Chapter 1542: Must Not Be Defeated
Everyone went directly to the martial arts arena of the Situ family.
Situ Taili knew that Yi Feng was a person who could not be provoked, so he did not dare to make things too difficult for Cang Sheng.
He chose the tenth-ranked young man in the clan and let him compete with Cang Sheng.
The Situ Mansion was not big, and the news that Cang Sheng was going to the arena spread quickly. Except
for the servants, most people in the mansion came to the martial arts arena to watch.
The martial arts arena was full of noise for a while.
The arena was circular, with a diameter of a hundred feet.
It was paved with hard and thick bluestone slabs, and under the setting sun, it reflected blood-like dark red and deep blue.
On the arena.
Cang Sheng, dressed in black, stood in the middle of the arena.
He has a handsome face, sharp features, and bronze skin that highlights his masculinity.
Opposite to Cangsheng is a young man with a relatively fair face and a well-proportioned body.
He has a handsome face and looks like a graceful young hero.
This is Situ Qingyi's cousin, Situ Fang.
Situ Fang looked at Cangsheng coldly.
He had seen Cangsheng before and knew that he was an orphan who made a living by escorting the Situ family. For
such a person to want to marry the eldest daughter of their Situ family is simply like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
"You are only at the sixth level of martial arts. Are you sure you want to compete with me? I am at the seventh level of martial arts!"
Cang Sheng nodded firmly and said, "I am sure."
"Huh!"
Situ Fu smiled coldly and said jokingly, "Then if you lose, don't blame me for bullying the weak and taking advantage of the big."
"If I, Cang Sheng, lose, I will have no complaints."
The people below the stage were talking a lot.
“這蒼勝今天才被揍了一頓，現在竟然還想越階與放少爺對決，還真是不知死活啊！”
“這小子為了能娶小姐，也是豁出去了，倒是挺有骨氣。”
“有骨氣有什麽用，實力不行還不是只有被掃地出門的份。”
“哎，這小子怎麽就愛高攀呢？若是他這次輸了，恐怕以後司徒家都不會讓他一起運镖了……”
“初生牛犢不怕虎呗。”
司徒太禮請易楓在看臺落座。
他側頭看向易楓，低聲說道：“道友，蒼勝有傷在身，勝出的希望微乎其微。若你不想他再負傷，現在就可以帶着他離開我司徒府。”
易楓端着茶盞，淺呷了一口。
He said calmly, "I appreciate your kindness. It is normal to get injured in a competition. However, Cang Sheng will definitely win."
"Don't worry, if he loses, I will take him away immediately."
Situ Taili narrowed his eyes slightly.
He asked Yi Feng this not because he was worried that Cang Sheng would get injured again, but because he was worried that if Cang Sheng lost, Yi Feng would continue to make trouble.
But since Yi Feng said so, he had nothing to worry about.
Situ Qingyi sat next to her father, she tightly grasped her yellow gauze skirt.
Her delicate eyebrows seemed to be shrouded by dark clouds, her dark eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her breathing seemed a little heavy.
Cang Sheng looked at Situ Qingyi, his eyes showing no sign of love and judgement.
Situ Qingyi mouthed a word of caution, Cang Sheng nodded slightly, and then looked at Yi Feng.
Yi Feng encouraged: "Cang Sheng, believe in yourself, you can do it!"
Cang Sheng nodded solemnly, and then drew out the long sword in his hand.
He knew in his heart that even if he was facing an opponent stronger than himself, he had to prove himself.
"The competition begins!"
With Situ Taili's order, Situ Fang, holding a simple knife, attacked Cang Sheng directly.
Situ Fang looked gentle and refined, but his attack was extremely ruthless.
A lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit.
For Situ Fang, this competition was about the face of the Situ family and his cousin's marriage.
Even if Cang Sheng is not as good as him, he will go all out.
In an instant, Situ Fang arrived in front of Cang Sheng.
"Ping Ping Ping..."
He spread out his aura, swung his plain sword fiercely, and slashed at Cang Sheng.
Cang Sheng held his sword to block and counter-attack to relieve the force. He used his agile body movements and excellent sword skills to resist.
But every time Cang Sheng thought he could fight back.
What came up was a faster and more powerful blade.
The sound of metal clashing never stopped, and sparks flew all over the arena.
Cang Sheng, who was already injured, was beaten back by Situ Fang.
He could only barely dodge the attack and could not form an effective counterattack at all.
While fighting, Situ Fang joked, "At your age, it's not bad that you can take so many of my swords. But it's just good. If you want to beat me and marry my cousin, just dream on!"
Situ Fang's move was undoubtedly to defeat his opponent psychologically first.
But Cang Sheng was very determined to marry Situ Qingyi.
Even if it meant risking his own life, Cang Sheng would never back down.
But the current situation still made Cang Sheng feel very bad.
Cang Sheng's brain was working rapidly. While resisting the attacks, he was thinking about how he should respond and how to defeat the strong with the weak.
Seeing the gap between the two sides, Situ Taili couldn't help shaking his head.
Situ Qingyi's heart seemed to be grasped by someone and was being pulled hard.
Everyone at the ring was not optimistic about Cang Sheng.
"It is impossible for Cang Sheng to fight against an opponent of a higher level. He is no match for Master Fang! Moreover, he is injured."
"Cang Sheng, just admit defeat. If you try to be brave, you will only lose your life!"
"Hey, isn't this just doing something knowing it's impossible? Young people nowadays are really too impulsive."
...
No one present was optimistic about Cang Sheng, not even Situ Qingyi, except Yi Feng.
Yi Feng was just calmly sipping tea, and then quietly watching the fierce attack and defense on the stage.
"Ping Ping Ping..."
Cang Sheng has been dodging and defending.
Occasionally he would launch a counterattack when he had the chance.
However, his counterattacks were too hasty and weak, and could not pose any threat to Situ Fang at all.
Everyone thought that Cang Sheng would be defeated soon.
But what they didn't expect was that Cang Sheng had been on the edge of defeat, but he had been gritting his teeth and persevering.
The offensive and defensive battle between the two gradually became white-hot and reached a critical point.
Situ Fang kept attacking, but he couldn't really hurt Cang Sheng, who was superb in both body movement and swordsmanship.
Cang Sheng kept blocking and dodging, but in turn consumed Situ Fang's strength.
"Master Fang
can't seem to cut Cang Sheng." "Yeah, can Cang Sheng really defeat the strong with the weak?"
"If Master Fang was defeated by such an injured person with lower cultivation than him, he would be humiliated!"
The people under the ring were talking about it.
In front of so many clansmen.
Situ Fang, who had a higher cultivation, heard the rumors and saw that he couldn't defeat Cang Sheng for a long time, and he became more and more angry.
Cang Sheng was like a monkey, constantly dodging attacks.
In Situ Fang's opinion, this was not a contest between men at all.
This Cang Sheng was simply a coward.
"Cang Sheng, I thought you would fight me like a man, but who knew you would just run around like a homeless dog. In this case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Situ Fang said, and immediately activated the sword technique.
The powerful sword intent covered the simple sword, and he really wanted to kill.
At the beginning.
Situ Fang felt that he had a higher level of cultivation, so he did not really kill.
But Cang Sheng was like a monkey playing, running around on the stage, making him lose face in front of his clansmen.
No wonder he was merciless.
Cang Sheng's heart trembled violently when he heard this.
Situ Fang's attack before had almost made him unable to defend himself.
Now.
If Situ Fang really wanted to be ruthless, the situation would probably take a turn for the worse.
As soon as Cang Sheng thought of this.
Situ Fang's violent and torrential attack immediately came like an overwhelming force.
Seeing this, Situ Qingyi was horrified to the extreme.
She burst into tears directly.
She begged her father to spare Cang Sheng.
Cang Sheng tried his best to resist the attack, and inevitably many blood marks were left on his body by the sword energy.
"Dangdangdang..."
The simple knife kept slashing at the long sword, leaving gaps on the blade.
Every knife of Situ Fang contained a strong sword energy.
This sword energy made Cang Sheng suffer a lot.
Situ Fang's eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth raised a cold arc.
His hair was flying wildly, like a spinning top holding a knife, and he slashed at Cang Sheng frantically.
While dodging hastily
, Cang Sheng caught a glimpse of Situ Qingyi who was begging her father.
At this moment,
Cang Sheng only felt the unwillingness, hatred, and shame in his heart rekindled.
No!
He, Cang Sheng, must not lose.
He wants to marry his beloved girl, and he wants to take care of his beloved girl for the rest of his life.
At this moment,
Yi Feng's words and teachings echoed in his mind.
"Cang Sheng, you only live once, don't leave yourself with regrets."
"Cang Sheng, believe in yourself, you can do it!"
"Cang Sheng, only when you focus on it can you achieve the unity of man and sword!"
Past scenes flashed through Cang Sheng's mind.
He closed his eyes unconsciously, relying on his perception to resist the dense rain of attacks.
"What's going on, why did Cang Sheng close his eyes?"
"Did Cang Sheng give up?"
"No, he was blocking the attack!"
"This is too ridiculous, Cang Sheng actually relied on perception to avoid Master Fang's attack?!"
Everyone was stunned.
Only Yi Feng raised the corner of his mouth.
