Chapter 178: Evenly divided
Looking from the south shore of Yanqi Lake, the outlying island more than a dozen zhang away looks like an inverted stone bowl floating on the surface of the lake, the bluestone table is the bottom of the bowl, and the jade fence is more like the protruding edge of the bottom of the bowl.

In the lake around the island, some precious large-leaved lotus flowers are planted all over the place. Now it is the early summer, although the lotus flowers are not in full bloom, but the lotus leaf fields, green and green, covering nearly half of the lake.
At this moment, on the south shore of Yanqi Lake, there are two flower boats that are usually used to carry guests to the lake to enjoy lotuses, but they should be specially prepared for Zhao Zhan and Han Bing, two martial artists.
Those who came to watch the tournament expected that both masters would perform well. But in the face of the lake more than ten zhang wide, few people really believed that the two of them could fly across it on their own.
Among the guests present, there were a few masters from famous families, but after secretly weighing it, they couldn't help but feel timid and didn't dare to try it lightly. Because they all know in their hearts, with their own skills, they can at most tread water within a distance of ten zhang, but they will still inevitably end up with wet clothes and shoes, but they are even more embarrassed.
Just when everyone was still in the contradiction of looking forward to it, but they didn't dare to have too much extravagant hope, a cold stroll in white came to the lake.
He turned his head to look at Zhao Zhan, and saw that he was staring at him with a gloomy face, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, bowed his hand to him slightly, and said, "The leader of the unification is please." ”
Zhao Zhan's eyes flashed, and then he took his eyes away from Han Bing's face, "It's better to invite Han Bing Gongzi first." ”
Han Bing smiled, and he was no longer polite to Zhao Zhan.
He casually flicked the hem of the white robe on his body, jumped without any gesture, and went out a few zhang away, and when he fell, his toes tapped a bright green lotus leaf, his body paused slightly, and then jumped to another lotus leaf a few zhang away.
Looking from afar, I saw his elegant figure as if he was dancing on the water, and his white clothes were flying among the green leaves and blue waves, just like the immortals in the painting, which was really breathtaking!
Those who were present to watch the competition were shocked by his chic and beautiful light skills, and they forgot to make a sound for a while, and watched him leap on the lotus leaf with bated breath, but in a few ups and downs, they had reached the opposite island.
At this time, everyone remembered to applaud, and some people even got up from their seats and cheered at the white-clothed young man in the distance, and the scene boiled again.
After standing firmly, Han Bing stood with a smile, made a circle around in a chic manner, and then jumped upwards and landed on the ring five or six feet high.
Zhao Zhan had been standing there, staring at Han Bing's every move. Seeing that his opponent actually showed such a wonderful light skill, his expression was still calm, and there was a hint of a cruel smile on his lips.
He strode to the shore, drew his sword from its sheath, and threw the empty scabbard into the lake. I don't know what kind of material the scabbard was made of, but it was able to float on the surface of the water without sinking into the lake.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Zhao Zhan's body, and seeing him have such a strange behavior, they couldn't help but be excited, waiting to see another wonderful performance.
And the results did not disappoint them.
I saw Zhao Zhan leap and land on the floating scabbard. Then he swung the long sword in his hand forward, and under the internal force, his whole person suddenly slid on the surface of the lake.
The distance of more than ten zhang came suddenly, and before everyone could react from their surprise, Zhao Zhan had already jumped up again and fell towards the shore of the outlying island.
What's even more incredible is that I don't know what force he used under his feet, and when he jumped, he actually sucked the scabbard under his feet firmly into the sole of his boot. When his man landed firmly on the ground, the scabbard was held tightly in his hand again, and the long sword he had held in his hand was also sheathed.
This series of actions is really like flowing water, chic and neat!
As expected, this novel trick displayed by Zhao Zhan also won him thunderous applause and warm cheers. I have only heard that someone can cross the river with a reed, but I didn't expect to see someone who can cross the lake with only a scabbard today, which is really eye-opening!
To be fair, in this round of competition, Han Bing and Zhao Zhan can be said to be equal. Han Bing is good at light work, while Zhao Zhan is strong in internal strength.
As a result, everyone has more expectations for the upcoming competition. Being able to witness the competition between two rare top masters in the world, how many times can you encounter this kind of opportunity in a lifetime?
It's just that those who have made heavy bets in this competition are a little uneasy. Especially those who bet all their bets on Zhao Zhan, they couldn't help but feel a layer of worry in their hearts.
originally thought that as the commander of the forbidden army, Zhao Zhan won without suspense, so when betting, although the odds of Han Bing were one to ten, many people still bought Zhao Zhan to win. But now it seems that Han Bing's strength is not weak, and compared with the masters, sometimes it is only a fraction of a millimeter, and it is really unknown who will die in the end.
After Zhao Zhan landed on the outlying island, he did not make any sensationalism like Han Bing, but walked directly under the ring, and then walked up step by step along the stone stairs on one side.
Despite this, everyone who was watching held their breath one by one, and none of them dared to make fun of Zhao Zhan's light skills.
Those laymen naturally have no right to speak out, but those who know martial arts have already seen that the foot of the commander of the forbidden army has barely touched the stone staircase.
Therefore, it is not so much that Zhao Zhan went to the ring, but that he floated up. Moreover, he walks extremely slowly, which requires a combination of long internal force and exquisite light skills to achieve such a state. In comparison, the ice jumps into the body, and it is much easier.
Today, Zhao Zhan is wearing a dark color battle suit, which is also the military uniform of the forbidden army, but with the outer armor removed, the tight clothes and narrow sleeves are more suitable for hand-to-hand combat.
And Han Bing is still dressed on weekdays, and the white robe with wide sleeves and big sleeves doesn't look like he's here for a martial arts competition. Especially this young man is still wearing a long black hair, standing on this high platform near the lake at this moment, the wind on the lake blows, his white shirt and black hair are flying in the wind, looking extremely arbitrary and casual, in other words, uninhibited.
However, no matter what others thought, Zhao Zhan didn't dare to underestimate this seemingly arrogant and frivolous teenager. In the brief confrontation with this young man that day, he had faintly felt that this young man's skills were unfathomable.
Perhaps, he will be the first strong opponent he will face in his life.
It's a pity that at a young age, he has such a superb skill, and he must also be a wizard who practices martial arts, but today he is destined to die here!
This can't be blamed on others, but only for his own willfulness and arrogance, and his bad luck, he just became a cold-clothed son-
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhan took a deep breath, got rid of all the distracting thoughts in his heart, and put his body in a state of emptiness.
Then, he slowly drew his long sword and used the true qi in his body for several hours in succession, ready to strike a fatal blow at the cold ice at any time.
