Chapter 509: Cutting off the beard and discarding the robe
At this time, the luxurious atmosphere in the King Que's Mansion had been replaced by tension and anxiety.

The beautiful concubines and wives gathered together, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and rare antiques in the mansion were hastily packed up by King Que, ready to be used as capital for evacuation when necessary.

Under the order of the Sparrow King, people from all parts of the city took quick action.

Soldiers from various military camps in King Que City gathered together, and the common people, instigated by King Que's army, took up arms, ready to fight to the death with the Overlord Cavalry.

They took advantage of the complex terrain in the city and set up numerous obstacles, preparing to give the Overlord Cavalry a head-on blow.

Although they knew that this battle might not change the final outcome.

After Xiang Yu led the Overlord Cavalry into Quewang City, he found that the city was not conquered as easily as they had expected.

Instead, they encountered stiff resistance.

King Que took advantage of the complex terrain in the city and the assistance of the people to create considerable trouble for the Overlord Cavalry.

However, Xiang Yu didn't care about these.

The King of Sparrow doesn’t care about these people, so Xiang Yu naturally won’t care either!

He wielded the "Tianlong Breaking City Halberd" with his powerful energy as sharp as ink, invincible.

Under his leadership, the Overlord Cavalry raised their butcher knives against the civilians who were resisting in front of them with expressionless faces.

At this time, Quewang City was in a mess, war was raging, and the people were crying and shouting.

At this time, Xiang Yu was like a tiger descending from the mountain, riding first and charging straight into the formation where Lei Zhen, the general who was guarding King Que, was.

Seeing this, Lei Zhen roared angrily, and his whole body of energy burst out like the golden light of the sun. He held a giant axe in his hand and rushed forward, vowing to stop this arrogant enemy.

"Humph! You, a mere ant, dare to block my path to becoming the Overlord?"

Xiang Yu sneered and swung the Tianlong City-Breaking Halberd. The dark ink-colored energy surged like an ink sea and collided with the golden energy of thunder, causing a deafening sound, as if the heaven and earth also changed color.

The two energies intertwined, and above the battlefield, the wind and clouds changed rapidly and the air waves rolled.

Lei Zhen's face suddenly changed, and he felt an unprecedented pressure like a mountain pressing down on him, almost suffocating him.

He gritted his teeth, tried his best, and swung his axe as fast as lightning, trying to split the inky torrent.

"Humph, an ant trying to shake a tree!"

A cold smile appeared on Xiang Yu's lips, and the Tianlong City-Breaking Halberd suddenly accelerated. The dark ink-black energy seemed to turn into a black dragon, roaring and swallowing everything.

Lei Zhen only felt a black screen before his eyes and a thunderous roar in his ears, and then everything returned to silence.

When the strong energy dissipated, Lei Zhen was seen standing stiffly with his eyes wide open. There was a shocking crack on his chest and blood was gushing out. He was dead.

The power of the Overlord can be seen from this.

Xiang Yu remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the King of Sparrow.

When the King of Sparrows saw this, he knew something was wrong and immediately ordered his personal guards to escort him away from the danger.

However, was Xiang Yu someone who could be easily escaped by others?

His figure flashed, and he shuttled through the battlefield like a ghost, chasing after the Sparrow King.

"You scoundrels, do you also want to escape?"

Xiang Yu's voice was low, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

He swung his halberd and swept across. No one could stop him wherever he passed. His strong energy was as black as ink and was invincible. The King of Sparrow's guards fell one after another and no one could match him.

Xiang Yu kept waving the Tianlong City-Breaking Halberd in his hand, and the dark ink-colored energy condensed to the extreme, like a doomsday cloud, covering the sky and the sun.

"King of Sparrows, this is the end of your road!"

Xiang Yu's voice was cold, revealing an irresistible killing intent. At this time, the King of Sparrow was wearing a luxurious red robe, with long beard fluttering, and he was originally majestic, but at this moment he looked embarrassed, with fear and despair flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, there was a deafening cry of killing. It was the Overlord Cavalry coming from another avenue. They came like a tide with great momentum.

In the midst of this chaos, the Sparrow King suddenly heard a Tyrant Rider shouting, "The one wearing the red robe is the Sparrow King!"

This shout was like thunder exploding in King Que's ears. He knew something was wrong and immediately realized that his red robe had become an identification mark of the enemy.

King Que's heart tightened. He quickly glanced around and saw that many Overlord Cavalry around him were like wolves and tigers, closing in step by step.

He did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately took off his red robe to avoid being recognized by the Overlord Riders.

The red robe fluttered down like a withered red flower, swaying in the wind with its last splendor.

However, the crisis of the King of Sparrow was not resolved.

Not long after he took off his red robe, he heard Overlord Rider shout, "The one with the beard is the Sparrow King!"

This shout made King Que's heart instantly rise to his throat.

He was panicked and hurriedly drew the sword at his waist. The sword light flashed like lightning, reflecting his terrified face.

The Sparrow King pointed the blade at his long beard with trembling hands.

The long beard is a mark of his years and a symbol of his majesty.

However, at this moment, he had to give up reluctantly in order to have a chance of survival.

He closed his eyes tightly and swung the knife down fiercely. His long beard fluttered in the wind like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, taking away his last dignity.

A deep knife scar was left on King Que's face. Blood flowed down his cheek, dripping onto the battlefield, dyeing the land red.

Even so, the King of Sparrow still failed to escape the enemy's pursuit.

Someone in the army informed Long Qie, who was leading the Overlord Cavalry to charge left and right, about the King of Sparrow's beard cutting. Long Qie immediately saw through the King of Sparrow's disguise and plan.

He directly ordered the many Tyrant Riders around him to shout in unison: "The one with the short beard is the Sparrow King!"

This shout, like thunder, echoed over the battlefield, making King Sparrow even more frightened.

Upon hearing the news, the King of Sparrow became even more terrified.

He thought quickly and tore off a corner of the battle flag beside him. The battle flag was originally as bright as fire, but at this moment it became his last fig leaf.

He wrapped a corner of the battle flag around his chin, trying to escape from the Overlord Cavalry again.

However, the corners of the battle flag could not completely conceal his frightened face and embarrassed posture.

His eyes revealed endless despair and humiliation, like a beast trapped in a cage, waiting for the final judgment.

However, the King of Sparrow's action of cutting off his beard and abandoning his robe was not completely ineffective. At least it successfully delayed Xiang Yu, who was chasing him relentlessly from behind.

Although Xiang Yu behind had tried his best to pursue, the battlefield was now entangled with the soldiers and guards of the King of Que's Mansion, many civilians of the King of Que City, and the Overlord Cavalry, causing great chaos.

Although Xiang Yu could have killed those civilians, he swung his halberd without hesitation and eliminated all the people who blocked his way.

But we can't kill those Tyrant Riders, right?

In this chaotic situation, everyone could only watch as King Que gradually disappeared in the King Que's Palace under the protection of his personal guards.

At this time, Xiang Yu saw the King of Que fleeing in panic and soon disappeared deep into the huge King of Que's Palace.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, Xiang Yu was satisfied.

The gains from this surprise attack on Quewang City were beyond Xiang Yu's expectations.
