Chapter 2457: A Great Battle
“Royal brother!” Princess Ni Huang cried out in shock, but it was too late for her to stop him.
Zu An chose not to dodge the devastating attack, however. He stood his ground as a golden bell projection formed around him. The attack struck the bell, and the two canceled out each other.
Princess Ni Huang quickly stood in front of Zu An and exclaimed, “Royal brother, how can you attack my friend?!”
Zu An interjected with a smile, saying, “Princess, it’s a misunderstanding. Your brother held back. He was merely testing me.”
The other party’s attack had carried no killing intent.
The Asura King nodded in satisfaction. “Indeed. That explains how you defeated Ox Head, Horse Face, Golden Cangue, and Silver Chain. I was worried that my royal sister had been deceived by an outsider due to her lack of experience, but I now see that I was overthinking it.”
Princess Ni Huang was displeased. “Royal brother, do I look that gullible to you?”
The Asura King merely smiled. He knew his little sister was no fool, but as a king, he was carrying too much on his shoulders, so much so that he didn’t have the luxury of unconditional trust. Kings could only trust themselves.
He'd only used 60 to 70% of his strength earlier, but it was enough to prove that the other party was an expert.
