Chapter 117

Yet at this moment, a series of panicked footsteps came from outside!

Immediately after, a large crowd outside shouted to see him!

"What is it!"

Seeing Xiang Yu flew into a rage and directly pulled back the curtain to look!

And upon seeing this, he was shocked.

Four or five people were carrying a stretcher!

And the soldier on the stretcher was in a pitiful state.

First, his arm had turned into minced meat!

Then, his thigh had also turned into minced meat!

"This... this... what happened?"

Seeing Xiang Yu was utterly shocked.

At this moment, Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, and the others also rushed over.

Seeing this scene, they were also incredibly shocked!

The soldier, hanging on by a thread, weakly said, "That person... that person... he is incredibly formidable!"

"We fifty men, under his pair of hammers, were like little chicks; he smashed one with each hammer, turning them all into minced meat!"

"I... I was merely unlucky enough to be grazed by his hammer, and my arm is gone!"

"Finally, in the collateral damage, his hammer struck my leg again, and my leg is gone too!"

"But to let me bring news, he did not kill me; moreover, he placed me on a horse's back and let me return!"

"General... this person... this person is incredibly formidable!"

The soldier trembled as he weakly recounted the tale.

And upon hearing these words, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo were all stunned!

In his fury, Seeing Xiang Yu picked up the Eight-Treasure Golden Dragon Spear again and was about to go.

But... he was blocked by Xiang Liang once more:

"Yu-er, do not be impulsive; if fifty men could not take him down, this person is indeed formidable!"

"If it comes to single combat, even if he is not your equal, the difference may not be great!"

"But as the commander-in-chief of an army, you must not act rashly; send five hundred men to capture him!"

"Five hundred men; even the legendary Sword Saint Gai Nie, I fear, could not hold off five hundred men single-handedly!"

Xiang Liang was persuading him.

Xiang Bo was also persuading: "Yes, Yu-er, your uncle is right; you are the commander-in-chief of an army; if something goes wrong..."

The two persuaded him together, and finally, they got Seeing Xiang Yu to calm down!

But this time, he personally selected the soldiers!

He chose five hundred of the most outstanding soldiers and gave a death order: they must capture this person alive and bring him back!

At this very moment, he felt only rage!

He vowed that once he caught this person, he would flay him with a thousand cuts!

After speaking, he directly went back to sleep in a huff!

But Xiang Liang did not sleep; he vaguely had a bad feeling!

If he did not wait for news, he could not fall asleep!

In the blink of an eye, the night passed!

And just as dawn was breaking, finally, the sound of hooves came from the distance!

It was a soldier covered in blood returning.

And seeing that only he had returned, Xiang Liang's heart was instantly startled!

At that moment, the unease from last night instantly became intense!

He quickly ran out of the tent to look!

And upon seeing this, Xiang Liang was scared silly.

There was indeed someone on the horse's back!

But... that was a dead body!

He had been forcibly tied to the horse's back and brought back.

What is this?

Delivering a message?

No!

Provocation!

But it also conveyed a message, namely... that all five hundred men might be dead!

"Five hundred men... all dead?"

Xiang Bo, who had rushed over, saw the scene before him and was instantly stunned.

His face was filled with shock, his face filled with disbelief!

Remember, that was five hundred men!

Moreover, they were five hundred men personally selected by Seeing Xiang Yu; just like that, they were gone?

At this very moment, whether Xiang Bo or Xiang Liang, they all felt their scalps go numb!

And just at this moment, Seeing Xiang Yu came out; seeing the corpse on the horse's back and looking at the expressions of Xiang Bo and Xiang Liang, instantly, he understood what had happened!

At this moment, he flew into a rage, said nothing, and picked up the Eight-Treasure Golden Dragon Spear again!

Yet this time, whether it was Xiang Bo or Xiang Liang, no matter how they tried to stop him, they could not!

At the critical moment, it was Xiang Liang who slapped Xiang Yu across the face, stopping his impulse!

"Uncle, why do you stop me!"

Xiang Yu erupted in fury!

Xiang Liang, disappointed that his nephew was not living up to expectations, said:

"Yu'er, use your brain!"

"Does a divine person exist in this world who can kill five hundred men with his own hands?"

"Moreover, what if this is a complete trap and ambush set by the Qin Army?"

"One man fighting five hundred men, with all five hundred killed—how credible is such a thing?"

"Even if you cannot win, can you not run?"

"If you rush over in a fit of impulse, what if you fall into a trap?"

"Then..."

Xiang Yu gripped his spear shaft, his anger reaching the heavens: "According to Uncle's words, what should be done then?"

Xiang Bo said:

"Send one thousand men; I do not believe we cannot take him down!"

Xiang Liang shouted angrily: "Hu Nao!"

"First fifty lost, then five hundred lost, and now another thousand to be sacrificed?"

"This is undoubtedly a complete trap; we need not pay it any mind!"

Xiang Bo frowned: "Is it possible... that this is not a trap, but that someone truly exists who can fight five hundred alone, or even... one thousand, or even ten thousand without trouble?"

He spoke these words!

And the moment these words left his mouth, instantly, Xiang Liang's hair stood on end!

Almost in that very instant, he thought of one person!

Li Yuanba!

Rumor has it he once killed fifty thousand guards of Outside Xianyanggong with his own hands!

Facing Ying Su was able to achieve rebellion succeeded precisely because of this person!

But... after thinking for a moment, he quickly shook his head: "Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Facing Ying Su has only ascended the throne for three months; his foundation is unstable, relying entirely on Li Yuanba alone to intimidate the court!"

"At this time, if he sends Li Yuanba out, what then will he do in Xianyang City?"

"Moreover... how could you believe in something like one man fighting fifty thousand?"
