Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1083: 1058: Taking the General’s Head Before Three Thousand Iron Cavalry
Upon beholding this spectacle, the onlookers were utterly speechless.
A lone figure stood against three thousand charging cavalry, completely composed.
How could such a feat be achievable?
Liu Bei and his companions froze in utter astonishment.
The Cao Army soldiers fell into immediate panic.
Ye Chen’s silver spear thrust out like bolts of lightning, one after another.
Every strike held endless changes and feints.
In that instant, the once unstoppable three thousand cavalry descended into total disorder.
Ye Chen moved like a grim reaper through the ranks.
Whoever his spear touched tumbled straight from their mount.
What enraged the Cao Army most was Ye Chen’s unerring precision.
Yet their blades struck Ye Chen without so much as a graze.
Not even his steed suffered harm.
Blades and spears clanged harmlessly off him, inflicting zero injury.
Ye Chen’s motorcycle bore countless scratches and bumps.
This irritated Ye Chen somewhat.
Right now, Ye Chen dominated the battlefield utterly.
Deep within the three thousand cavalry, he kept harvesting lives relentlessly.
Ye Chen swept through like a fierce tempest; everywhere he passed, foes collapsed in droves.
This sight proved utterly breathtaking.
Gripping his silver spear, Ye Chen swiftly carved a path drenched in blood.
Cao Cao watched in complete disbelief.
How was this even feasible?
His three thousand cavalry consisted of seasoned veterans.
Before Ye Chen, however, they appeared defenseless.
No one foresaw a single man trampling their elite three thousand cavalry.
The observing generals gaped in shock.
Though many could take on a hundred foes single-handedly,
none could plunge through three thousand cavalry unscathed like Ye Chen.
This young warrior was downright horrifying.
Terror gripped Cao Cao’s features.
This defies all reason.
Was this truly the act of a mortal man?
Even Lü Bu, the supreme warrior of the Three Kingdoms, likely couldn’t match such prowess.
Storming through thousands as if the field lay empty.
Suddenly, Cao Cao’s face twisted.
He abruptly noticed Ye Chen’s aim was fixed on him.
Cao Army generals caught on to Ye Chen’s purpose and rushed to form a barrier before Cao Cao.
“Protect the commander!”
At first, all believed Ye Chen would get flattened amid the three thousand cavalry.
Yet astonishingly, the cavalry themselves were the ones routed.
Even more astonishingly, Ye Chen pierced forward like a keen blade straight for Cao Cao.
Multiple Cao generals surged from both flanks to block Ye Chen.
Ye Chen drew nearer and nearer to Cao Cao.
Xu Chu, the fierce general under Cao Cao, bellowed as he charged at Ye Chen.
Wielding a massive saber, he slashed fiercely at Ye Chen.
Crack!
His saber crashed onto Ye Chen’s form.
Xu Chu’s heart leaped with joy.
Success!
But incredulously, his weapon bounced away.
Xu Chu stood stunned in confusion.
His saber, famed for slicing iron effortlessly, failed to nick Ye Chen.
Then Ye Chen roared in fury.
“Kill!”
Swish! Ye Chen’s spear thrust toward Xu Chu.
Xu Chu’s eyes widened in alarm; he hastily swung his saber to parry.
Pu chi.
To universal horror, Ye Chen sheared Xu Chu’s sturdy iron saber clean in two.
How could this happen?
A jolt numbed Xu Chu’s wrist, nearly hurling him from his horse.
Shock overwhelmed his face.
Among the Three Kingdoms’ top warriors, Xu Chu’s power rivaled the best.
Yet a slender scholar-like figure had bisected his weapon.
This was beyond comprehension.
Ye Chen’s spear whipped out with force.
Bam.
The spear slammed across Xu Chu’s body.
Xu Chu flew backward off his mount from the blow.
Out of respect for Xu Chu’s devotion to Prime Minister Cao, Ye Chen spared his life.
By now, Cao Cao was thoroughly dazed.
This prowess was unreal.
Cao Cao commanded numerous elite generals, over half the era’s mightiest fighters.
None compared to Ye Chen’s might.
Ye Chen now arrived right before Cao Cao’s chariot.
With a swift twirl, his silver spear hovered at Cao Cao’s throat.
Panic seized Cao Cao then.
“Everyone stop!”
As Ye Chen held Cao Cao captive, the troops froze in terror.
Their leader stood at the mercy of that spear tip.
One nudge from Ye Chen, and this legendary figure would perish.
The whole battlefield fell silent in awe.
Three thousand cavalry vanquished by a bookish youth.
This bordered on the absurd.
Despite Cao Cao’s swarm of talented aides, ironclad guards, and even Xu Chu at his side,
Ye Chen had shattered their defenses.
This humiliation was unparalleled.
The Cao Army, battle-tested for years, had never endured such shame.
A solitary fighter amid thousands, seizing the commander himself.
Unheard of before.
Not one soldier dared stir.
Ye Chen bellowed commandingly, “Drop your weapons.”
Hesitantly, they lowered their arms.
Now, gazing at Ye Chen, Cao Cao felt profound respect stirring within.
Truly the pinnacle of heroes. Under my banner, he’d unite the realm.
Surprisingly, Cao Cao now coveted such talent.
His keen intellect told him Ye Chen harbored no killing intent.
Else, that spear would have already ended him.
Ye Chen truly planned no murder of Cao Cao.
Killing him would rewrite history.
Ye Chen knew, despite traversing the Ten Thousand Realms, history remained immutable.
He refused a world forever changed upon return.
Moreover, Ye Chen held no grudge against Cao Cao; he revered this fabled lord.
“Prime Minister Cao, I bear you no grudge. The reason I’ve detained you today is simply to let my friends and the people escape. I apologize for the affront,”
Ye Chen smiled, spear steady at Cao Cao’s neck.
He had sound motives.
System or not, slaughtering three thousand cavalry entirely was impractical.
Capturing Cao Cao offered the swiftest solution.
Across the river, Liu Bei’s group gawked in total disbelief.
This surpassed belief.
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun shuddered uncontrollably.
Snatching the enemy general’s head amid three thousand cavalry—even they couldn’t achieve it.
The Shu forces opposite stared, slack-jawed from the clash.
Guan Yu caressed his beard, “Indeed an Immortal. I’ve never bowed to another, yet today I revere Immortal Ye.”
Zhuge Liang drew a sharp breath, “Piercing three thousand cavalry to claim Cao Cao’s head—likely only Immortal Ye could accomplish such a deed.”
Liu Bei sighed deeply, “Fortunately, Immortal Ye stands as our ally, not foe.”
“Master, we should escape immediately,” Zhuge Liang urged, composing himself.
Liu Bei and company saluted Ye Chen profoundly from afar before withdrawing.
Cao Cao watched them flee, reluctance gnawing at him, yet powerless.
He could have slain Liu Bei effortlessly this time, but a divine Ye Chen intervened.
Fate, perhaps.
Cao Cao heaved a heavy sigh.
Still, his eyes fixed on Ye Chen with mounting caution.
Should Ye Chen join Liu Bei, how to oppose him?
A thousand generals couldn’t rival one Ye Chen.
