Chapter 63: Fighting Dragon Rock Again
Always acting on impulse, he immediately set off for the post house, preparing to leave Yangzhou and seek another place to level up.
But things are so coincidental, Fei Yun and his friends also want to leave Yangzhou, and Feng Xiao Xiao happens to be leaving at this time, and Yangzhou City just has one post station. As a result, Feng Xiao Xiao and Fei Yun, Long Yan and others had a perfect encounter at the post station.
Both sides fell silent, the wind was blowing gently, and he wasn't very flustered. He confidently thought that the difficulty of escaping with his skills shouldn't be too great. He calmly sized up the opponent, the faces of several people opposite him only showed surprise, except for Long Yan who stared at him tigerishly.
Fei Yun broke the silence first: "So it's Wind Brother, what a coincidence!"
"It's true, it's really a coincidence!"
The conversation suddenly stopped again, and both sides fell into silence, the atmosphere was very awkward.
This time it was the wind that broke the silence. The wind said, "Longyan, let's not mention what happened between us two. What do you want to do now?"
Long Yan sneered: "If you're afraid now, you can run away!"
The wind was blowing gently, unprovoked, and not angry at all. "I think you're afraid I'll run away!"
Fei Yun's voice stopped the two people's meaningless argument: "I've also heard about your affairs, this is your private matter, I originally had no right to ask, but now Long Yan and I are brothers of the same gang, so I have to intervene!"
The wind whispered back to Fei Yun, "What do you mean?"
Fei Yun looked at Long Yan and then at Feng Xiao Xiao, saying: "You two have a one-on-one duel to the death here, I'll be the witness. Let's put the past to rest once and for all. What do you think?"
Long Yan Dao said: "I'm fine now, let's see if he dares or not!"
The wind whispered, unwilling to show weakness, and smiled: "Whatever, it's all right!"
The dialogue between the two was audible to everyone around, and they tactfully gave way to a clearing. Fei Yun also led the rest of the crowd to stand aside, finally calling out to the two: "One battle will decide the outcome, from now on neither of you is allowed to mention past events again!"
Longyan nodded in agreement, and Feng Xiao smiled: "No problem!"
The wind was blowing, and I didn't expect things to turn out this way. It's actually the most satisfactory outcome for me. After one battle, all the troubles will be gone, even if I drop a level, it's worth it. And who knows, maybe I won't even drop a level! This deal is clearly in my favor, since Longyan is already over 70 levels, and dropping a level would be a much greater loss for him than for me. But he actually agreed to it, saying something about being trapped in a circle or whatever. It's just that the few of us met by chance, there's no way we could have set up an ambush. I guess Longyan must have some kind of winning strategy. Whatever, at most I'll just drop one level, no big deal.
Thinking of this, the wind was blowing gently and his mood relaxed a lot. He drew out the "Ruo Xu" sword with a reverse grip and opened up his stance.
The wind was blowing, and this action made the people around him jump in surprise. Everyone had seen Feng Xiao Xiao before, and they had all noticed that he always carried a sword on his back. However, despite several fights, no one had ever seen him use it, so everyone thought it was just for show. Now, he suddenly drew it out, ready to use it, and the sword's greenish tint made it clear that this was no ordinary sword!
For these, Longyan only felt unexpected, without panic. Longyan's confidence in the wind came from several times of hand-to-hand combat with him, and he believed that as long as he was careful, the wind would not be able to hurt himself, even if he drew his sword now, it wouldn't necessarily have any more powerful moves, this sword was indeed extraordinary, but his own Xiyu sword was also a famous divine weapon in the list of military equipment! So for now, the most important thing is still to remain calm and absolutely cannot be careless.
Longyan's eyes stared straight at Feng Xiao's every move, and Feng Xiao saw that Longyan had no intention of making the first move. Unable to hold back any longer, he drew his sword and attacked Longyan. As soon as he made his move, someone shouted out: "Huashan Swordsmanship!"
As a fellow member of the Huashan School, Longyan would certainly recognize it. Seeing that Feng Xiao was using the Huashan swordsmanship, he felt even more at ease, knowing that they shared an understanding that needed no explanation.
But Longyan still underestimated Feng Xiao's speed, now that Feng Xiao has leveled up again, his moves will be greatly enhanced with the help of "Xin Yan", and Longyan's understanding of Feng Xiao is still stuck in their last encounter at the tea house, thinking that even if he had leveled up a few more levels in these few days, it wouldn't make much difference!
However, Longyan had also seen Xiao Yao's moves before, and although Feng Xiangxiao was fast now, he hadn't reached that level yet. So, although it exceeded Longyan's imagination, at least it was still within his cognitive range. More importantly, he understood the Huashan swordsmanship, so blocking Feng Xiangxiao wasn't difficult.
But the swift and rapid movement of Feng Xiao Xiao was something that even the carefree and unrestrained Long Yan did not possess, so for him to try and harm Feng Xiao Xiao would be extremely difficult. Feng Xiao Xiao's attacks were all parried by Long Yan with his sword, while Long Yan's attacks were all dodged by Feng Xiao Xiao using his rapid movements. The surrounding onlookers from Fei Long Mountain Villa looked at each other in dismay, it seemed that this battle would definitely be a protracted one, and it was just a matter of who would first let their guard down and reveal an opening.
The station is the most frequent place for people to come and go, and the two of them are competing here, with more and more onlookers gathering. Those who know about the conflict between Longyan and Feng Xiaoxiao will not miss this good show, and those who don't know will also be attracted by such a magnificent competition.
Two people each played to their strengths, and it's not necessary to say more, just a quick word, but Longyan's advantage lies in its high level, not only is its own level high, but also the level of martial arts is high, when two people use the same moves, Longyan always has the upper hand. The two fought to a stalemate.
But among the crowd, only Feng Xiao Xiao himself was clear that a protracted war would be very unfavorable to him. The reason lay in his own inner strength. Long Yan could fight for a long time after taking one big pill, but he had to take one every now and then. This medicine would eventually run out, and without inner strength, there wouldn't even be a glimmer of hope!
The wind was whispering anxiously, feeling that except for the best way to escape, but it had already been agreed that it would be a fight to the death, how could he bear to run away!
For the time being, the only hope is that Longyan will reveal some flaws and get a chance to strike. But Longyan has had several lessons from past experiences, fighting extremely cautiously, every move and style following the rules, just seeking stability, completely different from before when he was eager to put himself in a desperate situation.
The winds were howling, and to conserve energy, Feng Xiao Xiao had been making very few moves, spending most of the time dodging. The surrounding audience was dissatisfied with this, booing loudly, but it wasn't clear if they were unhappy that Feng Xiao Xiao was only dodging without fighting back or if they were unhappy that Long Yan hadn't taken him down yet.
The audience's booing made Longyan even more anxious, fortunately, Feiyun and others knew the strength of Feng Xiaoxiao, otherwise his face would be even more unbearable.
Feng Xiao Xiao only hid and didn't attack, Long Yan was indeed worried, regretting that he had one leg less, running slower than the opponent. Originally it was a 50-50 offense and defense, now it has become 70% offense and 30% defense. But Feng Xiao Xiao seemed to have no fighting spirit at all, only using his two legs, the sword in his hand became a mere decoration.
Longyan became more and more urgent, suddenly Feng Xiao jumped up, turned around and flew towards the outside of the crowd. Longyan shouted: "How, want to run? Don't even think about it!" He also pounced on Feng Xiao.
In the blink of an eye, Longyan's sword was already at Feng Xiaoxiao's back. Even Longyan himself was stunned, he had not expected to catch up with Feng Xiaoxiao so quickly. However, Feng Xiaoxiao suddenly turned around and his sword brushed past Longyan's back. Taking advantage of the momentum from turning around, Feng Xiaoxiao swung his sword and struck Longyan. Longyan fell to the ground amidst the audience's cries of surprise. Although he was not killed instantly, his life had already dropped to a point where he could no longer use martial arts, leaving him helpless and waiting for death.
The wind whistled and then gently fell to the ground. The sword had already been put back on his back, and he smiled at Longyan: "A glimpse of a startled swan, don't you recognize me?"
Having said that, he made a fist at Fei Yun and said: "How about ending today's matter like this?"
Fei Yun said to the wind: "This is up to you two to decide!" As he spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Long Yan. At this time, Long Yan had already taken medicine to replenish his life force and stood up, without saying a word, silently nodding his head.
Feng Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "It's best this way, farewell!" She turned around to leave, the crowd of onlookers involuntarily parted to make a path for her, and Feng Xiao Xiao disappeared from the relay station.
