Chapter 68 Chapter 68 You will never guess what I am thinking.
Gu Zhi and Li Xuanbai finally met on the fighting stage. Both had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and even before the fight began, they were already feeling a surge of joy just looking at each other's faces.
In the center of the arena, a huge vermilion drum was struck loudly by two drumsticks wrapped in red silk. The sound of the drum was thunderous and echoed throughout the arena.
The two men stepped back half a step, and Zhou Xin, the referee in the middle, spread out his hands towards the two men, indicating that they should bow to each other.
Li Xuanbai smiled defiantly as usual, as if it had nothing to do with him, and remained motionless.
Li Xuanbai has always had this temper. Everyone in the mountain knows it, and no one can force him.
But - Zhou Xin glanced at Gu Zhi and saw that the usually gentle and polite Master Gu was standing there motionless with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, without any respect at all.
Zhou Xin withdrew from between the two men with cold sweat dripping down his face, not daring to persuade either side.
If you don't want to bow, then don't bow. It's said that these two have always been at odds, and recently they've even stopped being polite, fighting to the death for a woman who came up the mountain.
How could he have any say in the affairs of these two people?
He raised his hand high, held the bone whistle in his mouth, and blew the whistle with a "whoosh" sound.
Nan Qiongshuang sat in the center of the martial arts viewing platform, looking at the two people on the stage, frowning for a moment.
Needless to say, Li Xuanbai is as sharp as a sword that has seen blood.
However, Gu Huaijin, who was always so gentle, had a smile on his face, but his expression and posture were sinister. He slowly controlled the pearl, slowly drew the sword out of its sheath, pointed the sword tip loosely at an angle, and raised his eyebrows in contempt.
With that momentum, there was no need to swing the sword at all, the fallen leaves in the wind would break in two.
However, in the past month, he had hardly slept a full night. During the day, he worked hard on official business, and at night, he held her and cried. Day and night, he tortured himself, and just now he was almost exhausted in the Bodhi Pavilion.
At the moment, although he has not lost his momentum, can he really hold on?
Suddenly, Gu Zhi on the stage glanced in her direction from a distance.
They were too far away, so she didn't know whether he turned his head to look at her, but at that moment, they actually looked at each other for a second.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
After that glance, Gu Huaijin turned around and faced Li Xuanbai calmly, waiting for him to make a move.
When masters fight, they always wait and see what happens. They often observe each other for a while, and the one with the more impatient temper will make the first move.
On the stage, Li Xuanbai was surrounded by his natal pearls. He took a few steps forward and spun out a sword light.
Gu Zhi raised his sword to block, making way half an inch, and suddenly two beads like stray bullets were released from under Li Xuanbai's sword.
Li Xuanbai dodged and a string of small meteorite-like beads came out, circled around Gu Huaijin from behind, and attacked the back of his head.
Gu Huaijin didn't even look at it. Two or three glittering beads hit each other one after another with a bang. With a flash of sword light, he flew up and slapped Li Xuanbai. Immediately, Li Xuanbai rolled under his sword like a light swift and raised his palm to control the beads.
On the martial arts viewing platform, Nan Qiongshuang sat in the front row in the center, holding her breath and concentrating, while Yi Haichuan explained things to her.
"Big Brother's move predicted the direction of Senior Brother Xuanbai's beads and divided the beads into three paths. One path blocked Senior Brother Xuanbai's natal beads, one path protected himself, and one path was probably hidden in his sleeve, ready to be launched."
"Senior Brother Xuanbai figured out the eldest brother's tactics and guessed he would hold back to protect himself, so he used an unconventional sword move, gathering all the beads in one place and unleashing them all, leaving the eldest brother unable to block even with his sword."
On the stage, Gu Huaijin held his sword in front of him. Li Xuanbai's beads hit his blue sword with a "dang dang dang" sound, which made his arm numb and he staggered back a few steps.
Nan Qiongshuang unconsciously tightened her cuffs. This man hasn't had a good rest for a long time. Can he really keep up the physical strength?
Suddenly, a short and light arrow came through the air with a "whoosh" and went straight to Li Xuanbai.
Nan Qiong Shuang suddenly looked up.
Heng Huang sat in a corner high up on the martial arts viewing platform. At some point, he had actually changed into white clothes, the same color as Tianshan. He put down the crossbow in his hand with a fierce look, high morale, and full of confidence. He made a small tent with his hands and looked at the stage with great anticipation.
It is indeed Heng Huang.
But why was she sitting there? Hadn't she been clamoring to sit front row, center?
On the stage, Li Xuanbai raised his sword to block a blow, then suddenly spun around and kicked the short arrow away, then roared angrily towards the martial arts viewing platform:
"Who! Stop playing pot-shooting here!!"
The roar was like a lion's roar, hitting the mountain walls around the arena and echoing for a long time.
Heng Huang was shaking with anger on the martial arts viewing platform: "How dare you say that such a sophisticated assassination is just pitching pots... Humph, when did I ever play pitching pots with you!"
With both hands raised high, threateningly, "This is an insult! An insult! I—"
The sharp voice suddenly stopped.
The next second, that voice tore through the air above the martial arts viewing platform, its grief and indignation like the cry of a monkey:
"It's not over yet! You guys are not done for today, are you?! I'm Heng Huang from the Hengshan Sect! Do you know what will happen if you mess with me like this?!"
Nan Qiong Shuang turned around and was shocked to see that while everyone was watching, Miss Heng had a round watermelon rind on her head, covering her entire face. Only a pair of red lips opening and closing could be seen underneath.
"Who on earth is it! How dare you go over my head! Act like a wild beast!!"
Holding a green watermelon, even the sound is muffled.
The disciples behind her panicked and hurriedly cleared the watermelon shells from the pot. "The younger ones had finished eating the watermelon and wanted to throw it outside, but the girl suddenly raised her hand, and the younger ones lost their grip and it flew away."
Nan Qiong Shuang: ...?
He turned around, sighed, and rubbed his temples in frustration.
Heng Huang, can she do it?
Even so, does Li Xuanbai still need to be wary of her?
There is something about her that is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. She only makes noises all the time, but if you really expect her to play a role, you can't even get a chance to touch her door.
Yi Haichuan suddenly asked, "Hey, what is that?"
When I looked up, I saw something spinning and rushing through the crowd at the martial arts viewing platform, floating straight towards the stage, so fast that only a circle of afterimage could be seen.
Li Xuanbai and Gu Zhi were fighting fiercely. Their swords were pressed against each other, and the four beads were tangled together and collided with each other with a bang.
The thing whizzed through the air and flew towards Li Xuanbai's lower back. He distracted himself from controlling the pearl in his busy schedule, and with a sound, he pushed the thing away, kicked away Gu Huaijin's sword blade, rolled backwards in the air, and retreated a few steps away.
The little red earrings swayed slightly, and she looked at her deeply.
That means, come here and help me keep an eye on it.
Nan Qiong Shuang lowered her eyes and smiled.
Gu Huaijin immediately raised his sword and slashed: "Where are you looking?"
Heng Huang sat among the people on the martial arts viewing platform, crouching stealthily, and said through gritted teeth, "Even if the Crescent Moon Crossbow doesn't work, you can't escape today. You naughty monkey, show me your fire dart!"
The Fire Dart seemed to be the Hengshan School's signature move. Heng Huang was quite familiar with it. With a flick of his finger, it launched, spinning like a whirlpool. Instantly, a series of swirling afterimages flew down from the Guanwu Platform, one step at a time, whirring through the air.
On the stage, Li Xuanbai blocked Gu Zhi's attack, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound in his ears. He turned his head to avoid it narrowly, and with a glance, he saw the man sitting in the center of the martial arts arena, holding his Nong Shan Yue in his hand, and pointing twice in the air.
He understood what he meant, and when he looked up again, the person in front of him had already seen who he was secretly communicating with. His already gloomy expression suddenly turned into shock and pain.
He was in a good mood. Two or three beads split into two paths, circled around Gu Zhi's back and headed towards his cervical spine. He swung like a sword flower, tapped his toes lightly, and spun neatly in the air.
Unexpectedly, I felt pain in my knees and arms.
He fell to the ground, unable to recover his knees, and staggered on the ground.
“Fuck…”
Covering his arm, he looked at the person in the center of the martial arts viewing platform in disbelief.
The only beautiful face sitting among the many white-robed male disciples tilted her head, curved her eyes, and smiled at him.
Nan Qiongshuang played with his Nong Shanyue in her palm, and met his murderous gaze without avoiding it, without caring at all, and hugged her shoulders.
Isn't it just for your own happiness that you are willing to drag her into this?
Well, no one should think too much about it.
Li Xuanbai immediately sensed a hint of revenge in her deep eyes, and was so angry that he almost laughed.
Even if he didn't save her today in Bodhi Pavilion, and didn't care about her feelings, but before, he stood by her and protected her so many times, and even dared to go against Huide's face for her. Could it be that he helped her for nothing?
She doesn't appreciate his kindness at all?!
Suddenly, a bead hit his back fiercely, almost piercing his back. The force was not like that of a competition among disciples on the mountain. It seemed as if it wanted to hollow out his heart and lungs on the spot. It was an extremely cruel killing move.
Gu Huaijin: "Still watching?!"
Li Xuanbai gritted his teeth and smiled, dodging the attack. "I'm going to kill you today." He raised his palm and a stream of beads of energy shot straight at Gu Zhixue's position. "I'll kill you first, then I'll go settle the score with her. No one can escape."
Gu Zhi thrust out a palm with resentment, the palm wind roaring, "How dare you say that. You usually show off yourself, but if I really want you to pay a price, you won't save me?"
Li Xuanbai laughed and blocked the sword. "But don't we still have you, Master Gu? How can we compare to you?"
Gu Zhi was filled with hatred. He pushed his palm and a string of beads flew out in all directions, heading towards Li Xuanbai's joints. "You dare to count on me?! Disgusting."
Suddenly, Li Xuanbai heard another whirling sound in his ears.
He turned around and saw the person in the center of the martial arts arena smiling and pointing out the direction for him.
He chuckled. "Now that things have come to this, did she think he would still believe her?" He dodged and leaped in the opposite direction.
His shoulders and waist were suddenly cut by the flying boomerang, causing a sharp pain and blood staining his white clothes red.
Fuck, he's fucking right this time?!
Li Xuanbai was furious and looked towards the martial arts viewing platform in disbelief.
The Chang'e-like face in the middle of the crowd, holding up her cheek, leisurely playing with the mountain moon between her fingers, looked at him with interest.
Seeing him looking at her, Nan Qiong Shuang couldn't help but sneer.
You didn't expect that.
I might help you, or I might hurt you. Guess, next time, will I help you, or will I hurt you?
The four words "unpredictable" are the four words of truth she has summed up when dealing with men over the years.
You can never guess what I'm thinking.
On the stage, Gu Huaijin felt like he had a breath stuck in his chest and couldn't breathe no matter what.
The panic that almost made him drown on land in the Bodhi Pavilion just now slowly flooded his ears, throat, mouth and nose.
She was helping him. Helping Li Xuanbai.
She had only deliberately misled him twice before, causing him to be hit twice.
Now, he is actually helping him.
Why would you help Li Xuanbai deal with him? Why?
What had he done wrong? What had he done to upset her?
In the Bodhi Pavilion, he was so tolerant, he had already been so tolerant.
Not enough? What else do you want?
Could it be that he heard that the two of them were going down the mountain together, and he was the only person in the entire mountain who was kept in the dark, so in this situation, shouldn't he have any emotions at all?
Suddenly, there was a burning pain in my waist like a knife cutting.
He lowered his head and was shocked to see that his disciple robe had been cut open on his lower abdomen. Blood stained his white clothes red and slowly spread out.
Across from him, Li Xuanbai laughed, "Oh, you didn't even dodge this?"
He seemed not to hear anything, and felt a little happy in his heart. He looked up at the audience.
The person sitting in the middle of the martial arts viewing platform was surrounded by a group of male disciples. The faces of the others were unclear, but she was the only one who looked pretty. She was whispering to Yi Haichuan, and they smiled at each other.
Li Xuanbai in front of him shouted: "Where are you looking? I also want to ask you a question!" He raised his sword and slashed at him.
It seemed as if there were a few more beads on his waist and back, almost wearing out his clothes and penetrating into his flesh.
But it didn't hurt much. Or maybe he didn't care much.
Li Xuanbai's mood instantly brightened when he saw him looking so lost. He pressed him with both his sword and his flying bead. "What? You can't stand seeing her helping me?"
Gu Huaijin just lowered his eyes, without a trace of fighting spirit, and raised his sword to block dejectedly and numbly.
Li Xuanbai became even more arrogant. He swung his sword with each step, and threw his natal bead like a meteorite. Every time he took a step forward, Gu Zhi staggered back, almost to the edge of the ring.
So tired, he just felt so tired.
What’s the point of comparing here, first or second place?
It would be better to step down quickly. There are some things he must do now, and waiting even a second will cause him to suffer terribly.
Today, his mind is almost exhausted.
Suddenly, she saw out of the corner of her eye that on the martial arts viewing platform, a vortex-like afterimage flew silently towards her back.
She was completely oblivious, still chatting and laughing with Yi Haichuan. In front of her, Li Xuanbai gritted his teeth, his sword flashing as dazzlingly as falling petals. "Where are you looking?! Are you looking down on me?!"
He watched the blue sword blade approaching him, but he closed his eyes calmly.
Under the martial arts viewing platform, Nan Qiongshuang suddenly heard a loud bang not far behind her, which almost made her fall off her seat.
Turning around, she saw a three-edged red tasseled dart falling quietly behind her, a sign of surrender.
She looked up, and a colorful and crystal-clear natal bead soared into the air and flew straight into the open palm of the person on the stage.
However, the person on the stage collected the beads with such skill and ease, but he closed his eyes and let the person in front of him move left and right, with sword flowers flashing, just standing there, not even bothering to open his eyelids.
She couldn't help but frown.
What's wrong with this person?
Suddenly, a hand rested on her shoulder, and she called softly, "Miss Chu."
