Court of Diplomatic Reception, the southwestern barbarians stared at Huo Guang, who had walked in alone, their eyes filled with questions.
It wasn't until the linguist beside them relayed Huo Guang's words that these people were utterly astonished, their faces filled with disbelief. This made no sense at all.
" A Lai, you mean this brat barged in all by himself just to attack us?" A foreign leader asked incredulously; this was utterly illogical.
There are nearly a hundred of us here, and he charged in and attacked so many of us by himself. Does he think he's some kind of sea god?
"Simply put, he wants to take us down!"
The translator, A Lai, gave a wry smile but could only nod.
Although he wasn't fluent in the language of Great Liang, their words were simple, direct, and easy to understand.
"You barbarians, you have no gratitude for the grace of my Great Liang, yet you still dare to act arrogantly and domineeringly in my Great Liang. Today, I, Huo Guang, will teach you a lesson and beat you until you call me grandpa!"
"Come out and fight me one-on-one!"
Huo Guang charged in alone.
He pointed his spear at the group from the southwest, his eyes filled with contempt, as if they were all trash, instantly igniting their hatred.
What did he say?
Some people slammed their fists on the table and stood up. Although they spoke different languages, Huo Guang's arrogant and contemptuous gaze undoubtedly told them a lot.
"Should we call him grandpa?"
"Are you kidding me? Has this guy gone mad? What gives him the right to be so arrogant?"
"Hmph, just a brat. Does he really think he's some kind of invincible warrior like Lü Bu or Guan Yu who swept across the southwestern battlefield? I'm not afraid of him!"
"One-on-one it is!"
This directly stirred up a hornet's nest. Although the southwestern tribes dared not provoke the Great Liang now, it didn't mean they were afraid of even a young man like Huo Guang. So, their eyes immediately turned hostile.
They were all of different races, and in small countries, fighting each other was commonplace, so why would they be afraid of a one-on-one duel?
Just what I wanted!
Several hot-tempered guards leaped out and surrounded Huo Guang, ready to teach Huo Guang a lesson.
The leader was A Hu from the Blackwater Tribe. As the tribe's chief fighter, this was the first time he had ever seen someone so arrogant, so his eyes were almost as dark as water.
Looking at Huo Guang, he gritted his teeth and said in broken Great Liang language, "Boy, it's not too late for you to kowtow and admit your mistake, otherwise I'll kill you!!!"
"Heh, you think you can take that?"
Huo Guang sneered, completely disregarding the fact that he was surrounded, and charged forward, brandishing his spear.
Although he wasn't born with superhuman strength, he was the younger brother of Huo Qubing, the Marquis Champion, and certainly not an incompetent person. A few arrogant foreign tribesmen would pay the price!
"Cut!"
The spear traced a shrill arc, accompanied by a deafening whistling sound, heading straight for A Hu.
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down!
"Damn it, they actually think I'm an easy target?" A Hu's face instantly turned red, not from fear, but from anger.
He was the tribe's number one warrior, yet he was treated like a nobody, like trash. This was an utter disgrace, and he was determined to tear the madman before him to pieces.
The Blackwater Tribe chief's expression changed, and he shouted, " A Hu, don't be impulsive! These are people from Great Liang!"
He couldn't help but worry about this issue, after all, someone who could rush into the Court of Diplomatic Reception and not be stopped by the guards at the gate was definitely not an ordinary person.
He might be the son of a powerful figure in Great Liang. If we kill him, the consequences could be unimaginable.
"So what? Die, you son of a bitch!!!"
A Hu seemed not to hear, roared angrily, grabbed his spiked club and charged forward. He took three steps to catch the cicada, then leaped out, attempting to knock Huo Guang off his horse.
So what if they're from Great Liang? If they go too far, they deserve to die!
Is jumping high useful?
A cold glint flashed in Huo Guang's eyes. He slid his spear down and pressed it down with both hands.
Split Mount Hua in two!
boom!
The spear slashed through the air and slammed directly into A Hu's spiked club. The immense force sent A Hu, who had just leaped up, flying backward as if struck by a heavy hammer.
Huo Guang, having won with a single blow, immediately became arrogant, roaring, "Is that all? You think you can kill me with this? In your next life!"
"Next!"
His demeanor became even more ferocious, treating everyone around him like lambs to the slaughter, displaying an overbearing and arrogant attitude.
However, his power did frighten many people.
Although A Hu has a terrible temper, his strength is absolutely reliable. It's unbelievable that he was instantly killed. That's just too amazing.
The group exchanged glances; the die was cast.
"I'll do it!"
Snap!
One shot landed, and the latter fell flat on his face.
"Next!"
"Tsk tsk, this kid is really smart. No wonder the Emperor values him." Zhang Fei couldn't help but marvel at this scene. Huo Guang really does have some skills.
Xu You had just arrived, looked puzzled and asked curiously, " Yide, what do you mean by that?"
To be honest, he thought Huo Guang was a bit reckless. Even if he had called in reinforcements as a backup, it was still somewhat dangerous for him to act so arrogantly in front of so many people.
A strange glint flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes, and he chuckled, "This kid charged in all alone, and the beauty of his horse is that he's on high ground. With the horse at a high vantage point, he can use the momentum of his charge to unleash several times his own power."
He emphasized that it was a one-on-one fight, and that generally no one could withstand such a shot—it was a shot from which man and horse were one!
At that moment, he finally understood why the Emperor had sent him to see Huo Guang; that kid was simply too cunning.
Hahaha!
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, praising, "That's called using the loudest voice to put on the least show, and doing the biggest things. You truly live up to your reputation, Huo Guang!"
Although Huo Guang's tone was astonishing, he insulted everyone.
The problem is that he made it clear from the beginning that it was a one-on-one fight. No matter how angry the southwestern tribes were, they were too embarrassed to gang up on Huo Guang, after all, this was Great Liang, and they had to care about Great Liang's attitude.
"This boy has a bright future!" Xu You exclaimed in astonishment. He never expected that this seemingly reckless boy would be so shrewd. What a future he would have!
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This is General Huo Guang, who single-handedly controls the entire court. Without considerable wisdom, how could he have achieved that through brute force alone!"
In the courtyard, Huo Guang had already defeated more than twenty of the enemy, leaving the southwestern barbarians speechless. Who would have thought that this young man was so skilled in combat?
Huo Guang, emboldened by his advantage, roared, "Excuse my bluntness, but if this is all the strength you have, you'd better behave yourselves from now on, or I'll crush you in a heartbeat!"
