Bang!
Chen Jinzhao blocked the elbow, a meaningful smile on his face.
"If this is all you've got, you're still not enough," he said with a faint smile. By now, he was quite sure Zhu Ziqian had an extraordinary background, as his moves were all lethal.
Clearly.
He was the one he was looking for.
Zhu Ziqian was furious.
He thought Chen Jinzhao was too arrogant, daring to look down on him!
He immediately retreated a few steps, took out two knives from a drawer beside the sofa, and charged at Chen Jinzhao with a roar!
Invincible with dual blades, he sliced through a wooden plank as thick as a bowl.
Seeing Chen Jinzhao repeatedly retreating, Zhu Ziqian sneered, "Didn't expect this, did you? My dual blades are quite famous, you can't handle me. As for you, you're dead today!"
He continued to boast and demoralize Chen Jinzhao while attacking.
However—
Zhu Ziqian's heart quickly sank.
No matter how fast he swung his dual blades, Chen Jinzhao dodged them with uncanny accuracy.
The fight had been going on for a minute and a half. Zhu Ziqian had swung his blades no less than two hundred times, yet each time he was just a hair's breadth away from cutting Chen Jinzhao's skin, but never once did he connect.
Zhu Ziqian gritted his teeth, his muscles bulging, and threw the short blade in his right hand!
Whiz!
The short blade spun through the air, heading straight for Chen Jinzhao.
At the same time.
Zhu Ziqian's left-hand blade also struck at Chen Jinzhao. This was a risky move. If Chen Jinzhao chose to dodge the flying knife, he would be heavily injured by Zhu Ziqian's left-hand blade. If he didn't dodge, he would be heavily injured by the flying knife.
It was equivalent to presenting Chen Jinzhao with two poisoned chalices; choosing either would bring unbearable consequences.
Chen Jinzhao smiled.
Did he really think these minor tricks could stump him?
He wouldn't choose either of the poisoned chalices!
He would just flip the table!
As the flying knife neared Chen Jinzhao, Chen Jinzhao raised his hand, intending to catch it!
Zhu Ziqian was overjoyed!
He thought Chen Jinzhao was arrogant and overconfident. Even a B-class expert might not be able to catch a flying knife bare-handed. Chen Jinzhao doing so would likely result in his hand being severed.
That would be his opportunity.
The next moment.
Something happened that Zhu Ziqian never expected.
The flying knife stopped in mid-air, its hilt firmly grasped by Chen Jinzhao. Seeing this, Zhu Ziqian was almost scared stiff. Although he was also a B-class expert, he lacked the confidence to catch a short blade in mid-flight.
If he tried ten times, he might succeed once at most.
"He's really got incredible luck! You can't be this lucky every time!" Zhu Ziqian quickly regained his composure, still wielding his blade and attacking. Chen Jinzhao held the short blade in his palm, and after a mere glance, he realized it carried a strong scent of blood, indicating it had been used by Zhu Ziqian to kill many people. This further confirmed that Zhu Ziqian was likely the person he was looking for.
Whiz!
The short blade hummed, and Zhu Ziqian was already close.
Chen Jinzhao raised his eyes and his blade to block. As the two blades clashed, brilliant sparks flew. He also used the opportunity to exert force, causing Zhu Ziqian's wrist to bear immense pressure. The short blade flew back and embedded itself in the ground not far away!
Zhu Ziqian's face paled in shock as he stumbled backward.
Chen Jinzhao sneered. It was time for him to reap the rewards; how could he show mercy?
Instead of retreating, he advanced, swinging his blade.
Zhu Ziqian's pupils contracted sharply, but there was no room for him to retreat behind him. He could only grit his teeth and fight back with his fists. Chen Jinzhao, wielding the short blade, was agile and at ease amidst Zhu Ziqian's attacks. Zhu Ziqian's anxious heart gradually relaxed, as he realized that even with just his fists, he could fight evenly against Chen Jinzhao, who held a short blade. This meant he still had a chance to win.
Another two minutes passed. Zhu Ziqian, filled with fighting spirit, laughed heartily, "I thought you were much stronger, but it seems you're just average."
"Compared to me, you're still lacking."
"Is that so?" Chen Jinzhao asked with a half-smile.
Up to this point, Chen Jinzhao hadn't used his full strength, he had just been playing with Zhu Ziqian.
It was at this moment.
Chen Jinzhao suddenly stopped fighting and stood a short distance away from Zhu Ziqian.
Zhu Ziqian assumed Chen Jinzhao had run out of tricks. His laughter grew even more unrestrained, with a hint of mockery. "Chen Jinzhao, Chen Jinzhao, your strength is indeed quite good among B-class experts. If you have no other means, then you're dead today."
Chen Jinzhao smiled without a word.
Seeing Chen Jinzhao's smile, Zhu Ziqian felt a sense of unease.
He had the upper hand and had established a psychological advantage, so why was Chen Jinzhao still smiling?
Hmph!
Just putting on a brave face!
Zhu Ziqian glanced at his watch. They had been fighting for nearly ten minutes. It was time to end it.
He took a step forward, but his expression suddenly changed drastically.
A tearing sound came from his arm. Zhu Ziqian looked down abruptly and saw a ghastly wound there. He hadn't felt anything at all before.
Screech!
Another tearing sound followed.
Zhu Ziqian's chest clothing ripped open, and multiple wounds appeared on his chest skin, from which bright red blood beads continuously seeped out.
On his arms, his thighs, his back, his face…
Wounds covered his entire body.
They were everywhere!
Zhu Ziqian felt an unprecedented weakness and terror. He immediately understood that Chen Jinzhao was responsible. No wonder Chen Jinzhao could still smile; he knew all along that he had already won.
Compared to Chen Jinzhao, Zhu Ziqian was too inferior.
Thump!
His leg wounds were severe, no longer able to support his body. He knelt on the ground.
He looked at Chen Jinzhao in terror. "You, you are not a B-class expert, but the legendary A-class! How is this possible? A mere Ninghai City actually harbors an A-class expert."
Zhu Ziqian was filled with unwillingness.
Earlier, the Yu family had asked him to kill Chen Jinzhao, but he had refused several times, fearing trouble.
Who would have thought that Chen Jinzhao would come to him proactively.
Chen Jinzhao walked up to Zhu Ziqian and looked down at his defeated opponent. Zhu Ziqian clenched his fists but was helpless. The feeling of being defeated by another was truly unbearable.
"Will you confess voluntarily, or shall I force it out of you?" Chen Jinzhao presented Zhu Ziqian with a choice.
Zhu Ziqian replied without hesitation, "I'll confess voluntarily!"
Chen Jinzhao smiled.
It was always interesting to deal with intelligent people.
Zhu Ziqian pursed his pale lips, then took a deep breath. "I killed several wealthy businessmen for Yu Lingxiao; they were all Yu Lingxiao's rivals. That list and the details are in my diary by my bed. In addition, it also contains the transfer records between Yu Lingxiao and me. Of course, Yu Lingxiao was very cautious and paid me through virtual currency, so there's no trace on the bank statements. However, virtual currency transactions can be traced on the dark web."
"That's all I know. I know nothing else about the Yu family."
