Chapter 122 The Hegemon of Western Chu



The story of Yuan Tiangang, the Bad Commander, has come to an end.

He devoted himself to the Tang Dynasty during his lifetime, and after his death he was granted a thousand years of peace.

Once summoned by the Holy Grail, barring any unforeseen circumstances...

He will continue to strive to restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

But is this really what Yuan Tiangang wanted?

No, Li Chunfeng can answer this question for Yuan Tiangang.

Because no one understood Yuan Tiangang better than him.

The Tang Dynasty is long gone, and he was resurrected by the Holy Grail.

It's not a good thing for him; living for others is ultimately a lowly path.

For Yuan Tiangang, being reborn was nothing but a pipe dream.

Death may not necessarily be a bad thing.

Yuan Tiangang's body transformed into specks of starlight and dissipated, his soul power surging directly into Cao Yanbing's body.

The sudden surge of powerful soul energy caused Cao Yanbing to lose his composure, and darkness took over his control.

Lu Renjia had anticipated this, but it still wasn't enough.

He picked up the Longquan sword from the ground and casually tossed it in front of Li Xingyun and Li Chunfeng.

"Do it yourselves, or let me help you. Choose one."

He understood the importance of eliminating any potential threat at the root and would not let Li Xingyun and Li Chunfeng off the hook just because they lacked fighting ability.

Li Chunfeng picked up the Longquan sword and smiled calmly.

"Hahaha, I am not a person of this era. I have no regrets as I can witness the prosperity of the future."

"Yuan Tiangang, this old Taoist priest has come to keep you company!"

Having said that, he drew his sword, extended his neck, and committed suicide.

His body dissipated like Yuan Tiangang's, and his soul power was absorbed by Cao Yanbing.

Although Li Xingyun was an ordinary person, as a descendant of the Li Tang royal family, he was certainly not someone who feared death.

"Perhaps I overestimated myself. Li Chunfeng once advised me not to get involved, but I still joined in because of my greed."

"Today's outcome is entirely my own doing. But I've seen a different kind of scenery, and I have no regrets even if I die!"

Li Xingyun drew his sword and committed suicide, showing no remorse whatsoever.

His life was worthwhile because he was able to meet people like Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang.

Lu Renjia remained expressionless as he used his telekinetic powers to move the body away and bury it.

After finishing everything, he looked at the location where Sun Wukong and Xiang Yu were.

The battle there is also nearing its end.

"Clang clang clang!"

A series of metallic clanging sounds echoed throughout Juxia City, each collision generating a powerful shockwave.

"Hahaha, now this is a real battle! Don't run away, continue to fight me for another three hundred rounds!"

Xiang Yu clung to Sun Wukong like a leech, relentlessly pursuing him and giving him no chance to escape.

The army and civilians in Juxia City suffered countless deaths and injuries under the Qin cavalry, turning the city into a living hell.

Sun Wukong was furious, and it was all because Xiang Yu stopped him that he became like this.

"Damn it, it's all because of you that they died. I, Old Sun, will never let you get away with this!"

He understood that he couldn't do anything else without eliminating Xiang Yu.

The dark alloy rod emitted a black light, and terrifying energy suddenly erupted.

"ah!!!"

Sun Wukong spun several times in the air, then slammed his dark alloy cudgel down on Xiang Yu with the force of splitting a mountain.

Xiang Yu's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly raised his Overlord Spear to block in front of him.

With a loud clang, it was as if a bell rang throughout the entire city of Juxia.

This powerful blow caused Xiang Yu's Overlord Spear to bend into a strange arc, his tiger's mouth split open and blood gushing out.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable force blasted Xiang Yu, sending him crashing to the ground like a meteor.

"Boom!"

It crashed through several buildings and slammed into the ground, creating a deep crater.

Suddenly, dust and smoke rose up, adding a touch of mist to the hazy night.

At this moment, a large number of heavily armed soldiers and a torrent of steel appeared around where Xiang Yu fell.

They were soldiers under that high-ranking official, mostly rich kids and children of officials who came in to get a prestigious education.

I originally thought this would be an easy mission, and I could earn some merit points.

I never imagined the mission would be so dangerous.

Under the iron cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, they could run faster than ordinary people.

That's true; they were just people who got into the army through connections to gain prestige.

How could I possibly care about other people's lives?

Seeing that Sun Wukong had defeated Xiang Yu, they seized the opportunity to come out.

"Great Sage, leave this place to us. You go and deal with those iron cavalry; they are the biggest threat!"

Sun Wukong frowned, looking at the clean and tidy clothes on these people and fell into deep thought.

The guns they were carrying weren't even on safety; they didn't look like soldiers at all.

Some of the more intelligent among them, thinking themselves clever, rushed towards Xiang Yu's location.

He released the safety and unleashed a barrage of fire at the deep pit.

After firing a burst of bullets, he looked up at Sun Wukong and spoke formally.

"Great Sage, you can leave this place to us without worry. One person alone is definitely not as destructive as those iron cavalry."

They did this simply to prove that they could deal with Xiang Yu, whose fate was unknown.

As for the deadly Qin cavalry, they had no intention of going up there to their deaths.

Who is Sun Wukong? How could he not see through his little schemes?

Although angry, the city of Juxia is in imminent danger, and this is not the time for infighting.

But the moment he turned around, he felt a terrifying power erupting from the deep pit.

"laugh!"

The smoke and dust cleared, and Xiang Yu appeared before everyone, covered in blood.

The man who had just spouted such nonsense about dealing with Xiang Yu widened his eyes and lost control of his bladder and bowels.

Suddenly, a huge hand grabbed his head and crushed it with a crack.

Seeing this, those people suppressed their inner fear.

Trembling, he raised his gun and fired at Xiang Yu.

However, because their hands were shaking, very few bullets hit their targets.

Although Xiang Yu was seriously injured, his fighting spirit was higher than ever before.

He exhaled a wave of air, and his eyes flashed red.

The next moment, the Overlord Spear in his hand began to dance.

A gust of autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, instantly causing countless people and tanks to be thrown about, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.

However, not all of them are just sitting around doing nothing.

Several quick-thinking individuals took control of the tanks and immediately opened fire on Xiang Yu.

In an instant, the cannonballs engulfed Xiang Yu in the explosion.

"Did...did you get rid of it?"

But when the smoke and dust cleared again, Xiang Yu still stood in the same spot, without retreating an inch.

He said coldly, "Monkey, don't let these ants get in our way. If you want to leave, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

Sun Wukong sensed the cries of agony from the people in Juxia City.

His eyes turned cold, radiating a chilling glint.

"Since that's the case, I, Old Sun, will grant your wish!"

No sooner said than done, before the words had even finished, Sun Wukong dashed out like a bolt of lightning.

Xiang Yu laughed wildly and declared loudly, "Though I die today, I am still the Hegemon-King of Western Chu!"

Raise the Overlord Spear and gather all your strength into it.

In an instant, a spear slashed down at Sun Wukong, who was charging towards him.

Sun Wukong also swung his staff, and in an instant, he passed Xiang Yu.

With a clang, the Overlord Spear broke in two, its tip lying limply to the side.

A mark appeared on Xiang Yu's face from the stick, and blood oozed from it.

But he did not fall to the ground; instead, he walked away standing up.

After a long time, his body turned into golden light and disappeared.

The reign of a powerful ruler has come to an end.

Sun Wukong thought he had solved a major problem, but little did he know that he was creating an even bigger one.

When Lu Renjia saw Xiang Yu's soul merge into Cao Yanbing's body, he knew the time had come.

If we can incorporate the souls of the Five Tiger Generals, the Five Good Generals, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the Holy Grail War should be "over".

"Sun Wukong, you made the wrong choice. Otherwise, I would have had to put in a lot of effort."

After saying that, Lu Renjia didn't linger and walked towards where Cao Yanbing was.

At this time, the true Holy Grail also appeared in the city of Great Gorge, constantly drawing upon the desires of those people.

Huang Lao, who was under Lu Renjia's control, issued an order.

That means no one is allowed to leave Juxia City without permission; otherwise, they will be treated as traitors.

Of course, this order was given by Huang Lao at Lu Renjia's behest.

Angel Yan on Earth and Morgana on Mars both sensed that something was about to happen.

They couldn't help but focus their attention on Juxia City.
