Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield - Chapter 689 - 280: Xianyang’s Grand Welcome! Return to the Capital!
Chapter 689: Chapter 280: Xianyang’s Grand Welcome! Return to the Capital!
One sword strikes down!
Xiang Yan’s head falls to the ground.
“Killed Chu’s Senior General Xiang Yan, picked up 100 points of All Attributes.” The panel prompted.
Staring at the headless corpse before him.
Zhao Feng raised his eyes and looked at the Chu soldiers behind them.
“Those who refuse to surrender, kill without mercy.”
Zhao Feng lifted his sword and swung it fiercely.
“Swear to follow Your Majesty till death!”
“Kill!”
Countless Daqin Elite Soldiers roared, charging at the Chu Army ahead.
A tide of fury, a killing momentum.
In an instant, the Chu forces in front were devoured.
Soon after,
The main hall of the Prefect’s Mansion was surrounded by Qin Army.
Zhao Feng was the first to burst inside.
As he entered,
He saw Mi Qi sitting on the throne.
Seeing the Qin Army pouring in from outside, a thick despair filled Mi Qi’s eyes.
Yet, draped in his king’s robe, he showed no fear of death.
He slowly stood up,
and drew the sword from his waist: “Zhao Feng.”
“I am the maternal grandfather of Daqin’s Eldest Imperial Son, do you dare to kill me?”
Zhao Feng walked slowly into the hall.
As he moved past—
“Spare my life!”
“Lord Wu’an, spare my life!”
“I am willing to surrender!”
In this grand hall,
the so-called Chu’s Civil and Military Officials all fell to their knees.
Step by step,
Zhao Feng walked towards Mi Qi.
“You really dare to kill me?” Mi Qi shouted in rage, swinging his sword at Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng dodged in a flash.
With a splattering sound,
The blade instantly pierced through Mi Qi’s chest.
“You really… dare…”
Mi Qi stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.
He never expected Zhao Feng would actually dare to kill him. He was, after all, the maternal grandfather of Daqin’s Eldest Imperial Son—even if he betrayed his country, that fact still stood.
Fusu was widely regarded as the most likely successor to the King of Qin in the future.
“Others may fear Fusu, but I do not,” Zhao Feng said coldly.
Anyone—
Even Wang Jian,
if he met Mi Qi, at most would only capture him and hand him to Ying Zheng for judgment. After all, Mi Qi’s position still mattered, the maternal grandfather of the Eldest Imperial Son, kin to the royal family.
If killed, perhaps Fusu would hold a lifelong grudge; in the minds of many, Fusu was the future King of Qin, so no one dared offend him.
Of course,
Zhao Feng was an exception.
In all of Qin,
besides respecting the King of Qin, Zhao Feng had no regard for any of his sons, a bunch of useless trash.
Anyway, Zhao Feng had already planned ahead: after Qin’s unification, he would request to campaign against Baiyue, garrison there, and wait quietly for the chaos at the end of Qin.
Then, with overwhelming might, he would sweep across the land and create a dynasty of his own.
Afterward,
The Longquan Sword was drawn out.
Mi Qi’s vitality instantly cut off, and he fell powerlessly.
“Killed the King of Chu, Mi Qi; picked up 300 points of All Attributes, rewarded with one Third Tier Treasure Box.” The panel prompted.
“Didn’t expect this Mi Qi to possess kingly Qi Fortune—killing him was worthwhile.” Zhao Feng smiled in satisfaction in his heart.
Killing Mi Qi was an unexpected delight.
Having beheaded Mi Qi,
Zhao Feng turned and shouted loud: “Convey my order—clean up the remaining enemies in the city as soon as possible. Any who resist, kill without mercy!”
“We obey the command!”
All the Elite Soldiers responded in unison.
Then they all left the hall to continue hunting down enemy troops.
“Chu State is truly finished.”
“Xiang Yan.”
“It seems his family has already escaped.”
“No telling what kind of Overlord of Western Chu will be born in the future. Still, before me, they’d be easily slain.”
Thinking of just killing Xiang Yan, Zhao Feng couldn’t help but think of the renowned figure from history—Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu.
But,
with his own existence,
there would be no Overlord of Western Chu in the future.
Even if, at the end of Qin, the empire fell into chaos, Zhao Feng was confident he could quickly pacify the land.
With his strength and the resources he held, it was certain he could dominate an era.
—————–
Guiguzi!
“Chu’s Qi Fortune has perished, Fortune returns to Qin.”
“Chu is truly gone.”
“On the Land of the Divine Continent, only Qi remains.”
“Shenzhou will soon be unified.”
“With this, the Shenzhou Human Race’s Qi Fortune will reach the peak. As long as Qin stands, they’ll be suppressed even more, making it hard for them to enter Shenzhou.”
“However, they surely won’t sit idly by and watch Qin endure forever.” Guiguzi gazed into the void, thinking quietly.
As an Immortal,
he could see the Fortune mortals could not see.
“Zhao Feng.”
“Hope he can bring something different to the Land of the Divine Continent in the future. Otherwise, the Shenzhou Human Race’s Fortune will one day vanish as well.”
“It is only a matter of time before the Shenzhou Human Race is reduced to Blood Food.”
Guiguzi muttered to himself.
For him,
having enjoyed years of peace in Shenzhou—essentially taking refuge here—such tranquility, no struggle for Blood Food, no fear of being devoured by those Demon Immortals, Guiguzi felt deeply at ease.
If that day ever truly came, Guiguzi didn’t dare imagine the consequences.
Time slowly passed!
With Xiang Yan’s death, the last resistance of Chu also collapsed.
Chu State, perished!
In the following two months,
The Qin Army rapidly captured the cities of Chu.
Some surrendered their cities upon seeing Qin Army arrive, some maintained their Chu pride and fought the Qin Army to the death, finally being annihilated to the last man.
It could be said,
that in this war of annihilation, some died heroically, some surrendered in fear.
The full spectrum of human nature was on display.
Huainan City!
“Royal Edict of the King of Qin!”
“Lord Wu’an, Senior General Huan Yi, hear the decree.”
Ren Xiao personally came to deliver the royal edict, his voice resounding.
“Your subjects respectfully receive the decree!” Zhao Feng and Huan Yi replied in unison.
“The King of Qin issues the following edict—”
“Now that Chu is pacified,”
“it is ordered that the Hangu Pass Camp shall garrison the Chu Territory, clean up remnants of enemy forces, and eliminate hidden dangers within Chu.”
