Wan City.
"Wen He, who is this Cao Shuo? He actually dares to challenge me to a one-on-one battle?”
Zhang Xiu looked at the letter of challenge in his hand, his eyes filled with confusion.
"As far as this old man knows, this Cao Shuo is Cao Cao's second son. He was originally an ignorant, sensual, and unfilial son.”
"This child was burdened by wine and sex and was already terminally ill. Who knew that he would suddenly recover from his illness and take over the throne in a mutiny? That's why he became the head of the Cao family.”
"After that, Cao Shuo led his troops into the palace and forced the Emperor to let him inherit Cao Cao's authority.”
"He even used violence against the emperor and forced the emperor to bestow the empress to him as a concubine!”
Jia Xu stroked his white beard and told him about Cao Shuo's life.
"Using violence against the emperor and even robbing the empress?”
Zhang Xiu's expression changed slightly, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
"This old man was also shocked by the spy's report. I didn't expect Cao Cao's son to be more violent and arrogant than Dong Zhuo.”
Jia Xu was also amazed.
After Zhang Xiu digested the information, he asked,""Then how is his martial arts?"
"A debauchee who is addicted to wine and women all year round, I don't think he has any outstanding martial arts skills.”
Jia Xu speculated, his words mixed with some contempt.
Zhang Xiu smiled.
He smiled disdainfully.
How dare a mediocre rich playboy challenge him, the Spear King of the Northern Lands?
He was overestimating himself!
"Replying to Cao Shuo."
Zhang Xiu threw the letter of challenge, his face burning with pride.
"Tomorrow, I will accept the challenge as promised and send him to the underworld to reunite with his father and brother!”
Jia Xu picked up the letter of challenge and scrutinized it carefully, a hint of doubt appearing between his brows.
"What, Mister Wen He, are you worried that this general isn't a match for that arrogant brat?”
Zhang Xiu saw that Jia Xu's expression was different.
"General's martial arts are peerless. There are very few people in the world who can compete with you.”
"However, this old man is a little confused. Since Cao Shuo was able to mutiny and seize the throne, intimidate the emperor, and easily control the situation in Xudu, he shouldn't be an ordinary person.”
"Since that's the case, why would he be so arrogant? He dares to challenge a general with the strength of a clear enemy?”
Jia Xu voiced out the doubts in his heart.
"Mister Wen He is worrying too much."
Zhang Xiu did not think much of it and sneered,
"In my opinion, that kid is nothing but arrogant.”
"A brat who dares to beat up the emperor and snatch the empress, so conceited that he thinks he can kill me, what's so strange about that?”
Jia Xu was silent.
Looking at the letter of challenge in his hand, although he felt suspicious, he couldn't figure out what was suspicious.
"Wenhe, there's no need to think too much."
"Tomorrow, you will be at the top of the city wall and see how this general will take the life of that yellow-mouthed child in one move!”
Zhang Xiu said domineeringly.
…
The next day.
The gates of Cao Cao's camp opened wide.
The generals led their troops out of the camp and lined up outside the north gate of Wancheng.
Zhang Xiu had already led more than ten thousand Xi Liang soldiers and had been waiting for a long time.
The two armies were separated by two hundred steps, forming a confrontation.
At noon, the appointed time had arrived.
Zhang Xiu rode his horse and raised his spear as he rushed out, directly arriving in front of the two armies.
"The Spear King of the Northern Lands, Zhang Xiu, is here!"
"Cao Shuo, come and die!"
Zhang Xiu pointed his spear at the Cao army and his thunderous words echoed in the air above the two armies.
Cao Cao's army.
Cao Shuo was wearing golden armor and holding the Heavenly Dragon Halberd. His red charcoal dragon steed was burning like a raging fire.
Seeing Zhang Xiu leave the formation as promised, a mysterious sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth.
He was about to go out to battle.
"Ziyao, listen to uncle's advice. Don't act on impulse!”
Cao Ren stopped him and tried to persuade him.
"Sikong, you don't have to put yourself in danger. Let me fight Zhang Xiu for you and avenge my late lord!" Yu Jin said.”
Yue Jin, Li Dian, Cao Hong and other generals all asked to fight, willing to fight Zhang Xiu instead of Cao Shuo.
"You're not joking!"
"Since I've challenged Zhang Xiu to a battle, how can I back out at the last minute and let the world laugh at me!”
Cao Shuo raised his Heavenly Dragon Halberd and shouted at the generals to stop him.
"I know that many of you are not convinced by me.”
"Today, I will behead Zhang Xiu and make you all convinced!”
He clamped the horse's belly and the red charcoal fire dragon Qu Lulu neighed, its four hooves stomping wildly.
The generals did not dare to stop him. They could only feel uneasy and let their new young master go out alone.
"Ziyao is too arrogant!”
"If he is killed by Zhang Xiu in this battle, the Cao family will be finished…"
Cao Ren clenched his fists and watched helplessly as his nephew left.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Cao Shuo reined in his horse and faced Zhang Xiu seven steps away.
Zhang Xiu sized up Cao Shuo. He was only a 15 or 16-year-old youth, and his eyes were filled with contempt.
"Even your father Cao Cao is no match for this general. You, a child, dare to dream of fighting with this general?”
"Cao Shuo, you really overestimate yourself and seek your own death!”
Zhang Xiu pointed his spear at Cao Shuo, his words filled with contempt and arrogance.
Cao Shuo was expressionless. He slowly raised his Heavenly Dragon Halberd and pointed it at Zhang Xiu.
"Dismount and surrender. Kowtow in front of my father and brother's spirits and apologize. I'll give you a dignified corpse!”
"Otherwise, I'll cut off your head today, raze Wan City, and wipe out your entire Zhang family!”
Zhang Xiu's eyes suddenly widened, and his contemptuous expression turned into raging flames.
This Cao Clan youth was arrogant and overbearing, treating him like a worthless ant that couldn't even withstand a single blow.
"Little Cao, I'll send you to see Cao Cao!”
Zhang Xiu shouted and rode out.
A horse was like lightning, the silver spear in his hand carrying the power of raging waves as it whistled over.
Cao Ren and the other generals felt their hearts in their throats.
Before their eyes, the tragic scene of Cao Shuo being stabbed under his horse and losing his life appeared.
And Cao Shuo.
However, he stood on his horse like a towering iron tower.
His eyes were half-closed as if he was looking at the Northern Spear King, who was charging at him like an ant.
Within a few breaths, Zhang Xiu had already rushed in front of him, the tip of his spear sweeping up.
Life and death were right in front of him.
Suddenly.
Cao Shuo's eyes widened. His long arm moved like the wind as he slashed out with the Heavenly Dragon Halberd.
It was as fast as lightning.
The Overlord Halberd Stance with the power to carry the cauldron appeared in front of Zhang Xiu in an instant.
"What a fast halberd stance!"
"Impossible!"
Zhang Xiu's expression changed as if he had seen a ghost.
It was too late.
In a flash, the Heavenly Dragon Halberd swept across.
"Puff!"
A bloody head flew into the air.
