The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

"Gao Shun, you..."

Dian Wei was speechless for a moment, and could only snort coldly, his icy gaze sweeping over the three people who had unintentionally stood together.

"General Gao, my colleagues are here today to have a great time competing in martial arts. You shouldn't spoil their fun, would you?"

A middle-aged man sitting next to Zhang Yang stood up and looked at Gao Shun with a smile.

He wanted to be a peacemaker, but he chose the wrong person. Now that Gao Shun had stepped forward, he wouldn't compromise easily.

He didn't speak, but expressed his opinion through silence.

Inside the hall, everyone's expressions were quite interesting at that moment.

Chen Er glanced at Zhang Yang and noticed that he was smiling and silent, as if what had happened had nothing to do with him.

Although this outcome was expected, not everyone can accept the bone-chilling indifference that actually arrives.

Chen Er was alright, but Zhang Liao was filled with mixed feelings at this moment.

The atmosphere in the hall became awkward as Gao Shun remained silent. Dian Wei gave Song Xian and Wei Xu a look, and the two of them stood up together.

"I don't know when General Gao became so unreasonable. It's just a competition, why is General Gao taking it so seriously?" Song Xian shook his head and sighed, his expression showing a hint of helplessness in the face of such an unreasonable person.

Is Gao Shun unreasonable? No, it's not Gao Shun who's unreasonable, it's the person who said those words.

"General Gao has always been aloof and doesn't associate with us. We originally thought that General Gao liked to be alone, but after meeting him today, we realize that it's not that General Gao doesn't like to associate with others, but rather that he thinks we are not qualified to associate with him!"

Wei Xu also said in a sarcastic tone.

As soon as he said this, several more people stood up from the military officers' seats, almost unanimously accusing Gao Shun of being "unapproachable and arrogant."

However, Gao Shun remained silent. Zhang Liao wanted to retort, but Chen Er stopped him.

You can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep, and you can never reason with someone who won't listen to reason. Talking to these clowns just makes Chen Er feel disgusted.

The atmosphere became awkward again, but just then, someone suddenly spoke up:

"If I feel that doing so is harmless and acceptable, what then?"

The person who spoke was Ding Yuan, who had white hair. He looked at Gao Shun with a serious expression, while Gao Shun gritted his teeth, seemingly wanting to say something, but Chen Er patted him on the shoulder and shook his head.

It's no use; these people won't listen to us. Chen Er conveyed this message to Gao Shun with his eyes.

Chen Er stepped forward, stepping out of his seat. He looked around.

Still smiling, Zhang Yang indifferent, Ding Yuan with furrowed brows but pretending to be unimportant, and that group of righteous "people".

He smiled, then said in a hoarse voice:

"A contest? Sure! But what's the point of a mere martial arts match? If we're going to have one, let's have a life-or-death duel! Who lives and who dies is up to fate!"

No one expected Chen Er to say such a thing. Zhang Yang and Ding Yuan both changed color, and even Dian Wei's double iron halberds trembled slightly upon hearing this.

Chen Er stared intently at Dian Wei, then gently made a throat-slitting motion.

Dian Wei's pupils contracted instantly as he involuntarily recalled the humiliation of his previous inexplicable defeat to Chen Er, and the humiliation of being threatened with a dagger by the latter.

He should have stood up to fight, but for some reason, looking at Chen Er's eyes and seeing that throat-slitting gesture, he was speechless for a moment.

His generals looked at Dian Wei with puzzlement, not understanding why he hadn't spoken.

In this suffocating atmosphere, Zhang Liao also stepped forward:

"Wen Yuan, I am willing to live and die with my elder brother!"

The two of them stood side by side, and for some reason, their gazes were so intense that Dian Wei had to look away.

Chen Er snorted coldly, no longer looking at Dian Wei, but at Ding Yuan, whose face was ashen.

"Prefect Ding, please give the order!"

He, Chen Er, has never been a lamb to be slaughtered. Anyone who tries to harm him must be prepared to pay the price with their life!

With the "Smile of Death" in hand, what can Dian Wei do?!

In the awkward atmosphere, Zhang Yang slowly stood up:

"To resort to violence at a banquet would be extremely inauspicious. What do you all think?"

He didn't look at Chen Er, nor at Zhang Liao. Instead, he asked someone else.

At this point, who would dare to utter a single word of dissent? Looking at those who only knew how to flatter, Chen Er felt as if his heart was blocked by flies.

"A martial arts contest for entertainment" is fine as long as Dian Wei humiliates the two of them, but "a life-or-death duel" is not allowed, even if it's a fair fight?!

Ding Yuan also said in a deep voice:

"We are all soldiers of Bingzhou. What kind of spectacle is this, a life-or-death duel?! Since neither of you is willing to fight Dian Wei, then there's no need for a fight!"

His face turned ashen. How could he have imagined that two young men would dare to humiliate him like this!

“No need, Governor Ding. Since General Dian Wei has no intention of a life-or-death duel, how about we let our martial spirits be tested?” Zhang Liao, who had been silent all along, snorted and stepped forward.

Chen Er frowned slightly, but Zhang Liao gave him a firm look, so Chen Er stopped talking.

Dian Wei's men were taken aback at first, then looked at Zhang Liao with pity. Everyone knew that Dian Wei was the most outstanding general in Bingzhou in recent years, and he had obtained the top-tier martial spirit [Azure Wolf] from the Warrior Tower.

"Alright!" Upon hearing this, Dian Wei eagerly jumped off the Azure Wolf before Ding Yuan could speak. The enormous azure Azure Wolf, as if possessing sentience, stared intently at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao snorted coldly, his eyes flashing, and in an instant, a huge white creature appeared in the hall!

"This is my martial spirit, [White Star]!"

As Zhang Liao spoke, he looked at Dian Wei and asked, "Are you prepared to lose your martial spirit and be devoured?"

Zhang Liao seemed oblivious to the mocking words; he simply stared at Dian Wei.

He revealed his martial spirit, [White Star].

When Zhang Liao uttered the words "White Star," Dian Wei's expression completely changed.

The group of generals, however, were oblivious to Dian Wei's expression and remained lost in their own world.

However, what happened next completely surprised everyone!

After Zhang Liao summoned [White Star], [Azure Wolf], which had been sizing up Zhang Liao, raised its head, raised its tail, and arched its massive body, emitting low growls. Its sharp claws gripped the ground tightly, tearing a hole in the red carpet laid out on the ground.
