Yanmen County, Mass Grave.
After the ritual ceremony for Fan Zeng, Ye Yang stood alone in front of the tombstone, leaning on the Azure Soul Sword, his gaze dim and contemplative.
"Your Highness, shall we return?" Wang Lie asked.
Ye Yang remained silent.
Wang Lie continued, "Your Highness, Miss Yun Xiaoxi and Princess Yan Yao have already arrived in Yanmen County and are waiting for you in the city. Will you not return?"
Ye Yang sighed deeply and said, "Wang Lie, I have a question for you."
"Yes, Your Highness, please speak!"
"I protect the common people of Yan Zhao to such an extent that I even raise an army to stand against the Western Chu Overlord Xiang Yu. Does this truly have any meaning? Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu's chief strategist, has met a tragic end in the wilderness. Does this endless struggle really hold any significance? My battle with Xiang Yu will inevitably lead to more bloodshed. Who will take responsibility for the lives of those innocent young soldiers?"
"This..."
Wang Lie was taken aback; he never expected Ye Yang to voice such thoughts. He murmured, "Your Highness, forgive my boldness in saying this: since ancient times, it has been the case that victors are kings and vanquished are thieves. A general's success often comes at the cost of countless lives. This world is inherently one family. If Your Highness wishes to achieve great things, you cannot show leniency or pity towards those fallen soldiers. That is the price of your ascent to the throne!"
Ye Yang supported himself with the Sharp Sword and said lightly, "I fight to save the common people of the world, yet it seems I have harmed them instead. Is this right or wrong?"
Wang Lie smiled slightly. "Your Highness, do not worry. We have followed you without regret; we would not hesitate to shed blood for you. The victors become kings while the defeated become thieves; everyone fights desperately for titles and ranks. Your Highness owes nothing to anyone. As for Fan Zeng—hmph—Xiang Yu may possess great martial prowess but could not utilize a strategist like Fan Zeng; that is his own fault. Fan Zeng had plenty of good strategies but failed to recognize a wise lord; he too is responsible for his own demise!"
Ye Yang nodded. "Perhaps you are right. Inform everyone to return to the city."
"Yes!"
At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and a bolt of Thunder Power surged through, tearing open a rift in space!
"Hiss..."
Amidst the whinnying of warhorses, Xiang Yu brandished the Azure Dragon Halberd and burst forth from the heavens, landing on high ground. His gaze swept over the Tomb of Fan Zeng, and instantly his fierce eyes filled with tears as he roared, "Ye Yang, this is your doing! You killed my foster father; I, Xiang Yu, will surely bloodily wash the entire Qi State to repay your sins!"
"Clang!"
Ye Yang suddenly drew his Sharp Sword and calmly said, "Then let us settle all hatred with a battle!"
Xiang Yu was filled with rage, the Azure Dragon Halberd trembling slightly in his hand as he growled, "Fan Yafu treated me like his own son, dedicating his life to strategizing for my family. How dare you kill him? Ye Yang, oh Ye Yang, I did not wish to kill you, but you force me, Xiang Yu, to commit this ungrateful act. If I do not kill you, I would be disrespecting my foster father's spirit and unable to stand between heaven and earth! Today, I will take your head first, then march into Qi Land to slaughter for three months and bloodily wash Linzi, vowing to uproot the Fire God Clan!"
Ye Yang was equally furious, his eyes filled with blood-red fury as he shouted, "All sins lie with me, Ye Yang! Xiang Yu, if you vent your anger on others, how can such a mindset qualify you to be the ruler of the world? Don't even mention bloodily washing Linzi; if you kill even one more person, I cannot agree. Come on then; let’s see who can kill whom today!"
Wang Lie raised his War Blade and suddenly shouted loudly, "Bring people to County City! Summon the Vermilion Bird Knights and pair them with Azure Dawn Arrows for support. Hmph! Today Xiang Yu cannot leave! Prince Qi, do not worry; fight with all your might!"
Ye Yang abruptly raised his hand and declared loudly, "No need to mobilize the Vermilion Bird Knights. Today I will fight Xiang Yu alone with my sword. If I die, all troops in Qi will pledge allegiance to Han Wang Liu Bang!"
Xiang Yu was furious: "Ye Yang, you brat! Do you think I, the Overlord Xiang Yu, am inferior to a mere Liu Bang? You would rather leave your troops for Liu Bang than use them for me?"
Ye Yang coldly replied, "You fight for personal honor while I fight for the common people of the world. You kill for power; I kill to save the world. Our paths are different; we cannot collaborate!"
...
Xiang Yu was extremely enraged as he held the Azure Dragon Halberd high. He suddenly leaped into the air and stood suspended above ground. Countless fierce winds swirled around him like a raging dragon, enveloped in Ocean's Secret energy. The Dragon's Power contained within the Azure Dragon Halberd was activated and began to dance wildly as a mighty strike was about to be unleashed: "Ye Yang, come! Let’s decide our victory with one blow!"
Ye Yang could clearly sense Xiang Yu's fury. At that moment, he suddenly felt like laughing and threw back his head in laughter. In his rage, Xiang Yu had already lost his composure; how could a peak-level powerhouse win in a decisive battle when their mind was unsettled?
“Hong Hong……”
Flames surged around him as Ye Yang slowly ascended, a manifestation of the Fire God forming behind him. Surrounding him were numerous Azure Dragons, a technique from the Hidden Dragon Technique known as the Divine Dragon Asks the Heavens Technique. This was the most powerful move among the Fire God's three techniques, the Divine Oracle Descends!
“Buzzing…”
The Azure Soul Sword began to tremble, unable to withstand this ultimate power. As the energy from Divine Dragon Asks Heaven surged into the sword, it glowed red hot.
“Come on!”
Xiang Yu brandished the Azure Dragon Halberd, descending through the air. The halberd transformed into a dragon-shaped attack energy, charging fiercely towards Ye Yang!
Ye Yang’s Dragon's Inquiry to Heaven Mind Method resonated with the force of Divine Oracle Descends. Flames surrounded the Azure Soul Sword, and with a mighty strike, he soared upward to meet the attack. The Hidden Dragon roared, and the heavens and earth changed color!
“Boom!”
In an instant, darkness enveloped everything as their energies collided, blocking out the sun's light. The ground wailed and trembled; the attacking energy tore through the earth, creating terrifying chasms at the edge of the Mass Grave. The shockwave from their clash swept across, knocking a group of Soldiers to the ground amidst cries of despair.
Even the direction of Yanmen County was affected by the shockwave. In the city, Yun Xiaoxi suddenly drew her Snowdrift Sword, exclaiming in shock, “It's Zi Yu's power! Oh my god, who is he fighting? Such a strong impact of spiritual energy!”
Yan Yao stared in disbelief, quickly grabbing his sword and stepping to the edge of the building before flying towards the battlefield alongside Yun Xiaoxi.
……
Energy continuously clashed against their bodies as Ye Yang and Xiang Yu were evenly matched. However, in a split second, Ye Yang suddenly shifted his position, and his Sharp Sword swept heavily across Xiang Yu's shoulder!
“Slash!”
Blood splattered as the Azure Soul Sword severed a collarbone of Xiang Yu, cutting downwards and nearly splitting open his chest. At the same time, Xiang Yu retaliated with a heavy punch to Ye Yang's chest!
"Wow!"
With an arm raised, Ye Yang blocked Xiang Yu's fierce strike with one arm, rapidly retreating. In an instant, countless Fate Fire energies surged into Xiang Yu's body through the wound.
...
"Clap, clap, clap..."
After landing, Ye Yang retreated several dozen steps before finally stabilizing his stance.
In the air, a horrifying wound on Xiang Yu's chest was gushing blood. No matter how much he tried to cover it with his hand, he could not stop the flow. In an instant, Xiang Yu's face turned pale: "How... how could this happen? Could it be... that those who fight for the weak are... are so powerful?"
Ye Yang looked up to the sky and calmly said, "Xiang Yu, go back to your Xianyang. If you dare to step onto Qi State's land again, I will definitely take your head! It doesn't matter if you are Xiang Yu or the Western Chu Overlord!"
Xiang Yu's sword-like brows furrowed in anger, but he had no choice but to retreat. After a wave of Energy Fluctuation, he instantly teleported away from Yanmen County.
