Above the Mountain Ridge, a General charged down with a Blade in hand, his armor shimmering like stars. The long sword emanated vast energy, coalescing into the shape of a lion's head, roaring downwards!
"Boom!"
More than ten guards in front of the escort team immediately fell into a pool of blood. The Raging Sword Roar unleashed by a Starry Sky Level Expert was incredibly powerful, far beyond what ordinary people could withstand. The General descended from the sky, brandishing his sword and shouting, "I am Ying Bu under Xiang Yu! You shall report my name to the Underworld and Yama!"
With a sweep of his long sword, Ying Bu led countless Overlord Cavalry down from the mountain. These Cavalry possessed immense strength, with the weakest being at least Earth Level Four. Such an elite force was not something the ordinary Chu Army could contend with, especially since the Overlord Cavalry's warhorses were Fourth-Stage Beasts, their iron hooves crushing armor effortlessly!
In just a moment, Ying Bu led five hundred Overlord Cavalry to sweep through the escort team, leaving no one alive. Looking at the abundant supplies and equipment, Ying Bu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and loudly declared, "Bring up the convoy! We are heading to Peng City to assist Ye Yang of Liang City in collecting these Supplies and Equipment!"
...
At that moment, a sudden gust of wind roared through the air. Following that, a flash of sword light swept across, and with a crack, a hilltop was cleanly severed. A Tornado Storm erupted, instantly tearing the mountaintop into fragments. The fierce wind wrapped around the debris, forming a tremendous Tornado Storm that completely sealed off the valley's exit!
"Stand guard!"
Ying Bu's expression changed dramatically as he looked around and angrily shouted while raising his sword, "Who dares to show themselves?"
Amidst the raging wind stood a young general wielding a Flame Longsword. He stood confidently in Dark Red Armor with his cape billowing in the wind and lightly smiled, "General Ying Bu, I have come personally to escort the supplies. I appreciate your effort in sending me off for this journey. I, Ye Yang, on behalf of Liang City’s elders, thank you for your deep affection!"
Ying Bu gritted his teeth and roared, "Ye Yang, you are being too arrogant!"
Ye Yang's expression hardened as he retorted angrily, "Ying Bu, listen well! Out of respect for my connection with Xiang Yu, I won't engage you in battle. That Song Yi has taken advantage of my absence and dared to attack Liang City. Your Majesty King Huai has been too lenient; can Xiang Yu also tolerate such unprincipled actions? Today, I have brought Song Yi here. You will take him back with you as an explanation to Xiang Yu. This supply of food, warhorses, and equipment is mine today!"
"On what grounds?!"
Ying Bu licked the edge of his blade and gathered flames in his left hand, clearly preparing for a fight. He did not regard Ye Yang as a threat because last time Ye Yang had clashed with Ying Zheng without gaining an advantage; Ying Bu considered it merely luck on Ye Yang's part. In terms of martial prowess, Ying Bu did not believe anyone could surpass Jiangdong Xiangyu!
A group of Overlord Cavalry Soldiers rushed forward on their warhorses as if eager to join the battle. However, at that moment behind Ye Yang on Mountain Ridge appeared several Dragon Armored Warriors who stared defiantly at their opponents. Each held a powerful crossbow; with just a command from Ye Yang, arrows would rain down like hailstones. It was hard to guarantee how many Overlord Cavalry would remain since their strength was far inferior to that of Dragon Warriors.
Seeing the unfavorable situation unfold before him, Ying Bu quickly ordered the Overlord Cavalry to retreat while he charged at Ye Yang with his sword raised and shouted fiercely, "Kid! Get back to Liang City! You are still far from competing with my Xiang Yu army!"
Blade Force flows, and Ying Bu delivers what seems to be a simple strike, yet it is filled with fiery energy. The true killing intent lies behind the blade's light, with flames densely woven like a chain, ready to engulf Ye Yang at the slightest hint of fear. This is likely Ying Bu's strongest attack.
Unbeknownst to him, Ye Yang has already seen through everything. A faint smile appears on his lips as he suddenly raises his left arm. Streams of golden energy soar into the air, and in the next moment, a pale golden Dragon Shadow materializes, suddenly trapping Ying Bu within it. The sound of Dragon Roar echoes continuously; this is the first move of the Hidden Dragon Technique, the Dragon Soul Chain!
"Ha?!"
Caught off guard, Ying Bu is immediately ensnared by the dragon's soul, his blade's momentum extinguished in an instant. He finds himself tightly bound by the dragon's essence, which constricts painfully around him. In a short time, he cannot break free; the dragon's essence is like a steel cable that tightens with every struggle, incredibly resilient, leaving Ying Bu unable to gather explosive power!
To make matters worse, Ye Yang approaches silently, not even drawing his True Fire Sword. With one hand open, he suddenly presses it against Ying Bu's chest and shouts angrily: "Go back and tell Chancellor Huai that I, Ye Yang, am willing to ally with the Chu Army to destroy Tyrant Qin, but if he wants me to submit to him, he can dream on!"
"Boom!"
The Starlit Flame swirls as Ye Yang suddenly exerts force. A vast wave of fiery energy bursts from his palm, and that fiery giant hand pierces through Ying Bu's chest and exits through his back, crashing heavily onto the ground and igniting the grass and trees around them!
"Pfft..."
Ying Bu spits out a mouthful of blood as he falls to the ground, staggering backward. He barely stabilizes himself by striking the ground with the back of his blade but is already gravely injured!
"General..."
A group of Overlord Knights stares in shock, unable to believe that the renowned Ying Bu from the Chu Army could be defeated by this young general in just one exchange without any means of resistance. His injuries are severe; he can no longer fight.
Ying Bu quickly regains his breath and glares at Ye Yang in mid-air, saying sternly: "You’re ruthless, kid. We will meet again one day. I, Ying Bu, will definitely repay today's humiliation!"
Ye Yang replies calmly with a smile: "You will be even more disappointed!"
"Hmph!"
Holding his long sword aloft, Ying Bu leaps onto his horse and loudly declares: "Overlord Cavalry, retreat! There's no need for further casualties here!"
"Wait, take your spoils!"
Ye Yang whispered, and two Dragon Armored Warriors stepped aside as a warhorse galloped out. Song Yi, however, was tightly bound and had a rag stuffed in his mouth, rendering him unable to speak. Upon seeing Ying Bu, he immediately struggled as if he had seen a savior, looking utterly disheveled.
Ying Bu felt a surge of humiliation. Grabbing the reins, he shouted and sped away!
...
Watching Ying Bu lead the Overlord Cavalry into the distance, Ye Yang smiled slightly and said to Zhao Yun behind him, "Hmph, I knew that Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng wouldn't easily give in. I was right!"
Zhao Yun chuckled lightly, "My lord's foresight is remarkable..."
Ye Yang shrugged, not saying much more. However, he was well aware that when it came to strategy, he was far behind Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang. Yet in terms of combined military strength and wisdom, he surpassed many. Still, Liang City had attracted the trouble of Xiang Yu; from now on, they could only take one step at a time.
"Come here, take the convoy back to Liang City!"
Regardless of the circumstances, the supplies and horses were still left behind. This was exactly what Ye Yang needed most. Liang City was actively expanding and recruiting troops; if he could develop an army of fifty to one hundred thousand, he would fear no one in the territory of the Qin Empire!
