Chapter 488: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 99
With a clang, the Third Master struck the gong and drum and shouted, "The competition is over! Miss Ji wins!"
The people in the audience were all shocked. They all looked up at the stage and discussed loudly:
"What's going on? Wasn't Hong Xiangyu in the upper hand? The fight was so fierce, how come Ji suddenly won?"
"The Third Master is so shameless. He is willing to say anything to please Lin Yuan."
"Are you treating us like fools? Anyway, the Ji guy is the winner, so what's the point of competing?"
"She entered the meeting hall as soon as she arrived, and she was in charge of the money and food that Gang Leader Lin brought back. In my opinion, Gang Leader Lin is good in every way, except that he is soft-hearted and listens too much to women."
"When Gang Leader Hong was here, Xiangyu was so noisy, but Gang Leader Hong didn't let her into the meeting hall. This was no joke. But Lin Yuan arranged for her to enter as soon as he came back."
"That woman is so pretty, but she is a disaster..."
Listening to the discussion below, Hong Xiangyu became more confident, "Grandpa Wang, why are you biased towards this woman? I'm obviously going to win soon!"
The third in command pulled out a scimitar from a large log nearby and said helplessly, "Look at yourself. He showed mercy. It's fine if you're not grateful, but why are you still playing tricks on me?"
"If the blade had been off by a little more, the meridians in your neck would have been severed, and even a great immortal wouldn't have been able to save you."
Hong Xiangyu subconsciously touched her neck and felt a slight pain, but it was just a shallow skin break and not much bleeding.
Ji Yunhuan took the scimitar handed over by the Third Master and played with the blade in his hand nonchalantly. "You just keep attacking, why don't you think about defense? Is my scimitar just for show?"
Hong Xiangyu's face flushed red. She thought Ji Yunhuan was going to use a scimitar to block the sword, but who knew that this guy was so insidious and cunning that he actually secretly shot one out.
"You... you are shameless! You attacked me from behind! We were competing openly and honestly, but you attacked me from behind with a hidden weapon. You are shameless! This round doesn't count. Let's compete again. I will definitely beat you this time!"
The Third In Command rarely had a gloomy face. He was always smiling and kind to everyone, but when he frowned, he looked quite majestic, and even the discussions among the people below became much quieter.
"Xiangyu, if you lose, you lose. You have seen these five scimitars before going on stage. They are not hidden weapons at all. You are not as skilled as others. You have to admit defeat."
"What did your father teach you when he was alive? He taught you to be upright, to be upright and honest, but he never taught you to go back on your words! Apologize to Miss Ji, and listen to her in the future. Don't make trouble again."
Hong Xiangyu's eyes were red, and the discussions below reached her ears, which made her heart ache. Daddy was so powerful, but she couldn't do anything right. She couldn't even beat Ji Yunhuan. She really brought shame to Daddy.
She was unwilling to accept this. It was obvious that Ji Yunhuan was cheating. If they really fought, she would definitely not lose to Ji Yunhuan.
"I won't! I won't listen to this woman. I'd rather die!"
The third boss's face turned even darker, but when he saw Hong Xiangyu's red eyes, he couldn't curse her after all, and could only snort coldly:
"With so many brothers watching, you have to admit it even if you don't want to! This musket belongs to Miss Ji, and the Phoenix Team is also under Miss Ji's charge..."
"Grandpa Wang, since Miss Hong is not convinced, let's have another match."
Ji Yunhuan stared into Hong Xiangyu's eyes and said slowly, "I told you, I want Miss Hong to be convinced!"
Ji Yunhuan only had four scimitars left in her hand. She waved the blades in front of Hong Xiangyu and chuckled, "Ms. Hong, you must watch carefully this time and don't blink. If you accuse me of a sneak attack again, I won't allow it."
Hong Xiangyu did not dare to underestimate the enemy. She did not act rashly. She just held the sword in one hand and stared at the weapon in Ji Yunhuan's hand carefully.
As long as she is careful enough, she will definitely be able to stab Ji Yunhuan this time!
Hong Xiangyu didn't move, and Ji Yunhuan didn't move either. In fact, she had never learned any real tricks. The only reason she could stab with the scissors so accurately was because of her mental control.
Practicing martial arts requires strengthening the muscles and bones from a young age. She did not plan to spend too much time on something she was not good at. Anyway, she would never lack people to protect her. She just wanted to figure out some tricks to protect herself when she was free.
Ji Yunhuan thought about it for a moment and then took action.
A scimitar flew out of her hand. This time Hong Xiangyu was prepared. She took a breath, raised her body, and dodged it easily.
"You are really good at it!"
Ji Yun praised her joyfully. Although Hong Xiangyu's martial arts skills were ordinary, she still had a solid foundation.
Hong Xiangyu felt that Ji Yunhuan was mocking her and became more and more angry. She spotted a flaw and stabbed with her sword. The hem of her dark blue dress drew an arc and she rushed towards Ji Yunhuan swiftly.
Ji Yunhuan staggered backwards as if frightened. The hem of her bright red skirt looked like a blooming flower as she was forced to retreat step by step.
Hong Xiangyu stabbed towards Ji Yunhuan's neck. As long as she could make a small cut, she would win!
She didn't want to take Ji Yunhuan's life.
"Huan'er, be careful!" Lin Yuan took a step with his long legs, and half of his body was already on the martial arts field.
Ji Liao sighed, stretched out his hand and pulled the man down, saying with disdain: "Why are you so startled? How can you achieve anything great in the future if you are so unstable?"
"But Huan'er...Huan'er...I have to go save her!" Lin Yuan was almost dying of anxiety.
Ji Liao said impatiently: "If you rush over now, Huan'er will scold you to death! Why are you in such a hurry? Wait and see!"
In the martial arts arena, Hong Xiangyu felt that the tip of her sword was off by an inch. The sword seemed to be out of her control and just brushed past Ji Yunhuan's earlobe without hurting even a hair.
Hong Xiangyu's face was filled with shock. Could it be that she hadn't practiced sword for so long that she had become so rusty at it?
The two were very close to each other. The scimitar in Ji Yunhuan's hand jumped and pressed against Hong Xiangyu's chest. She chuckled, "Ms. Hong, you lose again!"
The sword in Hong Xiangyu's hand fell to the ground, and she shouted in disbelief: "Impossible! I was about to stab you, and I stabbed you first!"
The third in command ran over and saw that Ji Yunhuan was unharmed, but there was a cut in the cloth on Hong Xiangyu's chest, right where her heart was.
The Third Master struck the gong and drum and shouted, "The second round is over. Miss Ji stabbed Hong Xiangyu in the heart. Miss Ji wins!"
Hong Xiangyu shook her head repeatedly, still unable to accept the fact that she had lost, "No! It was just an accident just now. My sword didn't obey me. I could have won!"
Ji Yunhuan was particularly generous and shouted, "Give her a different sword and try again!"
Soon, Ji Yunhuan's scimitar was against Hong Xiangyu's throat, and he chuckled, "You lose again!"
After losing three times in a row, tears flashed in Hong Xiangyu's eyes. She rushed forward again. This time her wrist was cut and her sword fell to the ground. She lay exhausted on the ground. Ji Yunhuan looked down at her and put the sword on her neck.
Hong Xiangyu pounded the ground hard. She lowered her head and tears dropped down, hitting the stone slabs.
