Ye Yang felt a stir in his heart and already knew that Liu Bang's group of generals had arrived.
Fan Kuai was quick to speak, his voice arriving before he did, followed by Cao Can, Xiahou Ying, Zhou Bo, and others. However, it seemed that only Fan Kuai had stepped into the Stellar Realm, while Cao Can, Xiahou Ying, and Zhou Bo were merely at Earth Level Eight, their overall strength far inferior to Xiang Yu's group.
...
Ye Yang stepped forward, clasped his fists, and smiled: "Liu Tingchang..."
Liu Bang was taken aback for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter: "Young Hero, it's you! How did you end up here? After parting at Mangdang Mountain, I never expected we would meet again here!"
Immediately after, Liu Bang turned to Xiang Yu and said: "Brother, this is the young hero I mentioned to you before, the one who severely injured the White Emperor at the edge of Azure Cloud Mountain Range!"
Xiang Yu couldn't help but chuckle: "So he is Liang City’s Ye Yang, Liu Tingchang!"
"Ha, ha! So that's it; my apologies for not recognizing you!"
...
At that moment, among the dozens of people Liu Bang brought along, a young and handsome man approached. Dressed in white and holding a slender sword, he appeared refined and distinguished. He smiled at everyone and said: "I think we should keep our chatter brief. Tomorrow at noon, Ying Zheng's convoy will pass through Shadewall. We should first go to Shadewall to survey the terrain before deciding on our strategy. What do you all think?"
Xiang Liang nodded: "That sounds very agreeable. May I ask who this gentleman is?"
The young scholar smiled slightly and replied: "I am Cheng Furen, surnamed Zhang and named Liang, courtesy name Zifang. I am just a minor retainer under Pei Gong!"
Xiang Liang nodded without paying much attention.
Ye Yang's eyes widened; this young man was Zhang Liang, so handsome!
After everyone got acquainted with each other, they headed towards Shadewall.
...
The wind howled fiercely as several leaders stood atop a rather high hill at Shadewall. Zhang Liang pointed downwards and said solemnly: "This place is a necessary route for Qin Emperor Ying Zheng's eastern tour. The terrain is treacherous and easy to defend but hard to attack; it can only accommodate a dozen people walking side by side. Ying Zheng loves grandeur and will surely travel with four War Chariots. The War Chariots are protected by Refined Iron shields that are impervious to blades and spears. We must have someone use a blunt weapon to smash the War Chariot to force Ying Zheng out so we can ambush him. Our first task is to locate Ying Zheng's true body and ensure we strike true!"
Xiang Liang listened attentively and nodded: "What Zifang says is indeed correct. However, who among us can use a blunt weapon to smash four War Chariots? Those War Chariots are forged from fine steel; they are impervious to attacks. Even an attack from a Starry Sky Expert may not be effective."
Xiang Yu raised his long spear and laughed, "Uncle need not worry, I have the Tiger Head Dragon Spear. With a single throw, I can surely take the head of Old Dog Qin!"
Zhang Liang glanced at Xiang Yu and smiled, "General Xiang is unmatched by thousands, but why not..."
He looked into the distance and pointed to a large stone, saying, "Let General Xiang use this giant stone as a target. Let's see how powerful the Azure Dragon Halberd is when thrown!"
Everyone looked over; the stone was as large as a hilltop, and they couldn't help but gasp. It seemed so solid that even a Starry Sky Expert might not be able to shatter it.
At that moment, Xiang Yu let out a fierce roar, his battle robe billowing as he soared into the air and suddenly hurled the Azure Dragon Halberd. The spear shot through the air like lightning and plunged directly into the giant stone!
"Break!"
It penetrated about ten meters into the stone, with the Azure Dragon Halberd embedding itself deep within the forest, indeed creating a hole approximately twenty centimeters in radius—its power was astonishing!
"How about that?" Xiang Yu asked.
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and replied, "General Xiang's strength can lift a cauldron, which is certainly formidable. However, those four War Chariots are quite large; one strike may not necessarily hit Ying Zheng. While the destructive power is ample, the killing range is limited."
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and asked, "What should we do then?"
At this moment, Ye Yang smiled and said, "Why not let my brother give it a try?"
Xiang Yu immediately became interested and looked at Ye Yang, saying, "Your friend's skills might be able to shatter this massive stone? Xiang Yu awaits your demonstration!"
Ye Yang nodded and said, "Tianhe, it's up to you now. Use your Warhammer to strike; the power of Dragon Breaks the Earth should be enough to crack this big stone."
Zhang Tianhe stood tall and nodded confidently. He let out a low shout as Starlight Power swirled around him. His robust body slowly rose into the air, energy surging around his Warhammer. Suddenly, Zhang Tianhe lifted the Warhammer high above his head; it descended like a meteor with tremendous force!
"Boom!"
The giant stone shattered as Pangu's Earth Splitter collided violently with it. Although its penetrating power was not as great as Xiang Yu's, its overall destructive capability was more than sufficient—the strength of the Beast God Valley's heir should not be underestimated!
Xiang Liang was astonished. After a while, he finally clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, good! With Young Hero Zhang Tianhe's strength, it is enough to tear the War Chariot to pieces!"
Zhang Liang said, "That's excellent. I have already used the art of concealment to learn the location of Ying Zheng's War Chariot. It will pass through here in about two hours. Everyone should quickly find a hidden place to take cover. At that time, Young Hero Zhang Tianhe will launch the first attack, forcing Ying Zheng to reveal himself. Then we will all strike together to ensure that Tyrant Qin meets his end here!"
Xiang Yu laughed heartily, "Good, that is best!"
Liu Bang asked, "Brother, may I ask if Your Majesty King Huai will grant us any rewards if we manage to take the head of that old thief Ying Zheng?"
Xiang Yu stepped forward, patted Liu Bang on the shoulder, and smiled, "Liu Tingchang need not worry. If we kill Old Dog Qin, I will certainly report to Your Majesty King Huai and recommend you for the title of Marquis of Guannei, along with several prosperous cities as your reward. How does that sound?"
Liu Bang's face lit up with joy, "With this promise, I have no worries!"
Xiang Liang laughed heartily...
Everyone searched for their hiding places. Ye Yang, along with Zhang Tianhe and Yun Xiaoxi, hid among the bushes at the top of the mountain. Zhang Tianhe had to shatter the War Chariot; once he revealed himself, he would become a target for Ying Zheng's guards. Ye Yang had to ensure Zhang Tianhe's safety; after all, they were not bait.
Fan Kuai stood anxiously in a hollow with his Battle Axe in hand. Not far away, Xiao He was smiling slightly and speaking to Liu Bang.
...
In the depths of the dense forest.
Yun Xiaoxi looked at Ye Yang and said, "I won't make a move later..."
Ye Yang replied, "I know. You don't need to act; with Xiang Yu and the others here, there's nothing to fear..."
Zhang Tianhe held his Warhammer and said, "Then why hasn't Old Dog Qin arrived yet?"
"Tianhe, why do you hate Qin Shi Huang so much?"
"My family perished in the chaos of war; how can I not hate?"
"Oh, after we take down Ying Zheng, I'll stab him a couple more times for you!"
"Good brother!"
Yun Xiaoxi: "..."
...
After a long while, finally, from the depths of the distant mountains and forests, a grand convoy approached. Nearly a thousand elite Cavalry Soldiers cleared the way, with a massive Imperial Chariot in the center. Surrounding the War Chariot were dozens of Soldiers armed with Blades guarding it. The chariot could accommodate dozens of people and was pulled by several warhorses. The exterior of the War Chariot was adorned with shield armor, while light silk fluttered inside, faintly revealing the delicate arms and Snow Legs of palace maidens.
Indeed, this Qin Emperor Ying Zheng was known for his debauchery throughout history; this reputation was not unfounded.
Ye Yang was so envious that he nearly drooled.
Yun Xiaoxi looked at Ye Yang's expression and wished she could punch him right then and there.
Zhang Tianhe, holding a Warhammer, quietly left the forest with a grim expression, ready to take action!
