The Lone Walker

Chen Fan looked at the unruly Xiang Yu at this time, sighed slightly, and said:

"You will be a hero in life, and you will be a hero in death.

I still miss Xiang Yu, who refused to cross the Yangtze River."

Others felt nothing when they heard these lines of poetry, but to Yi Xiaochuan it was like a bolt from the blue, stirring up a storm in his heart. At this moment, after hearing these conversations, he already believed that he had traveled through time.

Xiang Liang was well-read in poetry and military strategy. When he heard this poem, he felt that the immortal's words were quite meaningful.

"What do you mean, Immortal?" Xiang Yu continued.

"Liu Lu, I will protect these people. If the First Emperor asks about it, you can put the blame on me." Chen Fan did not respond to Xiang Yu, but said to the executioner.

Then, Chen Fan mobilized his mental power and led Xiang Yu and his companions, as well as Yi Xiaochuan and their horses, into the air. The horses were frightened and cried out, but under Chen Fan's control, they could not escape. After struggling for a while, they let nature take its course.

……

Chen Fan led everyone down slowly to an unnamed mountain stream a hundred miles away from the execution ground. Everyone was still a little shocked. At this time, Xiang Liang pulled Xiang Yu to his knees and said, "Thank you for saving my life, immortal. Your great kindness will be unforgettable to my Xiang family."

"You don't have to be so polite. It's just a piece of cake for me. Mr. Xiang, you are too kind." Chen Fan said with a smile.

"Immortal, I wonder what the deep meaning of the poem you chanted on the execution ground just now is. I hope you can teach me." Xiang Yu witnessed Chen Fan's great power at this time, and his words were much more respectful.

"Ah, alas, alas, I know this, I know. It is said that in ancient times, there was a general with the same name as you. His rebellion failed, and the brothers and sisters, relatives and friends he recruited from his hometown were all killed. He was too embarrassed to go back to his hometown to meet his relatives and friends, so he drew his sword and committed suicide in the Wujiang River. Later generations commented that he was a hero in life and a ghost hero in death. Right."

Just when Chen Fan didn't know how to answer Xiang Yu, Yi Xiaochuan hurried out and explained to Xiang Yu with a grin, then winked at Chen Fan and said.

"Uh. Yes. This brother is right. This is exactly what I meant." Chen Fan said.

"Well, this general is truly a hero. I hate to meet him. It is really a great regret in my life. Otherwise, I will definitely become brothers with him and have a drink with him. Hahahahahahaha." Xiang Yu nodded repeatedly when he heard this, empathizing with him and spoke with righteousness.

"Immortal, my uncle and I are committed to overthrowing the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. However, the enemy's army is large in number and powerful, and we brothers have suffered heavy casualties. I hope the immortal can give us some guidance." Xiang Liang suddenly said at this time.

Chen Fan saw that he couldn't shirk his responsibility, so he could only pretend to calculate and said in a heavy tone, "The time has not come yet, so there is no way to know. However, I observed the sky at night and found that the Emperor's Star was dim. I am afraid that within ten years, the First Emperor will die... You two should keep a low profile and wait for the right time."

"Well, that's all. It only means that the tyrannical Qin Dynasty is not yet doomed. We still have to be as careful as possible." Xiang Liang sighed when he heard this.

……

Kuaiji County is located in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province today. During the Qin Dynasty, Kuaiji County was one of the important cities in the Wuyue region and also a political, economic and cultural center.

According to historical records, Kuaiji County has a superior geographical location. It is located in the plain area of ​​the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The land is fertile and the products are abundant, which is suitable for the development of agriculture and commerce.

At the same time, Kuaiji County also has convenient water transportation, which can lead to various places in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Kuaiji County became a prosperous city in the Qin Dynasty with a large population, active business, and developed culture, and was known as the "Famous County in the Southeast".

Those who have read the original novel know that Xiang Liang and his group came to seek refuge with Fan Zeng, a famous military strategist and counselor in history, who lived in the State of Wei during the Warring States Period. Now that the State of Qin has wiped out the six kingdoms, this great sage is also sleeping on straw and tasting gall, serving as the lieutenant of Kuaiji County.

Fan Zeng was famous for his strategies and superb military talents, and he won many victories for the State of Wei.

His most famous achievement was the Battle of Maling, in which he successfully threw the Qin army into chaos by using the strategy of "reducing the number of stoves to lure the enemy", thus achieving victory. This should not be underestimated.

Chen Fan, who had just traveled through time, had nothing to do, so he agreed to Xiang Liang's repeated requests and went with them. Fortunately, there were no pursuers along the way, and with the presence of the immortal Chen Fan, everyone had some rare time to relax.

However, along the way, Yi Xiaochuan kept asking Chen Fan indirectly, trying to make him admit that he had also traveled through time. He kept chattering along the way, making Chen Fan miserable. If Chen Fan had not needed this man's help to get the elixir of life, he would have killed him long ago.

However, Xiang Liang still accepted Yi Xiaochuan as his apprentice just like in the original novel. Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh at the ability of the plot to be revised.

"Master, we will soon reach my uncle's place. When the time comes, you must teach me that magical martial art." Xiang Yu said respectfully to Chen Fan.

Yes, after thinking for a while along the way, Chen Fan decided to help Xiang Yu improve his martial arts. At first, Xiang Yu felt that the immortals' lofty magic was not suitable for him. However, when Chen Fan used his Vajra Indestructible Magical Skill to turn a thousand-year-old tree into powder from hundreds of meters away, he became itchy and took the initiative to become his disciple.

This made Yi Xiaochuan who was standing by extremely envious, but Chen Fan simply ignored him, so he could only settle for the next best thing and become Xiang Liang's disciple.

At this time, Qin Shi Huang, who was far away in Xianyang, heard the scouts report that an immortal had come to the world, and immediately ordered all prefectures and counties to search for the immortal...

……

In a hidden room in Fan Zeng's mansion in Kuaiji County, Chen Fan sat cross-legged and practiced his skills slowly.

On that day, he used the power-absorbing technique to absorb Zhu Wushi's internal energy. Although he used his supreme mental power to temporarily store this huge amount of internal energy in his limbs and bones, he had been busy for a while and had no time to practice. Now he could finally take a breath and use it for himself.

As Chen Fan practiced his skills, the spiritual energy in the Xuantian Secret Realm in his sea of ​​consciousness was directly absorbed by Chen Fan through the white portal. Because of his practice, a layer of blood scabs appeared on the surface of his body, emitting a foul odor. Under his mental observation, he could see that earth-shaking changes had already taken place in his body.

I saw that the Qi sea in the Dantian was filled, and as time passed, the true Qi was transformed into liquid, and then condensed into a golden sphere. From then on, Chen Fan, like Cao Zhengchun, reached the realm of golden elixir in martial arts.

"Huh, fortunately I have the spiritual energy of the secret realm to bless me, otherwise I don't know when I can break through." Chen Fan opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

At this time, Chen Fan's mental power was already able to lift things weighing thousands of tons, comparable to the first-level planetary powerhouses in the Devouring Starry Sky. Coupled with his level of martial arts golden elixir, he was able to compete with the third-level planetary powerhouses. His progress was rapid.
