In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

In the instant he turned his head, his eyes met another pair of eyes.

It was a horse, grazing with its head down at the corner of Xiang Bo's yard, when it happened to raise its head and its eyes met Xiang Liang's.

Xiang Liang was stunned, and so was Ma.

"Uncle? Why are you standing at the door without moving?" Xiang Yu asked, peeking out from beside Xiang Liang.

With the appearance of the second person, the horse became enraged.

hoohoo hoohoo————

The angry horse neighed, raised its two front hooves, and kicked at Xiang Liang.

"Uncle, be careful!" Xiang Yu's eyes turned cold. He quickly passed Xiang Liang and thrust out his fists with tremendous force.

Peng——

Their fists and hooves collided with a loud crash, and both the horse and Xiang Yu took a step back.

"Brother!" Xiang An squeezed in, frowning as he looked at the black horse. "Are you alright?"

"It's alright." Xiang Yu's eyes were somewhat serious. "This horse is incredibly strong."

"It looks like it kicked up the stable and escaped, making a mess of the yard." Although he said this, Xiang Liang's eyes already showed affection. "Such an unruly nature, no wonder it's a thoroughbred, truly not something an ordinary person can tame!"

"Uncle, what do you mean...?" Xiang Yu's gaze remained fixed on the black steed, without ever looking away.

In fact, Xiang Liang and Xiang An were the same; the eyes of the three grown men were actually sparkling.

How could a great man not be delighted by such a fine steed?

The little girl Zijuan standing next to them, though also interested in the horses, inexplicably felt a chill...

The horse was entirely black, its black gleaming, tall and strong with bulging muscles, except for its four hooves, which were as white as snow, without a single stray hair.

Xiang Liang was increasingly pleased with the sight, and couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "Excellent! Excellent! What a magnificent black steed that kicks the clouds! Third Brother has done a great job this time, hahaha!!!"

"Xiang Yu, Xiang An, get out of the way! I'm going to tame the horse!" Xiang Liang said, then rushed forward and leaped onto the back of the black horse before it could react.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

A person appeared on its back, and Wuzhui instantly flew into a rage, leaping violently in an attempt to throw Xiang Liang off.

Xiang Liang clung to the neck of the black horse, his legs clamped tightly around it, his teeth clenched, his heart pounding with fear from the moment the horse began to move.

Xiang Yu was right, this horse—

What incredible strength!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

When Wuzhui realized that a simple jump wouldn't shake off Xiangliang, he became even angrier.

It carried Xiang Liang and rampaged through Xiang Bo's courtyard, causing rampage and destruction.

"Xiao Juan!" Xiang An noticed that the black horse was coming this way, so he quickly picked up Zi Juan and jumped onto the wall.

The black horse raised its two hind legs and slammed them against the wall, shattering the wall of Xiang Bo's courtyard.

"Holy crap—" Xiang An was startled and, holding Zi Juan, did a somersault to land on the ground, avoiding the deadly kick.

After kicking down the wall, Wuzhui carried Xiang Liang along the street, leaving behind the three Xiang siblings who were still in shock.

"Xiang An! You stay here with Xiao Juan and tell Third Uncle what's going on." Xiang Yu's eyes flashed as he looked at Xiang An seriously. "I'm going to chase after Uncle now!"

"Okay! Go quickly, in case something happens to your uncle, this horse is a bit scary." Xiang An put the frightened Zijuan down on the ground and indicated that he understood.

"Alright, I'm off then!" Xiang Yu ran to the next stable, grabbed a horse, mounted it, and chased after Xiang Liang and Wuzhui.

"Sigh... what's going on here?" Xiang An scratched his head, feeling a bit tired.

However, Xiang Bo should be the one who is more mentally exhausted.

He's now leaning against the doorframe, looking at his messy yard, and he feels...

Ah, don't even feel it anymore, I'm about to faint.

"Third Uncle!" Xiang An shouted upon noticing Xiang Bo's condition and quickly ran over to help him up.

"My, my yard, my steed..." Xiang Bo's blood pressure was probably over 200, and he was muttering something incoherently.

"Alright, Third Uncle, you obviously can't tame that kind of thoroughbred, so don't even think about it," Xiang An comforted him considerately. "After Uncle tames Wuzhui, you can ask him for some reward money."

Listening to Xiang An's comforting words, Xiang Bo's emotions calmed down noticeably; look, he's completely still.

"Third Uncle! Third Uncle! Cheer up, Third Uncle!"

Chapter 816 Xiang An Dances with a Spear

Xiang Liang clung tightly to Wuzhui's neck, gritting his teeth and using all his strength to stabilize his body.

but--

No!

It felt like I could be thrown off at any moment! I couldn't hold on at all!

The black horse was incredibly strong; it ran, jumped, and swung around, making Xiang Liang feel like his bones were about to break.

Xiang Yu rode an ordinary chestnut horse in pursuit, but even though Wuzhui wasn't running with full concentration, the ordinary chestnut horse couldn't catch up with Wuzhui and could only trail far behind, anxiously watching Wuzhui and Xiang Liang running ahead.

Wuzhui had already carried Xiang Liang and was almost out of Kuaiji City, causing chaos throughout the entire city.

"Damn it, Uncle is about to give up!" Xiang Yu's eyesight was still very accurate. Xiang Liang's body had begun to shift. The fact that the body was shifting on the back of the violently swinging black horse meant something that goes without saying.

"Faster, faster!" Xiang Yu cracked the whip, gritting his teeth as he urged his chestnut horse to accelerate further.

"Ugh—" Xiang Liang's eyes widened in fury, his lower body already being tossed about by Wuzhui. "Damn it—I can't take it anymore!!!"

Wuzhui also realized Xiang Liang's condition, and its beating became even more intense.

However, Xiang Liang's hands were clasped tightly around Wu Zhui's neck, as if they were tied in knots.

With a determined effort, Wuzhui used all four legs to propel itself up from the ground.

Xiang Liang was stunned.

The black horse's body flipped over in mid-air, its four legs pointing upwards, about to fall to the ground.

"Uncle! Let go!!!" Xiang Yu's panicked shout came from afar.

Upon hearing Xiang Yu's roar, Xiang Liang instinctively released his grip on Wuzhui's neck.

"Pfft-"

"Neigh—"

Both the man and the horse let out screams of agony.

Fortunately, Xiang Liang released his hands in advance; otherwise, he would have been crushed by the heavy black horse and might have lost his life.

The fall caused Xiang Liang's mouth to bleed, but Xiang Liang knew he had to move.

Horses are inherently stronger than humans, let alone this incredibly powerful thoroughbred. If we don't get out of here quickly, a couple of kicks from that black steed could leave us with broken bones and torn tendons. Then we'll see how embarrassing it is to end up lying next to the third brother...

Enduring the pain, Xiang Liang rolled on the spot, and sure enough, the black horse's hooves were imprinted on the ground the moment Xiang Liang left.

Xiang Liang, still shaken, got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the spirited and imposing black horse, and sighed silently.

I can't even tame this thoroughbred...?

Xiang Yu had already arrived on his chestnut horse. Xiang Liang's mind raced, and he looked up and shouted, "Xiang Yu! Tame the horse!"

Xiang Yu was taken aback, but then he understood what Xiang Liang meant.

"Xiang Yu understands!" A slight smile appeared on Xiang Yu's lips.

In any case, this fine steed is definitely going to be ridden by the Xiang family!

With a powerful thrust of his legs, Xiang Yu stood up directly on the back of his chestnut horse, his gaze fixed on the Black Steed with its tail feathers, his eyes narrowed, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.

Wuzhui felt a chill run down its spine.

As the horse turned its head, it saw a dark shadow leap high into the air, its face contorted in a ferocious expression, and it sat down on its back.

Ouch!

The black horse let out a terrified neigh and tried to run away, but—it was too late.

Xiang Yu landed firmly on the back of Wuzhui, his strong arms gripping the horse's neck tightly.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Wuzhui was undoubtedly enraged again, wanting to throw Xiang Yu off just as it had thrown off Xiang Liang.

But Wuzhui already sensed something was wrong. This man was much stronger than the one from before, not to mention the weakling who tried to ride him that morning.

But there's no way around it; it doesn't want to be tamed by mere humans. Even if you're strong enough to lift a mountain, I'll still throw you off!

Xiang Liang watched as Wuzhui led Xiang Yu away into the distance, then collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Xiang Liang had spent his life on the battlefield and had seen and ridden countless fine horses, but he had never seen one as fierce as this Black Steed that Kissed Clouds.

"So be it, so be it... If I gain it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's my fate." Shaking his head, Xiang Liang sighed and accepted the fact.

I truly lack the ability to tame this Black Steed that kicks the clouds.

"I hope Xiang Yu can be tamed—uh!" He only got halfway through his sentence when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his side.

"...I'm afraid his ribs are broken." Looking up, Xiang Liang saw that the chestnut horse that Xiang Yu had ridden was leisurely grazing by the roadside because no one was driving it.

"Sigh..." Xiang Liang sighed deeply, feeling utterly miserable. "Let's go back first, then wait for Xiang Yu's good news, uh..."

I mounted the horse; this chestnut horse was so gentle.

Riding his chestnut horse, Xiang Liang began his return journey towards Kuaiji City.

......

The black horse carried Xiang Yu at breakneck speed, galloping without stopping for a moment.

Xiang Yu finally got a direct understanding of what a "thousand-mile horse" truly meant.

A thoroughbred horse can not only run a thousand miles, but its speed is also a thousand miles!
