Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 99 Wei Zhuang battles Bai Yifei, Jiang Yu saves the day

"Boom..."

A cold glint grazed Wei Zhuang's face and struck the ground beside him. In an instant, an ice flower bloomed on the ground, and a bone-chilling mist spread.

A bloodstain appeared on Wei Zhuang's face where the cold light had grazed him, before turning into frost.

Wei Zhuang reached out and wiped away the frost with his inner force. Then he looked up and saw a white-haired man in red robes, holding a blood-red longsword, walking towards him step by step.

"Kaka..."

Wherever the man passed, the temperature of the surrounding space dropped sharply, and icicles burst out from the ground, emanating a terrifying sense of oppression that made people feel palpitations and suffocation.

Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei!
This is precisely because of Jiang Yu's butterfly effect, which led to the second variable in tonight's scene: Bai Yifei, who returned to Xinzheng earlier than in the anime.

"He's a worthy opponent!"

Bai Yifei gazed at Wei Zhuang, slowly drawing his longsword from its sheath. The blade was dark red, as if it had been forged with blood.

"Kakaka..."

As Bai Yifei drew his blood sword, the ice rapidly spread across the ground, covering Wei Zhuang.

"call!"

Having just unleashed his full power to sweep across all directions, Wei Zhuang exhaled a breath of turbid air, stabilizing the surging blood and qi within his body, and then raised the Shark Tooth in his hand.

"Buzz!"

A violent golden sword aura surged forth from Wei Zhuang's body, rushing towards the ice layer that was enveloping him.

"boom……"

The two swords clashed head-on, shattering the ice powder and golden light that swept across the surrounding world.

"Whizzing!"

Mo Ya and Bai Feng quickly retreated, fearing that the fight between the two would affect them.

Of course, they didn't retreat far, after all, it's rare to have such a wonderful match.

"This is going to be interesting!"

"It's quite beautiful!"

Suddenly, a voice responded to the two, startling them. They were horrified that someone could approach them so stealthily. Such strength!

After regaining their senses, the two immediately distanced themselves and assumed fighting stances.

"Was such a strong reaction necessary?"

Who else could it be but Jiang Yu?

Mo Ya and Bai Feng exchanged a glance, their meanings unspoken.

"This guy has gotten even stronger!"

On the day Jiang Yu saved Yan Ling Ji, she didn't have the strength. After her breakthrough, Jiang Yu did meet Mo Ya once, but she never showed her strength after the breakthrough.

Jiang Yu ignored the two startled fellows and focused her gaze on the fight between Blood-Clad Marquis and Wei Zhuang.

Compared to the Blood-Clad Marquis at his peak, Wei Zhuang, who had previously suffered considerable losses due to the attacks of Mo Ya and Bai Feng, was clearly at a disadvantage.

Therefore, they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, and if things continued like this, Wei Zhuang might really be left behind.

"This is not okay."

Jiang Yu shook her head and disappeared from the spot.

"call!"

Mo Ya and Bai Feng, who were under immense pressure, finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Jiang Yu would strike them with her sword again without saying a word.

"Who do you think will win?"

Mo Ya, now relaxed, nudged Bai Feng's shoulder.

"Who knows."

Bai Feng mimicked Mo Ya's previous tone. With his strength, asking him to judge who would win between the two was just making things difficult for him.

On the field!

"boom!"

Bai Yifei's eyes sharpened, and suddenly ice pillars, like vines, burst forth from the ground behind him, rapidly intertwining and growing, crashing down on Wei Zhuang with the force of a thousand troops.

"Buzz!" A faint golden sword aura swirled around Wei Zhuang's body, forming a protective aura. He then leaped up, dodging the oncoming ice vines.

"tread!"

Wei Zhuang dodged the attack and landed on the bridge made of ice vines. His figure flashed a few times and he appeared in front of Bai Yifei. He pointed out the Shark Tooth Sword in his hand with lightning speed.

Bai Yifei stood before him, holding the blood sword. The icy sword energy was like a dragon, swirling and circling around him.

Under the extreme cold, the Shark Tooth sword that Wei Zhuang thrust at gradually began to be covered with frost, making his sword slower and slower.

Bai Yifei then swung his sword.

"boom!"

A tremendous ice storm roared, and an astonishing shockwave swept outwards. Wei Zhuang's eyes narrowed, and he immediately sheathed his sword and retreated.

"Om..."

As Wei Zhuang retreated, a layer of ice gradually formed on Bai Yifei's blood sword, making the temperature on the field increasingly frighteningly low.

Having gathered his strength, Bai Yifei leaped forward, his figure flashing as he thrust his sword straight at Wei Zhuang in return.

Wei Zhuang, who was retreating, quickly drew his sword to block in front of him, using his other hand to brace against the end of the sword. With his internal energy surging wildly, the golden light around him became even more dazzling.

"Ding!"

The Blood Sword pierced the Shark Tooth Sword, its domineering power forcing Wei Zhuang to retreat again and again. Sharp and unparalleled sword energy burst forth from the point of impact, raging across the surrounding world.

In just a few breaths, the surrounding area was already riddled with holes.

"Oh!"

Wei Zhuang stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and the terrifying force caused the ground to shatter instantly, allowing Wei Zhuang to stabilize his retreating figure.

Seeing this, Blood-Clad Marquis unleashed his inner strength even further, but Wei Zhuang was equally unwilling to back down, and the two remained locked in a stalemate with their swords.

However, for Wei Zhuang, who had already expended a lot of energy, this stalemate was not in his best interest.

"Boom!"

Fortunately, at this moment, a dazzling sword light, like a silver river falling from the heavens, roared and poured fiercely towards Blood-Clad Marquis.

Sensing this sudden and terrifying attack, Blood-Clad Marquis's expression changed, and he immediately abandoned his pressure on Wei Zhuang, turning his sword to defend.

"boom!"

As the towering sword struck, Bai Yifei was forced back again and again, leaving a series of deep footprints on the ground.

Jiang Yu landed beside Wei Zhuang and smiled:

"You're welcome!"

When Wei Zhuang saw Jiang Yu come to his rescue, he showed no surprise. His response to Jiang Yu's words was simply this:
"At first, I didn't know what was going on that made Ye Mu go crazy and dig up almost the entire area around Xinzheng. Now I understand."

This is what Wei Zhuang began to think about after seeing the empty cave.

Finally, with the conclusion drawn and Jiang Yu's intervention, the answer became completely clear.

It was Jiang Yu who, like a mantis stalking a cicada unaware of a oriole behind, stole the military pay that Ye Mu had already obtained.

This is what caused Nightfall's earlier madness!

This led to Han Fei's failed attempt to lure the snake out of its hole, causing him to fall into the ambush of the night!
Only Jiang Yu, the culprit, knew he was in danger and came to his rescue.

Jiang Yu was not surprised at all upon hearing this. If Wei Zhuang still couldn't understand the whole story by now, then this disciple of Guigu should just find a block of tofu and kill himself.

Of course, on the surface, Jiang Yu remained completely calm and even protested:

"Brother Wei Zhuang, it hurts me so much that you judge a gentleman by the standards of a petty person."

"I'm curious, what exactly do you want to do?"

This is precisely why Wei Zhuang has never been able to see through Jiang Yu.

Based on Jiang Yu's actions during his time in Xinzheng, it's completely incomprehensible what he's trying to do.

"The immediate threat seems more important than your curiosity."

Jiang Yu looked up at Bai Yifei and saw that Bai Yifei had already made a new move.
