“Kill anyone? What a boastful tone. Give him a knife.” Wang Han ordered a soldier, then pointed at Zhou Qi and said, “Can you kill him? If you can, I will avenge you.”
Upon hearing this, the young man knew there was hope. He immediately stood up, picked up his sword, and said to Zhou Qi, "General Zhou Qi, I apologize." He then drew his sword and took a fighting stance, which was the most direct method.
"Please." Zhou Qi stood up abruptly, drew his sword, and said, "I won't hold back."
Without hesitation, the boy charged toward Zhou Qi, showing no fear despite Zhou Qi's towering stature. He swung his battle blade down fiercely, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Qi immediately drew his sword to block. At the same time, he kicked the boy.
Facing Zhou Qi's kick, the boy did not dodge. He changed the direction of the sword in his hand that had been blocked and immediately slashed at Zhou Qi's foot. He actually wanted to take the kick head-on and cut off Zhou Qi's leg first.
Seeing this, Zhou Qi quickly pulled back his leg, while continuing to slash at the boy with his battle sword.
The counterattacks from the cycle, whether with fists, feet, or swords, were all aimed at injuring the cycle even if it meant taking the hits head-on.
The boy, as if possessed, slashed at Zhou Qi's vital points with every strike, as if he regarded Zhou Qi as a Xiongnu, showing no mercy whatsoever. His strategy of trading blows for blows forced Zhou Qi to be unable to subdue him for a time.
'He harbors an indelible hatred in his heart, and there's something I might be able to get him to help me accomplish.' Wang Han watched the two fight. Although the young man's martial arts were not as good as Zhou Qi's, they were still quite good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to exchange injuries with Zhou Qi. Moreover, he had a ruthless streak that was willing to risk his life to achieve his goals, which made Wang Han take notice. He was the kind of person who could be a villain.
“Alright, you can come with me now,” Wang Han said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi quickly stopped and retreated to Wang Han's side, letting out a sigh of relief. He knew that if the fight continued, he might actually get injured. Although Wang Han had ordered the boy to kill him, Zhou Qi knew that Wang Han wouldn't really watch him die; he was just testing the boy and hadn't intended to kill him.
After the two stopped fighting, Wang Han asked the boy, "What's your name?"
Upon hearing this, the boy quickly replied, "My name is Ran Ding."
“Ran Ding, a branch of the Ran family,” Wang Han exclaimed, surprised that he had stumbled upon such a treasure.
