Chapter 123 The charm of that sword—the terrifying Blue Dragon Slash!
"Ha ha."

Accompanied by a hearty laugh, Yuan Shao regained his initial confidence and wisdom.

He looked at Guan Yu with burning eyes: "General Guan, do you want to serve a dead man?"

"Although you are extremely powerful, can you possibly withstand the siege of a huge army?"

Xia Mu, who was standing behind Guan Yu, also smiled and stepped forward, pretending to be familiar with him, and patted Guan Yu on the shoulder: "Brother Yunchang, those who obey will prosper, and those who disobey will perish. This is an eternal theorem!"

"Don't go down the same path until the end."

Guan Yu sneered: "Is it wise for you to be a fence-sitter?"

Xia Mu frowned slightly: "I obeyed the will of heaven, followed the order of the general, and assisted the prince to ascend the throne. What's wrong with that?"

Guan Yu laughed and said, "He who betrays his master and cowardly, speaks in a high-sounding manner!"

"Although I despise being below a eunuch, I despise being associated with you even more!"

After he finished speaking, the handle of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand turned around his body, and the blade head chopped directly towards Xia Mu's neck.

How could Xia Mou have imagined that Guan Yu would turn against him so easily?
But I felt a flash of green light before my eyes, and I had no time to react. Everything went dark and my neck felt cold.

Blood spurted out of his throat, Xia Mu looked at Guan Yu unwillingly: "Why? I didn't provoke you."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "If you hadn't ruined my plan, would a villain like you deserve to die under my Azure Dragon Crescent Blade?"

Xia Mu's eyes were filled with confusion. He didn't understand the reason at all. His body went limp and he fell heavily to the ground.

The atmosphere, which had just eased, became tense again.

Wen Chou's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "My lord, since such a person cannot be used, why not kill him?"

Yuan Shao looked at Guan Yu sternly, and as he quietly retreated, he said loudly: "All troops, listen up. Jian Shuo conspired to rebel and has been killed. Although you followed him, you were unaware of his scheme, and the court will not pursue you."

"Now I will kill the remnants of the traitors."

"A reward of 1,000 taels, 100 beauties, and a promotion of five ranks will be offered to anyone who kills Guan Yu!"

"The compensation for the deceased is three times higher."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of many officers and generals present flashed with a fiery light.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

One after another, the soldiers rushed towards Guan Yu.

Wen Chou was also excited, but before he could go forward, Yuan Shao stopped him: "Wait until he is exhausted, then you can kill him and take revenge!"

Wen Chou's eyes sparkled: "Thank you, my lord!"

"Brothers, form a battle formation. Even if it takes time to exhaust him today, we must exhaust him to death!"

"With the imperial court backing us up, what is there to be afraid of?"

Amid countless scorching gazes, more than a thousand people surrounded and attacked Guan Yu.

Guan Yu had less than a hundred people around him.

Looking at these fearless soldiers coming forward, Guan Yu was not afraid at all, but extremely excited.

"Start the battle formation!!"

"Three Talents Heaven-Slaying Battle Formation!"

As the roar was heard, the hundred or so personal soldiers following Guan Yu began to practice their mental skills.

After a while, the three of them formed a battle formation, and their aura increased by several times.

At the same time, a terrifying aura gathered towards Guan Yu. At this moment, Guan Yu was like a god descending from heaven, and just a glance could make people feel infinite pressure.

“Blue Dragon Slash!!”

With a loud shout, Guan Yu swung the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand fiercely from top to bottom towards the front.

A green blade light more than ten feet long swept out.

The hundreds of soldiers in front of them felt a terrifying force rushing into their bodies. They tried their best to resist, but looks of pain still appeared on their faces.

"Ah!!" A soldier screamed, and after that, the life force of his internal organs was cut off. His eyes went black, and he had no idea what was happening, and his body fell to the ground.

With one move of Qinglong Slash, more than a hundred people fell in a pool of blood.

The direct impact of this scene was even more terrifying than the killing of Yan Liang just now.

All the soldiers who were driven by money woke up instantly.

The Guan Yu in front of them is a killing god, how can they be his opponent?
Even if I kill him in the end, will I get the reward?

I'm afraid I've already died, so what's the use of any more rewards by then?
Fear, terror, all kinds of emotions emerged. Thousands of people surrounded Guan Yu, who was less than a hundred people, but no one dared to move.

Yuan Shao's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten feces.

"Wen Chou, you."

Before he could even ask the question, he saw that Wen Chou's face wasn't much better than his, so he didn't need to ask anything he wanted to ask.

"Meng De, what should we do?"

Cao Cao came back to his senses and looked at Guan Yu with fear: "This man's martial power is hard to find in the world. The only way now is to reconcile!"

"reconciliation?"

"But what about the person who just died?"

Cao Cao sneered: "If you don't want to reconcile, just let people surround and kill you!"

"Let me see if your head can block Guan Yu's attack?"

Yuan Shao shrank his head subconsciously. If he had not seen Guan Yu killing people like slaughtering chickens, he would not be afraid. But now.
He killed Yan Liang first, and then killed more than a hundred elite soldiers with one sword. How could he not be afraid?
"Meng De, you are on good terms with General Guan, I wonder if you can..."

At this point, before Cao Cao could refute, Yuan Shao spoke again: "The officials in the court have entrusted us with important tasks. We should not ruin them for our own selfish reasons."

"So, you see."

These few words blocked Cao Cao's sarcastic words. He was silent for a long time, sighed deeply, and stepped forward a few steps: "General Guan, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

When Guan Yu saw that it was Cao Cao, he did not refuse and stopped the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, which was killing crazily.

"But it doesn't matter!"

Cao Cao said: "The general will not work for a eunuch. The only person he is worried about is Marshal Ye."

"I think the situation has been decided now. Marshal Ye is a great man of the time. How could he follow these eunuchs and make trouble?"

"Let's go to the palace together to welcome the crown prince to the throne. We will all be rewarded then. Isn't that a good thing?"

This is what Guan Yu was waiting for. He did not forget the task Ye Feng assigned to him.

His heart softened, but the solemnity on Guan Yu's face did not ease. He pondered for a long time, and his phoenix eyes shot out a brilliant light: "Each of you relies on your ability to gather the surrendered soldiers."

"We can do it together, but the army must be in my hands."

"Otherwise, let's fight it out. I want to see how good you are."

Cao Cao felt the determination in Guan Yu's eyes and considered carefully. He felt that as long as Ye Feng defected, the overall situation would be decided and the military power would not determine his future status.

He nodded immediately: "Yes!"

Guan Yu pointed his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade at Yuan Shao: "Where are they?"

Yuan Shao naturally also heard the conversation between the two and felt uncomfortable, but when he looked at the cold light on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and thought of Guan Yu's terrifying Green Dragon Slash just now, he nodded subconsciously.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both agreed, so Chunyu Qiong, Bao Hong and others naturally would not object.

Seeing everyone nodding, Guan Yu raised his lips slightly and saluted: "In half an hour, we will march to the palace!"

"Goodbye!"

"Walk!!"

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the encirclement of thousands of people with his head held high, accompanied by more than a hundred personal soldiers.

The shouting and killing in the center ended, and the fighting outside naturally began to decrease. Needless to say, both sides scrambled for the surrendered soldiers.
