Global Game: My Divine Skills Reach Full Level Automatically-Chapter 226: Zhang Fei and Guan Yu (4/16)
On the right, a man stood: nine feet tall, hair two feet long, a face like a red date, with phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows. Tall and upright, imposing and awe-inspiring, he squinted slightly, resembling a god overlooking mortals from the heavens.
"Hehe."
The man whose hands reached past his knees was Liu Bei. He smiled slightly:
"If you, Cao Mengde, can come, why can't I, Liu Bei?"
"You, a mere mat-weaver and sandal seller, dare to come here."
Cao Mengde had yet to speak.
A refined man with a feather fan and a gauze scarf glanced at Liu Bei, sneering:
"What makes you think Ding Ling would choose you? What do you have to win over Ding Ling?"
"Hann Sui."
Behind Liu Bei, a round-eyed man was enraged:
"You're asking for death!"
With a shake of his snake spear, he intended to pierce Hann Sui.
From behind Hann Sui emerged a towering eight-foot man, also wielding a heavy iron spear, exuding a presence as formidable as a mountain. As he approached to battle, he emanated a menacing aura as if he had emerged from a sea of blood and corpses!
He shook his iron spear and thrust forward as well.
Clang!
The snake spear and iron spear clashed in mid-air, sending sparks flying. Both the round-eyed man and the towering man trembled slightly from the impact, resulting in a draw.
"Such impressive skill."
Cao Mengde's pupils narrowed slightly, smiling and advising:
"You both are heroic figures, so don't brawl in front of our host's home. If you displease the host here, do you think you'll still have a chance?"
"Humph."
Hann Sui snorted coldly, turning away from Liu Bei:
"I disdain staying with a hypocrite who constantly proclaims himself a descendant of Zhongshan Jing King. I'm going in first."
He and the towering man, along with several other mighty warriors, stepped into the Yuan Mansion, which was now renamed 'Ding Mansion'!
The characters on the Ding Mansion plaque were personally carved by Ding Ling, imbued with grand and majestic strokes, clearly the work of a master.
Cao Mengde and his group had once marveled at this.
Of course, now, due to this conflict, everyone's thoughts were mixed.
But it was certain that Liu Bei felt particularly depressed and unhappy. Turning, he instructed the round-eyed man:
"Third brother, you must stay calm. Once we enter Ding Mansion, do not resort to violence! Anger Ding Ling, and wasn't our long journey here for nothing?"
The round-eyed man protested:
"Big brother, many say Ding Ling can break city gates with one sword, travel like a flying immortal, traverse the void, and fight a nation alone! Don't you think this is exaggerated? In my opinion, Ding Ling is someone who basks in vanity and fame, not worth the effort to visit!"
He looked at the nine-foot man with a face like a red date:
"Second brother, don't you agree?"
"This..."
The nine-foot man pondered for a moment, nodding:
"Indeed, the rumors are greatly exaggerated. Lü Bu is already considered top-tier martial prowess. But according to the populace, Ding Ling could crush ten, even a hundred Lü Bus. So, if third brother and I joined forces, shouldn't we stand a chance against him? Big brother, do you think it's possible?"
Liu Bei was uncertain.
Beside him, Cao Mengde seemed to overhear their conversation, approaching Liu Bei with a smile:
"To find out the truth, why not let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei try it out?"
He spoke with a face full of admiration:
"Guan Yu wows the world with a single battle. Zhang Fei's roar echoes through Jiuzhou. Your two virtuous brothers are unparalleled in bravery, rarely matched in the world. If they can defeat Ding Ling together, it proves he's just a pretentious figure, not to be feared. But if Ding Ling easily defeats Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, then..."
"Impossible?!"
Before Cao Mengde could finish speaking.
The round-eyed man, Zhang Fei, roared, like thunder exploding, making Cao Mengde's ears buzz.
He glanced at Zhang Fei with twitching eyebrows.
Zhang Fei exclaimed:
"I can fight Lü Bu for a hundred rounds. Lü Bu is known as the Flying General, the world's greatest! Even if Ding Ling can rival Lü Bu, how could he easily defeat second brother and me together?"
"I was just speaking casually."
Cao Mengde gave an awkward smile:
"Don't take it so seriously."
"Humph."
Zhang Fei clenched his fists, full of battle intent:
"I'll test Ding Ling later to see how strong he truly is!"
"Third brother."
Liu Bei was a bit anxious:
"We're here to visit Ding Ling, hoping for his recognition, not to challenge him."
Zhang Fei shook his head, disagreeing:
"Big brother, we're visiting a divine being! If he's truly as capable as the people say, he shouldn't bother with trifles! Just sparring a bit; he shouldn't refuse.
If he's always evasive, it proves he's merely boastful. Why should we spend so much effort and time visiting someone like that?"
Cao Mengde clapped and praised:
"Zhang Fei is right. A test will reveal everything. Just a little competition, and we'll see the truth."
Liu Bei coldly looked at Cao Mengde:
"Then why don't you dispatch Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun?"
Behind Cao Mengde stood two imposing figures.
One was burly and strong, holding a long spear, exuding authority without anger.
The other was over nine feet tall, nearly a yard in height, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his face fierce and ugly, holding dual halberds, evoking the presence of an ancient beast.
They were Xiahou Dun and Dian Wei!
Cao Mengde kept inciting Zhang Fei to fight Ding Ling but didn't mention dispatching Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun. His intentions were clear.
The reason was obvious.
Liu Bei was naturally furious, almost pointing at Cao Mengde and calling him shameless.
"Though Xiahou Dun and Dian Wei are brave, they're no match for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu."
Cao Mengde's eyes shone brightly as he gazed at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei:
"You two shook the world at Hulao Pass. You're super-elite experts. If you fight Ding Ling, observers will have a good measure."
"Indeed."
Zhang Fei, invigorated, exclaimed loudly:
"Can't wait to test Ding Ling's mettle."
Liu Bei, infuriated, gestured to Zhang Fei to no avail.
Growing more apprehensive and spiteful towards Cao Mengde, he couldn't resist his dissatisfaction.
Cao Mengde ignored Liu Bei's gaze and expressions.
On the way, he continuously incited Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
Guan Yu, steady and proud, didn't speak much, but clearly enjoyed the flattery from power figures like Cao Mengde. Hearing his words, his stern face gradually relaxed.
Zhang Fei was visibly eager and excited.
Seeing this, Liu Bei wished to distance himself from Cao Mengde.
But Cao Mengde closely followed them, conversing endlessly with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun remained silent, just curiously and cautiously observing the surroundings of Ding Mansion.
