Chapter 282: War God! Overlord!

Since then, Xiang Yu has completely crushed the morale of all the Sparrow King's armies in the East River region with his martial prowess.

They no longer have any will to resist, and can only silently await judgment of fate.

And Xiang Yu was not in a hurry to attack the city; he seemed to be enjoying the thrill of intimidating the enemy.

He rode his Black Steed back and forth beneath the city walls; each time the hoofbeats sounded, the Sparrow King's troops on the walls trembled with fear.

The Gonggong War God followed closely behind; his towering, mountain-like body glittered with a cold light in the sunlight.

He did not speak, but each time his gaze swept over the city walls, the Sparrow King's soldiers felt a pang of palpitations.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in an oppressive, tense atmosphere.

Xiang Yu and his Chu army were like a tiger descending the mountain, ready at any moment to pounce upon the already fearful Sparrow King's troops.

Finally, after a long silence, Xiang Yu once again raised his Heaven-breaking Halberd and shouted loudly, 'Break the city!'

Ding! Xiang Yu's War God and Overlord skills activated!

War God, the historical War God, breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats, Yu's divine courage, unparalleled through the ages—this skill evolved from the War Fiend, and is Xiang Yu's exclusive divine god technique.

A tremendous roar echoed inside and outside the city, shaking the defenders' minds into a daze.

Effect 4: Chief of Warriors, Slayer of Hundreds—each time the user slays a hundred enemies, their martial power increases by 1 point (this effect can trigger at most three times).

They looked on in horror as the heavy city gate, under Xiang Yu's single strike, actually showed a crack!

Xiang Yu did not stop; he wielded the Heaven-breaking Halberd again and again like a War God descending into the world, each swing carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Effect 2: 'The steed does not fade, what can be done? Yu, Yu, what shall we do?'—when the user fights alone alongside Yu Ji, their martial power increases by 1 point and their stamina consumption is greatly reduced (this effect disappears upon Yu Ji's death).

Effect 2: Yu's divine courage, unparalleled through the ages—when facing a divine general, if the enemy's skill contains a restraining effect against the user, this effect can be sealed; if the enemy's skill lacks such a restraining effect, the user can seal the enemy's horse bonus instead.

He gripped the Heaven-breaking Halberd tightly, gathered all his strength into a single point, and fiercely swung it at the gate.

Effect 3: The Ultimate Martial Realm, Commanding the Ages—when the user's battle spirit erupts, their martial power increases by 5 points; when their battle spirit reaches its utmost, their martial power increases by another 5 points.

Currently, Xiang Yu's base martial power is 110, his weapon Overlord Heaven-breaking Halberd adds +1, his warhorse Black Steed adds +1, the active War God Effect One adds +10 martial power, Effect Three has triggered once for +5 martial power, Overlord Effect Three has triggered for +6 martial power, bringing Xiang Yu's current martial power to 133!

The gate, under his assault, grew more and more cracks, widening further.

(Note: When the opponent is not a divine general, this effect can suppress the opponent's martial power by 3 points, and upon activation it cannot be resisted or reflected).

Effect 3: Innate Battle Spirit, Unceasing Until Death—when the user is in combat, their martial power increases by 6 points, and when leading troops in battle, their Commander-in-Chief rating increases by 1 point.

In an instant, the halberd's light flashed like a meteor tearing across the sky, bearing unstoppable force as it smashed heavily onto the gate.

Effect 1: Eternal Overlord, Soul of Western Chu—when the user slays two enemy generals of equal rank or five enemy generals whose base martial power reaches 109, this skill will advance to Eternal Overlord (this effect can be triggered only once in a lifetime).

Boom—!

Boom!

Effect 5: Reaching the Peak, Ultimate Martial—when the user suffers negative effects, they can ignore all negative effects to Commander-in-Chief and martial power.

Xiang Yu spurred his Black Steed forward like a bolt of black lightning, charging straight for the gate.

Overlord, shaking the heavens as the Overlord emerges, his double pupils astonish the ages—this skill is the exclusive technique of the Western Chu Overlord, Xiang Yu.

Effect 1: Born a hero among men, dead a hero among ghosts—when the user's battle spirit has not faded, increase martial power by 10 points, and the user's weapon and warhorse cannot be sealed by any warrior or divine general.

Effect 4: Overlord's Wrath, Blood Spattering Three Feet—when the user's anger reaches its peak, they can ignore conditions and activate any conditional skill effect (after this effect triggers, it cannot be used again for ten years, and War God Effect Four cannot be activated).

Finally, under a heavy blow, the gate collapsed with a thunderous crash, raising a cloud of dust.

The defenders watched in horror, unable to believe their own eyes.

This gate, fitted with a Thousand-jin Bar and cast entirely of black iron, was in their minds an impregnable stronghold.

It was actually smashed open by Xiang Yu alone with a single halberd!

What monster is this—could a mortal body truly accomplish such a feat?

Hahaha, not worth a single blow!

At this moment, Xiang Yu's figure flickered in and out of the dust.

He stood like a War God at the gate.

Xiang Yu rode his horse slowly into the city, his gaze cold and stern, as if able to pierce through everything.

Behind him, the Chu army, led by Gonggong, surged toward the gate like a tide.

They knew that, under Xiang Yu's leadership, this battle had no more suspense.

And the Sparrow King's troops on the walls also understood that they could no longer resist this powerful offensive.

Under the intimidation of Xiang Yu's martial power, they had completely lost their will to resist.

At this moment, as Xiang Yu broke into the city on his lone steed, Fan Zeng hurriedly followed behind.

In this wise man's eyes flashed reproach for Xiang Yu's rash actions.

Xiang Yu's martial power and overbearing aura are tools for conquering the world, yet they may also be the fuse of his downfall.

Therefore, he must constantly watch Xiang Yu.

He must use his own strategies to stabilize the East River region and scheme for the world.

"Great King, the gate has now been breached."

"We must act swiftly to pacify the East River region under the Sparrow King's control."

Fan Zeng whispered in Xiang Yu's ear:

"Issue the orders: all troops must swiftly seize key positions, and must pacify the East River region in the shortest possible time!"

Xiang Yu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.

Usually not one to lose his temper, Xiang Yu still respects Fan Zeng, this elder who labors for him at this moment.

Otherwise, he would not have acknowledged him as his Second Father in the future.

"Great King, the East River region has abundant waterways, and many cities rely on them, making them easy to defend but hard to attack."

"But we have Gonggong, a water-war War God, in our hands—we will surely be able to seize most of the East River region from the Sparrow King in one fell swoop!"

Fan Zeng said confidently.

Xiang Yu heard the words, a flash of sharp light flickered in his eyes.

He knew well that Fan Zeng's strategy and Gong Gong's bravery were his two great treasures for conquering the world.

Now the situation in Jiangdong is settled, and his ambition swells ever more.

He not only wants to seize the whole Jiangdong region, but also to make the entire Great Yong submit beneath his feet!

"Issue the order: let Gong Gong lead the navy to advance first; we will follow shortly."

"This time, I will make Jiangdong utterly a sure thing for our Chu army."

Xiang Yu spoke with heroic spirit that reached the clouds.
