Capítulo 19: Chapter 19 Son of Emperor Chi
A sudden thought crossed his mind, and Jiang Chen concealed his aura, before cautiously making his way towards the battle zone.
He had only walked a few steps when the battling figures entered his sight.
They were two powerful men, one wielding a long sword, and the other brandishing a halberd, engaged in intense combat.
The man with the long sword had a high forehead, a high, straight nose, and his face greatly resembled a dragon's countenance. Most likely, this was Liu Bang.
In later generations, the description "dragon countenance" was used to describe the face of an emperor, originating from Liu Bang.
Because Liu Bang was the dragon countenance.
Rounded, with a dragon countenance, was how the historical records described Liu Bang's appearance.
Liu Bang was extraordinary, but the person fighting against him was even more so. Standing eight feet tall, with a formidable stature and robust face, he held an Overlord Halberd, exuding a dominance that could suppress the world.
Especially his eyes, they were particularly attention-grabbing. Each eye was born with two pupils, overlapping, a natural anomaly.
Duplicated pupils!
With naturally duplicated pupils, this person must be Xiang Yu.
Just like Emperor Shun, Xiang Yu was born with duplicated pupils.
This was a sign of a sage!
Of course, that was what they said in Jiang Chen's previous life. In this world, duplicated pupils undoubtedly represented an even more remarkable power, embodying some sort of mysterious force.
"Who's there?"
Just as Jiang Chen was thinking, Xiang Yu suddenly roared. Swinging his halberd, he headed straight for where Jiang Chen was hiding.
"Not good, he's discovered me."
Seeing this, it was clear to Jiang Chen what had happened. His duplication eye must have the ability to see through the illusion of his concealment, allowing Xiang Yu to detect his whereabouts.
Now that he had been discovered, Jiang Chen saw no need to continue hiding. He walked straight out from the shadows, meeting the figure of Xiang Yu who was charging towards him with his halberd.
"Haha!"
"You're doing great!"
Laughing loudly, Jiang Chen drew out his Sun Staff and swung it directly at the incoming Xiang Yu.
A loud crash rang out!
The staff and halberd clashed, and both men retreated.
"You scoundrel, you've got quite the strength!" retreating to his initial position, feeling the numbness spreading from his arms, Xiang Yu's face turned grave.
For many years, within the human race, no one had been able to match him solely based on strength.
Even Liu Bang, without the aid of his Divine Sword, would certainly not be his match.
But this man who suddenly appeared before him was able to force him to retreat. This unquestionably showed that this man's strength was no less than his own.
Just for this point alone, Xiang Yu had to regard him seriously.
"You're not bad yourself!"
Suppressing the discomfort coming from his arm, Jiang Chen replied without an expression. If you didn't know, you would have thought he was the one with the upper hand.
In reality, Jiang Chen had been at a disadvantage. The moment they exchanged blows, he had felt that Xiang Yu was a full realm higher than him, a complete Yang God, a person on the verge of achieving transcendence.
If it were not for his mighty Ancient Martial Arts, that one strike from Xiang Yu would have killed him instead of what turned out to be a stalemate.
Even so, while he might be weaker than his opponent, he absolutely needed to overpower him in terms of presence.
...
As Jiang Chen and Xiang Yu watched each other warily, Liu Bang suddenly asked, "May I ask where you come from, friend?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Chen glanced at him and said, "Jiang Chen from the Jiang Family."
There was no need for him to hide his origins. The Jiang family was not a force involved in shady affairs. On the contrary, the Jiang family had a significant reputation among the human race.
After all, the Earth Emperor Shennong was still alive!
Declaring his association with the Jiang Family was enough to rid Jiang Chen of many troubles.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bang's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately exclaimed, "Are you from the Jiang Family of the Jiang River?"
After saying this, he stared intently at Jiang Chen, waiting for his response.
Xiang Yu, on the other hand, was also firmly staring at Jiang Chen.
Apparently, both of them were aware of the Jiang Family.
Jiang Chen nodded and confirmed the answer they didn't want to hear, "That's right!"
Instantly, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's faces turned extremely unpleasant.
People like them, who aspired to rule the world, feared offending an ancient royal family like the Jiang family the most. That's because the influence they held among the human race was immense. One wrong move could shake the foundation of the dynasty.
...
......
"Haha," Laughing out loud to mask his previous reaction, Liu Bang regained his composure. A smile reappeared on his face as he addressed Jiang Chen, "So it turns out that you are the son of the ancient Jiang family. I apologize for my earlier rudeness."
Similarly, on the other end, Xiang Yu managed to fabricate a smile, reluctantly nodded at Jiang Chen, acknowledging his presence.
The reputation of the Jiang Family is really handy? Seeing their reactions, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed like he had underestimated the influence of the Jiang family.
If he were to use the Jiang family's name now, would he be able to gather an army directly and compete with these two for the world?
For a moment,
Jiang Chen's thoughts ran wild.
But soon after, he discarded such impractical illusions.
The best time to vie for supremacy had passed, and the current situation had stabilized. For him to join the fray at this point, apart from causing more chaos in the world, would serve no other purpose.
The people were already suffering enough, so he decided against stirring the pot.
...
"So it turns out that you two are the renowned King of Chu, Xiang Yu, and king of Han, Liu Bang. I was wondering who on earth could possess such a demeanour. I didn't expect it to be the two of you."
Jiang Chen greeted them with a bow and said. He used flattery so smoothly, as if it was second nature to him.
"Haha, Liu Bang is but a country bumpkin. I can't compare to Young Master Jiang's noble lineage." Liu Bang modestly waved his hand.
"Heh!"
"If the son of Emperor Chi could also be considered a country bumpkin, then what would we be considered as? Barbarians?"
Before Jiang Chen could respond, Xiang Yu coldly interjected, "Son of Emperor Chi!"
On hearing this, Jiang Chen's pupils contracted sharply.
In his former life, there were rumors that Liu Bang was the reincarnation of the son of Emperor Chi, but no one believed it. However, in this world, it could very well be true.
As this thought crossed his mind, Jiang Chen glanced at the long sword in Liu Bang's hand. He hadn't noticed it before, but on closer inspection, he noticed something unusual.
Although the long sword was sheathed, one could faintly see its chilling radiance and the Innate Dao aura surrounding it.
Upon further inspection, one could see the minutiae patterns on the exposed part of the sword, as if they were naturally inscribed on the blade.
That was the mark of an Innate Spiritual Treasure!
The long sword in Liu Bang's hand was indeed an Innate Divine Sword.
PS: It feels like nobody's reading this book. I made such a big mistake, yet no one pointed it out.
