Chapter 20: Sleepless on the Couch (12) Brothers
For dinner, I rarely ate the braised pork that Xia Qian liked, and I ate a few more pieces with my greedy mouth, and my cheeks were bulging and chewing hard. He opened his lips to reveal a slit, muttering out a few words in a slurred manner.
"What kind of bet did you make with Xia Cheng?"
Xia Yu walked away, and when he heard his question, he replied: "We agreed that the loser will go to jump to the East Pool." “
Xia Qian swallowed the last piece of meat, and his throat was covered with a layer of oil. "What is Dengdong Pond?"
Xia Yu glanced at him: "It's a manure tank." ”
Xia Qian imagined it slightly, his facial features were raised, his stomach was tumbling, and the delicious taste he had just eaten turned into a disgusting taste in his mouth. He bent over his mouth to vomit.
"Thanks to your reminder, I'm going to find him. Xia Yu stood up and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Xia Qian stretched out his hand to grab him.
Xia Yu replied seriously: "He lost, I will ask him to fulfill the agreement." Do you want to come and see it?"
Xia Qian hurriedly waved his hand, imagined it again, and the cat hurried out to vomit.
It was especially lively that night, Xia Yu went to Xia Cheng's bed to find him, and dragged him to Dengdongchi, a group of people watched the play and made a fool of themselves, making noise and making noise.
Xia Yu enjoyed it, he embarrassed others for the first time, and joked with his classmates for the first time. They might be slowly accepting him, he thought.
Xia Qiong stood in the cultivation ground, waving the sword in his hand, concentrating on the formula. The shadow of the sword in the air was cascading, but it quickly disappeared. He let out a long sigh of relief, and a drop of sweat ran from the corner of his forehead across the tail of his brow. He remembered the thousand-fold sword technique used by Xia Yu during the day, and he was so angry that he slammed his sword to the ground.
There was a crisp "bang", and then a black figure appeared in front of him.
Xia Qiong lowered her head in a hurry and didn't dare to look directly.
The shadow picked up the fallen sword and handed it back to him. "You're restless. ”
Xia Qiong lowered her head even more and took the sword. He feigned composure: "No." ”
The black shadow said: "You should know that I am very optimistic about you, otherwise I would not have taught you to point the pulse." “
Xia Qiong replied: "The disciple knows, the disciple will definitely live up to your expectations. ”
The black shadow nodded slightly: "As long as you can get the first place in this reorganization competition, I will personally cultivate you." ”
Xia Qiong looked up in surprise, and her grateful gaze overflowed her eyes. He said solemnly: "Please rest assured, I will definitely win." No matter what method is used. ”
The dark clouds moved away, and the moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating half of Xia Qiong's face, and half of her face was still melting into the darkness. It's weird.
At the end of the next day, the muffled drum sounded on time, and when Xia Qian woke up, Xia Yu had been awake for a long time sitting at the head of the bed. He bowed his head in contemplation, and his mood did not fluctuate. He took his sword and went out.
Ten examiners have arrived on the field, and they are seated in the evaluation seats. Unlike the first day of the game, today's scene seemed particularly solemn. Xia Lang and Jiu Xiaozi also went to the viewing platform in the morning, and the viewing area was also full.
Sure enough, the competition between the first and last place places was so eye-catching.
Xia Qian quietly sat down in the vacant seat next to Xia Lin and asked, "What's wrong with his hand?"
Xia Lin looked at him sideways, and because he didn't say it, he deflected the topic: "You seem to be paying attention to him." ”
Xia Qian's eyes lit up: "Is there any? Am I so obvious? No, in fact, I'm just curious." ”
Xia Lin looked ahead again. "The game is about to begin. ”
Before the drums, a rare salute was fired, like thunder, and colorful smoke and dust spread over the entire arena, which was particularly dazzling under the eastern morning light.
This pungent cannon fodder Xuanjun seized the master, grabbed the attention of many people, and they all looked to the sky. I don't know who suddenly shouted, "Look at the field!" and everyone's eyes were on the ring again.
Xia Qiong had already pressed the horizontal sword on Xia Yu's shoulder, and the blade was three points close to his neck. The atmosphere suddenly burned so much that people forgot to breathe.
Xia Qiong's fierce light flashed from the bottom of his eyes, and his right hand with the sword swung fiercely, and the blade of the sword cut straight at the meridians on his neck. Xia Yu tilted her head and almost dodged, but she was still cut off a strand of hair. When the wind blew, the hair flew away.
Xia Yu's heart was pounding, and he took a few sharp breaths to stabilize his mind. Xia Qiong's next sword had already slashed into his ear again. Xia Yu raised his sword in his left hand to block it, but he didn't know that Xia Qiong's sword was so powerful that his arm was numb. He knew that Xia Qiong's strength was by no means the same as yesterday's Xia Cheng, and he was not an opponent who could win with his left hand alone. And today's Xia Qiong was silent, his concentration was abnormal, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was eager to burn him to death.
Xia Yu secretly thought to herself, and pointed her finger to deliberately cast a formation, but Xia Qiong instantly saw through it. He plunged his sword between Xia Yu's feet, and Xia Yu hurriedly jumped up, interrupting the formation. Xia Qiong rushed to the gap in front of Xia Yu's arms at this time, held the sword in one hand as a support, raised a high foot at his defenseless chin, kicked him out violently, and fell heavily to the ground.
The audience exclaimed in surprise at Xia Qiong's smooth fight.
Xia Qian frowned, grabbed his trouser legs, and was nervous. Xia Lin looked at him quietly.
Xia Yu fell to the ground bitterly, and before she could feel the pain from her back bones. Xia Qiong's formation had already appeared under his feet, and the golden path had the momentum of breaking bamboo, like a sensitive earth snake rushing towards him. Xia Yu hurriedly stood up, away from the pursuit of the golden light.
He circled around the arena, he knew that the distance of this golden path was limited, and it would not last long, as long as he could get rid of this distance and delay time, he could wait for Xia Qiong to lose his strength and cancel the implementation of the formation by himself.
But he miscalculated, Xia Qiong's strength is immeasurable. Although he was running around the ring on the largest scale, the golden path of Xia Qiong's formation had no intention of weakening at all, and even became faster and faster in speed. He had to change his countermeasures and attack Xia Qiong himself.
He braked suddenly, flipped on his toes, and rushed behind Xia Qiong with his sword. In order not to let him be guarded, he deliberately accumulated spiritual power under his feet, making his running lighter and faster, and not easy to detect. Seeing that he was getting closer to his target, he swung his sword out.
Xia Qiong closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, and then the corners of her mouth were hooked.
Suddenly, the golden light on the stage dissipated, the footsteps stopped abruptly, and the wind flow brought by running also stopped.
Xia Yu's sword stopped an inch away from the back of Xia Qiong's head, not because he stopped on purpose, but because he couldn't move. Xia Qiong's formation appeared at his feet at some point. At this point, he kept his feet off the ground and kept his feet on the ground. The sermon on the formation was wrapped all over his body, and it would make him float in the air.
"What's going on? How did this formation appear here. Xia Yu turned his head with difficulty to look around, but saw that there was a burst of magic in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions of the ring, and it was supposed to be left by him when he ran laps.
"This is!Four Elephant Arrays?" Xia Yu exclaimed.
Xia Qiong sneered.
The so-called four-elephant array is to cast a formation in the southeast, northwest, and northwest to deal with the opponent who flees quickly, and multiple formations are like traps, the more traps, the higher the probability of the opponent being caught. However, using the Four Elephant Array alone can only increase the number of formations, but has no actual attack power, and it is necessary to apply other formations on this basis to play a role.
Although Xia Qiong learned a lot of formation diagrams, but the speed of drawing the formation was not fast enough, in order to hide people's eyes, he first used the Four Elephant Array to deliberately drive Xia Yu to run on the field to buy time for him, and then imposed a low-level restraint array on the Four Elephant Array, which complemented each other.
"I knew you weren't going to do it on me as soon as you came, thanks to you running for so long. Xia Qiong put down his left hand to cast the formation, and the four elephant arrays moved towards Xia Yu from all directions, overlapping the formation at Xia Yu's feet together, reinforcing the power of the binding array.
"Huh. Xia Yu snorted bitterly in pain, and the sermon was carved into his exposed skin like a red-hot iron chain.
Xia Qiong didn't look back, quietly hooked his long sword, pointed it behind him, and probed into his abdomen.
Xia Qian looked nervous below, his palms were sweaty, slippery and uncomfortable, and he hastily wiped the hem of his clothes twice, but it was still not enough, so he grabbed the hem of Xia Lin's clothes next to him and wiped it. He stared at the front without taking his eyes off it, and naturally he didn't see Xia Lin's disgusted gaze.
"Xia Yu, the strength between us is not the same as the gap half a year ago. He turned his head slowly, the bloodshot climbing in the corner of his eye was very dazzling, and the sword in his hand had no intention of stopping.
Xia Yu struggled in pain, and the back of his hands and neck were already burned. His eyelids drooped and he met Xia Qiong's gaze. His lowered gaze was full of heartache and helplessness.
"Die obediently. Xia Qiong's eyes widened, and her tone was a little crazy, like a hysterical wind, whistling non-stop.
Xia Yu closed his eyes slightly, disappeared into the formation with a bang, and immediately appeared in front of Xia Qiong. The burns on his body were real, and even his clothes were scorched. He was down-and-out but resolute, as if he had never hesitated or doubted.
His sword was firmly pressed on Xia Qiong's shoulder, and it was not even unsheathed. There is also a golden light array at his feet, but the text is different.
"Dodge Array. "A professional evaluation from the disciples of the Heavenly Array Palace.
The flash array, as the name suggests, can flash in an instant. Certainly not a random location. Before flashing, the formation must appear in the selected location in order to successfully dodge.
Xia Qiong's attention was all behind at this time, and in front of him was where he made a mistake.
Xia Qiong slowly turned her head back, staring at him with blood-colored eyes, "Why, you want to block my way again and again." ”
After he finished shouting, a fierce thunder suddenly struck out above his head. The sun was shining and immediately became cloudy, and the sky meant to be raining.
Xia Qiong didn't care about this, he was caught off guard by Xia Yu's right hand and kicked it suddenly. Xia Yu hugged his right arm in pain, and his temporarily stable pulse jumped up suddenly, wanting to break through the skin, this pain was very unbearable.
Xia Qiong smiled: "Your right hand hurts, although you have always pretended to be calm, but I know that your right hand is now like a thousand insects gnawing at it, and the itch is unbearable." ”
The rain began to fall, wetting the dust on the ground and darkening the color of the ground. The smell of land renovation emitted by the scorching earth when it was cooled by the cold rain was quite unpleasant, but the two people swaying on the field did not care about the harsh environment, allowing the rain to wet their bodies.
Xia Qiong pressed forward step by step, Xia Yu was disturbed by the pain, his mind was dizzy, he was unsteady and slipped to the ground. He hurriedly turned around, but Xia Qiong stepped on his chest with one foot, and the other foot on his left hand.
The sharp sword qi mixed with the rain rushed towards his face, and Xia Qiong's almost crazy expression and eyes that wanted to kill him completely chilled Xia Yu's heart.
"Get on the road, brother. ”
The bright red blood dissolved into the rain and turned into pink raindrops across the bridge of Xia Yu's nose and eyes. With a pair of eyes that he didn't want to close, his paralyzed right hand grabbed the cold sword body with his bare hands. His voice was colder than the rain.
"That day, it was also such a rain. Thousands of families and hundreds of people died. Except for you and me. ”
