"Brother, if you have anything important or suspicious, you can ask Chengzhu directly. There is no need to be so pretentious." Ye Chengzhu chuckled and asked from behind.
"Then what's the significance of Quexie Qingzhu's visit to Yangzhou City? I'm really curious, but I hope Quexie Qingzhu can tell me something?" Lin Manliu saw that his premeditated plan was discovered by him, so he had to clarify the matter and ask.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked over. His right hand began to rub the stubble on his chin, and he looked at the elegant white-robed man in front of him as if thinking.
"On this trip, I saw Brother Dangting's demeanor when I was at the inn. I think he must have extraordinary skills. I also want to see Xia Mingchan unsheathed behind Brother Dangting..."
As Ye Chengzhu spoke, his eyes that were staring at the figure in the yellow shirt moved to the Xia Ming cicada behind his right shoulder.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere changed instantly. Lin Manliu immediately stopped moving his hands and his body froze. Then the corners of his mouth turned into a ridiculous arc, like those jugglers in the market.
"Don't you people like you suddenly have nothing to do all day long, just squatting by the city gate and looking for someone to compete with swords? What's more, you don't even have a sword, how can we compete?" After hearing the news, Lin Manliu knew that he wanted to compete again. After the competition, I couldn't get angry at all. Why did I meet someone who just wanted to compete with someone for nothing? When I saw that the opponent didn't have a suitable weapon in his hand, he immediately excused himself.
"You don't need to worry, Brother Ting, the cold plum in my hand is enough!" Ye Chengzhu raised the cold plum in his hand and looked at the man with the same surname in front of him with a smile on his face, who was already a little crazy.
From the moment he raised the cold plum, he saw the big sleeves of his white robe suddenly flowing freely, and his aura changed accordingly. Lin Manliu was alerted to the change in the other person's aura, and immediately held Xia Mingchan behind his back at any time. As he prepared to unsheath himself, he immediately concluded that this person was more powerful than all the peers he had encountered in his travels.
This battle is inevitable! Accompanied by the sound of the sword being unsheathed.
"Shua——"
Immediately, Xia Mingchan unsheathed the golden sword and slowly drew it out from behind. Looking at Ye Chengzhu, the smile on his face did not diminish. He was just waiting patiently for Lin Manliu to draw the sword first.
The Han Mei in his hand will definitely not choose to confront his Xia Mingchan sword head-on. As long as he moves quickly, he will definitely have a chance of winning. After confirming the intention of drawing the sword, the figure in yellow immediately ran forward. The sword first slashed straight at Hanmei, preparing to lure Ye Chengzhu forward to dodge or block his sword draw.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chengzhu ignored the sword attack at all, and Zhan Hanmei also did not block the trajectory of the sword.
When the young man holding the sword was about to approach him, he saw Ye Chengzhu's figure moving strangely. He actually dodged the sword strike first, and then dodged behind Lin Manliu, and then swung Hanmei directly. He slapped Lin Manliu behind him.
He just held the cold plum in his mouth and swung it briefly, and then directly knocked Lin Manliu forward a few steps, and more than that!
Lin Manliu, who had just stabilized his body, felt a slight sweetness in his throat. One blow almost caused a mouthful of blood to gush out. He endured the stinging sensation in his chest and abdomen and swallowed the blood violently.
The good guy thought too much, thinking that he couldn't break his winter plum, but he didn't realize that he couldn't even touch the winter plum.
The young man holding the sword raised his sword again, pointed the tip of the sword straight at Ye Chengzhu, who was holding a cold plum in his hand and smiling, and flashed forward a few steps.
He chased Ye Chengzhu directly in front of him several times, but he dodged him one after another. His shoulders, lower abdomen, left hand, and right leg were all grabbed by Hanmei in turn.
After the two people pulled away, they saw that Ye Chengzhu turned around and stood still like a fairy. There was no damage to the clothes on his body, let alone a gloomy look on his face.
On the other hand, Lin Manliu looked a little embarrassed. When he stopped, he staggered a little. He barely managed to stand still with the Xia Mingcicada in his hand. He gasped slightly and then looked up at Ye Chengzhu in front of him.
"Is there any point in competing? I have never even touched the corner of Quexie Qingzhu's clothes, let alone sparred with it..."
"When I heard that I hadn't used my full strength, Xia Mingchan in my hand couldn't show its power. It's not that there is any mystery in my skills." Ye Chengzhu brushed the cold plum in front of his body with one hand and looked at it with a smile on his face. Lin Manliu.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Manliu, who was still holding the sword, almost spit out the blood he had just swallowed. Where did this person come from? Could he be a young leader in the Wenjian Lake here?
But looking at the umbrella he held and the way he performed his movements, they were completely different from the Wenjian Lake disciples he had seen before.
With such doubts, Lin Manliu had no choice but to stand up with his sword again, stood still and looked at the man in front of him who was wandering with him in Yangzhou City, "Since Quexie Qingzhu doesn't want to stop, let's continue."
Then the two of them continued to compare swords here, but they both fought with great tacit understanding from the archway to behind the covered bridge.
The shop doors here are all closed, and no one will pass by this place at all. It is really like a place where charlatans use their swords to fight.
Seeing that Lin Manliu's sword was much faster and stronger than before, Ye Chengzhu must have shown some sincerity. After dodging once, his whole aura suddenly changed, and he changed his previous dodge sword moves. Looking for an opportunity and waving an umbrella.
Ye Chengzhu held the cold plum in his hand as a sword, and when he twisted his wrist, he struck Xia Mingchan's sword with the blade of the sword. With one blow, Xia Mingchan almost flew out of Lin Manliu's hand.
However, he suddenly took a breath and held Xia Mingchan tightly in his hand again.
This was the first time that Xia Mingchan and Xian Hanmei collided. After another skill session, Lin Manliu seemed to be aware of the direction of the arrival. Ye Chengzhu would use a clever force after each round of sword and umbrella contact.
He removed most of the force from Xia Mingchan's sword, and then he held the cold plum in his hand and was on par with Xia Mingchan when they collided with each other.
Ye Chengzhu also gradually understood the subtleties of the opponent's sword moves. Although he only made each sword move one minute faster than the last time, such a simple sword move gradually weakened the pressure on the cold plum in his hand. He began to slowly suppress his sword moves.
"When I heard that Xia Mingchan drew the sword in my brother's hand, the sword stroke was simple but not lacking its sharpness. The sword became more and more powerful as if it were a dragon walking across the river. I feel really honored to see this today." When Ye Chengzhu was resisting Xia Mingchan's slash, He laughed out loud.
"Even so, I am still no match for the cold plum in Xie Qingzhu's hand. No matter how fast or powerful I draw the sword, it will be weakened by the cold plum. Then I can only draw the sword again, but it is blocked again, and so on. Isn't it true that Quexie Qingzhu's sword skills are far better than mine?"
Lin Manliu couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved when he saw that the other party was still laughing. No matter where he went, he would encounter some strange people and strange things.
And when the two people's umbrellas and swords collided, there was a sudden thunder in the air, which directly covered the sound of the two people's umbrellas and swords colliding. Why did thunder start rolling on a perfectly sunny day?
Then dark clouds began to cover the sky, and the sky gradually began to darken. Only behind the clouds could you vaguely see lightning splitting the entire dark cloud into white light.
Then a burst of thunder resounded across the sky. The two did not stop their movements because of the sudden change in the weather. The competition between Lin Manliu and Ye Chengzhu continued.
"I'm talking about Quexie Qingzhu. It's going to rain soon. Should we continue the competition?" Lin Manliu saw that his opponent's sword moves were still fierce, but his own sword speed was almost slowing down, so he had to continue speaking.
"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter if it rains heavily. As long as there are people discussing swords and choosing swords, I will be happy holding the cold plum in my hand!"
"How happy I am to be able to freely fight with the person I want to get to know without having to worry about other people's affairs!"
Ye Chengzhu spoke boldly under the rolling thunder, his eyes full of excitement.
After blocking Xia Mingchan's attack, Lin Manliu was knocked back several steps. Ye Chengzhu stood still and suddenly raised the cold plum in his hand to his chest. He originally held the cold plum in one hand and knocked on it with the other hand. The "bamboo jump" on the umbrella handle.
Then he opened the entire umbrella with one hand. At the moment when the winter plum blossoms were fully opened, Ye Chengzhu's momentum changed again!
The umbrella surface suddenly fluttered with the wind, and the umbrella surface and the upper part of the umbrella handle flew into the air like golden hairpins. At first, they floated erratically in the air, and soon they landed gently beside Ye Chengzhu.
Only the umbrella handle in Ye Chengzhu's right hand was left, but an extremely slender sword blade suddenly appeared on the umbrella handle.
Lin Manliu couldn't help but be a little shocked when he saw this scene. He had already underestimated the sword moves used by the person in front of him in the previous moves, but his thoughts before this scene were actually a bit ridiculous.
"It turns out that Quexie Qingzhu was just having fun with me, but now it's just begun. Okay! Today I will sacrifice my life to accompany you. Even if the sword is broken here, I still have to fight with Quexie Qingzhu!"
"please!"
Ye Chengzhu swung his sword and held Hanmei in front of him. He raised his left hand to make a gesture of invitation, and Lin Manliu drew the sword first.
Afterwards, the two of them drew their swords without any worries. When the swords of Zhan Hanmei and Xia Mingchan collided, they no longer deliberately controlled the direction of the sword or paid attention to the strength of the sword. The two soldiers collided wantonly under the thunder.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was the thunder rolling in the sky or the clash of swords...
After an unknown amount of time, it finally started to rain above the sky. The two of them drew their swords wantonly in the rain. Ye Chengzhu's bright white robe had a few holes in it, and Lin Manliu's yellow robe was not much better either.
Under a thunderous roar, the two men's swords collided, finally ending the competition...
Ye Chengzhu opened his mouth to say something, but Lin Manliu, who was exhausted under the thunder, could not hear the other party's words clearly, and fell into the rain like this.
The rain soaked Lin Manliu's gown. He lay on the bluestone floor, squinting at the heavy rain falling in the sky and the rolling thunder from time to time. He suddenly remembered some days in the past few years.
