Zhou Cang licked his lips. Though he had heavy injuries, he did not care about it. He charged towards the enemy without bothering to wipe away his blood.

“Kill!” Huang She’s bodyguards also advanced with the excitement of becoming a general.

“Come!” Zhou Cang widely swung his sword. The first victim barely had the time to smile from the excitement before being cut in half from the waist. Zhou Cang was too fast and had his own martial style. He also received a few pointers from Guan Hai and Huang Zhong after becoming Liu Mang’s subordinate.

At the start, Zhou Cang wanted to look for Guan Yu not only to determine who was stronger but also to learn from Guan Yu. Huang Zhong was not any inferior to Guan Yu but Zhou Cang already had his own style so it was impossible to change it. That was why Huang Zhong could only give a bit of pointers.

Wide swings allowed Zhou Cang to put in more power but it also leave himself exposed to attacks. Huang Zhong’s advice was for Zhou Cang to be fast. If he is fast enough, he could prevent his weakness from being exploited.

Now, Zhou Cang’s swings were fast. His first victim died before being able to react. He could only feel the pain and even see his internal organs flying out.

Killing one person would not intimidate the others as they had already been captivated by the promised reward. On the other hand, they became even more excited as they now had one less person to share the reward with.

Zhou Cang continued cutting down the bodyguards. By the time he reached he reached his fifth victim, he furrowed his brows. The sword in his hand felt different. He noticed that he was killing his enemies slower and his blade ended up being stuck in his enemy’s body.

The small wounds on his back that he obtained while protecting Guan Hai earlier started to open up and his blood loss made him slower. As a result, his weapon was stuck in his enemy instead of slicing his enemy cleanly in half.

“Avenge me!” Zhou Cang’s fifth victim shouted fiercely as he knew he could not live.

Zhou Cang wanted to pull out his sword but the enemy held on tightly to the blade of the sword and pushed it deeper into his bones. The enemy wanted to hold onto the sword with his bones to ensure that Zhou Cang could not pull it out.

Zhou Cang roared angrily. He grabbed the sword with two hands and exerted his strength, cutting off the soldier’s fingers.

“Argh!” The soldier cried out painfully. Without any fingers left, he was unable to hold on to the sword. Zhou Cang took this chance to pull out his sword but at the same time, he was already being attacked by another enemy.

“Die!” Unable to dodge, Zhou Cang could only block the attack with his sword to prevent serious injuries.

Using his strength, Zhou Cang was then able to knock the enemy soldier’s weapon away and kill him before rolling away to avoid the other attacks going for his head.

Zhou Cang panted. His back was drenched in blood and when he tried to wipe it away, he immediately found his hand wet. Zhou Cang wanted to bandage himself but he did not have the time to. The enemy had already swarmed him.

His earlier injury may have cut his meridian and his actions aggravated his wound even further. Zhou Cang was pale and his movements slowed. He shook his head to keep himself awake.

“He can’t hold on anymore! Kill him!” Huang She shouted. Earlier, he was frightened when Zhou Cang killed several people but now he could tell that Zhou Cang was at his limit.

“Yes!” The guards all charged forward. Zhou Cang tried to block but his weapon was sent flying.

“Haha! Your head is mine!” One guard laughed. He just needed to swing his sword down and he would be promoted. Huang She was also smiling.

A head was suddenly sent flying and landed at Huang She. Huang She subconsciously held onto one of the heads. His smile was frozen.

This was not Zhou Cang’s head. It was his subordinate’s head.

“Zhou Cang! Are you alright?” Guan Hai went to support Zhou Cang who was already trembling and unable to stand.

“I am alright. Brother Guan, don’t worry about me. Get the Lord out of here!” Zhou Cang was no longer able to think clearly but he still did not forget to make sure that Liu Mang escapes.

“Escape? We are going to fight our way in right now.” Liu Mang’s voice appeared.

“Liu Mang!” Huang She looked at Liu Mang and Guan Hai in surprise. “Don’t… Don’t come over here!” Huang She stuttered. He did not want to meet Liu Mang face to face as every time it happened, he was captured.

“Lord Huang She. Didn’t you want my head? I am right here. Come and take it.” Liu Mang sneered as he stepped forward.

“Master. Withdraw.” Huang She’s subordinates knew that they could no longer kill Zhou Cang. Since it was obvious that Liu Mang and Guan Hai were not here to be killed, they could only try to get Huang She to withdraw.

Not being a fool, Huang She tried to run away.

“Running away? Where can you run to?” Liu Mang said as he looked at the surroundings, including Liu Biao’s approaching soldiers. Liu Mang needed a hostage and that person would be Huang She. “Guan Hai. Protect Zhou Cang.”

“Don’t worry Milord!” Guan Hai replied.

It was too crowded with three thousand people at the Xiangyang prison. Huang She had nowhere to run. Liu Mang killed his way forward and many of Huang She’s guards were afraid. As Huang She had pushed too far ahead earlier, there were only a few guards between him and Liu Mang. As a result, he did not have the time to escape.

After killing two guards, Liu Mang immediately caught Huang She and put a sword to his neck “Come over here!”

“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” Huang She panicked.

“I won’t kill you.” Liu Mang replied. The moment he caught Huang She, all of Huang She’s guards no longer dared to approach. “Come. Have your Lord dismiss the troops!” Liu Mang who could not catch Liu Biao first went for Huang She. It was just like when he used Huang She to make Huang Zhong surrender.

“Milord! Save me!” Huang She shouted loudly.

Liu Biao’s guards did not dare to act as well. At the end of the day, Huang She was the heir of the Huang Family. He was the person with the second largest position there.

Liu Mang wanted to use Huang She to threaten Liu Biao but it was of no effect. Liu Biao coldly ordered his men to attack. Liu Biao did not care about Huang She’s survival.

“Yes!” Hearing this, Liu Biao’s guards once again prepared to attack.

“Milord! Don’t do this!” Huang She panicked. Liu Biao was ignoring him and he offended Liu Mang too much. At this point, it was unlikely for Liu Mang to escape. At that time, Liu Mang would definitely take Huang She with him. Huang She did not want to die.

“Looks like your Lord has abandoned you!” Liu Mang mocked.

“Since you are no longer of any use…” Liu Mang said as he lifted Huang She.

“Don’t kill me! I beg of you!” Huang She cried out as an unpleasant smell flooded the area.

Liu Mang frowned. Huang She, the man determined to become a Grand General, was peeing his pants.

Not wanting to kill Huang She, Liu Mang threw Huang She back at his enemies. “Since you are of no use, I will return you to them!”

“Save me! Catch me!” Huang She shouted as he flew towards Liu Biao’s men. These soldiers may have listened to Liu Biao’s orders but he subconsciously sheathed their weapons and stretched out their hands to catch Huang She.

“Haha. So it is like that after all!” Liu Mang sneered. He knew that Liu Biao’s men did not have the guts to kill Huang She. If Huang She were to die in the chaos, there would be no problems since they can shift the blame onto Liu Mang. However, Liu Mang had thrown Huang She away in public. If Huang She were to be killed by one of their own weapons, the guard would not be able to escape the Huang Family’s wrath.

Liu Mang took this opportunity to rush towards where Huang She fell. Liu Biao’s men fell into confusion as they now also wanted to take out their weapons to defend themselves. Unable to react in time, they were killed by Liu Mang.

Liu Mang danced with his sword and the area was cleared of enemies. Huang She once again fell into Liu Mang’s hands.

Before Huang She could regain himself from being thrown, he was once again thrown by Liu Mang.

“Argh!” Huang She screamed as he flew. He felt like vomiting from the experience. Meanwhile, Liu Mang continued to approach Liu Biao.

“Just kill them! Do not care about other things!” Liu Biao ordered after seeing Liu Mang’s strategy. He realized that his men did not dare to kill Huang She so he had to order them to disregard Huang She’s life.

“He only gave this order now? But it is too late!” Liu Mang sneered. He was already close to Liu Biao.

“Protect the Lord!” The guards shouted as they gathered around Liu Biao. Nobody cared about Huang She anymore. Although he did not land directly on his, his ass was stabbed by a broken piece of a red tasseled spear. His scream resounded throughout Xiangyang.

“Realizing it now is too late!” Liu Mang hid his body behind his shield and took a deep breath before slamming forward with his shield.

Placing all of his strength in his shield, he slammed into his opponents like a war chariot. Those that collided against his shield was sent flying. Liu Mang himself was not spared from the force of the collision. After sending his enemies flying, he also suffered some internal injuries and could taste blood in his mouth. Even then, he persisted and continued to approach Liu Biao. The only way they could survive is if they caught Liu Biao.

“Tell your soldiers to drop their weapons!”
