Shi Jian said lightly: "Xiao Yi, your insight is far beyond my expectations, but I am not you, and you are not me, since I am here today, I should still finish what I should do." ”

Xiao Yi sighed and said, "The king refers to first diverting the tiger from the mountain to lead me here, and then sending people to kill Zhou Cheng and the others, so that it is good to separate me from the general?"

The five of them were shocked when they heard this, Huo Di drew out his long sword, and their hearts were completely told by Xiao Yi.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded outside the forest, and when they got closer, they suddenly heard the sound of the reins, the neighing of the horses that suddenly stopped, and then the footsteps were mixed, and suddenly there were more than a dozen sergeants with long swords in their hands and disheveled sergeants rushing in, and when they saw Xiao Yi, they couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly went around to Shi Jian and bowed down, glaring at Xiao Yi fiercely.

One of the leaders said: "Lord, my subordinates are incompetent and failed to kill Zhou Cheng, please give me the capital crime." ”

Shi Jian looked at their appearance and knew a rough idea in his heart, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

The leader bowed his head in shame, and replied: "We saw Xiao Yi riding a horse and leaving, and when he went away, he rushed out, wanting to kill Zhou Cheng and others by surprise, but as soon as they arrived, those people seemed to have been prepared, and suddenly formed a circular formation, surrounded by arrows, and the brothers were killed and wounded half, although we have the intention of killing the enemy, but it is completely useless, and it is in the royal capital, it is not good to make a big move, and the result is really unable to hold on, and we have to retreat to this place......"

As soon as he said this, the man bowed down and said, "We have insulted the trust of the Lord, and we are really guilty of not punishable, so please let the Lord do whatever he wants." ”

After speaking, they knelt on the ground.

When Shi Jian heard this, his heart was shocked, he waved his hand without moving, ordered everyone to step aside, lowered his eyes to Xiao Yi, and said: "Xiao Yi, you are indeed very smart, although I already attach great importance to you, but the result is still underestimating you, it seems that you are indeed an unfathomable opponent, in terms of wisdom and martial arts." ”

Xiao Yi's expression seemed to be Shi Jian talking about an outsider who had nothing to do with him, and after hearing it, he responded: "The king is exaggerating, how can he dare to compare with the king of a country in the lower district, and I never want to be an enemy of the king, but the king also underestimates my relationship with the general." ”

Shi Jian smiled when he heard this: "What you said will never be my enemy, I'm afraid you mean that I hope I will never be your enemy, but today Shi Jian wants to be Xiao Yi's enemy, not to mention that I don't need to separate your relationship, as long as the general has a trace of doubt in his heart." ”

Xiao Yi's heart froze, and he sighed, and said: "If the king has to do this, since it is only a matter between two people, then I can't agree, I still have important things, so I won't accompany them." ”

Shi Jian said: "Since Xiao Shaoxia has come, naturally he can't just go back. I'll give you a chance now, if you can beat me today, I can guarantee that you won't touch Ink City and Blackwater Village in the slightest, but if you lose, I advise you to go back to your home and don't go through this troubled water. ”

Xiao Yi stared for a moment, and then said: "The king is so confident, what he said is true?"

Shi Jian said: "Although this king likes to do things arbitrarily and recklessly, he has always been true to his words and has never been false. ”

Xiao Yi nodded calmly, he had heard a little about Shi Jian, and then said, "I don't know what the king wants today?"

Shi Jian said: "The rivers and lakes say that your swordsmanship is extraordinary, and you have already obtained the Aotian Sword Technique and the Liancheng Sword Technique among the four great skills of Southern Martial Arts, I want to try Xiao Shaoxia's extraordinary swordsmanship, after all, the world often says that my marksmanship is unparalleled, so I might as well compare them today to see which one is more powerful." ”

Xiao Yi's heart moved, and said: "Since the king wants to compete today, I naturally can't refuse, but with the king's skill, I'm afraid that I will take too much advantage, so please ask the king to shoot first." ”

"Xiao Shaoxia, you are too small for me, you are not alone in the innate realm here!" After Shi Jian finished speaking, his momentum suddenly widened, and a trace of innate coercion came to his face.

Xiao Yi's eyes froze, and he sighed: "I didn't expect the king to also break through to the innate realm, no wonder Sun Fudu and your royal guards will turn against each other one after another, is this your biggest reliance, the king? But I'm curious about where your hidden kung fu came from, the king? No one has found out that the king has broken through to the innate realm!"

Xiao Yi suddenly realized, if this is the case, then everything makes sense, although there are still many key points, but after Shi Jian broke through to the innate, many problems were easily solved.

Shi Jian didn't reply, glanced at the long sword in his hand, smiled at the moment, "snapped", broke off a bamboo next to him, and swept the pole, and removed all the branches and leaves next to it, leaving only a bamboo pole that was a long length, and turned his hands into a gun, and said with a slight smile: "Since the competition, of course it must be fair, otherwise it will be boring......

He glanced at everyone, and the group of swordsmen retreated to the distance to watch, Shi Jian said: "The sword is a dangerous weapon, it is a short into a long, and the lance is long and short, vertical and horizontal, I will not take advantage of you in weapons, today we all use bamboo as a weapon, it is fair, Xiao Shaoxia will do his best." ”

Xiao Yi clenched his fists, and also folded a bamboo with his hand, and replied, "You invite first." ”

Shi Jian smiled indulgently and said, "Then I'm welcome." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the bamboo pole in his hand suddenly waved and trembled, and suddenly like a green dragon, it suddenly came, and went straight to Xiao Yi's chest. The momentum was very fast, and the group of swordsmen who were watching saw a flash of gun, and there was no trace of people, and when they looked at it again, they had heard the sound of cracking knots, and the two extremely vigorous and swift figures were already fighting together.

But seeing a spear chaotic point, more than vertical and horizontal, a long sword in hand, short into long, the two of them were more than a foot apart, but two pieces of green bamboo brought the souls of the two to one place, waving their hands, the green shadows were stacked, and the sound of snapping was connected into a line.

There is a way that is an inch long and an inch strong, but for a martial artist who has cultivated to a high level, this sentence is not necessarily true. There is a way that there is no law and no rules, it is suitable for people, in Xiao Yi, short is his strength, for Shi Jian, long is his strength.

Although there is a difference between the internal cultivation of the two, Shi Jian took this into account when he used Cuizhu as a weapon, after all, there is an upper limit to the true qi that Cuizhu can withstand, if Xiao Yi ignores it, Cuizhu as a weapon will inevitably burst first because he can't bear it.

Even if Xiao Yi divided a part of his true qi to protect Cuizhu, he couldn't convince him by defeating Shi Jian with internal strength, so Xiao Yi simply saved trouble.

Now the output of the internal force of the two is almost the same, the only thing that can distinguish the winner is on the clever use of tricks, Xiao Yi's tricks are exquisite, needless to say, but Shi Jian's spear skills are also unfathomable, he has been impregnated with this weapon for decades, and he is naturally handy and easy.
