Chapter 62: Martial Arts Competition (2)

A fat man with a huge axe in hand and a beard and dishevelled hair came up from the Xueyantuo side.

"I am Adani, a member of the Tiele tribe of the Xueyantuo! Who dares to fight me?"

"I am Cheng Wuting, the left inner commander of the Eastern Palace, and I am willing to fight you!" With Li Chengqian's tacit approval, Cheng Wuting immediately stepped forward and said, "Take my gun!"

The Eastern Palace guards hurriedly threw an iron gun to Cheng Wuting. Cheng Wuting stretched out his hand to catch the iron gun, waved it in his hand, with the gun head pointing downwards, diagonally to the ground, and put it behind his back. With a force on his feet, he easily jumped onto the stage.

"Good boy, I will beat you off the stage." Adani said with a smile.

"You country bumpkin, who are you calling grandpa? Don't pretend to be a relative. I don't have such an ugly grandson as you!" Cheng Wuting retorted.

"Haha..." There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and Yinan was embarrassed. This idiot, why bother talking without taking action? It's embarrassing!

"Don't bother with words, take my axe!" Adani held the axe in both hands and chopped at Cheng Wuting fiercely.

Adani's attack was powerful and heavy, and Cheng Wuting could only rely on his agile body to dodge if he wanted to win, and then take the opportunity to counterattack and finally defeat Adani.

A head-on confrontation would only end in serious injuries and a tragic ending.

Therefore, Cheng Wuting took advantage of his own advantages to deal with Adani.

Adani saw that Cheng Wuting was as slippery as a loach, and he immediately got angry and swung the axe in his hand to chop at Cheng Wuting.

Cheng Wuting took a step back, dodged Adani's axe, and took the opportunity to use the iron spear in his hand to the side to relieve some of Adani's strength.

Adani saw that his attack failed again, and immediately changed his tactics, changing from chopping to chopping, and attacked Cheng Wuting again.

The two of them fought back and forth. After ten moves, Adani was already panting and sweating on his forehead, but Cheng Wuting was still at ease!

The fifteenth move.

Cheng Wuting had the upper hand, and it was only a matter of time to defeat Adani in front of him.

After the twentieth move.

Cheng Wuting began to formally counterattack, and Adani was already a little exhausted.

When Cheng Wuting waved the iron spear in his hand, cold stars appeared and silver light flashed. The basic spear techniques such as stabbing, stabbing, pulling, attacking, entanglement, circling, blocking, grabbing, throwing, tapping, flicking, and dancing were changed unpredictably by Cheng Wuting.

After the 26th move.

Adani was finally forced to the edge of the ring by Cheng Wuting. Cheng Wuting changed from stabbing to sweeping, hitting Adani's neck and finally knocking him off the ring.

Adani's fat body came into close contact with the ground, smashing the ground and making dust fly.

"Donggong Zuo Nei led Cheng Wuting to victory!" The referee's voice rang out, Cheng Wuting turned around and walked off the ring, and immediately won applause.

Xueyantuo warriors immediately stepped forward to help Adani down.

After losing two games in a row, Yinan was very angry, and his gloomy face was scary.

Xueyantuo Khan Yinan's face was ashen and his mood was low, which formed a sharp contrast with the enthusiasm and cheers of the Tang Dynasty's spectators below the stage.

Even Li Er laughed and said, "Chengqian, I didn't know that you had such talents in your Eastern Palace. It's a blessing for the Eastern Palace!"

"The two of them have brought glory to the Tang Dynasty today. I will reward them well."

"I'm here to thank my father for the two of them! Although they are officials of my Eastern Palace, they are also my father's subjects and should share my father's worries!" Li Chengqian said.

Yinan did not give up and sent two Xueyantuo warriors to challenge again.

This time, the people who came on stage were no longer the prince's men. After all, the spotlight could not be monopolized by the prince's men.

The first person to come on stage was Cheng Chumo, the son of Cheng Yaojin, the Duke of Lu and the General of the Left Army. The second person to come on stage was Wei Chi Baolin, the son of Wei Chi Jingde, the Duke of E and the General of the Right Army.

When Cheng Chumo came on stage, he met a weaker opponent. He could not last more than fifteen moves before being knocked off the stage by Cheng Chumo.

Immediately, Cheng Chumo was greeted with cheers. Cheng Chumo happily carried the axe and walked off the stage in a high-spirited manner.

Wei Chi Baolin was the most unlucky one among the four. He actually met the one who could be ranked in the top three among the Xueyantuo warriors.

The two fought for more than eighty rounds. Wei Chi Baolin was almost knocked off the ring by his opponent. Fortunately, he was smart and was able to turn danger into safety! He

narrowly defeated his opponent and won the competition.

Li Er was very proud!

Xueyantuo Zhenzhu Khan looked desperate!

Yinan did not expect that his warriors would be defeated by the Tang people, and they were defeated so badly! It was really a disgrace to Xueyantuo.

"Zhenzhu Khan! What do you think of my Tang soldiers? After today's battle, are you convinced?" Li Er smiled at Yinan.

Although Yinan was unhappy, he forced a smile on his face and said, "The warriors of the Tang Dynasty are superb in martial arts! I am sincerely convinced! It is an honor for me to see the warriors of the Tang Dynasty today!"

"The competition is over! Next it is time to test the soldiers' riding and shooting! Let the soldiers be fully alert and don't embarrass themselves in front of everyone." Li Er said to Li Zhen, the Minister of War who was in charge of the troops' review.

"Yes!" Li Yan, the Minister of War, took the order and left. He ordered his men to remove the arena and change the venue for the last item of the review - archery!

"Great Khan! My grassland warriors have superb riding skills and exquisite archery skills. I want my warriors to perform grassland archery for the great Khan!" Xueyantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan requested again.

He still did not give up and wanted to compete again. Martial arts competition is just a display of personal strength and cannot represent the combat effectiveness of the army.

In front of the neat and unified military formation, personal bravery is nothing!

If his Xueyantuo warriors can beat the Tang Dynasty's imperial guards in riding and archery, it is not impossible for Yinan to raise an army.

But all the prerequisites must be based on the fact that the Xueyantuo warriors can beat the Tang cavalry in archery.

Otherwise, what can Yinan use to fight the Tang Dynasty, and what can he use to seek justice from Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty.

If he loses to the opponent even in the signature skills of the grassland warriors, Yinan will have no choice but to swallow

his resentment. Who can make him able to confront the Tang Dynasty head-on? What can he do if he can't swallow this breath?

"Okay! Since Zhenzhu Khan has such elegance! I naturally can't ruin your interest! Let your warriors compete with my Tang Dynasty soldiers in archery!" Li Er said with a smile.

Yi Nan's proposal hit the mark of Li Er! Li Er also wanted to know what the overall strength of the Xueyantuo was.

This was related to how the Tang Dynasty would treat the Xueyantuo in terms of diplomacy in the future.

Now that Yi Nan proposed to compete, it was a good opportunity to test the strength of the Xueyantuo and show off the military strength of the Tang Dynasty to everyone.

Li Chengqian was also unwilling to be left out, so he stood up and petitioned that the Eastern Palace should also join the archery competition.

Li Er readily agreed to Li Chengqian's request!
