"You’re going to compete with him in archery?" Sunx Ce asked, his face twitching with a look of frustration.

"What’s wrong?" Xiahou Yuan raised an eyebrow, sensing Sunx Ce’s disdainful tone.

"Nothing, nine out of ten being the best. If you dare to compete with him, your archery must be nine points." Sunx Ce replied to Xiahou Yuan.

Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan was delighted, but Sunx Ce continued, "The problem is, General Huang’s archery is also nine points, but the reason it’s nine is that his limit is only nine points..."

Instantly, Xiahou Yuan pulled his horse back and turned to look at Sunx Ce with displeasure. However, Sunx Ce wasn’t afraid at all. Having fought all day, Sunx Ce figured out that, despite being young and not yet at peak strength, there were very few here that could steadily beat him.

Unfortunately, Xiahou Yuan wasn’t among those few. Although Xiahou Yuan had reached the ultimate inner qi manifestation, cultivation level is only positively correlated with combat power, not directly proportional. Xiahou Yuan might be fierce, but Sunx Ce wasn’t afraid to fight him.

"I’m speaking the truth," Sunx Ce continued as he saw Xiahou Yuan’s dissatisfaction, "You can’t beat him, and your archery is certainly not on par; there’s no one here who can steadily defeat him."

Xiahou Yuan glared at Sunx Ce with discontent. He loved characters with superb archery skills. Finally meeting Huang Zhong, he persistently wanted to compete to see who was superior. The competition wasn’t yet decided, and people were already diminishing him.

At this moment, Huang Zhong also rode back, "Your current archery is already very impressive. A standard contest is hard to determine a winner; why don’t we compete with something more challenging?"

"What will we compete in?" Xiahou Yuan directly ignored Sunx Ce and focused on Huang Zhong, who is a true master.

"How about this, let’s see who can shoot the Chanyu with a bow and arrow?" Huang Zhong smiled at Xiahou Yuan, leaving him stunned.

"That guy possesses spiritual talent; how could it be possible to shoot him?" Xiahou Yuan looked at Huang Zhong, puzzled.

"Don’t worry about whether it can be done; just say whether you’ll compete." Huang Zhong put away his bow and arrows, waving his Red Blood Knife as he asked.

"If you can shoot Huyan Chu, I’ll offer tea to the elder brother," Xiahou Yuan raised an eyebrow and replied directly.

"You all be witnesses." Huang Zhong told Sunx Ce and the others behind him.

"Hey, I’m very interested in the elder’s archery." Sunx Ce rubbed his hands together and said.

"Your physique is suitable for long weapons like spears and halberds; bow and arrow are just entry-level in this lifetime." Huang Zhong sized up Sunx Ce and said with a mocking smile.

Sunx Ce’s chest puffed up; he wanted to spar with Huang Zhong. Even if he couldn’t win, Huang Zhong wouldn’t dare do anything to him on the battlefield, but thinking back, his archery indeed wasn’t great.

Then Huang Zhong didn’t say much and grabbed his Red Blood Knife, leading the charge towards Huyan Chu. A large number of Huns and Han soldiers were slaughtering each other, but at this point, the Han army had already gained an absolute advantage. The Huns were retreating step by step but hadn’t yet collapsed.

Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Sunx Ce, and Le Jin also led their troops to charge forward. All five were valiant generals and quickly broke through a line of Hun defense.

"You go deal with the Northern Huns’ Chanyu; I’ll go kill Qiu Linbei!" After the five broke through the rear of the Huns’ main formation and were ready to push forward, Xiahou Dun suddenly saw Qiu Linbei rushing in the northeast direction.

The earlier loss had not yet been avenged, so Xiahou Dun’s eyes turned red as he led his troops to pursue Qiu Linbei.

"I’ll go too." As Xiahou Dun led the troops away, Sunx Ce immediately followed with his troops.

On this path of encirclement and slaughter, Sunx Ce, apart from killing one miscellaneous Hun with inner qi separation, hadn’t claimed a single Northern Huns’ big prize. Initially, Lan Clan would have been his target, but Xiahou Dun interfered, benefiting Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan instead, leaving Sunx Ce very frustrated.

Actually, Sunx Ce didn’t think that if he hadn’t taken Le Jin’s kill, Xiahou Dun wouldn’t have come to snatch his. Without these two causing trouble for each other, Le Jin would have easily killed Lan Clan, and those later things wouldn’t have happened.

This was why Sunx Ce, seeing Qiu Linbei, this big prize from the Northern Huns, wanted to rush up and cut him down.

Guan Ping, Wei Yan, and Cai Yang chased behind Qiu Linbei with darkened faces. They saw Sunx Ce and Xiahou Dun and realized someone intended to snatch from their jaws. Qiu Linbei was meant for Cai Yang and them, and this was defying military orders.

However, as battlefield chaos reigned, and Qiu Linbei’s talent advantage was too obvious, Wei Yan and Cai Yang found it difficult to pursue and kill.

"Qiu Linbei!" Xiahou Dun swept aside enemies in the center and confronted Qiu Linbei. His long spear directly stabbed forward, but Qiu Linbei only parried two moves before escaping. Xiahou Dun immediately chased him down with his spear, and then Sunx Ce followed.

However, Qiu Linbei’s talent in charging through chaotic armies had a significant advantage. Plus, as he dashed left and right, leading his Wolf Spirit Soldiers, he rescued many Northern Huns soldiers, gradually increasing his troops.

Since Chouhun sent Qiu Linbei away, Qiu Linbei broke out of Guan Yu’s encirclement, and now he had gathered no less than two thousand Northern Huns elites, but he wouldn’t gather more at this point.

"Why is this guy so slippery!" Xiahou Dun yelled in anger as he saw Qiu Linbei running farther away.

"His talent is Chaos Formation; didn’t you hear when distributing military duties?" Sunx Ce replied annoyedly, "Follow me, I’ll see what abilities this guy has."

As they spoke, Sunx Ce led seven or eight trusted aides directly south. Xiahou Dun was puzzled but got convinced by Sunx Ce’s statement. Seeing Sunx Ce heading south, he changed his direction to south as well.

"This isn’t getting us closer to Qiu Linbei!" Xiahou Dun chased Sunx Ce for a while, suddenly realizing the direction was wrong, with Qiu Linbei running north and them running south.

Sunx Ce ignored Xiahou Dun; although he often acted foolishly, his battlefield intuition was the most useful once in combat.

Xiahou Dun observed Sunx Ce’s silence, gritting his teeth, and followed him. Soon, they met fewer and fewer Hun soldiers, and later the Han army started self-clearing a path for them. If Xiahou Dun didn’t understand this, he’d be truly clueless.

"Well done, Sunx Bofu, you’re impressive," Xiahou Dun praised, spurring his horse towards the east without impediment, swiftly charging out of the battlefield.

"Ha, did you think I’d chase like the others? He has Chaos Formation talent; disrupting a few times will scatter the enemy quickly; they’d arrive sooner. If we couldn’t catch up, we’d be fools. The Han army is now dominant, but haven’t the Northern Huns’ pride remained undefeated there?" Sunx Ce explained logically, without any trace of his previous foolishness.
