Chapter 58 The greatest confidence
"This is not a solution. Let's go into the mountains!"

Xiang Liang looked at the Qin cavalry that was getting closer and closer from behind, his face solemn, and he suddenly shouted.

Then, when they reached a fork in the road, he took the lead and pulled the reins. The horse neighed and rushed into a dense forest path.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu and Tian Heng hurriedly followed.

The forest was lush and green, and once they rushed into it, their vision was greatly limited. After running for a while, they didn't see the pursuers behind them. When they reached a three-way intersection, the three men dismounted and suddenly pulled the horses' buttocks. Suddenly, the three horses galloped wildly and disappeared into a trail.

Then the three of them went into the jungle, heading in the opposite direction, not taking the trail, but following the dense forest.

This method really worked. The three of them walked for most of the day and still did not hear any sound of the Qin army chasing them. It was obvious that they had really gotten rid of them.

At this time, the three of them sat down to rest.

"I thought we would be defeated so badly this time. Why did the situation suddenly take a turn for the worse?"

Tian Heng hammered the tree next to him angrily.

Who could understand his current mood? After watching the ambush, Xiang Yu led his troops to kill people in all directions and forced Ying Zheng to flee.

At that moment, he thought that killing the tyrant Ying Zheng, if not a sure thing, should be pretty close.

But they never expected that when they fought their way out of the dense forest slope, they would see a shocking and unbelievable scene.

The hundreds of soldiers who had been chasing Ying Zheng had all fallen to the ground. It was truly shocking, considering that at that time their opponents were only dozens of Qin soldiers.

"Yu'er, what's going on?"

Xiang Liang was also puzzled at this time.

After hearing the two people's questions, Xiang Yu couldn't help but recall the scene of being struck by lightning again. He felt a slight chill all over his body and his scalp was numb.

"It was Master Ye who saved Ying Zheng!"

Xiang Yu told the two of them what had happened, and Xiang Liang and Tian Heng were stunned and could not believe it.

But the facts are there. Otherwise, how could Xiang Yu and hundreds of soldiers be defeated in the blink of an eye?

"That Taoist priest Ye Yu actually summoned thunder to strike you..."

Tian Heng murmured, his eyes dull, and he felt that at this moment, his worldview was shattered.

At least in his understanding, there shouldn't be such powerful alchemists in this world, otherwise where would the war come from? This world has long been ruled by alchemists, and the previous wars among the countries were even more like a joke.

Xiang Liang was speechless for a long time and simply shut himself off.

Even when Zhang Liang was planning, he never thought that Ye Yu could have such great destructive power.

Previously, they had imagined that perhaps the swordsmen on duty at Yinxian Peak, such as Gai Nie, Han Xin and others who had recently become famous, would help.

Although their combat record is impressive, they often fight one against a hundred and wipe out bandit nests.

But the problem was that they were facing bandits who were not wearing armor, so their fighting power could not be compared with that of the local soldiers led by the brave Xiang Yu.

They even imagined that perhaps when they saw a large number of soldiers surrounding and killing Ying Zheng, Gai Nie and others would not even dare to step forward.

Even if Ye Yu came, he could at most use lightning or some magic to kill dozens of people, but with so many armored and armed soldiers around, he might not dare to do anything.

Everyone thought that this was the situation, and they could even kill Ying Zheng before he got close to Yinxian Peak. But who could have expected that Ying Zheng himself was also a terrifying swordsmanship master? If it weren't for Xiang Yu, the situation might have been reversed on the spot.

"Success or failure is just around the corner. I didn't expect there would be so many variables. Ying Zheng's performance is not inferior to the legendary swordsmanship of Gai Nie and Han Xin. Could this be part of the inheritance of Yinxian Peak?"

"And the thunder technique, and the ability to fly with the wind, how can anyone in this world be able to defeat him? With Immortal Ye here, Ying Zheng can't kill him!"

Zhang Liang had already escaped by this time. He was in the position of a counselor from the beginning, so he did not rush forward. He took a comprehensive view of the whole situation and saw everything that had happened. At this moment, he was reviewing today's events. The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became.

This should be the last chance to ambush Xi Zheng. Not to mention whether their forces still have the resources to organize an assassination of such a scale. Even if they do, I am afraid that the next ambush will be by Ying Zheng hunting them down.

Because Zhang Liang could see from Ying Zheng's performance that his transformation was very obvious, and he had never heard of Ying Zheng having such martial power before.

Now Ying Zheng has the ability to fight one hundred people at once. As he and Ye Yu practice, his cultivation will gradually deepen. By then, he will have entered the extraordinary and mysterious realm. How can mortals kill him?
What’s even more terrifying is the magic power displayed by Ye Yu. With him around, killing Ying Zheng is simply a fantasy.

Now, apart from coming to Yinxian Peak, Ying Zheng has not moved for nearly half a year. Ye Yuwei is his greatest confidence.

Just as Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang, Zhang Liang and others were recalling today's events, their minds were filled with thoughts.

At this time at Yinxian Peak, Ye Yu nodded and agreed to Lord Wang's request.

"Hahaha, thank you very much sir!"

Ying Zheng was very happy and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

Just now, Ying Zheng told Ye Yu that the situation is now dangerous and the remnants of the six countries want to assassinate him, so he wants to practice in the spiritual mist for a period of time like Gai Nie and others.

During this period, Ying Zheng came here occasionally. Naturally, he knew the benefits of spiritual substances and had been itching to try them. This time, he found an excuse to stay at the foot of the mountain and practice.

Now at the foot of the mountain, Gai Nie and others asked someone to build some houses for them to live in, making it convenient for them to practice halfway up the mountain. Ying Zheng also decided to stay with Gai Nie and the others for a while.

These spiritual substances were so attractive that Ying Zheng felt that by practicing here, he could shorten the time it took to reach perfection.

Today, Ye Yu finally understood why Lord Wang was always accompanied by so many guards when he went out. It turned out that there was a real assassination, and the scale was not small. It was conceivable that the dignitaries and royal relatives of the Qin Dynasty had to be careful of retaliation when they went out.

But think about it, after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, it was normal for all the kings, princes, generals and ministers of the Qin Dynasty to have some grudges against each other and be killed.

"If Lord Wang's daughters are afraid of danger, they can come and stay for a few days."

Ye Yu decided to be a good person to the end.

In the past two or three months, Lord Wang brought his daughters here several times. They were all really slender and plump, all stunning beauties. However, Ye Yu did not respond to Lord Wang's suggestion of marrying off his daughters.

But there was a girl named Yang'er who came over many times and actually became friends with Lu Ling, who was originally somewhat hostile to her. This left a deep impression on Ye Yu.

"That's great!"

The smile on Ying Zheng's face became brighter and brighter. If a man and a woman spend more time together and develop feelings for each other, that would be great.

Calculating the time, Ying Zheng still had things to deal with down the mountain, so he said goodbye and went down the mountain.

Time passed by little by little, and the sky gradually darkened.

Ye Yu was practicing in a quiet room when he suddenly felt a noise outside. He slowly stopped practicing and looked towards the door. From the sound, he knew who was coming.
