People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

If the two were to fight to the death, even he would not dare to easily stop them. If things went wrong, he would face their combined attack and die on the spot.

"Spanning all directions!"

"Heavenly Will - Soul Severing!"

Sword energy crisscrossed and scattered, and suddenly a golden light shone brightly.

Zi Nu's heart skipped a beat. "No!"

"boom--"

Amidst the billowing dust, a small golden figure shattered the combined swordplay of Wei Zhuang and Jing Ke.

Damn! Cao Ze coughed several times.

"Are you all out of your minds?!"

Jing Ke gripped the bladeless hilt of the sword and scratched his head: "I got carried away."

His sword path differs from Wei Zhuang's. His final move targets the soul. If things go wrong, even if Wei Zhuang doesn't die, his soul will be injured. And soul injuries are the most difficult to heal. Once severely injured, Wei Zhuang's sword path will come to an end, and he will never be able to reach the level of a grandmaster.

Of course, even when he goes all out, he will be seriously injured by Wei Zhuang's all-around attack, ultimately resulting in a lose-lose situation.

Wei Zhuang glared angrily at the little golden statue of Cao Ze, gripping his Shark Tooth Sword tightly, wishing he could slash at it.

"Don't you understand the rules of swordsmen?"

Cao Ze glanced at his clothes, which had been torn by the sword energy, and asked somewhat dejectedly, "What rules?"

"Sword duels are open to outsiders, but not to their interference!"

Wei Zhuang said, word by word, "If you obstruct me, then consider it a challenge!"

Cao Ze blinked and looked at Jing Ke, "Brother Jing Ke, is this true?"

Jing Ke nodded: "There is indeed such a rule."

"Well, my sword is broken, so I won't fight you anymore." Jing Ke readily threw away the hilt of his sword, thinking that when he returned to the Mo family, he would have to get a famous sword from Master Xu to play with. It was too annoying to always have a broken sword.

Cao Ze looked at Uncle Wei, who was suppressing his anger, and said, "Alright, then I'll challenge you."

Wei Zhuang sneered when he saw Cao Ze openly challenge him.

That's amazing, they actually challenged him.

He had long been unhappy with Cao Ze's secret relationship with Zi Nu and his abduction of his capable assistant. He challenged Cao Ze today, did he really think Cao Ze wouldn't dare to use force?

Zi Nu couldn't help but say, "Wei Zhuang, Cao Ze, stop fighting."

Wei Zhuang ignored him and said to Cao Ze indifferently, "Overestimating yourself, you need to be taught a lesson."

Did they really think that by using trickery to prevent him from dueling with Jing Ke, they would be qualified to fight him?

Cao Ze didn't feel any ill will towards Wei Zhuang, who was arrogant and looked down on most people, but he also didn't find him funny. He preferred to tease them.

"Brother Wei Zhuang..."

"Ok?"

Have you ever lost?

……

Chapter 282 Please give my sister some face!

Wei Zhuang subconsciously recalled the scenes of him and his senior brother studying in Guigu Valley of Yunmeng Marsh.

He and his senior brother had their share of wins and losses, so there was no real sense of victory or defeat.

Since he came down from the mountain and started his career, no one has been able to defeat him, yet he still asked him in such an arrogant tone if he had ever been defeated.

"You are arrogant."

Wei Zhuang commented on Cao Ze in the tone of someone in a high position.

Cao Ze said, "It's just the two of us."

"Hmph!" Wei Zhuang drew his Shark Tooth Sword again. "I'd like to see if your strength is as convincing as your words."

Even if he believes that Cao Ze is no match for him in terms of strength, he will still give Cao Ze the respect he deserves—go all out!

Han Fei, with a gossipy attitude, said carelessly, "Brother Wei Zhuang is going to be in trouble."

He suffered too many losses and fell into too many traps at Cao Ze's hands, and he learned a lesson: when this guy says he wants to do something, he can probably do it, just like when his beloved Azure Coral Bottle was taken away by this guy.

Jing Ke wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "I think so too."

Back when Cao Ze was only a second-rate cultivator, he could force him to use his full strength to secure a victory. Now that Cao Ze is at the same level, unless he uses the Heavenly Will Sword, it will be difficult for him to gain an advantage.

Yan Dan began to reassess Cao Ze's abilities.

Based on his understanding of Xiao Ke, if Cao Ze were not strong enough, Xiao Ke would not have praised Cao Ze like that, even if they were friends.

Zi Nu's beautiful eyes swept over Cao Ze. She had never seen Cao Ze fight at full strength. Could Cao Ze really be that strong, even stronger than Wei Zhuang?

Her Purple Orchid Pavilion was able to gain a foothold in Xinzheng not only because Wei Zhuang was a disciple of Ghost Valley, but also because of Wei Zhuang's strength. The essence of this world is still that strength is paramount.

Cao Ze loosened his muscles and bones. Challenging Wei Zhuang was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but he was not afraid.

No matter how strong Wei Zhuang is, can he be stronger than his wife?

He can defeat Jing Ni, so why would he be afraid of this pretentious guy?

Calling him Second Uncle is a way of reminiscing about my younger self watching Qin's Time, and also a way of teasing the director of the Quicksand Zoo.

It's a pity that Second Uncle isn't wearing his golden long johns right now, otherwise he would definitely have said something like, "Brother Wei Zhuang, tear off your battle robe, reveal your golden long johns, and enter your ultimate state!"

Wei Zhuang remained motionless and said arrogantly, "You make the first move."

As a strongman, his pride prevented him from taking the initiative to attack the weak in a fair duel.

Cao Ze smiled faintly and said, "You are very arrogant."

Wei Zhuang glanced at Cao Ze sideways, "What you should be arrogant about is your strength, not your words."

Cao Ze suddenly understood why Uncle Wei was always getting beaten up and chased around back then; it was just too intense.

"Wow—"

Cao Ze's right hand was covered in black lightning, and his voice was sharp, like a thousand birds singing in unison.

At the same time, dense Yin Five Thunder power filled the courtyard, gradually encroaching on Wei Zhuang.

"This move is called Northern Azure Pool."

Cao Ze disappeared from the spot, his voice echoing around, "The Northern Border is the extreme; the Azure Pool is the deepest."

Wei Zhuang said calmly, "That's it?"

Wei Zhuang was surrounded by sword energy imbued with sword intent, which directly blocked Cao Ze's invasion of the Northern Azure Pool.

Suddenly, dark arcs of lightning flashed in the courtyard, then filled the entire courtyard.

"Wandering Earthworm Thunder - Five Thunderbolts Strike!"

With the help of the Northern Azure Pool and the assistance of the Wandering Earthworm Thunder, their combined power is doubled.

Dozens of worm-like thunderbolts, like pythons, slammed into Wei Zhuang in the courtyard.

Wei Zhuang's expression changed slightly, and he instantly unleashed more than a dozen domineering sword energies.

After smashing some of the wriggling mines, he barely managed to dodge and avoid injury.

"I admit, I underestimated you."

Wei Zhuang remained defiant: "Now, it's my turn to make a move!"

"Horizontal Sword Technique - Sweeping Across All Directions!"

Jing Ke clicked his tongue and said, "It seems like there is only one move, but in the instant it is released, four variations occur, each of which is as fast as lightning and disappears in the blink of an eye."

Han Fei said regretfully, "We should have swept across all directions and gone all out."

In his view, the right thing to do was to use all his strength and hack Cao Ze to death with a flurry of blows.

Yan Dan shook his head slightly: "The power of Horizontal Sweep is immense and its variations are even more unpredictable. However, Cao Ze has now turned the field into his own and is using Horizontal Sweep with all his might. If it fails, Cao Ze will easily find a weakness and deliver a fatal blow."

Zi Nuzhen nodded slightly. Sword techniques are not necessarily better the stronger they are. As a qualified swordsman, the way to victory is to seize every opportunity and use the sword techniques that are most advantageous to oneself.

Cao Ze released his spiritual perception and suddenly jumped up to dodge Wei Zhuang's sword.

Wei Zhuang's lips twitched slightly, and the hand holding the sword instantly changed from the yang hand to the yin hand.

The sword in his hand, wielded with a backhand motion, slashed towards Cao Ze's chest like a wind blade.

Cao Ze, suspended in mid-air, unable to turn or twist, unleashed a powerful "Palm Thunder" attack, clashing with Wei Zhuangqiang's.

Wei Zhuang, having gained the upper hand, showed no mercy and beheaded his opponent with his sword.

Cao Ze dodged to the side, and Wei Zhuang instantly turned around and delivered a side kick.

"Thunder Hand Blade!"

Cao Ze's arm was filled with dark Yin Wu Lei. He used his hand as a knife and struck Wei Zhuang's calf from the inside out.

"boom--"

The two men each took a few steps back.

Wei Zhuang frowned slightly. He had thought Cao Ze was only good at talking, but he hadn't expected that Cao Ze's combat awareness was no weaker than his own.

His calf was affected by the power of Yin Five Thunders, and it was slightly numb, which greatly affected his speed.

Cao Ze dusted himself off and laughed, "Brother Wei Zhuang, if you don't take this seriously, you'll miss your chance."

He hasn't used the Golden Light Mantra yet; he's simply using the Yin Five Thunder Technique to fight Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly and thrust his sword straight forward.

Cao Ze withdrew and retreated, avoiding the Shark Tooth Sword, and tried to grab Wei Zhuang's wrist with one hand.

With his other hand, Wei Zhuang channeled his energy and struck Cao Ze's temple, attacking the enemy in order to save himself.

Cao Ze slightly opened his mouth and spat out a Thunderclap, blocking Wei Zhuang's killing move.

Wei Zhuang's expression changed. He hadn't expected Cao Ze to spit out a bolt of dark lightning, which struck Cao Ze's hand and instantly made it numb.
