Being blocked by the Chu army, Lin Ze could only watch as Xiang Ji fled back to the Chu army's formation.
However, this was not over yet. After Xiang Ji returned to the Chu army, his majestic grandmaster-level aura actually perfectly merged with the Chu army's military power, as naturally as a river flowing into the sea.
Immediately afterwards, the Chu army's strength, which was already as fierce as fire, more than doubled as if adding fuel to the fire.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Ze's face was a little uncertain. Is one plus one greater than two?
Inferring from this, the military master of the Chu army was not much different from Han Xin.
Before Lin Ze could speculate too much, Xiang Ji, who had received the help of the Chu army, rose into the air again and charged towards Lin Ze.
Xiang Ju, who was originally weakened by 30% of his strength due to negative magic, felt that he had never been as powerful as he is now. Fan Zengya's father was indeed an extraordinary person, and this time he wanted to avenge his shame.
Seeing Xiang Ji approaching with overwhelming momentum, Lin Ze did not choose to leave immediately. Instead, he grabbed the sword tightly and struck it down hard.
At the same time, the simple "Book of Songs" slowly unfolded above Lin Ze's head, and countless white lights naturally fell down, protecting Lin Ze within it.
He wanted to try out how strong Xiang Ji was with the bonus of an army.
The swords and halberds intersected, Xiang Ji remained motionless, and Lin Ze was thrown away like a cannonball.
Nearly 30% of the white light emitted by the Book of Songs was wiped out in an instant, and the rest was shocked and boiled for a long time before recovering.
Is it only 1.8 times?
Lin Ze carefully tasted the attacks he suffered and came up with a rough value.
Then he took a look at the distance between Xiang Ji and the Chu army. It was about three miles. Is distance the main factor affecting the bonus?
In order to test this idea, after Lin Ze stabilized his body, he flew towards the Chu army again and stopped five miles away from the Chu army.
Xiang Ji, who had just knocked Lin Ze away, had no time to feel happy. Seeing Lin Ze come back safe and sound, his eyes turned red and he rushed over suddenly.
The swords and halberds clashed again, and Lin Ze was knocked back again, but this time the white light emitted by the "Book of Songs" was only wiped out by about 10%.
1.5 times.
Lin Ze allowed his body to glide uncontrollably in the air for a while. When he got the answer, Lin Ze did not feel any joy at all. Instead, he came to a conclusion with a solemn face: With equal strength, he absolutely cannot face Xiang Ji who led the army to attack head-on.
In that state, Xiang Ji's combat power is estimated to be 2.5 times his own. If he resists forcefully, he will die.
Lin Ze's mind couldn't help but pictured the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, and Xiang Ji leading his army to defeat Liu Ji.
On the battlefield, the status of military strategists suddenly rose to more than one level.
I just wonder if Han Xin knows this secret skill?
Lin Ze, who was a little confused, went to Hangu Pass without looking at Xiang Ji and Chu Jun.
Lin Ze's attitude, in Xiang Ji's eyes, was simply contempt.
"Yafu, can the army keep moving?" Xiang Yu, floating in the air, asked Fan Zeng with a look of reluctance.
Fan Zeng took in Xiang Ji's expression, and then looked at Lin Ze's leaving figure. He didn't know what Xiang Ji was thinking.
"The army can move, but the movement speed of the army is limited. Even with the bonus of military strength, it cannot catch up with a master-level expert," Fan Zeng said with a wry smile.
Xiang Ji suddenly fell into silence, feeling that his body was bound by the influence of unknown energy. Finally, he gritted his teeth and glanced at Lin Ze before falling back to the Chu army's formation.
Without the support of a large army, Xiang Ji fell into a plot and asked himself whether he was Lin Ze's opponent.
What's more, although Xiang Ji couldn't confirm the realm of the person who plotted against him, he was almost certain that he was definitely a master-level warrior.
Faced with this situation, Xiang Ji, who originally thought that his martial arts skills had greatly improved and could sweep across the Qin Kingdom, inevitably felt a bit of gloom.
"Yafu, the raid on Hangu Pass failed, what should we do next?" A somewhat upset Xiang Ji put his hope in his newly recognized Yafu.
Fan Zeng couldn't help stroking his beard and said: "Since Qin's master has arrived, my lord cannot break the pass by force. If we force the pass, the losses of the Chu army will be immeasurable."
"For the current plan, we can only find a place to camp, wait for the armies of the six countries to join our army, and then discuss the matter of attacking Hangu Pass."
There was a trace of hesitation on Xiang Ji's face: "But I have boasted in front of the six countries before, saying that the Chu country will try its best to break the barrier. If you stand still, it will inevitably attract criticism."
Of course Xiang Ji knew that now was not the time to attack Hangu Pass. The question was how to face the doubts of the six countries?
Ordering the Six Kingdoms was only the first step for Xiang Ji to dominate the world. If the Six Kingdoms doubted his ability, how could the subsequent plans be carried out?
Fan Zeng said indifferently: "My lord is acting, why do you need to explain to others? Now the alliance only has one grandmaster, my lord. If the six countries want to fight against Qin, they have to rely on my lord."
"If the six countries do not understand the current affairs, my lord can withdraw and let them experience the methods of the champion prince of Qin."
Xiang Ji frowned: "Wouldn't this be an advantage to Qin? If Qin is allowed to destroy other countries, sooner or later Chu will not be able to escape. How can Chu stay out of the situation and be alone?"
Fan Zeng laughed and said: "My lord, don't worry. Now the strength of the Qin State is greatly reduced, and the only person who can fight is the Champion of Qin. He alone cannot destroy the six kingdoms and defend the land in Guanzhong at the same time."
"If he dares to lead an army deep into the land of Guandong, the lord can lead an army to surprise Chang'an. One for one, this result must be something that the champion does not want to see."
"My lord doesn't even have to do this. As long as the news is spread, he won't be able to take care of the beginning and the end. He will never act rashly."
Xiang Ji's expression was slightly unnatural: "In this case, Lin Ze will definitely be the first to attack the Chu State. I'm afraid Yafu's plan will not work."
Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "No, based on my understanding of this champion, he will not take this risk. Otherwise, after he defeated Chu State and joined forces with Liu Ji, he would not have stopped because Chang'an was in danger."
"My lord, if the attack on Qin fails this time, don't think about attacking Qin for a short time. First expand the territory of Chu and dominate Guandong."
A look of astonishment appeared on Xiang Ji's face: "Why is this?"
Fan Zeng said solemnly: "The tiger of Qin has long lost its sharp teeth and claws, but its power is still there, and cats and dogs can bully it at will."
"If the lord wants to kill the tiger, he must first become stronger than the tiger. The land of Guandong is the material for the lord to grow stronger."
Xiang Ji hesitated and said: "But Guandong is where the six countries are. If we rashly expand the territory, wouldn't we be attacking our former allies?"
Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Ji with a smile on his face. No matter how strong the hesitation on his face, the burning look in his eyes could not deceive anyone.
Just listen to Fan Zeng's categorical statement: "Qin has lost its deer, and the whole world is chasing it. Is it possible that my lord is too timid to take it?"
"How can there be any Six Kingdoms in the world today? All we have is a broken Qin Kingdom. First there was Chen She in Yangcheng, and now Liu Ji in Pei County. Who of these people are nobles of the Six Kingdoms?"
"Even though my lord is a noble of the Chu Kingdom, he is not the royal family of the Chu Kingdom after all. Could it be that my lord wants to surrender the kingdom of the Xiang family to the Xiong family?"
Xiang Ji didn't say anything for a long time after hearing this. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "How is that possible?"
