With a loud shout from Daoist Qianyuan, the seven people's magical power instantly converged, transforming into the Big Dipper, echoing the stars outside the cave. Then, they headed towards Xiang Yu.
"Do you know why we haven't made a move yet? It's to kill you completely! Before today, you've never truly lived. Therefore, no matter how powerful the imperial court is, how could it possibly kill a dead man who has already died once?"
"Now, your true spirit has reappeared from the river of time. At the same time, your destiny is still nonexistent, and you are at the lowest point of your fortune. This is truly the best time to kill you. Coupled with that piece of trash from before, your killing intent has been released, and your strongest strike has already passed."
Looking at Xiang Yu before him, Daoist Qian Yuan said happily. This killing trap was one he had personally set up. Now that it had finally come to fruition, how could he not be happy?
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu fell silent. He felt that these men, born in a time of peace, were far too naive. Did they think he was an easy target?
"Here comes the knife!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an ordinary-looking precious sword appeared instantly in Xiang Yu's hand from an infinite distance. The moment it touched his hand, it emitted a dazzling seven-colored light.
Then, looking at the treasured sword in his hand, Xiang Yu smiled freely. This thunder sword was forged by chance in another great world during his reincarnation, using the corpse of a fallen innate deity, the Thunder God.
In terms of quality alone, this sword is a level above Xiang Yu's.
"Old buddy, it's been 20,000 years. Let's fight side by side again today. These guys in front of us, each one individually, are not strong, but together they are worth a beating."
As he spoke, the thunder blade in his hand automatically chimed, as if in response. Then, glancing at the approaching Big Dipper constellation, Xiang Yu lightly swung his blade.
There was no skill involved, nothing special about it; it was just a single swing of the sword. Yet, in the eyes of Daoist Qian Yuan, it was like the end of the world.
After a single strike, the Big Dipper disappeared completely. Moreover, the sharp blade energy, the blade intent that could destroy everything, actually flowed back through the magical power and attacked the primordial spirit.
puff!
His primordial spirit suffered minor damage, but his physical body was more than half destroyed. However, being an Earth Immortal cultivator, he didn't care much about his physical body.
With a breath and a wave of his hand, Qian Yuan's body, which had been missing limbs, was instantly restored. However, before Qian Yuan could make any further move, Xiang Yu struck again!
"Not bad, being able to block a casual strike with three-tenths of my strength is barely considered a solid foundation. For this next strike, I'll be more serious and use six-tenths of my strength," Xiang Yu said calmly.
"Form the formation! This time, defend!" Daoist Qianyuan shouted.
In his view, it was clear that they had been careless and their weakness had been exploited. After all, the effects of double pupils were varied.
Perhaps Xiang Yu's eyes were specifically designed to find weaknesses. Therefore, his defeat at the hands of a supernatural being is understandable.
However, just as Xiang Yu was battling the seven masters of the Imperial Observatory, Wang Yue, Xun Shuang, and the others also appeared in the cave.
Seeing this, Zhang Rang couldn't help but shout, "Lady Xiang, these Taoist priests, and the Nine-Tailed Fox King, do you really want to fight against our Han Dynasty to the end? Now that Xiang Yu has been resurrected, you can leave, whether to repay a favor or to fulfill a promise."
"If this continues, it will truly be a fight to the death with the imperial court! When the court is determined, with a million-strong army and countless experts, who can stop them?"
Upon hearing this, although Zhang Rang's words carried a threatening tone, they also made sense. If they continued to fight, they might truly anger the imperial court. If the court couldn't do anything to Xiang Yu then, could they really do nothing to them?
“What you say makes sense, Attendant Chang. I came here today only to repay a favor to the Xiu family. Now it seems that I have repaid it.” After saying this, Lady Xiang let go and left. Before leaving, she gave Yu Ji a special look.
“Haha, I am the same way, Taoist. Now that King Xiang has been resurrected, I will not linger any longer.” Zhang Jiao carefully observed the scene before speaking.
"Yes, now that King Xiang has come back to life, it's time for him to leave as agreed," the Fox King said with a smile, turning his large tail behind him.
Soon, the four people who had helped left. The next scene was Xiang Yu fighting alone against seven Taoist priests from the Imperial Observatory, plus Zhang Rang, Ma Teng, Xun Shuang, and Wang Yue.
"Haha, not bad, not bad at all! I've just been resurrected, and such a great battle is already waiting for me. Heaven is really kind to me!" Xiang Yu laughed heartily. However, as soon as he finished speaking, his aura rose to another level.
"Sixth rank? This is sixth rank! How is that possible? If it were half-step seventh rank, after being torn apart by five horses, the clone formed from one of the heads should, at most, be at the peak of the fifth rank!" Zhang Rang exclaimed in astonishment, his eyes wide.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue blinked and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Truly worthy of being called the Overlord. His true spirit has been in a state of stagnation for nine out of twenty thousand years, yet as soon as he emerged, he had already comprehended the secrets of the seventh level of body refinement and rebirth through a drop of blood."
With that, he drew his Chun Jun sword from his bosom once more. This time, he was going to fight to the death! If he didn't fight now, he might not even have a chance to fight at all!
The Wu County Annals record: On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year during the Han Dynasty, a rainbow pierced the sun, and its sound could be heard for hundreds of miles.
At that time, magnificent palaces and pavilions appeared in the daylight. Endless purple hues surged and boiled in the sky.
The boundless radiance flowed ceaselessly for several hours. The next day, within a radius of hundreds of miles, all birds vanished, and all livestock perished. Even the flowers, grasses, and trees withered and died in vast majority.
The villagers found it strange!
...
The high priest is dead!
Daoist Qian Yuan is dead! He died from the Nine Slashes of the Overlord!
Of the remaining six Taoist priests from the Imperial Observatory, three were killed, one was crippled, and two were seriously injured! The array diagram was also destroyed with a single strike!
Liu Feng, a skilled member of the imperial family, ultimately died because of his surname Liu!
Zhang Rang is seriously injured!
Ma Teng is seriously injured!
The sage's handwritten letter from the Xun family caught Xiang Yu's attention, and was immediately destroyed! Xun Shuang was seriously injured!
In this battle, if Wang Yue hadn't broken through to the sixth rank at the last moment, achieving perfect harmony between man and sword, and relying on Chun Jun's power, they might have been wiped out.
After hearing Guo Jia's account, Lin Yang was speechless! Looking at their fate, Lin Yang suddenly realized that his previous attack and entry into the cave was truly a stroke of good fortune, a sign of divine favor!
Otherwise, if I were already in Jiangdong, already in my fiefdom, the entire Wu Kingdom would probably be wiped out!
No matter how strong your luck or how good your fortune, you're unlikely to have a good ending when facing the newly resurrected Xiang Yu, with such overwhelming power.
You should know that whether it is the great swordsman Wang Yue, the head of the Xun family Xun Shuang, or the director of the Imperial Observatory Qian Yuan Dao Ren, none of them are weak!
But what was the result? Once Xiang Yu's killing intent flared up, they all fell! In such a peaceful era, those who could reach the fifth rank could not be considered weak.
