Mystery Of This World

At that time, Dugu Yi prowess shocked the warlords

Top of Form

Xiahou Cao, recognizing the formidable threat posed by Dugu Yi, advocated for a gathering of all eighteen warlords to devise a cohesive strategy to defeat this indomitable foe. 

He cautioned that if Dugu Yi remained unchecked, Zhuo Bufan forces would win

And that if Dugu Yi was somehow defeated, Zhuo Bufan would essentially be a pushover.

In a moment of bravery, Dugu Yi once more strode forth to confront the coalition, openly challenging anyone to face him. 

Gongsun Zan, renowned for his bravery, stepped forward to confront this living legend. 

However, after only a few intense rounds, Gongsun Zan found himself in dire straits and wisely chose to withdraw from the battle, likely sparing his life in the process. 

This act of retreat, while humiliating, allowed him to live to fight another day.
