“Azure Scale Mountain?”
Ying Zheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted sternly, “Little girl, since you are from Azure Scale Mountain, I will spare your life. Leave quickly, or I will take your life!”
The Moonlight Girl smiled slightly and said, “The legendary Qin Shi Huang is indeed so tyrannical…”
“Since you know that I am the Son of Heaven, why don’t you release the Vine Dragon? Hmph, it has been a long time since I have seen the magic of Azure Scale Mountain…”
“You want me to release the Vine Dragon spell?”
The girl smiled lightly, and suddenly a chilling Cold Light shot from her beautiful eyes as she said, “Dream on! Have you forgotten the massacre in Azure Star Valley half a month ago? Hmph, there were over 3,000 households in Azure Star Valley, with tens of thousands of people living there, most of whom were descendants of the Water God Clan. They were slaughtered overnight, and the clan's treasures—the Water God Spear and the Water God Shield—disappeared without a trace. Could it be unrelated to you?!”
…
Ying Zheng trembled suddenly but then threw his head back and laughed wildly. His gaze was fierce, revealing his sovereign demeanor as he said coldly, “This Lower Capital belongs to me. What does it matter if I claim the little Water God Spear and Water God Shield for myself? Azure Scale Mountain has always been isolated from worldly affairs; why should they speak up for the tens of thousands of lives in Azure Star Valley today?”
The Moonlight Girl gritted her silver teeth and said softly, “You tyrant who tramples on human lives, everyone wants you dead. Although I am a disciple of Azure Scale Mountain and do not kill, I must stop you from harming the Common People!”
As she spoke, the Moonlight Girl raised her staff and began to chant an obscure incantation. In the next moment, the surrounding Vines began to move as if they had a spirit of their own, quickly binding Ying Zheng, rendering him immobile. Despite being severely injured, even with extraordinary cultivation, Ying Zheng could not break free.
“Ah…”
Ye Yang let out a cry of despair as he reached for the handle of the Soul Devouring Demon Blade. He slowly pulled it out of his body; blood gushed forth, causing him immense pain. The skin on his chest split open, and dozens of dragon scales fell away. His injuries were severe; in fact, Ye Yang could hardly muster any strength.
The Moonlight Girl glanced at Ye Yang and asked, “Who are you?”
“Liang City Ye Yang.”
“You are the one who killed Peng Feng, aren’t you?”
"Exactly."
"Hmph..."
The girl Mingyue snorted, but raised her arm, causing the surrounding earth's spiritual energy to flow and gradually condense into a ball of green life essence. Holding the life essence in her hands, Mingyue threw it into the air, and a large green halo enveloped Ye Yang's chest. Instantly, a refreshing energy seeped into Ye Yang's chest, quickly stopping the bleeding from his wound and beginning to heal it. The healing effect was surprisingly not much worse than Zeng Xuan's soul healing technique.
...
Standing upright, Ye Yang casually tossed the Soul Devouring Demon Blade into the Cosmic Bag. Qin Fang had said it was a good item, and according to the previous agreement with Xiang Yu and others, since Ye Yang participated in the battle, the Soul Devouring Demon Blade belonged to him. Now that he had taken the blade, it was not unreasonable.
Glancing at Ying Zheng, who was struggling, Ye Yang couldn't help but sneer. After enduring several fierce battles, this ancient emperor had finally reached a dead end, severely injured. At this moment, he was bound by the girl's Vine from Azure Scale Mountain. Even with Ye Yang's eyesight, he could tell that these were no ordinary Vines; they concealed mysterious power within them. Moreover, the Vines scattered around seemed to form a formation that not only trapped Ying Zheng's body but also restrained his strength. As a Starry Sky Tier Four Expert, he couldn't even break free from the flexible Vines.
Just then, several powerful auras approached. In the air were Yun Xiaoxi, Xiang Yu, Zhongli Mei, Ying Bu, and others who had arrived. Zhang Liang, Fan Kuai, Xiang Liang, and others also appeared at the edge of the jungle. From a distance, they saw the traces of battle between Ye Yang and Qin Shi Huang and couldn't help but feel alarmed. They knew this would be a brutal fight but did not expect it to be so intense. Even with the combined efforts of many experts, they still couldn't subdue Ying Zheng, this royal lion.
"Zi Yu..."
Yun Xiaoxi swiftly descended to the ground and reached out to support the swaying Ye Yang while glancing at Ying Zheng trapped in the Vine Dragon formation. Her gaze shifted to the girl Mingyue as she asked in surprise, "Who are you?"
"Azure Scale Mountain, Mingyue. And you?"
"Serene Gate, Yun Xiaoxi."
"Ah? You are Yun Xiaoxi?" Mingyue opened her mouth in astonishment and said, "It's said that Serene Gate does not concern itself with worldly affairs; I didn't expect that even the matters of the six guardian relics would shake Serene Gate."
"Ying Zheng... captured by you?" Yun Xiaoxi asked.
"Yes."
The beautiful moonlit eyes spoke, "I want to bring this tyrant back to my sect to prevent him from continuing to cause chaos among the common people."
"Oh..."
At that moment, Xiang Yu in the sky spoke up, "Miss, Old Dog Qin's time has run out. He must die here today; otherwise, it will be difficult to calm the hearts of the people!"
The moonlight revealed a hint of displeasure, "Who are you? On what grounds do you want to kill Qin Shi Huang?"
"On the grounds of this spear in my hand!"
Xiang Yu's eyes glinted with anger as he declared, "Today, no one can save this old dog. Hmph! Killing hundreds of thousands of lives in my Chu state, even if this old dog dies ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to repay that debt!"
In the distance, Xiang Liang shouted, "Yuer, take Ying Zheng's head. We must have the head of this dog emperor as proof to reassure Your Majesty King Huai!"
"Yes, uncle!"
...
The young girl Mingyue raised her staff, her beautiful eyes filled with anger. "Hmph! You arrogant Han warrior, I want to see how strong you really are to be so presumptuous!"
As tensions rose, Ye Yang suddenly stepped forward and blocked Mingyue's path. "Miss Mingyue, Ying Zheng has committed too many blood debts. Let General Xiang kill him; heaven's retribution is upon him today."
Mingyue retorted angrily, "On what basis?"
Ye Yang hesitated but at that moment Yun Xiaoxi said, "Azure Scale Mountain has always taken it upon itself to protect the common people. Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng has committed severe atrocities; why not end this with battle? Killing Ying Zheng could save countless common people. Moreover, even if Miss Mingyue were to take Ying Zheng back to Azure Scale Mountain, what would happen then? Would Spirit Blossom Elder kill Ying Zheng? Rather than that, it would be better for the mundane world to resolve this in a worldly manner—kill!"
In the end, Mingyue nodded and lightly snorted without saying anything further.
Xiang Yu laughed heartily as he suddenly descended from the sky, drawing his Sword from his waist and striking down with a swift and fierce blow!
"Crack!"
The battered Ying Zheng was already on the brink of death, his power greatly diminished within the Vine Dragon Formation, and his Starlit Armor barely able to coalesce. How could he possibly withstand Xiang Yu's ferocious strike?
A head flew off, blood gushed forth, and Xiang Yu reached out to catch Ying Zheng's severed head in mid-air, laughing loudly: "Old dog, you finally died at my hands, Xiang Yu!"
As he spoke, Xiang Yu swung his sword and extracted Ying Zheng's Soul Crystal Core, casually placing it into a pouch at his waist. He declared proudly: "The head of the old dog Ying Zheng is here, summoning all heroes of the world; the day to destroy Qin has arrived!"
Ye Yang remained silent, quietly leaning against a large rock, a trace of True Qi emerging within him.
However, this journey with Shadewall had significantly enhanced Ye Yang's strength. Moreover, he had acquired a Soul Devouring Demon Blade in his Cosmic Bag, though he was unaware of the secrets it contained.
