Time spares no one

The crowd in the mall suddenly seemed to receive something and hurriedly left. Then, a group of muscular strongmen wearing vests appeared, with huge iron plates protruding from their heads, clearly indicating that they were already tools.

"We're completely blocked off, our location is surrounded, and if we try to fly, we'll be attacked with full force."

Xiang Yu immediately began to analyze the situation, while Bai Mo turned to Xu Fu and asked:

Are there enough talismans?

"There are plenty of those simple things available."

"Alright, Kuaiji Type Zero, protect Ritsuka, and the others."

After saying that, Bai Mo rushed straight into the distance. The first strongman in the lead opened his big hand and lunged forward to grab him, but Bai Mo slightly turned his body and swatted him away, wiping his forehead with his hand.

The seal was instantly dispelled, and then Bai Mo's Magnetic Field Power, like a surgeon's scalpel, deftly removed the Dream Creator from his head and tossed it aside. After cutting it off, the power instantly healed the wound.

Bang bang bang, Bai Mo stepped directly into it, as if he were in an empty place, and one after another, the powerful people fell down.

Ritsuka behind him, wasn't idle either. She immediately got to work. She quickly helped Reines onto Xiang Yu's back and then asked:

"Strategist, there are too many people, and the surrounding magic is starting to surge. But I'm worried they might have a backup plan. Let's break this formation first, at least to prevent those guys from continuously pouring in."

"This is indeed quite a challenge, but this isn't a battle between soldiers anymore. Hegemon-King of Chu, Yu Mei-ren, we're counting on you to break through."

Under Reines ' command, Xiang Yu transformed into his previous six-armed humanoid form and galloped through the marketplace. Countless guards attacked from all directions, their angles so cunning that Xiang Yu felt he was facing an opponent of the Complete Realm.

However, these are merely mindless puppets that only know how to fight randomly.

It was like a bunch of shrimp organizing themselves to try and hunt a shark, and they were actually quite successful. Although they were unlikely to cause any damage, their offensive was greatly slowed down in order to protect Ritsuka and the others.

But the operation continued. Bai Mo kept eliminating his opponents without killing a single one, and the first floor of the mall was almost completely filled. He quickly freed his hands, and his fists flew everywhere, his Rapid Bullet Fist accurately hitting every Dream Creator.

In this short time, Bai Mo's senses had penetrated and understood this sophisticated instrument, probably because these people were equipped with inferior equipment, outdated versions.

However, as the number of people dwindled, there weren't enough people to organize the army.

"Well."

A soft sigh echoed from the sky, and the next moment, countless circuits appeared on the surrounding walls, distorting the entire space.

"A barrier, Miss Reines?"

"Too late, I need to gather intelligence before activating my Noble Phantasm. Tsk, Xu Fu, can you tell what this is?"

Ritsuka and the others were somewhat worried, but the next moment, a raging flame erupted, and the entire barrier turned into layers of ashes, like a piece of paper that had been set on fire. Hinako Akuta's eyes were fixed on Bai Mo and the Laevateinn in his hand.

"What... is this sword?"

Although it was not local and could not unleash its world-destroying power, its ability to influence the boundary was undeniable. Above, a sea of fire raged, and then, a person landed on the ground like a cannonball. It was a man wearing an old-fashioned Qin army helmet, and his body was somewhat overweight.

"Tsk, it still doesn't work. Trying to suppress a strong opponent with military strategy is still not an option."

The man dusted himself off, smiled, and looked at the group of people in front of him. He stood on a sky bridge connecting two paths. In front of him was Ritsuka, who was standing on Xiang Yu's back, and behind him was Bai Mo, who had suddenly appeared like a ghost.

"Kuaiji Type Zero, it's been a long time. Have you chosen a new master?"

"Han Xin, it has been 274 years since we last met. If you wish to communicate, please speak with the gentleman behind you, Mr. Bai Mo. If you wish to fight..."

Six gleaming blades were spread out, like a large net facing Han Xin.

"Oh dear, these are unfamiliar faces. I am Han Xin, the city lord of Bustling Metropolis in this region. Judging from your appearance, you are from the Great Qin. With such power, you choose to keep a low profile; it seems you are quite influential."

Bai Mo's strength had already been clearly seen from above. For such a powerful figure, walking in like this instead of flying directly into the capital of Blue Country on a missile was indeed a very low-key approach.

"It shouldn't concern you much. As one of the first soldiers to fight alongside the Qin Shi Huang, and also a prisoner, you shouldn't have any obligation to fight for the Blue Country."

"Do me a favor, give me access all the way to the capital, then you can go back and do whatever you want."

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Han Xin nodded.

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately, I cannot comply."

As Han Xin slowly raised his hand, the screens throughout the city glowed red, and an intense heat emanated from the Daichi. At the same time, seventy-two powerful individuals with modified bodies descended from the sky, their strength several times greater than the previous ones, and they stood in front of Bai Mo.

Bai Mo, Ritsuka, and others were quite puzzled by Han Xin's actions.

"Deep underground, there is an extremely powerful furnace core, which is expected to detonate in ten minutes. At that time, the entire Bustling Metropolis will be launched into the sky."

Kuaiji Type Zero was calculating rapidly when Ritsuka nearby, immediately questioned him:

Why are you doing this?

Han Xin turned to look at Ritsuka, or more accurately, at Xiang Yu beneath her, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Old friend, I only have one year left. Maybe it's nothing to you machines, but for me, it's a cycle of awakening, fighting, conquering, and sleeping. How long has this monotonous cycle in the Great Qin lasted? I can't even remember."

As a subject, I should be loyal, but now my lord is gone. Therefore, I have been living in a daze all this time. I am no longer a human being; my life has been filled with war and killing.

Han Xin raised his head, revealing a somewhat arrogant smile. Hearing this, Hinako Akuta's gaze flickered slightly; she knew all too well how much time could ravage a person.

She was still an elf, while Han Xin before her was a human being, endlessly repeating the cycle of conquest and slaughter, enough to drive anyone mad. And what's even more tragic is that the battlefield he had grown accustomed to could never return him to a life as a human being.

"If you want what you desire, then come and defeat me in war. Let me have my final satisfaction, gentlemen, let us fight! Humans are animals that fight from birth, animals that crave meat."

Let me die in the chaos of war, or let me blow up this city. At least I can slap that damned Western Emperor in the face before he ascends the throne, and at the same time open the gates of the Blue Country for the Qin.

Let the war reignite; that would be enough to satisfy my life's desires.

"This guy's gone insane. Has he been driven mad by time and battle? Let's give him a beating," Hinako Akuta said.

Reines frowned and asked Han Xin, "Although you relied on strength, you were already outmaneuvered tactically in the battle just now, weren't you?"

As a strategist, one should withdraw when the army is in disarray. The moment you're surrounded, you've already lost.

However, Han Xin simply smiled and shrugged.

"Haha, what kind of outdated military strategy is this? A strategist's job is to coordinate and command the army. How can you expect the troops to obey orders? If you can't single-handedly defeat the entire army, how can you be called a strategist?"

With a roar from Han Xin, 750,000 units of Magnetic Field Power surged forth, and his originally overweight body instantly sprang to a bulge. His fat melted away under the weight of his battle intent, and he resembled a world bodybuilding champion.

The armor shattered instantly, and grease Gilgamesh on his flesh.

Reines stared, completely stunned, as Han Xin, whose eyes had just been gleaming with wisdom, suddenly transformed into a two-meter-tall bodybuilding champion. She felt as if some strategist within her had witnessed an incomprehensible monster.

"Be careful. In my calculations, his martial arts skills are very strong, possibly no less than mine."

Kuaiji Type Zero warned warily, causing Reines and Ritsuka beside him, and even Bai Mo behind him, to twitch at the corners of their mouths. When Xiang Yu faced Han Xin, he said: This man's martial arts are no less than mine.

Why does this Chinese sound so unfamiliar?

"Bai Mo, you haven't killed a single person, which makes you seem like a benevolent person, but that's also your weakness. As for those two powerless fellows, I'll take them!"

Two fists against six knives—normally, there would be no suspense at all.

However, the truth is that Han Xin and Xiang Yu were evenly matched, and Han Xin even had a slight advantage. His boxing style was extremely unpredictable, with one fist being upright and powerful while the other was sinister and cunning, and the two worked together seamlessly.

Fist and blade collided, and then Han Xin used his body to withstand the simultaneous attack of six blades from the Kuaiji Type Zero. With a punch, he forced Xiang Yu back several steps.

"Haha, back when I lacked strength, I focused on training my body. Don't forget, back then my pectoral muscles directly shattered Lü Bu's halberd."

Old friend, His Majesty granted you the power to cultivate because of your loyalty, and now you are at the same level. It seems you are not as good as me! Behold the power of my self-created "Unorthodox and Orthodox Mutually Generating Fist" Fist!

Seeing this, Han Xin threw a punch, his center gate of the Kuaiji Type Zero wide open. Suddenly, an arm landed heavily on his straight punch, and at the same time, the force collided, blocking his unpredictable side punch as well.

Looking back, the seventy-two people who had blocked Bai Mo were now lying on the ground, their Dream Creator removed, just like before. Bai Mo was intercepting the attack with one hand, his other fist clenched, aimed directly at Han Xin's face.

Bai Mo unleashed a power equivalent to 750,000 horses, the same as that of Han Xin and Xiang Yu.

This guy is just being driven mad by time and war, but his inner reason refuses to succumb to his desires. Bai Mo doesn't intend to kill him with force, and he also needs Han Xin's connections in the Blue Country.

Unexpectedly, even such a short time couldn't buy him any time. Seeing Bai Mo charging towards him, Han Xin was shocked and prepared to take the hit before regrouping. However, looking at Bai Mo's clenched fist, a suffocating sense of oppression made him start to feel...

It seems my judgment was flawed.

Orca Tyrant Fist!

A surge of energy erupted, and Tyrant Fist landed on Han Xin's face. His head made a soft cracking sound, and Bai Mo clearly felt that his fist had entered Han Xin's brain.

With a thud, he flew out, crashing through several buildings before finally coming to a stop embedded in the distant Blue Country city wall.

Are you going to kill him?

"I misjudged the situation. Sorry. I should have tested the changes in strength with the Giant Shark first."
