Chapter 142: Recovering a City
Gui Ming took a long breath and stepped into it. He only heard the squeaking of the soles of his shoes on the coals, and he already felt the heat on the soles of his feet, and secretly said in his heart that he had prepared in advance.
By the time he reached the end of the road, the wet layer of dirt in his shoes had been dried out, but fortunately there was still a layer of linen insulation, otherwise his feet would have been ripe.
Gao Hun was slightly ahead of Gui Ming and rushed out of Huotan Road. The two sides began the final straight sprint. Neither of them let anyone, they were both sprinting desperately.
At this moment, the physical strength of the two of them has been consumed a lot, and Gui Ming sees that Gao Hun is about to cross the finish line one step ahead of himself, and he can only fight at this time. He used all his strength to rush forward, leaning forward so hard that he almost collided with Gao Hun at the same time.
Another draw. No one expected that there would be two draws after the duel between the three subjects. The fierce competition and the proximity of strength have never been seen in previous years.
However, Long Xiangwei won a victory after all, and he still had a slight advantage overall. They only need to win one of the last two subjects, and this year's winner will be theirs.
After the duel just now, everyone's physical exertion is very serious. But this is the four guards of the forbidden army, the more extreme it is, the more you must stimulate your potential.
"How is it, Ming Shao, are you okay. Yu Zhong handed over a bowl of water and asked.
Gui Ming took the water and poured it directly into his mouth, and then said angrily: "His grandmother's, I didn't expect this Gao Hun to have two hits, it seems that I still underestimate him." The next subject must be won. ”
Because Teng Longwei and Tiger Guard did not win a game in the first three subjects, the remaining two subjects became a duel between Dragon Guard and Dragon Guard.
Before I knew it, the sun had climbed into the sky, and it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon.
"His Royal Highness said, everyone is tired, let's rest for an hour and fight again. The herald eunuch shouted.
Hearing this, the onlookers dispersed one after another, all discussing the wonderful competition in the morning. Others were predicting the winner of the afternoon and even opened a betting market.
Hearing that everyone thought that Gao Hun would win the duel in the afternoon, Gui Ming was extremely unconvinced, and shouted that he would give Gao Hun a good look in the afternoon.
Yu Zhong smiled and said: "It's no wonder, you barely forced Gao Hun to reconcile in the morning two games, and he still has a victory in one subject in his hand, and it is normal for everyone to be optimistic about him." ”
Gui Ming replied: "Is that what I call cleverness, that is wisdom, how can you have the same insight as them." ”
"Haha, of course I'm optimistic about you, I'll see you in a while. Yu Zhong patted Guiming on the shoulder and said.
After an hour of rest and replenishment. The martial arts duel of the fourth section is finally about to begin.
In the center of the school yard is a large circle, and on each side is a row of weapon racks, on which are placed various blades.
The rules of this scene are very simple, and you can choose eighteen weapons at will. The two face off until one of them is knocked out of the circle or throws in the towel.
On the viewing platform, Ji Lie looked at Guiming with interest. Although it seems that Gao Hun's strength is a little stronger, but I don't know why, he just has inexplicable confidence in Guiming.
Maybe I think the two of them have a little bit of similarity in their personalities, they both don't play cards according to common sense, and they both like to be smart.
At this time, Gui Ming and Gao Hun were already standing in the circle. Gui Ming chose a long sword, which was also his most convenient weapon. Gao Hun chose a Xuanhua axe.
The onlookers commented that this sword was light and agile, and it was very suitable for one-on-one duels. And the Xuanhua axe is not only a little bulky, it is difficult to use, and the change of moves is relatively slow, how could Gao Hun choose a weapon with such obvious shortcomings.
How do you know that this Gao Hun specializes in this, and he is a master of the axe. His purpose in choosing Xuanhua Axe is obvious, that is, he wants to fight quickly.
Standing on the sidelines was Chen Nahai, the commander of Long Xiangwei, squinting his eyes and smiling, as if he was also full of confidence in Gao Hun.
Gui Ming was not affected by the outside of the field, I saw him smile slightly and make a gesture of invitation. It means let Gao Hun do it first.
This action directly angered Gao Hun, and he thought that Guiming was looking down on him. In fact, Gui Ming just wanted to test his axe path first.
Gao Hun, who was enraged, came up and made a move to split the mountain to save his mother, and attacked Guiming with great force. The speed and strength of this move were so fast and powerful that they even exceeded Gui Ming's expectations, so frightened that he hurriedly jumped out of the way.
I only heard a bang, and the axe blade obviously did not touch the ground, but a deep axe mark appeared on the ground. Before Guiming came back to his senses, the next axe had already arrived in front of him.
"Good fellow, with such a fierce axe, it seems that it is impossible to fight hard. Gui Ming didn't dare to hold it up, so he rolled over and dodged it again.
The Xuanhua axe, which was supposed to be very bulky, seemed to have no weight in Gao Hun's hands, and he was dancing with a tiger. No matter how Gui Ming dodged, the axe seemed to be glued to him, chasing him all the time.
At this moment, although Guiming was holding a sword in his hand, he was forced to be unable to make a counterattack, so he could only keep dodging in the circle, falling into a very passive situation.
Yu Zhong watched from the sidelines and sweated for him. Although no matter how good the axe technique is, it has the disadvantage of being a little slow to change moves, but the premise of making people change moves is that you have to have the opportunity to make a move.
This high-caliber axe technique is fierce and domineering, and the speed of the move is fast, and there is no gap at all. Yu Zhong felt that even if he was replaced, I am afraid that he would not be able to find any good way.
"Boy, what kind of hero are you if you blindly run away. Gao Hun shouted while chasing Gui Ming's non-stop attack.
"If you can't beat it, of course you have to run. "Guiming is straightforward, and what to say is also angry and funny.
Seeing him like this, Long Xiangwei's people watching the battle also laughed. The other Sanwei people all had solemn faces and couldn't laugh, after all, if Guiming lost, their faces would be dull.
Although Gui Ming said so, in fact, after dodging these dozen moves, he already had a certain understanding of Gao Hun's axe technique, and he almost had a general plan to break the enemy in his heart.
I saw that Gao Hun was sweeping the leaves in the autumn wind again, and he was attacking the next plate. Gui Ming jumped behind Gao Hun easily, and before he could stand firmly, the axe light had already reached the front door.
But Gui Ming seemed to have expected this move, and he was no longer as embarrassed as before, but with a slight bow, the axe blade wiped his hair.
Everyone else exclaimed that it was dangerous, only Yu Zhong understood it, and he smiled slightly, knowing that Guiming had mastered the key to victory.
At this time, Gao Hun's offensive was getting stronger and stronger, and he originally intended to win quickly, but the two fought for dozens of rounds, but instead of achieving their goal, their physical strength became more and more depleted. At this time, you can only give it a go, and then don't leave your hand and attack with all your might.
But Guiming has completely mastered the path of the axe, and it is time to fight back.
Only a sword roar was heard, and the long sword in Guiming's hand suddenly soared, turning into ten thousand points of cold light, enveloping Gao Hun in it. Suddenly, the situation on the field reversed.
Although Gao Hun's axe method is domineering in attack, he is passive everywhere in defense. Originally, he had consumed most of his physical strength when attacking, but at this time he was already a little overwhelmed, and he was panting heavily.
Looking at Guiming again, he is becoming more and more energetic, and the sword momentum is getting faster and faster. A long sword bites like a silver snake and doesn't let go.
"Lao Gao, you have to come on, why is your physical strength insufficient?"
He didn't have the strength to reply, so he could only keep scolding in his heart. In fact, if he hadn't been in a hurry, he might not have lost to Guiming.
Martial arts competitions are often like this, in the case of close strength, mentality and luck can also determine the outcome of the victory.
"The outcome has been decided. Yu Zhong sat down and began to drink tea comfortably.
Gao Hun naturally refused to admit defeat easily, and he used his last physical and internal strength on the last move.
"Breaking the sky!" only heard him shout, and the Xuanhua axe in his hand swept towards Guiming with the momentum of destroying the world and destroying the earth.
Before the blade of the axe arrived, the momentum had already cut through Gui Ming's sleeve, and he immediately knew the power of this move. But he didn't dodge, but instead raised his sword to meet it, intending to take this move hard.
Suddenly, only a crisp sound was heard, and everyone didn't see Gui Ming's move clearly, and they couldn't see it clearly at all.
I saw a broken axe flying out of the way, and Gao Hun also flew out of the field like a kite with a broken string.
The audience was silent, and even Ji Lie on the viewing platform stood there with his mouth wide open in surprise. After a long while, the audience suddenly erupted in thunderous applause, whether you saw it clearly or not, Gui Ming won anyway. This is a cause for many to celebrate.
Yu Zhong was still drinking tea on the side and sitting calmly.
"Good boy, I didn't expect his swordsmanship to improve like this now. Yu Zhong secretly praised in his heart, and the moment just now was still replayed in his mind.
Perhaps only a few of those present could see clearly, and in the midst of the lightning and flint, Gui Ming's long sword struck the handle of the axe like lightning, splitting it in two. At the same time, his left hand turned into a fist and hit Gao Hun's chest with an inch of strength. This is the scene that everyone saw later.
"In this section, Gui Ming of the Imperial Dragon Guard wins!" the eunuch announced.
The crowd cheered and lifted Gui Ming down, as if they had won the final victory. In this way, the score between them and Long Xiangwei came to one win each.
The final section will be the winner of this year's competition.
Ji Lie looked at the cheering crowd in the field, and suddenly on a whim, he called the herald eunuch over and whispered a few words.
While listening, the eunuch nodded again and again, and then walked down and announced: "Your Royal Highness said that the question of the formation has been temporarily revised, and the place and time have been changed to tomorrow, the camp of Xishan. ”
After announcing the news, Ji Lie stood up and left the viewing platform. When I left, I also took a few more glances at Guiming under the field.
Everyone present didn't quite understand this temporary change, but Gui Ming seemed to understand a little.
This Xishan camp is the most complete and largest battalion of the forbidden army in Zhongjing, and it seems that the second prince wants to play something different.
