Chapter Thirty-Eight—The Three Contests

Meng Ran listened with relish, nodded in agreement from time to time, and when he heard this, he subconsciously asked, "So did you win or lose?"

Li Haoran snorted and said with disdain: "With my qualifications, I naturally won." ”

"Then you're in charge?"

"Nope. ”

“......”

At this moment, time seemed to have gone back more than ten years, back to the time when the two young people of Dadaomen competed.

I saw that there was a not very majestic building on the flat hilltop, and in front of the building group was a wide square paved with bluestone slabs, and there were many figures standing on the field, and two tall young men were surrounded by the figures.

The young man on the left is Liu Yuntian, he is tall, quite handsome, very upright and steady, but his thin lips destroy the original charm and demeanor, giving people a feeling of being indifferent;

With a 'start', the two figures intertwined.

You attack, I'll dodge.

Seven or eight rounds later, the tall Liu Yuntian Huo Ran pulled out the long knife at his waist and slashed at Li Haoran on the opposite side.

After Li Haoran dodged a few knives, he also drew his knife brazenly, and then the sound of thunderbolting long knives colliding was heard far away in the square.

The sword shines brightly, like a silver moon in the sky.

After more than fifty rounds, Li Haoran deliberately sold a flaw, Liu Yuntian didn't know what to do, and hurriedly waved his knife to attack it, and was hit in the chest by Li Haoran with an elbow, and when Liu Yuntian staggered back, there was already a bright knife on his shoulder.

Li Haoran put away his knife and stood upright, and after clenching his fists, he said softly: "Thank you Senior Brother Liu for your mercy." ”

Liu Yuntian looked at Li Haoran with a gloomy expression, and said in a hissed voice: "Senior Brother Li, I was careless for my brother just now, why don't you try again?"

Li Haoran's right hand gripped the handle of the knife fiercely, took a deep breath, and then said in a relaxed tone: "Then please ask Senior Brother for advice." ”

As soon as Liu Yuntian heard the word "teaching", he immediately roared and rushed towards Li Haoran, his figure was like a goshawk, and the lightning-like sword light slashed towards Li Haoran's head.

Li Haoran squinted his eyes slightly, and also waved his knife away.

Hearing only a 'click', the knives of the two had touched together, like a thunderclap on the flat ground.

The two of them separated and continued to swing their knives at each other.

Everyone in the big knife gate who was watching the battle from the sidelines was very worried, but they didn't expect the two to fight again after separating the winner, and as soon as they shot, they fought to the death without mercy.

In the face of Liu Yuntian's aggressive knife technique, Li Haoran was quite hesitant in his heart, he wanted the two to tie, and then go down the mountain smoothly by himself, after all, he had no intention of being in charge, and it was the best policy to leave, if he won, I am afraid it would be a little unsightly.

Li Haoran's thoughts were scattered, and there were small flaws in the change of moves.

Liu Yuntian seized the opportunity and slashed straight without hesitation, and for a while, his momentum was like a rainbow, suppressing Li Haoran to death. After five moves, Liu Yuntian turned into a flirtatious one, and the oblique blade broke through the air towards Li Haoran's abdomen.

Li Haoran, who had lost the opportunity, could only take a deep breath, making his abdomen dodge the blade, and even so, his coat had already broken a slender gap. The onlookers were all shocked, they never thought that Liu Yuntian's knife technique was so ruthless.

Liu Yuntian shouted vigorously, attacking again and again, and did not intend to let go of this rare opportunity. With a slash of his long knife, he slashed straight at Li Haoran's shoulder, looking like he was not dying.

Li Haoran roared angrily, the long knife in his hand waved like a tiger, entangled with Liu Yuntian's figure, everyone saw a chaotic figure, sparks splashed everywhere, and their hearts jumped quickly with the fierce battle on the field.

Among the onlookers, there was a girl in purple clothes, she was Ye Yufei, who was looking at the fighting figure with a nervous face at the moment, Bai Shengsheng's fists were clenched tightly, and her originally pretty and straight waist was slightly arched, as if she was ready to save people.

Looking at the increasingly fierce scene, Ye Yufei turned to Ye Xinyue on the side and said, "Daddy, please stop them, don't compare, it's not good if you are injured." ”

Ye Xinyue's face was cloudy, and she said softly: "Since it is their choice, let them finish the competition by themselves, they can't give up halfway and leave regrets in vain." ”

Ye Yufei stomped his foot lightly, turned around and continued to look at the sword shadow intently.

After a few breaths, the figure was scattered, and a long knife flew down to the bluestone slab, Li Haoran staggered back, his chest oozed blood, and he thought that he had been stabbed.

Liu Yuntian stood proudly in the middle, his face was very ugly, and there was no trace of joy after the victory.

Li Haoran tidied up his clothes slightly, came to Liu Yuntian's side, and said respectfully: "Senior Brother Liu's sword skills are profound and subtle, and they are really powerful, I am ashamed of myself." ”

Liu Yuntian's face was gloomy, and he immediately showed a weird smile, "Senior brother is polite, the same sect is learning from each other, and accidentally hurt you, it doesn't matter, right?"

Li Haoran shook his head, "It's just a small injury, it's not a big deal." Thank you for your mercy. ”

The two of them were politely interacting there, and a purple figure flew closer, she grabbed Liu Yuntian's arm and whispered, "Senior Brother Liu is really powerful." ”

Liu Yuntian didn't rush to see the beautiful woman's face, but glanced at Li Haoran, after he saw a pair of peaceful and calm eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Qianying on the side, and said softly: "It's far worse than me with Master, but Senior Brother Li's heat is still a little insufficient, so he lost to me." ”

Ye Yufei smiled coquettishly, "Senior brother is the most humble." ”

Just as she was about to continue talking, she heard a heavy cough, and saw Ye Xinyue, the head of the Big Dao Sect, come forward.

Ye Xinyue patted Liu Yuntian on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Yuntian, the big knife gate will be handed over to you in the future." ”

Liu Yuntian immediately knelt on his knees and said respectfully: "The disciple must live up to the high expectations of the master, and will definitely lead our Dadaomen to prosperity." ”

Ye Xinyue stretched out her hands and slowly helped Liu Yuntian up, "It's enough for you to have this heart, just work hard in the future." ”

The crowd of onlookers stepped forward to say hello, and then dispersed in twos and threes.

After the figure was sparse, Ye Xinyue looked at Li Haoran on the side, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Haoran, you will cultivate well in the future, don't live up to your master's expectations of you." You must be careful when traveling down the mountain. ”

Li Haoran gave a deep salute, "Thank you for the teachings of the master, the disciple must practice diligently." ”

"Don't forget what I said to you. ”

"The disciple will never forget. ”

These two words, which were ordinary in the ears of others, made Liu Yuntian's face change again and again, and Ye Yufei beside him asked in a coquettish voice: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you? Why is your face suddenly so ugly?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little tired. ”

"Then I'll send you back to rest. ”

"No need, I'll just go back by myself, you can accompany Master here. ”

"Alright then, go back and lie down. ”

"Good. ”

After Liu Yuntian left, Ye Xinyue said a few more words to Li Haoran, and then handed him a bulging purse and explained: "Haoran, it's not easy to walk the rivers and lakes, you can take this silver with you, don't be too shabby, don't be reluctant to eat and wear on weekdays." ”

Li Haoran knelt down with a 'plop', and kowtowed three times on the hard bluestone slab, "Disciple, thank you." ”

Ye Xinyue helped Li Haoran up, and said with a gloomy expression: "What, don't you want to call me uncle?"

"Uncle Shi..."

"Ugh..."

Li Haoran's eyes were filled with wisps of wetness, and then he walked down the mountain without looking back.

Ye Xinyue just quietly looked at the stubborn and somewhat desolate back.

After a while, Li Haoran's figure disappeared on the mountain road, Ye Yufei gently supported his father's arm, and said happily: "Daddy, let's go back." ”

Ye Xinyue smiled reluctantly and said: "Xiaoyu, you will have to live with Yuntian in the future, listen to him more on many matters, don't play with his temperament, don't play with the temper of the eldest lady, you have to be a virtuous and gentle wife, you know?"

Ye Yufei's cheeks were slightly red, and he responded softly: "I know, Daddy, my daughter will definitely become a good wife." ”

Afterwards, the father and daughter walked towards a building not far away, leaving behind a place of joy and sorrow that was difficult for outsiders to know.

On the other hand, after leaving the square, Li Haoran went straight down the mountain. He walked for a while, rested in the pavilion on the side of the mountain, first applied the wound with golden medicine, then tore a few strips of cloth and bandaged it roughly, and after healing the wound, continued to walk down the mountain.

After Li Haoran walked out of the mountain gate, he saluted in the direction of the sect, and then strode forward along the road. He had walked four or five miles when he saw a figure standing in the middle of the road in front of him, as if waiting for him.

Li Haoran walked in and took a look, it turned out to be Senior Brother Liu Yuntian, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, slowly took a few steps forward, and saluted Liu Yuntian, "Senior Brother Liu, are you waiting for me?"

"Naturally. Liu Yuntian's tone was light and light.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Naturally, there is. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You and I will compete again. ”

Li Haoran's expression was a little strange, and he said in a strange tone: "I am not Senior Brother Liu's opponent, so there is no need to compare." ”

Liu Yuntian snorted coldly, "I know you didn't do your best, and now that no one is watching, let's really fight a game." The loser, drill under the opponent's crotch, do you dare to fight?"

Li Haoran's face was extremely unnatural, "Forget it, I'm not my senior brother's opponent." I still have to hurry, so I won't talk to my senior brother more. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Haoran was about to walk past Liu Yuntian, and when the two were on the same line, a cold blade was on Li Haoran's shoulder, which was Liu Yuntian's long knife.

"Either fight me or I'll kill you, the choice is yours. ”

Li Haoran sighed, "Then please ask Senior Brother for more advice." ”

Then the two stood opposite each other, and invariably drew their swords and discarded their sheaths, and after a low roar, swung their knives and slashed.

This is the third fight between the two of them today.
