wearing this heavy fish-scale armor would be enough to make him faint from the heat.

  Due to the prolonged drought, the soil on the ground has been scorched dry. One step down and it's a cloud of dust. The hot air baked by the scorching sun holds up these dust particles, unable to settle for a long time.

  Zang Ba circled around Dian Wei twice, his feet moving swiftly on the dry land, stirring up a cloud of dust that disrupted Dian Wei's vision. Suddenly, Zang Ba stopped in his tracks and pounced at Dian Wei like a agile leopard!

  In the midst of dust and earth, Dian Wei whispered "well met" as his right hand swung out to meet the opponent's figure. However, at this moment, his fierce beast instincts suddenly appeared, feeling a chill on his entire left side, hastily lifting his left hand to hold up his halberd to shield himself.

  "Then!"

  In the midst of dust and dirt flying everywhere, Dian Wei only felt a surge of great strength coming from his left hand's halberd. Adding to that, his right hand's halberd swung out but ended up striking nothing. The two combined, even with Dian Wei's stable footing, caused him to stumble slightly.

  It turned out that Zang Ba took advantage of the dust flying to cover up, and on the surface, he launched a surprise attack on Dian Wei from the right side. In fact, his real killer move came from the left side. As soon as this move was made, even Dian Wei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The people watching the battle nearby cheered and applauded continuously.

  "What a clever move of 'making a feint to the east while attacking in the west'!"

  Among the several heroes who came to help, Sun Guan's martial arts were the most powerful, and he was also the most able to appreciate the difficulty of this move. He said to Yin Li beside him:

  "This move requires moving one's body several feet in an instant, to deliver the truly fatal blow before the fake attack's blade light has dissipated. Although Nuo Kuo's skills are still somewhat awkward and can't perform this move with ease. However, being able to use such a move under the cover of dust is already extremely rare."

  Yin Li is older and more steady in his thinking. Although he loudly cheered for Zang Ba's move, he turned around and said to Sun Guan:

  "Xuan Gao is in danger!"

  "Oh?"

  Sun Guan didn't react for a moment, and Yin Li explained in a low voice:

  "Xuan Gao's move is quite impressive, but it won't be easy to use. Although the big man looks a bit disheveled, he hasn't suffered any real damage. You see, Xuan Gao had to resort to his ultimate technique as soon as he made a move, which shows that he's already struggling to counterattack!"

  At the same time, Da Hao Chang of Liangpu County also said to the people around him:

  "Zang Xuan Gao's situation is not good! From a certain family's perspective, the giant's strength far surpasses Zang Xuan Gao. If Zang Xuan Gao could use his footwork to drag on for twenty rounds, that would be fine. Now he actually goes head-to-head with the giant, it's truly..."

  "Then...Zang brothers, how can we help him out?"

  Facing the inquiry of people around him, Chang Yan let out a sigh and continued to say:

  "Nowadays, there is only one who is not a Buddha among Buddhas... Let's call out together with me!"

  After finishing speaking, dozens of light cavalry followed Chang Yun, shouting loudly:

  "The third move!"

  "This is the third move!"

  ……

  Zang Ba's mouth was panting heavily.

  That last move "Voice East Strike West" had consumed two-tenths of his physical strength. At this point, Zang Ba also understood that the person in front of him was indeed not someone he could currently contend with.

  The shouting from the side reminded Zang Ba of the time to change tactics!
