Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

"These are what fell from the nests of the so-called senior figures of the six nations. They are all gold, silver, treasures, splendor and wealth!"

The agent shouted and threw out a package, which was filled with precious gold, silver, jewelry and silk!
The dazzling light made the eyes of many poor people pop out.

The agent walked forward, grabbed a string of gold and silver jewels and roared angrily: "Look, this is the evidence that we rebelled and they made money behind our backs! When we couldn't even get a bite of food to eat, they used our lives and blood to enjoy wealth and glory. Why should we protect him?"

Seeing this scene, the nobleman from the Six Nations who was lying on the ground turned pale and screamed in panic: "No! This is not mine! I don't have such a thing! You can't listen to their nonsense! Don't be misled by them!"

"This is not our gold, silver, or jewelry. This must be a plot by the Qin State! They must be trying to alienate us!"

But with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry right before their eyes, and all kinds of words that bring them happiness, how can they continue to believe in this situation?
As expected, as the trustee spoke a few words, countless people became angry.

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"A bunch of nobles from the six countries who only know how to eat, drink, gamble and have sex should have died long ago!"

"Long live the Great Qin! Long live His Majesty the First Emperor!"

One by one, the people started shouting.

Seeing this scene, the noble from the six countries who was lying on the ground suddenly turned extremely pale.

Even as a strong man tied his hands with chains and threw him on the guillotine, he still muttered and looked into the distance.

"It's over."

"This time the six nations are completely finished."

At this time, it was raining heavily and the forest was extremely muddy.

Two figures were moving awkwardly through the jungle.

"Uncle, let's hurry up! They are probably right behind us and will soon catch up."

One of them looked to be a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. Although he was just a young man, he was extremely tall and had a handsome appearance.

There is unimaginable courage in his every gesture and even though he is running for his life, he still has the demeanor of a king.

Behind him was an old man, probably in his seventies or eighties, also with a handsome appearance.

Different from the youthful vigor and vitality, the old man's face looked particularly ugly at this moment. It couldn't even be described as ugly anymore. It was more like gray and lonely.

"Run? Why are we running now? The entire Great Chu is gone. All the people, all the people are dead. What's the point of us running?"

The old man's face was extremely pale. He muttered something here and smiled miserably.

"Uncle, you can't be like this. We are both still alive, right? As long as we are alive, the entire Great Chu Kingdom will still exist."

The young man spoke here with great determination. In his hand he was holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, which looked particularly heavy.

The cold light cut a path deep into the bushes.

"As long as we return to Jiangdong alive, we will definitely be able to make a comeback! There are still too many of our men there. Believe us, they will definitely not abandon us."

The young man spoke seriously here, trying to persuade the pale-faced old man behind him.

"You always told me not to give up no matter what happens. Now is the most critical moment, and only now can we finally show our steadfast strength."

"What does it matter if Ying Zheng is alive? Even if he appears again, he is doomed to be unable to stop our rise."

The young man spoke seriously here, trying to persuade while he was fleeing.

That’s right, the two figures moving through the jungle were none other than the future Overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, and his uncle Xiang Liang.

As the future overlord, Xiang Yu knew very well that he had suffered a crushing defeat in this battle, but he did not think it was his fault.

He believed that the defeat in that battle was entirely due to the mysterious dragon.

No one knows why the dragon appears, and no one understands its origin.

Xiang Yu firmly believed that if the dragon had not appeared, the Qin Dynasty's rule might have been rewritten long ago.

That was not his failure, but God's will.

However, the belief that "man can conquer nature" was already deeply rooted in his bones, and he did not think that this failure would allow the Qin State to continue to prosper.

"Uncle, stand up! We will win one day, and this world will eventually belong to our great Chu Kingdom!" Xiang Yu said firmly, carrying the exhausted Xiang Liang on his back and struggling to shuttle through the dense jungle.

They had to keep running because there were hundreds of Qin soldiers chasing them.

If Xiang Yu was alone, he might be able to easily maneuver in the jungle and defeat these hundred people.

But now, he cannot do that, because behind him is Xiang Liang and the hope of the entire Chu Kingdom.

Xiang Yu was well aware of his shortcomings. He was almost invincible when it came to leading troops in battle, but he knew almost nothing when it came to winning the hearts of the people and managing policies.

If Xiang Liang died here, the hope of the revival of the Chu Kingdom would be completely shattered.

They must not die here. If possible, Xiang Yu even wanted to break into Xianyang of Qin alone to carry out the final assassination and conquest.

Because he discovered a rare treasure in a cave not long ago.

"We can't die, uncle. With this treasure, we may be able to kill Ying Zheng and completely change the situation in the world!"

Xiang Yu struggled forward carrying the nearly unconscious Xiang Liang on his back. At this moment, a fierce roar suddenly came from the jungle behind him.

"I saw that man! Those two Chu people are right here! Chase them quickly!"

Xiang Yu's face turned ugly when he heard the sound of the pursuers. In the past, with his skills, he might not be able to kill these pursuers completely, but he would definitely not be able to catch up with him.

But now, the situation was different as he was carrying an old man who had lost his fighting spirit.

"Uncle, cheer up!"

Xiang Yu called out anxiously, but Xiang Liang no longer had the fighting spirit he had before. His hair had turned white, and he looked disheveled and decadent in the rainstorm.

Xiang Yu was extremely anxious, but he could not abandon Xiang Liang and escape alone, so he could only carry him on his back and run quickly through the jungle.

Thanks to the tough physique and natural strength given by his parents, Xiang Yu greatly enhanced his own strength while studying the art of war.

He took advantage of the cover of heavy rain and dealt with many soldiers in the jungle, and was not caught up by them.

However, as he looked at the pursuers getting closer and closer, murderous intent gradually flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes.

He hid Xiang Liang in a secluded place and started the investigation alone.

Soon, he discovered that there were not many soldiers chasing him, only forty or fifty.

He decided to kill them all here, because it would be too disadvantageous for them to continue fleeing.

With his agile skills, Xiang Yu drew out a dagger and slowly climbed up a tree about four or five meters high.

He hid in the dense branches like a cheetah, and countless people walked past him without noticing him.

Although he was the future Overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu was by no means a reckless man with strong limbs and a simple mind. He waited patiently, waiting for the opportunity for a soldier to be left alone.

Time passed minute by minute, one soldier after another passed by him, but he did not move.

He didn't follow quietly until a soldier was left alone.

This is the person.

Taking advantage of the soldier's off guard, Xiang Yu rushed forward like a cheetah, tearing through the rain.

The Qin soldier was also a veteran of many battles and reacted almost immediately.

He looked back and saw a figure rushing towards him.

He was about to roar, but before he could say anything, Xiang Yu threw the dagger in his hand at him.

Seeing the dagger, the soldier immediately sneered.

He thought that this short dagger could not penetrate his heavy armor.

However, his eyes widened before he could finish the sentence.

Because he found that Xiang Yu also grabbed a stone the size of a human head and threw it at him, and the direction of the stone was exactly the back end of the dagger!

"You want to use a rock to hit the dagger and pierce my armor? How is that possible?!"

As soon as this thought flashed through the soldier's mind, he wanted to dodge, but it was too late!
Accompanied by a clanging sound, blood splattered everywhere in an instant!

This was the first soldier to fall.

Blood gushed out in the heavy rain.

The soldier never thought that he would die by a dagger.

He was heavily armored, every inch of him protected by tough defense.

But now his defense was pierced and blood was gushing out from his wound.

At the last moment before his death, he finally understood that the young man in front of him had found the weakest point in his armor's defense!
This is almost an impossible thing, but the young man in front of him did it!

He wanted to speak to warn his comrades around him to be careful of the young man in front of them, but he was no longer able to speak.

He covered his neck tightly and felt it was so difficult to breathe.

"Pfft!"

Xiang Yu walked forward, pulled out the dagger without hesitation, grabbed the soldier's head, and broke his neck with a snap.

"Huh" really worked.

Facing Eleven lying on the ground, even Xiang Yu couldn't help feeling a little unbelievable and shocked.

After all, it was really beyond common sense to be able to quickly find the key point of breakthrough in such a dark night and under such heavy rain.

Recalling that about six hours ago, when Xiang Yu was fleeing with Xiang Liang on his back, he accidentally discovered countless relics with strange runes inscribed on them in a dense forest.

Those runes were like ghost paintings, carved in every corner of the mountains and forests, and finally gathered in a cave.

At first, Xiang Yu just regarded these symbols as ordinary scribbles and did not intend to delve into them or take them seriously.

However, as time went by, the runes seemed to gradually come alive, appearing before his eyes one by one, slowly revealing their shapes.

Although he could not understand the specific meaning of these runes, he could feel the powerful power generated when they were combined together.

At this moment, a rune reflected in Xiang Yu's pupils flashed a faint light, allowing him to have sufficient vision even in the dark night.

This scene was undoubtedly shocking. Not only his eyes, but his entire body was covered with various runes, like ghost paintings.

If this scene was seen by Ying Zheng, Fusu or Xu Fu, they would be shocked, because these runes are not ordinary things, but a kind of magical power.

Although this application was still at the most basic level, Xiang Yu was able to understand it at just one glance, which undoubtedly proved his extraordinary talent.

"These ghostly things are really not simple. They do have extraordinary origins!"

Xiang Yu was secretly shocked, and the first thing he wanted to do was to pass down these runes to his brothers and sisters.

However, he soon felt disappointed, because almost all the people in the entire Chu State had been killed by Ying Zheng, and there were not many people who could carry this treasure.

"It doesn't matter. As long as time passes and I return to Jiangzhong, I will be able to make a comeback."

Xiang Yu took a deep breath and continued to grope forward in the dark jungle.

He targeted one soldier after another and made his move silently, like a cheetah hiding in the rainy night, secretive and terrifying.

Coupled with his powerful martial arts and rune spells, no one could stop him for a while, and the soldiers fell one after another.

This also indirectly shows how terrifying Yang Ling's runes are.

Just some minor traces engraved on the cave can achieve such an effect.

However, Xiang Yu soon encountered unexpected troubles.

"You are indeed here."

The heavy rain beat against the sky and earth, drifting down from the fallen leaves.

It is already autumn, and the chill in the air brings a hint of coolness.

Heavy raindrops fell on Xiang Yu's body, and a large amount of mist rose up on his skin.

His body was on fire, just because of those runes.

Although Xiang Yu possessed unprecedented talent and understood the runes left by Yang Ling without any guidance, he still found it difficult to control these powers.

He had no systematic training methods or mantras, and didn't know how to circulate his meridians and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so he could only do it this way.

It was also thanks to Xiang Yu's unimaginable luck and his strong body that he was able to hold on for so long.

If it were someone else, they would have collapsed long ago.

However, even though his body was on the verge of collapse, he still relied on runes and spells that he was not proficient in to kill nearly a hundred Qin soldiers in the rainstorm.

This is undoubtedly a record that he can be proud of.

But now his body was about to collapse. His eyes were bloodshot, veins on his forehead were bulging, and the blood in his body was like boiling water, causing him severe pain.

However, the physical pain was not enough to alert Xiang Yu. The only thing that deserved his vigilance was the middle-aged man in front of him.

He felt an unprecedented terror and cold murderous intent from this man. (End of this chapter)
