Chapter 808 Yang Jian's Persistence

A strange look flashed in Yang Jian's eyes. He hadn't expected that, besides Xiang Yu, there would be someone in the Jiangdong Chu army who could intercept his golden pellet in mid-air.

He looked in the direction the arrow had come from and saw Xiang Yu standing in front of the Chu army formation in Jiangdong, holding a heavy longbow, his double pupils staring coldly at him.

Beside him, Zhongli Mei, one of the Five Tiger Generals of Jiangdong, also stood with his bow drawn, a cold expression on his face.

Xiang Yu looked at Yang Jian, a cold glint in his eyes. This Yang Jian was truly no ordinary person.

Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he is also decisive and ruthless, showing no mercy to his enemies.

If it weren't for his and Zhongli Mei's timely intervention today, Gonggong would probably have been severely injured, if not killed.

Yang Jian also looked at Xiang Yu, and their gazes met in the air, as if sparks were flying.

Gonggong returned to the camp, pale-faced and panting.

"Your Majesty, I...I have been defeated."

He looked at Xiang Yu, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. He knew that his performance today had disappointed Xiang Yu, so he could only lower his head and say in a low voice.

"It's alright. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. You have already done your best today, there's no need for this."

"Go back and recharge your energy. There will be plenty of time in the future, and we will have another chance."

Xiang Yu looked at Gonggong, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, but now all he could do was pat Gonggong on the shoulder and sigh.

After saying this, Xiang Yu turned to look at Yang Jian on the battlefield, a cold glint in his eyes.

The next time they meet, he will personally take action and surely kill Yang Jian, avenging the humiliation suffered by the Chu army of Jiangdong today.

Moreover, Yang Jian poses a great threat to the Chu army in Jiangdong. Currently, apart from myself and Gonggong, if anyone else in the Chu army in Jiangdong were to encounter Yang Jian alone on the battlefield, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to run away.

Therefore, if he sees Yang Jian on the battlefield again, he must pay a price to keep Yang Jian here forever!

Yang Jian, on the other side, also felt Xiang Yu's cold gaze, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

You disagree?

What a pity... next time we meet, it won't be me fighting you...

Today's battle is just an appetizer; the real war is yet to come.

...

Just after Yang Jian defeated Gonggong and returned to his camp, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted within the camp.

Many soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army came out of their tents, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at the Taoist master protector, who was surrounded by golden and silver aura and exuded heroic spirit.

At this moment, Yang Jian's pale yellow battle robe looked even more heroic in the afterglow of the setting sun. With his three-pointed double-edged sword on his shoulder and his steps steady, he looked like a god descending to earth.

"General Yang, you are truly incredibly brave!"

"You easily defeated Gonggong, Xiang Yu's strongest general. With such strength, General, you truly deserve the title of 'Divine Warrior'!"

Pei Xingjian was already waiting at the camp gate. Upon seeing Yang Jian return, he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and laughed loudly.

"General Pei, you flatter me. This victory was entirely due to the assistance of all the generals and General Han Xin's brilliant strategy. If Xiang Yu hadn't sounded the retreat, Gonggong might not have been defeated so quickly."

Yang Jian, his chest rising and falling slightly as he took a breath, smiled modestly and said...

Han Xin also came out of his tent upon hearing the news. Seeing Yang Jian return, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. His lord had indeed not lied to him; even Yang Jian, the second-in-command, possessed such strength.

Wang Xiangyang's strength... goes without saying!

"General Yang, your battle today..."

This not only dampened the arrogance of Xiang Yu, that brainless brute, but also boosted the morale of our army.

"Moreover, Xiang Yu is such a scoundrel, arrogant and domineering. Now that he has seen Gonggong defeated by you, he will definitely go out to fight you personally tomorrow and do everything in his power to kill you and avenge today's humiliation."

He patted Yang Jian on the shoulder and laughed.

"General Han Xin is absolutely right. Xiang Yu is a man of great martial arts skills, and his cultivation of internal energy is even more unfathomable."

"If he personally leads the troops into battle, General Yang, you must be extremely careful!"

Pei Xingjian picked up the conversation, his expression grave.

"General Yang, we have already witnessed Xiang Yu's bravery. If he were to make a move, it would surely be with overwhelming force."

"Although we both have confidence, the battlefield is ever-changing, so we must not underestimate our enemy."

"I have discussed this with General Pei. In tomorrow's battle, you should feign weakness to lure the enemy deep into our territory, lead Xiang Yu to the location we have designated, and then have General Wang make a surprise attack. We are sure to achieve something great."

Han Xin nodded and said in a deep voice.

"That's right, General Yang. Xiang Yu is extremely arrogant. If you appear weak, he will definitely think there is an opportunity and personally lead his army to pursue you."

"At that time, we can make preparations in advance, and perhaps we will have a chance to severely damage that scoundrel Xiang Yu in one fell swoop!"

Pei Xingjian, who was standing to the side, echoed his sentiments.

Yang Jian listened to their plan, then remained silent for a moment, then lowered his head and pondered for a while, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Han Xin and Pei Xingjian were surprised to see this and looked at Yang Jian, waiting for his response.

"General Han Xin, General Pei, I appreciate your kindness, but I have a request to make."

"I have been practicing Taoist martial arts since I was a child. Although I dare not say that I have reached the pinnacle, I am quite confident in my own strength."

"I have long heard of Xiang Yu. As the pinnacle of the Qi-based warriors, I have always wanted to have a formal confrontation with him to see just how big the gap is between us."

After a long while, Yang Jian finally raised his head, his eyes flashing, and said firmly.

To be honest, although Yang Jian often sparred with Wang Xiangyang several times when they were in Hengzhou.

At that time, they were colleagues, and they only touched upon each other briefly.

Moreover, given Wang Xiangyang's personality, once the two become familiar with each other, it would be virtually impossible for Wang Xiangyang to harbor murderous intent and deliver a fatal blow to Yang Jian.

Most of the time, Wang Xiangyang was actually feeding Yang Jian tips and tricks.

Yang Jian himself could sense this, but there was nothing he could do about it, since that was just Wang Xiangyang's personality.

He couldn't very well tell Wang Xiangyang, "With the determination to kill me, give me a brutal blow," could he?

Therefore, during this period of time, although Yang Jian had witnessed and even personally experienced the oppressive feeling of the ultimate war god of qi, he had not yet achieved his goal.

But I've never actually faced or even fought against them!

With Wang Xiangyang backing him up in this duel with Xiang Yu, it was perhaps the safest encounter he had ever had with an enemy warrior whose strength had reached its peak.

This made Yang Jian eager to try, as he could understand the true gap between himself and the ultimate War God of Qi, without being in any immediate danger.

If you don't take advantage of this good opportunity now, you probably won't have another chance later.

"General Yang, you are mistaken. On the battlefield, victory and defeat are common occurrences for soldiers, but life is only one."

"Xiang Yu's martial arts skills have reached the pinnacle of the world. If you were to confront him head-on and fight to the death, you might be in danger of losing your life."

Upon hearing this, Han Xin frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
