As soon as Shi Xiaohan finished speaking, he used his body skills and walked straight to the high platform along the lotus petal-like stairs.
While watching the battle just now, she had already been gearing up and eager to try.
Now, when she saw Jia Xiuguang calling out names on the stage and wanting to challenge Gu Xu, she could no longer hold back her desire to fight.
Everyone's eyes beside Luoshui were focused on her.
They were all waiting for Gu Xu to appear on stage.
Unexpectedly, the person who stepped onto the high platform was a pretty and pretty little girl.
Her petite body formed a very sharp contrast with the one-meter-long machete in her arms.
This made everyone feel a little disappointed, but also very excited.
They were very curious as to whether the girl with the sword in her arms would have the upper hand in the upcoming competition, or whether Jia Xiuguang, who mastered a variety of talismans and seals, would be better.
Gu Xu was not worried about Shi Xiaohan.
Because not only was she a whole level higher than her opponent in cultivation, but she also had a full stomach tonight and was filled with layers of the "Seal of Gluttony".
Gu Xu was even a little worried that Shi Xiaohan might not be able to control his strength and kill his opponent by accident.
Fortunately, there are some strong men from the Imperial Guard hidden around the high platform - they all have the fifth and sixth realms of cultivation, and can stop accidents in time when they happen to prevent the Lantern Festival celebrations from turning into a tragedy.
And Gu Xu himself also has the ability of "time".
As long as he is willing, he can save the people in the ring at the most critical moment.
At the same time, Gu Xu also felt more and more that the identity of Qi Yan, the young man in white, was extraordinary——
He has a graceful temperament, an extraordinary conversation, and understands the uncommon knowledge of spiritual practice.
In addition, he also used this understatement to analyze the reasons behind Jia Xiuguang's choice to challenge himself publicly; he also did not shy away from talking about Longmen Academy, which is regarded by outsiders as a holy place for spiritual practice.
The most important thing is that the Daqi court's commendation and new appointment of Gu Xu have not been made public at this time.
Where did Qi Yan hear this "gossip" from?
It's not like he just made it up, right?
…………
The gongs and drums sounded, and the competition began.
Gu Xu temporarily put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind and focused his attention on the golden high platform in the center of Luoshui.
Shi Xiaohan had already drawn out the "Kunwu Sword" and held it tightly in his hand.
Under the lights of the city, the blade glowed red, like solidified flames.
"Yishui Shi Xiaohan, please enlighten me!" She nodded slightly to Jia Xiuguang opposite, her expression focused and serious.
"Yishui..." Jia Xiuguang thought for two seconds, then looked at her and said, "Girl, are you from the same hometown as Mr. Gu?"
"I work in the same yamen as him."
"So you are here to fight for him?" At this point, Jia Xiuguang sighed and shook his head slightly, "I thought Master Gu was a fearless hero, but I didn't expect that he would let a girl Come and stand up for him. It’s really a little disappointing.”
Shi Xiaohan did not continue to argue with him.
She pursed her lips into a straight line, swung the machete in her hand, and struck directly at Jia Xiuguang with lightning speed without hesitation.
In the dazzling sword light, the shadow of a Taotie could be vaguely seen.
The powerful power accumulated by the "Taotie Seal" burst out at this moment, making Jia Xiuguang shudder uncontrollably.
He never expected that a petite and cute girl like Shi Xiaohan could use such a majestic sword technique.
He immediately took out the "Golden Light Talisman" he had prepared in advance and tried to build a golden light shield again to block Shi Xiaohan's powerful attack.
However, before this golden shield took shape, it was easily penetrated by Shi Xiaohan's sword - just like tearing a thin piece of paper.
The next second, Jia Xiuguang fell heavily to the ground on his back under the impact of this overbearing sword.
Shi Xiaohan stood beside her, looking down at her, pointing the blade of the "Kunwu Sword" at his throat.
Although the girl is only 1.5 meters tall.
But at this moment, in Jia Xiuguang's eyes, he looked like a giant with infinite strength, or a dangerous and terrifying ancient beast.
"You are too weak," Shi Xiaohan said coldly, "With your entry-level Talisman cultivation, there is no need for Gu Xu to take action himself."
"Entry-level Talisman cultivation..." Jia Xiuguang muttered this sentence silently, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
He has been practicing Fu Tao for more than ten years under the guidance of Fu Tao, a professor at the academy. How could he only be at the "entry level"?
It's a pity that he lost to Shi Xiaohan, so he was naturally not qualified to refute the opponent's words.
"I give up." He said helplessly.
Light burst out from the center of the high platform.
There are lanterns, drums and music playing all around.
The people on the shore of Luoshui cheered for the winner.
Especially the winner was a beautiful little girl, which made them even more excited.
Shi Xiaohan held the Kunwu knife that was as red as fire, walked to the railing, raised his chin high, and could not hide the proud mood on his face.
And her eyes were searching for a familiar figure among the bustling crowd.
Soon, she saw Gu Xu standing next to the railing.
Gu Xu smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing small white tiger teeth.
As for Jia Xiuguang, he walked along the suspended stairs and returned to the stage in dejection.
No one pays attention to losers.
"The sword is unsheathed, the red light is as bright as flames. The red cheeks are stationed in Changchun, and the green servant girl is lightly wiping the clouds..."
The melodious singing echoed over Luohe River again.
Literati and poets immediately wrote poems for her that fit the occasion.
As the new champion, Shi Xiaohan stood on the high platform with his head held high, waiting for the new challenger.
…………
"Master Gu, I really didn't expect that a martial art like "Overlord Sword Technique" could exert such terrifying power in the hands of a colleague of yours," Qi Yan, the young man in white, immediately recognized the sword used by Shi Xiaohan. Fa, "If I guessed correctly, when she was promoted to the third level, she should have awakened a powerful magical power that can increase the lethality of her moves.
"Master Gu, am I right?"
Gu Xu nodded and did not deny it.
"Overlord Sword Technique" is the most proficient martial art that Shi Xiaohan has mastered.
The essence of this martial arts is just like its name, simple, rough, and domineering——
"No matter what kind of powerful enemy I encounter, I will kill him with one blow."
Paired with Shi Xiaohan's "Taotie Seal", the effect is excellent.
At this moment, a new challenger climbed onto the high platform and came to Shi Xiaohan.
ps: Sorry, I got off work too late today, and I was a little delirious from staying up late yesterday. This chapter is a little short. Qaq, the remaining half will be made up tomorrow. There will also be additional updates during the National Day.
