Ji Beichen didn't know what everyone in the audience was thinking. When he saw He Zhixing agreeing to lend the monks to the Scorpion, he agreed to a duel between the two, and then walked towards Mu Xiyao who was next to the ring.
Ji Beichen cupped his hands towards Mu Xiyao and said, "Sister Mu is fine, thank you for your help just now."
Mu Xiyao did not know that Ji Beichen would appear at the sword trial meeting, nor did she expect that Ji Beichen would be a junior swordsman from the Cangxu sect. He suddenly transformed into Young Master Chen of Cangzhou City.
Mu Xiyao's last impression of Ji Beichen still lingered on Lin Yuan Peak. At that time, she was ordered by her master to surround and suppress Ji Beichen together with Lu Aotian, forcing him to hand over the sacred objects of the Demon Sect.
That day, she witnessed Ji Beichen being forced to fall to the bottom of the cliff, which made Mu Xiyao heartbroken for a long time. Later, she heard that although Ji Beichen was seriously injured, he was rescued by Yan Yueli of Yan Yuezong. Yan Yueli took good care of him and helped Ji Beichen heal his injuries. Now he has recovered as before. The relationship between them has also become closer and closer.
However, Mu Xiyao knew that her fate with Ji Beichen was broken. Although she was unwilling to do so, she had no choice but to do so.
At this moment, Mu Xiyao saw Ji Beichen's familiar face again, and his figure was stronger than before, which made her yearn for it. However, she could only suppress her feelings.
Mu Xiyao stood up slightly and greeted Ji Beichen politely: "Mr. Chen, long time no see. Just now I just felt that the atmosphere on the stage was too tense, so I played a piece of music to add some joy to the venue. Unexpectedly, I was beaten by Elder Jie Xie Misunderstood."
When Ji Beichen heard Mu Xiyao call him "Mr. Chen", he knew in his heart that the relationship between the two was no longer what it used to be.
Ji Beichen smiled and said to Mu Xiyao: "Achen has caused trouble for Sister Mu. Sister Mu should have heard the opinions put forward by Elder Qian. Achen didn't want to disturb his sister, but because everyone wanted to do it, Achen had to go ahead. Come and ask Sister Mu for help.”
Mu Xiyao understood that what Ji Beichen said was for her to have a two-on-one battle with Elder Scorpion, and she immediately responded: "This is not a difficult matter. I am a guilty person, and Mu Yao The princess's kindness allowed me to participate in the sword trial competition as the guardian of the Kenshinkoto.
As a defender, you need to fight. I just didn't expect to join forces with Mr. Chen, so I went to change my clothes and get ready to play. "
When Ji Beichen saw that Mu Xiyao agreed to participate in the battle, he saluted her with clasped fists and watched her leave backstage.
The perfect combination of sword cultivator and piano cultivator, fighting against the demon sect and gang monks, is already very interesting. In particular, Ji Beichen and Mu Xiyao, a couple who once had the "joy of marriage", are particularly attractive. Even before the competition started, everyone in the audience was full of expectations, hoping that this pair of beautiful people could interpret a different kind of "love".
Ji Beichen stood under the stage waiting for Mu Xiyao. He was full of determination at this time. He knew that in this battle, he could only win, not fail.
If he wins, firstly, he can crush the arrogance of the Huanmie Sect, satisfy the wishes of the monks in the audience, and let them know that the monks in Cangzhou are not as easy to bully as they thought.
Secondly, it can completely crush the Changyang Gang's calculations. The most important thing is that it can clearly show the attitude of Mu Mansion, which is incompatible with the Huanmie Sect, and completely breaks with the Changyang Gang. Therefore, no matter what, he must win this battle!
Mu Xiyao calmed down her mood, walked out from the backstage, and immediately saw Ji Beichen standing under the stage waiting for her.
When she was backstage, she kept struggling in her heart, because today she represented not only herself, but also Qiongzhou City and Princess Mu Yao.
Before Mu Xiyao left, Princess Mu Yao entrusted her with an important task. She knew that this time, she could only win, not fail. This is the responsibility she shoulders and the promise she makes to Princess Mu Yao.
However, Mu Xiyao faced a difficult choice at this moment. She had to choose between the persistence of the right path and the order of her master. She was struggling in her heart backstage, but when she saw Ji Beichen standing in the audience, waiting for her, she immediately made up her mind and strengthened her belief!
Facing Ji Beichen, Mu Xiyao showed a smile she hadn't seen for many days, and this smile made Ji Beichen fascinated. He seemed to have gone back to the time when the two of them first met, at the piano listening party under the lush peach trees. Mu Xiyao was wearing an emerald green smoked gauze flower skirt, with a smile blooming like a flower, and the beautiful and smooth voice of Mu Xiyao!
The formal competition in the ring began, and everyone's eyes turned to the stage. They were surprised to find that the monk following Elder Scorpion turned out to be Qiu Bairen, the deputy leader of the Changyang Gang.
Everyone was puzzled because Qiu Bairen's skills were not the highest. To be honest, his skills were not even as good as those of ordinary casual cultivators.
Qiu Bairen is just a monk who has established a human foundation, and his cultivation level is not even the slightest bit different from Ji Beichen and Elder Scorpion, who have established a foundation in the earth realm. Compared with Mu Xiyao, who is also in the golden elixir Dzogchen stage of authentic foundation building, there is a huge difference.
When everyone was puzzled, Elder Scorpion led Qiu Bairen onto the ring.
When Qiu Bairen saw Ji Beichen on the stage, he said with a playful smile on his face: "Master Chen, you are always accompanied by a beautiful woman, which makes a rough guy like me very envious!"
After saying this, Qiu Bairen looked at Mu Xiyao unscrupulously. Seeing that Mu Xiyao was wearing clothes that exposed her arms, he looked greedily at Mu Xiyao's pair of jade arms.
Ji Beichen was originally not interested in Qiu Bairen's words, but when he saw Qiu Bairen shamelessly coveting Mu Xiyao in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a hint of displeasure in his heart.
Ji Beichen held the Cangxu Sword, stepped forward quickly, blocked in front of Mu Xiyao, and said coldly to Qiu Bairen: "Sister Mu is such a noble being, someone like you is not worthy of being close to her!"
Qiu Bairen didn't expect that Ji Beichen, who had always been submissive, would actually say something to him in front of so many people today, and he couldn't stand it for a moment.
Seeing Qiu Bairen's face turn red with anger, Elder Jie Xie was worried that he would lose face and refuse to compete on stage. He quickly said: "Forget it, Deputy Gang Leader Qiu, we will defeat Young Master Chen later. Let's see if he dares then." Don’t dare to be harsh!”
Qiu Bairen didn't understand why Elder Scorpion chose him as his helper, because he was not good at martial arts. The reason why he became the deputy gang leader was entirely because he had He Zhixing's handle.
Therefore, Qiu Bairen held his fire attribute Demon-Slaying Hundred-edged Knife tightly in his hand and felt uneasy in his heart.
Ji Beichen hated Qiu Bairen deeply. He was also involved in the Mu Mansion incident that year, and successfully ascended to the position of deputy gang leader due to this incident. Now seeing Qiu Bairen coming to his door, Ji Beichen secretly made up his mind to defeat these two people.
With the sound of a gong, the competition officially began. Ji Beichen nodded to Mu Xiyao who was standing aside, and then held the Cangxu Sword and started a fierce battle with Elder Jie Xie and Qiu Bai Ren.
Mu Xiyao, on the other hand, stood behind the ring, using the power of her true energy to support the Jianxin Qin in mid-air, gently touching the strings with her hands, and playing the famous song "Crouching Dragon's Song".
I saw that Ji Beichen's swordsmanship was not intense at the beginning, and both Elder Scorpion and Qiu Bairen could handle it easily. But as the melody of the piano music accelerated, Ji Beichen's swordsmanship also began to accelerate.
At the same time, Jian Xin Qin accompanied Mu Xiyao's playing and released a powerful spiritual attack on the two people opposite. However, this attack by the sound of the piano did not leave any traces. Everyone could only see the changes in Ji Beichen's body movements, which seemed to echo the sound of the piano, constantly flying up and down.
At this time, the monks in the audience suddenly realized and immediately saw the tacit cooperation between the two from Ji Beichen's sword moves. Some monks who knew the music even closed their eyes, listened intently to the music, and gradually understood the secret of the sword. Through the changes in the rhythm, they can hear the changes in the sword style.
Sometimes the sound of the piano sounds like thousands of troops, sometimes ambushes on all sides, sometimes stormy waves, sometimes undercurrents against the current. Each string and pillar is a sword, a forest of swords, a rain of swords, or thousands of swords united into one, stabbing or chopping, cutting or chopping, the changes are endless, endless...
Everyone marveled at Mu Xiyao's outstanding piano skills. Her magical melodic attacks complemented Ji Beichen's impeccable Cangxu swordsmanship, leaving Elder Jie Xie and deputy gang leader Qiu Bairen unable to fight back.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Elder Scorpion hurriedly stepped forward and touched Qiu Bairen's left arm. In less than a stick of incense, Qiu Bairen's body changed.
The first thing to change was Qiu Bairen's arm. The left arm that Elder Scorpion touched suddenly became extremely itchy, and a black hard shell grew on the skin.
As the hard shell continued to grow, Qiu Bairen's palm turned into a giant pincer, and his right arm also began to shed, harden, turn black, and grow a black hard shell.
When everyone saw Qiu Bairen's arms turned into pliers, they suddenly realized: "It turns out to be a scorpion! Deputy Gang Leader Qiu's arms turned into scorpion's pliers!"
After Ji Beichen saw the changes in front of him, he immediately stopped attacking and retreated behind Mu Xiyao to protect her.
Mu Xiyao was so frightened by Qiu Bairen's sudden change that she turned pale. She looked at Ji Beichen protecting herself and asked quickly: "Achen, what kind of skill is that? I have never heard of it!"
Seeing that Mu Xiyao was frightened, Ji Beichen comforted him softly: "This is a poison technique. Qiu Bairen has already been poisoned. Sister Mu, please go down first and leave the rest to me!"
After Ji Beichen finished speaking, he gently held Mu Xiyao's wrist, led her to the edge of the ring, and then sent her off the ring.
Mu Xiyao was escorted off the ring by Ji Beichen. She looked at Ji Beichen beside her and couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. She turned around and grabbed Ji Beichen's hand tightly, and warned: "Achen, you have to be careful, you can't get into trouble again!"
Ji Beichen raised his head and glanced at Mu Xiyao, nodded slightly, said nothing, and turned back to the ring.
