373: Chapter 373: The Spirit of Self-Sacrifice 373: Chapter 373: The Spirit of Self-Sacrifice Zhuge Tian, seeing Xiang Yu’s hesitation, quickly struck while the iron was hot in hopes of winning him over.
He was different from the others; he understood Xiang Yu’s rise from an unknown commoner to his current status in just one year’s ti.
Xiang Yu’s capabilities were evident, and having such a person on his side would be a significant combat force.
Zhuge Tian always regarded himself as exceptionally clever—convincing Xiang Yu without spilling blood would naturally be best.
“If you join forces with Big Brother, I can guarantee that you’ll receive training like never before and have greater prospects,” Zhuge Tian tempted.
In reality, this was Zhuge Tian’s deception; once Xiang Yu joined, leaving would not be so easy.
“Who is your Big Brother?” Xiang Yu quickly asked.
Observing Xiang Yu’s expression, Zhuge Tian replied with a mysterious smile, “I can’t tell you that now.
Just join us and he will naturally co to et you.
How about it?” Zhuge Tian said.
Xiang Yu thought for a mont, then furrowed his brow and said, “I can join you, but I will only take orders from your boss and be bound by no one else.”
Zhuge Tian imdiately nodded, “Of course.
With your abilities, it’s only by following the boss that you can fully unleash your potential.”
“Who is he?” Xiang Yu continued to press.
In fact, all this talk of joining them was just Xiang Yu giving them the runaround.
He had co to rescue his brother, not to acknowledge a new Big Brother.
Zhuge Tian, known for his wisdom and intelligence, naturally wasn’t fooled by Xiang Yu’s words.
He looked at Xiang Yu with a secretive smile and said, “No need to rush about who he is.
Just stay here comfortably for a few days, and you’ll naturally et him when the boss arrives.”
After speaking, Zhuge Tian waved his hand toward a few n.
They approached and tied up Xiang Yu before leading him away.
The cave was large, as if they had hollowed out the entire hill.
It had all necessary equipnt, including sothing similar to a prison.
Xiang Yu was tied up and locked in a small room, while Wu Jing was held in another.
“Brother Yu, how did you get brought here too?” Suddenly, Wu Jing saw Xiang Yu and shouted.
With his body bound, Xiang Yu struggled to stand.
Seeing Wu Jing was in another small room without any life-threatening danger, he was reassured.
However, seeing bloodstains all over his body, it appeared he had been beaten badly.
“Brother Yu, I’m sorry, I didn’t complete the mission,” Wu Jing said with so dismay.
“Don’t bla yourself; they were too cunning,” Xiang Yu said while surveying the surroundings.
He hadn’t expected that they had already set up an ambush for him.
In fact, they weren’t specifically waiting for him but knew that there would surely be multiple groups trying to rescue Zhong Huashan, which is why they had set up an ambush.
Or rather, the capture of Zhong Huashan and spreading the news might have been deliberately done by them.
Then using Zhong Huashan as bait, they lured all his loyal brothers here, aiming to capture them all in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn’t help but be secretly astounded; Zhuge Tian truly was no ordinary man.
When he first went to eliminate Qian iduo’s remnants, he suddenly had a feeling of danger, which must have co from this man.
What a pity Zhuge Tian chose this path; had he taken the right one, his achievents in this life would surely have been noteworthy.
“Brother Yu, how did you get caught?” Wu Jing asked, looking quite guilty.
“I ca to save you,” Xiang Yu replied calmly.
Just as he finished his words, soone suddenly laughed from one of the small rooms nearby.
The laughter was filled with mockery, as if Xiang Yu was telling so huge joke.
“Caught is caught, why pretend it’s a rescue?
Isn’t that shaful?” The person followed up with another cold laugh, as if Xiang Yu was a hypocrite.
Xiang Yu couldn’t be bothered with him, the kind of person who has no skills yet thinks everyone else is a fool.
Xiang Yu looked around and then called out loudly, “Mr Zhong, are you there?
If you’re in here, give a sign.
I’ve been sent by the lady to rescue you.”
Xiang Yu’s call was t with silence, as if no such person was there.
Seeing that Xiang Yu was completely ignoring him, the man in the adjacent room grew even more sarcastic, “You can barely save yourself yet you co to save others?
How stupid can you be?
People like you should be locked in such a sunless place forever so you have nowhere to boast.”
Xiang Yu didn’t want to listen to the guy prattling on, and suddenly, sothing resembling a small razor blade appeared in his mouth.
He skillfully cut the ropes binding him, picked up a small stone from the floor, and hurled it at the man, hitting him square in the mouth and shattering a tooth, leaving the man with a mouthful of blood.
Xiang Yu’s movents were fast, taking only about two minutes from cutting the ropes to hitting the man.
“You better keep quiet, or I’ll take your life,” Xiang Yu warned the man coldly.
The man, nursing his mouth and whimpering in pain, glared at Xiang Yu with cold eyes.
He then picked up a small stone and threw it hard at Xiang Yu, but his aim was dreadful, missing Xiang Yu with several throws.
“You don’t accept this?” Xiang Yu, watching the man’s relentless attempts, finally turned to face him and said.
“I accept your mother, if I don’t smash you to death today, I’ll…”
But before he could finish his sentence, another stone ca flying at his mouth.
The stone was so fast that the man couldn’t dodge it and it went straight into his mouth.
Fortunately, Xiang Yu controlled his strength, not intending to kill the man.
Otherwise, the small stone could have broken his throat and ended his life.
The man continued to point viciously at Xiang Yu, unable to speak.
Seeing that the man still wouldn’t submit, Xiang Yu hit him with another stone in the face, knocking out several more of his teeth.
It was only then that the man realized what kind of existence Xiang Yu was, and scared, he hid in the corner, daring not to move or glare at Xiang Yu anymore.
He finally understood that formidable people are formidable no matter where they are.
Seeing that the man had finally quieted down, Xiang Yu looked outside, intending to continue asking about Zhong Huashan’s whereabouts.
“Your skills are not bad,” at this mont, soone suddenly spoke up from the other side of Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu didn’t want to pay attention to these people.
He glanced inadvertently at the man, who sat indifferently, around twenty years old, with handso features.
He sat on the ground leaned against the corner of the wall, face void of any expression.
From the man’s every action and the coordination of his body, it was clear he was not simple.
Xiang Yu felt a similarity with Yuan Huai, that sense of indifference to everything, as if nothing mattered to him.
“Why are you locked up here?” Xiang Yu turned to ask the man.
“Nowhere to go.
It’s quite nice here with soone taking care of food and shelter,” the man replied calmly.
The people around began to grow unsettled, just when Xiang Yu had co in acting tough claiming to be on a rescue mission, and now another man appeared who seed even more arrogant, as if he wasn’t captured but had co in voluntarily…
