When the big head praised Changsheng for his undefeated streak and his invincibility, the rich ladies on both sides of the square had a lot of disdain on their faces. They had long known that Changsheng was Ni Chenyi's chosen husband. Most women thought like this. As long as they got it Anything less than that is bad.
Ni Chenyi also regrets that Changsheng won the big prize as her opponent. She has confidence in Changsheng and knows that no matter who the opponent is, Changsheng will definitely not lose.
Datou was grateful for the generous gift from the Ni family. Knowing that Ni Chenyi was watching the game, he did not forget to give Ni Chenyi a fist in greeting when the game ended.
The competition continued, and by this time most of the martial arts warriors had calmed down, and there were fewer and fewer flashy moves during the competition.
Since weapons are not allowed in today's competition, there are also more dangers and variables. Since the swords have no eyes, and they are all young people, they cannot control the scale and heat as they wish. From time to time, people are injured and bloody.
As long as one is not kicked off the ring or voluntarily admits defeat, the competition will continue. Even if one party is injured and loses the prize, they will not give in easily. In the eyes of everyone, no one can afford to lose that person. In some games, it is even a matter of life and death. situation.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the three examiners hurriedly opened an envelope, which was also sealed with candle teardrops. After opening it and reading it, they loudly announced that anyone who hurt their opponent's life, whether intentionally or unintentionally, would be fined. field.
With restraint, casualties were reduced. Changsheng had already won and stood on the north side, very close to the examiner. He could clearly see the movements of the examiners just now. What the Minister of Rites read was the Holy Edict, but in the competition, They did not take it out immediately before starting, nor did they open the envelope, which showed that the emperor had already told them that they could not open the envelope unless they found that the situation was out of control.
The emperor's purpose of doing this was undoubtedly to reduce constraints so that both sides of the battle could do their best. The emperor also expected that the situation would probably get out of control in the end, and thought of countermeasures in advance.
Through some previous details, Changsheng had discovered that the current emperor was thoughtful and very suspicious. This time it confirmed his guess and judgment. The emperor was able to look far ahead, was very suspicious, and lacked trust in the people below him.
Thinking of this, Chang Sheng was vaguely worried. As an emperor, it is a good thing to be careful and meticulous, but it is not good to be suspicious. Suspicious people can easily accuse good people unjustly.
However, considering that the situation in the current dynasty was complicated and the eunuchs were in charge of power, he could understand the emperor's suspicion. After all, there were many officials below who did not share his heart.
Even with the restriction of not injuring people's lives, it was not completely eliminated that both sides of the battle would be cruel. In the nineteen battles that followed, the black and red teams carried seven or eight people down, and they were seriously injured and could no longer fight. .
Changsheng originally thought that these delicate young ladies would not be able to endure the hardship, and some of them would leave midway. He never thought that none of them would leave, and had been watching nervously from the side. In fact, after the first round, they already had rough candidates in mind, and they all wanted to watch. See if the person you choose can fight to the end.
Thirty people will be eliminated in the first round. Whether they surrendered voluntarily or left due to injuries, they are all among the thirty people who lost. Therefore, there are thirty people left in the game, and the black lottery team has twelve left. There are only eighteen people left in the red lottery team.
The examiner announced the rules for the second round, leaving one red lottery tube, thirty red lottery sticks, one versus two, three versus four, and so on.
The longevity draw was number two, and Yang Kai's draw was fifteen.
The two arenas started at the same time. The opponent in Changsheng's battle was a young man, probably between seventeen and eighteen years old. His name was Lu Ting'an, the young master of Shenjian Villa.
Shenjian Villa is located on Jiangnan East Road. When he was in Longhu Mountain, Chang Sheng once heard someone talk about Shenjian Villa. Since he didn't pay attention to it that day, he only vaguely remembered that the swordsmanship of Shenjian Villa was very powerful. As for who the owner of the villa was, , I don’t know what kind of sword technique he used.
Lu Ting'an was a southerner, and his body and appearance also had Jiangnan characteristics. He was of medium height, slightly thin, with delicate features and quite elegant.
Lu Ting'an came to the stage with a sword, and Changsheng didn't care much about it. He walked up the steps with the Hanyue Sword in his hand.
Today, the imperial court does not ban weapons in martial arts competitions, but this is actually to strive for fairness, because many people have practiced weapons for many years.
Chang Sheng was good at close quarters and fast attacks, and weapons were not his strong point. He brought a knife to the stage not because he wanted to compete with Lu Ting'an in weapons, but because he had other plans.
Before the gong sounded, Changsheng slowly raised his hand, grabbed the scabbard, and showed Lu Ting'an the Hanyue Sword in his hand.
Lu Ting'an looked solemn, frowning and looking at the Hanyue Sword in Changsheng's hand.
The gong sounded, and Changsheng used a little force to insert the Hanyue Sword and the scabbard into the ring.
This move showed that he did not want to use weapons, but he did not completely give up using weapons, because his right arm reached down and his fingers were stretched out, only two inches away from the handle of the knife.
Changsheng had clearly revealed his intentions and showed his Hanyue Sword to Lu Ting'an in advance. He hoped that Lu Ting'an would give up using weapons and fight with him with bare hands.
One of the two sides is good at close combat with bare hands, and the other is good at using weapons. Fighting with Lu Ting'an with weapons is for Chang Sheng to use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths. For giving up weapons to fight with Chang Sheng's bare hands, for Lu Ting'an, it is also to use his own strength. Attack the enemy's strengths with a short attack.
Changsheng gave Lu Ting'an a choice, but Lu Ting'an still chose to draw his sword and attack.
Lu Ting'an chose to use weapons, but Changsheng was not in a hurry to draw his sword. Instead, he faced him with his bare hands, advancing and retreating.
It must be said that Lu Ting'an's swordsmanship is truly mysterious, his attacks are fierce, and his rules are meticulous. For three consecutive rounds, Chang Sheng could not find any loopholes in Lu Ting'an's swordsmanship.
However, the only martial arts in the world that can only be defeated by speed, whether you are using weapons or fighting with bare hands, whoever is faster will seize the opportunity, and whoever is slow will fall behind and be beaten. In the fourth round, Changsheng finally got close. Every inch longer and stronger is based on As long as the opponent keeps a certain distance, once the opponent gets up close and personal, the weapon is useless. It is more than three feet long and it is inconvenient to fight back.
A right arm elbow strike, followed by a step step, keeping a close distance from Lu Ting'an, and then another left arm elbow strike, followed by a step step. Before Lu Ting could stabilize his position, he rotated close to the body, back to back.
At this time, Changsheng did not continue to make quick attacks and make up for his moves, but stayed close to Lu Ting'an's back. When Lu Ting'an moved sideways, he also moved sideways. When Lu Ting'an turned around, he turned around, following him like a shadow, never leaving.
After several attempts to get rid of it, Lu Ting became anxious and stepped on the ground to use his strength to raise his energy.
Changsheng was close to Lu Ting'an at this time. As soon as Lu Ting'an bent his knees, he knew that Lu Ting'an was going to step on the ground to use his strength, so when Lu Ting'an lifted up, he also left the ground, still staying close to Lu Ting'an.
The opponent is right behind him, which means that the opponent can take action at any time. What scares Lu Ting'an the most is that Changsheng is not facing him, but has his back to him. Even with his back to him, he can still match his movements. Being consistent, this shows that immortality not only leaves a lot of energy, but also leaves a lot.
Changsheng's move was not to humiliate the other party, but to hope that the other party would admit defeat. However, Lu Ting'an was young and energetic, and had never been defeated before. He took the victory or defeat very seriously, and became angry, twisting his waist and slashing from mid-air to force Changsheng back. , turned to dive and thrust, taking the opportunity to attack.
Changsheng collected his energy and landed on the ground. He dodged calmly while slowly retreating. He didn't rush out with his right fist until he reached the place where he was standing before and attacked Lu Ting'an's front door fiercely.
Lu Ting'an sensed this and immediately struck back with his sword, breaking his wrist.
What Lu Ting'an didn't expect was that Chang Sheng's move was actually a false move. Its purpose was just to lure him to raise his sword. When he raised his sword, Chang Sheng immediately retracted his right fist and at the same time stood up. He raised his head, shot out his right foot, and vigorously kicked the hilt of the sword in his hand.
Lu Ting'an shook his wrist and raised the sword. His grip on the sword was weak. Changsheng kicked it with his right foot, and the sword immediately flew away from his hand and flew straight to a high place.
Before Lu Ting'an could react, Chang Sheng had already taken advantage of the upward kick with his right foot and flipped over on the spot. Facing Lu Ting'an again, he quickly reached out with his left arm, stretched out his five fingers, grabbed Lu Ting'an's collar, spun sharply on the spot with added force, and directly Throwing Lu Ting'an off the field.
He did not knock Lu Ting'an off the ring or kicked him off the ring, which was a sign of giving the opponent face, but what he did next did not give the opponent face. After throwing Lu Ting'an off the ring, he immediately reached out and pulled out the Hanyue Sword. , looked up to determine the position and speed of the falling sword of the opponent, and then swung the sword with his backhand, directly cutting off the long sword used by Lu Ting'an.
Seeing Chang Sheng cut off the opponent's long sword, people inside and outside the square screamed. In fact, Lu Ting'an had already been thrown off the ring by him at this time, and the winner was decided. The reason why Chang Sheng cut off the opponent's long sword was just to tell all the people watching. He uses a magical weapon, which can completely cut off the opponent's weapon from the beginning and knock the opponent off the ring.
Just as everyone screamed, what happened next made everyone feel that they didn't scream loud enough, because the long sword cut off by Chang Sheng was split into two, and the blade flew to the northwest and penetrated straight into The blue brick in front of Ni Chenyi, and the hilt of the sword flew to the southwest and landed in front of Lu Ting'an. To achieve this, strength, timing, and accuracy are all indispensable.
The sudden flying sword startled Ni Chenyi. She didn't know that Changsheng was taking the opportunity to show his strength to everyone. After coming back to her senses, she just thought that Changsheng was confessing to her in public. She was so happy and filled with sweetness.
Although Lu Ting'an knew that Changsheng's move was retaliation for not heeding his warning when he started the attack, he still felt a little embarrassed on his face. He raised his hand with an angry look and said loudly to Changsheng, "I'm not as good as others. I will definitely come to ask for advice someday."
Hearing Lu Ting'an's words, Changsheng knew that a personal feud had been formed and said coldly, "We are waiting."
Lu Ting'an rolled his sleeves and snorted coldly, and left the scene angrily.
The gong sounds, and Changsheng wins.
Seeing Lu Ting'an leave the field angrily, Chang Sheng frowned secretly. This situation was also expected by him. As long as they fight again, there will definitely be hatred, and the next fight will definitely be more brutal. The worse the fight, the more likely it is to offend the person. The more ruthless he is, the more he is not afraid of offending people, but he also doesn't want to offend people for no reason.
After the gong sounded, Changsheng stepped down from the ring, and at the same time he raised his voice and said, "You guys have been fighting for three days, and I have been fighting for four days in a row. I am exhausted physically and mentally. If I fight again tomorrow, the attack will definitely not be serious. If I am seriously injured and disabled, Don’t blame me.”
As soon as Chang Sheng said this, everyone was in an uproar. Chang Sheng's implication was very obvious, that is, in the duel tomorrow, he hoped that his opponent would take the initiative to admit defeat, and he would cripple anyone who dared to attack him.
It is easier for a wolf disguised as a dog to win the favor of others, but Chang Sheng's words directly exposed his wolf fangs. Everyone was talking and whispering, saying that he was young, energetic, arrogant and arrogant.
Changsheng knew that people would scold him for being arrogant, but he didn't care what these people thought, because it was an extremely smart move for him to do so.
Today, a total of fifteen people were promoted to the second class. Tomorrow, the competition will be for the top three of the first class. The method of play has been announced before. It is a draw and the battle will be completed one by one. All of these people in the second class will be offended. From now on, these people will be from the fifth class. Military attachés of rank and above must work together. If they are all offended, they will not be able to meet each other again...
