Defeating and killing were two completely different issues; the difficulty level was completely different. Thus, if he wanted to kill Zhu Wu Jiu, then he needed to create an opportunity wherein he could kill Zhu Wu Jiu in a single strike. After the battle, he’d be able to s.h.i.+ft the blame away from himself by saying he had not managed to restrain himself in time.
The two fighters continued to battle for a while, and Nangong Ji, with his much more superior ability, finally found an excellent opportunity. He stabbed with his sword, creating three flashes of cold light which headed directly for Zhu Wu Jiu’s heart.
This was not Sword Qi. He had just stabbed so quickly that he had created two afterimages.
Earth Grade high level martial arts technique, Shadow Dance Sword Arts!
He spent all the academic points that he had saved up for this martial arts technique, just to prepare for today so that he could kill Zhu Wu Jiu.
‘Die!’ He spat out in his mind as he used the strongest move of the Shadow Dance Sword Arts to form a merciless attack.
“Xiu,” Zhu Wu Jiu brandished his sword as well, and actually formed two flashes of cold light!
Could it be that he was also using an extremely swift sword technique?
No!
“Sword Qi!” The spectators all gasped in shock. This was Sword Qi, proof of a ruler!
“Pu! Pu!”
Two spurts of blood appeared at the same time. Nangong Ji’s sword had pierced Zhu Wu Jiu’s stomach, while the Sword Qi that Zhu Wu Jiu had formed had drawn across Nangong Ji’s throat, leaving behind a b.l.o.o.d.y wound.
A cold light appeared in Nangong Ji’s eyes. He immediately drew back his sword and gave another stab. He wanted to kill his opponent!
“Shua,” another flash of cold light drew over in an arch. Ling Han acted, stepping forward with a wave of his sword.
With a “ding”, Nangong Ji was forced back by this strike. He glared furiously at Ling Han, and said, “Who are you to dare to meddle in my affairs? Don’t you know that interfering in a battle is a very serious offense?!”
Ling Han smiled softly and said, “He can no longer continue the battle, so this battle is already over. However, if you would like to have a spar with me, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson.”
Nangong Ji glared angrily. Zhu Wu Jiu had actually managed to form a flash of Sword Qi, and now possessed the preliminary qualifications to step into the ranks of rulers. Zhu Wu Jiu may one day become a huge problem for him, and he had originally intended to finish him off completely today. He had never thought that their battle would be interrupted with Ling Han’s interference.
“Brat, those who meddle too much in the affairs of others never have a good ending!” He threatened. Now, it was no longer possible for him to kill Zhu Wu Jiu on the spot, so his heart was filled with furious rage.
“You either battle with me now, or get lost. Don’t babble so much!” Ling Han said disdainfully.
