In Ye City, outside Yuan Shao's residence.
Cao Cao had been about to conduct a transaction worth several billion with a beauty when someone interrupted him. His brows drew together in cold fury. "Whelp! How dare you spoil my pleasure?"
His roar carried the power of battle qi across half the city. Everyone who heard it felt chilled from head to toe, unable even to stand straight.
This was the monster who had slaughtered Xudu and destroyed an army of a million. His presence was utterly terrifying!
Yet facing such a monster, Zhao Yun stood clad in silver armor, his sharp brows raised. Far from being afraid, he took the initiative.
A glint of cold steel arrived first, followed by a spear thrust like a dragon!
Crack! The blue bricks shattered.
Zhao Yun shot into the air like an arrow loosed from a bow, raising his spear to thrust at Cao Cao.
One rank higher was enough to crush a man.
As the second strongest under heaven, Great Rage Zhao Yun possessed Strong City-Burst Rank power and speed far beyond the speed of sound. But to Cao Cao, who was at Nation-Burst Rank, he looked laughably slow.
"Too slow."
Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his back, raised one hand to yawn, then strolled behind Zhao Yun. Curling his fingers into claws, he grabbed Zhao Yun by the nape like a chick and surged forward, smashing through houses and the city gate until they were outside Ye City.
"Off you go!"
With a casual toss from Cao Cao, Zhao Yun landed on a barren mountain.
Then Cao Cao raised his palm, gathered Nation-Burst Rank battle qi into it, and slammed it forward.
Boom!
In an instant, the heavens shook and the earth split. The entire barren mountain was flattened.
