Chapter 36
[...It’s been eight years since I raised an army.]
Thirty minutes later, Farewell to the Conqueror: Part Two resumed without issue.
Xiang Yu, who had been chased relentlessly by Liu Bang, now stood in Dongcheng, addressing his soldiers.
After being surrounded on all sides by Liu Bang's forces, only 800 of Xiang Yu's soldiers remained, reduced further to just 28 by the relentless pursuit of the Han army.
["I’ve fought 70 battles, and every enemy that stood in my way has fallen. Every city I attacked crumbled, and I have never once lost a fight, conquering the world."]
Even in such dire straits, Xiang Yu remained true to his unyielding will, like the force that uproots mountains and overturns the heavens.
["Haha! Liu Bang! You claim the heavens have punished me for my tyranny?"]
Xiang Yu laughed boldly as he gazed at the Han army, which swarmed like clouds before him. Freed from his inner demons by Yu Ji’s sacrifice, his eyes were now clear, devoid of concern.
Instead, there was a certain emptiness in his gaze, as though he had finally understood something.
["Yes, you’re right! Today, my fate has been sealed by the heavens—not because I lacked the ability to fight!"]
Turning to the 28 soldiers who had stayed by his side until the bitter end, the once-great hero who had ruled the world with his sword made a solemn vow.
["I swear this to you! I will return you all to your homeland in Jiangdong. I will show you the ultimate mastery of the martial arts I’ve honed throughout my life!"]
"The ultimate mastery of martial arts?"
"But there are only 28 soldiers left! How is he going to break through?"
"Yeah, techniques like Three Flames and Lightfoot won't be enough this time."
The audience, gripped with anticipation, exchanged worried glances.
Though Xiang Yu had been driven to the brink, he was still the protagonist of this web-novel-like epic, one whom the audience had followed and rooted for since the beginning.
Whatever happened, everyone wanted to see him overcome this dire situation and rise again as he once had.
Shing! Shing!
Xiang Yu drew two more swords before the astonished eyes of the audience.
According to Chinese legend, Xiang Yu possessed three legendary swords in his lifetime: the Dragon Spring sword, the Tai’e sword, and the Gongbu sword.
In the next moment, the audience erupted in excitement.
"What the—?!"
"Huh?! What’s happening?!"
"The—the swords?!"@@novelbin@@
Cornered but still growing stronger with each passing day, Xiang Yu had finally achieved the unity of sword and self—Body and Sword as One.
What do you think?
