Chapter Eighty-One: Pointed Words

  A familiar figure finally took the stage, Lao Da appeared with his signature golden hoop knife.

  Although the two families have been at odds for a long time, they still need to show some martial virtue in front of everyone. After the two men saluted each other with their fists, Lao Da was about to open his stance when Liu Shen rushed up impatiently.

  The old boss in the middle was still okay, but the Bai Xiaosheng under the stage had already shouted "Good!"

  The wind whispered and glanced at him, asking: "What's good?"

  "Great momentum! This move 'Tiger Descending a Mountain' has an aura that's truly..."

  The wind was blowing and he was afraid of leaving a suspense, so he hurriedly asked: "What is it really?"

  "It's just like a tiger coming down from the mountain!"

  ……

  The big brother on the scene counterattacked at the first time, and the way of counterattack was like the relationship between two gangs, which was diametrically opposed. One move tore the sky and cracked the day to meet the fierce tiger coming down the mountain.

  Duanmen knife and golden silk big ring knife heavily collided with each other, the intense metal impact sound shook the sky, lingering in the valley for a long time, shocking everyone.

  Immediately afterwards, a thunderous applause erupted to bring it back. The applause came from the audience's clapping, everyone was boiling, this is the long-awaited heavyweight confrontation, having seen too many technical fights, what everyone wanted to see was this kind of hard-hitting power struggle.

  Ordinary people's interactions can be described as "you come and I go", but this phrase is not applicable to these two individuals. The two of them don't have any interaction, instead it's more like "you come or I'll come, you won't come then I'll still come!"

  Two knives clashed heavily, then separated, and then collided again with a loud crash. The two men repeated this process, simple yet stirring the blood of everyone in the arena, especially the followers of the two gangs, who shouted loudly as they exchanged blows, trying to boost their own side's morale.

  In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over a dozen moves, and yet neither of them had gained the upper hand. Feng Xiao was puzzled - shouldn't the Heaven-Defying Knife Technique, which had already reached level 8, be able to suppress this level 7 Five Tigers Soul-Cutting Knife?

  One of the Baixiao Sheng whispered again: "See? I said it's hard to distinguish between the two!" The outcome was indeed as I expected, and the wind that had been blowing gently turned into a gloomy atmosphere.

  "It's rare for him to make such a statement: 'At this rate, I reckon we'll have to fight until the medicine runs out!'"

  "The one who finishes the medicine first will lose! Does this count as a loss?"

  "That who knows! However, in general, it should be calculated numerically! After all, the speed of medicine consumption is also determined by human load-bearing, as well as the consumption of internal force by moves, and the amount of internal force decides it! It can also be considered part of one's strength!"

  The wind nodded silently, praying for the old man in his heart. Turning to look at Wan Shitong, he was radiant and looked like he had won the top prize. He patted him on the back and asked, "What's making you so happy?"

  Wan Shi Tong excitedly said: "I've thought of another draft!"

  "What?"

  "Everything goes through a channel:" The topic is still under consideration, how about "On Protracted War"?

  "This... doesn't quite suit you, does it?"

  Wan Shi Tong Dao: "I think so too! It seems we still need to deliberate!"

  ……

  The competition is still ongoing, and the two people's straightforward personalities force neither of them to show weakness, and they must distinguish themselves in this project. "Dang dang dang!", "Ka ka ka" The sound of collision became more prominent in the audience's gradually hoarse cheers, and the two people's shouting voices also began to be interspersed from time to time, trying to break through each other's psychological defense line with a surprise attack, but unfortunately, it had little effect.

  Just as the match was about to take the form predicted by Yijian Chongtian, Feilong Mountain Villa had another person come out. Longyan stood up and shouted loudly: "You two wait, hold your hands first!"

  Although the two of them had not been chopping for long, they were exerting themselves to the utmost and consuming their physical strength very quickly. They were eager to have an opportunity to take a break. When someone shouted "Stop!" they immediately obeyed and stopped chopping. However, neither of them put down their guard, still wary of each other, fearing that the other might not be so obedient.

  Longyan shouted to stop the game, and everyone was very dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to shout back at him because of his status.

  Longyan smiled and said to the two: "You two are indeed a perfect match, with thousands of moves but still unable to determine the outcome! At this rate, it's estimated that even after three days and nights, we won't be able to tell who wins or loses. Why don't we just call it a draw?"

  Both of them remained silent, even if they agreed, neither of them spoke up first! Letting others think it was themselves who were afraid of the other party!

  Longyan seemed to have guessed what was on their minds and turned to ask Shi Shouhuan and Tie Qi: "What do you two think, Masters?"

  The two men's confrontation was clear to everyone, and the trend of the situation could be seen from the sword that pierced the sky. How could Shi Shou and Tie Qi not know whether they had brought enough medicine for their own people? They were both uncertain in their hearts. Since Long Yan had come out and said so, both men felt it was acceptable, and they exchanged a glance, nodding in unison.

  A fierce confrontation ended unclearly, leaving everyone feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied. The dissatisfaction was all vented on Longyan's head. Longyan's Dragon Gate Inn was said to have merged with Feiyun Mountain Villa, but even a blind person could see that it was actually an acquisition. Everyone thought Longyan was like a stray dog, already contemptible enough, and now he had put on another show of "dog stealing chicken", once again revealing his canine nature, causing his image to plummet by countless percentage points. Poor Longyan!

  Liuxing and Lao Da stepped down, the game entered the third round like a raging fire, with one win, one loss and one draw, temporarily at a disadvantage.

  This time, the two people who appeared were completely unrecognizable. I originally thought that the Iron Flag Alliance's appearance was just the leader, Lao Da, Xiao Yao, Xing Yun, and An Ying, but it turns out there are others. From this, we can see that Feng Xiao Xiao's estimate of the number of high-level experts in Jianghu is still far from enough.

  Yi Jian Chong Tian, now accustomed to playing the role of a herald, introduced them as soon as they appeared: "The one from Tie Qi Meng is called Yi Jun Tian, a famous Kunlun swordsman; and the one from Yi Jian Dong Lai is called Xiu Li Yun, from the Tianshan Sect, said to have exceptional lightness skills."

  The wind was blowing gently, and upon hearing the light skill, his spirit lifted. The elder's question about why he couldn't suppress Liu's doubts was quickly thrown far away.

  The names of the two people made it clear that they wouldn't be top-notch powerhouses like Lao Da and Liu Shen. As expected, the match returned to its initial stage, with both sides constantly probing each other for openings. What's even more infuriating is that neither of them knows any particularly impressive martial arts moves, leaving the audience in a drowsy atmosphere once again.

  The extremely disappointing lightness of the two also made Feng Xiao Xiao very disappointed. This was the first time Feng Xiao Xiao had seen someone known as a master of lightness, yet he was still looked down upon by Feng Xiao Xiao. As they say, "After returning from Mount Hua, one no longer looks at mountains; after returning from Huangshan, one no longer looks at peaks." Feng Xiao Xiao now felt like the latter, and the gap was obvious.

  Estimated that except for Yi Jian Dong Lai and Tie Qi Meng, no one cares about this game. Feng Xiao Xiao couldn't understand why Pai You didn't show up, otherwise it would have ended long ago.

  But the final cheer of Tie Qi Meng indicated to everyone that they had achieved a good record of two wins and one draw, while Sleeve Cloud's mistake could not help but let Qing Gong bear the blame of being flashy but ineffective. After Yitian won, his elegant sheathing of the sword became the only highlight of this match, as he flicked his right hand forward, then hooked his five fingers downward, danced a sword flower and accurately inserted it back into the scabbard hanging on his left side with a "brush" sound.

  The wind was blowing, and many people who had just witnessed the scene were constantly gesturing with their right hands, as if catching ghosts. He himself regretted that his sword did not have a scabbard. In his heart, he was thinking of getting one soon.

  Yi Jun returned to the gang with his head held high and a proud smile on his face, exchanging congratulatory handshakes with his fellow gang members.

  The current form is very unfavorable for the Eastern Swordsman, and if he loses another game, the fifth game will not be necessary. On the other hand, the situation for the Iron Flag Alliance can be said to be quite optimistic, as long as they win one of the remaining two games, victory will be within their grasp.

  The most delightful to see this scene, apart from the Iron Flag Alliance, is probably the audience. Everyone is guessing that in order to win the next game, the two strongest people - the leaders of the two factions - will come out and fight. Feng Xiao Xiao also eagerly looks forward to this wonderful scene.

  But the result once again disappointed Feng Xiao Xiao, and two unfamiliar people walked onto the stage.

  But this time was different from last time. As soon as the two of them appeared, many people immediately called out one of their names: It's Xian Le, it's Xian Le!

  Feng Xiao Xiao didn't know who Jian Yu was, and how he had such a high level of fame, so he could only ask for guidance from Jian Chong Tian. Jian Chong Tian was quite surprised that Feng Xiao Xiao didn't know Jian Yu, and first let out an exclamation: "You don't even know Jian Yu!"

  "It's never been heard of! What's wrong with him, is he very powerful?"

  "This person is particularly fond of helping others, always responding to requests, and has a very good reputation in the Jianghu. As for whether he's extremely powerful or not, I don't know, but that sword on the soldier's list, Huahua Sword, is indeed his. Last time's martial arts competition didn't hear him participate either. Usually haven't heard any news about him, unexpectedly this person turned out to be in Yi Jian Dong Lai!"

  After hearing the last sentence, Feng Xiao Xiao finally knew which of the two people on the scene was Yelan. The description of "one sword soaring to the sky" had already outlined a brilliant image similar to Lei Feng in Feng Xiao Xiao's mind, but when the real person walked into the center of the arena and clearly presented himself before Feng Xiao Xiao's eyes, he only then discovered how badly he had been mistaken - this Yelan was actually a woman!
