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

but--

"Ugh—uh—" A sharp pain shot through his body. Xiang Yu wasn't afraid of pain, but—

The machine is malfunctioning and is repairing itself; he is currently... unable to move!

"Xiang An—no!" Helpless, he could only roar from a great distance.

How could Xiang An possibly hear that?

But then they saw Xiang An, who was riding on horseback, raise his large spear.

A terrifying fluctuation emanated from that large halberd.

The brothers Xiang Yu and Xiang An were not ordinary people, but rather a world-saving weapon created by the First Emperor of Qin, who unified the world, and Xiang Chao, the eldest son of the previous generation of the Xiang family, in order to save the Central Plains.

Since it is a weapon, how could it not have a sharp edge?

However, this sharpness, after being sealed and returned, is no longer simply sharpness.

Just as Xiang Yu injured himself, the recoil Xiang An would experience from unleashing his full magical power would be even greater.

But Xiang An went without hesitation.

While he was thinking, Xiang An had already rushed to the front of the Qin army's formation, and alone, he recklessly charged into the Qin army's battle.

Like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, the swirling wind instantly swept up the Qin soldiers beside Xiang An.

Xiang An was like a sharp sword, piercing the heads of the Qin army, and the target...

That's Zhang Han.

"Zhang Han, you treacherous dog—"

Blood was seeping from the corners of Xiang An's and Tuan Chi's mouths, and there was no need to charge forward anymore.

The swift current carried Xiang An high into the air, and Xiang An swung the large halberd in his hand in a wide arc.

stop--

The large halberd fell, its target being only Zhang Han.

Zhang Han looked up, not yet realizing what was happening, when he saw the shadows of a man and a horse blocking out the sunlight.

"die--!

! ”

Boom! ...

!

Chapter 924 The Dispute Between Brothers Beneath the Walls of Julu City

The consequences of Xiang An's drastic actions are beyond doubt.

A huge crater appeared on the spot, and Zhang Han, who had been directly hit by Xiang An's spear, was so badly injured that his body was no longer recognizable as human.

Xiang An remained in the posture of wielding his spear. The armor on his head had long since been swept away by the strong wind, and his long, black hair was spread out, draped over his broad back, along with the mud that had been kicked up.

Stray hairs obscured Xiang An's forehead, making it impossible to see his expression; however, no one dared to look at Xiang An's expression now.

The Qin soldiers were afraid.

"Great General—!"

After a few seconds of silence, a sorrowful and incredulous cry rang out.

Jin Qixiu emerged from the Qin soldiers' ranks, his mournful cry utterly jolting the stunned Qin soldiers awake. In an instant, the escape began.

First came Xiang Yu, then Xiang An. The two brothers displayed power that was absolutely beyond reason, and these ordinary Qin soldiers, who were born into death row inmates, were truly afraid.

Zhang Han's Qin soldiers hastily began to retreat, while Wang Li's army, still possessing the will to fight, continued to advance. In an instant, the Qin army was thrown into chaos.

Jin Qixiu stared blankly at the half-buried, still relatively intact half of Zhang Han, which was buried in the ground beneath Xiang Anpi. He could vaguely see the lifeless eyes still looking at Jin Qixiu.

Xiang An slowly straightened up. Although there was no ferocious expression on his face, just his eyes and that look made Jin Qixiu involuntarily panic.

What was that feeling like?

No, what is that?

What is that glaring at me?

Suddenly, Xiang An moved.

Jin Qixiu subconsciously thought that Xiang An was about to perform the dance, and his whole body trembled, and he unintentionally took a step back.

Xiang An planted the large halberd on the ground, lowered his head slightly, and licked his lips.

"This is the taste of blood... I haven't tasted it in so long."

Jin Qixiu did not hear what Xiang An said; his gaze was fixed on his feet.

Hearing the shouts and sounds of retreat around him, Jin Qixiu closed his eyes with a slight pain.

With the general dead, I... must take command of the army.

Xiang An watched as Jin Qixiu, who was roaring and turning to leave, tried his best to control the situation. He did not stop him, but simply stood there on the giant wave, took a few deep breaths, and then turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

As the Qin army retreated, the Chu army naturally pursued them, along with Xiang An's troops. After joining forces, the Chu army pressed forward, continuing to devour the Qin army's bones and blood. The Chu army of over 100,000 actually drove the Qin army of over 300,000 northward.

Those who remained in place were the two brothers from the Xiang family.

Xiang Yu was now able to move, and he spurred his steed, Black Steed, to Xiang An's side.

The two brothers stared at each other, surrounded by a thick stench of blood and corpses scattered everywhere.

Xiang Yu's eyes were filled with uncontrollable rage.

The next second, he actually raised the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd and pointed it at Xiang An.

"Disobeying military orders means I can execute you right now, do you understand?"

Xiang An forced a smile but did not respond.

"Why did you change the battle route I arranged? Why did you disobey orders and come to the battlefield of Julu? Why did you kill Zhang Han?"

winter--!

Xiang Yu forcefully slammed the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd into the ground, causing the surrounding ground to tremble.

Xiang An's forced smile faded slightly.

Because he sensed that Xiang Yu was serious.

He was asking these questions seriously.

Xiang An's expression turned somber, his eyes fixed on Xiang Yu, as if trying to discern something beneath Xiang Yu's angry expression.

fo

Unfortunately, the outcome was destined to disappoint Xiang An.

“First of all, the battle route you have arranged is pure nonsense in my opinion.” Xiang An answered seriously, just as Xiang Yu was asking seriously. “The Qin army is numerous along the way. Even if our Chu army has strong combat capabilities, we have to consider the issue of attrition. It is impossible for me to fight all the way to Hangu Pass with my big toe.”

"Second," Xiang An continued, holding up two fingers, "why did I disobey orders and come here? Brother, why don't you tell me exactly how many troops you had before? I know you had some arrangements, but can these arrangements really make up for the overwhelming numerical disadvantage?"

"These are not matters for a mere division commander like you! You shouldn't have disobeyed military orders!" Xiang Yu said through gritted teeth, pointing to his eyes. "Don't you know what these eyes of mine can see?"

"Then did you see me disobey military orders?" Xiang An retorted in an even louder voice, glaring at Xiang Yu. "Do you think your father lets you see things continuously so you can use them to make arbitrary arrangements? Do you think there's a real reason why your father doesn't give you a complete vision of the future?"

Xiang Yu was stunned by Xiang An's words and stood there dumbfounded.

"There's a third question." Xiang An's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of disappointment in them. "Brother, how did you manage to ask a third question?"

"I don't understand."

"Zhang Han is of great use to my future plans, so why can't I ask him?" Xiang Yu's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Xiang An with a calm yet angry expression.

"Then tell me, who killed our uncle?" Xiang An frowned. "Who killed the uncle who treated us like his own sons before our strength and memories returned!"

"Zhang Han".

"So you're still planning to use him?!"

"Why not!? This concerns the Central Plains, I ask you, why not!?"

"Why is it impossible?!"

As Xiang An roared, the atmosphere fell silent.

Tears streamed from Xiang An's eyes, leaving two streaks on his blood-stained face as he looked at Xiang Yu with sorrow.

“That’s my uncle—that’s Zhang Han, who killed my uncle.”

Xiang An threw the large halberd aside and approached Xiang Yu.

"Don't you have even the slightest bit of human emotion left?"

"Xiang Yu! Kuaiji Zero Formation!"

Xiang An questioned.

"I simply don't let emotions cloud my judgment," Xiang Yu said, looking at Xiang An without flinching. "And what were you doing? What were you doing while I was strategizing how to save the Central Plains?"

"What else did you do besides ruining my plans?"

"I'm saving the world in my own way!" Xiang An's eyes widened as well. "Without the tyrannical Qin dynasty, the world will never be at peace."

"The Qin army is in Zhang Han's hands. His appeal is unmatched. If he dies, the Qin army will naturally collapse without a fight. Without Zhang Han's army, is the Qin army still the Qin army?"

"What about Guanzhong? Should we give it to Liu Ji?" Xiang An countered.

"Who made that agreement?" Xiang An narrowed his eyes.

Chapter 925 The Current Situation in Xianyang

The argument ended in a bad breakup.

Both brothers had their own principles and were not the kind of people who could be easily persuaded, so naturally neither of them was happy.
