Zhang Chen's heart was dead. At this moment, he had resolved to die.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Forget it, to be able to die at the hands of Liu Bei's three brothers, he would surely be remembered in history.
Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade had already slashed down, and Zhang Fei's Eighteen-Foot Serpent Spear had also closed in on Zhang Chen's chest.
"Clang!" Just at this critical moment, a silver spear suddenly thrust out from the side, like a white snake exploring the sea, forcefully blocking both the Eighteen-Foot Serpent Spear and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
At this time, Zhang Chen's tightly closed eyes slowly opened. In front of him, a white-robed General with a white horse and silver spear had blocked the attacks of the two.
That General was imposing and handsome, with sharp eyes that held a hint of killing intent. He exerted force, pushing back Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then swept his silver spear horizontally and shouted, "In broad daylight, you rely on numbers to bully one person! How shameless!"
"Who is this General?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he saw the General.
Just now, he alone was able to block the attacks of Yun Chang and Yi De. This person is definitely not an ordinary individual!
Liu Bei's mind instantly began to calculate.
Immediately, Liu Bei said with a smiling face, "General, I am Liu Bei, the Magistrate of Pingyuan. These two are my sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. General, you may not know, but this person is a traitor who harms the country. We are here to capture and kill him on His Majesty's orders. I see that you are young and brave. How about we temporarily cease hostilities? After we have executed this traitor, we can have a drink and talk. How does that sound?"
Upon hearing this, the General couldn't help but feel suspicious and glanced back at Zhang Chen.
You big-eared thief, how shameless!
Zhang Chen couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Zhang Chen then roared angrily, "Hmph, Liu Bei, I was appointed Governor of Ji Province by imperial decree. I have His Majesty's imperial edict here. Whose order are you following? How dare you forge an imperial edict!"
"Zhang Chen, stop talking nonsense! No one can save you today!" Liu Bei was exposed on the spot and immediately became furious. He roared, "Second Brother, Third Brother, kill the traitor!"
Hehe! Traitor?
What a big hat to wear!
Big-eared thief, if I escape with my life today, I will surely kill you!
Zhang Chen held the Xuan Tie Si Leng Qiang (Black Iron Four Edged Spear) in his hand. Facing the murderous Liu Bei and his two brothers, he felt no fear at this moment.
Zhang Chen looked at the white-robed General and said, "General, these two are both incredibly brave. This matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave quickly!"
The white-robed General, however, sized up Zhang Chen and said, "Are you the Prefect of Wei Commandery, Zhang Chen, Zhang Zifan?"
"That is I."
"Are you the Zhang Chen who defeated the one hundred thousand Yellow Turban rebels?"
"Yes."
Respect immediately surged in the white-robed General's eyes. He said, "Zhang Chen has worked hard and made great contributions for the country and the people. I have long heard of Zhang Chen's deeds and did not expect to be fortunate enough to meet him today."
After the white-robed General finished speaking, he brandished the shining silver spear in his hand and shouted at Liu Bei and his two brothers, "With me here today, you will not harm Zhang Chen in the slightest!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei immediately became enraged and roared, "Pretty boy, I think you're looking for death!"
Guan Yu's gaze was cold. He said in a deep voice, "Guan Yu does not slay nameless ghosts with his blade. Report your name!"
The white-robed General slightly raised his eyes, reined in his horse with one hand, and with the other, brandished his silver spear, letting out a long roar towards the sky.
"I do not change my name whether walking or sitting. I am—Zhao Zilong of Changshan!"
!!!
Zhang Chen suddenly looked up at the white-robed General, his eyes filled with shock.
【Name: Zhao Yun】
【Traits: Loyalty and Righteousness (Red), All Gall (Red), Ever-Victorious General (Red), Peerless Spear Skill (Red), Peak Horsemanship (Gold), Heavenly Strength (Gold)】
【Loyalty and Righteousness (Red)】: You are loyal and value camaraderie greatly. (Never betrays, attack and defense greatly increase when in danger.)
【All Gall (Red)】: You are brave and fearless, the bravest of the army! (Attack greatly increases, troop morale always remains high, troop attack and defense greatly increase.)

【Peerless Spear Skill (Red)】: Your spear skill has reached perfection, unique in the world. (Spear skill power greatly increases, possesses exclusive spear skill 'Seven Probing Serpent Coils Spear'.)
This is Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong, one of the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Shu Kingdom, the Ever-Victorious General who charged seven times in and out at Changban Slope, routing Cao Cao's army!
I never expected to meet him here!
"Zhao Zilong? Never heard of him, a nameless nobody, die!"
Zhang Fei roared, spurred his horse forward, and thrust his spear.
Zhao Yun met him with his spear, and the two immediately began to fight.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of moves.
Liu Bei watched from the side, his eyes filled with a hint of fervor.
I didn't expect this white-robed General to be so brave, actually matching Third Brother! If I can recruit him, he will surely help me achieve great things in the future!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei quickly shouted to Zhang Fei, "Third Brother, we are only here to eliminate the traitor today. Do not harm anyone else!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. What a Liu Bei, to be able to act so hypocritically, truly unmatched!
At this moment, Zhang Fei was locked in a fierce battle with Zhao Yun. Hearing this, he couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Brother, which eye of yours sees that I can harm him? This kid's spear technique is divine. If we keep fighting, I might not even be his match!
Liu Bei only felt that Zhang Fei was invincible and thought that although this Zhao Zilong was formidable, he would definitely not be able to defeat Zhang Fei. But Guan Yu, who was an expert, saw it clearly. He sat on his horse, watching the two fight, his brows tightly furrowed, having already seen that Zhao Yun's spear technique seemed to be even better than Zhang Fei's.
"Third Brother, rest for a moment. Let me take him!" Guan Yu said in a deep voice, spurring his horse forward.
"Second Brother, be careful! This pretty boy has some skills!" Zhang Fei feigned a move with his spear, parried Zhao Yun's spear, and pulled his horse away.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun took the opportunity to thrust his spear towards Guan Yu and engaged him in battle.
A battle between masters was truly a rare sight. Zhang Chen watched with intense emotion.
As the saying goes, "One Lü Bu, two Zhao Yun, three Dian Wei, four Guan Yu, five Ma Chao, six Zhang Fei." Among the Generals of the Three Kingdoms period, Zhao Yun was ranked only below Lü Bu. Facing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at this moment, he naturally did not fall into a disadvantage.
Before long, Zhao Yun had already exchanged dozens of moves with Guan Yu.
At this time, Liu Bei saw the situation on the field and also understood that Zhao Zilong's martial skill was so formidable that even Second Brother was having difficulty winning for a while!
No, things have come to this. Absolutely cannot let these two escape today! While Guan Yu is currently entangled with him, I might as well eliminate that kid Zhang Chen first!
Thinking this, Liu Bei hardened his heart, drew his sword, and ordered, "All troops listen up, surround and kill Zhang Chen!"
Zhang Chen's pupils constricted. Immediately, Soldiers galloped towards him from all directions.
Anger surged in Zhang Chen's heart. "Hmph, hmph, I can't defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but can't I defeat these lackeys? How dare you bully me with just yourselves!"
Zhang Chen thought to himself. He repeatedly swung the Xuan Tie Si Leng Qiang (Black Iron Four Edged Spear) in his hand, and all the Soldiers who got close were knocked off their horses.
Suddenly, Zhang Chen saw Liu Bei personally leading a troop of cavalry towards him, while Zhang Fei was currently being kept out by the surrounding Soldiers who had come to attack.
Hmph, hmph, good timing!
Zhang Chen sneered inwardly. Wielding the Xuan Tie Si Leng Qiang (Black Iron Four Edged Spear) in his hand, he defeated the Soldiers around him and shouted loudly, "Liu Bei, prepare to die!"
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he spurred his horse forward, charging into the enemy. Any enemy Soldier who got close to him was immediately cut down from their horse.
Before Liu Bei could react, Zhang Chen had already thrust his spear, aiming straight for his chest!
