Chapter 167

These Chu people all hoped that Xiang Yu could lead them to restore the great cause of the Chu state.

"Great Chu shall rise!"

Xiang Liang shouted directly.

The somewhat aged voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Great Chu shall rise."

Subsequently, countless people began to say this phrase.

But they also knew what kind of environment they were in now.

Everyone repeated this phrase calmly, and then the flames in their eyes became even more determined.

"Proceed according to the plan."

Xiang Yu interrupted everyone's repetition and spoke.

This time, the atmosphere of the entire Great Chu army changed immediately.

Although those who executed the plan before still did so, there must have been dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Now that things had been laid out clearly, those people naturally would no longer have feelings of dissatisfaction.

This caused the entire matter to proceed very smoothly.

...

Wang Ben told his men to be even more careful.

At the same time, he accelerated the search process.

It would only be more dangerous here at night; he absolutely could not drag this out until nightfall.

He even directly dispatched several scouts with excellent light-body skills to go ahead and scout the situation.

Those scouts were all agile, moving through the treetops.

They were able to scout the surrounding situation at the fastest speed.

The scouts soon relayed the situation ahead back.

Upon learning that the Great Chu remnants were hiding in the forest ahead, Wang Ben ordered everyone to surround that location without hesitation.

Because he had made preparations early, those traps did not play any role at all.

And Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang also saw the Great Qin soldiers appearing around them.

They knew that the previous hiding would ultimately not affect the head-on confrontation that would follow.

"Let's strike."

Xiang Yu held his long sword and appeared at the front of the crowd.

This was his responsibility, a responsibility he could never escape.

Wang Ben saw the leader of the Great Chu remnants, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.

"I will personally deliver your head to His Majesty."

Following Wang Ben's order, the army charged directly toward the Great Chu remnants.

And he himself lunged toward Xiang Yu, the tip of the long sword in his hand pointing directly at Xiang Yu's forehead.

Xiang Yu blocked this attack with one hand.

The powerful force made the web between Wang Ben's thumb and forefinger feel somewhat numb.

"I have underestimated you somewhat."

Wang Ben did not expect that this person's strength would be so powerful.

Just a single touch made the long sword in his hand vibrate incessantly.

Xiang Yu did not answer him at all, but gripped the long sword in his hand tightly and slashed down with one stroke.

Wang Ben dodged to the side, and the sword light struck the tree behind him.

A thick, large tree was directly snapped in two.

The trunk fell, pinning several soldiers who could not dodge in time.

And Xiang Yu's attack came again.

Facing such an open and heavy attack.

Wang Ben knew that his strength was no match for the person in front of him.

Therefore, he did not choose to take these attacks head-on, but kept dodging backward.

The paths in the mountain forest were overgrown with grass and craggy, strange rocks.

While dodging, Wang Ben also had to divert a sliver of his attention to watch the road conditions behind him.

This led to him not noticing Xiang Yu's change in time.

Xiang Yu watched Wang Ben, step by step, retreating toward the trap he had set.

A glimmer of light appeared in the depths of his eyes.

But his face remained serious, and the movements of his hands did not stop for a moment.

Having practiced swordsmanship diligently for over ten years, coupled with his innate divine strength.

It was still somewhat difficult for ordinary people to compete with him.

Plus, he had already figured out the terrain here long ago.

With favorable timing, geographical advantages, and human support, he had already occupied two of the three.

But Xiang Yu clearly knew that Wang Ben was at least a veteran general who had been through many battles.

It was only because he was unfamiliar with the terrain here for a moment that he had allowed himself to gain the upper hand.

Once he slowly became familiar with it, he would soon be taken down by him.

Therefore, Xiang Yu absolutely could not let this person reverse the situation.

Wang Ben did not know the situation behind him at all, his footsteps retreating again and again.

When he felt that the sensation under his feet was somewhat wrong,

He subconsciously wanted to dodge forward, but ran head-on into the long sword swung by Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu's long sword carried an extreme sense of power; once it struck the body, it would likely result in broken bones at the very least.

Subconsciously, his body's instinct reacted, and he immediately retreated backward.

Subsequently, he stepped into thin air and fell directly into the trap below.

The trap was extremely deep, a full distance of three people.

And the bottom was filled with sharp spikes.

The moment Wang Ben fell, he thrust the long sword in his hand into the wall beside him.

The long sword slowed his falling speed somewhat.

The sharp spikes below still pierced through his lower leg.

At the opening of the pit, Xiang Yu's face soon appeared.

The last image in Wang Ben's consciousness was the image of the long sword falling.

The tip of the long sword soon pierced through his chest.

The next moment, Wang Ben's consciousness slowly sank into darkness.

As he sank into darkness, a trace of regret flashed through his mind.

If he hadn't been so contemptuous of the enemy, would there not have been such a result?

At this moment, he did not regret his planning in the imperial court.

He only regretted underestimating these Great Chu remnants.

A trace of relief flashed across Xiang Yu's face; he had finally resolved this major threat.

The next moment, a look of vigilance immediately appeared on his face, and his figure suddenly darted to the side.

Raising his head again, several daggers were stuck in the place where he had originally stood.

Xiang Yu's brows immediately shot up, and a chill flashed through his body.

If it weren't for his keen perception, sensing a trace of killing intent...
