Of course, if Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu used all their strength, there was a high chance they could kill the opponent instantly or before the opponent could escape into the time portal.
The problem is that it is not yet certain that the target system is on Junchen, and after some observation, Hao Jiu increasingly feels that the target system may be on Zhongxingshuo.
Otherwise, who would have such a perverse sense of humor as to turn Junchen Chanyu into a eunuch?
"It seems that although this Chanyu Junchen has become a eunuch, his vicious heart remains unchanged. Overlord, don't rush to act. Wait for my signal." Hao Jiu suddenly felt that killing these people at this time would be too lenient for them.
"Hurry up!" Xiang Yu's anger had not subsided. He knew that the God of Wine must have his reasons, but he could not stand by and watch the Xiongnu slaughter the Central Plains.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't upset the tyrant." Hao Jiu smiled. This family really does have the heart of an emperor; they don't care about family ties!
Liu Wu was practically dragged to the gates of Boyang City. He regretted why he had surrendered and why he had come to find Junchen and Liu Ze. If the lord had gone to find Laoshang Chanyu, surely he wouldn't have been treated like this.
"Nephew, don't panic. We'll threaten to massacre the city later, and the Lu people won't dare to disobey," Liu Ze comforted him. In fact, he was also filled with regret. He should have followed the example of Prince Yan, Liu Jia, and feigned illness to provide some troops to help in the battle. What difference would it make if he came to the battlefield with them?
If there is only one master of the Central Plains, that old fellow Liu Bi, the King of Wu, will definitely not miss the opportunity to curry favor with the old Chanyu. If you want to compete with Liu Bi, you must first wait for Junchen to succeed to the throne.
Or perhaps, let Junchen follow the example of Modu?
"Uncle, Uncle, what if the people of Lu really don't surrender?" Liu Wu said, trembling.
After all, he was just a teenager. Even though he was the King of Chu, he was still just a king who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
When an emperor appoints princes, he does not consider their personal abilities first, but rather their bloodline and surname, and even enfeoffs children who are only a few years old as princes. What kind of governance is this?
Of course, this is also because after deceiving so many people, no one is trusted anymore. This is the only skill that some people call a wise and capable ruler who is good at using people.
Therefore, there is a saying that in the early Han Dynasty, from the emperor to the vassal kings and ministers, most of them used a method called "governing by doing nothing" to govern the country, and it would be strange if the country could be governed well.
However, if someone without real ability tries to make a difference in that position, it might backfire. They're already rotten to the core, so they might as well just do nothing.
Liu Wu's father was short-lived, so he ascended the throne very early. He also wanted to govern by doing nothing and just wanted to continue being the King of Chu in peace. In another two or three years, he would be able to enjoy beautiful women and come of age. He didn't want to die now!
Liu Ze just smiled and didn't say anything. "This is fine. Any further and the Lu people's arrows will be able to hit us. Shout a warning!"
"The King of Chu is here! Open the city gates at once!" a row of loud-voiced soldiers shouted desperately.
The garrison commander of Boyang was furious upon hearing this, "What kind of King of Chu is he! Surrendering to the Xiongnu and causing havoc in the Central Plains, he doesn't even deserve to be called a human being, let alone King of Chu! The only king in our hearts is Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King!"
"You all must surrender immediately... Ah!" Before the soldiers could finish their shouts, several arrows were hurled from the city wall, causing everyone to retreat in fright.
Liu Ze's face turned ashen. "Guards! Cut off the King of Chu's head and send it into the city!"
"Uncle..."
puff!
With a single stroke, Liu Wu was beheaded; he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
"See that? The head of the King of Chu is here! Surrender at once! Otherwise, our army will attack the city and slaughter everyone in Lu!" Liu Ze shouted at the top of his lungs, and the soldiers beside him echoed his cry.
"We don't know the King of Chu! Who knows who you killed? If you want to attack the city, then attack the city. Stop talking nonsense. The people of Lu will never surrender to the Xiongnu!" the Boyang garrison commander roared.
"The people of Lu swear to never surrender to the Xiongnu!"
"We swear we will never surrender!"
...
On the walls of Boyang, the people roared with unwavering determination, both soldiers and civilians were prepared to die for their cause.
"If the Overlord is alive, he will surely protect us and help us defeat the Xiongnu!" The general guarding Boyang thought to himself. If the Overlord were still alive, how would the Xiongnu dare to invade our Central Plains?
"May the spirit of the Overlord protect us and defeat the Xiongnu!"
"Defeat the Xiongnu!"
...
With his hands on his hips, Chanyu Junchen said, "Hmph! Where is the Overlord? Even if Xiang Yu were to rise from the dead, he would be no match for me now!"
"Who gave you the courage to challenge me, the King?" Xiang Yu suddenly appeared beside Chanyu Junchen.
"Oh my god!" Junchen Chanyu jumped to the side in fright. "Who are you?!"
"The one who will kill you is Xiang Yu, the Overlord!" Xiang Yu glared at him, thinking to himself, "This Junchen looks fierce and strong, so why is he speaking in such a sarcastic tone?"
Junchen Chanyu instinctively sensed a hint of danger. Whoever was impersonating Xiang Yu and could appear beside him silently was a terrifying being, and he had to go all out to deal with them!
It should be noted that the place where Junchen Chanyu was located was heavily guarded, and all of them were elite troops he had trained. In terms of combat power and loyalty, they were no less than the troops of Modu Chanyu back then.
Even if Junchen ordered these men to shoot Laoshang Chanyu, they would do so without hesitation, shooting wherever they were told!
"Release the arrows!" Chanyu Junchen pointed at Xiang Yu and gave the order.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Countless arrows came from all directions, showing no regard for the safety of Chanyu Junchen!
Xiang Yu frowned slightly and paused his attack on Junchen Chanyu. He wanted to see what kind of ability Junchen Chanyu had to spout such arrogant words. Could it be that the Xiongnu archers around him were all sharpshooters or that Junchen Chanyu was so skilled that he could calmly deal with the rain of arrows?
The answer will be revealed soon.
Clang clang clang...
Junchen Chanyu wore a confident smile. At such close range, there were bound to be many arrows aimed at him, but they were all deflected by his iron-hard body, without leaving a single drop of blood.
"Hahaha... I'm already an invincible god... You, you, how come you're alright too!" Junchen Chanyu's face, which resembled a cactus, turned pale with fright.
The rain of arrows stopped, but not a single one touched Xiang Yu; they were all deflected by the barrier formed by his domineering energy.
Xiang Yu smiled slightly, "Interesting. Invulnerable to swords and spears? Then you'd better try to defend against this move of mine."
The blood storm has descended once again!
Chapter 352 Longing
A blood-red storm is coming!
Puff puff puff...
Ahhh...
"No!" Chanyu Junchen almost died of heartache. The opponent's move was not just aimed at him alone. The attack range was too large, it was like a barrage of arrows!
Junchen's elite troops, which he had painstakingly trained, suffered heavy casualties in an instant, but he was completely helpless.
At this moment, Junchen dared not move. Tiny wounds spread across his body, making him look more and more like a frightened cactus.
"Who are you?!" Junchen Chanyu desperately tried to defend against the invisible attack, but he was still covered in blood.
Cutting like this, slice by slice, the final outcome is still death, only with more pain.
But Chanyu Junchen did not want to die like this. He had just acquired the divine power of invulnerability to swords and spears, and before he could unify the world, he was going to be cut to death.
"Is that all you've got?" Xiang Yu had only tested the opponent's defenses briefly, and the result was far inferior to the Overbearing Aura. It could only defend against ordinary arrow attacks, and even the Iron Block technique from the Six Forms was stronger.
Junchen Chanyu was somewhat bewildered. What did he mean by "that's all the ability he has"?
"Only gods can be invulnerable to swords and spears... Ah!"
"If you don't go all out, you're going to die." Xiang Yu increased the depth of the cut. Although slow slicing would make Junchen Chanyu die a very gruesome death, it was too time-consuming and unnecessary.
Junchen cried, "I...I have used all my strength! Please spare my life! I am willing to be your sword. I can help you kill the old Chanyu and give you the whole world!"
"Old Chanyu? Oh, I forgot to tell you, I've already cut off his head. You are now the Chanyu of Junchen. But this world is not for a mere Xiongnu eunuch like you!" Xiang Yu said, then intensified his attack.
"A eunuch?" Chanyu Junchen's eyes widened suddenly.
Puff puff puff...
When Chanyu Junchen died, his head also fell off, and the surrounding Xiongnu army was almost all dead, seemingly easier to kill than a swarm of ants.
The defenders on Boyang City stared blankly at the spectacle in the distance. The blood-red storm had only circled once before the Xiongnu army was completely wiped out.
Liu Ze's legs went weak and he forgot to breathe. He suddenly felt very lucky. If he were still with Jun Chen, he would probably be dead by now.
How could there be a blood-red hurricane in this world? It's terrifying!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, should we surrender or run away?" a guard reminded him. Was this the time to stand there dumbfounded?
Liu Ze suddenly realized that the man seemed to have come to persuade him to surrender, and even said he was going to massacre the city.
Why even bother surrendering?
"Run!" Liu Ze originally wanted to run towards the Qi Kingdom, but then he felt that it was not right. With Mount Tai blocking the way, he probably couldn't escape. It would be safer to run south to the Wu Kingdom to find the old Chanyu and the King of Wu. However...
Just then, the city gates opened!
Liu Ze, “…”
...
At Guangling Ferry, the air still reeks of blood.
Previously, Ji Bu, Ji Xin, and Ji Si arrived here by boat, and then...
Everywhere was a scene of horrific hell, mostly inhabited by Huns, their faces contorted and grotesque, clearly terrified.
However, the Hun soldiers around the high platform did not appear to be in great pain; at most, they were somewhat shocked. But they were all neatly arranged, and even though their bodies were separated, they still largely maintained the formation of a square.
This shows that these elite Xiongnu guards were killed instantly. Some tried to rush to the platform, but died before they could even touch the steps.
"Generals, you've finally arrived." Luan Bu turned around on the high platform, with several maids kneeling beside him.
"General Luan, could they be..." Ji Bu said, pointing at the maids.
“That’s right, they are survivors. Not only them, but the women imprisoned in the army also survived. But those people only saw a bloody storm, while they saw the Overlord himself!” Luan Bu’s words were astonishing.
"Have you all seen the Overlord?" Ji Xin immediately rushed over and grabbed one of them, asking.
"General, spare us! We don't know who that person was, but he was very tall, very heroic, and very young. He suddenly appeared on the high platform, said a few words, and killed the Xiongnu Chanyu," the maid recalled.
"What did he say?" Ji Bu never expected that the Overlord's appearance was actually his true form, and that he personally killed hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers.
Because Luan Bu had asked the question several times before, the maids answered fluently.
"At first, the entire fleet on the river suddenly sank. The old Chanyu was shocked and said, 'How is this possible! How can the Hegemon-King Xiang Yu still protect the people after his death? Where are the strategist's disciples? Come to me immediately!'"
Then someone behind him answered. There shouldn't have been a second man on that platform, but he had suddenly appeared and replied, "He can't come."
This question terrified both us and the Chanyu (ruler of the Xiongnu). The Chanyu asked him, "Who are you?" But he didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Which of you, Zhongxing Yue or Junchen, possesses supernatural powers beyond human comprehension? Tell me, and I'll grant you a whole corpse."
The old Chanyu did not answer, but continued to ask who it was, and even ordered his soldiers to come up and capture the person. Then the Chanyu's head was cut off! The person did not lift a finger at all.
