Afang Palace exploded. Everyone who had already withdrawn beyond the Qin Royal Palace was stunned by the blast shooting into the sky like fireworks.
"W-what did Big Brother and Second Brother do!?" Zi Juan had been taking stock of the supplies in Xianyang when she suddenly heard the explosion behind her. Turning around, she saw the fiery blast dim the sky itself. Billowing black smoke had already stained the heavens over all of Xianyang.
"Third Brother!" Zi Juan did not dare delay. She handed her work over to Wei Hao, one of her subordinates, and went to find Xiang Jing.
"Fourth Sister, are Big Brother and Second Brother still inside?" Xiang Jing had been looking for Zi Juan as well, and the moment he found her, he asked anxiously.
Zi Juan looked at Xiang Jing, then at Afang Palace, which was still exploding. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Third Brother, let's go!"
"Yeah!" Firelight reflected in Xiang Jing's single eye, revealing nothing but anxiety as he rushed toward the Qin Royal Palace alongside Zi Juan.
Xiang Yu and Xiang An had not arranged for anyone to guard the Qin Royal Palace. They had come here to destroy it, so there was no point in defending it. The supplies within had already been moved out as well.
"Big Brother—Second Brother—!!!" They charged into the Qin Royal Palace without meeting the slightest obstruction, and Xiang Jing and Zi Juan immediately began calling out anxiously.
They had absolute confidence in Xiang Yu and Xiang An's strength, but an explosion on this scale was countless times more violent than the explosions Yi Ke had been able to cause. Even Xiang Yu and Xiang An probably could not emerge completely unscathed from a blast of this magnitude.
"Oh, why are you two here?"
Xiang Jing
