"Qiang——"
When the time was up, the hourglass had just finished dripping, and before the referee could finish his words, Fang Qi had already unsheathed his sword and pointed it towards Qin Ling's face with a cold light.
Qin Ling was slower. He followed the rules and did not attack first, so he was a beat slower and was already at a disadvantage in the blink of an eye.
The referee obviously discovered Fang Qi's minor violation. The other party was a little angry, but after all, it was not a big deal, and there was no need to get into a big fight. He pursed his lips and planned to issue a warning on his own later. Prevent this person from breaking the rules and becoming addicted.
The shortcomings of being slightly at a disadvantage were immediately revealed. Qinling completely lost the opportunity and became the most passive one. He could only keep dodging Fang Qi's "deadly" sword moves.
Qin Ling and the other party were once good friends, so how could he not understand the other party? It was precisely because he knew Fang Qi that he felt more and more desperate. They used to fight each other often.
Sure enough, the first move failed. He has always known that the opponent likes to rush for tricks and refuses to follow the rules. No matter how many times they fight, Fang Qi will always be the one who grabs the move, and he will always be the one who doesn't get a lesson.
Look, this person knows so much about him, and it chills him to know so much.
Qin Ling pursed his lips, suddenly changed his moves, and used his sword to touch the opponent's sword. His spiritual power was divided at the first touch. Neither of them had any further spiritual power competition to avoid wasting it.
Suddenly, Qin Ling, who was about to change his attack, abruptly changed his attack and struck Fang Qi in the face in the opposite direction.
From their angle in Ningxia, one could clearly see the surprise on Fang Qi's face. Probably he didn't expect that the other party would make such a change.
The two of them had fought many times before, and they were both quite familiar with each other's ways. Although they both clicked, the two of them were really familiar enough to be able to guess each other's next moves.
From the beginning, they all had a tacit understanding and did not choose fancy moves. After all, it was useless to know the moves they were all familiar with. Instead, they used basic sword moves to compete with each other, and mixed in some sword moves from time to time, so as not to be too familiar with them. It was cracked immediately.
So although it seemed that Qinling was at a disadvantage, in fact the two of them maintained a delicate balance. They were both spying on each other, going deep into the flesh, and they were both waiting for the opportunity to kill with one blow.
Because they know each other so well, their bodies can react subconsciously to what the other person wants to do next. Conventional fighting cannot determine the winner. They have to change their moves, change, and find gaps to defeat the opponent.
After all, the two have similar cultivation levels, so it is impossible to defeat each other casually.
But Fang Qi himself didn't expect that Qin Ling would be the first to change his tactics.
He has a smooth personality and is eccentric in his behavior. He dislikes rules and regulations and is unscrupulous. Therefore, Qin Ling, who has always been a gentleman, will not be his opponent, even if everyone's cultivation levels are almost the same.
But today, Qinling made changes first and tried to gain an advantage. This was an astonishing change. If it weren't for the wrong location, Fang Qi would have screamed in surprise.
It seems that this person is really obsessed with this competition. He is even willing to forcefully change his fighting style. He should probably regard this competition as a life-saving straw.
But……
Brother Qin, do you know that it is easy to change a country but hard to change its nature? Your character is your greatest weakness.
Fang Qi lowered his waist and calmly avoided the opponent's unexpected move, and did not care about the bunch of hair that was severely chopped off.
The next moment, Fang Qi's sword hit Qin Ling's back at a strange angle. The force was quite strong. If it hit, he would probably suffer serious internal injuries and would definitely bleed.
Although Qin Ling has noticed it, he can't escape. If he escapes, it will only be the next round of suppression.
In this case, he would just take advantage of this offensive... Qin Ling gritted his teeth and forced the sword to change direction, trying to control the sword to stab Fang Qi in the back.
Now it depends on who can move faster and knock down the opponent first. Of course, there may also be a lose-lose outcome.
God still favored Qinling. His sword seemed to be faster and was about to stab Zhong Fang in the lower back. With this stab, their situation may be reversed, because Fang Qi may move because of the pain.
However, at this time, Fang Fang took action. It wasn't the sword that moved, but the person who moved. His body moved slightly to the side, and then the sword Qin Ling originally pointed at his waist was pointed directly at his heart.
If he didn't stop, Fang Qi would directly ascend to heaven with this sword thrust. How could Qin Ling do this? How could he do it?
No matter how much he hates the other person, he can't take away a person's life. He couldn't just watch Fang Qi be accidentally killed like this, he would never be able to forgive himself in his life. What's more, he was once friends with the other party.
Even if he didn't hold him accountable afterwards, how could he allow himself to make such a serious mistake?
There are rules for the sword competition, regardless of death or injury, because everyone voluntarily participates in the competition to compete for fame and fortune. Since it is a kendo competition, death and injury are inevitable, so the rules of the competition do not allow for accountability.
Therefore, if Qin Ling accidentally killed Fang Qi at the scene, he would not be responsible. Of course, the premise is that the two of them were fighting legitimately and did not use any underhanded tactics. Otherwise, the family of the deceased can still be held accountable.
But how could Qinling do this? He gave in and gave up the possibility of victory at this moment. Because he didn't want his sword to drink the blood of this former friend.
In a hurry, and risking the backlash of his spiritual power, Qin Ling hurriedly withdrew his sword, forcefully changed the direction of the sword, and avoided the vital point. After forcibly changing the direction like this, the sword lost control and flew sideways outside the competition arena.
"Tear-"
The sound of flesh being stabbed could be heard in the field. A figure stiffened in mid-air, trembling all over, and bright red blood dripped from the sword.
Fang Qi's sword stabbed Qin Ling in the abdomen.
