I. Chapter 24: The Duel
Quietly.
As if he had made something wrong, Jiang Ming didn't dare to look directly into her gaze, and said in a panic: "I'...... It wasn't intentional, I just couldn't sleep, I didn't expect ......"
"Hmm. β
The beautiful woman replied lightly, slowly bent down, blew gently, and sat on the shore of the pond, quietly looking at the water.
Jiang Ming had the idea of retreating for a while, but in an instant, he remembered something, stepped forward hard, and sat down casually in a place far away from Yu Xinshuang.
"Thank you. β
Yu Chenshuang said: "What are you thanking me for no reason?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Ming's heart suddenly became much more steady, and he said leisurely: "There are so many things that happened today, thanks to you." β
"That's what I'm supposed to do, you don't have to take it to heart. β
Looking at the woman's plain appearance, Jiang Ming didn't care whether she cared or not, and blurted out: "No matter what, I still have to thank you." β
Yu Xinshuang suddenly smiled slightly, and said, "Why are you so strange tonight, are you nervous about tomorrow's competition?"
"Uh....." Jiang Ming really didn't expect this woman to ask himself, so he was stunned for a moment, and replied, "No...... A little bit. β
Yu Xinshuang turned her head to look, then looked at the lake again, couldn't see her expression, and said, "It can be seen that your master has high expectations for you." β
"However, I have always disappointed him, blaming me for being so useless, and during the day, I can't even protect my senior sister. Jiang Ming said and slowly lowered his head.
Yu Xinshuang looked at the deep and bright lake, and suddenly said: "You see that the moon is reflected in the water, it is clear and transparent, and people are also ......."
"Just ask for a clear conscience!"
The woman's words came slowly with the breeze, but they were deep and resolute......
......
In the early morning of the next day, the martial arts field was still full of people, and the B-shaped platform!
Jiang Ming stood on the stage, and his heart was so nervous that his nails were deeply sunk into his palms.
"I must not let Master and Master down!" he shouted frantically in his heart. He glanced at the T-shaped table from afar, where there seemed to be a pair of eyes that were always watching him.
"Due to the sudden accident yesterday, the competition was not successful, so it is postponed here. Here's ......"
"Jiang Ming No. 87 vs. No. 88 Chang Song! "
As soon as a loud voice fell, I saw a strong man flying to the top of the platform.
Chen Zhiyi in the audience looked nervous, but Li Mengru kept shouting loudly on the side: "Senior brother, come on, junior brother, you can do it!" This voice was crisp and pleasant, and it was very clear in a deep voice.
The sturdy man on the stage looked at Jiang Ming, but for some reason there was a hint of different emotion in his eyes, and after a long time, he slowly arched his hand and said: "Chang Song of the Cultivation Palace, ask for advice from senior brother!"
"Nourishing the Heart Hall Jiang Ming, I hope that my senior brother's subordinates will show mercy!"
"Begin!" After the two of them finished saluting, accompanied by a low and hurried voice from the elder of the Yizitai platform, the breath on the stage suddenly surged.
I saw that the sturdy man Chang Song slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand and stabbed it towards Jiang Ming. But Jiang Ming had no magic weapon to dodge, so he had to roll to the side and dodge.
"Senior brother, it's good!" Seeing that Jiang Ming had dodged the first blow, Li Mengru in the audience shouted even harder, her face slightly red. Chen Zhi said that it really didn't look like the girl's house, so he secretly pulled her sleeve, and the voice gradually disappeared.
Chang Song saw that he couldn't succeed in one blow, and he led the decisive battle with one hand, and suddenly the long sword trembled slightly, and a cold glow appeared, and a clear light pointed directly at Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming, who had just rolled up, was unstable, and hurriedly flashed to the left, stumbling, but he almost fell to the ground. The light passed, and a strand of black hair slowly fell.
Chen Zhiyi in the audience frowned tightly, and couldn't help but shout softly: "Ming'er, be careful!" Li Mengru saw that her gentle mother and relatives had shouted out, and she couldn't care about her image anymore, and shouted loudly: "Senior brother, come on!"
Jiang Ming listened to the voice of the audience, forcibly stabilized his mind, and operated his mental method, and for a while, the yellowish light condensed in front of him, directly forming a wall of light.
Chang Song stabbed with another sword, and the sharp blade went directly into the yellow wall of light two inches, "Ah!" No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't penetrate half a point anymore.
Li Mengru in the audience saw that Chen Zhiyi had been frowning, and couldn't help but comfort: "Mother, don't worry, junior brother can win!"
Chen Zhiyi stared at the high platform tightly, his worried expression did not decrease, and he said softly: "Your junior brother's mental method is the first, and the one called Chang Song is obviously a little deeper than your junior brother, and he also has the upper hand in weapons, I am afraid that this competition will ......."
Chen Zhiyi said that there was nothing to say, but Li Mengru said: "Mother, what are you afraid of? Although the junior brother's mental method is the first priority, that Chang Song is not much higher! Moreover, the junior brother is vigorous and flexible, and the chance of winning is naturally there." Don't worry. β
"I hope so!" Chen Zhiyi was also speechless, staring at the two people on the stage tightly.
At this time, Chang Song's long sword was inserted into the wall of light, stalemate, and suddenly the long sword was clear and vibrating, and it shook violently, and the yellow wall of light was slowly annihilated from the crack of the sword!
Jiang Ming barely supported it, and his face was already slightly pale. At this time, seeing the faint cracking of the wall of light, he immediately gave up resistance and retreated into the distance.
The wall of light dissipated in an instant, and the iron sword was no longer resistant, and stabbed forward directly, but Jiang Ming had already dodged in advance, and the blade of the sword slammed into the wooden stake. Chang Song twisted his body again, and suddenly sawdust flew sideways, and the sword body swept horizontally.
Jiang Ming looked at the cold mang that was getting closer and closer, jumped into the air, and quickly evacuated like a bird, and when he kicked out, he hit Chang Song's back.
"Good!"
"Come on, junior brother!"
This time, the audience cheered one after another. Chen Zhiyi's heart was also slightly relieved, didn't he really let Ru'er, the kid, say it.
Chang Song on the stage only felt the force on his back, and couldn't stop running forward for a few steps before he barely stabilized his body, then turned his head to look at Jiang Ming, and said, "Good kung fu!" turned to raise the long sword, and for a while, the aura of heaven and earth gathered, and the clear light was wrapped around the tip of the sword, and there was a faint sound of wind!
Jiang Ming watched the other party's movements, and a sense of oppression suddenly rose in his heart, this is probably a blow that will determine the outcome of the battle......
Jiang Ming didn't dare to be careless, and immediately operated his mental method, and the yellow light surrounded again, slowly condensed in his palm, and took the initiative to rush forward......
And Chang Song had already gathered at this moment, his body was slight, and he held a sword in his right hand and stabbed forward.
For a time, the wind was surging, the light was shining, and everyone did not change color for it!
This is the moment to decide the winner......
"Senior brother!"
This shout, Jiang Ming heard it clearly in the noise!
Senior brother, if you can't choose, even if I choose, I won't go......
At this moment, this sentence echoed in his mind, he used his palm as a knife, and the yellow light jumped, facing the blade in front of him!
Jiang Ming and Chang Song were so close that in the dazzling clear light, it seemed to see his strange eyes......
The blade of the sword was slightly off, and the sound of clanging echoed in his ears. Jiang Ming's hand that had already swung out, like an arrow off the string, hit Chang Song's chest directly, knocking him out.
......
The light slowly dissipated, and Jiang Ming looked at Chang Song who fell to the side in disbelief.
"Senior brother, you won!"
Listening to the voice from the audience, Jiang Ming's expression was slightly complicated, and he didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chang Song, and asked suspiciously: "How are you..."
"Ahem....." The stout man looked quite pained, stood up, and said, "It's me who lost, and you're too heavy!"
"This one, No. 67 Jiang Ming, win!"
Jiang Ming just wanted to speak again, but he heard a gust of wind, Li Mengru had already flown to the stage, looked at him tightly, and said happily: "Senior brother, I knew you would win!"
Jiang Ming looked at Chen Zhiyi, who was full of relief under the lookout, and his heart was mixed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Hey, what do you want! You still have such a bitter face after winning!" Li Mengru patted Jiang Ming's shoulder hard and said dissatisfiedly.
"Uh......" Looking at the playful woman in front of him, Jiang Ming put a lot of miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind, squeezed out a smile and said, "I won ......"
He couldn't help but think about it, he even had a little bit of luck, that is, I really won. But his mind was full of Chang Song's eyes with a different meaning.
Li Mengru looked at Jiang Ming, who had lost his soul, and said angrily: "Isn't it just winning? What are you doing standing here, go down!", he dragged his arm and walked off the stage.
Jiang Ming responded, and followed Li Mengru to Chen Zhiyi's face. Chen Zhiyi smiled all over his face, patted his body, and said softly: "I didn't expect you to have two more hits, so I'm worried for a while!"
Jiang Ming smiled rather dumbly and scratched his head.
Li Mengru glanced at him and said, "Don't stand stupidly, hurry up and tell my father, he must be worried too!"
"Yes!" Chen Zhiyi also just reacted, and hurriedly said: "Let's go, make your master happy!"
After saying that, the three of them happily walked towards the T-shaped platform, only Jiang Ming glanced at the sturdy figure in the distance with a complicated expression. It's just that the doubts in my heart are quickly diluted by the joy in front of me.
The T-shaped platform was also lively, surrounded by many disciples watching the battle. And above was another battle, Li Changfeng was sitting in the elder seat with an expressionless face, but his eyes looked in the other direction from time to time.
Li Mengru saw it from a distance, so she didn't wait for Jiang Ming and Chen Zhiyi, and ran over directly.
"Alas, you slow down!" Chen Zhizhi, Li Mengru, who was in a hurry, also shook her head and said angrily: "Look at your senior sister, how can you look like this!
Jiang Ming smiled, but Chen Zhiyi suddenly raised his head, and said with a straight face: "When I meet your master, you have to talk to him well, and you always say that you are not successful." No, it's not worse than others!"
Hearing Shi Niang make fun of herself, Jiang Ming was a little embarrassed, and said heavily: "Shi Niang!"
Chen Zhiyi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's go!"
As soon as the two arrived at the T-shaped platform, they saw Li Mengru standing beside Li Changfeng dancing and explaining. And Li Changfeng was still looking at the competition on the stage with a serious face, and he didn't know if he was listening.
After this competition was over, Li Changfeng turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ming, although he still had a serious face, his eyes were slightly filled with a different kind of light.
"Master. Jiang Ming happened to look at him, looking at those gentle eyes, his heart was excited, as if he had a thousand words to say, but there were only these two words.
