Chapter 55: Cheers
In the center of the martial arts stage, Tang Yifei was dressed as a scholar in a green suit, thin and tall, with a sallow complexion. If it weren't for the sword at his waist, he would look like a down-and-out sick scholar.
Standing opposite him, Shi Ziling was well-proportioned and tall, wearing a black robe with a strange texture, although he was heroic, there was a little bit of confusion hidden between his eyebrows, and he didn't look like an ordinary son of a family, nor like a swordsman who walked the rivers and lakes.
The two looked at each other, and Tang Yifei said in a deep voice: "I have carefully watched Brother Shi's first few competitions, and they are really extraordinary, especially those unpredictable magic skills, which are really eye-opening." I came to the east this time to meet an opponent like Brother Shi, and it was finally worth the trip. ”
Shi Ziling raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I don't have any magic skills, it's just a few little tricks to bluff people." I know that Tang Gongzi is a world-renowned young talent, and it is my honor for an unknown person like me to have the opportunity to ask you for a few tricks this time. ”
"You're polite, I don't know what kind of magic Brother Shi will use to deal with you this time? Tang Yifei said.
Shi Ziling smiled faintly: "Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Tang Gongzi, in front of Tang Gongzi, I don't dare to play any tricks." However, since we are earning the position of deputy general, I want to lead the troops into battle to kill the enemy, and the use of blades is a must, so please ask Tang Gongzi to teach me my swordsmanship. ”
At this time, only Shi Ziling and Tang Yifei were left on the stage, and the soldiers in the audience were quietly looking forward to the wonderful duel between the two.
Ma Dai and Chen Gongzhao stopped arguing and looked at the two people in the center of the Yanwu platform.
Tang Yifei was slightly taken aback and asked, "Listening to what Brother Shi means, do you want to give up the magic and only use the sword technique to learn from me?"
"Exactly. Shi Ziling replied.
"Then wouldn't I take advantage of it too much? Brother Shi, you still don't have to be too reluctant, although you can do your best. ”
Tang Yifei said with a smile on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He has heard of Shi Ziling's recent fame, because he has carefully watched every previous competition of Shi Ziling, but he still has no idea the gist of his "dementor **".
Although Tang Yifei was conceited that he was practicing the true yuan power of the Xuanmen Sect, he might not be confused by Shi Ziling's thaumaturgy, but he was still a little worried in his heart, and he used words to squeeze the other party as soon as he came up, but he didn't expect Shi Ziling to really give up using the magic as he wished.
It turned out that Shi Ziling had good hearing, and the dispute between Chen Gongzhao and Ma Dai in the stands had already drifted to his ears early in the morning. He paid a little attention and understood the reason for the dispute between the two.
Although against Tang Yifei, if he can use the soul dementor**, the winning chance will definitely be greater, but Shi Ziling thinks about it carefully, although his "soul dementor**" is powerful, it is indeed unbelievable in the eyes of others, and it is inevitable that some people will think that they are making some evil arts.
Since he is earning the position of deputy general, in order to convince his subordinates in the future, he should indeed use orthodox martial arts to justify himself.
As soon as Shi Ziling came to power, he thought about using his "icebreaking" short sword to fight against Tang Yifei. Anyway, as a military general, swordsmanship will always be used sooner or later. Shi Ziling's improved "Yu Family Eight Styles" has never been tried in swordsmanship, and today there is Tang Yifei as an opponent, and it is not bad to use him to practice swordsmanship.
Even if he loses, it's actually not a big deal, anyway, in Shi Ziling's heart, the curious exploration of martial arts is far more important than the value of victory or defeat.
Shi Ziling held the "icebreaking" short sword in his hand and said: "In addition to some bluffing tricks, I have also learned a few introductory swordsmanship, and it is rare to have the opportunity to meet a famous master like Tang Gongzi, so naturally I don't dare to use any different techniques, so I ask Tang Gongzi to guide me in a few swordsmanship." ”
Tang Yifei was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This is very good, then let everyone see Brother Shi's attainments in swordsmanship and true yuan." ”
Ma Dai in the main stand shook his head and said: "This Tang Yifei is really good at talking, and he uses words everywhere to squeeze Shi Ziling, Shi Ziling is really honest, and he really fell for him." ”
Chen Gongzhao said coldly: "I'm afraid that Shizilingkou is wrong, and he said that he would only use swordsmanship, and when it came to a critical moment, he used his ghost tricks again." ”
Ma Dai said angrily: "Don't you count when everyone talks like you? If you want me to say that Shi Ziling said that he won't use a magic without a magic spell, if he uses a magic spell, even if I lose." If I lose, I'll set up ten tables in Deyue Tower tomorrow to let you eat enough!"
Chen Gongzhao was right in the middle of it, and said with a smile: "Then it's a word! It's rare that your old man Ma is willing to entertain you, everyone here has heard it, and the listeners have a share, Ha Lu Ha ......."
In Chen Gongzhao's mind, even if Shi Ziling won Tang Yifei after the most difficult time, as long as he used a strange technique, it would be a good opportunity to make Ma Dai lose face. If Shi Ziling loses, then the candidate recommended by Ma Dai will eventually fail. I only paid the bet of ten tables of banquets, but I had a good chance of winning and cutting Ma Dai's face, so why not.
As soon as Ma Dai spoke, he regretted it a little, but his mouth was tough, and he said: "You are still ready to invite all of us to a ten-table banquet tomorrow night! I have confidence in Shi Ziling, even if I don't use strange arts, I can still win Tang Yifei." ”
Tang Yifei raised his hand and pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed at Shi Ziling from afar, and said, "Brother Shi, please." ”
Shi Ziling held the scabbard of the "icebreaking" short sword with his left hand, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and held the short sword across his chest, but did not draw the sword, and said in his mouth: "Tang Gongzi, please." ”
As soon as Tang Yifei's long sword came out of the sheath, it immediately seemed like a different person, and the previous appearance of a sick scholar was swept away, his eyes were blazing, and a sharp momentum forced out, pointing directly at the stone tomb opposite.
Shi Ziling's spirit was restrained, he stood firmly, not moved by the opponent's momentum at all, but the true yuan of his whole body was flowing rapidly, and his right hand was always holding the hilt of the sword, waiting for the best moment to attack.
Su Bairen, Ma Dai and Chen Gongzhao and others in the main stand are all big experts, and both of them are accumulating momentum, and once the momentum is at its peak, they will naturally follow the momentum.
In the confrontation between the two people's momentum, no matter who shows a flaw slightly, under the traction of the qi engine, it will inevitably attract a thunderous blow from the enemy on the opposite side. No matter who falls behind, it will be extremely difficult to recover it.
The many sergeants watching the battle under the stands were also intimidated by the momentum of the two, and they all held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.
The long sword in Tang Yifei's hand pointed at Shi Ziling, forcing his whole body strength out of the sword, wanting to force Shi Ziling to shake with his fierce sword qi. As long as Shi Ziling is moved by his sword qi, under the traction of the qi machine, he can take advantage of the situation to attack him like a storm.
However, the stone tomb on the opposite side was completely unmoved, and the short sword in his hand was never unsheathed, just like a stone statue, allowing Tang Yifei's sword qi to invade, but there was no reaction at all. On the contrary, there is a strange heat, which is faintly emanating from Shi Ziling's body.
Tang Yifei understood that this was the result of the other party's True Yuan flowing at full speed, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Shi Ziling's True Yuan cultivation was also so strong. He knew that if he continued to confront him like this, he was afraid that he would fall behind, so he immediately made a decision, kicked hard under his feet, raised his sword forward, and stabbed Shi Ziling's heart.
At the same time, Shi Ziling had already drawn his sword out of its sheath and slashed a sword towards Tang Yifei.
Although it was still far away, the Sen Han sword qi on the Shiziling Sword was facing the place where Tang Yifei was gaining momentum, Tang Yifei's offensive couldn't help but stagnate, knowing that Lu Dao had been seized by the opponent, and secretly complained in his heart.
Shi Ziling struck out with a sword, his body unfolded, and he rushed in front of Tang Yifei in an instant. The short sword in his hand did not pause, flew up and down, and launched a fierce attack on Tang Yifei.
Tang Yifei missed the opportunity, so he had to stand still and turn into a comprehensive defense, the two figures kept hovering and hovering, and everyone in the audience only heard the sound of the two swords intersecting.
But in a moment, suddenly the two figures separated, Shi Ziling had returned the sword into the sheath, and said "offended".
Tang Yifei stood there for a long time before asking, "Tell me, this is ...... What swordsmanship?"
Before the words fell, a bloody arrow burst out of Tang Yifei's chest, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and the person staggered down.
Shi Ziling sighed lightly and said, "This is the Yu family's eight styles. Alas, the sword has no eyes, please Brother Tang go all the way. ”
"Yu family eight styles, a good Yu family ....... eight styles......"
Tang Yifei, who fell to the ground, covered his chest with his hands and laughed miserably, his eyes closed, and he died of anger.
There was silence in the stands, and all the spectators were shocked, no one could have imagined that in a moment, Tang Yifei, one of the four famous princes of the world, fell under the sword of Shi Ziling.
After a while, Ma Yu raised his arms in the audience and shouted: "Shi Ziling! Shi Deputy General! Shi Ziling! Shi Vice General ......"
Many sergeants immediately stood up and echoed, and everyone shouted in unison: "Shi Ziling, Shi Ziling, Shi Ziling, Shi Ziling, Shi Ziling, ......Shi Ziling, Shi Ziling, Shi Ziling, Shi
The deafening cheers and cheers burst into flames. Almost everyone was impressed by Shi Ziling's bravery, and was proud that Songhu City had such a strong lieutenant.
Ma Dai also raised his arms and shouted in the main stand, his face swollen red with excitement, and everyone on the side also applauded, not only for Songhu City to recruit such an outstanding talent, but also for the joy of being able to have a free meal in Deyue Tower tomorrow.
Only Chen Gongzhao had a gloomy face, and he was silent with a cold face on the side. Although he also thought that Shi Ziling might still have a chance to win against Tang Yifei, he never thought that he could win so beautiful and crisp without any magic skills, and won everyone's applause and worship in one fell swoop.
Subsequently, Su Bairen officially announced that Shi Ziling, Mu Baishuang, and Yang Weiqing were the new deputy generals of the city, and reported to the imperial court on the same day, and the selection of this competition was successfully concluded.
