The most outstanding trait about Chen Zichuan was his composure. He rarely got angry over anything or wavered as a result, usually charging towards his goal once he made up his mind. More importantly, Chen Zichuan always believed that his intelligence was sufficient to implement his ideas.

Because of Lyu Bu’s valor and magnanimity, along with many other miscellaneous reasons, Chen Zichuan wavered for the first time. He didn’t want to kill someone who could potentially become a hero, which is why he tried to retain him.

As long as Lyu Bu spoke up, no matter why he appeared so valiant and unyielding today, if he could maintain his magnanimity and the attitude of a grandmaster from a moment ago, Chen Zichuan could guarantee he had a way to redeem Lyu Bu, and even a way to settle him. But fate played a joke. Just when he began to doubt his choice for the first time, heaven made him swallow a bitter pill, as fury surged wildly within him.

”Go to hell!” Lyu Bu directly ignored Hann Qiong’s attack, swinging his halberd towards Chen Zichuan. Luckily, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun desperately blocked the strike.

”Puchi!” Hann Qiong’s spear stabbed into Lyu Bu’s arm, slicing open his armor. However, the next moment, to everyone’s astonishment, Lyu Bu’s wound healed at an alarming rate back to normal.

”Die?” A trace of coldness flashed in Chen Zichuan’s eyes. For how many years, he couldn’t remember anyone daring to utter the word ”die” in front of him.

”Stop talking to him, that guy is just a madman,” Guo Jia said angrily, approaching with a dark expression towards Chen Zichuan.

”I think so too,” Chen Zichuan said with a dark face, ”I was blind just now, I won’t waver anymore in the future.”

”Let’s leave this place. We only have close combat and desperate efforts. Against a master like Lyu Bu, a single sweeping strike is enough to cut us to pieces,” Guo Jia sighed and said, ”Let the army come. It’s too dangerous to be too close.”

”Let’s go.” Chen Zichuan’s face darkened, but he didn’t hesitate much and immediately left with Guo Jia.

In this situation, the two of them being present were just a hindrance. The spiritual piercing of civil officials was nothing but a desperate move to drag others down with them in death, and being too close made it ineffective, not to mention other physical attacks.

Ruan Liangyu immediately escorted Chen Zichuan and Guo Jia away, and after the two had left, it was only then that Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Hann Qiong truly unleashed their full strength, engaging Lyu Bu in a fierce battle. However, what surprised all three of them was that they soon overpowered Lyu Bu.

”Go to hell!” Lyu Bu roared madly, slashing at the trio. His once brilliant armor was now covered with numerous scratches from their attacks.

”Lyu Bu, what on earth are you doing!” Zhao Yun fiercely parried Lyu Bu’s Sky Piercer with his spear, flying backwards, and then yelled at Lyu Bu using the Heart-Summoning Secret Technique.

Then Guan Yu and Hann Qiong also leveraged force to fly out, forming a triangular formation with Zhao Yun around Lyu Bu at the center. It was clear they all realized Lyu Bu was mentally unstable at the moment.

Of course, if it were a battle to the death on the battlefield, no words would be needed—if Lyu Bu were killed, it would be justified. However, this day, no matter what, was meant to be a martial exchange among friends. Lyu Bu’s current state was too strange, and they didn’t want to push him too hard. They would settle their scores and revenge on the battlefield, but actions like Lyu Bu’s, akin to an assassination, would only encounter the contempt of true martial artists.

”What’s the matter? What’s the matter? What are you doing?” Lyu Bu roared to the heavens, his bitterness turning into a skyward lament, with Golden Flame fluctuating uncertainly around him and tears welling up in his eyes. He finally understood where his roots lay, he finally understood where his home was. He wasn’t homeless, but he could never return, never return!

```

”Zilong, why must it be so difficult? This man is a great disaster. He attacked Zichuan before and almost took Zichuan’s life. Even if you don’t kill him, you must capture him!” Han Qiong said to Zhao Yun, rebuking him in a low voice.

”No, I see there are other reasons behind this matter; it’s not that simple,” Zhao Yun shook his head and said, ”Marquis Wen, even if you are angry, there must be a reason. The military advisor treated you kindly, yet you have acted in such a manner. Today, if you don’t provide a reason, then I will have no choice but to take Marquis Wen to plead guilty before the military advisor.”

As he spoke, Zhao Yun’s left hand rested on the Yitian Sword, and a terrifyingly sharp aura burst forth from him.

”Kind words, kind words to me...” Lyu Bu’s face was filled with bitterness, a pained expression of utter desperation, then he slowly returned to his senses, scanning the trio before him, ”What more explanations do you need? If you want to see him, let’s see if you have the ability. Come at me!”

On another front, Zhang Liao was fighting and chasing Xu Chu. To be honest, it was not that Zhang Liao could not defeat Xu Chu; even if Xu Chu were completely unharmed, Zhang Liao could still fight him to a deadlock.

Moreover, Xu Chu was badly injured by Lyu Bu, and he simply could not keep up with the fighting pace of Zhang Liao. Now, Zhang Liao was entirely unwilling to strike an injured Xu Chu; he still had not understood what was happening and how things had taken such a sudden turn.

However, with Lyu Bu’s roaring, his mournful cries of despair, his frantic onslaught of attacks, and those disjointed words, Zhang Liao managed to piece the whole situation together. And it was precisely because he had pieced it together that he understood what had become of Lyu Bu.

[”So, Fengxian wants to return to Bingzhou. Right, that is our root, our home. We are now but wanderers. No wonder Fengxian’s behavior this time was so strange; it was because of this.”] Zhang Liao smiled bitterly. He was not slow-witted and had personally been involved in the event while being particularly familiar with Lyu Bu, translating to a quick understanding of the sequence of events.

[”But now is not the time to be thinking about these things. The main forces of Liu Bei’s Army will definitely arrive soon given the proximity. If we don’t leave now, we will certainly be surrounded by the army. Given Fengxian’s earlier actions, Chen Zichuan ordering an execution wouldn’t be out of the question!”] Zhang Liao sighed inwardly, knowing if they did not withdraw soon, they would undoubtedly die.

[”Let me think. Fengxian’s greatest obsession now is certainly to kill the deceiving Chen Zichuan. But in reality, Chen Zichuan has done nothing wrong. It can only be said that Fengxian has developed an obsession, even a heart demon, because of the matter in Bingzhou. No wonder Fengxian had made a breakthrough, but after Chen Xi spoke, his strength actually fell back!”] His thoughts racing, Zhang Liao realized that if he couldn’t persuade Lyu Bu, they both would fall here today, and it would be a death of their own making.

”Fengxian, Bingzhou has been occupied by Yuan Shao, even if the People of Bingzhou still think of you, do you dare to return?” Zhang Liao suddenly had a realization, and in a burst of quick thinking, he shouted loudly!

”I dare!” Lyu Bu’s eyes blazed with fury, and with a halberd, he repelled Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Han Qiong, shouting back at Zhang Liao.

”Feudal Lords themselves do not fear, what do you fear?” Zhang Liao roared, ”Whether the people of Bingzhou remember you or not, go and ask them!”

After hearing these words, Lyu Bu’s swinging Sky Piercer halberd came to an abrupt stop. It was the first time someone spoke to him so bluntly.

”I will ask! Yes!” The previously intense look on Lyu Bu’s face suddenly became calm as he muttered to himself. Then, he raised his head to look in the direction of Zhao Yun and the others, snorted coldly, and whistled. Soon, the Red Hare Horse galloped over to him.

Lyu Bu mounted his horse. Guan Yu and the others did not hinder him, nor were they able to. While they could suppress the unruly Lyu Bu who had lost his spirit, stopping him was difficult. Besides, after Zhang Liao’s words, Lyu Bu had regained his composure.

After a few steps, Lyu Bu halted Red Hare and looked back at Zhao Yun and his companions, ”Tell Chen Zichuan, I have misunderstood this time. I will repay him for this favor!”
