Despite knowing he was no match for Lü Bu, Tan Shihuai still had no intention of backing down.

As the chieftain of the Xianbei, if he chooses to flee, his prestige will suffer a devastating blow, and it will not be so easy for him to lead those noble leaders again.

Thinking of this, Tan Shihuai calmed down, his eyes fixed on Lu Bu charging towards him, ready to strike at any moment.

Seeing the poised and ready Tan Shihuai, Lu Bu, who was charging at full speed, couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, the Xianbei cavalry that were gathering around Tan Shihuai were less than 500 meters away from him.

Lu Bu knew that if he couldn't defeat him in one round, then everything would be over.

Just then, Li Ru, who was following behind Tan Shihuai, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to himself.

His action was seen by Lü Bu, who was keeping a close eye on Tan Shihuai.

With Red Hare galloping at top speed, Lü Bu had already rushed to within twenty paces of Tan Shihuai in just a few breaths.

Lu Bu raised his halberd and thrust it straight at Tan Shihuai's face.

Seeing this, Tan Shihuai quickly bent down and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

Just as Tan Shihuai was preparing to raise his spear to counterattack, he saw Lü Bu directly pass by him and charge backward.

"not good!!"

Upon seeing this, Tan Shihuai was startled and quickly turned his head to look.

Lu Bu had already rushed up to Li Ru, who seemed to be frightened. He sat blankly on the horse, letting Lu Bu grab his collar, pull him off the horse, and then wrap his arms around him.

"Whoa!"

After galloping for more than ten meters, Lü Bu pulled on the reins, stopped, turned his horse around to face Tan Shihuai, and then drew his long sword, holding it to Li Ru's neck.

"don't want!!"

Upon seeing this, Tan Shihuai hurriedly shouted at Lü Bu.
