With three loud drums, the competition officially began.
The first round: Sword Dance. Since this competition was called the " Sword Dance Competition ", the opening was naturally based on the sword dance.
The sword dance was a performance dance. It was originally a short sword that was used to swing, hit, and spin. However, due to the "simple" folk customs of the war era, especially in today's larger fighting arena, it was naturally not just a simple dance. The moves before and after the sword dance must reflect the martial arts quality of the person. It was possible to show the killing intent in the beauty and even take the life of the person in the hundreds of turns.
Feng Tianjiao had been waiting for this day. He approached me step by step according to the drummer's beat. His "beating order"(the rhythm of the sword dancer's feet) was steady and vigorous. It was as if I could see a big tiger with white forehead in her lower body. Its fur was shiny and its eyes were sharp. It was called the "momentum of riding a tiger". From this aura, I could tell that she had cultivated her sword art to the intermediate level in the past six months. It was more than enough to deal with a "small fry" like me.
Her upper body was naturally not idle. The red sleeves inside opened and closed according to the " fight order " under her feet, revealing her white and strong arms. With a money belt around her waist, she walked to the center of the fighting arena in a few simple steps.
It was my turn to move out. I tidied up my armor and raised my sword one foot above my head. My footsteps became as slow and agile as possible as I adjusted the most suitable "strike order."”
Another three drums sounded, but this time, a loud gong was added. Feng Tianjiao took the lead to circle around from the left side to my side. When he made his move, he turned sideways and got up. The coldness on the blade of the Ice Sturgeon Ruler suddenly approached me. I raised my sword to block, but I didn't expect that the strength she used the first time was not small. The back of my body wasn't careful, so I bent down to avoid this move.
She used a little more force, and I saw the opportunity to stab my sword at her back. She immediately defended against it and with a backflip, I was able to land lightly on the ground again.
The drumbeats continued to sound. The " command " under Feng Tianjiao's feet began to match the drumbeats. I picked the next drumbeat and threw the sword at her face. After all, I really couldn't stand her ostentatious face.
I thought that the drumming would help me, but I didn't expect to be hit by her damn Mist Bullet.
When the next drum beat rang out, her feet moved 0.2 seconds ahead of time. She directly dodged my sword and then used her sword hilt to hit my sword. This caused my sword to immediately sink and stab straight into the center of the fighting arena. When it touched the glass stone, it emitted a clear sound.
There were still 50 seconds before he could launch a quick attack. I picked up the sword on the table, raised my head high and stabbed at Feng Tianjiao again, and quickened my pace as much as possible. Unfortunately, her speed of turning over was faster than mine. Her defensive moves were also very beautiful, as if she was dancing on ice. As expected, the sword was only an ornament, which was the true meaning of the sword dance.
She dodged my attack with a flip of her leg and ruthlessly hacked at my head. I could hear some of the audience members in the stadium gasp and sweat for me.
I quickly lowered my head and threw my body out of the arena to avoid her deadly attack. I was almost thrown to the wall and hit my head. Fortunately, I used my hand to grab the lowest step of the eighth floor. (Thank you, designer.)
Even so, she still felt that it was not enough and insisted on seeing me make a bigger fool of myself. She grabbed the hilt of my sword through the ribbon that came out of her sleeve and threw it toward the platform. My poor sword was inserted into the platform from the tip.
The moment she used this move, the entire room was filled with cheers. Through this move, it was enough to show that her inner strength was already relatively high. Her entire body was very stable, and she could even seize the enemy's weapon and provoke them without saying a word. What was even more amazing was that after the yellow ribbon on her sleeve hooked my sword, the few ribbons floated in the air along with her last few dance steps, echoing the " tiger riding momentum " she displayed at the beginning, forming a perfect closed loop.
In this round, she used the traditional sword dance moves to create new ideas. She controlled and predicted the opponent's thoughts, completely balancing the left and right with ease. At the end, she echoed the beginning and the end, achieving the strength, wisdom, and beauty of the traditional sword dance.
In the first round of the traditional sword dance, she got three points and ten candle lights, while I was very unlucky to have lost a lock of hair that I had lost at some point. After climbing up the stairs from the eighth floor outside the arena, she even pulled out my sword that had a part of it embedded in the glass stone like she was pulling out a radish.
As expected, the money on the stage was taken into the measurement area by the sledge and handed over to Feng Tianjiao's gambling staff. There was no need for any movement from my place where the money was placed.
I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists so tightly that my nails almost dug into my flesh. Nian Gu patted my shoulder."What is the reason behind Bei Feng's success?”She threw this question at me, not needing me to answer her. Then, she took out the double-edged sword (a sword that could be split into two from the middle) that she had brought with her today and walked into the area in front of me.
The second round, Jian Yi. This round was a competition of comprehension of sword techniques, and they could work together with the deputy general.
Nian Gu decided to go up. I realized that the audience had left quite a bit of money for her. After the money was distributed, everyone placed their bets, and returned to their seats, the drums sounded again.
This time, Feng Tianjiao combined the four techniques of lifting, blocking, striking, and stabbing into a mixed move. His movements were light and merciless. Before Niangu could take the sword to meet him, it formed an even more unique sword qi that attacked us fiercely.
Nian Gu exchanged a few blows with her and could tell that Feng Tianjiao had other intentions. At this moment, Feng Yin untied the knot on the cloth and took out a short sword.
The appearance of the short sword made Nian Gu pale with fright. I focused my eyes and saw that it was the Ling Jue Sword that I had only seen in ancient books.
Ling Jue had more spiritual energy and lethality than the Xun Ice Ruler. Don't look at its short stature, but it could distinguish between enemies and friends. It could absorb all the sword qi formations emitted by the enemy into its own force field, and it didn't hurt its teammates at all. It was very useful in this kind of martial arts. Its body was engraved with golden words, which were originally extremely difficult to tame. However, I saw that Feng Yin had carved a Buddha lotus flower on the area above the golden words. It seemed that she had long subdued it and listened to her orders.
The Ice Sturgeon Ruler formed a huge ice grid in mid-air. Accompanied by Feng Yin's Absolute Despair, it formed a huge array. It flickered with icicles and cold air as it directly attacked the two of them.
The pressure of the array was not something that ordinary martial artists could match. Nian Gu had not seen an array of this level for a long time. She took the lead to split the sword in half and suddenly stepped forward to block for me. I was forced to take a few steps back by the airflow of the array.
At this moment, another sword shadow appeared from Feng Tianjiao's body. That sword shadow was sharp and fast, flying straight towards me. I raised my sword to block, but the sword shadow pressed down on my throat. I couldn't move easily and could only save my life.
Seeing this, Nian Gu turned around and gave me a look. I saw from her mouth that she was telling me the word "hot water".
Hot water? Drink more hot water? Why are you still talking to me about this scumbag's quote at a time like this?
However, the sword shadow in front of me suddenly caused my body temperature to drop. I realized that the cold air on the sword shadow's body came from the array. Both of them were spiritual. Through the sword wind sweeping past, they could recognize each other and combine into one, forming an offensive and defensive formation. On the surface, I might be stabbed to death by the sword shadow in front of me, but in fact, I would be frozen to death by the low temperature in the center of the array.
Then, what I need to do is to heal the root first. I used Carp Kickback to dodge the sword shadow, but two seconds later, it immediately found me and attacked me. The tip of my boots lightly lifted and I stepped into the center of the formation, causing it to circle around me. This extremely dangerous action caused everyone present to exclaim in surprise.
The sword shadow was very smart. It immediately realized that I had understood the mystery between the two of them. It changed into hundreds of identical sword shadows from bottom to top and attacked me from all directions. It only gave me less than five seconds.
Hot water, hot water.
I flew towards the candlelight lamp on the judge's seat with the formation around me. This time, I showed my best attitude towards qinggong. When the formation touched the unburned candlelight, I first turned around and stepped on the shoulder of a servant beside the judge, causing the entire force to be tilted. This caused the formation to be ruthlessly pierced into the candlelight lamp by the hundreds of sword shadows behind me before it could turn with me. It melted into a ball of hot water.
The hot water splashed onto the judge who was sitting very close to the area where the incident happened. I saw that the Mediterranean Sea on his head had disappeared. It doesn't matter. He won't give me the lamp anyway.
While I was still lost in my thoughts, I noticed that Feng Yin's short sword was shaking non-stop, and the two swords in front of Nian Gu were about to crack.
Splitting Sword! This is the most despicable method in martial arts. I think only the Feng family can use it.
"Did the old Mrs. Guo walk well?" Feng Yin held her dagger close to Nian Gu's ear and revealed her original appearance. Her face was full of ridicule and her eyes were ferocious. She was no longer as benevolent as before.
"Thank you for your concern, Imperial Secretary. Whether the Imperial Crown Prince is well or not has nothing to do with you! You should take care of the present first!" Nian Gu retorted without any politeness. In order to save the two swords in her hands, she turned her wrist, which was rarely seen in sword techniques. The sword wind of the short sword slashed across her wrist, leaving two blood marks. Then, she continued to attack forward.
The two of them were really serious. It could be said that they were completely fighting with their swords. The entire battlefield was filled with saber light and sword shadows, shocking the world. Needless to say, the people who came to watch today did not need to buy tickets. This scene was completely worth the ticket price even if they spent money to watch it.
Nian Gu's power is slightly weaker, I started to worry. "Aunt!" I wanted to help, but Feng Tianjiao threw his sword and grabbed my neck.
She smiled." They beat them up, and I beat me up.”
I felt my neck start to suffocate. I could only squeeze out a sentence from my throat." Alright, you forced me.”
She didn't use the sword, but I couldn't. I wanted to lift the sword up, but she really strangled me. Her expression was as if she wanted me to enter the coffin right now.
My mind began to empty, and I almost lost consciousness at that moment.
The moment the two rings on her index fingers touched my skin, they began to produce barbs and directly pierced through the skin of my throat. Fortunately, my hands were able to cushion me slightly and give me some distance to protect myself. I didn't let her kill me directly with these things.
My throat was in pain, and my consciousness began to weaken until a face gradually appeared in front of me.
I turned my head slightly and looked at the stands. Noble Consort Zhang was looking at me. Actually, if you were to judge from the excitement of these two martial arts battles, it should be Nian Gu and Feng Yin's battle that is slightly better.
Many people were looking over there, but he was looking over here.
Zhang Xiaomang.
Zhang Xiaomang.
I called out his name in my heart. At this juncture, I still remembered to bite my lip. I couldn't really say his name out loud. That would be a joke.
I raised my hand and stabbed the sword at her armpit. She wanted to strangle me to death and didn't have any extra defenses. She didn't expect me to choose that place to attack. She immediately dodged in panic and let go of my neck.
After three beats, the second round ended. The drummer saw that it was the climax of the competition, so he excitedly beat out the rhythm of a large-scale hand-to-hand combat competition. After beating, he put on a " as if he was facing a great enemy " look. How was he going to end this?
I rolled my eyes at him.
The audience was already boiling like a pot of boiling water, throwing money onto the stage without any hesitation. After the staff had counted, the judges also began to stand up and discuss.
"Since you're in the mood, then let's continue with the second and third rounds!”Feng Yin used her short sword to attack Nian Gu's heart. Nian Gu's defense was on the verge of collapse. I wanted to help her, but I was stopped by Feng Tianjiao, who had a murderous look on his face.
"What's wrong? Scared? Trying to escape? If you're afraid, then kneel down and beg for mercy. Perhaps I'll leave your corpse intact today.”Her eyes were burning as she approached me step by step.
"Madman." I scolded her and spat at her.
"Say it again."
"I said you're a f * cking lunatic!”
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Yes, I do." I looked at someone in the stands and turned my head arrogantly. I don't think I've been so arrogant in the past few years.
I threw the sword aside and let go of my messy hair before tying it up again.
"You're courting death!" I pounced forward and grabbed her collar. The scene fell into chaos again.
