Tianxiang was hesitating at this time, whether he should continue to fight for a while or immediately feign defeat and withdraw from the competition. If you delay for a long time and your identity as a girl is discovered, it will be bad.
At this moment, Ma Xiang tried his best to use the "snow-covered mountains" of Kaihua Mountain Sword Sect, and the sword shadows flew, covering Tianxiang in a cold light.
Tianxiang felt it was the right time, so she immediately pretended to be in a hurry, barely resisted a few moves, and then retreated. Just as Ma Xiang was about to continue to step forward, Tian Xiang quickly said: "Master Ma, wait a minute!"
Ma Xiang was stunned, stopped immediately, and asked doubtfully: "Young Master Ximen, do you have any questions?"
Tianxiang deliberately pretended to be serious and said: "Ma Shaoxia has great swordsmanship, and I know that I am no match for him. In this competition, I will admit defeat!" After saying that, Tianxiang bowed his hands towards Ma Xiang, turned around and left the ring.
Ma Xiang surrounded Feiyun and attacked with more than 30 moves, using Hengshan Sword School's "Furong Sword Technique" and "Zhu Rong Sword Technique", but he was still unable to break through Feiyun's sword net.
Ma Xiang just rushed to attack, revealing several flaws between his sword moves. Although Feiyun saw it, he didn't take advantage of it. Firstly, it was because he didn't know whether the opponent did this intentionally, secondly, Feiyun wanted to see more of the opponent's various wonderful moves, and thirdly, if he defeated the opponent too quickly, it would appear that Hengshan's swordsmanship was too bad, and he would inevitably offend the entire Hengshan sect. .
Feiyun has a good impression of Ma Xiang and doesn't want to embarrass him too much. As a result, the two men were fighting inextricably for a while, and the two men danced their swords vigorously, with swords going back and forth, which was extremely tense and intense. The laymen in the audience naturally thought it was very good-looking, but the expert experts could naturally see that Feiyun intended to fight, and that Ma Xiang's martial arts and swordsmanship were slightly inferior to Zhong Xingchu's.
Feihong also saw the problem and murmured: "Brother, what's going on? Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity?" Han Shizhong said softly: "It seems that Feiyun wants to see more of the uniqueness of Hengshan's swordsmanship, so he has been unwilling to do so." Counterattack. You might as well take the opportunity to learn about his sword moves." Feihong said "Oh" before he understood and said, "Grandpa Han taught me." Feihong stopped talking and focused on looking at Ma Xiang's sword. trick.
The two people on the ring had exchanged hundreds of moves at this time, and they were still evenly matched. However, Ma Xiang became more and more anxious, because no matter how his sword moves changed, he still couldn't do anything to Feiyun who persisted. After all, Ma Xiang is only over 20 years old, and his proficiency in sword moves is limited. If he still can't win after using these moves, he will have to use the moves he used again. In this way, it is very easy for the opponent to see the flaw.
Ma Xiang felt anxious and his sword moves were a little out of shape. If the person he faces has average martial arts, it won't be a big deal. Feiyun is a master who has practiced swordsmanship for more than ten years, so he can naturally tell at a glance.
Feiyun saw Ma Xiang using the "Goose Falling in the Sky" move again, and slashed down from top to bottom with his long sword. Because Ma Xiang had used it once, Feiyun knew that he would be followed by another move, "Ping Sha Luo Yan", and the long sword changed from a straight slash to a sweeping move. But when Ma Xiang made the switch, a big flaw appeared in his side. Feiyun no longer hesitated at this moment, and with a flick of his wrist, his long sword shook away Ma Xiang's sword, then he changed his move into "straight into the tiger's den", and the gentleman's sword stabbed towards Ma Xiang's side like lightning.
Ma Xiang's sword was deflected by the shock at this moment. It was too late to retract the sword and defend himself, and his face changed greatly in shock. Seeing that the gentleman's sword was about to hit his side, Feiyun suddenly took the sword back. Ma Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that the other party was showing mercy and did not want to embarrass himself.
Of course, Feiyun drew and retracted his sword very quickly, and ordinary people couldn't tell that the winner was decided. Ma Xiang immediately took two steps back, bowed, and said: "Xia Shaoxia has great martial arts skills and is no match for me. Thank you for showing mercy just now and saving face for Wenhe Hengshan Sword Sect!"
Feiyun quickly returned the salute and said, "Brother Ma, you're welcome. Hengshan's swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary, but I'm just taking a risk and getting lucky. We have no chance of winning or losing, so why should Brother Ma admit defeat?" Ma Xiang shook his head and said: " As a man, if you lose, you lose. What's more, if you lose at the hands of the young hero, Ma Xiang is convinced. The young hero's comprehensive virtues will definitely be reciprocated when we meet again in the future." After Ma Xiang finished speaking, he turned around without waiting for Feiyun to reply. He jumped up and flew towards Leixia. Feiyun gave him his hand and said loudly: "Thank you Ma Shaoxia for letting me go. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely have a drink with Brother Ma."
After Feiyun finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Wang Gui. Wang Gui understood, so he walked to the stage and shouted: "Is there any other hero who wants to go on stage and have a try? Please enter the ring!" However, there was no movement under the ring. Wang Gui shouted several times, still the same. People with poor martial arts skills will naturally not dare to humiliate themselves, and people who consider themselves to be strong in martial arts will not take action at this moment. After all, Feiyun has already had two fierce battles, so coming up now would be a bit opportunistic. Even if you win, it's not glorious enough. If you lose, it will be even more embarrassing.
Wang Gui saw that no one came up for the challenge, so he had no choice but to say to Feiyun: "Xia Shaoxia, I think you should go to the back and rest for a while. When someone comes up for the challenge, you can come over. What do you think?" No one came up in Feiyunxin. , it was indeed boring to stand alone on the stage, so he nodded. Wang Gui immediately pointed towards the back and said, "Please, Young Master Xia!"
Feiyun looked in the direction of Wang Gui's finger. There was a small tent not far to the left of Miss Hanxiang's tent with a chair underneath. Feiyun cupped his hands towards Wang Gui and walked over. When I got to the tent, I turned around and sat down. This tent is not facing the ring, but is tilted. Therefore, sitting on the chair, you can see the situation in front of the ring, and you can also see Miss Hanxiang.
Feiyun didn't come here to attract a bride, so he didn't even look at Hanxiang. After sitting down, close your eyes and do your exercises and adjust your breath. Although the battle with Ma Xiang just now did not consume much internal energy, now that there is a chance to recover, Feiyun will naturally not give up. Feiyun adjusted his breath, but still no one came up.
At this time, it was almost west, and the sun was setting in the west. Feiyun stood up and walked to Wang Gui in front of the ring. When Wang Gui saw him, he said: "Young Master Xia, it seems that no one has come up today. I wonder where Young Master Xia lives? I will ask Quanzi to pick you up early tomorrow morning." Feiyun shook his head and said indifferently: "No, I will do it myself." Come here." Wang Gui also felt that Feiyun's attitude towards him was unkind. Although he didn't know why, he didn't say anything to ask. He just said: "In that case, we will be waiting here at Chenshi tomorrow." Feiyun nodded.
Wang Gui turned around to face the ring and said loudly: "Everyone, today's ring competition ends here, please come back tomorrow!" After hearing what he said, Feiyun immediately jumped, flew off the ring, and landed floatingly on the ground. Feihong took a few steps forward and said, "Brother, congratulations! Congratulations!" Feiyun smiled and said, "What's so gratifying? If I lose tomorrow, just don't blame me!" Yu Dan came over and said, "Tomorrow's things will happen tomorrow." Besides, let’s go back to the inn first. How about setting up some wine to celebrate Brother Xia?”
Feiyun asked: "What Miss Dan'er said is, let's go back!" At this time, the crowd under the ring gradually dispersed, and the four of Feiyun also walked quickly towards Deshan Inn. After a while, he returned to the inn and stepped inside. As soon as Shopkeeper Liu saw Feiyun, he smiled all over his face and hurriedly came forward and said, "Congratulations to Brother Xia on your success in the competition. I will serve you a drink today to celebrate!"
Yu Dan smiled at the side and said, "Are you treating the guests, or is it my brother Xia who pays the bill?" Yu Dan has lived here with Han Shizhong for a long time, and has long been familiar with shopkeeper Liu and other waiters, so he speaks without any scruples. Shopkeeper Liu laughed several times, nodded Yu Dan's head with his hand, and said: "You are such a shrewd girl, how long have you known Brother Xia, and yet you think about him? When he comes to my place for dinner, you still think about him?" I don’t know where it is! Are you attracted to him and want to save money for him? "
Yu Dan's face suddenly turned red, and he said in a coquettish voice: "Shopkeeper, you are so disrespectful, you actually made fun of me! You are not afraid that I will slap your mouth!" Shopkeeper Liu saw that she was shy, so he patted her mouth gently and said: "You don't need to do anything, girl, I'll punish myself. Don't worry, girl, I'll treat you to this meal for free." There was a master staying in his shop, who was also his acquaintance, which invisibly increased the reputation of his inn. , Shopkeeper Liu was naturally excited.
At this time, other people in the store also came over to congratulate Feiyun, who quickly thanked him. Shopkeeper Liu immediately invited the four of them to sit down and ordered the waiter to prepare the best food and wine. Feiyun said: "Shopkeeper Liu, we can't let you spend money. Miss Dan'er was just joking with you, you don't have to take it seriously. We will settle the bill ourselves." Shopkeeper Liu said unhappily: "Brother Xia , we are also old acquaintances, why don't you give me this little face? If you refuse again, you will be slapping me in the face!" Feiyun said: "This..."
Han Shizhong interjected and said: "Feiyun, I think Shopkeeper Liu also means something, so don't refuse. Isn't it just a table of wine and food? Why take it so seriously." Feihong also advised: "What Grandpa Han said, brother, is it possible?" If Shopkeeper Liu is interested, you don’t have to refuse. Shopkeeper Liu, thank you very much! By the way, how did you know so quickly? "
Shopkeeper Liu saw their agreement and said happily: "Brother Luo is so happy! You are people who travel in the world, so you should not stick to trivial matters. We are not the only ones who know about this matter, I am afraid it has spread throughout the city. That Zhong Shaoxia has been undefeated for days, I It's eye-catching. Brother Xia defeated him in one fell swoop. Such shocking news spread like wildfire. The two brothers are highly skilled in martial arts, but the old man is really blind and should be punished. Just wait a moment, the food and drinks will be here soon. !" Shopkeeper Liu turned around and left happily.
After a while, the waiter brought the wine and food, and the four of them started drinking happily. Other guests in the store and shopkeeper Liu also came over to toast Feiyun and celebrate. For a while, the inn was bustling with people changing glasses and drinking wine. They continued drinking until they were calm, then dispersed and each had a rest.
When they got up the next day, shopkeeper Liu had already prepared breakfast. Feiyun and the other four ate in a hurry, thanked the shopkeeper, and headed towards the ring. The residents of the Deshan Inn and a few free guys followed suit, wanting to cheer for Feiyun. Feiyun couldn't persuade him, so he had to let them go. Along the way, people kept recognizing Feiyun, loudly encouraging Feiyun, and then joining them.
After all, Feiyun is a native of Dingzhou, so it is naturally easier for him to gain support from everyone. By the time Feiyun and the others arrived at the ring, hundreds of people were already following behind them. As soon as the crowd in front of the ring saw Feiyun approaching, they automatically gave way to a avenue. Feiyun walked down the stage, where Wang Gui and others were already waiting. Feiyun jumped up and stepped onto the ring. He nodded towards Wang Gui, indicating that he could announce the start.
Wang Gui coughed, cleared his throat, and then faced the crowd under the ring and said: "Everyone, today's martial arts competition begins now. If there are any heroes who want to compete in the ring, please come on stage immediately!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was A person flew up to the stage. I saw a handsome young man, about 20 years old, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like bright stars, full of energy, and dressed in brocade clothes. He seemed to be a child of a rich family.
Wang Gui saw that he didn't seem to be a member of the world, so he raised his hands and said, "May I ask what you call me? Do you know the rules of the arena?" The young man hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "I am in Duanqing. I passed by this place on my study tour and saw the beauty of the girl. I couldn't help but I have a heart of admiration. As for the rules of the ring, Xiaosheng has already inquired and understood." Wang Gui said to Feiyun and Duan Qing: "Then you two, start now, please stop!" After saying that, Wang Gui withdrew.
Although the Duan family royal family lost control of the government and lost power, the Duan family's martial arts has been passed down continuously. The martial arts of the emperors in the past dynasties were not weak. According to the royal family of Dali, the direct lineage of the royal family is to learn civil and martial arts at the age of six, to be good at riding and shooting at the age of ten, to practice military formations and drills at the age of thirteen, to write poetry and writing at the age of fifteen, and to be able to lead troops in military affairs. Those who are incompetent will not be able to become a prince, although it is difficult for him to become a prince. For the throne, a person from the royal family who is versatile in civil and military affairs and has good virtues will be recommended as the king. Therefore, everyone in the Duan family of Dali has practiced martial arts since childhood, and there are many martial arts masters in the royal family.
The Gao family is well aware of the Duan family's martial arts prowess and is quite afraid of this. Therefore, as long as the Duan family did not want to regain the power of the court, the Gao family still maintained superficial respect for the Duan family. The two parties often get married and can barely live in peace with each other.
Duan Zhiqing has also been practicing the Duan Family Internal Kung Fu, Duan Family Sword and Yiyang Finger since he was a child, and has profound attainments. Coupled with the guidance of his ancestor Duan Yu, Duan Zhiqing's martial arts has few opponents in Dali. Although he was unable to practice the Duan family's most advanced "Six Meridians Divine Sword" due to limitations in his understanding, aptitude and internal strength, he was able to master Duan Yu's "Lingbo Weibu".
Duan Zhiqing became more confident in his martial arts after watching the competition in the ring for several days in a row. He wanted to compete with Zhong Xingchu in the ring yesterday, but he didn't want to be overtaken by Feihong. Then Feiyun defeated Zhong Xingchu in the ring. He didn't want to take advantage of Feiyun, so as soon as Wang Gui finished speaking, he jumped up and beat him to avoid being overtaken by others again.
After Feiyun waited for Wang Gui to retreat, he turned to Duan Zhiqing, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Young Master Duan is here to invite you. I'm going on this journey with my bare hands, so I guess I want to compete with you?" Duan Zhiqing returned the salute and said, "Young man thinks it's a happy thing to have a martial arts contest to get a bride. , it is not appropriate to swing a sword. If someone is injured because of this, wouldn't it be extremely unlucky? Xia Shaoxia's swordsmanship is superb and can be used at any time. Xiaosheng can use it with his bare hands. After all, everyone has their own strengths, and Xiaosheng can't force others to abandon their strengths and use their weaknesses. . That makes Xiaosheng too selfish, and even if he wins, it will be disgraceful."
