Wei Zhuang

Watching Zi Nu's Crimson Silk Soft Sword grow even faster, Zhao Zilong retreated again while assessing her strength.

Zi Nu was also growing more shocked as they fought. The young man before her was simply too fast; her attacks could only strike his afterimages.

The next second, Zhao Zilong dodged Zi Nu's attack and appeared at her side. Startled by his ghostly speed, Zi Nu hastily controlled the Crimson Silk Soft Sword and struck at Zhao Zilong again.

But this time, Zhao Zilong reached out and seized Zi Nu's delicate wrist. A teasing smile curled across his lips. "Is this all the strength you have?"

Zi Nu's eyes flashed with anger. She struck back with a palm, but Zhao Zilong gave a disdainful smile and easily deflected it. Then, with a backhanded motion, he removed Zi Nu's hairpin as the two passed each other.

Soon, without the restraint of the hairpin, Zi Nu's waterfall of long purple hair spilled down. She looked at Zhao Zilong with shame and anger in her eyes, but she had also calmed down and understood the gap between them. If he had wanted to kill her, she would have had almost no chance to fight back.

Zhao Zilong toyed with the hairpin in his hand and admired her. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looking closely, you seem even prettier like this. Why tie your hair up? Isn't this better?"

"Clap, clap, clap..." At that moment, Han Fei suddenly applauded from the side and praised, "Brother, what fine martial arts you possess! May I ask your honored name?"

Zi Nu looked rather displeased and spat lightly, "Han Fei, I lost. Are you that happy about it?"

Han Fei was immediately embarrassed by that. Zhao Zilong ignored him, set the hairpin on the table, and looked up at the second floor. "You've watched for so long. Are you not planning to come out? Or do you want me to come up and find you myself?"

Seeing Zhao Zilong ignore him, Han Fei became even more embarrassed. At that moment, Wei Zhuang stepped out as well, looking down at Zhao Zilong from above. He said coldly, "Who are you? I don't seem to remember knowing you."

Zhao Zilong smiled faintly. "Indeed, I don't know you either. I merely know of you. Just as I said earlier, I only wanted to use you to test my strength. You are a rather good unit of measurement."

"Although after exchanging blows with Zi Nu, I could roughly guess what level your strength is at, I still decided to try it myself."

That was right. After fighting Zi Nu just now, Zhao Zilong had roughly understood where her strength stood. Measured in Soul Power, Zi Nu was about at the level of a Soul King. Of course, this world had no Soul Power; it was merely Zhao Zilong's rough judgment based on Zi Nu's abilities.

After all, whether in Douluo Continent or The Legend of Qin, the combat strength of ordinary soldiers was about the same. In Douluo Continent, a well-trained soldier could rival a Soul Grandmaster or even a Soul Elder.

Although the world of The Legend of Qin was a martial arts world, its combat power was exceptionally high even among such worlds. Just like how Gai Nie, while dragging along the deadweight Tianming, could still slaughter three hundred elite Qin State soldiers.

"Hmph..." Hearing this, Wei Zhuang snorted coldly and leaped down from the second floor.

Han Fei was very interested as well. He knew Wei Zhuang's strength very clearly. This purple-haired young man had completely overwhelmed Zi Nu, which meant his martial arts could probably contend with Wei Zhuang's.

Zi Nu stepped forward and said, "Wait. If you want to fight, go outside. If anything gets broken here, who will pay for it?"

Wei Zhuang did not refuse. He looked at Zhao Zilong, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "I know a place. Follow me."

"Don't!" Han Fei was unwilling to let such a good show, a duel between two masters, slip away before his eyes. "Brother Wei Zhuang, and this brother, how about I treat everyone to a drink today? And even if you want to fight, there's no need to change locations, is there?"

"If something gets broken, will you pay for it?" Zi Nu rolled her eyes at Han Fei.

Han Fei looked at the furnishings around him. Even the tables, chairs, and benches were extremely expensive. He coughed awkwardly. "We can move these things aside."

"Hmph. Boring. Follow me!" With that, Wei Zhuang headed for the main entrance first, then increased his speed.

Zhao Zilong followed behind him. Zi Nu was also rather curious about Zhao Zilong and Wei Zhuang's duel. From her exchange with Zhao Zilong just now, she could clearly sense that he had not used his full strength at all. She too wanted to know just how strong the two of them were, so she immediately followed.

Han Fei immediately pulled Zhang Liang along and said, "Zifang, let's go watch too."

However, Wei Zhuang, who was in front, clearly had no intention of waiting for Han Fei and the others. He immediately used his lightness skill to leap onto the rooftops, and Zhao Zilong followed without hesitation.

Zi Nu gave a charming smile. "Young master, I think it would be best if you didn't go." With that, she immediately followed as well.

"Why are you all in such a hurry? You're even using lightness skills to travel." Han Fei sounded rather aggrieved. He immediately climbed into a carriage and ordered, "Go quickly. Follow them."

As they traveled, Wei Zhuang glanced back at Zhao Zilong from the corner of his eye. When Zhao Zilong had fought Zi Nu earlier, Wei Zhuang had already realized that his lightness skill was highly advanced. He had just tested him and found it to be true. Whenever Wei Zhuang accelerated, Zhao Zilong accelerated as well. Even after Wei Zhuang had raised his speed to the limit, Zhao Zilong still looked completely at ease. This made Wei Zhuang extremely displeased.

Zi Nu, who was at the very back, was having a rather miserable time. Whether in martial arts or lightness skills, she was no match for Wei Zhuang. Zhao Zilong could easily keep up with Wei Zhuang's pace, but she was struggling to follow. Honestly, why are they running so fast?

Before long, Wei Zhuang led Zhao Zilong to a cold palace. The surroundings were nothing but ruined walls and broken debris, as though the place had been destroyed long ago.

"So, this is the place?" Zhao Zilong watched Wei Zhuang stop ahead of him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Wei Zhuang turned around. Seeing that Zhao Zilong was not even panting, he regarded him more highly and said seriously, "You are very strong. State your name."

Zhao Zilong did not hide it and gave his full name. "Zhao Zilong."

"Zhao Zilong? I'll remember that." Wei Zhuang drew his Shark Tooth sword. A wisp of orange sword energy coiled around its blade as he said coldly, "Since you came to challenge me, then come! Where is your weapon?"
