Chapter 44

In the confrontation between Guan Yu and Zhang Yan, the outcome was predictable; the only thing left was the process.

Qin Feng, leading the charge, knew that even if he didn’t kill Zhang Yan, the deep-seated grudge would still be attributed to him. His wife from his previous life, Chu Feiyu, would certainly not share a bed with him in this life if she found out.

What should he do? Could he just watch as Zhang Yan was killed by Guan Yu?

Just as Qin Feng was feeling anxious, he suddenly noticed Dian Wei and Xu Chu by his side. An idea struck him, and he immediately called out, "Dian Wei, Zhong Kang, quickly, give me a loud shout, put all your strength into it, and shout at Guan Yu!"

Although Dian Wei and Xu Chu didn’t understand why, their lord’s command was paramount. They would do anything, even if it meant chopping someone up.

Xu Chu took a deep breath, and his massive waist, like a toad’s, swelled up. Dian Wei’s large, copper-bell eyes bulged, his beard bristled, and the veins on his neck twisted like centipedes.

Truly, the Twin Dragon Guards, who had cooperated for decades in his previous life, were still in sync in this life. They exhaled and shouted in unison, and an explosive sound suddenly burst forth, "Guan Yun Chang!"

"Guan Yun Chang… Guan Yun Chang… Yun Chang… Yun Chang… Chang…"

The sound shattered, and the sound waves rapidly expanded. As Qin Feng covered his ears, he noticed the air seemed to distort.

Neighing, the horses of the Xianyang Camp were startled and neighed incessantly. The soldiers of the Xianyang Camp, who hadn’t had time to cover their ears, turned pale and trembled.

Qin Feng thought to himself, a single roar can repel a thousand soldiers; the ancients were not lying. No wonder in later games, mighty generals had the skill of a loud shout. Truly, one shout can move heaven and earth, and another can shock the spirits!

Even Zhang Fei, who was shaken, stumbled. As for Guan Yu, who was the first to bear the brunt and whose name was shouted, he was greatly frightened. His entire body trembled, and the Qinglong aura on his blade instantly dissipated with the roar.

By the time the sound waves reached Zhang Yan, due to his position behind Guan Yu, most of the impact was blocked by Guan Yu, significantly reducing the effect on him.

However, even though the Qinglong aura on Guan Yu’s blade had dissipated, the force of the strike was still formidable and majestic.

Seeing Guan Yu’s crescent moon blade coming, Zhang Yan hurriedly parried.

With a loud clang, Zhang Yan felt his internal organs churn, a sweet taste in his throat, and immediately spat blood. This wasn’t the end; he was directly thrown back.

"Ouch!" A bodyguard behind Zhang Yan felt a blur before him, "When did General Zhang run into my arms!"

This bodyguard, being quick-witted, instantly realized what had happened, hugged the bleeding Zhang Yan, and immediately called out, "Retreat, retreat!"

"General Zhang Yan has been thrown back!"

"His fate is unknown!" The Black Mountain Army, which had just been thinking that General Zhang was invincible, was stunned. As Zhang Yan’s bodyguards carried him away, the Black Mountain Army collapsed.

The Xianyang Iron Cavalry took advantage of the chaos and charged, followed by Qin Feng’s main force of imperial troops, and finally, Liu Bei arrived.

Liu Bei, upon arrival, was very disappointed. He glanced at Guan Yu with a reproachful look and said, "Second Brother, how did you let Zhang Yan escape? Your skills should not be like this."

Guan Yu couldn’t bear Liu Bei’s gaze and felt ashamed.

Qin Feng, however, chuckled to himself, thinking, "No matter how powerful you are, Lord Guan, my Dragon Guards are no less than you. One roar, and your Spring and Autumn saber technique is broken!" He was very satisfied with his Dragon Guards, "If this were in a martial arts world, they would definitely be the exclusive inheritors of the Lion Roar, and even with a megaphone, the Fire Cloud Evil God couldn’t stand it!"

After a moment of shame, Guan Yu suddenly remembered something and immediately became angry, shouting, "Brother, it’s not that I’m incompetent. Don’t say anything more; it’s all because of Dian Wei and Xu Chu!"

"What do you mean?" Liu Bei asked hurriedly.

Guan Yu’s face turned red, his eyes narrowed, and he shook his head, even turning purple, but he didn’t speak. Zhang Fei couldn’t help but shout, "Dian Wei, Xu Chu, why did you shout at my Second Brother, dispersing the power he had gathered? If not for that, one strike would have taken Zhang Yan’s life!"

Liu Bei suddenly understood and looked at Qin Feng and the others, his gaze filled with some dissatisfaction and inquiry.

Xu Chu’s massive waist swelled, and Dian Wei’s large eyes bulged. For a moment, they didn’t know how to respond, but they would never betray their lord.

Suddenly, Dian Wei had an idea and shouted, "We saw Guan Yun Chang’s strike as mighty and rare, so we couldn’t help but cheer for him."

True to form, Xu Chu immediately sighed, "Ah, who knew that this Yun Chang couldn’t handle the shouting and was dispersed. It seems he still needs more training."

The idea that the mighty Guan Yu needed more training?

Only generals of Dian Wei and Xu Chu’s caliber could say such things.

Qin Feng laughed heartily, thinking, "That’s it, it’s all set." He couldn’t help but recall a popular song from his later life, "When you see injustice, give a roar; when it’s time to act, act! Fierce and fiery, mix it up in the Three Kingdoms, hey~ oh hey~!"

Although Liu Bei felt there was something fishy, he couldn’t tell from the surface, so he awkwardly laughed along with Qin Feng and said to Guan Yu, "Second Brother, they were cheering for you, not intentionally."

Guan Yu’s face turned red, and he turned his head, his eyes narrowing, his hand on his long beard. Although he didn’t speak, his breathing was heavy, and his grip on the handle of the Green Dragon Crescent Moon Blade creaked.

Zhang Fei was indignant and shouted, "What cheering? Is this how you cheer? I think you’re just afraid of my Second Brother’s achievements!"

Qin Feng, hearing this, was displeased. His face darkened, and he said, "Zhang Yide, you can’t say that. When you cheer, do you not shout loudly? Just, um um um… like a mosquito’s hum?"

"Th-this…" Zhang Fei’s black face turned red, and he was speechless. In his heart, he thought, "Too despicable, too shameless! Clearly, it was intentional, but how can I refute it? Too shameless!"

Liu Bei was almost choked by Qin Feng’s words. He had nothing to say and could only accept his misfortune, somewhat blaming Guan Yu. He thought, "They shouted, and your strength was disrupted. How can this be?" So he said, "Be more careful next time."

Guan Yu’s face turned red, and he bowed, finally speaking, "It was too sudden…"

Actually, even if ten thousand people shouted together, Lord Guan wouldn’t be afraid. However, with Dian Wei and Xu Chu, it wasn’t a matter of numbers but of power. Plus, it was indeed too sudden, and Lord Guan couldn’t withstand it. But to be fair, if it were just anyone, no matter how sudden, Lord Guan could still handle it.
