Chapter 993: Dian Wei vs. Guan Hai
Chapter 993: Dian Wei vs. Guan Hai
September 25, 2017
State of Youzhou, Yangyuan City and its surroundings.
As the iron spear descended, and Dian Wei stepped forward from Lu Hai Kong's camp, everyone's attention was drawn to him.
On the city wall, Zhang Yan, who had been relieved by the response of Lu Hai Kong's army, thinking that they wouldn't have any exceptional warriors, was shocked to see Dian Wei appear.
"Damn it, what's he doing here?"
Although Lu Hai Kong's army had kept the identities of their warriors relatively secret, many of them were well-known and renowned.
Aside from Warlord Zhang, who had gained fame in the battle beneath Hu Lao Pass, Dian Wei was undoubtedly the most famous warrior under Lu Hai Kong's command.
Almost everyone knew that Dian Wei was Lu Hai Kong's top warrior, and he had even defeated Lu Bu in the past. Because of this feat, he was known as the Central Plains' First Warrior among the foreigners, although this title was somewhat exaggerated, it still held weight.
Initially, Zhang Yan had thought that Lu Hai Kong wouldn't send Dian Wei here and that he should have been assigned to Shangzhou County to prepare for Lu Bu. After all, as Lu Hai Kong's top warrior, if he didn't show up, there would be no one to match Lu Bu.
It was for this reason that Zhang Yan dared to directly send Guan Hai into the battle.
In Zhang Yan's opinion, if Dian Wei didn't appear, there would be no one capable of rivaling Guan Hai, and sending him into battle should have been a one-sided slaughter.
However, Lu Hai Kong didn't follow the expected strategy. Just as Zhang Yan was about to start the battle, a wave of arrows rained down on them. And when Zhang Yan thought Lu Hai Kong's side had no one left, Guan Hai boldly initiated his taunts, forcing Dian Wei to reveal himself.
Seeing Dian Wei before her, Zhang Yan was dumbfounded.
"Sound the retreat and call Guan Hai back!"
After taking a deep look at Dian Wei, Zhang Yan instructed Zhang Yan, who was beside her. She was well aware that Guan Hai was no match for Dian Wei, so it was better not to fight.
Zhang Yan on the side quickly took action, and soon, a heavy, iron-blooded sound of metal clashing echoed.
As the sound rang out, Guan Hai was taken aback, his face filled with reluctance.
He wasn't Zhang Yan; he didn't think he would lose to Dian Wei. There was no reason for him to retreat just because Dian Wei had appeared!
However, the retreat signal had already been sounded behind him, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay. Yet, he was reluctant to leave, and his heart was filled with unwillingness. This was why his face was filled with hesitation.
At that moment, Dian Wei, with his face that Lu Hai Kong considered honest and others considered ferocious, slowly approached, revealing a cold smile. He taunted the distant Guan Hai, "Hey, your Holy Maiden is calling you back for dinner. Go back quickly. Guys like you who haven't weaned off milk shouldn't be out here."
It was unclear who Dian Wei had learned this taunting skill from, whether it was something the Flame Camp taught, but he hadn't used it before. However, his words carried immense power, and Guan Hai's face darkened instantly. He turned around and glared at Dian Wei with intense ferocity, "You're asking for death!"
With a roar, Guan Hai ignored the retreat signal behind him and swung the great gate saber in his hand, charging towards Dian Wei.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan's face paled. She quickly waved her slender hand, and a yellow talisman began to burn without any wind. Zhang Yan shouted urgently, "Guan Hai, come back! He's Lu Hai Kong's top warrior and the Central Plains' First Warrior. You're no match for him!"
Zhang Yan's voice wasn't particularly loud at this moment, but it reached Guan Hai's ears clearly, filled with urgency.
However, Guan Hai paid no heed to this and had no intention of retreating.
"What First Warrior? He's just a reckless brute. Holy Maiden, rest assured, Old Guan will take care of this guy for you!"
As he spoke, Guan Hai charged forward without a care in the world. The great gate saber in his hand shimmered with a cold light, and his aura surged, determined to cut down Lu Hai Kong.
It wasn't just Dian Wei's taunts that infuriated him; more importantly, Guan Hai genuinely believed he was no less than Dian Wei.
This was quite normal. Guan Hai was already a top-tier historical warrior, and his strength was formidable. Over the past few years, his strength had further increased, and his strength points had reached 96, making him one of the top warriors in the entire realm.
How could a top-tier warrior like him back down because of a mere title?
What nonsense about the First Warrior? In Guan Hai's mind, the strongest warrior should be Zhang Liang, and he was second only to Zhang Liang. Where did Dian Wei fit into this equation?
More importantly, why was Zhang Yan telling him that he wasn't capable at this moment? How could Guan Hai tolerate this? Men were most averse to being told they were inadequate, especially when it came from a woman he respected. He couldn't hold back any longer.
The emotions of resentment and defiance, coupled with his determination to prove himself, surged within Guan Hai, pushing him to a heightened state. In this emotional state, Guan Hai underwent a special transformation, entering a realm he had never experienced before.
In this state, Guan Hai's blood boiled with fervor.
As he charged forward, his aura surged, and his inner strength rippled within him.
He knew he could do it, especially in this state of heightened power. With his strength at its peak, he believed this strike could cut down Dian Wei. This conviction filled Guan Hai with excitement as he rushed forward.
With the aid of his beast steed, it took less than ten minutes to reach Dian Wei.
"Die with me!"
With a roar, Guan Hai swung his great gate saber downward. In an instant, a thunderous clap echoed, and a dazzling light burst forth from the saber.
As Guan Hai's strike descended, everyone's attention was captivated by the sheer force of his blow, even Zhang Yan, who initially had little faith in Guan Hai, was momentarily stunned.
Guan Hai's strike was awe-inspiring and magnificent. At that moment, Zhang Yan even had the illusion that Guan Hai might truly be able to cut down Dian Wei, causing her to hesitate slightly.
"Not good!"
Seeing Guan Hai's strike, several warriors in Lu Hai Kong's camp paled, preparing to rush forward to seek Dian Wei's aid.
But just then, Dian Wei's ghostly aura reached its zenith. The phantom blade behind him vanished, absorbed into his body in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, the situation changed.
The transformation was so swift that everyone was caught off guard.
By the time they realized what was happening, Guan Hai's great gate saber had already descended, and Dian Wei's remaining iron spear had risen to meet it.
Compared to the saber, Dian Wei's spear seemed meager, devoid of any special effects.
Given the circumstances, Zhang Yan naturally assumed that Guan Hai's all-out attack would yield impressive results.
"If Guan Hai can defeat Dian Wei, it would be perfect. I want to see the expression on Lu Hai Kong's face when he sees his trusted general fall in battle."
In that instant, Zhang Yan's thoughts raced like lightning, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
Almost simultaneously, a similar smile spread across Guan Hai's face.
In that fleeting moment, an overwhelming illusion engulfed him. He believed he could do it; after all, Dian Wei was just one man, and he had managed to strike him down even before his breakthrough. Now, with his enhanced strength, killing Dian Wei would be a breeze.
Under this illusion, Guan Hai's great saber clashed with Dian Wei's iron spear, creating a deafening crash. In that instant, Dian Wei's sheer, inhuman violence shattered all of Guan Hai's illusions.
Poor kid, why did he have to pick a fight with Dian Wei? Why choose such a direct confrontation? Even Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, without their demonic transformations, dared not face Dian Wei head-on. Where did Guan Hai find such courage?
Amidst the violent clash, Guan Hai's great gate saber was not only shattered but his arm was broken on the spot. Most of his bones were shattered, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth. His entire body felt like a sandbag, about to be flung away, but Dian Wei grabbed his arm and, with a backhand swing, slammed him brutally to the ground once more.
Under the force of this violent impact, Guan Hai's bones dislocated, and he immediately lost consciousness. He was captured by Dian Wei, a pitiful sight. If he hadn't been so foolish, he could have lasted at least a hundred exchanges with Dian Wei.
Witnessing this, Zhang Yan's smug smile froze, and she stood there, stunned.
She had thought that even if Guan Hai couldn't kill Dian Wei with one strike, he could at least hold his own for a while. She had even prepared for a rescue, but before she could do anything, the battle was already over.
Watching Guan Hai being defeated in a single blow by Dian Wei, Zhang Yan felt like she had witnessed a fake martial competition.
Dian Wei casually tossed the pitiful Guan Hai aside and strode forward. He gestured to the two warriors who had rushed forward to help, now hundreds of meters away.
Zhou Cang and Tie Chui broke into a cold sweat and turned to flee without a word.
They knew better than to challenge Dian Wei after seeing Guan Hai defeated in a single move. Running was their only option; otherwise, they would be courting death.
As Dian Wei watched Zhou Cang and Tie Chui retreat, he considered pursuing them but ultimately decided against it, considering his depleted energy.
Instead, Dian Wei strolled over to where his iron spear had fallen, picked it up, and then glanced sidelong at Yangyuan City.
"I'll give you one day. Either surrender and open the city gates, or face the destruction of your city and the loss of your lives!"
With that, Dian Wei turned and left, his entire demeanor unnerving. Throughout this, not a single person on Yangyuan City, including Zhang Yan, dared to breathe a word.
