Chapter 66: The Second Swordsman Xin Ling
"Okay, then bet on this sword!" Seeing Cang Hong, Xiang Ye's heart couldn't help but rise a little greedy, since ancient times, the famous sword with the hero, since he learned the Xianglong swordsmanship, he always had an illusion, an illusion that the Xianglong swordsmanship would help him reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship, but he forgot that Gai Nie also said that when he taught him this set of swordsmanship that day, he would let him go to Taihang Mountain three years later and teach him another set of swordsmanship.
The bet had been agreed, and the two of them said no more, and turned over and jumped off their horses one after another, and rushed towards each other with their swords.
As soon as the two came into contact, Xiang Ye felt the fierceness of Xin Ling's sword, and at the same time, he was also glad that he did not draw his sword with Xin Nong on the spur of the moment by the Yellow River.
Every time Xin Ling made a sword, he attacked Xiang Ye's vital point, and every time he made a move, the speed was extremely fast, Xiang Ye didn't have time to use his Xianglong sword technique, he just dodged and was beaten everywhere.
With a "snort", Xiang Ye was slashed by Xin Ling on the shoulder, and the clothes on his shoulder were suddenly cut open, revealing the smooth skin inside, fortunately, this sword did not hurt his flesh and skin.
After eating this sword, Xiang Ye was immediately furious, since he learned the Xianglong swordsmanship from Gai Nie, he had never suffered such a loss, he shouted, raised his sword and slashed Xin Ling towards the sword above his head, and the long sword in his hand flipped over, and stabbed straight at Xin Ling's waist ribs.
Xin Ling's long sword was opened, he was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped back, only to hear a "hiss", and the clothes around his waist were pierced through by Xiang Ye's sword, which immediately shocked him into a cold sweat.
The master made a move, and the victory or defeat was only in an instant, Xin Ling's shirt was pierced by Xiang Ye, and he was about to fight back with a sword, but the long sword in Xiang Ye's hand did not retreat, but suddenly changed an angle and slashed horizontally towards Xin Ling's waist.
The angle of this sword was extremely tricky, and it was impossible for Xin Ling to dodge it no matter which direction he dodged.
He was very ruthless, gritted his teeth, and stabbed the long sword in his hand straight against his body.
After a crisp sound of gold and iron, Xiang Ye and Xin Ling respectively used some strength on their swords, and retreated with the help of the other party's reaction force.
After taking four or five steps back, Xiang Ye threw the long sword to his chest, winked at Xin Ling and said, "Ten moves, you can't kill me if there are ten more moves, your sword is mine!" β
Xin Ling's face was pale, he fought just now, although it was only a few moves, but he already felt that Xiang Ye was not an opponent he could subdue within twenty moves, before the fight, he thought that twenty moves were too conservative, and after the fight, he even had a feeling that even if he fought two hundred moves, it was impossible to distinguish a winner or loser.
The two were about to stand up and fight again, but they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind them, and a person shouted at them from afar: "Two heroes, fight slowly, let Xia Houying say something!" β
Hearing this person's shout, Xiang Ye and Xin Ling glanced at each other and inserted their long swords back into their sheaths.
A moment later, Xiahou Ying, Meng Su and others caught up, and after catching up, Xiahou Ying turned over and dismounted, first arched his hand towards Xiang Ye, and then arched his hand to Xin Ling and said, "Why are you two?" Isn't this the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and my family doesn't recognize my family? β
As soon as Xiang Ye and Xin Ling heard Xiahou Ying's words, they immediately frowned and looked at Xiahou Ying.
"Alas!" Xiahou Ying sighed, pulled Xiang Ye over and said to Xin Ling: "Mr. Xin Ling, this name is Xiang Ye, I was besieged by the man in black just now, if it weren't for Mr. Xiang, I would have been poisoned." β
After that, he introduced Xin Ling to Xiang Ye again: "Xiang Yingying, this is Mr. Xin Ling of Wu Yue Sword Shrine, and he is one of the eight chief swordsmen under the seat of the master of the Sword Shrine, both of them are friends of our Great Chu, how did they fight here?" β
After Xiahou Ying introduced the two, Xin Ling looked at Chiji with some reluctance, shook his head and smiled bitterly, while Xiang Ye also looked at the blue rainbow hanging from Xin Ling's waist with some affection, and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva dryly.
The eyes of the two naturally can't hide from Xiahou Ying, but Xiahou Ying doesn't know how to meet their wishes very reasonably, what they covet is the treasure of each other's side, if they let them exchange with each other, it is impossible, unless they completely offend one person, it is impossible to find a way to get the best of both worlds.
Therefore, although Xiahou Ying saw the thoughts of the two, she had to pretend not to see them, and said to the two: "Since everyone is destined for each other, why don't we go to Chengyang together and meet General Xiang and Pei Gong." β
The corners of Xin Ling's mouth twitched, and he said with a slight smile: "No need, I still have some things to do, if there is a chance in the future, I will go to visit from now on, but I don't know who attacked Mr. Xiahou before?" β
Xiahou Ying shook his head and said, "I don't know, those people are dressed in black and cover their faces with face scarves, although Xiang Hero killed six of them, but when I uncovered their face scarves, I found that none of them were familiar with us. β
"How are their sword moves, can Mr. Xiahou see clearly?" Xin Ling frowned and asked, what they were ordered to do this time was very important, and there was no mistake in the middle, from the attack on Xiahou Ying, he smelled a trace of danger, and always felt that this attack on Xiahou Ying seemed to be somewhat related to what they were going to do.
Xiahou Ying thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't have any research on swordsmanship, it's just that those people are extremely fast, and they led a group of knights to gallop wildly, and they still caught up with them on foot......"
When Xiahou Ying said this, Xin Ling suddenly raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said with a frown: "The body technique is extremely fast, and the swordsmanship is average, hehe, it turns out that they have also come to this troubled water!" β
After that, he waved to Xin Tong and the others behind him and said, "Go!" I'm afraid we'll encounter something interesting on the road this time. β
Xin Ling's reaction made Xiang Ye and Xiahou Ying feel a little puzzled, they looked at Xin Ling in understanding, but Xin Ling didn't give them any explanation, but arched his hand at them and said: "Two, Xin Ling has taken his leave, the matter explained by the master's family is urgent, I can't go to see General Xiang and Pei Gong this time, and I hope that Mr. Xiahou will help me apologize!" β
After that, he turned around and walked towards the horse not far away, and after turning over on the horse, he looked at Xiang Ye's red horse again, and shouted to Xiang Ye: "Xiang Ye, the competition between you and me is not over today, although I will definitely not be able to kill you in twenty moves, but after all, the competition is not over, and I still have to keep the sword." You wait, I'll come back sooner or later to take your life and that horse, hahahaha! β
Xiang Ye also arched his hand towards Xin Ling and said: "Xin Ling, if you lose today, you will naturally lose, I will lend you the rainbow for your use, and I will definitely return it in the future!" β
"Good! Deal! Xin Ling let go of his fist-clasping hands, smiled at Xiang Ye, shook the reins of his horse and hurried towards the east.
Xin Tong and the others also bowed their hands to Xiahou Ying and Xiang Ye, their eyes were extremely complicated when they said goodbye to Xiang Ye, with a little appreciation and a little worry.
After saying goodbye to Xiahou Ying and Xiang Ye, Xin Tong and the others also turned over and rode on horseback, and rushed out after Xin Ling.
After Wu Yue's people from the Sword Shrine left, Xiahou Ying said to Xiang Ye: "Xiang Yingying, it seems that Xin Ling is very interested in you, you have to be careful in the future!" β
"Oh?" Xin Ling was very polite to Xiang Ye when he was leaving, so that Xiang Ye couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him, Xiahou Ying's words suddenly extinguished a lot of his just feelings, and he asked a little puzzled: "Why does Mr. Xiahou want me to take more precautions against him?" β
Xiahou Ying looked in the direction where Xin Ling and the others left, the figures of Xin Ling and the others had completely disappeared in the night, he pouted and smiled and said to Xiang Ye: "The eight chief swordsmen under the seat of the master of Wu Yue Sword Shrine are 'Jun Ling Huanyu, Haotian Tongning' in alphabetical order, although these eight people are all extraordinary in swordsmanship, their personalities are different. Xin Ling is the second swordsman, a yin owl, if something is taken by him, in order to seize it, he would rather kill hundreds of people than get it. β
Xiang Ye frowned and listened to Xiahou Ying's words, a knot in his heart was finally untied, he finally understood why Xin Tong and the others had that expression on their faces when they saw Xin Ling wanting to snatch Chiji, it turned out that they were also tired of Xin Ling's personality, but they had to fight for the tiger and help him kill people and sell goods because they had been succumbing to him.
When he met Gai Nie, Xiang Ye completely lost his affection for Wu Yue Sword Tomb, and all of Chi Xue'e's caravan was executed, plus Xin Nong chased and killed Gai Nie, all of which were aimed at people close to him. This approach made Xiang Ye feel very unhappy, and he had a battle with Xin Ling tonight, and he originally had some sympathy, but he was crushed by Xiahou Ying's words.
But it was this kind of affection for Xin Ling that was shattered, which made him feel that Wu Yue's sword mound was very complicated, and there must be some unknown secrets in it, and maybe there was some infighting among them, but Xiang Ye and other outsiders didn't know about it.
Xiang Ye shook his head vigorously, no longer thinking about these complicated things, since he traveled to this era, he has been living in intrigues, he seems to be a chess piece, at the mercy of others in the chess game laid out by various forces.
Xiang Ye thought of Yu Fanjun, when he came to this era, only the man who was so bold and almost naΓ―ve that he really treated him like a brother, but it was a pity that he appeared in this era when Yu Fanjun was about to face death, and he also thought about helping Yu Fanjun escape from his bad luck, so he participated in that battle with no chance of winning.
It was also in that battle that Xiang Ye really felt the weakness of a person's strength, although he knew how history would develop, although he knew that Yu Fanjun would die in that battle, although he really wanted to make a little change in history through his own efforts, but in the end he did nothing.
