Vol 14 Chapter 7 (2/2)
Lu Chan has a rigid face, a fierce dehtened by his appearance After they have put on their arround once and are viewing each other with caution
Ji Yanran sighed: “Lu Buwei is faths and weaknesses Since he sent Lu Chan, he ”
Xiang Shaolong saw the Lu Chan is expressionless and hard to fathoth should lie in forceful attacks Lu Buwei must have wanted him to attack Lao Ai relentlessly and make Lao Ai lose face in front of everyone This will lower Lao Ai’s standing in the eyes of Zhu Ji and the people of Qin”
Before he can even finish speaking, Lu Chan roared and attacked Lao Ai
Qin Qing praised: “Official Xiang is truly a genius to make such accurate predictions” No one spoke out any
Sounds of the wooden sword swishi+ng through the air filled everyone’s ears Everyone held their breaths as they witnessed theof the duels
Lao Ai ood as Lu Chan or he is out to waste Lu Chan’s energy He did his best to avoid his blows and did not meet his attacks head on
Until Lu Chan’s fourth stroke brushed past his head did Lao Ai roar loudly and deflected his blows He focused on defending and deflecting his blows rather than attacking him
Lu Chan’s killing aura grew and he changed his sword styles, attacking Lao Ai mercilessly
Lao Ai changed his sword styles too and defended himself well He deflected his blows and retreated at the saround a few rounds, their steps were still firns of exhaustion
It is truly different when expert swordsht
Ying Ying’s female warriors are i for him Whenever he executed a skilful defensive stroke, they will cheer wildly for hihed: “Lu Chan has been tricked!”
Xiang Shaolong knehat he meant Lu Chan and Lao Ai’s swords skills are about the sath while Lao Ai isbattle, it appears that Lao Ai is gaining the upper hand while Lu Chan is losing his energy very quickly When he is exhausted, it will be Lao Ai’s opportunity to defeat him
Zhao Zhi was astonished: “Why didn’t Lu Buwei send Guan Zhongxie?”
Xiang Shaolong looked over to her and noticed the Tian sisters nervously keeping their eyes closed as they were too afraid to watch the fighting He cannot hold back but sxie will be the final straw”
Lu Chan is anxious to win and increased the intensity of the fight Everyone is taken aback by his ferocity and their eyes followed hisof the wooden swords filled the air
Lao Ai suddenly stopped retreating and yelledfrom the sea, his sword sliced forward and with a loud ‘Pak!’ he actually forced Lu Chan to retreat half a step He continued with a flurry of attacks that sent Lu Chan into a defending position Loud cheers and whistles were heard from the crowd
Teng Yi shook his head and sighed: “There are so es if you are handsome”
Lao Ai’s attacks became more andLu Chan to take several steps back But Lu Chan has high endurance Despite being at a disadvantage, he did not panic and everyone is also impressed with his resilience
Out of the blue, Lao Ai ceased his attacks and took a few steps back He bowed: “Brother Lu is highly-skilled I cannot hope to defeat you”
The entire crowd quietened down
Lu Chan was stunned for a while before he returned his greetings Both randstand
Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi glanced at each other They did not expect Lao Ai to end this beautifully He gave face to Lu Buwei and at the sa the upper hand Otherwise, if Guan Zhongxie challenges him in the next round, he will be in deep 5hit
Xu Xian decided that it is a draw and rewarded each htly disappointed
Fortunately, the next fighters were all experts frouards After several battles, the last fighter is Great General wang He’s assistant General Bai Chong who has beaten two challengers If he can win one old
Xiang Shaolong felt that the present fighters are allall his cavalry soldiers to hold back froxie should be fighting soon!” Teng Yi reminded: “Not so fast! There is still Zhou Zihen!”
Before his sentence ended, a short and stout Zhou Zihen stepped out of the crowd and entered the duelling ground
Everyone witnessed Bai Chong’s double victory and guessed that he will too defeat this naht, they cheered even louder and the at
As everyone watched on, Zhou Zihen lifted the wooden sword and tested its weight Abruptly, he brandished a dagger and swiftly sliced doards The end of the long sas severed off, leaving only one and a half feet of sword length
Everyone was bloay by his way of shortening his sword Moreover, he used a ser to sever the heavy wooden sword in one blow and it takes a very sharp dagger to achieve that Everyone was flabbergasted
Zhou Zihen begged Xiao Pan’s pardon: “Please forgiveshort swords” Xiao Pan’s interest was piqued and he gestured his approval
Bai Chong has a suspicious look on his face as he brandished his sword and awaited his attack With a serious expression, he was ready to counterattack anytime
In his heart, Xiang Shaolong deemed him to be a coward
There is a saying: An inch shorter is an inch of danger If Zhou Zihen is using such a short sword, his sword skills would be unorthodox and hard to defend against
With only these two fighters, Lu Buwei is already instilling fear in others Moreover, he still has Guan Zhongxie the champion swordsman
Zhou Zihen snorted andspeed His wooden sword has morphed into a flurry of quick sword stances and his sword see, this is the first time anyone has seen such a queer move
Bai Chong was stunned and roared He took half a step back before sweeping his sword horizontally across
Du! Zhou Zihen’s short sword parried away Bai Chong’s long shile his entire body crashed squarely into Bai Chong’s chest
Bai Chong was taken by surprise and suffered a heavy blow to his chest He lost his grip on his long sword and he fell down in a sitting position
nobody expected Bai Chong to lose in one blow and everyone forgot to cheer
wang He and Bai Chong were disgraced while Lu Gong and the other generals were embarrassed It was an aard moment
Finally, Lu Buwei took the lead in clapping and cheering for Zhou Zihen
Like a dishonouredstood up and walked away
Xiang Shaolong sucked in some cold air He deduced that Zhou Zihen is so at close proxi him himself
The atmosphere was tensed as Zhou Zihen proudly stood at the centre of the duelling ground, awaiting the next challenger After soht of Lu Buwei talking to Zhu Ji and heabout his skilful subordinate He had a brainwave and inquired: “Where is Little Jun?”
Teng Yi had the saility can counter Zhou Zihen and groaned: “I do not knohere he has sneaked off to Without our consent, he dared not fight”
At this tirandstand: “If there are no ers, ill assume that Zhou Zihen frohts”
The crowd became so quiet you can hear a pin drop
Xiang Shaolong sighed to hihts’, the military would lose face as they cannot even defeat someone from Lu Buwei’s forces
At the instant, so?” The moment the shout ended, the crowd of ten thousand people were chanting his name
Ever since his duel ang Jian, he has been the number one swordsman in the eyes of the people of Qin Moreover, he is a ‘Qin native’ With this outsider arrogantly waiting for a challenger, everyone naturally hope that he will take the stand and regain solory
Cries of ‘Xiang Shaolong’ filled the mountains and valleys
Xiang Shaolong saw that everyone around hionized Even without his leg injury, it will be a difficult task to overcome Zhou Zihen Now that his movement is limited, what should he do?
