Li Chengqian stood quietly with his hands behind his back.
Opposite them, a young man who looked very young, with his eyes covered by a black cloth,
Holding a plain, unremarkable iron rod,
Pointing at Li Chengqian.
A chilling atmosphere quietly permeated the air.
Across from him, Wu Zhu suddenly spoke:
"I've never seen you before!"
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Isn't it normal that you haven't seen the world yet?"
Wu Zhu, unwilling to elaborate further, continued:
"You are dangerous, this is not good!"
"Danger? So what do you plan to do? Kill me? Can you do that?"
This was the first time Li Chengqian had faced an enemy at the Grandmaster level.
He felt a strange sense of excitement.
"Ding!"
"A fate-defying event has been detected that the host has triggered it."
Mission: Strike
"Time: Today".
"Reward: You will receive one lottery draw upon completion."
"If the deadline is exceeded or the quantity is insufficient, the task will fail."
Defeat Wu Zhu?
How is a defeat defined?
Should we kill him outright, or force him to use his laser eyes?
Just then, Wu Zhu gripped the iron rod in his hand and said, "I can give it a try."
After saying that, he suddenly leaped over, the ground instantly cracking open, and the iron rod in his hand pointed directly at Li Chengqian's throat.
This strike contained no true energy, only extreme power, speed, and precision.
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes, clenched his fist, and the wooden horse and ox quietly appeared in his palm.
Wu Zhu's ears twitched slightly; he sensed that Li Chengqian had a weapon in his hand.
He just didn't understand how it came about.
The immortal knelt before the swordsman!
Li Chengqian unleashed a sword strike, its aura overwhelmingly domineering.
The sword and the iron rod clashed violently, the powerful force sending both of them flying backward instantly.
However, Wu Zhu retreated a greater distance than Li Chengqian!
"This isn't the temple's swordsmanship!"
Wu Zhu said coldly.
Although he was a robot, he could clearly sense the difference in the sword's aura.
Among the grandmasters, only Si Gu Jian uses a sword.
But Si Gu Jian's sword intent was like that of a madman.
It's completely different from Li Chengqian's powerful swordplay.
"What business is it of yours what kind of swordsmanship I use!"
Li Chengqian smiled.
Then, wielding the wooden horse and ox, he unleashed a move called "Two Green Snakes in Two Sleeves"!
The aura on the wooden horse suddenly surged, and a dazzling and powerful blue light appeared on the tip of the sword.
With a slash,
Wu Zhu was locked in by the qi, with no way to avoid it, and could only raise his iron rod to defend himself.
The iron rod was instantly severed by the sword's edge.
At the critical moment, Wu Zhu mustered all his strength and took a step back.
With a tearing sound,
A cyan sword light flashed down.
A deep sword wound appeared on Wu Zhu's chest.
Golden blood splattered out in an instant.
Li Chengqian's eyes flickered slightly, but he showed no mercy in his actions.
Although he didn't initially intend to kill Wu Zhu, now that he has the opportunity, he won't hesitate to do so.
He immediately stepped forward with his sword, and as the blue sword light flickered, he was about to cut Wu Zhu in two on the spot.
Wu Zhu felt no pain from the injury to his chest, but he was acutely aware of the danger he was in.
At the critical moment, he instinctively raised his hand and grabbed the black ribbon in front of him.
It seems to be some kind of instinctive mechanism that made him make this move.
Even he himself didn't quite understand the meaning of his action.
However, when Li Chengqian saw this scene,
His expression changed, and without hesitation, he sheathed his sword and flew away.
Wu Zhu might not know this because he has lost his memory.
But he knew perfectly well what was hidden beneath that black ribbon.
Although he feels he is very strong now
However, they were not confident they could dodge the laser beam.
He didn't think he could travel faster than the speed of light.
He didn't want to waste the opportunity to use an external avatar to mitigate a fatal injury.
In this battle, he had already tested his level among Grandmasters.
He was confident he could defeat anyone except Emperor Qing.
That alone is enough of a gain this time; there's no need to keep fighting with Wu Zhu to the death.
Whether his actions constitute a defeat of Wu Zhu depends on the system's own judgment.
Li Chengqian gave Wu Zhu a deep look before quietly leaving.
Then he disappeared completely, and the next second he returned to the East Palace.
Wu Zhu waited quietly for a while, and after confirming that there was no one around, he also fell into thought.
What's under his blindfold?
How could it possibly make a completely unfamiliar grandmaster retreat?
Moreover, the other party seems to know me better than I do!
However, he didn't dwell on it. He simply glanced at Kyoto expressionlessly, then looked down at the wound on his chest.
He was torn between protecting Fan Xian and going to Da Dong Mountain to restore things.
At this moment, at the Second Prince's residence.
Li Hongwei specially invited the Second Prince to participate in the poetry gathering.
At the same time, he talked about what happened at Yishiju today.
"You mean, a young man actually caught an incoming arrow in an instant and saved Fan Xian?"
Li Chengze didn't quite believe it.
"That arrow was powerful and made a loud sound as it pierced the air; it was definitely shot by a master, but it was still caught by that person. I saw it with my own eyes!"
"At the very least, that person is a ninth-rank official."
Li Hongcheng said.
"Ninth rank? Why not a Grandmaster?" Li Chengze pondered.
"How is that possible? How can there be such a young grandmaster in the world?"
Li Hongcheng laughed.
Li Chengze's face darkened.
Why not?
That Crown Prince Li Chengqian is a true grandmaster!
Thinking of this, Li Chengze was speechless.
Recently, many ministers have been trying to curry favor with him, but unfortunately, the crown prince is a grandmaster, and he has no chance to resist.
but if,
If the person who saved Fan Xian is also a Grandmaster, what if he could recruit him?
Perhaps he still has a sliver of a chance?
Compared to Fan Xian,
At this moment, Li Chengqian was even more interested in this person who might be a Grandmaster!
Thinking of this, Li Chengze couldn't help but ask:
"What's that man's name?"
