【073】Swords in the rain

"Yes!"

Xiao Biaozi asked people to take two wooden knives carved in the shape of Yanling knives, and handed one of them to Jia Chen.

Taking the wooden knife, Jia Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, he had never learned the sword technique, so he could only use the knife instead of the sword and use the Wudang Seven Star Sword Technique.

With a knife in his hand, Jia Chen pointed the blade obliquely at the ground where the rain was splashing, and the momentum of his body changed suddenly.

Now he is tall and high-spirited, and he is like a sharp blade in itself.

Xiao Biaozi's heart froze, his eyelids trembled, and a strong uneasiness surged from the bottom of his heart.

A flash of surprise flashed in Xia Shouzhong's eyes, he didn't expect this Ah Ying to suddenly exude such a fierce momentum, and he was curious if he had real kung fu or an empty show.

Jia Chen turned his head and handed Jia Yuanchun a reassuring look.

But Jia Yuanchun's heart was still anxious, worried that Jia Chen would reveal his identity, and even more worried that he would be injured, but he didn't dare to show it.

A little eunuch took the oil-paper umbrella in Jia Chen's hand and propped it on top of Jia Yuanchun's head.

The matter has come to this, Jia Yuanchun can only silently pray for Jia Chen's blessing and pray for God's protection.

Leaving the bottom of the umbrella, Jia Chen was soon drenched from head to toe by the heavy rain, wet all over, blown by the wind, and cold all over his body.

In the field of vision is an endless curtain of rain, ethereal and misty, and there is a blur between heaven and earth.

Jia Chen and Xiao Biaozi came to a vacant lot in the middle of the imperial garden, separated by more than ten meters, and stood face to face.

Jia Yuanchun was in a state of uneasiness, and watched the battle with Xia Shouzhong and others.

Xia Shouzhong smiled at the corner of his lips, calmly waiting to see the excitement.

Xiao Biaozi is a good hand under Xia Shouzhong, and he can be regarded as a master of the Eight Classics.

Among Xia Shouzhong's personal guards, Xiao Biaozi's martial arts can definitely rank in the top three.

Therefore, Xia Shouzhong was not worried that Xiao Biaozi would lose at all.

This time, letting Xiao Biaozi clean up Jia Chen is actually the meaning of Zhou Guiren, the favorite concubine of the emperor's Xinna.

Recently, Emperor Chongrui seems to have become interested in Jia Yuanchun, and he doesn't know whether he wants to promote her to an official position, or he wants to honor her and take her as a concubine.

Zhou Guiren was worried that Jia Yuanchun, who was both talented and good-looking, would compete with him for favor, so he bribed Xia Shouzhong and asked him to find an opportunity to suppress Jia Yuanchun.

In fact, Xia Shouzhong only listened to the queen's dispatch, and the queen's mother happened to have a grudge against Jia Yuanchun, so Xia Shouzhong sold Zhou Guiren a favor and dealt with Jia Yuanchun.

Xia Shouzhong coughed lightly and said in a voice that was neither male nor female:

"I announce, the competition begins!"

Jia Chen held a wooden knife in his hand and bowed to each other with Xiao Biaozi.

Xiao Biaozi boasted of his strong martial arts, but he didn't take Jia Chen in his eyes at all, and sneered contemptuously:

"I can give you three moves, you attack first!"

Jia Chen smiled and said:

"I can also give you five moves, but you will definitely lose!"

"It's a little old, it's a big breath!" Xiao Biaozi was enraged, snorted coldly, slumped his shoulders, lifted the wooden knife obliquely, strode through the rain curtain, stepped on a splash of splashing water, and rushed towards Jia Chen.

Jia Chen lunged forward, raised the wooden knife obliquely, and was ready to go.

The rain dripped on the blade, crackling, and water droplets splashed everywhere, but Jia Chen's arm was extremely steady, and the blade did not move at all.

Xiao Biaozi saw him standing still, and thought that he was stunned by his momentum.

"This knife, ten years of skill, can you catch it?"

Before the aftermath subsided, Xiao Biaozi had already rushed to the front, looked at Jia Chen's side neck, and slashed his hip with a slanted shoulder.

Jia Chen took a step sideways, dodging the opponent's blade, and at the same time swung the knife diagonally, slashing at Xiao Biaozi's head.

Xiao Biaozi hurriedly changed the chop to block and blocked horizontally.

"Smack!" There was a crisp sound on the ground.

The two wooden knives slammed into each other.

Xiao Biaozi felt numb in his mouth, and almost dropped the knife.

"That's a lot of strength!"

Xiao Biaozi was shocked, and immediately put away his contempt, retreated half a step, held the knife in both hands, and slashed at the waist.

Jia Chen did not retreat but advanced, quickly took a big step forward, grabbed into Xiao Biaozi's arms, and at the same time clenched his left fist, and suddenly blasted out, hitting the other party's heart.

Xiao Biaozi snorted, staggered back three or four steps in a row, and barely stabilized his figure.

Although they have only fought for two rounds, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jia Chen has the upper hand.

Jia Yuanchun was dumbfounded, surprised and delighted, and slightly relieved.

Xia Shouzhong's eyes were gloomy, and his face became ugly.

"Little Biaozi, haven't you eaten? Show off your housekeeping skills! Xia Shouzhong scolded, suggesting that Xiao Biaozi was ruthless.

"Yes!" How dare Xiao Biaozi slack off, holding the knife in both hands, using all his strength, and slashing at Jia Chen continuously.

Swing the knife quickly and ruthlessly, and the move hits the point.

Xiao Biaozi used the famous Qi family knife technique.

But Jia Chen was not in a hurry and easily blocked all the opponent's attacks.

He could have defeated Xiao Biaozi in less than two moves.

But in this way, it will seem that Xiao Biaozi is too wasteful, and it will also make his master Xia Shouzhong lose face.

In order to prevent Xia Shouzhong from becoming angry and resentful of Jia Yuanchun, and taking revenge for personal gain in the future, Jia Chen only used 20% of his strength to deal with Xiao Biaozi.

The two fought back and forth, and the little eunuchs who were watching thought that they were on equal footing.

But Xia Shouzhong had been immersed in martial arts for many years, and he was still keenly aware that Jia Chen didn't seem to be doing his best.

What he didn't know was that Jia Chen was not using a sword technique at all, but a Wudang Seven Star Sword Technique.

It's just that Jia Chen mostly chose the swing and slash in the swordsmanship, which is similar to the swordsmanship, which made Xia Shouzhong fail to see the clues.

Seeing that Jia Chen and Xiao Biaozi were inseparable, Jia Yuanchun's eyes trembled, clenched his handkerchief, and secretly sweated for Jia Chen.

After more than fifty rounds, Jia Chen shook Xiao Biaozi back two steps with a knife, then shook his wrist, held the knife in his backhand, and stabbed it towards the opponent's Heavenly Spirit Gai.

Xiao Biaozi shuddered and hurriedly jumped backwards.

"Bell!"

Jia Chen stabbed the ground with a backhand.

Xiao Biaozi broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly congratulated himself on his timely dodge.

But in the next moment, Jia Chen actually took the tip of the knife stuck on the ground as the fulcrum, jumped up in the air, twisted his waist to exert force, and kicked out two kicks in turn.

"Bang! Boom! ”

With two muffled sounds, his feet kicked on Xiao Biaozi's chest one after another.

Xiao Biaozi screamed, his body was like a kite with a broken string, flying backwards, breaking through layers of rain curtains, and flying upside down five or six meters before falling heavily on the ground and smashing a big splash.

"Poof—"

Xiao Biaozi opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes clutched his chest in shock, and he couldn't even crawl.

Xia Shouzhong's face was so angry that his face turned pale, but the corners of his lips raised a stiff smirk:

"Good skill! I declare that the winner of this contest is Ah Ying! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jia Yuanchun, and said in a strange manner:

"It's really gratifying and enviable that the female historian has such a strong guard with such martial arts!"

Jia Yuanchun knew that he had bad intentions, but he still had a gentle and warm smile on his face, and said politely:

"Xia Dujian praised it, my guards just won a trick and a half by luck."

Although he was modest, Jia Yuanchun's heart was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect Jia Chen to be unfathomable and have such a strong martial arts.

Most of the children and grandchildren of the Jia family are stubborn, they only know how to ask flowers and find willows, fight cocks and lackeys, eat, drink and have fun. Single-round martial arts, how can anyone compare to Jia Chen?

Xia Shouzhong stared at Jia Chen gloomily, and said with a smile:

"Fang Cai Xiao Biaozi used the Qi family's knife technique, but he was not proficient in learning, so he was defeated, if General Qi Jiguang personally used this set of knife techniques, the power must be extraordinary.

When General Qi comes to Beijing next time, we want to invite him to compete with you, I wonder if you are willing? ”

Jia Chen fearlessly agreed: "Listen to the arrangement of Lord Metropolitan Supervisor!" ”
