"Catch them all in one fell swoop?" Ying Yuan sneered, "How can you guarantee that?"

"I can guarantee it with my life." Donghuang Taiyi said in a firm tone.

Ying Yuan looked at Dong Huang Tai Yi, his heart still full of doubts. He didn't know whether what Dong Huang Tai Yi said was true or false, nor did he know what his purpose was.

"Your Majesty," Donghuang Taiyi spoke again, "Time is running out, you must make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Qin Empire will be in danger."

Ying Yuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that he had to make a choice, and he had to do it as soon as possible.

"Okay," Ying Yuan finally spoke, "I believe you."

Donghuang Taiyi showed a barely perceptible smile on his face, "Your Majesty, you made the right choice."

"What do I need to do?" Ying Yuan asked.

"Your Majesty, all you need to do is wait," Donghuang Taiyi said, "wait for the right time, and then wipe out the remaining evildoers of the six kingdoms."

Ying Yuan nodded, and he looked at Donghuang Taiyi, his heart full of expectation and uneasiness. He knew that a bigger storm was coming.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the room. A guard ran in in a panic, knelt down in front of Ying Yuan, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! General Zhang Han sent an urgent report saying that Xiang Yu, the remnant of the Chu State, led a large army to break through Hangu Pass and is heading towards Xianyang!"

Ying Yuan's face changed drastically when he heard this. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the guard by the collar, and shouted angrily: "What did you say?! Hangu Pass was breached?!"

The guard was so frightened that he was shaking all over. Ying Yuan grabbed his collar tightly and he could hardly breathe. "It's absolutely true! General Zhang Han's pigeon letter is outside the door. Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Ying Yuan threw away the guards, strode to the palace gate, and snatched the letter from the guards. After reading it quickly, his face turned pale and he crumpled the letter into a ball. Hangu Pass, the last barrier of the Qin Dynasty, was actually breached by Xiang Yu! This means that Xiang Yu's army may arrive at the gates of Xianyang at any time!

"How can this be!" Ying Yuan roared, and threw the paper ball in his hand to the ground fiercely, "How dare you, Xiang Yu, be so bold!"

Donghuang Taiyi remained calm. He said slowly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Now that things have come to this, anger will not help. The most urgent task is to come up with a response plan as soon as possible."

Ying Yuan took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in his heart. He looked at Donghuang Taiyi and asked in a deep voice: "In your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Donghuang Taiyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have already arranged everything. As long as your Majesty gives the order, Xiang Yu and his followers will be captured in one fell swoop."

Ying Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Oh? What's your trick?"

Donghuang Taiyi leaned close to Ying Yuan's ear and whispered a few words. After Ying Yuan heard it, he frowned at first, then a sneer gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Ying Yuan said in a deep voice, "I want to see what this little Xiang Yu is capable of!"

……

Outside Xianyang City, flags covered the sky and shouts of killing shook the heavens. Xiang Yu, wearing black armor and holding the Overlord Spear, led the Chu army to rush towards Xianyang City like a tide.

On the tower, Ying Yuan, wearing a dragon robe, stood with his hands behind his back, looking sternly at the enemy troops below the city. Beside him, Donghuang Taiyi looked calm, as if everything was under his control.

"Your Majesty, Xiang Yu's army has arrived at the city. Should we order the arrows to be shot?" General Wang Ben stepped forward and asked.

Ying Yuan waved his hand, "No hurry, I want to let Xiang Yu have a taste of my power!"

After saying that, Ying Yuan took out a black chess piece from his sleeve and threw it gently towards the city.

The chess piece drew a strange arc in the air and fell into the Chu army's formation.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the ground shook violently, and a powerful energy wave swept across. A huge deep pit instantly appeared in the Chu army's formation, and countless soldiers were blown to pieces.

Xiang Yu's face changed drastically when he saw this. He didn't expect Ying Yuan to have such a powerful trump card.

"What is this?!" Xiang Yu exclaimed. Ying Yuan on the tower sneered, "Xiang Yu, this is the secret technique of the Yin-Yang School - Star Soul Detonation! Today, I will use it to send you off!"

After saying that, Ying Yuan took out another black chess piece and threw it towards the city.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions sounded, huge deep pits appeared one after another in the Chu army's formation, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was in chaos.

Xiang Yu watched his soldiers fall one by one, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness. He howled to the sky, brandished the Overlord Spear, and rushed towards Xianyang City.

"Ying Yuan! Come and accept your death!"

……

There was chaos in Xianyang City. People were running around, crying, shouting, and cursing.

"Your Majesty, the city gate is about to be breached! Let's retreat first!" General Wang Ben persuaded anxiously.

Ying Yuan shook his head, "How can I abandon the city and flee! Pass on my order, all soldiers, swear to defend Xianyang to the death!"

"Your Majesty! No!" General Wang Ben wanted to persuade him again but was interrupted by Ying Yuan.

"No need to say more! I have made up my mind!"

At this moment, a guard ran in in a panic, knelt down in front of Ying Yuan, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! In the palace... in the palace..."

"What happened in the palace?!" Ying Yuan asked sternly.

The guard was so frightened that he trembled all over and dared not speak.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Ying Yuan roared.

The guard trembled and said, "A group of men in black appeared in the palace...they...they are slaughtering the palace maids and eunuchs..."

Ying Yuan's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He finally understood Donghuang Taiyi's true purpose.

Donghuang Taiyi didn't want to help him deal with Xiang Yu at all, but wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize the Qin Dynasty!

"Donghuang Taiyi! You are so brave!" Ying Yuan roared, drew the sword from his waist, and stabbed towards Donghuang Taiyi.

Donghuang Taiyi was prepared. He dodged Ying Yuan's attack with a flash of his body.

"Your Majesty, you are still too young after all." Donghuang Taiyi sneered and said, "This world belongs to me after all!"

After saying that, Donghuang Taiyi waved his sleeves, and a powerful force blew Ying Yuan away.

Ying Yuan fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood. He struggled to get up, but found that he was no longer able to fight.

Donghuang Taiyi walked towards Ying Yuan step by step, with greed flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, just go with peace of mind. I will enjoy your kingdom and your beauty."

Donghuang Taiyi raised the Yin-Yang Sword in his hand and pointed it at Ying Yuan's throat...

The Yin-Yang Sword in Donghuang Taiyi's hand stopped an inch in front of Ying Yuan's throat. His face was not as proud as expected, but full of solemnity, and even a hint of imperceptible fear.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Ying Yuan's mouth. He smiled weakly and said with his last bit of strength: "Donghuang Taiyi, do you think... you really won?" (End of this chapter)
