Chapter 35: The Defeat of Liu, Guan, and Zhang
In addition to the "three levels" of martial arts in this world, the martial arts are also divided into five levels based on the strength and martial arts skills of the person practicing martial arts.

From low to high, they are third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate generals.

As well as top-notch generals and peerless generals.

Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Hua Xiong, Li Jue, Guo Si and others are all first-rate generals. They can easily defeat ordinary generals and can also fight against top-notch generals.

The sign is that a single weapon is practiced to perfection.

That is the "first level" of a warrior.

Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others are top-notch generals who not only have amazing powers, but are also proficient in all kinds of martial arts and can use their own unique weapons!
At the "second level" of a warrior.

On top of this, the only three "peerless generals" in the original novel have reached the realm of "unity of man and soldier"!

But only during the peak period.

Guan Yu now is just top-notch, and Zhao Yun has not achieved "the unity of man and spear", but Lu Bu has. Even without the pressure from Ji Hao, Lu Bu at Hulao Pass is still at the peak, a true "best among men", one of a kind in the world.

How could Guan Yu not be shocked?

"He is not a nobody, he just got his reputation in vain!" Lu Bu was also astonished at Guan Yu's strength. He did not expect that this unknown person who suddenly appeared was actually a top-notch general.

But there was no hesitation in his hands.

The Fang Tian Huaji changed its moves again, using axes, halberds, hooks and forks, and all kinds of martial arts came to his mind.

It has to be said that even though they are both "peerless", Lu Bu is the strongest peerless: he uses the "Fang Tian Hua Ji" which combines eighteen kinds of weapons in one. After man and weapon become one, the advantages he brings out are greater than ordinary weapons.

Although this slight difference cannot determine the outcome, the slightest other factor, such as being hurt by alcohol and sex, can offset it.

But after all, Guan Yu was not the one who rode Red Hare to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and who was determined to either kill the enemy or himself with one strike of the sword. Guan Yu thought that his elder brother was dead and there was little meaning in living, so every move he made was the strongest.

After the Battle of Red Cliff, he might not have been as strong as he was when he fought Huang Zhong.

Not now.

As a result, he found it increasingly strenuous, and after about a hundred rounds, his condition began to decline due to the long-term mental tension. By the time he reached the one hundred and fifty rounds, he was already feeling exhausted.

He managed to hold on for 180 rounds, but he couldn't hold on any longer and showed signs of defeat.

I was very confused: "How did Ji Hao manage to tie with a freak like Lu Bu? Could it be that he didn't use his full strength in the battle at the granary three years ago? Or has he cultivated his martial arts to perfection in three years?"

On the other hand, Liu Bei's face changed immediately when he saw Guan Yu showing signs of defeat.

"Third brother, go quickly!"

He also used Ji Hao as a reference, and believed that Ji Hao was slightly lower than Guan and Zhang, and equal to Lu Bu, which was almost equivalent to Guan and Zhang being greater than Lu Bu, and even above the "two greatest in the world".

But he didn't expect that Guan Yu was no match for Lu Bu.

If you continue to fight, you will either be defeated or die!

"Hey, you slave of three surnames, look at the gun!" Zhang Fei suddenly rushed over and stabbed Lu Bu with his Zhangba Snake Spear, fighting against him on behalf of Guan Yu. His extraordinary strength made Lu Bu, who had already fought for nearly two hundred rounds, feel under great pressure.

But he is more skilled in martial arts.

In the first few dozen rounds, the fight was very close, but after a hundred rounds, there was still no winner.

But after 130 rounds, Lü Bu suddenly jumped off his horse and threw his Fang Tian Hua Ji at Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei tried to block it subconsciously, but found that Lü Bu used the downward force to exert a force far beyond his own.

It exploded in an instant and smashed the Zhangba Snake Spear to the ground.

Then, without waiting for Zhang Fei to react, the warhorse caught Lu Bu, carried him forward, and chopped at him with the Fang Fang Tian Hua Ji.

It seemed that Zhang Fei was about to be killed.

Guan Yu, who had recovered some strength, rushed forward and blocked the attack. Liu Bei also rode his horse to join the battlefield. The three brothers besieged Lu Bu. Compared with Guan and Zhang, Liu Bei was indeed much weaker, barely first-rate, and not necessarily stronger than Hua Xiong.

But he is first-rate after all, and definitely not a drag.

Even Lu Bu could not withstand the siege of three people.

Especially the war horse under the crotch.

Even Red Hare couldn't withstand the force of four people fighting, let alone an ordinary warhorse?

However, Lu Bu also has someone to support him.

"This is outrageous! They are shameless and besieged Fengxian!" said Guo Si.

Li Jue rode his horse and rushed over, saying, "What are you talking about? Let's go together and kill them!"

So, the original "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu" became a three-on-three battle.

Lu Bu fought Guan Yu, Li Jue fought Zhang Fei, and Guo Si fought Liu Bei.

What level are Generals Li and Guo?

Dong Zhuo had four generals under his command. Hua Xiong, who followed him the earliest, could only be ranked fourth, while Li Jue and Guo Si were ranked second and third respectively. After Wang Yun successfully used the beauty trap, Lu Bu guarded the capital and couldn't even defeat the two of them!

There was the factor of soldiers, but at least, those two people were not someone that Lu Bu could kill quickly.

It is also a first-class existence.

Guan Yu, the only one who could kill the first-class quickly, was held back by Lu Bu. Zhang Fei's physical strength was already greatly depleted and he could not defeat the enemy in a short period of time. Liu Bei was simply no match for him.

So in the end, Liu, Guan and Zhang were beaten and fled in defeat.

Zhao Yun wanted to go to the battle, but Cao Cao persuaded him not to do so. He said, "If Lü Bu does not follow the moral code of war and joins forces with Generals Li and Guo to kill you, is there anyone who can save you when the lord is not around?"

In response, Zhao Yun looked at the direction of Dong Zhuo's army and ultimately did not go into battle.

It's not that I'm scared.

In fact, according to his idea, let alone that Lu Bu only had three people, even if he was still in the 300,000-strong Xiliang army, he, Zhao Zilong, would not be afraid. Instead, he was eager to try and wanted to kill him seven times in the 300,000-strong army.

But after following Ji Hao for three years, he learned to be steady.

When the lord goes into seclusion, the two of them can defeat the enemy together, so why should I risk my life?

As a result, no prince could go to war anymore.

Even though some people suggested a three-on-three battle between "Guan, Zhang and Zhao" and "Lü, Li and Guo", with Zhao Yun replacing Liu Bei, it was stopped by Cao Cao because Lü Bu was always a difficult person to deal with.

"Come here, use the golden pot to get two pots of good wine!"

Finally, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, carried two pots of wine and went to Ji Hao's camp.

At this time, Ji Hao was forging iron inside, and he was almost done - the refining of the magic weapon was not as troublesome as refining fine steel a hundred times, because the main ingredient, black iron, did not need to be hammered.

Without refined gold, it is softer than raw iron.

With the addition of refined gold, it is still easy to hammer as long as it does not cool. Once it is quenched, it will become extremely hard and will not melt even if heated again.

At this time, the refined gold has been added but has not cooled down yet.

It has been completed and is being quenched, but no one knows if it's because the temperature is too high or because of the addition of the "Star Stone", the "dragon eye" with the "coiled dragon pattern" at the junction of the gun head and the gun body has been glowing red when placed in water.

The quenching water was almost dried up, but it was still red.

"The divine fire never stops. This is the sign of the birth of a top-level divine weapon. My lord, quickly drop your blood on the divine fire to temper the divine weapon with blood!" Zhao Yun said.

　ps: The magic weapons are refined with blood, which can be understood as special substances needing human blood to quench. This book will learn from the lesson of the previous book and will not be written as a fantasy. At most, it will only have some of the mysteries that already exist in the original work.
