Chapter 885 Competition in the Arena

Li Zhan knew that it was better to invite generals than to provoke them, so he deliberately humiliated the generals. As expected, most of the generals had some anger in their eyes and looked at Li Zhan with wide eyes.

Li Zhan looked at the generals coldly, not caring about their anger at all, and still uttered arrogant words.

"No wonder you people were beaten to pieces by the party members. You can't even beat me, a scholar. Why are you still a soldier? Why don't you take off your armor and go home to serve your wife and children to avoid embarrassment!"

These words were comparable to a map cannon, and their power was naturally astonishing. The generals looked at each other, and the crowd suddenly became excited. A lieutenant holding a spear couldn't help but stood up, jumped onto the ring, and stood Opposite Li Zhan.

Li Zhan glanced at him, nodded, turned around casually, faced this person, and said with a look of contempt.

"So-so, finally there is a man with eggs, eggs, so I won't look down on him!"

This lieutenant general is about forty, his surname is Liu, and his name is Weijun. His face looks a bit old. He has been in the army for more than 20 years. He joined the army since he was a child and participated in countless battles. He climbed out of the dead and finally became a deputy general, commanding an infantry battalion of 500 people. , experienced hundreds of battles, and his martial arts skills were honed on the battlefield. He paid a heavy price for this, and suffered dozens of wounds on his body. "

Vice General Liu clasped his hands into fists, saluted Li Zhan, and then said.

"The Prime Minister's words are really too unpleasant to hear. We lost to the Dangxiang people, but that doesn't mean we are all cowards. Liu is not talented. Although his martial arts skills are not among the top among the generals, he has a straight temper and cannot listen to the Prime Minister. With these words from the Prime Minister, I am willing to step forward to learn from the Prime Minister’s clever tactics, so that the Prime Minister can see the courage of our Northwest Army!”

When Li Zhan heard this, he couldn't help but look at him. Although Lieutenant General Liu looked ordinary and unremarkable, he was thoughtful and logical. He was a rare thoughtful person.

Vice General Liu was the first to take the stage when Li Zhan insulted the soldiers. He was obviously a man with a strong sense of self-esteem and a strong sense of honor for his army. However, after he came up, he was still not affected by anger. He first saluted with clasped fists, obviously knowing etiquette. He was still calm inside, and what he said afterward was also polite and courteous. He is a talented person, so you can focus on it.

Although Li Zhan was extremely satisfied with Vice General Liu's performance, he still pretended to be arrogant.

"Whether a soldier of the Northwest Army is a real man or not cannot be judged by words, it must be judged by his true ability!"

When Lieutenant General Liu heard this, he didn't say much. He directly opened his stance and pointed his spear at Li Zhan. Seeing that Li Zhan was ready, he gave a loud shout, and with great momentum and quick steps, he ran towards Li Zhan and swung away. He lifted his arm, bent the gun into a semicircle, and swept it towards Li Zhan's waist.

Li Zhan nodded secretly. There was something about this move that required extremely high speed and arm strength, otherwise it would not be used at all. Li Zhan stopped the spear in his hand and directly blocked the sweeping gun body without moving at all.

Lieutenant General Liu felt a shock in his hands, his palms were numb, and he looked at Li Zhan in shock. This thin-looking prime minister actually had a thousand pounds of power in his hands. The spear he swung could directly sweep away the party members' cavalry. To be stopped with such a simple block was something that few people in the entire Northwest Army could do.

Deputy Liu tightly grasped the gun body with his palm. Regardless of the pain, he gritted his teeth and retracted the spear. He rushed forward, and the spear in his hand thrust forward again, like a dragon swimming out of the sea. It brought up a gust of evil wind and reached Li like lightning. Zhan's chest.

Li Zhan raised his spear horizontally, and the cold tip of the spear grazed his shoulder, piercing his neck by just one point, leaving a bloody hole.

All the soldiers in the audience widened their eyes and took a breath. They were worried about the two of them. They were worried about Li Zhan because he almost died from Lieutenant General Liu's gun. They were worried about Lieutenant General Liu because he almost died. If he really kills the Prime Minister with one shot, he is afraid that he will be questioned by the court, and at least he will have to be punished, go to the vegetable market, and even affect his family.

Lieutenant General Liu didn't seem to notice anything, and without stopping, he slid the gun body over Li Zhan's spear and smashed it into Li Zhan's head crazily.

Li Zhan's eyes shone brightly, and he was satisfied with Deputy General Liu's response. A smile appeared on his face. He kept moving his hand, and the gun changed from a horizontal frame to a vertical block, and he easily defused Deputy General Liu's attack.

Lieutenant General Liu didn't expect the move just now to be successful, so he took advantage of the situation to retract the gun, stepped back, and distanced himself from Li Zhan.

Lieutenant General Liu moved his palms a little to relieve the pain in his palms, and then tightened his grip again. The few confrontations just now made him understand that the self-proclaimed scholar in front of him was far better than himself in martial arts, and he did not dare to take the initiative again. Offensive, he chose a cautious defense, hoping to find a flaw in Li Zhan's offense and achieve success with one blow.

Li Zhan looked at Lieutenant General Liu who was motionless and alert. He understood what he was thinking, shook his head and gave a reminder.

"Since you don't attack, I'm going to attack, so be careful!"

Before Li Zhan finished speaking, he stepped back with his right foot, dashed forward like lightning, swung his arm, and the gun body drew an arc, sweeping towards him and returning the favor.

Lieutenant General Liu responded quickly and blocked the gun vertically. The gun barrels intersected and made a loud "bang" sound.

Lieutenant General Liu's expression changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he felt a sharp pain coming from his body. He couldn't bear it anymore. He let go of his hand, and the spear flew ten feet away, hitting the ground and splashing a cloud of dust. .

Lieutenant General Liu looked dejectedly at the gun tip that Li Zhan had thrust into his eyes. Feeling the cold breath, he couldn't help but close his eyes and wait for death.

Li Zhan exerted force with his palms, and the fascia on his arm bulged. The tip of the gun stopped close to Lieutenant General Liu's eyebrows, and then he withdrew the spear.

After waiting for a long time, Lieutenant General Liu didn't feel the breath of death. Then he opened his eyes and looked at Li Zhan who had turned around. He touched his eyebrows in fear. A little red mark spread out, leaving a drop of blood on his hand, as if The plum blossoms are blooming, very cool and beautiful.

Lieutenant General Liu could not hide the fear and surprise in his resolute eyes. He cupped his fists and saluted Li Zhan, who was turning his back, and said loudly.

"The general is incompetent and is no match for the Prime Minister, so he will be defeated!"

After Vice General Liu finished speaking, he turned around and got off the ring, shook his head repeatedly, and said bitterly to the general beside him.

"I'm convinced. You guys go up and give it a try. You can't really let the Prime Minister think that there is no one in our Northwest Army?!"

The generals looked at each other and nodded. Apparently they did not want to show their timidity in front of Li Zhan. After thinking for a moment, they again introduced a general whose martial arts skills were superior to that of Deputy General Liu, and were ready to challenge Li Zhan.
