    Chapter 57 Those who offend the mighty Han will surely be crushed, no matter how far they are. September 1st, Seoul World Cup Stadium. In the locker room, the air seemed frozen. Gao Hongbo was making final arrangements, his voice hoarse, but every word was like a stone hitting the ground. "... Contract, play counter-attack. Watch Ye Xun's runs in the middle, and pass accurately on the wings." All eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, swept over Ye Xun in the corner. He was tying his shoelaces, very slowly and carefully. Left foot, right foot, tighten, tie a knot. After tying, he straightened up and stepped on the grass. The unfamiliar hardness, carrying the chill of an away game, and a faint hostility. He looked up at the small national flag in the center of the locker room. Then, he was the first to stand up and walk towards the door. In the tunnel, the lights were pale. The South Korean team was already lined up, all in red, like a burning fire. They were tall and strong, their eyes carrying the undisguised arrogance unique to the host country and a top Asian team. Ye Xun walked to the front of the line, three meters away from the South Korean captain, Ki Sung-yueng. Ki Sung-yueng glanced at him, his gaze lingering on his face for a moment before a barely perceptible smile curved his lips and he looked away. It wasn't contempt; it was utter indifference. As if this team, this person, wasn't even worth a second glance. Light poured in from the end of the tunnel, mingling with the thunderous, synchronized chants of Korean cheers. The sound was thick and heavy, carrying the absolute pressure of home advantage, crashing against the tunnel walls like a tidal wave. Ye Xun took a deep breath, inhaling the sea of red and the deafening roar into his lungs. The instant he stepped out of the tunnel and onto the grass of the Seoul World Cup Stadium— Clang! Deep within his mind, the ancient, dark gold scroll trembled violently. More intensely than ever before. On the scroll, crimson battle intent and dark, murderous aura intertwined wildly, finally condensing into several lines of chilling characters exuding the aura of an ancient expedition: [Conquest Order: "Eastern Hunt"] [In the past, a powerful neighbor repeatedly invaded our borders. Now, their troops are arrayed "south of the Han River," their banners obscuring the sun, their arrogance rampant.] [Now, we appoint "The King-Slayer" Ye Xun as the vanguard.] [Objective: "Slay the General," directly crush the enemy's core (Ki Chengyong).] [To display the might of our great China, those who openly offend the mighty Han, no matter how far, will be crushed!] [This is the beginning of "renown throughout the eight wastelands," and also a battle to temper your Dao heart.] The characters were like blood, like a branding iron, fiercely searing into the soul. There were no requirements for victory or defeat, only one objective: slay the general. Sever the hardest bone in the enemy's formation, that banner. [Note: This battle is perilous; the enemy's strength is at its peak. If successful, your fame will spread far and wide, and the essence of shadow will be obtained.] If defeated, his Dao heart would be thwarted, and his luck in subsequent battles would wane. [Here he goes, he may return with the enemy general's head, or he may die on the battlefield.] The ancient scroll closed. But the ten characters "Those who openly offend the mighty Han, though far away, will surely be crushed," and the final phrase "die on the battlefield," were like two red-hot daggers, piercing Ye Xun's heart, burning, searing, and bringing with them a near-destructive fighting spirit. This was not a ball game. It was a national war. It was a decapitation strike. The target was clear: Qi Chengyong. The purpose was clear: to display his might. He raised his head, his gaze piercing half the field, locking onto the South Korean captain in the red jersey, talking to his teammates. Memories of his past life surged. The suffocation of "fear of Korea," the sighs of the dark nights, the countless unwilling nights spent at the keyboard—all turned into cold fuel, flowing into his limbs. He slowly clenched his fist. His knuckles turned white. Then he released it. His eyes had completely transformed into a sniper scope, coldly focused on its prey. "Beep!" The referee's whistle blew. The first match of the 2018 World Cup Asian Qualifiers, Round of 12. China, away, against South Korea. Decapitation, triumph, begins. From the start, the South Korean team was like a red-hot machine, roaring into action. High pressing, fast-paced passing, physical confrontation. Every aspect was far superior to the Chinese team. Ye Xun in the attacking third was like a caged beast. He dropped back, and Ki Sung-yueng immediately closed him down, elbowing him in the waist, kneeing him in the leg, his small moves ruthless and precise. With every confrontation, Ki Sung-yueng told him with his body: This is my territory. In the third minute, the South Korean team had their first threatening attack. The fast winger Lee Chung-yong outmaneuvered the Chinese full-back and crossed from the byline. In the middle, Asian superstar Son Heung-min made a ghostly run forward, outmuscled Feng Xiaoting, and headed the ball towards the goal. Slightly wide. "Wow!" The entire stadium erupted in a huge sigh, followed by even louder applause. "Keep your mark! Don't let anyone slip through!" Captain Zheng Zhi roared from the backfield, his voice already a little hoarse. In the fifth minute, Ye Xun managed his first pass back, backing down Ki Sung-yueng. Just as he received the ball, Ki Sung-yueng and Koo Ja-cheol double-teamed him, using both hands and feet. The ball was lost. South Korea countered, passing the ball three times before moving forward. Son Heung-min unleashed a long-range shot from outside the box, but Zeng Cheng saved it out for a corner. In the first ten minutes, South Korea had 72% possession and four shots, while China had zero. They were completely pinned down in their own half. A sea of red rose from the stands, the Korean cheers deafening. The shouts of Chinese fans were completely drowned out. "This won't do!" Commentator He Wei's voice tightened. "They can't even get past the halfway line! Ye Xun is completely marked by Ki Sung-yueng!" The domestic live stream chat was filled with lamentations: [They're being completely dominated] [Ki Sung-yueng is too tough, Master Ye can't get past him] [The fear of South Korea is flaring up] In the fifteenth minute, South Korea launched another attack. Ki Sung-yueng's precise through ball from midfield pierced the Chinese defense. Son Heung-min broke the offside trap and had a one-on-one opportunity. "One-on-one! Son Heung-min!" Zeng Cheng rushed out of his goal. Son Heung-min's shot towards the far corner was brilliantly saved by Zeng Cheng with his foot. "Zeng Cheng! Well done!" But the ball didn't roll far. On the left side of the penalty area, South Korean striker Hwang Hee-chan arrived in time to tap the ball into the empty net. At the last second, Zhang Linpeng made a diving sliding tackle, clearing the ball off the goal line. "Zhang Linpeng! Goal-line clearance! China escaped another disaster!" Still shaken. The Chinese goal was under siege. Ye Xun looked at his teammates' shaken faces in the backfield, then glanced at Ki Sung-yueng, who was directing his teammates to press forward. A decisive victory. Triumph. He took a deep breath, his [eyesight] fully activated. His vision focused, locking onto Ki Sung-yueng. He observed every habit of his: when defending, he liked to turn sideways, with his left foot forward and his right foot trailing behind to protect. As he turned, his center of gravity shifted to the left. He preferred to intercept just before the opponent touched the ball. He was waiting. Waiting for an opportunity that wasn't really an opportunity. In the 23rd minute, the opportunity arrived—a ball that, to everyone else, seemed like no opportunity at all. Feng Xiaoting, cornered by Son Heung-min in the backfield, blindfolded himself and unleashed a long ball down the left flank. The pass was rushed, high and erratic, its landing point unclear, heading straight for the sideline. It looked like a meaningless clearance. But Ye Xun moved. The instant Feng Xiaoting kicked, his [eyesight] had already caught the ball's trajectory and landing area. Simultaneously, he glanced at the position of South Korean right-back Lee Yong; he was watching the ball, his body slightly tucked in, ready to wait for it to go out of bounds. Now! Ye Xun poured all the power of his [body movement] and [ghost step] into his first few steps. Like a blue lightning bolt tearing through the rain, he lunged at the ball that was "about to go out of bounds." Li Rong reacted, cursed under his breath, and rushed over. The two collided fiercely near the sideline. Li Rong tried to use his shoulder to push Ye Xun away. But Ye Xun's [eyesight] had already seen through the direction of his force and the shift in his center of gravity. At the moment of impact, he used the force to turn lightly, firmly protecting the ball with his back, while subtly flicking it with his heel. The ball slipped between Li Rong's legs. Through his legs, man and ball separated. "Ye Xun! He's past him! On the wing!" He Wei's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief. Ye Xun brushed past Li Rong and dribbled the ball rapidly along the wing. There was a wide open space in front of him, but Wu Lei and Hao Junmin in the middle were tightly marked by the South Korean defenders. There were no passing lanes. Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly stopped and cut inside near the corner of the penalty area. The one who came to cover was Ki Sung-yueng. He moved laterally into position, like a wall of sighs blocking the way, his eyes cold, his arms outstretched, sealing off all possible angles for passing and dribbling. His defensive stance was perfect, his experience seasoned. "You can't get past him," Ki Sung-yueng said in English, his voice deep and filled with absolute confidence. Ye Xun remained silent. He slowed down, looked up, and glanced at the goal. About twenty-five meters, the angle was very small. To everyone else, this wasn't a shooting opportunity. He should pass back, he should wait for a teammate. But Ye Xun's "eyesight" calculated in a flash. Goalkeeper Kim Seung-kyu was positioned to the left, blocking the upper right corner. Ki Sung-yueng's blocking stance had his right leg forward and his left leg trailing behind, creating a tiny, fleeting gap between them for balance. The ball had to graze his leg, drop, and slip into the bottom right corner. Success rate? Unknown. But this was the only route to directly penetrate the "Ki Sung-yueng" wall. At the instant Ki Sung-yueng pressed forward to block and exerted force with his right leg, Ye Xun swung his right leg. Not a pass, not a dribble, but a shot. The inside of his right foot, taut, curled a ball with a strong spin. The ball lifted off the ground, spinning rapidly, tracing a bizarre arc, barely grazing the outside of Ki Sung-yueng's raised right leg as he tried to block it. With a sharp drop, it suddenly changed direction in front of the goal, heading straight for the bottom right corner. Kim Seung-gyu's view was blocked by Ki Sung-yueng, and by the time he saw the ball, it was too late. He desperately lunged to the side, his fingertips barely touching the ball. But the ball's power and spin were too strong; despite the slight change in direction, it still resolutely struck the net. Whoosh. Goal! "Goal! Ye Xun! A world-class goal! Facing Ki Sung-yueng's defense, in a position where it was practically no chance, he forced a shot! Goal! China leads South Korea 1-0 away!" He Wei's roar completely shattered, instantly igniting countless screens across the country. "A direct challenge! A forced breakthrough! Ye Xun turned a throw-in that wasn't a chance into a fatal blow that tore apart the South Korean defense! A ghost descends upon the Seoul World Cup Stadium!" After scoring, Ye Xun didn't sprint. He stood still, raising his right hand, his index finger pointing straight to the sky. Then, he turned to face the massive, instantly silent red stands, his gaze piercing through the crowd, landing precisely and coldly on Ki Sung-yong's face. He slowly moved his finger to his lips. A hiss. Silence, yet more piercing and insulting than the boos of 80,000 people. The entire Seoul World Cup Stadium fell into a frozen, suffocating silence. Ki Sung-yong stood there, watching the ball in the goal, then abruptly turned to look at Ye Xun. The coldness and indifference on his face shattered completely, replaced by a stunned and furious shock of being blatantly humiliated. His fists clenched tightly at his sides, trembling slightly. Ye Xun withdrew his gaze, expressionless, and ran back to the center circle. In his mind, the words "Slay the General" on the battle order shone brightly.
