The third round was a physical fight. In hand-to-hand combat, the use of long swords and formations is prohibited. Weapons less than ten centimeters can be used. The rest can be used at will. There are no requirements, and there are no casualties.
It was also in this match that Nian Gu and I couldn't use our swords. After all, we didn't expect the other party to be so persistent. The situation even extended to a physical fight.
The drumbeats this time were not only more elegant than the previous two, but also more turbid.
I grabbed her collar first, clenched my left fist, and threw it at her face. She was stunned and didn't dodge the first attack. It wasn't until my right hand was about to hit her that she grabbed my hand and twisted it in the opposite direction.
I was in so much pain that I regretted not hitting her harder with my first punch.
" Ah-" I felt like my wrist was about to be crushed by her. I quickly pushed her to the side and wanted to shake her off. In the end, she tied my legs with the belt around her waist and gave me a hook punch to my chin. Now that I think about it, I can feel dizzy.
However, I still shook my head. I couldn't let myself be confused at this time. I turned my head and saw the sword at her feet. I turned over and moved the bandage on my leg over. The power of the blade of the Ice Sturgeon Ruler could cut them apart in an instant. I quickly stood up and fled.
"Come on! Weren't you very fierce just now?" Feng Tianjiao grabbed my scalp with her sharp nails. I expected her to grab my head and hit it against the ground. However, if I were to escape now, I would probably be in a hairless state.
It was better to change the method. I clamped her Ice Sturgeon Ruler between her two boots, and a very sharp sword tip appeared. I wanted to relay the attack, but when she was about to hit my head on the ground, I accidentally bumped into the sword tip.
However, this was an extremely spiritual item, so it naturally recognized its owner. It was not under my control, and after a few rounds, it returned to her hand.
"You used my sword? Alright, you want to use it?" She aimed her sword directly at my chest. Everyone present stood up. The judge wanted to stop her, but her movements were too fast and she immediately focused on me.
If there was a camera that was sweeping horizontally at this moment, you would be able to see that her sword stopped moving when it reached my chest. It stopped for a few seconds.
It was the Heart Protection Mirror! I still have to thank Nian Gu.
The judge reminded her in a low voice that she had violated the rules. Someone should have come up to pull her up immediately, but this was her home ground. No one dared to come up to pull her up.
She turned the Ice Sturgeon Ruler in her hand and saw my poor long sword on my side. Her eyes were burning with anger. In the next second, she raised her hand and broke my sword. I saw it split into two even more pitiful halves under the sun.
I didn't expect that I would be the only one who had my weapon cracked in the melee.
"Aren't you going to pull him down?" Nian Gu's side is also very tense. She still has to take care of me in her busy schedule. But still, no one came up to pull her up.
After she destroyed my sword, her arrogance became even more arrogant. She directly threw the Ice Sturgeon Ruler in her hand onto the ground and bent her knees to kick me a few meters away from my neck.
" Cough, cough, cough." I originally wanted to scold him. Why did you kick him? However, on second thought, since it was already like this, he might as well continue.
Then let's continue!
I raised my hand and wanted to punch her again when she was unprepared like at the beginning of the game, but now I couldn't succeed at all. She turned around and gave me a new punch, and then strangled my neck.
Aunt Nian's side wasn't easy either. Feng Yin directly played a new version of Tai Chi with her. I watched as Aunt Nian was dumbfounded.
"What is your aunt playing at? "Ugly, ugly, ugly." I raised my trembling hand and pointed at the opposite side, giving her a small reminder in a very necessary voice.
Feng Tianjiao's attention was successfully attracted by me. I'm afraid that she hasn't seen her aunt's new move.
Curiosity killed the cat. When I turned around to take a look, I clamped my legs on her head and threw her to the side, trying to throw her out.
She immediately reacted and became even angrier. She directly elbowed my neck and hit my stomach.
I wanted to vomit, but luckily I only drank the bowl of milk that Tong E gave me this morning, so I couldn't really vomit anything.
I really wanted to retaliate, but I didn't. It was obvious that Feng Tianjiao was much better than me in terms of cultivation and quality.
"She's using her flesh to block it." I heard a little girl on the sidelines say to her mother beside her. The woman quickly covered her eyes.
I want to continue to persevere, and I can only continue to persevere. After my body was about to lose consciousness, I heard three drums on the sidelines that seemed to have been separated by half a century.
The third round was finally over.
I felt like I was about to faint.
...
In my half-awake state, I heard the sound of money being divided. Nian Gu patted my little head and whispered in my ear," Wake up, child, wake up.”
I tried my best to open my eyes and realized that I had fainted from the pain. Now that I woke up, I even felt that a part of my body had deflated.
Nian Gu whispered a few words to me. I wanted to nod in response, but I realized that the back of my neck hurt.
The door to the southern passage opened again. I heard someone running towards me. I wanted to look up to see who it was. I exerted force in my lungs and spat out a mouthful of blood.
I wiped my mouth and realized that my sleeves were stained red with blood. Until she realized that it was Tong Er and Song Er who was following behind her.
When Song Er came, she happened to see me vomiting blood. When she saw me like this, she was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth.
"Oh my god." It was the first time I heard Song E say such an exclamation. I saw her take down a large medical kit from her waist, take out gauze and medicine, and start to apply it to me.
"Why are you guys here?" The wounds on my body and my clothes were stuck together. When Tong E cut off the rags for me, I felt especially painful, so I wanted to talk to the two of them to distract myself.
"Someone sent a letter to the palace, telling us to bring medicine over. I think it was Nian Gu who asked someone to bring us over.”
"Alright."
"Is it alright?" Tong E helped me tie up one of my arms. She held my arm and wanted to help me stand up slowly, but it was obvious that it was a little difficult for me to stand up.
Song'e took out a lot of food from her pocket. I took a look and saw that it was basically grilled mushrooms, pastries, and the like. It was my favorite snack.
Song'e broke it off and placed it in my hand. She looked at me very worriedly. I said,"You eat too." She shook her head, and I could see tears in her eyes.
I lowered my head and looked elsewhere. I took half a pancake and placed it in my hand. I realized that even chewing would hurt me. But I still tried my best to chew and smiled at Song'e." It's delicious.”
She cried sadly, and Tong E pulled her aside, not letting her see me like this again.
I narrowed my eyes as the fourth round was about to begin. Feng Tianjiao had beaten me until I vomited blood, and he had also used a lot of energy to rest at the opposite passage.
Nian Gu and Feng Yin became the main characters on the stage. The theme of the fourth round was originally to perform at will. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the two of them.
Feng Yin raised her short sword. The sword wind was sharp, and after a few turns under her feet, it became erratic. Nian Gu raised her sword to dodge. The weapons in their hands were directly locked together. In the stalemate, neither of them was willing to retreat.
Feng Yin was the first to break the momentum. She raised her center and stepped on Nian Gu's sword. She somersaulted and descended like a hot knife through butter.
At this moment, the sky was clear, but in the instant she fell, a huge thunder rumbled.
Everyone cried out in alarm. They did not know what had happened just now, but the sound of heavy thunder rang out again. As the sword technique changed, a blade light appeared. Coupled with the background sound, it seemed as if it was going to split Nian Gu, who was not far below, into pieces.
When I saw this scene while my body was in pain, I silently thought of a few lines of poetry.
Someone on the judges 'table gradually stood up and read out these few lines of poetry through his mouth.
"The spectators are as depressed as mountains, and the heavens and the earth have been lowered for a long time.
Huo Ruyi shot the nine sunsets, and his posture was like a group of emperors riding dragons.
It comes like thunder to stop anger, and stops like the clear light of the river and sea.”
Was this the Gongsun Sword that everyone in the Northern Dynasty was learning? The root of it came from the rebirth of the three elements of the Great Zhou's swordsmanship, Wind, Edge, and Feng. When the sword was raised, the sword wind was mixed with the power of nature, and at the moment of perfection, it could touch the sky and the earth. When he swung his sword, the blade of his sword would change from being extremely hard to being extremely illusionary. When he reached perfection, he would be able to kill his enemies without a trace. The Feng style that was commonly used when facing the enemy would also turn offense into defense, and defense into offense, causing one to lose their mind.
"How can I break this move?" Tong E, who was originally squatting beside me, slowly stood up when she saw this scene. Compared to Feng Yin who had descended from the sky, Nian Gu was like an ant that could be easily crushed by her at any moment.
The moment the sword light fell, I tried to move forward.
I thought that I would never see Nian Gu again in this life. As my pupils dilated, I suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Tong E quickly supported me from the side.
I realized that the cake I just ate had no taste at all in my mouth.
I should think about the question left behind by Niangu just now. Except for those few military officials surnamed Feng who prey on the common people on the surface, what is so terrifying about the entire Northern Feng? Why hadn't anyone dared to correct the Zhou family's bloodline for so many years?
The answer was probably because they were cruel enough.
For the sake of living space, resources, and wealth, they could be so cruel that they could stir up a storm of blood inside and outside the court. They could abandon humanity and let the people suffer. They could even be cruel to themselves, and they would not hesitate to be cruel to themselves.
For the desires they wanted, for the results they wanted, they could keep fighting. They would never feel tired, and they would never want to give up. For everything they wanted, they would do anything, regardless of the consequences.
They could always have their own beliefs, and these beliefs would never be extinguished. They never advocated a bright and kind surface. They only needed to open the scars, show the ugliest stains in the world, ignite the evil spirits buried deep in human nature, and make the Northern Dynasty as cruel as they were.
Just like the people of the Northern Dynasty in the west, they did not care about the blood that was going to be spilled. Instead, they waited excitedly for their master, as if the one who was about to suffer was not the same kind of creature as them.
I recalled some things that happened a long time ago in my memories.
The coffin of my Empress that year that was parked beside the tomb, so lonely, so desolate, quietly sinking into the ground, left me with memories of it.
Why did I suddenly think of this? The pain in my body was still active. I hoped that all the nerves in my body would die so that I wouldn't feel any pain.
There was also sadness.
The sword light swept down fiercely in the air, swallowing everything like a thousand troops.
A sword quietly rose up and blocked it.
Tong Er and I opened our eyes wide, and everyone in the arena started to slash.
Nian Gu held the sword in her hand and raised it to the top of her skull, as if she could block it effortlessly.
"How is that possible?" Feng Yin's face was filled with disbelief. She continued to increase her strength to suppress it.
Song'e stopped crying and walked to my side. "How did auntie do it?" She asked me.
Tong E looked at us." Look at Nian Gu's eyes.”
I followed her words and looked into Nian Gu's eyes. Her eyes were filled with deep hatred and were about to bleed. The hatred seemed to have gathered at her wrist that was holding the sword, forming a huge shield that firmly resisted the sword light above.
It turned out that as long as people became crueler than them, they would not be afraid. It turned out that as long as people hated them more than they did, they would never forget who had brought them pain, and they would be able to continue living.
The drumming was two seconds late, and the drummer was stunned. It was not until I threw a huge stone to the east that he came to his senses and quickly hammered the drumstick.
The fourth round was a draw.
