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

"Second Brother!"

! ”

Two piercing cries drifted from afar, but...

It was too late to stop the two brothers.

call--

boom--!

!

Magic and magic collided like two massive, moving mountains.

Peng!

!

!

The turbid Yellow River, not far away, was startled by the two men's imposing presence, stirring up huge waves tens of meters high that crashed against the shore.

Yu Meiren, Zijuan, and Xiang Jing arrived at the battlefield, but were forced to stay away by the overwhelming aura.

"Uh—" Zijuan involuntarily took a step back, sat on the ground, and looked at the scene in front of her with trembling eyes.

Yu Meiren did not back down, but she placed her hands in front of her chest and looked at her lover and his brother with sorrowful eyes.

Having unleashed such intense magic, both of them were now intent on killing.

She remembered that last night, Xiang Yu had solemnly told her that she was forbidden from participating in today's battle.

Xiang Yu already knew about today's events.

However, he still chose to fight Xiang An to the death.

"Is that so-called peace and prosperity truly more valuable than the lives of Your Majesty and Uncle...?"

With tears in her eyes, Yu Meiren watched the battle with sorrow and grief, muttering to herself.

Zijuan stood up, wanting to take another step forward, but was once again pushed back by the powerful aura.

This high intensity of magical energy dissipation is something ordinary people simply cannot withstand.

Chapter 971 Breaking the Limits, a Laughable Yet Equal Result

With a swing of his large halberd, Xiang An bent the extremely hard halberd handle so that it resembled a snake reaching towards Xiang Yu's chest.

Xiang Yu parried the blow with his halberd, opened Xiang An's large spear, and with a swift turn, the heavy Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd struck Xiang An's head.

However, the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd was already heavy, and Xiang An's drive module was even more powerful. Xiang Yu could not keep up with Xiang An's speed!

Peng—!

!

Xiang Yu's attack missed Xiang An, but crashed violently onto the land beside the river, creating a large crater with a radius of several meters. The yellow river water immediately poured into the crater.

Xiang An jumped high into the air, wielding his large halberd, and spun around once before aiming at Xiang Yu, who was still stuck in the waterlogged pit, and slamming it down.

Although Xiang Yu didn't raise his head, his speed was still considerable, barely keeping up with Xiang An. He gripped the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd with both hands and thrust it upwards with force—

hum-

Boom boom boom boom ——————!

!

!

Magic and wrist strength erupted like a volcanic eruption, blasting up the river water that hadn't yet filled the pit, while Xiang Yu's legs, along with the soft ground, sank several meters.

Neither of them cared about the magic's effects on their bodies anymore; instead, they were fighting with all their might against each other, their goal being—

It was to defeat, or even kill, his own brother.

Besides Yu Meiren, Xiang Jing, and Zijuan, the other Western Chu generals were also drawn over, watching this scene in shock and bewilderment.

Everyone was powerless, even the poppy was powerless.

However, unexpected changes also occurred on the battlefield.

Xiang An's beryllium broke.

Since it was a segmented weapon, it couldn't withstand the immense power and magic. It broke off at the segment and was swept away by the magic and a whirlwind.

The large halberd broke, instantly shattering the balance of magic output. Xiang An spun and flew backward, smashing a large rock to pieces and creating a large crater in the ground.

"Mmm—drink it!"

"!" Xiang Yu's face was like a demon, and he brandished his halberd and charged towards Xiang An. Xiang An climbed out of the pit, ignoring the blood at the corner of his mouth. He was unarmed but not afraid at all, and roared as he charged towards Xiang Yu.

The Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd missed Xiang An, but instead plowed a huge and deep trench in the ground. Xiang An gasped for breath and looked around the battlefield, only to find that his halberd had been split into three pieces, which had fallen to three different places, all quite far away.

He wasn't picky; he casually picked up a small tree a few steps away, about the thickness of a thigh, and with a little effort, pulled it out.

"Aa ...

!

"

With the tree roots pointed in Xiang Yu's direction, Xiang An charged straight towards him as if he didn't care about anything else.

Xiang Yu seemed to have suddenly seen something. He twisted his hands, leaving the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd behind, and pressed his right palm against the end of the halberd, pressing it forward forcefully.

How could a mere tree possibly compare to a divine weapon? The halberd cleaved the small tree trunk in two as easily as tearing tofu apart, and Xiang An's figure vanished once more.

Xiang Yu clenched his left fist and punched into thin air, but—

Peng!

The two fists clashed, and the dull, unsettling sound struck the hearts of all the generals of Western Chu.

Xiang Antong shrank back, his body turned away, and his left elbow went toward Xiang Yu's back. But Xiang Yu leaned back and avoided Xiang Antong's elbow strike. He ignored the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, grabbed Xiang Antong's left hand with his other hand, and clamped it down.

Xiang An's spinning motion didn't stop at all; his right hand remained in a fist, aimed straight at Xiang Yu's head.

Xiang Yu tilted his head, and his freed left hand instantly blocked between his face and Xiang An's fist, grabbing Xiang An's fist.

In an instant, their upper arms were locked together.

Xiang An was a step faster. Xiang Yu had just assumed a horse stance and lowered his body when he realized what Xiang An was about to do. He leaned forward to avoid Xiang An's sweeping kick, and at the same time, he kicked forward with his back foot.

Xiang Yu kicked Xiang An's knee, and the two were forced to separate again.

"...Predicting the future." Xiang An snorted coldly.

Because of this damned thing, Xiang An never won against Xiang Yu.

Whoosh—Bang!

!

The river water eventually poured in, flowing into the nearly vertical trench that Xiang Yu had carved out, splashing up a huge spray of water.

Now that Xiang Yu was also out of weapons, Xiang An had no intention of giving Xiang Yu a chance to pick up his weapons again and charged forward once more.

Fists and feet clashed, and the sounds of explosions were almost continuous. Both of them were overdrawing their magic power and physical strength, exchanging blows with all their might.

The two were frantically destroying the terrain along the river in Dongjun City; even the force of their fists and feet could still cause great damage.

If it were before, Xiang An might have already lost.

Even though he was faster, stronger, and more instinctive, Xiang Yu was always able to rely on the intuition brought by the future prediction module to foresee Xiang An's next move and react in advance.

but......

This is the only time we absolutely cannot lose.

Xiang An was furious, furious because of his grief, furious because he could not suppress his anger.

His name is the savior machine, Kaiki Itsuki. He has reason to be sad, reason to be angry, and must be angry.

His elder brother, Xiang Yu, and the actions of the Kuaiji Zero Clan brought too much pain and unnecessary suffering to this Central Plains.

The savior machine—must be rid of anger.

"Aa ...

!

! ”

Xiang An roared, his eyes bloodshot.

The anger finally exceeded Xiang An's physical limits and also exceeded Xiang Yu's foresight.

Xiang An's anger was channeled into his fist, which struck precisely the large wound he had left on Xiang Yu's abdomen, sending Xiang Yu flying.

With a burst of strength from his legs, Xiang An caught up in an instant and kicked Xiang Yu in the face, sending him crashing into the ground, into a crater already filled with river water.

boom--!

!

Xiang Yu crashed into the ground next to the crater formed by numerous bombardments, which had almost turned into a lake. He was embedded in the ground, his expression dazed, with a lot of blood coming from his mouth and nose.

"Deceiving Emperor Kangxi"

And Xiang An was about to crash down with deadly force.

"Uncle! No—!"

"Second Brother!"

! ”

"Second brother—no!"

! ”

Three voices rang out almost simultaneously, reaching Xiang An's ears.
