Fan Zeng shook his head anxiously. Xiang Zhuang had not had the opportunity to kill Liu Bang, while Xiang Yu hesitated and could not bring himself to eliminate Liu Bang. After all, one does not strike a smiling face; Liu Bang was currently devout and compliant. Xiang Yu was a straightforward man, and he could not bring himself to deliver that fatal blow.
"Father Ya, what do you think?"
Xiang Yu handed the Imperial Seal to Fan Zeng, who was so furious that his face turned red, wishing he could smash the seal immediately. However, with a dark expression, he lowered his voice and said, "Yuer, are you really willing to give up the world for a piece of jade? Ye Yang has no desire to become emperor and can be won over, but Liu Bang is an extremely ambitious man. If you do not kill him today, it would be equivalent to handing over half of the kingdom. Is this worth it?"
Xiang Yu laughed heartily and replied, "With half of the kingdom in my hands, no one can take it away!"
Fan Zeng's gaze dimmed as he said, "Then... shall we proceed with the next ceremony?"
"Yes, Yafu."
...
Xiang Yu scanned the crowd and immediately Long Qie stepped forward, hand on his heavy sword. He shouted, "The Tyrant Qin has been defeated! This brings great joy to the people! Chancellor Huai, Sacred Edict, today is a day of national celebration. Please summon Chancellor Huai!"
Moments later, from the side hall emerged Chuhai Wang in splendid attire, flanked by four maidservants holding up his garments. Chancellor Huai's face was filled with glory and arrogance as he looked around and laughed heartily, "Lords and generals, having defeated the Tyrant Qin, each of you has made extraordinary contributions. Once I take command of Xianyang, I will reward you all!"
"Hmph!"
Xiang Yu snorted lightly but did not say anything further.
Liu Bang knelt down in sincere reverence.
Holding the Azure Dragon Halberd, Xiang Yu stepped forward until he stood before Chancellor Huai and declared loudly, "Your Majesty has already secured ninety percent of the world. Soon, General will become the ruler of all under heaven. Our Chu State's Earth Dragon will sing in harmony while all people enjoy peace. Since everyone is so joyful today, I have a suggestion that could add to the festivities."
Chuhai Wang's eyes lit up as he smiled and said, "Is it another beauty from Beiyan? If so, General may present her immediately; I will surely reward you handsomely!"
A glimmer of Cold Light flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes as he smiled slightly, "Not at all! Your Majesty, my suggestion is to hold a martial alliance at this Hongmen Banquet. What do you think?"
"A martial alliance?"
"Exactly!"
Xiang Yu pointed to the high platform at the center of the Hongmen Banquet and laughed heartily, "The Great Qin is ruthless, Your Majesty commands millions of troops sweeping across the land, subduing the feudal lords one by one. Now, under your command, there are thousands of capable generals. Since that is the case, why not hold a martial alliance where everyone sends their own warriors to spar? It should be a friendly match; whoever loses must offer a cherished treasure to the winner. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Chancellor Huai noticed the killing intent in Xiang Yu's eyes and shuddered slightly before nodding, "At this moment, the general can take charge!"
"Good!"
Xiang Yu turned around and looked at the seven feudal lords, smiling as he said, "Since that's settled, let's proceed with this wager. However, first, each family must present their treasures. If there are no rare items to show, it would be quite embarrassing."
Immediately, the lords and generals of the Wei Kingdom exclaimed loudly, "Since General Xiang has said so, he must have some fine treasures. Why not show them to us first?"
Xiang Yu smiled slightly and clapped his hands. Instantly, four Soldiers behind him carried out a long spear that shimmered with lightning. Xiang Yu laughed heartily and said, "This is an ancient divine artifact, the Thunder God Spear. Legend has it that it was the weapon of the Thunder God. Later, it was lost in the Thunder God Clan. Unfortunately, during a calamity, the entire Thunder God Clan was slaughtered, and this Thunder God Spear ended up in my hands."
The group of lords gasped in astonishment. The envoy from Korea widened his eyes and said, "It is actually one of the Twelve Relics, the Thunder God Spear. I never expected such a remarkable treasure would end up with General Xiang."
Xiang Yu chuckled and replied, "It's nothing special."
Soon after, two maidens approached holding a treasure covered with golden fabric. As they unveiled it, it revealed a dazzling mirror.
Xiang Yu said, "This is the Thunder God Mirror, a legendary relic of the ancient gods. Holding the Thunder God Mirror, one can reflect attacks back at their source. Hmph! I believe everyone knows its remarkable uses!"
"Retreating Attack..." Ye Yang also widened his mouth in surprise, "Wow! Is it an attack rebound? Truly a good item..."
Xiang Yu smiled, "Additionally, there is the Divine Wood Flute in Yu Ji's hands and the Wood God Battle Boots under Ying Bu's feet, both treasures among the Twelve Relics. As long as you can defeat my General, you may choose one treasure."
"My goodness, does Xiang Yu possess four of the Twelve Divine Artifacts by himself?" one of the lords exclaimed in shock.
The Korean General shook his head, "Forget it, we Koreans don't have any treasures; I'm afraid we can't make it to the grand occasion."
At this moment, Fan Zeng stood up shakily with the support of his cane and said, "General Han, how can that be? I clearly heard that the Wind God Cloak is in your possession. Are you hiding it for yourself? Do you wish to ruin Your Majesty King Huai's enjoyment?"
The Korean General's face turned ashen, "Old man Fan Zeng, why compare like this?"
Fan Zeng's gaze turned cold, "General Han, go up on stage immediately and accept the challenge. Your Majesty King Huai, what do you think of my proposal?"
Chancellor Huai was pressured and could not refuse, so he nodded.
...
"Hmph, how could I personally present a Treasure? If you want it, come and take it, you bunch of rebels!"
With a loud shout, the Korean General took out a golden Cloak from his bosom and suddenly draped it over himself. A miraculous scene occurred; after putting on the Cloak, he completely vanished from sight!
Everyone gasped in astonishment.
Ye Yang remained calm as he sat there. The Wind God Cloak seemed to have an invisibility effect; it looked quite good for sneaky activities. However, such an effect wouldn't hold up in a grand setting and couldn't escape the notice of a powerhouse like Xiang Yu because while one's form could be concealed, one's aura could not be hidden!
Indeed, Xiang Yu stood in the center of the arena, raising his spear and suddenly shouting, "Han Lin, do you foolishly think you can escape my grasp like this? I have fought for four years, enduring countless Blood Battles, and my decisive battle is renowned throughout the world. Yet you lords cower and watch from the sidelines. Today, I will settle this score with you!"
In the next moment, Xiang Yu suddenly vanished, the rift in space disappearing in an instant.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion in the air, Xiang Yu struck heavily at the void with his elbow, sending the hidden Han Lin crashing to the ground. With only Earth Level Eight strength, how could Han Lin withstand Xiang Yu's attack? In just one blow, he was shattered and fell silently to the ground.
"Swish!"
Xiang Yu reached out and grabbed the Wind God Cloak, tearing it off Han Lin's body. He then commanded, "Someone, take this corpse away!"
...
Ye Yang clutched his Cosmic Bag tightly; it contained several ancient divine relics that must not fall into Xiang Yu's hands. That old man Fan Zeng seemed to have calculated everything; needing the Twelve Divine Artifacts surely meant he had ulterior motives!
At that moment, Xiang Yu suddenly pointed at Ye Yang with a smile on his lips. "Eastern General, you possess five divine artifacts: Wind God Lyre, Earth God Shield, Water God Shield, Fire God Armor, and Earth God War Drum. Yet you have not offered a single one to Your Majesty King Huai. Don't you think such behavior shows a lack of loyalty?"
Ye Yang's heart sank: what was meant to come had finally arrived!
