Chapter 189 Zhang Tong VS Huang Zhong (1/2)
Chapter 189 – Zhang Tong VS Huang Zhong
He fired the arrow, which traveled in a speed of 350 km/h, aiming at the head of his enemy general.
Tong, who was the target of the archer general, sensed the condensed killing intent locking onto him and a foreboding threat.
”[Time Stop]!”
Because Tong could not tell where the threat was from, he activated his [Time Stop] skill.
The world turned colorless once more, and Tong looked around for an anomaly that threatened him. The moment he looked toward his left, he saw an arrow, which was paused in mid-air, pointing straight at the location where his temple was before he used the skill.
”What!?”
It was a close call and the right call for activating his skill. Had Tong activated it slower for a second, his brain would have been pierced by the arrow.
Tong darted his eyes around at the source of the arrow, searching for the shooter.
It took Tong half a second to see the owner of the arrow. It was an archer in a unique armor set, signifying that he was an important person in the army. He was standing with an arrow shooting pose on the top of an archer tower a hundred meters away.
'A general? A commander?'
'It doesn't matter. Since you're aiming for my life, I'll take yours first!'
Tong aimed his gun at the archer general.
*Clank*
The pistol ran out of ammo.
'Bad luck. But I have plenty of time.'

Tong reloaded his gun, loaded the chamber, and pointed at the shooter again.
*Clack*
The gun did not fire a bullet. It gave out a weird sound, but Tong knew about this phenomenon well.
'Gun jamming at this time!? Are you kidding me!?'
The bullet that Tong loaded stuck in the chamber. He took out the clip and held the gun slide with his left hand. Tong slapped the handle hard to move the slide and get rid of the stuck bullet in the chamber.
<you have=”” 4=”” seconds=”” remaining=””>>
The bullet still stuck and the gun slide had not moved a bit.
'Dammit! Move!'
Tong slapped the gun again with all his strength. The gun was unjammed. However, Tong exerted too much force. The gun slide broke and pieces of gun parts scattered into the air.

In anger, Tong threw the broken gun away and pulled a new gun from his inventory.

He loaded a new clip into the gun and aimed at the archer general again.

…
Huang Zhong, style name Hansheng, was serving as Liu Biao Army's grand commander. He excelled in melee duel, archery, range warfare, and other tactics.
In the modern world historical records, Huang Zhong served Liu Biao from the very beginning of his career.
After Sun Jian's death and the Jing Province was entirely under control of Liu Biao, he was assigned to be a commander to protect Changsha Commandery with Liu Biao's nephew, Liu Pan from the remnants of the rebels. In 208, he was transferred from being a commander to a major-general under the governor of Changsha who was also a subordinate of Liu Biao, Han Xuan.
Huang Zhong surrendered to Liu Bei later on and became one of the five tiger generals under his new master. He had left a historical battle record as he defeated Cao Cao's forces at Mount Dingjun in Hanzhong District, which his army killed Xiahou Yuan in the battle.
Unlike the usual windfall where Tong stole talents from the warlords left and right, this legendary general appeared here as Tong's enemy.
…
After shooting his arrow, Huang Zhong saw something impossible.
Tong, who should have been killed by the arrow, blinked! The arrow missed its target while Tong reappeared again in the nearby location with the muzzle of the gun pointing at Huang Zhong.
The archer general sensed Tong's killing intent. Though he did not know what the thing in Tong's hand could do, he ducked, avoiding the muzzle trajectory.
*BANG*
The bullet had gone into the head of an archer behind Huang Zhong's back, ending his life on the spot.
The general looked back and saw what happened to his soldier. He had a chill running down his spine.
'That brat's reflex is on the elite general level! This is bad news!'
'The weapon in his hand is also scary! What the hell is that!?'
Huang Zhong swallowed his saliva, steeling and motivating himself into the battle. Even if he were scared of Tong, he would not give up with just simple intimidation.
”BRING IT!”
Huang Zhong roared. He took another arrow from his quiver and launched a super arrow. This arrow was still as fast as the previous arrow he shot at Tong at the speed of 350 km/h.
Tong also overclocked his brain to the limit. He saw the trajectory of the incoming arrow and forced his body to dodge.
Tong shifted his head to the left, and the first arrow went past the spot where his forehead was. Tong countered it with a bullet.
