The 14th (14th day of the first lunar month)
Pei Min didn't dare to relax at all, he had been chasing after Ba Siba's relentless attack, he didn't dare to give him any respite, for fear that he would be lucky again and restore his previous golden body, and it would not be so easy to break it then; Ba Siba also saw Pei Min's intentions, and simply launched a direct attack with him, Ba Siba was young and crisscrossed the Western Regions, of course, it was impossible to just rely on his previous skills, and other martial arts cultivation was also profound. For a while, the duel in the ring was exciting, and the people in the stands were also enthusiastic and applauded.
The prince saw that Pei Min was no longer as passive as before, and his tense nerves relaxed a little, but he still didn't dare to be careless, Pei Min had fought against others before, he had seen it, and he won easily, but now he and Ba Siba are evenly matched, and it is really impossible to know who wins and who loses between the two at the last moment.
The competition in the ring continued, and neither of them left each other a moment to rest, but because Ba Siba was old after all, his physical strength was indeed inferior to Pei Min, and gradually Pei Min had a slight upper hand. Ba Siba calculated in his heart that if this continued, the longer the battle lasted, the more unfavorable it would be for him, so he planned to go out and strive for a quick victory; He suddenly jumped back, opened some distance from Pei Min, and then quickly gathered the breath of the whole body, Pei Min saw this, and even breathed badly in his heart, could it be that he planned to restore the previous incorruptible golden body, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly jumped forward, intending to destroy it before his breath was concentrated, but Ba Siba suddenly hit Pei Min with a palm at this time, Pei Min hurriedly blocked his arms in front of his chest, Ba Siba's palm hit Pei Min's arms, and the momentum sank, but this palm was by no means an ordinary palm force, Pei Min felt severe pain in his arm, and the meridian bones seemed to be shattered, After Pei Min slapped his palm, the whole person flew out from behind him, and after falling into the ring, due to the huge strength, he rolled a few times and fell out of the ring, Pei Min lost?
There was a sudden silence in the stands, Pei Min lost like this? Everyone couldn't believe it; If even Pei Min can't win, is it possible that today's martial arts victory really has to be conceded to Tubo? Zhang Changzong's face was cold, and he straightened up when he saw this, ready to announce the results of the competition, but suddenly Pei Min's voice came from the side of the ring: "Wait!" I am not defeated yet! Everyone's eyes gathered together, only to see that when Pei Min fell from the ring, he grabbed the edge of the ring with one hand, and at this moment his whole body was hanging in the air, not yet on the ground, according to the rules, he was indeed not defeated, he breathed a sigh of relief, endured the sharp pain in his arm, turned over, and returned to the ring, seeing that Pei Min was undefeated, the stands broke out again into cheers; The prince, the prime minister, and Li Ke all breathed a long sigh of relief in their chests.
Ba Siba was also shocked when he saw this, he didn't expect that the person who was hit by his palm would still be able to stand up, and for a while he couldn't help but appreciate the young man in front of him a little more; Pei Min rolled up his sleeves and looked at his arms, which were already bruised, he rubbed his arms gently, walked back to the middle of the ring, looked at the panting Ba Siba and asked, "Dare to ask the master, is this palm just now the long-lost Buddha statue of Tantra?" ”
Basiba nodded and replied, "Exactly!" ”
Pei Min suddenly showed a subtle smile, and said: "The Buddha statue is indeed worthy of its name, such a profound martial arts is actually penetrated by the master, and the younger generation really admires it!" Ba Siba didn't answer again, Pei Min continued: "However, the younger generation heard that this martial art was performed, and the consumption was huge in a short period of time, and the breath was difficult to continue. ”
Ba Si didn't expect Pei Min to even know about this matter, he was inconvenient to answer, and without waiting for Pei Min to continue to speak, he immediately attacked Pei Min again, he expected that since Pei Min was also in this palm, the situation must not be much better, rather than talking to him, it is better to distinguish the superior as soon as possible. Pei Min saw Ba Siba's attack, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took a counterattack, but after a few rounds of fighting, Pei Min obviously felt that Ba Siba's strength was inadequate, and it seemed that the previous Gong had indeed consumed too much of it.
Pei Min came to confidence, began to turn defense into offense, and gradually the advantage became bigger and bigger, Ba Siba seemed to be a little messed up, the more he sought a quick victory, but the move was clamped by Pei Min, Pei Min finally seized the opportunity, Ba Siba hit with a blow, Pei Min turned sideways, and flashed behind Ba Siba, Pei Min hit hard, Ba Siba was too violent, plus Pei Min's blow, the whole person lost his center of gravity, and flew out directly out of the ring, it seems that Ba Siba is bound to lose this time.
Seeing this, Pei Min hurriedly stepped forward again, grabbed Ba Siba's clothes in the air, and forcibly pulled Ba Siba back from outside the ring, Ba Siba thought that Pei Min was going to continue to attack, and as soon as he returned to the ring, he was ready to make a move towards Pei Min, but Pei Min jumped back and stopped attacking, Ba Siba suddenly understood, it turned out that he was afraid that he would fall and lose his face just now, so he pulled himself back. He looked at the young man in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, even though he was unwilling in his heart, he still sighed lightly, Shi Li said: "Young people are not simple, I am defeated!" With that, he turned around and walked out of the ring; Pei Min bowed down and watched Ba Siba get out of the ring.
With a bang, Pei Min finally won the first victory, and the cheers in the stands suddenly rose higher and higher, and everyone couldn't help but worship Pei Min's martial arts, and admired his martial virtues even more. Li Ke's hanging heart finally relaxed.
Although Ba Siba was defeated by Pei Min, his profound martial arts also made everyone present admire, and the cheers were also given to this master.
Zhang Changzong said loudly: "In the first competition, Pei Min won, who wants to compete in the second competition?" ”
At the end of a vicious battle, although Pei Min won, but everyone thinks that his happiness may be the end of the strong crossbow, if he is on the stage to compete, it must be a great opportunity, it is difficult to say that he can defeat Pei Min in one fell swoop and become famous, so everyone is eager to try, not as restrained as before.
Pei Min had no choice but to accept the challenges one by one, but although there were many people in the ring, there were no really powerful ones, Pei Min had won more than ten games in a row, and none of the challengers could fight more than three rounds. Unlike the prince and the king who were excited in the audience, Pei Min agreed to participate in the martial arts duel this time, firstly, to protect Li Ke, and secondly, to be able to compete with real masters, but now he began to feel a little bored.
Looking at the many contestants who still wanted to go on stage, Pei Min felt that it was not a way to go on like this, so he had a plan in his heart, saluted the female emperor, and played loudly: "Your Majesty, Pei Min wants to present a dance for the martial arts, called the Sword Dance, to help the fun, and I hope Your Majesty will agree!" ”
The female emperor didn't know what kind of medicine Pei Min was selling in this gourd, and she suddenly wanted to offer a sword dance, but when she thought about it, it was okay, so she nodded and replied: "Since Pei Min's sword saint has this Yaxing, it doesn't hurt to dance!" ”
Pei Min arched his hand and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty for agreeing!" ”
Pei Min immediately returned to the middle of the ring, and everyone was looking forward to what kind of performance Pei Min would have. Pei Min didn't say a word, and began to dance with a sword, only to see him walking like a fly, spinning left and right, his body was smart, like a sword dancing, his body was sometimes like a shock, sometimes graceful like a dragon, and the sword shadow was heavy in the ring, as if Pei Min and the sword had already been integrated, reaching the realm of the unity of man and sword, everyone was fascinated by it, and with Pei Min's dancing on the sidelines, he began to beat the drum to cooperate, and under the background of the rhythm of the drum, Pei Min's sword dance was even more pleasing to the eye.
But suddenly, Pei Min threw the sword in his hand upward, high enough to reach the clouds, at least about dozens of zhang, there was inevitably an exclamation from the stands, the drummer didn't know why Pei Min was like this, he forgot to beat the drum for a while, everyone's eyes looked at Pei Min's sword thrown into the air, there was silence in the ring, only to see the sword in the air if the lightning shot down, and quickly fell to the ring, everyone followed the falling sword to their throats, I don't know what would happen, seeing that the sword was about to fall on Pei Min's body, suddenly Pei Min was on the side, stretched out his hand, and held the sheath in his hand, The sword penetrated through the room, and the sword that was thrown up dozens of zhang high was actually caught by Pei Min with the scabbard in his hand, making it go straight into the sheath, which was really a sword skill trick.
There was still silence in the ring, and the thousands of onlookers were all shocked and dumbfounded, even Li Ke was shocked, Pei Min's move was not sure to be completed by himself; Pei Min put away his sword, saluted all around, and said loudly: "It's ugly to sacrifice below!" ”
Everyone finally came back to their senses, and the applause and cheers that suddenly broke out in the ring were enough to collapse the ring, the sound could not be calmed down for a long time, and the voices of admiration came and went, Pei Min's skill was a miracle! Maybe it was because everyone's hands were a little painful, so they began to shout rhythmically in unison: "Sword Master!" Pei Min! Juggernaut! Pei Min! ”
Pei Min looked a little embarrassed, he originally planned to dance a sword to deter the challengers, so as not to allow more people to come to challenge, but he never expected that such a result would occur, he hurriedly bowed to the surroundings and saluted, hoping that everyone would stop shouting! But the more humble Pei Min was, the louder the shouts in the stands were louder, and they couldn't be calmed down for a long time.
Suddenly there was a roar from the stands! The shouts of the crowd finally stopped, and Zhang Changzong said loudly with an expressionless face: "Pei Min's sword dance has ended, is there still a challenger?" ”
The ring was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard for a while, and everyone looked around at each other to see who else was too strong to challenge him; After a while, sure enough, no one dared to come to the stage again, and Zhang Changzong said loudly when he saw this: "Since there are no more challengers, please announce the final results of the competition!" ”
The female emperor did not directly announce the results of the competition, but said slowly: "Where is the painter Wu Daozi?" Afraid that everyone would not hear clearly, the eunuch beside him repeated loudly into the ring.
