Chapter 42: Sparring

"I haven't seen you for so long, has my little junior sister's martial arts improved?"

In the bamboo forest, Mu Bai's figure shuttled left and right beside Ling Ling, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

"I remember that Senior Brother Mu Bai is the number one master in the Mingyan Continent?"

She stopped suddenly, a hint of wit in her bright eyes.

The corners of Mu Bai's good-looking mouth under the mask instantly raised a smile, and his obsidian-like eyes looked at Ling Ling with confidence.

"Still need to ask?"

"Would you like to compete with me and see who gets from here to the woods behind the mountainside?"

These days of hard work, Ling Ling also wants to know what height she has reached, although she often competes with Hua Sinan, but she needs stronger people to stimulate her potential, every time she asks Wei Fanhua to practice with her, he always directly ignores her request. Now that Mu Bai is here, isn't this a good opportunity?

"Yes, but Senior Sister Xiaoling, don't cry because you lost!"

He looked at Ling Ling with a smile and quipped softly.

"That's going to have to be compared first."

After that, Ling Ling's figure flashed, leaving only a trace of astringent herb fragrance in place, Mu Bai looked at Ling Ling's rapidly becoming smaller figure, the corners of his mouth hooked, and disappeared in place.

Ling Ling mobilized her whole body's internal breath and hurried towards the woods, the woods in front of her gradually enlarged, a smile on her face, and she speeded up to get closer to the woods.

Just as she was about to reach the woods and was about to land, a pale yellow flash flashed around her, so fast that Ling Ling couldn't see clearly, leaving only the faint fragrance of flowers on the tip of her nose.

"Senior Sister Xiaoling, don't cry."

He stood with his hands in his hands, a smile on his lips.

"What, you two are competing?"

Wei Fanhua, who had been waiting for Ling Ling in the woods, walked over with Hua Sinan.

"Brother Xiaobai!"

As soon as Hua Sinan saw Mu Bai, he pounced, Mu Bai smiled, raised his hand and rubbed Hua Sinan's head.

"It's because I'm so curious about how far I've got, so I'm anxious to try it out."

Although she couldn't see any expression on her face, the unwillingness that flashed between her eyebrows was caught by Wei Fanhua, and he smiled lightly,

"Xiao Ling, your progress has been very fast, you must know that kid has been here with me since he was a child."

"Master, I know, Mu Bai...... Senior brother is rare to come, you can talk more, I'm going to practice swords. ”

She turned around and prepared to continue practicing her sword.

"If you practice slowly, I'll accompany you."

Mu Bai's pleasant voice came from behind him, he took his hand off Hua Sinan's head and walked to Ling Ling's side, his eyes under the mask looking at her emaciated side face motionlessly.

"Xiao Ling, haven't you always wanted to find someone to practice with you? Xiaobai is a more suitable person than a teacher! ”

Wei Fanhua's penetrating voice echoed in everyone's ears, he smiled at the corner of his eyes, and pulled Hua Sinan, who was biting his fingers with a confused face, and quickly left the woods.

After living for so long, this bit of insight is still there.

"You've grown a lot taller and lost a lot of weight."

He said softly, the smile on his lips dissipated, and no emotion could be seen in his eyes under the mask.

"How long will you stay this time?"

Ling Ling looked ahead and asked softly.

His eyes flashed slightly, and with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, he said softly,

"How about waiting until you're done and going down the mountain?"

She turned her head to look at him, her eyes fixed on the bright, deep eyes under the mask.

"Are you alright?"

"Nothing is as important as Senior Sister Xiaoling's."

The corners of Mu Bai's mouth raised a naughty smile, revealing neat and beautiful teeth.

Ling Ling raised his eyebrows helplessly, "Since my business is so important, then from today onwards, I will bother Senior Brother Mubai to be my sparring partner!" ”

"Absolutely glad." The smile under the silver mask became a little seductive.

He raised his hand to remove the jade flute from his waist and played with it in his hand.

"I'm standing here, you can attack me at will, if you can force me to take out the sword in the jade flute, then you can be regarded as the number one in Longyun Gate."

He said it lightly, and the corners of his mouth were filled with an unstoppable smile.

Ling Lingxiu raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes flashed, she put her hand on her waist, mobilized the internal breath of her whole body, the Luan Feng sword was instantly unsheathed, her figure flashed, and disappeared in place.

She held the sword in both hands and quickly stabbed at Mu Bai, he was playing with the jade flute at random in the same place, the moment Ling Ling came over, he raised his hand and used the jade flute to resist Ling Ling's sword to death, the air was mixed with the fragrance of herbs and flowers, he raised the corners of his mouth and said softly,

"It's too slow."

Ling Ling gritted her teeth and distanced herself from him again, she strengthened her whole body's internal breath, doubling her speed just now, and her figure flashed behind Mu Bai, and the moment her sword was about to touch his hair, the jade flute accurately resisted her attack.

A few strands of hair fluttered against Ling Ling's cheeks, the moment she and him were wrong, the two were less than a punch apart, the corners of his mouth raised a smile, and he said,

"The speed is not enough, the attack is too single."

Too monolithic?

Ling Ling pondered for a moment, and suddenly a thought occurred in his heart, and his inner breath was strengthened again and again, and he disappeared into the woods.

Mu Bai stood in place, unable to see her figure, unable to hear her breath, and a flash of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

The woods were instantly quiet, Ling Ling seemed to disappear into the woods, Mu Bai stood quietly, and his slender and good-looking hands gradually clenched the jade flute.

After a while, his eyes drooped lightly, and the jade flute in his hand steadily blocked the small pebbles that flew from the right rear instantly, just knocked off, and another one flew in the opposite direction, and he was another block, followed by the small pebbles that kept flying from all directions, and the speed of the jade flute in Mu Bai's hand gradually accelerated.

Ling Ling, who was flying back and forth in the woods, saw that he was concentrating on the small stones, flipped his wrist, threw all the last stones in his hand towards Mu Bai, and then quickly flashed to the other side, strengthening the internal breath of his body to the limit, holding the sword in both hands, and his figure flashed.

Mu Bai knocked out all the small pebbles that flew for a while, and a touch of herb fragrance suddenly wafted out of the air, and as soon as he turned around, he found that Ling Ling's sword was close at hand, he instantly turned sideways, raised his hand and blocked it with the jade flute.

When the jade flute was against the sword, the corners of Ling Ling's mouth raised, and with a twist of his other wrist, he stabbed at Mu Bai's other side with the sword, and he immediately mobilized his internal breath to block the sword that the jade flute was holding ontowards, and his figure flashed, instantly distancing himself from Ling Ling.

In the woods, there are two figures, one white and one yellow.

Ling Ling looked at where Mu Bai was standing before, her bright eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and she naturally raised the corners of her mouth, smiling even more.

A slightly brown, good-looking curly hair falls from mid-air.

A hint of surprise flashed in her black eyes under the silver mask, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, he didn't expect her final speed to be so fast.

A few strands of green silk stuck to Ling Ling's sweaty forehead, her delicate little face flushed, and she gasped a little anxiously.

Just now, it was her limit.

Mu Bai pinned the jade flute back to his waist, raised his feet and walked to Ling Ling, a touch of herb fragrance mixed with her faint body fragrance came from the tip of his nose, he took out a silk scarf from his cuffs, and raised his hand to gently wipe her forehead.

Ling Ling's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly withdrew the Luan Feng Sword from his waist, stepped back slightly, and took the silk scarf in his hand.

"I'll just do it myself."

Mu Bai put his hand behind his back, and the corners of his mouth were always smiling, he said,

"Fang Cai's tactics are a bit interesting, and the final speed can be counted, a little faster. However, you are not used to this kind of internal breath, and your physical strength will be quickly overdrawn, but you must use such an extreme method to mobilize every time in the future, which is the fastest way to increase your speed. ”

Her eyes were shining, and she knew that in the process of practicing just now, Mu Bai had forced her limit out and made a breakthrough, which she usually couldn't practice by herself or with Xiao Nan. Thinking of this, a person suddenly popped into her head.

"By the way, has Master Fanhua ever accompanied you to practice swords before?"

Hearing Ling Ling suddenly ask, his eyes darkened, and he said softly,

"No, I didn't."

"Why?"

"He swore that he would never use force again."

Mu Bai's tone became a little heavy, eight words, Ling Ling heard his embarrassment, and probably guessed that the prosperous master who smiled all day long and had a little vicissitudes of life may have a past that he didn't want to mention.

"I was on the sword just now, but what else is the problem?"

She turned the conversation around and raised her eyes to look at Mu Bai.
