Chapter 1082: So-called Choice

~7 min read 1,300 words

Xiang Yu was not afraid of death.

But he was afraid that if he died, no one would remember that his uncle, Mr. Fan, and others were killed by the Qin army, and no one would remember that the State of Chu was destroyed by the Qin Guo. To avenge his uncle and the others, to take revenge on the Qin Guo, and to destroy the Qin Guo, Xiang Yu had to live.

Lying on the raft, he didn't know where a powerful force surged from, and he subconsciously wanted to attack the man approaching. However, the next moment, Xiang Yu found his body lifted off the raft by the man who was standing on the raft, suspended above the sea. Although Xiang Yu was young, his strength was real.

Back when Yi Yi Xiaochuan wanted to leave his uncle and nephew Hearing Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, Hearing Xiang Liang had set three conditions for Yi Yi Xiaochuan, one of which was lifting a tripod. Yi Yi Xiaochuan had successfully lifted the large tripod using the principles of physics, while Xiang Yu did not; he lifted the large tripod with his own strength. In the final duel, to hold back his strength and prevent killing Yi Yi Xiaochuan, he even crushed his horse to death with his legs, which showed how powerful Xiang Yu's strength was.

However, at this moment, he felt as if he had lost all his strength, being lifted by the person in front of him. Even though his body possessed the strength of a thousand jun, it was restrained by a more powerful force, making it difficult for him to exert it.

This was only because the opponent Xiang Yu encountered was Su Xuan.

And only Su Xuan could manage to sail freely on the sea using a raft.

Although Su Xuan's body in this world was originally just an ordinary person who died of an epidemic, it was because he had obtained a portion of his Primordial Spirit that it appeared different. But since Su Xuan descended into this world until now, it had actually been a year or two. During this year or two, under the tempering of the medicinal herbs provided by Ying Zheng, his physique had become exceptionally different.

In the end, it was because Su Xuan was a powerhouse who had already achieved the Primordial Spirit and entered the Mysterious Penetration Realm. His strength was strong enough, so even starting from scratch, as long as he wanted to, his cultivation speed was still fast enough.

This world, although it possessed strange objects like the immortality elixir, in the end, the immortality elixir only existed because of the Heavenly Star. If there were no such Heavenly Star, this would just be a very ordinary Wu Xia world, and its power level wouldn't even reach the Qin world where Su Xuan was.

Su Xuan only needed to cultivate for a few years in the Qin world to be basically invincible.

That was when he started cultivating from scratch. In this world, with those experiences, a year or more was enough for Su Xuan to become invincible in the current world.

A mere Xiang Yu, a mere Overlord of Western Chu—let alone not having achieved his hegemony yet, even if he were in the state before his suicide at Wujiang, in his peak state, Su Xuan could still kill him with a flick of his finger.

With his hand gripping Xiang Yu's throat and the power of his Primordial Spirit sealing the strength in Xiang Yu's body, Su Xuan met Xiang Yu's gaze. Su Xuan's palm exerted force suddenly, and with a crack, the bones shattered. The future Overlord of a generation thus fell.

Afterward, Su Xuan carried Xiang Yu's corpse with one hand, his feet exerted a slight force, and the raft beneath him moved without wind, heading rapidly toward the coast.

Having resolved the uncle and nephew Hearing Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, next, he only needed to go to Xianyang and wait for Yi Yi Xiaochuan's return.

As for why Yi Yi Xiaochuan would return?

Naturally, it was because Yushu was still in the palace. As long as Yushu was still there, Yi Yi Xiaochuan couldn't escape.

Time flew by, and another month passed.

The execution of rebels like Xiang Yu and Hearing Xiang Liang of Chu didn't cause much of a stir. In the end, it was because Xiang Yu and Hearing Xiang Liang were not very famous. Although they were descendants of Hearing Xiang Yan, the famous one was Hearing Xiang Yan, not them. There were so many rebels in the world; who were they?

They truly became famous only after the world fell into chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, especially when Hearing Xiang Liang replaced Yin Tong and became the Governor of Kuaiji Commandery, raising a large rebel army. That was when they truly became famous.

And now, in terms of rebels, the most famous was still Zhang Liang, Zhang Zifang.

The Battle of Bolangsha, although it failed, still made Zhang Liang famous throughout the world.

Now, the Qin Guo was searching for his whereabouts everywhere, intending to kill him, the mastermind who planned the Bolangsha incident.

Returning to Xianyang Palace, Su Xuan lived a peaceful life for a while.

Until this day.

Cui Wenzi found him.

"Greetings, Mr. Su~~!"

"Does the Chief Imperial Physician have any business coming here?" Su Xuan glanced at Cui Wenzi and spoke faintly.

"There is indeed something I want to find Mr. Su for," Cui Wenzi responded.

"What is it?"

"I have a friend who wants to see Mr. Su. His name is Yi Yi Xiaochuan. He said that if I mention his name, Mr. Su will know who he is."

Cui Wenzi didn't understand how Yi Yi Xiaochuan knew Su Xuan, but after Yi Yi Xiaochuan contacted him and begged him to pass a message, he came to Su Xuan's place.

"` 」Is that so? I understand!"

Su Xuan's tone was calm, his face expressionless. "Bring him to me!"

"Yes!"

Cui Wenzi soon retreated.

Not long after, led by Cui Wenzi, Yi Yi Xiaochuan came to the palace again, but he didn't have the chance to go to where Yushu was; instead, he headed toward the palace where Su Xuan lived.

On the way, Yi Yi Xiaochuan had already thought of the wording he would use when meeting Su Xuan.

Since he went to Kuaiji Commandery, his teacher Hearing Xiang Liang and his brother Xiang Yu had followed his advice and left the Central Plains. As long as they hid overseas for a few years, no one would be able to find them.

So, it was not difficult to choose now.

Soon, Yi Yi Xiaochuan stepped into the palace. A figure was sitting quietly cross-legged on a cushion, and beside him were some alchemy furnaces, with the fragrance of medicine overflowing.

(Li Dehao)

"Chief Imperial Physician, you may retire first!"

Su Xuan said to Cui Wenzi.

Cui Wenzi nodded and left.

For a time, only Su Xuan and Yi Yi Xiaochuan were left here.

Su Xuan's gaze fell on Yi Yi Xiaochuan, and Yi Yi Xiaochuan immediately felt an incredibly powerful pressure. Then, his voice sounded in Yi Yi Xiaochuan's ear: "Since you have already come here, I presume you have already made your choice?"

"Yes!"

Yi Yi Xiaochuan responded frankly.

"Then, how did you choose? Do you choose to live? Or do you choose to die?"

Yi Yi Xiaochuan answered: "As a person, living is naturally better than dying. After leaving, I have thought it through. If sacrificing a few people can save hundreds of thousands of people in Tu'an, this is a very profitable deal."

"So, I choose the first option!" ===== CHAPTER 1084 =====
