At Xu Hai's command, all of the more than one hundred soldiers around him moved, their gleaming knives blinding everyone.
The other people had already hidden far away and watched this scene unfold.
This is something you don't usually see.
Sun Jian stood before Xu Hai, his expression unchanged.
Even when surrounded by more than 100 people, he was not afraid.
My combat strength has now reached over 80, while these ordinary soldiers only have 50 or 60 at most.
Dealing with them is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
Are you sure you want to get back at me?
Sun Jian spoke slowly, his eyes undisguisedly provocative as he looked at Xu Hai.
"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you openly injure people in the city and then boast so arrogantly! Seize him!"
Xu Hai was furious.
Through the crowd, he had already seen a person lying on the ground, about to die.
If he's not mistaken, it should be his good cousin Xu Jiang.
"I never expected this. You two are truly cousins; your brains are as thick as pig brains."
"Wait until you see what's written on this sign with your dog eyes."
Sun Jian took out that pitch-black plaque.
However, Xu Hai didn't even glance at it.
"All soldiers, listen to my command! This man dares to impersonate the Deputy Commandant of the Tiger Legion. Take him down! I, the Lieutenant General, will bear any responsibility for this."
Upon hearing this, Xu Hai's soldiers no longer hesitated and rushed to attack Sun Jian.
Sun Jian showed no fear and charged forward.
But what shocked Xu Hai was what happened.
His men rushed in quickly, but flew out even faster.
With a single palm strike, Sun Jian sent the soldiers flying as if they had been hit by something, crashing heavily to the ground.
In mild cases, the patient vomits several mouthfuls of blood and clutches their stomach; in severe cases, they suffer broken bones and lie on the ground screaming in pain.
Xu Hai's expression changed upon seeing how fierce Sun Jian was.
He's definitely not someone to be trifled with; no wonder Xu Jiang was able to defeat him.
Gu Hu also joined the battle without hesitation.
With the two men standing one in front and one behind, the soldiers were unable to get close to him in a short time.
Seeing this, Xu Hai said angrily.
"You all get out of my way."
As he spoke, Xu Hai rode his horse step by step to Sun Jian's side.
Seeing that Xu Hai was about to make a move, Gu Hu quickly stepped in front of Sun Jian.
“My benefactor, this Xu Hai is not easy to deal with. He is more capable than Xu Jiang, and he is also meticulous and ruthless. Let me handle it.”
Gu Hu spoke quietly.
However, Sun Jian shook his head.
Xu Hai is not like Xu Jiang after all. He wants to see what choice Xu Hai will make when he knows that he is the deputy captain of the Tiger Legion.
Sun Jian went to meet him.
Xu Hai also dismounted and landed steadily on the ground.
He looked Sun Jian up and down.
"Boy, you didn't even kneel before me, and your expression was completely indifferent. It's no wonder that Xu Jiang lost to you."
Xu Hai spoke slowly.
"How can a piece of trash like Xu Jiang be compared to me?"
"I am the Deputy Commandant of the Tiger Guard, personally appointed by His Majesty. How dare you stop me from leaving the city gate? You are courting death."
Sun Jian spoke coldly.
Upon hearing Sun Jian's words, Xu Hai's expression changed.
Regardless of whether he was Sun Jian or not, his tone was truly arrogant.
"It's laughable that you think you can confirm my identity with just a sign."
"Mr. Sun was personally appointed by His Majesty and is favored by him. He is also the Crown Prince's study companion. He should be in the palace now, so how could he be here?"
"Besides, this man has long been abandoned and is no longer needed. He is also an accomplice of traitors. Your Majesty's decision not to kill him is already an extraordinary act of mercy."
"Could someone who's with this kind of person be the deputy captain of the Tiger Legion?"
"I'm afraid it was you who stole Mr. Sun's token and used it to swindle people with Gu Hu, this servant."
"After being seen through by General Xu, he became enraged and thus committed murder."
Xu Hai spoke very loudly.
He wanted to define the nature of this matter in front of everyone.
Otherwise, he would have already made his move.
If Sun Jian really was the deputy commander of the Tiger Army and the Prince's Peninsula.
He has now committed a grave offense of disrespect.
He now only has one path left to take: to the bitter end.
No matter what, Xu Jiang was his subordinate.
His own men were humiliated by Sun Jian in this way.
If he were to submit to Sun Jian without uttering a word, he would no longer be able to hold the position of General of the Central Army.
But what if Sun Jian really was the Deputy Commandant of the Tiger Army?
He, a mere junior officer, was no match for him.
Now, Xu Hai can only make the same choice as Xu Jiang did back then.
"Hehe, you really are like an old sow wearing one bra after another."
"Are you going to do it yourself next, just like your good-for-nothing cousin?"
"But I must warn you, if you retreat now, kneel down, and apologize to me, there's still room for negotiation. Otherwise, you might end up like your cousin."
Upon hearing Sun Jian's blatant provocation, Xu Hai could no longer hold back and drew his demon sword with a whoosh.
"You audacious madman, you're asking for death! I'll chop you up first!"
Without saying a word, Xu Hai slashed at Sun Jian with his sword.
But Sun Jian wasn't stupid; after all, he had already invested quite a bit in Agility.
He slightly turned his body to dodge the sharp attack. Then he stepped on the long sword.
With a cracking sound, Sun Jian, with his martial prowess of over 80, shattered the long sword with a single stomp.
Xu Hai was stunned as he watched his longsword shatter.
This was the longsword that had been with him for 12 years.
Unexpectedly, this item, though undamaged, was destroyed by Sun Jian on the battlefield.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I couldn't control my strength."
"I should have kicked you instead."
Sun Jian responded with a smile.
Xu Hai, with a sullen face, remained silent.
He hadn't expected that Sun Jian's seemingly frail body could unleash such immense power.
If that kick had landed on me, I'd probably have broken seven or eight of my ribs.
Seeing that Sun Jian's strength was so great, Xu Hai was not afraid and snorted coldly, and went to meet him with his bare hands.
But Sun Jian was faster; he turned around and was behind him in one swift motion. Then he kicked out.
"Someone like you thinks he can fight me? You're just a piece of trash."
"Since you've decided to go down this path to the bitter end, then I'll grant your wish."
"Every single one of you here today who doesn't kneel before me is going to get your heads chopped off."
"I am the Deputy Commandant of the Tiger Guard, personally appointed by His Majesty, and also the Crown Prince's tutor."
"I will only say this one last time."
"Is it expensive or not?"
Upon hearing Sun Jian's words, the other soldiers all turned to look at Xu Hai.
"How dare you brutes offend Mr. Sun? How many lives do you have to be beheaded?"
At that moment, a soft, feminine voice came from Sun Jian's side.
He turned around and was shocked to find that it was the Second Prince, whom he had met once before.
