Chapter 1
Chapter 1
The sky was covered by tens of thousands black clouds . The sound of cries, death throes, rain storm, and occasionally the sound of thunder were mixing together .
"Follow the child of heaven!"
"Follow the prince!"
"The Han is dead!"
"Long live Yellow Turbans!"
Below the sky lied the battlefield, a young man wearing a yellow headband and a full set of leather armor was charging into the Imperial army formation . Behind his back, a formation of militias, wearing similar yellow head bands and bandanas, were also charging into the opposite files of formation .
"Zhang Tong is isolated . Surround him!"
"Stop the Yellow Turbans!"
"That monster Zhang Tong is in front . Kill him!"
"Protect the general!"
The yellow headband young man in the front of his troops was Zhang Tong . He was swinging his blade and danced into enemy soldiers dense formation, killing over dozen men in his path . However, he was isolated from his troops . He did not make any mistake in troops manding or fell into any trap . He purposely dove into the enemy ranks .
"Zou Jing, you coward . How long are you going to keep hiding!?"
Zou Jing, a general of the imperial force, who was being protected by his personal guards, was hiding timidly behind his guards back and was looking around for a chance to get away from this place as fast as he could . His demeanor was nowhere of that of a dignified leader of a battalion .
"Retreat! Sound the retreat!"
Zou Jing shouted as if it were his last word in his life . He crossed with Zhang Tong in the past and witnessed Zhang Tong's "magic" . That "magic" still traumatized him even in his sleep . Seeing Zhang Tong within 100 meters in front of him caused his legs to go limb and all his strength escaped him .

"Brother, we need to help the general . Let's hurry . "
"Understood, I'll be going then . "
"Hah! Second brother is trying to gain more credits . I won't lose to you . I'm going too!"
Three men on the horses, were leading a battalion of a thousand militia footmen in the front . Seeing that Zou Jing Battalion was in disarray and the Yellow Turbans Army were at advantage . They decided to rush in and help . Their troops were form for the purpose of eliminating the Yellow Turbans Army in the first place so there was no reason not to help .
The tall man in front spared no time and rushed in between Zou Jing and Zhang Tong .
"Brat . You go no further . "
A tall red face man with the blue dragon halberd, was charging forward and was making a bee-line toward Zhang Tong . A savage scruffy beard man and a scholarly looking man on a full set of iron armor were following behind .
'Damn it . Those three hypocrites really appear here . I thought they were in other platoon . The novel version said they would appear later to help Zou Jing but it seems they were in the same platoon from the start . '
Zhang Tong recognized the people that were ing after him . They were the important historical figures in the East Han and Three Kingdoms eras . The person in front were none other than Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei .
'I only have one bullet left . Unless I can get close to Zou Jing and kill him with my blade, I can't afford to use it on them . '
Zhang Tong clenched onto his 9mm Glock pistol in his left hand . His right hand was still holding a bloodstained blade . He was saving his last bullet for the emergency . But now he was facing his dilemma .
'I should have save some bullets . I was too immature . '
Zhang Tong relied in his pistol too much in the past . Most of his bullets were wasted on ordinary soldiers before this battle .
'Should I change trend of the history here and now for my benefits in the long run, or should I focus on the mission at hand . '
He glanced at his mission status in the corner of his eyes .

******************
'No, I have to finish the mission or I'm dead . The punishment for failure is too harsh . '
Zhang Tong dreaded the other players . They were all otherworlders just like him and all of them had at least one unique cheat in their arsenal . Therefore, revealing his location on the HUD map were tantamount to a suicide .
'I wanted to kill you three idiots so bad . But it seems you are fated to live on a little longer . '
Zhang Tong looked in front of him, locating Zou Jing and his personal guards .
'Roughly 40-50 meters between the target and me . I can do it . '
"Time Stop!"
Zhang Tong shouted . The atmosphere around him suddenly paused and the world became greyscale . The rain drops and mud-water-splash on the ground paused in mid-air . Guan Yu and his horse that were charging at him stopped in mid-motion . The chaotic ambience screams became silent . Only Zhang Tong retained his movement, the yellow clothes on him were the only color remained in the world and so his consciousness .
