Xiang Yu knew that all of this was just an illusion. He forced himself to stand up, shook his head, and said, "Captain, I failed to protect you all, but I swear I will protect my brothers now. You are already gone."
Blocking out the thoughts in his mind, the chaotic scene before Xiang Yu reappeared. The tranquil image of birds singing and flowers blooming vanished completely with his shifting thoughts.
He forced himself to stand and walked into the fourth hall. Inside, the place was filled with smoke, and parts of the ceiling had already collapsed.
Xiang Yu moved through each location systematically, finally reaching the best spot in the center, where Tie Zhuzi was lying on the ground.
Beside Tie Zhuzi was the old man, both of them frozen in position, gripping the hand of the same young woman.
Summoning his strength, Xiang Yu moved toward them, grabbing them both by the arms and dragging them toward the exit.
