With the Golden Emperor Sword in hand, Yang Rui controlled the Golden Hawk's direction and speed as it flew towards the back of Xu Huang's head.
With the Golden Hawk's speed, if it were an ordinary person, they would not be able to dodge Yang Rui's attack and would lose their life on the spot. However, Xu Huang was a powerful general of the Three Kingdoms. Naturally, he was different.
Yang Rui had also taken Xu Huang's extraordinary strength into consideration. That was why he had attacked with his full strength without any hesitation. One must know that Yang Rui's goal was not to kill Xu Huang. Instead, he wanted to take Xu Huang as his subordinate.
The final result was indeed as Yang Rui had expected. When Yang Rui was only ten meters away from Xu Huang, Xu Huang suddenly sensed something and rolled off his horse.
Although Xu Huang's dismount was somewhat embarrassing, he still managed to dodge Yang Rui's attack by a hair's breadth. At the same time, Yang Rui took the opportunity to jump off his Golden Hawk and once again launched an attack at Xu Huang, who had rolled 10 steps away.
Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang …
"…"
Seeing Yang Rui pouncing in front of him, Xu Huang drew the sword at his waist and blocked Yang Rui's attack by a hair's breadth.
Even though Xu Huang had hurried to meet the attack, Yang Rui had launched a sneak attack first. The two's swords clashed for the first time. Immediately, a powerful force was transmitted to Yang Rui's wrist. Although Xu Huang had not prepared for this attack, it was still powerful.
Facing Xu Huang, Yang Rui did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. Taking advantage of the first move, Yang Rui executed the Scarlet Emperor Sword Technique to its limits and launched a series of attacks, beating Xu Huang into a fluster as he tried to parry the attacks.
In this situation, firstly, Yang Rui had taken the initiative. Secondly, it was because Xu Huang didn't have a suitable weapon in his haste. Similarly, he used a long sword, which wasn't his forte.
Of course, the most important reason was that Yang Rui's strength had increased by leaps and bounds. As a second-grade historical general, his Soaring Dragon Internal Cultivation Method, Soul, was rather special. His overall strength was actually not inferior to an ordinary first-grade historical general.
Yang Rui had crossed hands with quite a few famous historical generals before. Among them, there were a few Kings from the other side whose strength could be classified as first class historical generals. Even during training, Yang Rui had crossed hands with his subordinates before. This was also the reason why Yang Rui dared to directly take action against Xu Huang in order to buy time.
Especially recently, due to some obscure and uncertain reasons, Yang Rui's Soaring Dragon Internal Force Mental Cultivation Method, Soul, had been greatly improved. At this moment, Yang Rui's Internal Force Mental Cultivation Method, Elementary Chapter, had already broken through the boundary of level 0, reaching 20% of level 1.
In the beginning, Yang Rui held the advantage. However, Xu Huang wasn't someone who could be easily dealt with. After exchanging more than thirty moves with Yang Rui, he had slowly turned the situation around. Even though he was still defending more than attacking, he was still exchanging blows with Yang Rui.
"May I know who your distinguished self is? Why are you obstructing this one? "
Xu Huang consecutively countered a few moves. After taking a breather, he took the opportunity to interrogate Yang Rui. It was unknown if he had guessed Yang Rui's true identity.
Faced with Xu Huang's inquiry, Yang Rui didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he took advantage of Xu Huang's opening to launch another round of fierce attacks. This caused Xu Huang to be flustered once again. Originally, he wanted to continue speaking, but he didn't have the time to do so.
Yang Rui's attitude caused Xu Huang to have no choice but to become serious. Very quickly, the two of them had exchanged more than a hundred moves. However, there was still no sign of a victor being decided. From this, one could see the true strength of the two of them.
Even so, Yang Rui was extremely clear in his heart that if the two of them were to continue fighting for a long time, the one who would ultimately be defeated would be him. The only thing Yang Rui could do was to stall for time as much as possible and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Although Yang Rui and Xu Huang had exchanged more than a hundred moves, not much time had passed. Yang Rui had been thinking about how to continue entangling Xu Huang. At the same time, Xu Huang was also secretly thinking of a way to escape from Yang Rui's entanglement.
In fact, Xu Huang could also feel that there was still a gap between the strength of the person in front of him and himself. However, the other party's combat strength was not to be underestimated. It was to the extent that Xu Huang was unable to force his opponent to retreat a few times.
Fortunately, the development of the situation was still advantageous to Xu Huang. If he were to continue delaying, Xu Huang was certain that the final victor would be him. The only thing he was worried about was that he didn't know how long the battle would drag on, or if his opponent still had a hidden trump card.
"If you wish to continue entangling with me, I will fight with all my strength. If you do not wish to continue entangling with me, you may leave on your own accord. I will not pursue this matter further …"
After a little less than an hour, the two of them had exchanged more than three hundred moves. Even though the Soaring Dragon Internal Art's Soul was rather dense, Yang Rui was already at a disadvantage at this moment. Xu Huang took the opportunity to consecutively strike a few times to force Yang Rui back.
When the two of them had begun to fight, Yang Rui had occupied the initiative for nearly two hundred moves. However, due to the exhaustion of his energy, he gradually became powerless and gradually switched from attacking to defending. He was now in a passive position.
"As expected, Gongming's strength and martial arts are outstanding. Blazing Sun admires you. Since Gongming wishes for me to stop, I will stop …"
Yang Rui was forced back a few steps by Xu Huang. He didn't immediately charge forward like the previous few times. Instead, he stood still and spoke to Xu Huang, no longer hiding his identity.
"… Gongming, why don't you abandon the darkness and follow me from now on? You must know that although I am willing to stop, my subordinates may not be willing … "
Looking at the majestic and tall figure of Xu Huang in the night, Yang Rui continued to speak. His voice had yet to fade when three figures slowly walked out from two places around him, faintly encircling Xu Huang in the middle of their encirclement …
Yang Rui's reinforcements had finally arrived!
… …
… …
"Reporting! Fengqiu County has been captured by Blazing Sun … "
"Reporting! Blazing Sun and his subordinates have already left Fengqiu County … "
"… …"
On this day, Cao Cao's mood became even heavier. The various scouts sent back news one after another, all of which were news of Yang Rui's army directly invading and crushing their troops.
"Reporting! Blazing Sun's troops suddenly turned north and didn't continue towards Suanzao and Hulao Pass … "
Especially after Cao Cao made some arrangements according to Yang Rui's direction, he realized that the other party's movements didn't develop in the direction he had planned. This caused Cao Cao to have no choice but to change his orders several times and send out several messengers.
However, this wasn't what worried Cao Cao the most. After being unable to sleep for most of the night, Cao Cao received the latest news that Blazing Sun's Qingzhou troops had defeated Xu Huang and Sima Lang's retreating troops!
Other than the heavy casualties, Xu Huang and Sima Lang had both disappeared without a trace. No one knew if they were dead or alive!
