Chapter Sixty-Seven: A Secret Promise
Chapter 67 Fang Xin secretly promised
Zhao Yanyang was also very anxious at this time, he never expected that Li Tianya would actually condense his sword spirit, and from the injury on his back, it could be seen that Li Tianya had reached the Imperial Spirit Realm, which surprised him even more. Originally, I thought that I could easily solve the opponent, but in the current situation, I was at a disadvantage, because now as long as he runs the Flying Slash, Li Tianya will definitely control the sword spirit to disturb himself, and he was stabbed by the opponent's sword spirit before, although there is no big problem, but it also affects his performance to some extent. Thinking of these, Zhao Yanyang also couldn't say it, without the advantage in numbers, it was difficult to say who would win and who would lose in this duel. While fighting with Li Tianya's sword spirit, Zhao Yanyang was constantly thinking about the way to win, for the sake of today's plan, he must fight quickly, if he delays, the wound behind his back will inevitably become more and more serious, and even if he is not defeated in the hands of Li Tianya, he will definitely pass out due to excessive bleeding. So Zhao Yanyang decided to do his best to win in the shortest possible time.
If Li Tianya knew the other party's thoughts at this time, he would definitely feel a lot more relieved, but looking at Zhao Yanyang, who was still radiant, it seemed that he was more fierce than before, and Li Tianya was also very anxious. However, after only a moment of panic, he returned to normal, and devised a strategy to defend himself against the enemy in his mind. In a few breaths, he had already come up with a solution, although it was very difficult, but only in this way could he have any hope of winning, otherwise everything he had paid before would become a bubble and dissipate with the wind. Li Tianya knew in the process of communicating with his own sword spirit that the sword spirit and the body are mutually reinforcing, and at the same time, they also affect each other, as long as the sword spirit is traumatized, it will also have a great impact on the body, so Li Tianya decided to take the opponent's sword spirit first, and even if the heavy damage to the sword spirit has no effect on the body, at least it can put the other party at a disadvantage in numbers. After thinking of countermeasures, Li Tianya was not in a hurry, and still maintained a normal fight with the other party on the surface, and then, he continued to let himself and the sword spirit distance widen, gradually, the latter and Zhao Yanyang had fought to the westernmost side of the ring, and Li Tianya and the opponent's sword spirit were facing each other in the easternmost side, seeing that the time was ripe, Li Tianya suddenly controlled his sword spirit to throw away the opponent and stab towards his side, and he stepped up the offensive, so that the opponent had no time to be distracted, after a while, Li Tianya and his own sword spirit formed a pinching attack on Zhao Yanyang's sword spirit, based on the skillful control of the sword spirit, the momentum was in an instant, and Zhao Yanyang's sword spirit had already suffered several swords, and Zhao Yanyang on the other side saw through Li Tianya's strategy, but because he did not prepare in advance, it was too late to save his sword spirit, although he rushed to the rescue as fast as he could, but the knowledge that greeted him was a weak sword spirit phantom, and after a while, he saw his sword spirit fall crookedly. At this point, Zhao Yanyang also knew in his heart that he had been defeated, but he still refused to give up, after calling the sword spirit back to his body, he was ready to let go, standing in place, quickly changing his gestures, and wanting to run the Feiyun Slash at the fastest speed, but Li Tianya, who was close in front of him, could not give him this kind of opportunity, just when Zhao Yanyang was halfway through the run, the whole body had already felt a powerful impact, and then everyone watched the chief disciple of the Ziyang Sect flying in the air, and at the same time, there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Everything is over, looking at Zhao Yanyang who flew to the ring, Li Tianya finally let out a long breath, and at this time, the audience still fell into silence, everyone was stunned, as if they were stupid by the scene in front of them, and some people were reminiscing, although the battle between the two was not long and smooth, but every move and style was very fierce, and after a long time, all the younger brothers of Lingyunzong reacted from joy and shouted loudly, "Long live Lingyunzong" Listening to the thunderous shouts from the audience, Li Tianya was also excited, running in the direction of everyone while crying, and when he got close, he jumped up directly and jumped into the arms of everyone. All the disciples of the Lingyun Sect instantly fell into an extremely carnival atmosphere, even some of the elders who usually did not smile were laughing from ear to ear at this time, after everyone carnivaled for a while, Li Xianhe suddenly cried again, he said to Li Tianya with tears in his eyes, "Tianya, you are the pride of our Lingyun Sect, you have saved the future of the Lingyun Sect, and it may even change the fate of the Lingyun Sect, I thank you on behalf of everyone in the Lingyun Sect!" Looking at Li Xianhe, who was full of tears, Li Tianya also said with feeling" Elder, what are you talking about, everything I have now is given to me by Lingyun Sect, I want to thank you and thank you, if it weren't for your care and care, I might just be a poor boy living on the street" After listening to the conversation between the two, Zhang Xianyun said, "Today is a good day, everyone is happy, don't be there Mother-in-law, in my opinion, today's achievements are not the credit of one person, but the result of all of us working together, thank you to all of us!"
In stark contrast to the joyful atmosphere of the Lingyun Sect, the silence and decadence of the other four factions were unexpectedly the silence and decadence of the other four factions, they never thought that this year's champion would actually be a disciple of the Lingyun Sect, let alone the top four and top eight positions, the Lingyun Sect was all in the monopoly, looking at the celebratory Lingyun Sect, many people asked themselves in their hearts, what did they do before? actually witnessed Ling Yunzong's counterattack, and even laughed at the other party mercilessly before, thinking of this, he felt extremely ashamed, but no one said it, they just lowered their heads silently, or sighed, or sobbed, or wiped their tears. After a long while, the herald stepped into the ring and announced, "The individual champion of this year's martial arts competition is Li Tianya of Lingyunzong, and the collective champion is Lingyunzong! Now please ask the emperor to present awards to them!" After hearing his words, everyone in the audience stopped their previous actions and waited earnestly for the emperor to come to the stage. Even if some people are very reluctant to see the upcoming scene, no one dares to make trouble at such a time, after all, no matter how powerful the sect is, in front of the Tang Empire, it is just a sect, and it may only take a few days to wipe them out. Therefore, everyone sat respectfully in their chairs and waited for the award ceremony.
Xun Qianqiu stood in the ring, at this time he was still dressed very exquisitely, he looked polite and gentle, people who didn't know him couldn't see that he was also a martial arts person, but all the princes and ministers present and the heads of the five major factions didn't know him, so they didn't dare to do anything impolite. Walking to the center of the ring, Xun Qianqiu cleared his throat and said, "First of all, thank you to everyone present, support the martial arts competition of the Tang Empire, with everyone's right support, we can achieve today's success, and because of your support, my Tang Empire can become stronger and stronger." I also hope that in each future session, everyone can actively participate as always, the sect tries to cultivate more talented disciples, and the disciples continue to improve their strength, I believe, as long as we all work hard, as long as we unite as one, no one dares to underestimate us for so long, no one dares to bully us, although we don't like war, but we are not afraid of war, the Qiankun Empire and the Easy Empire are eyeing us, why is this? It's not because we're weak, but we have to believe that the future is bright, although the process is hard, and that's why I hope that all young people must have the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness, and a heart of patriotism and love for the people, only in this way can we protect our homeland, and only in this way can we have a happy life."
When he said this, there was thunderous applause from the audience, and Xun Qianqiu's words were interrupted for a while, and after the applause, he said again. This tournament was held very successfully, it told us a truth: there is no eternal strong, only eternal practice, Lingyun Sect can achieve today's results I believe is absolutely not accidental, they must have paid unimaginable efforts over the years, and Li Tianya's success also tells us a truth: never feel that the opponent is invincible, and do not feel that the opponent is always vulnerable, the conference has ended, all the names and honors are also a foregone conclusion, I hope that the successful sects and players should not be proud, to make persistent efforts, and create brilliance, and the defeat of the few parties should not be discouraged, should be ashamed and brave, regain confidence and then hit the road, I believe that there is no bad seed in the Tang Empire, and I believe that the next martial arts competition will be more exciting. Due to Ling Yunzong's remarkable performance in this conference, the words of disqualification before the game do not exist. Next, Lingyun Zongzong advocated Xianyun and Li Tianya, the champion of the competition, to come to the stage to accept the award. After a while, there were several stout men carrying a few boxes of things into the ring, and then opened them one by one, and after Li Tianya and Zhang Xianyun came to the stage, Xun Qianqiu announced loudly, "According to the regulations of the conference, reward the champion Li Tianya with two souls, a Xuantie sword, a silkworm soft armor, a thousand taels of gold, and three thousand taels of silver, and reward five hundred fine iron swords of the Lingyun Sect, five hundred pieces of fine iron armor, three thousand taels of gold, and five thousand taels of silver" After speaking, he looked at the two with a smile and said softly." Congratulations to you, and at the same time I hope that you will practice martial arts more diligently in the future, and be ready to serve the Tang Empire at any time", "Thank you Emperor, Lingyun Sect will definitely swear to the death to finally the Tang Empire, and we will definitely concentrate on cultivation after we go back, constantly improve our strength, and listen to the emperor's dispatch at any time!" Hearing Zhang Xianyun's answer, Xun Qianqiu also laughed heartily, "Haha, okay! I have been so neglectful to you before, don't take it to heart, Brother Xianyun!" "Emperor" Zhang Xianyun was speechless for a while, just lowered his head and waited for the emperor's words.
But Xun Qianqiu suddenly set his eyes on Li Tianya's body, and examined it for a while before asking, "Young man, how long have you been studying martial arts?" Hearing the emperor's sudden question, Li Tianya was also a little panicked, so he didn't think about it, and said truthfully, "One year", Li Tianya's words made Xun Qianqiu stunned for a while, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and after a while, he looked at Zhang Xianyun and asked, "What he said is true?" Zhang Xianyun didn't dare to deceive, answered truthfully, and when Xun Qianqiu, who got an affirmative answer, looked at Li Tianya again, his eyes were full of love, and then asked Li Tianya about some short things in his parents, after listening to Li Tianya's experience in the past year, Xun Qianqiu also said with emotion, "It's not easy to endure so much suffering at a young age, but now it seems that all this is not a good thing for you, if there were no those encounters, there would be no Li Tianya today, you say yes!" The emperor is right, if it weren't for those unforgettable pasts, I might still be a gentleman in Rongzhou City in the southwest today!" "Haha, gentleman, the champion of the martial arts competition of the Tang Empire, life is really wonderful! Several people chatted on the stage for a while, only to find that there were still many people watching in the audience, Xun Qianqiu suddenly reacted at this time, and then said to the audience, "Next, I will invite the second place Ziyang Sect and the runner-up Zhao Yanyang to come to the stage to accept the award" Next, the awards will be presented one after another. Receiving awards has always been a few happy and a few worried, but life is like this, there is no eternal winner, there is no eternal failure, as long as you work hard, it is possible to get the due reward, and people who do not know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace and only know how to be content with the status quo will only be surpassed in the end. Perhaps it also confirms the old saying: Born in sorrow, die in peace!
After the award ceremony, Xun Qianqiu was still standing in the ring, at this time he looked much more serious than before, and after tidying up his clothes, he announced again, "Although this competition is over, there is still a battle that has not ended, let Xun Qianqiu and Li Tianya stage the final battle for us!" After speaking, he walked straight out of the ring, and his eyes kept swimming everywhere during the walk, falling on the body of his beloved daughter Xunzhiyin for a while, and Li Tianya for a while, and his eyes revealed an intriguing look that is rarely seen in his eyes. It didn't take long for Xun Zhiyin to stand in the ring, and her appearance also caused a burst of madness in the audience: the pink and yellow top with a snow-white short skirt exposed the convex and backward contours of the whole body, the hair on the temples was black and bright, the artificially woven pigtails fell on the ears, and the top of the head was interspersed with a delicate and small hairpin, and the remaining hair hung down to the back, sometimes fluttering in the wind, lining the face looming, the snow-white skin could be blown and broken, the thick eyebrows seemed to be artificially dyed, the round eyes were symmetrically placed on the high bridge of the nose, and the thin and soft lips formed a sharp contrast, and the stunning appearance could not be described in words。 It's no wonder that many disciples in the audience are crazy, her coming to the stage directly ignited the passion in everyone's hearts, everyone seems to have forgotten the previous defeat, and also ignored that she is about to become Li Tianya's "wife", just open her eyes infinitely, keep shouting at the soulmate, and some people even can't help but leave greedy saliva. But none of this made Xunzhiyin on the stage blush and heartbeat, she just stood quietly, waiting for Li Tianya's arrival.
Looking at the Xunzhiyin on the stage, Li Tianya knew that he had to play, he couldn't and didn't dare to put the princess of the Tang Empire on the stage, but as soon as his thighs stepped out, he turned his head and glanced at Xie Piaoran, and saw that Xie Piaoran was bowing his head and was silent at this time, so he turned around and walked back, and when he walked in front of Xie Piaoran, he whispered, "Piaoran, please believe what I said before, stay well, I'll be back soon!" When he came to Xun Zhiyin, Li Tianya tried his best to keep himself calm, if the other party was just an ordinary opponent, then he would not panic, but the other party was not only the princess of the Tang Empire, but also the "wife" that the emperor was ready to give him, so it was impossible for Li Tianya to treat it with a normal heart. After the two looked at each other for a long time, Li Tianya finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you like me?" Princess, I don't mean that, I mean that you and I have never met, let alone know each other, are you so easy to put your lifelong happiness in the hands of a stranger? After listening to Li Tianya's words, the latter felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and felt that the other party was a person who was full of love and could give himself enough sense of security and responsibility, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling for Li Tianya, and even felt that he was not nervous at all when he stood with Li Tianya in front of everyone, but was very comfortable, as if the whole person was much more comfortable and happy in front of Li Tianya, but his mouth replied sternly, "These things are not for you* Heart, what's more, you can't help but be too arrogant, say it as if I can't beat you, don't think that you will get carried away if you defeat Zhao Yanyang of the Ziyang Sect, what I hate the most is a smug boy like you" After speaking, Xun Zhiyin found that his words seemed to be a little heavier, so he immediately added, "Don't you think it's too early to discuss these now?, but if you are really lucky enough to defeat me, then I will identify you in this life, as for whether you like it or not, this is my business!"
