Zhao Yun's eyes flickered as he fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Zhao Yun refused to admit defeat for a long time, Zhang Xiu impatiently shouted, "Zhao Yun, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Use them now! Otherwise, you won't have another chance to use them!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and recalled the details of his practice of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear.
Suddenly, Zhao Yun opened his eyes, his gaze resolute, and his spear was instantly drawn.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp spear light ripped through the air and struck Zhang Xiu.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu frowned slightly. He hadn't expected Zhao Yun to make a sudden move, so he quickly swung his spear to defend himself.
"Ding ding ding!"
The gun tip struck the shaft, producing a series of crisp sounds.
Zhao Yun seemed to wield his spear as one with himself, like a nimble venomous snake, launching a cunning attack on Zhang Xiu.
His approach has completely changed, and it is entirely different from the original Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique!
Zhang Xiu frowned. He sensed danger. Although he had never encountered such a situation before, he noticed that Zhao Yun seemed to have grasped something.
But with the die already cast, Zhang Xiu had no choice but to fight.
Zhang Xiu was highly skilled in martial arts. Although he was caught off guard at first, he quickly regained his composure and engaged Zhao Yun in battle.
The two grew faster and faster, and after several rounds, they were evenly matched.
But Zhang Xiu became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, because Zhao Yun's fighting style had undergone a complete transformation.
"How could this kid change his tactics so quickly?"
Zhang Xiu cursed inwardly, but now he was in a difficult situation.
"A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix... The serpent catches the bird!" Zhao Yun muttered to himself as he fought.
Zhang Xiu was puzzled, not knowing what Zhao Yun was talking about, but he vaguely sensed something and wanted to stop Zhao Yun.
His marksmanship was unpredictable and extremely unpredictable, making it impossible to defend against.
Zhao Yun's spear, like a nimble snake, constantly sought opportunities to strike Zhang Xiu's weaknesses.
Zhang Xiu felt a chill run down his spine, and his moves became increasingly fierce, but Zhao Yun always managed to dodge them skillfully.
Zhang Xiu felt increasingly frustrated as he attacked. Just when he was defending himself so tightly, Zhang Xiu suddenly attacked him, like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, making it impossible to guard against.
Finally, Zhang Xiu lost his composure, and Zhao Yun seized the opportunity, thrusting his spear forward and piercing through Zhang Xiu's shoulder.
Blood flowed from the wound, and Zhang Xiu groaned, staggering two steps and almost falling.
Zhang Xiu clutched his wound, his face filled with shock and anger. He stared intently at Zhao Yun, gritting his teeth as he said, "Damn it, this isn't the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear!"
Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Xiu and said calmly, "That's right, that's definitely not the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear."
After a pause, Zhao Yun continued, "This spear technique is specifically designed to counter the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear!"
Upon hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhang Xiu's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "What? How is that possible in such a short time?"
Zhang Xiu couldn't believe it. This was his master Tong Yuan's signature move, the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear, and Zhao Yun had broken it just like that.
"My martial uncle once said that no matter how things change, the principle remains the same. It is precisely because I understand the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear that I was able to figure out how to counter it!"
At this moment, Zhao Yun's temperament completely changed. His sharpness was restrained, but he became more profound and calm, like a bottomless pit.
Zhang Xiu stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yun in disbelief, trembling as he said, "Impossible...impossible, I don't believe it!"
After saying that, Zhang Xiu swung his spear again to stab, but due to his shoulder injury, this time he was noticeably slower.
Zhao Yun swept his spear, deflecting Zhang Xiu's spear, and then closed in, aiming his spear straight for Zhang Xiu's chest.
Zhang Xiu was startled and, in a panic, raised his spear to block, but was knocked down.
Taking advantage of the situation, Zhao Yun pointed his spear directly at Zhang Xiu's throat, his cold tone carrying a chilling killing intent: "Zhang Xiu, surrender!"
"Don't...don't even think about it!"
Zhang Xiu endured the pain and managed to stand up straight. His right hand, which was gripping the spear, trembled slightly, sweat beaded on his forehead, and he was breathing rapidly.
His face was deathly pale, and he seemed to be completely exhausted, swaying precariously.
Zhang Xiu looked at Zhao Yun with resentment and said hoarsely, "Zhao Yun, do you really think you have me cornered?"
As he spoke, he suddenly drew his spear and thrust it at Zhao Yun with all his might.
"Bang!"
Zhao Yun had been on guard against Zhang Xiu for a long time. With a light tap of his foot, he flew out and dodged Zhang Xiu's fatal attack.
"Pfft!"
Zhang Xiu coughed up a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and could no longer get up.
Lu Bu immediately frowned and spurred his horse out to rescue Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu is the commander-in-chief; if something happens to him, Lü Bu will also be implicated.
Lu Bu never expected that this newly emerged young general would defeat Zhang Xiu and severely injure him.
Lu Bu gave Zhao Yun a deep look and asked, "Your name is Zhao Yun, right? I'll remember you!"
Zhao Yun smiled faintly and said, "You are also very strong. Once you have recovered your strength, we will have a battle!"
"Hahaha..." Lu Bu laughed loudly and said boldly, "Good, that's great! You're worthy to be my opponent!"
With that, Lü Bu turned around and helped Zhang Xiu up, saying in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go back first!"
Zhang Xiu struggled to his feet, glared fiercely at Zhao Yun, and then returned to his tent with Lü Bu.
Zhao Yun did not give chase, but instead helped Dian Wei back into the city.
Leif had been watching the battle unfold beneath the city walls.
When Dian Wei was no match for Lü Bu, he was extremely anxious, fearing that something might happen to Dian Wei. Fortunately, Zhao Yun arrived in time.
