~5 min read 969 words

Wang Ben had his men be even more careful.

At the same time, he accelerated the progress of the search.

It would only be more dangerous here at night; he absolutely could not let it drag on until nightfall.

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

Those few scouts were all agile, moving through the treetops.

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

The scouts soon passed back the situation from the front.

Upon learning that the remnants of Great Chu were hiding in the forest ahead, Wang Ben gave the order without hesitation, having everyone surround that location.

With his early planning, those traps did not play any role at all.

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

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

"Let's strike."

Seeing Xiang Yu took 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, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on his face.

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

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

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

Seeing Xiang Yu used his sword to block this attack.

The powerful force made Wang Ben's web between his thumb and index finger feel somewhat numb.

"I actually underestimated you a bit."

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.

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

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

A thick, large tree was directly snapped in two.

The trunk fell, pinning down several soldiers who had been too slow to dodge.

And Seeing Xiang Yu's attack came again.

Facing such wide-open and forceful attacks.

Wang Ben knew that his strength was no match for the person before him.

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

The path in the mountain forest was overgrown with vegetation and strange, jagged rocks.

While dodging, Wang Ben also had to spare a sliver of his focus to pay attention to the road conditions behind him.

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

Seeing 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 solemn, and the movements of his hands did not pause for a moment.

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

It was still somewhat difficult for the average person to compete with him.

Furthermore, he had long since figured out the terrain here.

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

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

It was only because he was unfamiliar with the terrain here for the 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, Seeing 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 off,

He subconsciously wanted to dodge forward, but ran head-on into the long sword Seeing Xiang Yu was swinging over.

Seeing Xiang Yu's long sword carried an extreme sense of power; once it struck a body, the lighter outcome would likely be broken bones.

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 three people's height.

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 reduced his falling speed somewhat.

The spikes below still pierced through his lower legs.

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

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

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 careless, would there not have been such an outcome?

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

He only regretted that he had underestimated these remnants of Great Chu.

A trace of relief flashed across Seeing Xiang Yu's face; this could be considered resolving this major thorn in his side.

The next moment, a look of vigilance immediately appeared on his face, and then his figure lunged violently to the side.

Raising his head once more, the place where he had originally been standing was now pierced by several daggers.

Seeing 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... ===== CHAPTER 372 =====
