Maple Leaf Valley.
In autumn, the maple leaves were falling, and the mountains were painted with fire. Water rolled down from the mountains.
The setting sun shone through the gaps in the maple trees, casting the shadows of the trees on the stream.
Han Shang sprinted through the forest, soaring up and stepping on rocks. An hour later, he finally reached the peak of the mountain.
On the other side of the mountain was Maple Leaf Valley. A few teams of soldiers guarded the entrance of the valley. The scenery inside the valley was mesmerizing, but Han Shang's heart was on fire and he was not in the mood to appreciate it. He ran down the mountain and saw a large lake in the valley from afar. There seemed to be someone floating in the air on the surface of the lake.
Han Shang was dumbstruck when he reached his waist halfway up the mountain. He looked at the lake in disbelief.
A man was floating above the lake. He had strong muscles and translucent skin. His long hair hung down in the middle. His eyes were like bright stars and his nose was like an eagle's hook. He looked almost evil and handsome.
Opposite him was a tall woman holding a sharp sword. Although her back was facing Han Shang and her face could not be seen clearly, he could clearly feel the fear and despair in her heart. The sharp sword slashed across her throat, and red sprayed out. Her delicate body fell to the ground, and the blood fused with the maple leaves.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, as if it was mourning the woman in a pool of blood.
He finally saw the woman's appearance clearly. It was the peerless beauty that Han Shang had been longing for day and night, Xiu 'er or Diao Chan.
Han Shang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The flames of grief and indignation rushed up to his head. His entire body trembled, and his eyes turned red. Jealousy burned his heart." Ah!" The Life and Death True Qi in his body was in a mess, and his body was on fire.
" Why? God, I hate it!" Han Shang's eyes were bloodshot.
At this moment, Han Shang hated the heavens, the earth, and the people. Kill him, I must kill him, regardless of whether he is Lu Bu or not.
The zhenqi in his body was in a mess. His face was red and black, and blood kept flowing out of his eyes. His face became stiff, and in just a moment, his muscles became stiff. White light shot out from his body, and he lost his last bit of vitality.
The muscles on his body turned into reefs, and his entire body began to crack. Slowly, his face began to crack and fall off like a reef, turning into a stone man.
Han Shang turned into a petrified man.
The evil-looking man floating above the lake looked at Han Shang with a lightning-like gaze. He sneered in disdain and ignored him.
Time passed. A month later.
On Maple Leaf Mountain, a stone statue was covered in maple leaves.
The maple leaves on the ground moved a little, and after a quarter of an hour, they moved again. As the maple leaves moved violently, a stone man broke out of the ground.
The golem kept cracking, and the stones fell off one by one. A slender man stood proudly in the forest. His skin was crystal clear, shining with a dazzling luster. His appearance was handsome, weak, and rough. The two completely opposite temperaments perfectly combined on one person, giving people the feeling of being well-versed in both martial arts and martial arts.
His figure flashed and disappeared into the forest.
Ye City of Jizhou was bustling with people.
A man with an extraordinary bearing was walking on the street. His steps were slow, but with just one step, he was already a thousand feet away. It was extremely strange.
On the second floor of the Recruitment Pavilion, it was noisy and lively, and the long tables were filled to the brim.
" I didn't expect to be so prosperous and successful after leaving this place for a few months," the man muttered softly as he sat at the long table by the window.
A scholar sitting on a long table in the distance caught the man's attention. The man was in his early twenties. His face was pale and weak, but his eyes were deep and wise, as if he was thinking about something interesting.
A few people were talking at the other table.
" The Prefecture Overseer has not returned from Chang 'an. Although we are here to be officials, we have not been able to see our master for months. We are depressed," a young man said as he took a sip of wine.
" I heard from Lord Jushou that it's almost time. The lord should be back from Chang 'an. Now that the new law has been completed, we can explain ourselves," another scholar said.
Suddenly, an angry shout came from downstairs, shaking the entire Recruitment Pavilion.
" Someone's using force!" A shout came from downstairs.
Following that, the sounds of fighting came from the street. Two burly men on the street were also using knives. Their qi was everywhere, and the peddlers on the street abandoned their goods and fled.
One of them was Guan Chun, Di Wu's right-hand man, and the other had a square face and a long beard. He wore a strange bamboo hat and his saber moved fiercely. The Vital Energy Tank was on top of the saber, and every slash was as powerful as a thousand catties.
The man on the second floor muttered,""This person's martial arts are extraordinary, even stronger than when I left Wing Prefecture. He has reached the realm of Man and Saber as one, Qi infusing into the steel saber.”
Guan Chun was at a complete disadvantage in the arena. He struggled to parry the attack, and the door was wide open.
Another furious roar was heard. The surrounding spectators were so shocked that their scalps went numb and they covered their ears. The macheteman flew up and slashed heavily on Guan Chun's steel saber. The Qi burst out like a wave and spread in all directions.
Guan Chun was not affected by the force of the blade. He dropped the steel blade and knelt on one knee, leaving a deep footprint on the ground.
Guan Chun was defeated and couldn't even receive twenty moves.
"Who dares to be so impudent here?" A voice came from afar.
A white shadow streaked across the sky and pounced on the sabersman. Clang! The sabersman held his saber in front of his chest and retreated. He stood 30 meters away and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale.
At this moment, a young general appeared in the middle of the street. He wore a white dragon helmet and a ghost-patterned devil armor. He stood straight and pointed a long spear at the machetemen who were ten feet away. He stood in the middle of the street with a heroic aura.
" General Zilong!" Guan Chun was overjoyed. He quickly stood up and bowed to Zhao Zilong.
The saberman looked at Zhao Zilong and laughed,"" So it's General Zilong. No wonder you're so skilled. I'm Zhou Cang."
Zhao Zilong looked at Zhou Cang and cupped his hands." You're very skilled. My lord will be like a tiger with wings if you help him."”
Zhou Cang laughed out loud when he heard this." It's already very difficult for me to last ten moves against General Zilong. How can I dare to say that my upper body is extraordinary?"
Zhao Zilong turned to Guan Chun and said,"Get a room in the Recruitment Pavilion for Warrior Zhou Cang to stay in. We'll arrange for him to take up his duties when the lord returns." Zhou Cang cupped his hands in thanks.
The scholars and warriors who came to the Recruitment Pavilion were all defected to Jizhou. All the expenses of being able to book a room in the Recruitment Pavilion were forced, so of course, it attracted many swindlers to eat and drink.
Just now, Zhou Cang wanted to get a room downstairs, but he met Guan Chun's suspicion and ridicule, resulting in a fight.
At this moment, the city patrol soldiers caught up. Today, it was Zhao Zilong who led the patrol. Coincidentally, they encountered someone causing trouble and could not help but try their skills.
Zhao Zilong was about to continue patrolling the city when he suddenly felt a familiar aura on the second floor. He was overjoyed and ran up.
On the second floor, Zhao Zilong looked excitedly at the young man sitting at the long table by the window. He bent his knees and was about to kneel down, but he suddenly felt a strong force pulling him down.
" Zilong, come and sit." The young man's tone was irresistible.
Zhao Zilong was surprised. He walked over and sat down, saying softly,""Since my lord has returned to Jizhou, why didn't you go back to the Mu Estate first and come to the Recruitment Pavilion instead?”
The young man was the resurrected Han Shang.
Han Shang waved his hand and said,"It's the right decision to come to the Recruitment Pavilion. I'm fortunate to have the chance to witness Zilong's peerless style."
Zhao Zilong laughed and said," My lord, I haven't seen you for a month. You seem to have changed into a different person. I think you must have had a fortuitous encounter. Just that force just now, you have already reached the Tao Realm."
Han Shang smiled but did not say anything. He paused for a moment and said," Go and invite the young man over to have a chat with me."
