Hearing the shouts of killing coming from behind, Shi Yang was terrified. He hated that he was the leader of a heavy cavalry unit, clad in heavy armor, and his horse couldn't run fast.

He turned his head to look back, and saw the ferocious Lu Bu wielding his halberd to injure people. Those who tried to stop him were no match for him; anyone who got even slightly close to him was flung away, dying instantly!

Such a sight, Shi Yang was sweating profusely. He hurriedly turned his head towards the front, and just happened to see Xiong Qian in the group of cavalry ahead. He immediately shouted loudly:

"Halt! Halt! Someone, stop this person!"

He's coming to kill the general!!

These two cries were incredibly loud.

Lü Bu's eyebrows shot up, and he finally saw that the fleeing enemy general was heading towards another mighty warrior.

He spat curses under his breath, yelled "Run!", and swung his sword again.

Beneath the rider, Chitu let out a snort and ran with even more vigor.

But at the front, Xiong Qian saw Lü Bu chasing people, killing countless along the way. Whoever obstructed him was either stabbed off his horse with a single halberd or beheaded.

If one were struck, even their complete corpse wouldn't remain. Such a tragic sight truly frightened him greatly.

That fervor, that resolute determination, had unknowingly faded away.

Similarly, seeing Shi Yang running this way, Xiong Qian cursed in his heart, this damned dog wasn't bringing trouble from the east!

He's here to kill you, call him over to kill me instead!

You beast! Not only are you a deserter, but you're trying to harm me!

Xiong Qian watched Lv Bu, who was wreaking havoc everywhere. Besides anger, he also felt a touch of fear.

"Protect the General! Kill him!"

The surrounding cavalry had already moved, and they were quite a number. Now that they saw Lu Bu charging, one by one they rushed forward.

Bear Chien's lieutenant beside him was also about to rush out, but he was suddenly pulled back by Bear Chien.

"General?" the deputy general asked, turning his head in confusion to look at him.

Xiong Qian gritted his teeth and muttered a few words in a low voice.

The deputy general's pupils shrank, his face changing colors erratically, but soon he nodded.

"Alright! General! We'll do whatever you say!"

——

Zhang Liao, who was slaying enemies on the flank, raised his eyes and keenly noticed that the cavalry at the front were beginning to retreat.

He immediately cried out:

"Quick! Chase after them and kill them!"

His leading cavalry on the left had now entered the battlefield, forming a flanking maneuver and beginning to pursue.

Meanwhile, on the right flank, Li Jing's troops were also forming an encircling maneuver. Large contingents of soldiers cut down enemy soldiers while stretching the front line, but this made it difficult to regroup.

This hundred-li plain was vast beyond compare. With the combined armies of both sides, there were simply too many troops. This extremely long battle line made flanking and encircling maneuvers difficult to execute.

If there were slopes to provide cover, one could set up a surprise attack, but this terrain makes that impossible.

But fortunately, there is one thing that is certain: the enemy is now in a state of decline.

Although the fighting in the center of the battlefield and on the flanks is still raging, troops in the rear have already begun to withdraw. This retreat is not a formal withdrawal of troops.

It's obvious the enemy general intends to have his troops at the front hold back the advance, allowing him to escape!

This kind of tactic is the most underhanded one!

Considering this, Li Jing roared angrily:

"If there's a battle, fight me to the death!"

"Kill!"

Amongst the roars of battle, Zhang Yi and Wang Shuang, who followed him with their troops, pursued relentlessly.

But in another place, as the fastest man on this battlefield, one could say, the fastest horse.

Lu Bu rode his red rabbit mount into the fray alone. Though he was still some distance from the fleeing Xiong Qian, he had already reached Shi Yang's side!

In pursuit of this individual, Lü Bu had long since lost count of how many people he had killed along the way.

At this moment, he was almost completely covered in blood, even his hair and face were stained with streaks of it.

Such a sight filled the hearts of the soldiers who came to stop him with fear, and before they even got close, they were already three points less courageous.

Seeing Shi Yan still running away, Lu Bu's anger burned to the extreme!

Previously, on Yànluò Mountain, even the barbarian generals I fought were able to fight valiantly until their deaths. Even in death, they did not retreat an inch. But this court general is inferior to them!

The lord has risen up this time, vowing to overthrow the court! These incompetent generals produced by this inept court are all like this. How can they not be killed?!

"Today, I shall kill you!"

"Hey!"

Lu Bu, enraged to the extreme, glared with bloodshot eyes. Sweat and blood streamed down his forehead as he thrust his halberd forward with a fierce cry!

But right before him, stood Shi Yang, already stripped of his heavy armor!

To make a quick escape, he had taken advantage of Lü Bu's preoccupation with the soldiers and snatched a light cavalryman's horse. As he fled, he even discarded his heavy armor.

When that roar, like thunder, erupted behind him at that moment, he knew he couldn't run any longer.

This man, a general who stops killers by killing them and Buddha by slaying Buddha, is simply beyond the bounds of humanity.

"Great Qian, when did you produce this star of death?!"

The moment a desperate wail erupted, Shi Yang's eyes widened abruptly, and his body involuntarily tore itself away from the warhorse.

The sharp spear tore from his chest, and Shay Zhang opened his mouth in a gasp, his eyes wide as he watched his body rise higher and higher.

But the warhorse had already run away from under him.

He could even see the large amount of blood flowing from his chest onto the ground.

"Pffft".

Blood was not falling drop by drop, but almost a continuous stream, impossible to stop.

Intense pain started in his chest, radiating outwards to his limbs and every part of his body. His brain buzzed with the agony, he powerlessy dropped his hands, gazing at the ground below him.

"How did I get up in the air...?"

The pain brought hallucinations, making it impossible for him to tell what was real. His thoughts were a jumbled mess, like they had been crushed.

Not until a sound, almost deafening in its intensity, pierced his ears did his clouded eyes focus on the faces of the surrounding soldiers, each contorted with terror.

Every face was deathly pale, their eyes filled with intense fear. Some people were so terrified that they trembled uncontrollably like chaff in the wind.

Run!

A soldier shouted, and then he turned and ran wildly.

And Shi Yang finally confirmed one fact.

At this moment, I am being pierced through the chest by a killing god's spear from behind. I am also lifted high into the air, completely separated from the ground.

He is showing himself off!

"Marshal of the State, you want us to suppress the rebel army? That's a real joke..."

With his life fading, Shi Yang cursed under his breath as he closed his eyes.

And at this moment——

On the battlefield, amidst thousands of troops.

Lu Bu, charging in alone, was drenched in blood, his face contorted with rage, like he had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He resembled a wrathful golden arhat and a ferocious Asura demon.

He rode atop the same blood-soaked red rabbit horse, one hand raised high with the Fang Heaven Halberd.

But on Fang Tian's halberd, the already dead Shi Yan lowered his head and hung his hands, blood pouring down from him, more than a zhang high from the ground! (Here, for reference: one zhang in Three Kingdoms equals 2.42 meters.)

Besides flowing naturally to the ground, some of the blood ran along the spear shaft towards Lu Bu's wrist, drenching his chest.

Lu Bu, bathed in blood, suddenly flung Shi Yang several meters, smashing him into the crowd with a heavy thud, scattering another group of people.

He glared with fury, scanning his surroundings, and then bellowed a thunderous roar:

"Anyone who stands in my lord's way to become the hegemon, shall surely die by my spear!"

The momentum was like rolling thunder, and crashing waves, shaking the battlefield to a standstill.

Right after that, with a deafening roar, all the soldiers except Xiong Qian who had already abandoned his post and fled, began to flee in all directions as there was no order for retreat.
