Chapter 9, Fight to the Death

Zu Zhao said quietly: "The battle between life and death has no moral words, not to mention that the events of the day are complicated, how can you use which is right and which is wrong to make an assertion?" Miss Xin, I know that you are not irrational, and there is still room for redemption if you abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”

After saying this, he was suddenly a little surprised, and he didn't know that he was going to say such a thing.

A bit of astonishment flashed on Xin Qiu's pale face, but it quickly returned to normal. She laughed coldly, raised the short sword in her hand and pointed directly at Zu Zhao, and said gloomily: "It's ridiculous, you little thief even dare to preach to me." Don't talk nonsense, as I said last time, you and I will be a time of life and death. Look at the sword! ”

After that, the sword roared like a tiger, and rushed towards Zu Zhao with a strong momentum.

Although Zu Zhao has been practicing martial arts diligently since he was a child, he has not really practiced to the realm of being able to defeat ten enemies, at most he only knows some routines, and by the way, he uses some advanced training methods to strengthen his physique. At most, he has some attainments in archery and equestrianism. He never thought that a seemingly weak woman could actually play such a "strong" sword fighting technique, no wonder more than a dozen big men couldn't get close.

Holding his breath, he didn't think about fighting with Xin Qiubai for this sword, but instead gathered all his energy to react in his eyes, trying to see the flaws of the other party in the shortest possible time. Strong swordsmanship is stronger when it is stronger, and although it is possible to hold the situation through hard fighting, it will still fall into a passive state after all.

Xin Qiubai's sword approached him in just an instant, and the flickering edge of the sword edge was palpable.

Zu Zhao's figure first deviated to the left, and when Xin Qiubai's sword momentum shifted to this side, he suddenly concentrated his whole body and dodged again. This kind of trick is not common in this era, but it has been widely used in later generations, especially in some sports such as basketball and football.

Xin Qiubai really didn't expect Zu Zhao to play such a trick, but the sword momentum was old, and it was difficult to turn again.

Zu Zhao took the opportunity to raise his sword and stabbed at Xin Qiubai's shoulder at an angle. He was originally nine out of ten, how did he know that seeing that the tip of the sword had already touched Xin Qiubai's shoulder, Xin Qiubai twisted his waist in a low voice, not only dodging his own sword, but even retracting the previous sword momentum and cutting it horizontally.

He secretly exclaimed: This woman's waist and abdomen strength is really amazing.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly retreated and jumped away, pulling a certain distance from Xin Qiubai.

Xin Qiubai didn't have any intention of closing the momentum at all, so he followed closely and swung his sword to attack.

Although he only fought this round, Zu Zhao had already seen Xin Qiubai's soaring killing intent, if he still had the mentality of taking a trick and breaking the move, he was afraid that sooner or later he would be the first to reveal his flaws. Immediately, he was ruthless and decided to adopt a method that he was ashamed of, and no longer had any intention of dodging, and raised his sword and directly stepped forward to meet him.

He expected that Xin Qiubai's body was weak, and his physical strength would definitely be exhausted, since the other party was good at using strong swordsmanship, then he only needed to fight strong against strong, and ensure that he could hold on to it, and it would not take long to consume his physical strength, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

The two swords intersected, creating a metallic crunch.

Hold on for a while, separate! Xin Qiubai once again took the lead in attacking, her originally bloodless face became more and more pale, and her lips, which were also bloodless, would gradually glow with a little ruddyness, but this ruddy was from the inside out, very much like blood oozing from her mouth.

Zu Zhao didn't back down at all, the sword in his hand didn't accept liliang, the stronger Xin Qiubai's sword was, the stronger the liliang he put in.

After seven or eight rounds, Zu Zhao already felt a faint pain in his tiger's mouth, and even the sword body had many bumps. Yet he had no worries or discomfort. On the contrary, he knew very well in his heart that Xin Qiubai's situation at this moment was worse than his own. He could feel that every time he fought the sword, Xin Qiubai's sword edge weakened by one point, maybe this point was not too obvious, but as the so-called accumulation of small amounts, even if he didn't need to calculate the other party's preparation, he could also calculate the strength of his own confrontation.

On the side, those injured post station helpers only looked dumbfounded, of course, in their opinion, they were still amazed by the female thief Xin Qiubai's swordsmanship, a weak and charming woman not only injured many people first, but then could fight with a young hero like Zu Zhao inseparably, how could it not be counted?

However, Li Xin, who was standing on the other side, originally clenched the saber in his hand, until he carefully observed the battle between Zu Zhao and Xin Qiubai, the boulder in his heart finally put down, and even lowered the tip of the saber in his hand and placed it in a comfortable position. Although he is not a martial arts master, his years of experience in martial arts and hunting have given him a habit of capturing details, and he can see at a glance the difference between Zu Zhao and Xin Qiubai, obviously the latter's strength is gradually weakening, and even the hand holding the sword is shaking with many unreasonable shaking.

In addition, he also had feelings about Zu Zhao's swordsmanship, although he had seen Zu Zhao's brave martial arts when he was in Taishou Mansion before, but after all, the scene was too chaotic at that time, and he failed to carefully observe Zu Zhao's martial arts foundation. As for the fame that spread early on, he only regarded it as an understanding of honor, but he would not really think that it was a manifestation of personal swordsmanship, archery and horse skills. Today is a real glimpse of Zu Zhao's ability, and he immediately recognized Zu Zhao's title of "young hero" in his heart.

Even the entourage behind Li Xin was all impressed by this young man. During the time they were walking with Zu Zhao, they didn't care too much except that they knew that this young man had repelled the Hu people with fewer victories, not to mention that the other party was still guilty. At this time, I saw the process of tricks, and all of them were highly praised.

In the courtyard, the firelight moves with the wind, and the light and shadow on the dusk earth are intertwined, like demons and ghosts.

After Zu Zhao clearly sensed that Xin Qiubai's steps were weak and the masculine in his sword momentum was rapidly decreasing, he immediately burst out all the Zhong Qi that had been accumulated for a long time. In the third and two rounds of fighting, the situation on the field was suddenly completely reversed, and Xin Qiubai, who was attacking all the way, was defeated and retreated, allowing Zu Zhao to completely take the initiative.

"Abandon the sword!"

Zu Zhao warned loudly.

Xin Qiubai turned a deaf ear, her moves became more and more chaotic, and flaws appeared frequently. Not only that, but her expression was also extremely uncomfortable at this time, and a few traces of bright blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

"I, I'd rather die here!"

She gritted her teeth and said, word by word, word by word.

Zu Zhao noticed that Xin Qiubai, who was originally holding the heart of death, seemed to have tears in the corners of his bewitching eyes, and the crystal flash clearly showed unwillingness, disappointment, helplessness, and a trace of elusive cowardice! ――
