Linzi City, the Wangfu.
A body covered in white cloth lay in the courtyard, surrounded by numerous Soldiers standing guard.
Ye Yang hurried in, dressed in deep black Armor, his cape billowing as he entered the courtyard. Seeing several Dragon Armored Warriors, he couldn't contain his anger and shouted, "You were tasked with guarding a puppet, and yet you let him be poisoned? What is the meaning of this?"
One of the Dragon Armored Warriors immediately knelt down and said solemnly, "Young Master, it was our negligence. Tian Rong used his noble status to visit Qi King, but unbeknownst to us, he secretly poisoned the dishes. By the time we discovered it, Tian Fu had already been poisoned too deeply and died. Furthermore, Tian Rong has incited the fifty thousand stationed troops in Jiaodong County, killed Jiaodong King, and declared himself king."
Ye Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. From now on, there will be no more Tian Fu as Qi King!"
"Young Master, what do you mean?"
Wang Lie approached from behind and smiled, "From now on, Lord Ziyu is the true Qi King. This has been promised by Xiang Yu and Chancellor Huai. Therefore, Qi State now has a true ruler. From this day forward, Lord Ziyu will govern both Qi and Yan, becoming the true Northern King!"
The Dragon Armored Warriors immediately cheered, "Congratulations to Qi King and Young Master!"
Ye Yang grimaced, "Congratulations my foot! This is enough trouble already. Immediately gather our forces and send word to Jiaodong County. I want to seize Jiaodong County tonight and crush that rebellious brat Tian Rong!"
"Yes!"
Wang Lie nodded and asked, "Should we dispatch the Vermilion Bird Knights from Hengshan County and Yanmen County?"
"No need. The Vermilion Bird Knights are our elite forces; let them defend the borders. Zhao State, Wei Kingdom, and Han State have repeatedly shown intentions of invasion that cannot be ignored. Moreover, although Xiang Yu is about to declare himself the Western Chu Overlord, many have yet to submit to him. He could march east at any moment to wage war against us in Qi!"
"Qi King is wise!"
...
In the afternoon, the fifty thousand troops stationed outside Linzi City began to pack up and march out. By nightfall, they arrived outside the County City of Jiaodong County. Following Ye Yang's orders, they prepared for a night assault.
Torches were raised high as Wang Lie, holding a long knife, rode forward and shouted, "Tian Rong the Dog Thief, come out and face your death! The Qi King has arrived; do you dare continue your rampage?"
Above the city, a fat man dressed in luxurious clothing patted his belly and said, "Bah! The Qi State belongs to the Tian Clan. The Qi King has always been a member of the Tian family. Tian Fu has already been poisoned and murdered by Ye Yang. Ye Yang has committed regicide and usurped the throne, which is an act of treason. I, Tian Rong, am a descendant of the royal family of Qi State. I will raise an army to eliminate that usurper. All soldiers, hold the city firmly! I have already sent messages via carrier pigeon to Zhao State, Yan State, Wei Kingdom, Han State, and other vassal states. Once reinforcements arrive, we will work together from within and without to restore the great Qi and execute the traitor. It will happen soon!"
Wang Lie raised the Qi King seal in his hand and said, "King Chu Huai personally conferred the title of Qi King. How could there be any mistake? Soldiers on the city wall, listen! Ye Yang is now the master of Qi State and recognized as the Qi King by all. If you continue to follow this scoundrel Tian Rong, you will meet a bad end. To all the generals on the wall, whoever can kill Tian Rong can bring his head here to the Qi King for rewards. Hmm, Qi King, what rewards shall we offer?"
Ye Yang cleared his throat and said, "A thousand acres of fertile land, titles for ten thousand households, ten thousand taels of silver, and a thousand beautiful women..."
"I..."
Wang Lie turned around and asked, "My lord, can you really offer that much?"
Ye Yang shrugged off the concern: "Who cares? Let's first incite one of the military generals to switch sides. If you go up there and chop him down later, it won't be a problem at all. It's dark and windy; what's so difficult about killing a thousand households?"
Wang Lie was overjoyed: "My lord is brilliant!"
Unexpectedly, Tian Rong shouted from the city above: "Generals, do not be tempted by rewards! You are all loyal ministers of Qi State with unwavering loyalty. Now that that scoundrel Ye Yang is at our gates, who will come up with me to slay him? I will immediately appoint him as General and grant him a thousand acres of fertile land!"
Wang Lie was shocked: "My lord, his offer is even higher than yours; it's outrageous!"
Ye Yang pouted: "Looks like we have to go hard on this!"
At that moment, the city gate slowly opened. A general under Tian Rong rushed out holding a Wolf Fang Club and shouted, "I am Tian Yu, the vanguard general under Qi King Tian Rong! Who dares to fight me?"
Wang Lie laughed heartily as he rode forward with his War Blade drawn and said, "Since you seek death, I shall send you on your way!"
Tian Yu pointed at him: "Who are you? I do not kill nameless ghosts under my club."
"I am Wang Lie!"
Before the words had left his mouth, Wang Lie had already rushed out, shouting into the wind, "When you report to Yama King, don't forget your grandfather's name!"
As he spoke, he swung his blade, and Tian Yu was cleaved along with his horse into four pieces. Even the Wolf Fang Club was snapped in half with a crack, demonstrating a complete disparity in strength. Tian Yu was at most Earth Level Six, while Wang Lie had already reached the peak of Starry Sky First Level. With a full-force strike, there was no way for him to survive.
On the city walls, Tian Rong gasped in shock, "That bastard is so powerful! Who will go out and fight him? Kill that scoundrel named Wang Lie!"
Another person stepped forward boldly, "I am Huang Yan, willing to fight for Sire!"
"Go! With General Huang Yan leading the charge, we will surely slay the enemy general!"
Huang Yan charged down from the city, riding a Black Steed. Wang Lie grinned widely, "What a fine horse! It would be a shame to kill it; I won't even need my knife!"
As he spoke, Wang Lie swung his iron fist, Starlight Power swirling around him.
Huang Yan was furious and charged forward with his spear raised. "You scoundrel! I'll poke a thousand holes in you!"
Wang Lie laughed heartily as pressure descended upon Huang Yan, causing his speed to drop sharply. Wang Lie swung his heavy fist, imbued with thick earth and stone power, and struck out fiercely!
"Thud!"
With a muffled sound, his fist shot like a meteor through the air and pierced Huang Yan's chest, shattering his armor in an instant. The sound of broken ribs echoed as Huang Yan's body fell to the ground like cotton. Wang Lie caught the black warhorse in one hand and said lovingly, "A fine steed indeed!"
On the city walls, Tian Rong and his troops stared blankly. Faced with this demon named Wang Lie, who would dare to challenge him?
Tian Rong's face twitched as he shouted loudly, "Quickly! Close the city gates! Archers and catapults prepare! We must defend the city!"
"Creek..."
The city gate slowly closed.
Ye Yang could not hold back any longer, gracefully dismounting. Behind him, the Azure Soul Sword unsheathed with a clang, propelled by his will. The sword's momentum surged like fire, suddenly transforming into a long dragon that flew toward the gate!
"Boom!"
The heavy iron gate was shattered, flames engulfing dozens of Soldiers, their screams merging into a chorus of despair.
...
Ye Yang soared in mid-air, his feet forming the Bagua formation beneath him, resembling a celestial being. He shouted angrily, "I say it again: those who remain obstinate will meet the same fate as Tian Rong—no mercy!"
"Thud thud thud..."
On the city wall, over a dozen commanders knelt before Ye Yang, pleading, "Prince Qi, we... we were misled by Tian Rong. Please show us mercy!"
