Chapter 22: Tournament Duel

"You're right, the weather is really good today, and it's perfect for your duel," a loud voice broke the silence of the woods.

Li Xiaotang hurriedly turned around and looked, and it turned out that there were two people behind them. A person, of course, he knows is. Lian Gongxi, the other person, he didn't know a very tall man dressed in black.

Li Xiaotang said with a smile. "Looks like you're still coming later than me. ”

Lian Gongzhu laughed a few times: "It doesn't matter if you come late, as long as you don't leave late, I hope you are not the one who is late, but it is possible that you are the one who leaves very late, and you may never be able to leave here." ”

"Looks like you know the outcome of this duel. ”

"Of course, if you look at the person next to me, you will understand, after all, the person next to me can be regarded as a first-class master in the rivers and lakes. ”

"I think you're talking too much, he's a second-rate master at best. ”

"Even then, I can still defeat you." Lian Gongjun is obviously very confident in his words.

Li Xiaotang looked at the man with his eyes, but the man in black did not speak. He stood there quietly, he was absolutely forbidden, his hands and feet, his limbs, his body, his hair, his whole body, every part of his body did not move, not even his heartbeat seemed to have any movement, but if you looked a little longer, you would find him in him. Every place seems to be moving, all the time, gently moving, if you punch it, no matter where it hits, you will be counterattacked by him.

There was absolutely no expression on his face, and in his hand was a long, narrow, long, heavy jet-black sword. His sword was still in its scabbard.

Li Xiaotang felt that this black man looked very scary and mysterious.

"What's wrong? Are you frightened by his expression?" asked Lian Gongjun with a smile. "How can there be such a thing in the world, why haven't I been scared by him before there is a competition? Are you just dreaming, are you two going together, or are you leaving him alone to duel with me?" Li Xiaotang asked loudly.

The black man with the sword did not speak, he still stood there quietly, as if he had merged with the earth forest.

Lian Gongxi slowly walked into his side: "Li Xiaotang is your death today, of course, the two of us are the only one who will duel with you, I just came to see the fun, I want to see you die under his sword with my own eyes." ”

Li Xiaotang suddenly stretched out his left hand. patted him on the shoulder and said, "I think what you said is too big, you better go to the side, otherwise it won't be good for us to hurt you in a while." ”

Lian Gongzhu stepped aside, faced the man in black and said, "I must kill him no matter what today." ”

The man in black said silently after a long while, "Yes." He just said one word, but the word seemed to be very loud and powerful.

Of course, Li Xiaotang also heard this word, and he thought to himself that this person's martial arts would indeed not be very weak, otherwise, he would definitely not be so calm. After all, people with high martial arts skills have always been so calm and don't like to talk much.

"Then your Excellency may draw your sword. ”

"Now is not the time. The man in black said coldly.

"When is the time for you to draw your sword?"

"I'll wait a minute. ”

"Then what are you waiting for?" Li Xiaotang asked curiously.

"I'm waiting for you to bring out your weapon," the black man said coldly.

After Li Xiaotang heard his words, he laughed loudly. "You don't have to wait. ”

"I'd love to know why. ”

"Because I don't need any weapons at all"

"Do you think you're confident enough to beat me?"

"Not necessarily, I think I may not be able to defeat you, but at least I won't lose at your hands."

"You don't have any weapons in your hands, so how can you duel with me?"

"I've never used any weapons. Li Xiaotang said with a smile.

"But I have a sword in my hand, and you have nothing in your hand. The sword in the black man's hand seemed to be constantly moving, as if he could draw his long sword at any moment.

"Yes, I see it, but I'm not afraid, you just pull out your long sword" Li Xiaotang. Still very confident, he thinks he is absolutely capable of knocking him out with his bare hands.

"It seems that you are a man who is confident that you can definitely defeat me," the man in black still stood there silently, motionless.

Lian Gongzhu stood aside and listened to their conversation, and felt very bored: "I said that I came to invite you with silver, not to let you talk nonsense with him here, what are you still doing there? Why don't you stab Li Xiaotang to death with a sword, as long as you can give him death, I will give you double the silver, what do you think?"

The man in black was very happy to hear him, so he held his sword tightly in his right hand, as if he was ready to strike.

"I really want to know how much silver he took out to let you take my life" Li Xiaotang asked with some curiosity, he also wanted to know how much his head was worth.

"1,000 taels of silver," the man in black said loudly, as if he thought 1,000 taels of silver was a lot.

"Oh, is my head worth so much silver?" Li Xiaotang seemed to be a little disbelieving.

Lian Gongzhu sneered a few times, and said slowly: "This is already the most silver I have ever produced, under normal circumstances, I will pay a maximum of 500 taels of silver for killing a person, you are twice as much as others, are you too little?"

"Yes, it's a bit much, but I'm afraid you'll lose all your money. ”

After listening to his words, Lian Gongzhu felt a little ridiculous: "I'm afraid you don't know who this man in black is, let me tell you." "I'd love to know who this black man was, after all, I also wanted to know what the martial arts of the first person I defeated was?" Li Xiaotang said very arrogantly.

"He is Shi Chengfeng, the most famous killer in the rivers and lakes in recent years, basically there is no living person under his sword, and his opponent will definitely not be able to escape his three moves. Lian Gongjun said very proudly.

"I haven't heard of the name Shi Chengfeng, but his name is very good, but I don't know if it's good or not" Li Xiaotang, of course, didn't know his name, and didn't know whether this person's kung fu was good or not, because when he came here for the first time, he didn't know anything about all the people and everything here, so he could only say this.

"It seems that you are indeed an unknown person in the rivers and lakes, no wonder you haven't even heard of his name, it seems that you are defeated today" Lian Gongjun said.
