In the Great Qin Dynasty, I, the Unruly Commander, begin by dual-cultivating with Yan Ling Ji.

Nongyu, who was standing to the side, only glanced at him before continuing to focus on playing the zither. After all, this was not the first or second time that her young master had behaved in such a godlike manner.

Ying Ziqing looked at the solemn-looking Li Cunli with satisfaction, now that he had gained another expert at the peak of the Innate Realm under his command.

At this moment, Wei Zhuang, dressed in a dark gold martial arts outfit, walked into the rooftop.

Suddenly sensing a strange yet powerful aura, he looked up and met Li Cunli's gaze.

Sensing the powerful aura hidden beneath Li Cunli's calm exterior, a fighting spirit flashed in Wei Zhuang's eyes.

Competing against stronger opponents is one of Wei Zhuang's few interests.

Ying Ziqing naturally saw the fighting spirit in Wei Zhuang's eyes, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Wei Zhuang approached Ying Ziqing and bowed, saying:

"General, all those princes and nobles with royal blood have been executed, and all the gold and silver treasures confiscated have been deposited into the branch's treasury."

Ying Ziqing nodded, ordering Wei Zhuang to lead the Bad People to kill members of the royal bloodline. This was to prevent certain unscrupulous people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, and incidentally, it would also replenish the Bad People's treasury. Why not do it?

"Well done. I see you're itching to show your skills. How about you have a match with my newly recruited subordinates?"

Wei Zhuang was naturally more than happy to agree. He took a few steps back, looked at Li Cunli whose hands were hidden in his sleeves, and said:

"Wei Zhuang, please enlighten me."

"Li Cunli, General, please."

Without the slightest hesitation, Wei Zhuang drew his Netherworld Sword as he sped away.

A sharp, sinister sword light slashed towards Li Cunli.

At this moment, a sense of urgency and impending doom filled the zither music played by Nongyu.

Li Cunli maintained his submissive expression, but with a flash of white light from his hands, the sword light was abruptly severed.

A slender longsword, gleaming through the light, pierced towards Wei Zhuang's chest like a venomous snake.

Seeing this, Wei Zhuang could only raise his sword and press down to block Li Cunli's tricky thrust.

With a clang, the sword blades clashed, sparks flying.

Even at the late stage of the Innate Realm, Wei Zhuang still struggled somewhat against Li Cunli, who was at the peak of the Innate Realm.

They gradually fell into a disadvantageous position in the confrontation.

A red light flashed in Wei Zhuang's eyes, and he retreated several feet. Then, he brought his index and middle fingers together and swept them across the Netherworld Sword. A black dragon shadow slowly emerged behind Wei Zhuang.

Then, gripping the sword with both hands, he slashed out, and the black dragon shadow roared as it charged toward Li Cunli.

This is Wei Zhuang's strongest move, "Horizontal Sweep in All Directions!"

Ying Ziqing looked at Wei Zhuang, who had mastered the Eight Directions Technique to perfection, and nodded in satisfaction. Wei Zhuang's combat strength should now be comparable to that of the middle-aged Wei Zhuang in Qin's Moon.

Li Cunli watched as the ferocious dragon shadow roared and charged towards him, a faint smile appearing on his face.

He casually uttered a few words: "Just slaying dragons."

Then, holding a slender longsword in each hand, he slashed the two swords in a cross pattern, slicing the ferocious black dragon into four pieces with the silver cross before it vanished without a trace.

However, the two thin swords in Li Cunli's hands also shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

He sighed helplessly, then looked at Wei Zhuang and said, "Brother Wei Zhuang, how about we call it a draw?"

Wei Zhuang nodded, silently sheathed the Netherworld Sword, his right hand, which was behind his back, trembled slightly.

He cupped his hands in greeting to Ying Ziqing and then left on his own.

Ying Ziqing shook her head. It seemed that Wei Zhuang still had a long way to go. However, Li Cunli was a master at the peak of the Innate Realm after all. Being able to force out seven-tenths of Li Cunli's strength was already quite good.

Indeed, to save face for Wei Zhuang, Li Cunli, who was adept at social etiquette, shattered his own sword and then proposed a draw.

Ying Ziqing raised her hand, and with a flash of light, a slender longsword engraved with intricate patterns appeared in Li Cunli's hand.

"Take it. This sword is called Shadow Soul."

Li Cunli stroked the dark gold sword and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for bestowing this sword."

"Next, I have a task for you. You will lead the Bad People to teach those pedantic civil officials a lesson. Whether or not to kill them is up to you."

This task was best suited to be given to Li Cunli, that treacherous and ruthless old man.

Li Cunli bowed deeply and said:

"Your subject will certainly live up to the Commander's high expectations."

After Li Cunli left, Ying Ziqing also told Nongyu to go and rest.

When he was the only one on the rooftop

A rainbow of light flowed in his hand, and a dark blue fruit with faint arcs of electricity and a fruit burning with golden flames appeared in front of Ying Ziqing.

Ying Ziqing first swallowed the Wutong Divine Fruit. The moment it entered her mouth, the Wutong Divine Fruit transformed into a warm current and entered Ying Ziqing's body.

It felt as if a blazing flame was burning within her body. With the circulation of her late-stage True Spirit internal energy, the medicinal power was quickly absorbed by Ying Ziqing.

A golden flame pattern suddenly appeared on his forehead.

He spread his hands, and a ball of crimson-gold flame floated in his hands.

Feeling the terrifying high temperature emanating from the flames, beings below the True Spirit level would probably be burned to ashes in an instant.

Ying Ziqing was very satisfied with the powerful flames. Although her internal energy had not increased, its quality had become stronger, and she had mastered the power of flames.

The system's product is indeed of high quality.

Ying Ziqing looked at the fruit that was crackling with a dark blue electric arc, picked it up and swallowed it.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit bursts with a lot of sour juice the moment it enters the mouth, and after swallowing it...

A deafening thunderclap resounded within Ying Ziqing's body, followed by arcs of electricity crackling across her skin, a blue lightning mark overlapping with the flame patterns.

Then Ying Ziqing's expression changed, and the lightning and flame power within her body gradually became more violent due to their collision.

It rampaged through Ying Ziqing's internal organs.

"I was careless..."

He hurriedly activated the Heavenly Gang Technique, mobilizing the supreme Yang internal energy within his body to suppress the power of thunder and flames.

Under the suppression of the supreme Yang internal energy, the dark blue lightning power and the blazing golden flame power gradually merged and became one.

It transformed into pure golden lightning, and the overlapping patterns on its forehead became unique golden lightning patterns.

The blazing golden lightning power circulated within Ying Ziqing's body, gradually stabilizing.

Ying Ziqing opened his palm, and a blazing golden lightning bolt appeared in his hand.

This new power of thunder carries both the heat of flames and the destructive force of lightning.

Ying Ziqing looked at a distant mountain peak, and with a thought, thick, blazing golden lightning fell from the sky, shattering the top of the mountain into pieces.

It was as if this thunder existed solely for destruction.

Ying Ziqing closed his eyes slightly, and the next second, his body transformed into blazing golden lightning, instantly unleashing a speed hundreds of times stronger than before.

After a short while, he returned to normal.

Gazing at the lightning in his palm, he murmured:

"Let's call it Blazing Sun Divine Thunder..."
