   "Your Majesty, do not be alarmed! Let me take Zhang Liao's head!" Hearing the King of Wu praising the enemy general, Sun Quan's generals, including Dong Xi, He Qi, and Zhongli Mu, were indignant. They shouted in unison, brandishing their swords and spears, and charged forward. Zhang Liao, seeing the three men were tall and strong, dressed in the armor and attire of generals, and their shouts thunderous, rode forward without panic. He spurred his horse forward, swept his spear, and with a "crack," broke the shaft of Zhongli Mu's broadsword. Then, with another spear thrust, he pierced Zhongli Mu's chest, knocking him from his horse. Enraged, Dong Xi and He Qi attacked simultaneously with their spears. Dong Xi held Zhang Liao's spearhead, while He Qi thrust his spear straight at Zhang Liao's abdomen. All three wielded long weapons, making it difficult to maneuver. Zhang Liao released his spear, leaned to the right, dodging He Qi's thrust, and grabbed both spearheads with his hands, shouting, "Invincible!" The powerful source energy of the Xingtian clan filled his palms, flowing through the spear shafts towards He Qi and Dong Xi. Although renowned generals of Eastern Wu, they were no match for Zhang Liao. A sharp pain shot through their arms, their spears slipping from their grasp. Zhang Liao reversed his grip, crossing his spears and thrusting them at the two men. These two were trusted generals of Sun Quan, their horses, weapons, and armor all of the highest quality, yet this thrust was no small matter; it pierced their chests, instantly knocking them off their horses. He Qi slowly rose, smashing the spear shaft down with his fist, and then attacked Zhang Liao, only to be swept away by Zhang Liao's spear, his head flying off. Although the Jiefan army was elite, they were all terrified by Zhang Liao's slaying of three generals. Though they surrounded Sun Quan, none dared to block his advance, only continuously firing arrows down the earthen hill. Zhang Liao, alone on horseback, tried to rush up the hill, but hundreds of large shields and long spears were densely arrayed in front of Sun Quan. Several attempts to charge failed, and his horse was struck by an arrow and collapsed. The Jiefan soldiers were overjoyed and swarmed forward, determined to capture Zhang Liao alive!
