Facing Xun Daoren once again, Li Zhu still felt unimaginable pressure, the kind of psychological pressure that only arises from a vast difference in strength...
The Marquis stood before Li Zhu, taking some of the pressure upon himself, but the incoming sword still held him firmly in place, seemingly capable of cleaving him in two with a single strike…
"Little brother, if you don't do something soon, I'm going to die here..."
Li Zhu roared, convinced that his adopted younger brother was definitely there, after all, he had saved him more than once…
Perhaps hearing Li Zhu's cries for help, Nangong Niannian's handsome figure stepped in front of Li Zhu...
Watching Nangong Niannian's retreating figure, Li Zhu felt much more at ease...
Bang!
The two men's weapons clashed, and Xun Daoren quickly retreated, creating enough distance between them...
"Kid, was it you who saved Li Zhu that day?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Nangong Niannian said coldly, her voice devoid of any emotion…
"Do you realize you've messed with someone you shouldn't have?"
Xun Daoren made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent as he spoke!
"There's no one in this world I can't afford to offend..."
Upon hearing Nangong Niannian's words, everyone gasped in shock, and in their hearts there was only one judgment: arrogant!
This was the first time Li Zhu had seen Nangong Niannian so arrogant. But thinking about it, it was only the second time the two had met, so it was normal for him, as the older brother, not to understand his younger brother…
"Arrogant! Do you even know how many heroes and great men there are in this world? How dare you look down on everyone?"
Xun Daoren, barely suppressing his anger, rebuked him!
"I'm only looking down on you right now..."
Upon hearing Nangong Niannian's words, Xun Daoren had only one thought: That really hit home, my friend!
"Young man, it's good to be capable, but if you don't respect your seniors, you'll suffer sooner or later..."
Xun Daoren spoke in a lecturing tone!
"Senior? You dare to call yourself that?"
After being rebuked twice by Nangong Niannian without any emotion, Xun Daoren couldn't help but clutch his chest, thinking that young people nowadays have no respect for their elders at all.
"Pooh!"
Li Zhu spat beside him, which made Xun Daoren's eyes turn red...
"Li Zhu, who do you think you are? Didn't your mother tell you that I am your elder?"
Unable to argue with Nangong Niannian, Xun Daoren could only criticize Li Zhu to try and find some balance...
"My mother is a talented woman of high status; she's not someone just some nobody would even remember..."
Li Zhu said in a disdainful tone!
Xun Daoren was so angry that he trembled. He was a descendant of the Zhou emperor, yet he was being treated like a nobody? Most importantly, Nangong Qing was merely a talented woman, a position in the palace where everyone had to kowtow. Was she somehow so noble in front of him? There was no way he could look down on someone like that!
"Do you have any last words? If not, I'll have to send you on your way..."
Nangong Niannian was ruthless and didn't talk much; she directly wanted to cripple Xun Daoren!
"Your parents didn't teach you manners, so let me teach you today..."
Xun Daoren threw out the moon wheel, and under his control, the moon wheel seemed to replicate itself: one begets two, two begets four, four begets eight…
In the blink of an eye, she was filled with countless moon discs, and the next moment, the moon discs flew towards Nangong Niannian like a shower of flowers from a celestial maiden…
Nangong Niannian merely snorted coldly, and the longsword in her hand seemed to sense his emotions, emitting a slight humming sound…
"A mere trick, you dare to show it off? It's nothing but a smokescreen. Watch how I expose you..."
As his words fell, his body was already airborne, as if gravity could no longer hold him back…
Li Zhu was shocked. Could one really master lightness skills to this extent? If he had such strength, wouldn't he be able to escape much faster?
If others knew his idea, they would definitely despise him. With skills like that, why run away? He should just go up and kill the other person...
Ding ding dong…
The clash of weapons rang out one after another, and the battle between the two men dazzled him...
Just as Li Zhu was engrossed in watching, an arrow suddenly appeared and headed straight for Nangong Niannian…
Nangong Niannian, who was originally in complete control, had to be slightly distracted to defend against the sudden arrow attack...
But Xun Daoren seized this opening, leaping forward, moon wheel in hand, and lunging straight for Nangong Niannian's neck...
Faced with such a fatal blow, Nangong Niannian had no choice but to retaliate, which interrupted his fluid movements...
Bang!
This strike was incredibly powerful, completely exceeding Nangong Niannian's expectations. Her longsword, unable to bear the weight, bent inwards, and the power of the moon wheel passed through the sword, striking Nangong Niannian's chest...
Severely injured by this attack, Nangong Niannian was sent flying backward...
"mean…"
Nangong Niannian said coldly, seemingly without any problem, but his pale face betrayed his current state!
"Hmph, just a petty trick. If you're so capable, find a skilled archer yourself. Maybe you'll get shot dead with a single arrow when we're fighting seriously..."
Xun Daoren said shamelessly!
Li Zhu, standing beside him, also frowned, glancing at the vanished archery expert. He looked every bit the Archery Soul, but the man had already gone to the frontier; he couldn't possibly be in Luoyang…
"The mighty Heavenly Dao Alliance, at its ninth level, is nothing more than this..."
Nangong Niannian said sarcastically!
"History is written by the victors. Only those who live and win have the right to judge others; the dead have no right to speak..."
Xun Daoren once again brought out his fallacies and heresies to justify his shameless behavior...
"That's right, even the dead aren't worthy of my judgment; they're just defeated opponents..."
Nangong Niannian retorted sharply. The two stared at each other, trying to ascertain each other's current state. Even though Nangong Niannian was injured, Xun Daoren dared not act rashly, fearing that Nangong Niannian would fight him to the death...
He, who considered himself superior, would never easily risk his life against someone...
"Let me see just how much of your strength you can muster..."
Xun Daoren, wielding the Moon Wheel, charged straight at Nangong Niannian. Faced with Xun Daoren's pressure, Nangong Niannian showed no intention of backing down; he was even more forceful than Xun Daoren…
The longsword in his hand directly deflected the moon wheel, and without any hesitation, it thrust straight towards Xun Daoren's chest...
In just one clash, Xun Daoren knew that even if Nangong Niannian was injured, he couldn't easily defeat her. Even if he won in the end, it would likely be a Pyrrhic victory, which was not the result he wanted...
Just as Xun Daoren hesitated, the long sword in Nangong Niannian's hand, like a long snake, tightly wrapped around Xun Daoren. With each change, it tried to engulf Xun Daoren, giving the feeling that it wanted to tear him to pieces...
