Immortality and invincibility are so fragile in the face of such a small item. What if other systems use such terrifying items on him in the future?
At this moment, both those attacking and those defending the city were looking towards where Liu Ji was.
Liu Ji, who had just been claiming to be invincible, is now a pile of flesh and blood!
"Hiss..." Han Xin gasped. He never expected Xiang Yu to jump down from such a high place and crush Liu Ji to death!
Xiang Yu truly deserves to be called the God of War; he was unharmed after jumping from such a height.
Xiang Yu remained motionless in the position he had just landed, his hands still gripping the halberd, and he didn't utter a single word.
"Xiang Yu? Xiang Yu, are you alright?" Hao Jiu's lips twitched violently. Could it be that Xiang Yu had killed himself by being too reckless?
Although he had done ropeless bungee jumping several times when he traveled between dimensions before, this time was different. Not only was he higher, but he also clashed with Liu Ji's defensive magic weapon.
"I am fine, God of Wine need not worry. My feet are just a little numb from stomping. Has the black dragon been dealt with?" Xiang Yu had barely managed to suppress his surging blood and qi; he absolutely could not spit it out.
In fact, after they saw Liu Ji had a defensive magic weapon from the sky, Hao Jiu advocated waiting until night to launch a sneak attack, but Xiang Yu felt that now was also a good opportunity.
As long as he takes aim and smashes down with the Overlord's Halberd from high above, even if Liu Ji has protective magic treasures, the chances of killing Liu Ji are very high.
On the contrary, if the opponent's protective magic weapon is very powerful, the chances of a successful night raid are not high, at least not enough to achieve an instant kill. Therefore, Xiang Yu eventually persuaded Hao Jiu.
However, Hao Jiu originally planned to lower the altitude before making his move, but Xiang Yu seized the opportunity presented by the crossbow attack and jumped down directly!
Of course, Xiang Yu wasn't so reckless as to risk his life; he also had a healing pill in his mouth while he jumped.
"It's good that you're alright. Just don't take such risks next time..." Hao Jiu said, a satisfied smile finally appearing on his face.
This black dragon is so fat!
Chapter 147 Invincible
Divine soldiers descended from the heavens, annihilating the enemy with a single blow.
Let alone the Overlord's Halberd, even a small stone falling from that height could easily kill someone, which is why modern times prohibit objects from falling from heights.
Originally, Liu Ji was lucky to have worn the shield necklace before Xiang Yu's attack, but he was still instantly killed by Xiang Yu's divine intervention.
Zhou Xie glanced at the pile of meat on the ground, then at Xiang Yu, and immediately let out a pig-like scream, scrambling and crawling away.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! His Majesty has been killed by Xiang Yu! Run! Xiang Yu is coming!"
As soon as Zhou Xie shouted and ran, all the soldiers who were originally protecting Liu Ji also ran away. The instant kill was just too terrifying.
"Xiang, Xiang Yu?" Guo Meng held his sword, trembling all over. "Are you a man or a ghost?"
Xiang Yu looked up at Guo Meng and asked, "Couldn't he be a god?"
Before coming to this plane, Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu reached some consensus, such as whether it was necessary to hide their strength and whether to act in a low-key or high-profile manner.
The final conclusion was that the more high-profile the better, the better, ideally to be worshipped by all, and to be regarded as a god.
In this way, whether it's completing the task or unifying the entire distribution plane, things will be much easier and smoother.
"A god?" Guo Meng suddenly realized that Liu Ji had just been shouting that he was invincible, but in the blink of an eye, he was smashed into a pile of mangled flesh by Xiang Yu. Moreover, it seemed that Xiang Yu came down from the sky.
Clang... The sword fell to the ground.
Guo Meng's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, his mind filled with questions. Why were strange things happening one after another?
Ignoring Guo Meng and the others, Xiang Yu pulled out the Overlord's Halberd, which was adorned with a gemstone necklace.
"Dionysus, I can feel that the shield is really strong. Luckily, I used the force of the fall, otherwise it would not have been easy to cut through the shield."
"Although this shield is strong, it still has a limit. But it's still pretty good, a real treasure." Hao Jiu examined it carefully and it seemed to still be usable, just needing to be charged.
"God of Wine, I wish to give this treasure to Consort Yu for self-defense." In truth, Consort Yu was the one he trusted most, and she was his only remaining consort.
"If King Xiang had this treasure, it would be of great help in his future battles against powerful enemies. But if it were left with Yu Ji, it would only be used as a precaution and might not be needed."
As Hao Jiu spoke, he added 10 energy points to the gem, which immediately became crystal clear. "Xiang Wang, put it on. Let's see if it's broken, and then test the energy consumption."
"Okay," Xiang Yu replied in his heart, then took off the gemstone necklace with his hand.
As soon as their hands touched the gem, a faint golden light appeared around them, exactly the same as the shield that Liu Ji had seen in the sky.
At this moment, the Han army attacking the city finally realized what had just happened: Liu Ji was dead!
In an instant, all the Han soldiers who learned of this news turned around and ran away. The Han soldiers in the distance who did not know what was going on also ran away when they saw that everyone was retreating. The whole army was routed.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Chang's head buzzed. "How could this be! Quickly, go to His Majesty's aid!"
"His Majesty has been killed by Xiang Yu! Xiang Yu is coming... Run!" Zhou Xie shouted as he ran like a madman.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chang flew into a rage and slapped Zhou Xie across the face.
"Are you out of your mind! Xiang Yu is long dead! How could there be a Xiang Yu? What has happened to His Majesty?!"
Zhou Xie cried and snot streamed down his face. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has turned into a lump of rotten flesh! It was indeed Xiang Yu who did it. I was right beside Your Majesty, how could I be wrong! Xiang Yu is either not dead, or he is a vengeful ghost!"
"Get out!" Zhou Chang kicked Zhou Xie away. "His Majesty is in trouble! Come with me immediately to meet him!"
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers of the Han army reserve rushed towards where Liu Ji had just been.
At this moment, Guo Meng saw that Xiang Yu was completely ignoring him, and that Zhou Chang had already led his troops to reinforce him from behind, so he became bolder.
The key point is that Guo Meng felt that the Xiang Yu in front of him shouldn't be an evil spirit. How could there be an evil spirit in broad daylight? It must be that Xiang Yu used a substitute to die in his place and then hid himself.
As for Xiang Yu's claim of being a god, Guo Meng didn't believe it. At most, he was just a legendary Qi cultivator, right? Could Xiang Yu really be so lucky as to be deified after his death?
Thinking of this, Guo Meng noticed that the defeated soldiers who had retreated were also fleeing to Xiang Yu's vicinity. He immediately rolled away from Xiang Yu and then shouted loudly, "You are not allowed to retreat! Whoever avenges His Majesty and kills this scoundrel will be ennobled as a marquis of ten thousand households!"
The defeated soldiers originally thought that Liu Ji was dead and that there was no need to fight this battle. Unexpectedly, there was still a wealth waiting for them. Although Liu Ji was dead, there was still a crown prince to succeed him and help Liu Ji avenge his death. This title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households should be genuine!
Ugh!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The soldiers near Xiang Yu brandished their weapons and charged at him. Almost no one made a sound, because Xiang Yu had his back to them, making it the perfect time for a sneak attack!
However, regardless of the type of weapon, they all stopped a little over a foot away from Xiang Yu. These Han soldiers were using all their strength, but they still couldn't make an inch forward, and they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The sound of hooves suddenly rang out, and a burly Han army junior officer, wielding a long halberd, charged forward on horseback.
To increase his offensive power, he actually pressed the end of his halberd against his armor.
"Get out of the way! The Marquis of Wanhu is mine! Kill... Ah!"
Bang!
To everyone's astonishment, the Han army junior officer on horseback was sent flying, halberd and all!
Ah... Bang!
Guo Meng was completely dumbfounded. Xiang Yu was invulnerable to swords and spears? Wait, how come that's a bit like His Majesty's divine mandate protecting him?
"Oh, so this shield is elastic. Did Xiang Yu feel the impact? Move over there." Hao Jiu asked while collecting the scattered energy and items around him.
"No, perhaps the opponent's strength was too weak. When I hit Liu Ji, I didn't feel any rebound." Xiang Yu thought to himself as he walked in the direction Hao Jiu pointed out.
"Ouch... Ouch!" Guo Meng instinctively stepped back, but tripped over a stone.
"So it can only reflect half the damage, which is not bad. Can you use the shield to push others away?" Hao Jiu casually grabbed some larger pieces of black dragon and used a throwing knife to cut them a few times to reduce their size. Then he put them into his storage space. Completely removing impurities would take too much time, so he would roughly process them first and then slowly carve them when he had time.
Xiang Yu tried it out and said, "It should work if the opponent continues to exert force, but it won't work if the opponent doesn't exert force. It seems to only work when the opponent actively attacks."
"That means that suicide or carelessness can render the shield ineffective. For example, if Guo Meng trips and falls, and there is a sharp knife on the ground, he will die if he touches it, and even if he has a shield, it will be useless."
Hao Jiu thought about it again and realized that it made sense. If the shield was as solid as a physical object, wouldn't the person wearing it be unable to walk or touch anything? They would just push things away or roll around if they got too close, which would be so embarrassing.
"As long as we're careful, it's not a flaw." Xiang Yu deliberately moved around to areas where there was still energy and debris, letting the Han soldiers who wanted to seize the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households hack and slash at him. Those who were weak couldn't get an inch in, while those who were strong were simply thrown away.
The Han soldiers fought for so long that none of them dared to advance anymore; it must be divine intervention!
When Zhou Chang led his men up, they happened to see Xiang Yu strolling among the thousands of soldiers. Then, looking towards the carriage, they saw a large mass of flesh and blood on the ground, and the remaining armor was exactly the same as what Liu Ji had worn! It turned out that what Zhou Xie said was true!
"Retreat! Retreat immediately! The entire army must retreat!"
Chapter 148 Worship
On the walls of Dongyuan, the defending general Zhao Li was already stunned.
"My lord, it seems there is no need for our army to go into battle."
"Indeed, King Xiang is truly a god descended from heaven." Han Xin shook his head with a wry smile; whether he came or not really made any difference.
"Is this really Xiang Yu?" Zhao Li still couldn't quite believe it.
"It is Xiang Yu, but not the original Xiang Yu. This is Xiang Yu who has returned as a god!" Han Xin knew Xiang Yu's abilities. Not only could he ride a horse and fly in the sky, but he could also jump down from such a height and kill Liu Ji. The key point is that Xiang Yu was unharmed and could walk around in the midst of thousands of troops without being harmed by weapons. He was a true god.
Zhao Li took a deep breath. "Open the city gates! All soldiers, follow me out of the city to pay homage to King Xiang!"
...
While Han Xin and Zhao Li led their generals out of the city to pay their respects, Hao Jiu had also completed the recovery of the Black Dragon's legacy.
This time, the red item was used to kill it cleanly and swiftly, so the black dragon didn't have a chance to waste energy points, or rather, the black dragon didn't expect that item could kill it instantly.
Last time I killed the black dragon, I got more than 10,000 energy points, but this time I got more than 30,000!
There was also a portal item and a dragon ball. Add to that the magic shield necklace, and it was truly a very fruitful haul, another windfall. The Black Dragon system is really great!
For a fleeting moment, Hao Jiu actually thought that the flawed time-reversal item was quite nice, and wished there were more split planes.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking.
A rational analysis reveals that the six branch planes nearly caused the main plane to collapse; if there were a few more, it would likely have collapsed entirely.
Moreover, there is an even more direct problem: Liu Ji in history only reigned for eight years before he died. Although Liu Ji with the Black Dragon system might not die so early, what if he did die?
If the Black Dragon escapes through the portal, where will we catch it?
So, Hao Jiu is quite content now; everything is the best arrangement.
"Huh? What's that?" Xiang Yu vaguely saw something light up near Liu Ji's pile of corpses.
Xiang Yu hooked an ordinary bronze sword on the ground with his toe, caught it with his hand, and used the sword to scrape aside several pieces of flesh from the pile of corpses, revealing a crystal-clear jade pendant.
"This is a good thing, it's definitely not an ordinary item." Hao Jiu could tell it was a treasure as soon as he saw the faint energy flickering inside, and thought to himself that Xiang Yu's eyesight was really good.
