Chapter 12: The Battle of Fate
This inn is rarely visited by guests, although all the rooms have already been occupied at this time, but the inn is still empty at the moment.
Almost all the people who came to check in were here to watch the two people who were sitting together at the moment drinking tea and chatting.
If it was known, the two people they had waited for a long time and didn't see anyone were right where they lived, and they didn't know how they would feel in their hearts.
The owner of Fulu Villa, who is a little richly dressed, named Xie Donglai, got acquainted with this man named Xu Long in his early years, both of them like to use swords, and both like to hoe the strong and help the weak.
The two also got married, but later, because of a joke, the two agreed to have a competition within three years after they separated, so that the other party knew that they were not slacking.
It's just that the first few years were fine, until the fourth martial arts competition, Xie Donglai had already married a wife and had children, and he was no longer willing to get involved in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally didn't want to make too many waves because of the martial arts competition.
But their fame in this small town in the south of the Yangtze River so that their every move always affects the martial arts people here, and Xu Long once complained to Xie Donglai because of the matter of starting a family, blaming him for giving up their ideals.
Lu Yu listened to Xu Long tell the story, and he was also stunned for a while, but he didn't expect that the bridge in this kind of movie was really touched by him, and it was solved by him casually after a few moments.
"People are getting older, and they always want to return to their roots, and gradually they begin to focus on their families, but they have always felt sorry for Brother Xu Xian, so they can't bear to refuse every time they make an appointment, but slowly for the first time, the second time, and gradually become a little overwhelmed. Xie Donglai couldn't help but sigh.
When Xu Long heard this, he hurriedly said: "Brother Xie could have explained the reason to me directly, but he insisted on fighting only because he didn't want to disappoint his brother, and he neglected to exercise, and after every competition, Brother Xian felt that Brother Xian was perfunctory, so that there was such a misunderstanding, and because of many years of brotherhood, he was embarrassed to break it in person, so that hey." ”
Lu Yu was also embarrassed when he listened to the words of the two, it is really that only brothers are most likely to have knots that cannot be untied, because they are unwilling to explain everything, which leads to misunderstandings again and again.
"In fact, people in the rivers and lakes should be free and easy, but the two seniors are similar. Lu Yu couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Xu Long stood up directly and clasped his fists and said: "Brother Xie, you and I may not know when we will see each other again if we say goodbye today, although the virtuous brother has put it down, but he still has a request, but he begged the elder brother to fight with me in the end, in order to confirm whether the virtuous brother has been slacking off for many years, and from now on, I will carry the ideals of the two on my shoulders together." ”
Xie Donglai did not refuse, he knew Xu Long, and he devoted himself to studying martial arts just to hoe the strong and help the weak, and he may just be young and vigorous at that time.
"Well, in that case, there is a forest ahead, and there are many trees cut down in the middle, and there is a clearing that is deserted, so you might as well be there, and let me be a witness. Lu Yu also said without hesitation.
The two of them clasped their fists to show their gratitude, but for no reason, when the two were about to walk out of the inn, Lu Yu said again: "Two, don't forget to pay for the small operation of this store." ”
The two laughed, naturally they only thought Lu Yu was joking, and threw out a silver ingot casually.
Lu Yu caught the silver, and at the moment when the two of them stepped out of the inn, the second branch task was finally completed, and Lu Yu received the reward, which was a recipe with a recipe about the practice of the eight lambs.
It's just that Lu Yu didn't have time to look at it now, so he directly threw it into the inventory.
In the silent woods, there is no sound except for the song of insects and birds.
In the clearing, the two of them stood opposite each other with their swords in their hands, knowing that this was the real final battle, and they would never allow any disappointing actions to happen in the course of the battle.
Neither of the two moved first, Lu Yu watched quietly like this, but he didn't understand a little bit, "Boss, there is almost a stick of incense standing here, why don't you do it." ”
"You don't understand, this is accumulating momentum, adjusting the state, neither side wants to leave regrets for the other party, and they are ready to meet the next battle in the best condition. It was rare for Lu Yu not to laugh at Li Xiaozui, because this moment was solemn.
After a while, the wind blew, the branches began to shake, and the leaves began to fly, and the two of them finally slowly pulled out the sword in their hands.
Listening to the sound of 'smack', all the birds that were resting on the branches flew away, and for a while the leaves on the branches fell one after another, and the two sword-wielding figures intersected and reunited in the forest full of flying leaves.
After the sound of the collision of weapons, the two immediately separated, and the leaves that were originally in the sky were divided into several pieces by the chilling sword aura emitted by the two swords that were about to be separated.
For a moment, the place where the two had fought for the first time became more difficult to discern the object.
Lu Yu, who was standing outside the battlefield, couldn't see the movements of the two after the separation for a while, but vaguely saw the two figures standing face to face again.
Compared with Lu Yu, both of them belong to the realm of third-rate masters under the systematic evaluation, but they should also have a difference in strength and weakness between third-rate masters and third-rate masters.
Lu Yu was originally an ordinary college student, and he has been in the martial arts world for twenty-one years, and he has seen a lot of martial arts people, but he was in a state of confusion during that time.
Although he knew that he would not be ordinary because of the system, in just a few months, his internal strength had reached the third level of the acquired realm.
He didn't know what this realm was, because he didn't know much about this world, after deducting the previous twenty-one years, to be honest, his understanding of this world was basically known in the past few months.
He only knows that this Yuzhou is just a remote little hell in the martial arts world, and the place where he is located is just a small town in the south of the Yangtze River in Yuzhou, so you can imagine how big the entire martial arts world is and how big this rivers and lakes are.
Some of the people in this place have never even been out of this small town in the south of the Yangtze River in their lives, and some have only been to other places in Yuzhou, and he has never heard about them even further away.
At this time, the two people who were fighting were the two most famous sword masters in this Jiangnan region, how could he not be excited.
Just when Lu Yu was full of thoughts, the two moved again, only to see Xu Long's feet together, his legs bent suddenly, and then he jumped up one foot high from the ground with all his strength.
At the same time, the sword in his hand waved several sword flowers in front of him, and a pair of sharp eyes looked closely at Xie Dong, who was standing in front of him, and said, "Brother Xie, you are ready, take me a move and the leaves are flying." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sword in Xu Long's hand, which had jumped into the air, swung faster, and suddenly the leaves that had already fallen around him flew again, forming a circle of fallen leaves around the waving sword.
Xu Long, who had just jumped up for a while, was surrounded by a pile of fallen leaves, and from the outside, in addition to the sharp sword that was wielded from time to time, only the figure of a slowly falling person remained.
Xie Donglai didn't speak, the long sword in his hand had already returned to the position of pointing at Xu Long with the rotation of his wrist, and his whole person was tense as he waited for a move to be made, and all the caution revealed in his eyes was cautious.
Lu Yu's exposure to martial arts is still too short, and he has only learned internal skills, so he can only speculate with some pictures from some martial arts TV movies he watched, and he feels that Xu Long's move should have a hint of hidden tricks in it, so Xie Donglai will be so cautious.
It's just that what he doesn't know is why Xie Donglai chose to raise his sword to deal with the next move, is this going to take this move head-on, or is this move Xie Donglai had already used it when Xu Long was fighting before, so he dealt with it like this.
The thoughts were not finished, from Xu Long's leap to the sword shadow bringing up countless fallen leaves, and then to Xu Long's landing was only a few blinks of an eye.
Xu Long, who touched the ground with one foot in an instant, stepped on the fallen leaves around him and attacked Xie Donglai.
The sword that was waved from time to time continued to draw sword traces in the air, and pieces of fallen leaves were split and then flew out to both sides at a faster speed.
