"Can……"
No sooner had Hao Jiu finished speaking than Xiang Yu leaped over the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard. Then, crouching low, he rushed at full speed toward the inner courtyard where Liu Ji was. He stopped abruptly, dodged, and crouched on the roof like a superhero.
Even if someone saw it, they would only see a fleeting black shadow, because it was moving too fast.
However, the guards inside the inner quarters, especially the two guards at the outer door of the bedroom, could not be avoided.
Coincidentally, the guards inside the house weren't paying attention to anything outside...
This is a golden opportunity!
Chapter 127 Instant Kill!
Slap! Slap!
In the blink of an eye, Xiang Yu knocked the two guards unconscious and laid them down so that they were leaning against each other and asleep.
At this moment, Hao Jiu had already peeked inside to check the situation. "Xiang Wang, be careful, there is still a guard awake on the bed inside."
Xiang Yu drew his sword, opened the door, and rushed inside. The hall was dimly lit, and he saw a person lying on the bed, covering his ears with his hands, his face extremely pale.
It was none other than Guo Meng, Liu Ji's personal bodyguard!
At that moment, Guo Meng also saw Xiang Yu. He opened his mouth and stood up to draw his sword, but before he could utter a sound, his head flew off.
Xiang Yu killed Guo Meng instantly without stopping, grabbing the man's head and rushing straight into the inner bedroom.
The moment the door opened, Madam Qi was looking at Liu Ji with a resentful expression when something hit her right on the forehead, and she fainted.
Liu Ji was startled on the spot. Just as he was about to scream, Xiang Yu pierced his throat with a sword.
The whole process was extremely fast, giving Liu Ji no time to react at all.
In the last second of his life, Liu Ji finally recognized the person who had suddenly barged in to kill him—it was none other than Xiang Yu!
Why would Xiang Yu be here? Before Liu Ji could come up with an answer, his mind went blank.
The swift killing of Liu Ji surprised both Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu. Had Liu Ji's system malfunctioned, or had Liu Ji's incredible luck run out?
However, now is not the time to think about these issues; killing Liu Ji and Black Dragon are still important.
"Use the system to capture the item (modified)!" Hao Jiu immediately threw a red ball at Liu Ji's corpse.
At the same time, Xiang Yu also retreated quickly, adopting a bow stance, ready to deal with the pull of the chains at any time.
Although this new item is also called a system capture item, it is clearly different from the last one. The name has the word "modified" added, and the color is a single red.
According to Hao Jiu's understanding, this prop should be specifically used for these six time-divided planes, and its usage count is 6/6, although there are still 5/6 left.
"You're not already dead... Ah!" Black Dragon looked at Hao Jiu in shock.
Then the red ball instantly emitted several beams of red light, piercing through the black dragon's body in one go.
The black dragon was in a weakened state at the time and was instantly torn to pieces before it could even react.
This time, Black Dragon didn't even have time to use the Time Gate before he kicked the bucket!
My goodness, that was too fast, too brutal!
Hao Jiu stared dumbfounded at the small red ball, feeling extremely apprehensive. If this thing were to attack him like the last scoundrel, indiscriminately targeting friend or foe, he would probably be crippled or dead by now.
Xiang Yu was also somewhat surprised, "God of Wine, the chains aren't coming, are they?"
"I don't think so, right?" Hao Jiu mustered his courage and put the red ball into his storage space.
Then, Hao Jiu's eyes curved into crescent moons, and his smile became as lewd as could be.
This time, the black dragon was instantly killed, and didn't even have time to squander its energy points!
Furthermore, the fragments of the black dragon were not recovered, suggesting that the red orb's purpose was simply to kill the target system and it did not have a recovery function.
The room was filled with golden energy and module fragments, and there were even two items!
One is the time portal that the black dragon released when it escaped last time, and the other is a blood-red dragon ball. Neither of them are bound to the other!
A total of 10597 energy points have been collected!
Hao Jiu thus determined that the tens of thousands of blue pills he had obtained last time were worth around 10,000 energy points, which was likely 1 energy point per pill.
This is outrageous! Judging by the price, it probably isn't anything good. As for its specific effects, he hasn't had a chance to test it yet.
In short, this blitzkrieg was a great success. It's true that people can't get rich without unexpected windfalls, and horses can't get fat without night grazing.
After collecting the energy points and items, Hao Jiu turned his attention to the black dragon fragments floating in the room.
Hao Jiu was more interested in the Black Dragon System's modules than in the items and energy points.
Although the black dragon has been broken into countless pieces of varying sizes, there are about a dozen larger pieces. Could there still be intact modules hidden inside?
However, there isn't enough space to put all of these things into the storage space. Storing virtual items in his storage space also takes up a certain amount of space.
After retrieving Xiang Yu's weapons and armor from the split dimension by the river, there wasn't much extra space left in that one cubic meter of storage. Even if they threw out both sets of Xiang Yu's armor, it probably wouldn't be enough.
Hao Jiu picked up a fragment and examined it closely. He suddenly realized that the black dragon's enormous body was not entirely composed of functional modules; it was also filled with many unknown black impurities.
The boundary between these impurities and the functional modules is quite clear; the functional modules are all gold.
So Hao Jiu spat out the flying knife from his body and carefully began cutting it. After removing the impurities, even if the remaining modules were broken and couldn't be fused, they could still be put into the storage space.
Just then, the sound of someone speaking came from outside the door.
"Does this brat have a death wish? How dare he slack off and sleep... Ah! An assassin!"
It turned out that the other guards outside had discovered that the two guards at the gate had been knocked unconscious, and immediately shouted, "General Guo Meng! There's an assassin!"
Whoosh!
Xiang Yu extinguished the oil lamp with a single sword stroke, plunging the room into complete darkness.
"Is the Prince of Han alright?" the guard captain asked tremblingly.
However, their response was a perfectly healthy human head thrown out of the bedroom window!
The guard picked it up and saw that it belonged to Guo Meng.
"Ah! General Guo! Something's wrong! The Prince of Han has been assassinated! Quickly inform General Lü!" The guard captain's head was buzzing. Guo Meng's head was thrown out of the Prince of Han's room. Was the Prince of Han still alive?
"Xiang Yu, buy me some time so I can clean up the battlefield." As Hao Jiu spoke, he threw Xiang Yu's armor out of his storage space. "There's not enough space. Xiang Yu, you should wear your own armor. It'll be perfect for breaking through later."
"Alright." Xiang Yu didn't refuse and picked up the largest piece of breastplate to put on, not at all afraid of being shot in by outsiders.
In fact, let alone the highest-ranking officer guarding the outside being a squad leader, even if Lü Ze were there, he wouldn't dare to do it. What if Liu Ji were knocked unconscious by the assassin and taken hostage, or simply become a meat shield?
Shortly afterward, Lü Ze and Lü Shizhi arrived at the scene at the same time.
Lu Ze couldn't fathom who could have bypassed all the guards, killed Guo Meng, and sneaked into Liu Ji's bedroom. The skill was incredible, especially since they hadn't even uttered a cry for help.
“Brave warriors inside, please do not harm the King of Han. If you have any conditions you require, please state them. I am Lü Ze, the Grand General of Han, and I will do my utmost to meet your requests,” Lü Ze said, clasping his hands in a fist salute from behind his shield.
However, no one answered.
Lu Ze frowned and gave Lu Shizhi a meaningful look. Lu Shizhi beckoned, and several scouts immediately circled around from the side, some to the door and others to the window.
Lu Ze's first priority is to determine whether Liu Ji is alive or dead, but since the people inside are not saying a word, he has no choice but to send someone to see for himself.
Suddenly, a person flew out of the room and headed straight for Lü Ze, startling him greatly.
Lu Ze thought that assassins had attacked, and the spearmen and archers around him also attacked at the same time.
Puff puff puff...
Pierced by a hail of arrows and spears, the man who flew out was dead beyond any doubt.
"Stop!" Lu Ze exclaimed, lifting the dead man's chin with his hand. "Ah! Han, the King of Han?"
Lu Shizhi's head buzzed. They killed Liu Ji?
Just then, Hao Jiu put the last cleaned module into the storage space, "Hehehe, Xiang Yu, I'm done."
Xiang Yu sheathed his sword. "Bring me your halberd! You worthless wretch Lü Ze, prepare to die! The one who will kill you is... Xiang Yu, the Overlord!"
boom!
Bricks and stones flew everywhere.
The house collapsed!
Chapter 128 Spray him and kill him!
Xiang Yu was cautious on his way here, but after he finished his business, he had fewer concerns. Moreover, he was pleasantly surprised when Lü Ze actually came to him.
If he had stayed further away, Xiang Yu might not have wasted his time killing him.
When Lü Ze and the Han soldiers outside heard Xiang Yu's voice coming from inside the room, everyone thought they had misheard. How could that be!
However, Xiang Yu gave them no time to react, smashing the entire wall with a single blow, and then bursting out of the room.
Snap snap snap...
Ahhh...
More than a dozen Han soldiers were killed on the spot by flying bricks and stones.
Although Lü Ze escaped by hiding behind the shield, the shield soldier who had just protected him was instantly knocked away, and he watched as a large hand grabbed his neck.
With a snap, Lü Ze's head lolled to the side and he died, without even a chance to say his last words!
"Brother! I'll fight you to the death!" In a fit of rage, Lü Shizhi drew his sword and charged forward. He had initially thought the other party was going to capture Lü Ze as a hostage, but instead, the other party directly attacked him.
puff!
With a single halberd strike, Xiang Yu cleaved Lü Shizhi in two, then with a backhand severed the heads of Liu Ji and Lü Ze, and charged straight towards the south gate of Guyang.
Upon seeing this, the Han soldiers in the courtyard all ran away in a panic, wishing their parents had given them more legs!
News quickly spread throughout the city: Xiang Yu had stormed into Guyang at night, beheading Liu Ji, Lü Ze, Lü Shizhi, and Guo Meng before leaving triumphantly!
Carrying two passes, Xiang Yu arrived at the city wall without any hindrance, and then shouted towards the southeast, "Wuzhui!"
