Shangguan Ruoyu lowered her head again to hide the abnormality in her heart and prepared for the competition.
"Lin Ruoyu versus Ye Xiangqi." Shangguan Ruoyu gripped the sword in her hand as the voice from the high platform rang out. Although this sword was not as good as the Glazed Sword, it had always been by her side, so there was a tacit understanding between them.
"Sister Yu, be careful." Murong Ling looked at Shangguan Ruoyu worriedly.
Shangguan Ruoyu nodded and smiled at Murong Ling. Then, she walked onto the platform with a normal expression.
Ye Xiangqi was dressed in a jade-colored robe, which made her look very beautiful. Her slender fingers slowly pulled out the whip from her waist, and she looked at Shangguan Ruoyu with a smile.
"I heard that you're Zhang Xingyan's sweetheart.”Ye Xiangqi asked.
Shangguan Ruoyu's heart trembled." Miss Ye, you're thinking too much. He's the son of the prime minister, how could he know me? Besides, I'm just a martial artist, so I naturally won't have anything to do with the people in the court.”Shangguan Ruoyu knew that Ye Xiangqi was Ouyang Xiong's man, so she was naturally displeased.
"Ha, look at this little mouth. It's really amazing.”Ye Xiangqi knew that she had become the object of ridicule in her mouth, but she was not angry. She just looked at her with a sharper gaze.
Without waiting for Shangguan Ruoyu to speak, Ye Xiangqi swung her whip at him. Shangguan Ruoyu was shocked and dodged to the side.
"How can this person start attacking when no one is paying attention?”Murong Ling shouted excitedly when she saw Ye Xiangqi lashing out at Shangguan Ruoyu when she was unprepared.
"Ling 'er, this is how the competition is. Why are you shouting? Take good care of your Little Sister Yu.”Nangong Luobing said to Murong Ling with a smile. Then, she looked at Shangguan Ruoyu. Judging from the situation, Ye Xiangqi was not easy to deal with.
After Shangguan Ruoyu narrowly avoided the whip, she began to focus on dealing with Ye Xiangqi.
Ye Xiangqi's martial arts style was very strange. It was not as traceable as the martial arts moves of ordinary martial artists. In fact, Ye Xiangqi's background was also very strange. She became famous overnight with a whip. She was also beautiful and had the name 'Linglong Maid'.”Moreover, some people said that she was Ouyang Xiong's adopted daughter, and many young talents in the martial arts world adored her.
Ye Xiangqi's whip was very good. It was aimed at Shangguan Ruoyu's vital spot. Shangguan Ruoyu was exhausted and was very passive. She could only block the whip with her silver sword while she could only dodge the force of the whip and not take the initiative to attack.
The people watching below were also very exciting. They were all cheering. It was a great pleasure to watch a beautiful woman compete, and it was a beautiful woman with extremely high martial arts skills. Ouyang Xiong's men were all excited to see Ye Xiangqi gaining the upper hand. Maple Feather Pavilion was naturally worried. Although Shangguan Ruoyu's kung fu was not bad, it was still dangerous to meet Ye Xiangqi.
Shangguan Ruoyu was also very anxious. She couldn't use any of her moves at all. Ye Xiangqi's whip had completely blocked her path. He could only deal with it carefully. He quickly flipped his silver sword, hoping to entangle her whip so that he could have a chance to use his own moves.
Ye Xiangqi nimbly flipped her body, one in front and one behind. The whip was like her hand, becoming her most powerful weapon to subdue her enemies. She smiled as she watched Shangguan Ruoyu being forced into a corner. She was very happy. Actually, ever since she met Zhang Xingyan, she had given her a heart. However, she had learned from Zhang Zhongshou that he seemed to have special feelings for Lin Ruoyu. She naturally wanted to compare her to him so that Brother Xingyan would know who was worthy of him.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiangqi's moves became even fiercer than before. Her hatred for Shangguan Ruoyu was also shown on her face.
Shangguan Ruoyu saw that Ye Xiangqi's moves were more powerful, but it gave her an opportunity to find a flaw. She dodged her whip and took a step back, landing on the railing of the stage. She took a deep breath and used Falling Goose and Autumn Sand to charge at Ye Xiangqi.
This Falling Goose and Autumn Sand was Leng Yuezi's ultimate move. Although the sword move was simple, it gathered internal energy at the tip of the sword, and its power was endless. The audience was surprised to see Shangguan Ruoyu use Leng Yuezi's ultimate move. They guessed the relationship between Lin Ruoyu and Leng Yuezi.
Ye Xiangqi saw that Shangguan Ruoyu was coming straight at her and wanted to whip her back. However, before she could raise her whip, she was forced to open her eyes by the sword Qi that came in. She could only take Shangguan Ruoyu's sword. However, because he used his whip to block it, the sword did not pierce very deep.
Ye Xiangqi frowned and saw that the wound on her right chest was starting to bleed. In a moment of panic, she waved her whip without any moves. Her pride did not allow her to admit defeat, and she had lost to Shangguan Ruoyu.
Shangguan Ruoyu had thought that the competition would end, but after seeing Ye Xiangqi's wild swings, she started to deal with it again. Shangguan Ruoyu's swordsmanship was excellent, comparable to Zhang Xingyan's. Moreover, Ye Xiangqi was injured, so he was able to fight her with ease. With a backflip, his sword was placed on Ye Xiangqi's neck.
Ye Xiangqi looked at the sword on her neck in disbelief. She could not accept that she had lost to Shangguan Ruoyu.
"Thank you." Shangguan Ruoyu said something to Zhang Xingyan. Thinking of this, she looked in Zhang Xingyan's direction and nodded at Ye Xiangqi. She put down her sword and prepared to leave.
Ye Xiangqi looked in Shangguan Ruoyu's direction and saw Zhang Xingyan looking at Shangguan Ruoyu with a smile. Ye Xiangqi felt a sharp pain and resentment in her heart. She forgot the rules of the Martial Arts Circle Convention and threw a row of tiny silver needles at Shangguan Ruoyu.
" Hmm…" Shangguan Ruoyu didn't notice Ye Xiangqi and let the needles land on her body. She felt pain and her heart trembled. Her body softened and she saw Zhang Xingyan calling her nervously.
"Sister Yu." Murong Ling ran over excitedly when she saw Shangguan Ruoyu fall.
The people below looked at each other. When they reacted, they realized that this 'Linglong woman' actually used a hidden weapon.
Nangong Luobing frowned, and her whole body emitted a ruthless aura. She flew onto the stage and felt Shangguan Ruoyu's pulse. Seeing that her face had turned black, it was obvious that she had been poisoned. She used a thin needle to seal her acupoints. Then, he flew to Ye Xiangqi's side. With a wave of his right hand, a row of thin needles were inserted into her chest.
"You poisoned me."
"Humph." Although Ye Xiangqi was immobilized by Nangong Luobing's needles, she didn't look frightened. She just looked at Nangong Luobing coldly.
When everyone heard their conversation, they were even more surprised. This Ye Xiangqi was not only a hidden weapon, but also poisoned. She was really a vicious person. Ouyang Xiong's face had already turned green from anger because of Ye Xiangqi's actions, but he couldn't move. Zhang Zhongshou, on the other hand, had already silently planned what to do next when he saw his son hugging the woman in pain.
"You witch, what poison did you use? Quickly bring the antidote over.”Murong Ling looked at the unconscious Shangguan Ruoyu and was very anxious. She ran to Ye Xiangqi's side and glared at her.
"Without the antidote, just wait to collect her corpse.”Ye Xiangqi glanced at Shangguan Ruoyu and smiled.
" You..." Murong Ling wanted to say something but was stopped by Nangong Luobing.
Nangong Luo Bing looked at Ye Xiangqi and smiled," Since you like to use poison, then I will show you how it tastes."”After Nangong Luo Bing finished speaking, she pinched Ye Xiangqi's chin and forced her to open her mouth. Then, she stuffed a pill into her mouth.
"Ahem…what did you give me to eat?”Ye Xiangqi couldn't move or vomit, so she was a little anxious.
"Hmph, whatever a woman cares about the most, I will destroy it.”Nangong Luo Bing's tone was light.
Ye Xiangqi's face was filled with fear and hatred towards Nangong Luobing.
"Don't look at me like that. If you give me the antidote, maybe I'll give you the antidote too.”
"Haha, even if I die, I still have her by my side. What am I afraid of?”Ye Xiangqi believed that with Shangguan Ruoyu around, they would not kill her.
"Is that so? Then you've miscalculated. There's no poison in the world that I, Nangong Luobing, can't cure. As long as I smell her blood, I'll know what kind of poison she's suffering from.”Nangong Luobing walked into Ye Xiangqi's room, causing her to tremble.
"What? She's the Valley Master of Pure Ice Valley?”When the people below heard that it was Nangong Luobing, they were all amazed that this year's Martial Arts Circle Convention had truly broadened their horizons.
Ye Xiangqi was stunned for a moment, but then she laughed." Since you know how to interpret it, why ask me?"”
Nangong Luobing shrugged and looked at Murong Ling casually." Ling 'er, how do you think I should deal with her? She hurt Lil' Yu."”
"Kill her." She was extremely cold, unlike the innocent and kind Murong Ling from before.
"Brother Xingyan." Ye Xiangqi subconsciously called out to Zhang Xingyan, wanting him to say something.
Zhang Xingyan didn't even look at her. He just looked at Shangguan Ruoyu with heartache. From knowing each other to knowing each other, and then to loving each other, they had experienced so much, but God still didn't want them to have a good time. He was actually the son of her enemy. Now, he could only watch her get hurt in front of him and lay motionlessly in his arms. He hated himself very much, but he hated Ye Xiangqi even more.
"Valley Master Nangong, let's detoxify her first.”Zhang Xingyan said, then carried her away.
"Xingyan." Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Yuxuan grabbed him and warned him with his eyes that Zhang Zhongshou was still here.
Zhang Xingyan continued to leave as if he hadn't seen him.
Li Yuxuan had no choice but to let him leave. He knew that if he were in his shoes, he would do the same.
Nangong Luobing didn't seem to want to leave. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to detoxify Shangguan Ruoyu. He looked at Murong Ling.
"If Ling 'er wants her dead, she won't be able to live. However, Ling' er, look. Her face will slowly rot from the inside out. Then, she will lose all her martial arts and the pain will be unbearable.”Nangong Luo Bing laughed lightly.
When everyone heard her words, they couldn't help but shiver. Although Nangong Luo Bing was a divine doctor, her poisoning skills were really not light.
" Ah... Sister Luo Bing, this..." Murong Ling was still kind. When she heard that Ye Xiangqi was going to die like this, she couldn't bear it. At first, she said that she wanted to kill her because she was angry that she had poisoned Shangguan Ruoyu with a hidden weapon.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, a deep voice sounded.
