Chapter 12491

The aura immediately intensified, the lion's fury causing everyone to tremble with fear.

Those with slightly lower tolerance actually fainted on the spot.

The executioners and axemen assigned here were all highly skilled individuals handpicked by Zhang Fengxiao!

Suppressing his shock, Zhang Fengxiao immediately stood up and pointed at Fan Kuai.

"A minor unpleasant incident just occurred. Xiang Bo intervened to smooth things over, but was killed by this brute in the chaos. I request that you, General, execute him!"

Chen made everyone realize what was happening and they all accused Zhong Wuqi, who was playing Fan Kuai.

"Please, General, execute him!"

Shout out to kill Zhentian.

Zhong Wuqi pointed at himself, looking completely bewildered: "Me?"

He found it utterly unbelievable.

In this situation, using such a low-level frame-up, a simple question would reveal a whole host of flaws.

Is it really worth it to pull these kinds of dirty tricks?

Is this all the strategist's second son is capable of in scheming?

Lin Yi, however, reacted first and quickly called out, "Get out of the way!"

It's a pity it's too late.

Xiang Yu casually grabbed a short halberd and threw it directly at Zhong Wuqi's face.

A series of sharp, whistling sounds echoed throughout the military camp.

Zhong Wuqi instinctively wanted to stop him. With his current strength, which surpasses all others at the five-zhang level, he should theoretically have the power to fight back.

However, no.

One strike was all it took; Zhong Wuqi's Dharma form immediately collapsed, and he was eliminated on the spot.

There was now a corpse of Fan Kuai inside the military tent.

There was a deathly silence.

Zhang Fengxiao looked at Lin Yi with undisguised mockery in his eyes.

His plan does seem crude at first glance, and some people might even think it's childish.

But only true masters of this art can appreciate its subtleties.

There is no distinction between high and low strategies; the only difference is whether they are useful or not.

To deal with a decisive and ruthless man like Xiang Yu, any elaborate and ingenious plan is nothing but wishful thinking.

Providing the strongest stimulus in the shortest amount of time is the right approach!
The death of Xiang Bo was an excellent catalyst.

At this point, no reasoning or argumentation is needed; as long as everyone speaks with one voice, the overlord will naturally take the bait.

As for what happens after that, that's a matter for later.

The overall situation is settled, and even if a mess is left behind, it doesn't matter to Zhang Fengxiao.

Moreover, given his status as Xiang Yu's adoptive father, it wouldn't be difficult for him to appease Xiang Yu.

After all, this person is known for being easily swayed.

Given how much Xiang Yu valued Xiang Bo, killing only Fan Kuai was far from enough to vent his hatred.

His gaze then immediately fell upon Liu Bang.

From any perspective, Fan Kuai was at best a tool, and the real culprit was, and could only be, Liu Bang, the master.

This is exactly the result Zhang Fengxiao wanted.

Only by eliminating Liu Bang can he officially win, and only then will the entire special track game truly come to an end.

However, he still underestimated the abilities of Liu Bang, this human succubus.

After a deeply moving performance, even the tense atmosphere managed to ease somewhat.

But it's not enough to turn the tide.

Zhang Fengxiao stepped forward to add insult to injury: "No matter how nice your words are, it was ultimately your men who killed Xiang Bo, and everyone witnessed this. As for your motives, they are no longer important. Someone must step forward and apologize!"

For a moment, the crowd was filled with excitement.

The murderous aura emanating from Xiang Yu grew even stronger.

In the end, what kind of person was Fan Kuai that he was worthy of fighting his uncle to the death?
"Wait a minute."

Lin Yi finally spoke, pointing to Xiang Bo's corpse: "Before the general makes a decision, perhaps we should first see what Xiang Bo left behind."

Xiang Yu frowned: "What does this mean?"

However, Zhang Liang, played by Lin Yi, is not just some insignificant roadside figure; he still holds considerable weight in Lin Yi's eyes.

At Xiang Yu's signal, someone immediately stepped forward to search him.

Zhang Fengxiao stared coldly at Lin Yi, and immediately had a bad feeling.

Everything was under his control today. Although he mainly had an absolute home-court advantage, the opponent, the Emperor of Termination, was a bit too quiet.

It now appears that the real killer move is yet to come.

If the Emperor of the End were really so easy to deal with, why had he suffered repeated setbacks before?
Even so, Zhang Fengxiao remained firmly in his position, undefeated.

Soon, a piece of cloth was found in Xiang Bo's bosom.

There are five characters written on it.

"Fan Zeng was the one who killed me?"

Upon hearing Xiang Yu's words, Zhang Fengxiao was immediately jolted, and for the first time, shock flashed in his eyes.

Throughout the entire Hongmen Banquet, Zhang Qing'an remained present and never left his sight.

In other words, Zhang Qing'an had already written these five pieces from the very beginning; he had long anticipated that he would become a discarded pawn!

How can it be?

Zhang Fengxiao knew perfectly well just how capable his cousin was.

Compared to other second-generation members of aristocratic families, he is considered law-abiding and his talent is passable, but he certainly doesn't have that kind of courage!

The only explanation is that someone was instigating all of this behind the scenes.

Zhang Fengxiao suddenly looked at Lin Yi.

Looking across the entire Tianjun, he considered himself the person who understood this End Emperor the most, without exception.

He had long seen through all the methods of this Emperor of Termination, and especially with such a huge home advantage this time, it was impossible for him to escape his control again.

However, it seems now that he was thinking too superficially.

"It is indeed my uncle's handwriting."

Xiang Yu coldly looked at Zhang Fengxiao: "Uncle, do you want to explain yourself?"

Zhang Fengxiao remained calm: "No need for explanation. All the soldiers present know the truth of the matter perfectly well."

"As for how those words came about, I have no idea and no interest in knowing. It's just that someone used some underhanded tactics."

"Not worth refuting."

Lin Yi gave this person a deep look.

In this situation, his dismissive attitude is precisely the most correct one.

Once caught in the self-proof trap, one's side has room to maneuver. Even if they can't completely turn the tide, they can at least use the doubts to evade the current deadly situation.

Putting everything else aside, at least Liu Bang still had a chance to escape.

Looking at the present, while this opportunity is not entirely nonexistent, it has at least been compressed to its limit by Zhang Fengxiao.

The military tent fell silent for a moment.

Given Xiang Yu's ruthless and decisive nature, he never hesitated to kill anyone. If anyone else had said those words, they would probably be dead by now.

But Zhang Fengxiao is playing Fan Zeng at this moment, who is his adoptive father!
Fortunately, Liu Bang was no pushover either. He immediately seized on the suspicious points and launched into another tearful and dramatic performance.

For a moment, this unparalleled overlord in the head coach position was overwhelmed with headache.

Ultimately, Xiang Yu made his decision.

"No matter how much you say, it's all nonsense! Since you say there are doubts, it would be too unfair to kill you like this, so I'll give you a chance."

Xiang Yu's aura surged once again: "Lord Pei, whether you fight yourself or have someone else take your place, as long as you can hold out against me for half an incense stick's time, I will let you go today."
