Eternal Sword

Chapter 404 Accident
Of the two people fighting in the martial arts arena, one was a young swordsman wearing a robe as white as snow with the special logo of the Sword Pavilion engraved on the cuffs. He had a handsome face and bright eyes, and in his hand he was holding a long sword as thin as a cicada's wing and shining with cold light.

From what people around were saying, this person was Ye Lingyun from Jiange, who had already cultivated to the fourth level.

The man he fought with was named Lu Gang, who came from the imperial palace. He was unknown in the martial arts world and was said to be just a small leader in the imperial guards.

This man was dressed in a black and gold military uniform. He had a fierce look in his eyes and a fierce expression between his brows. He held a knife in both hands, the blade emitting a cold light. He was at the fifth level of Inner Alchemy Realm.

There is a gap between the two realms, and Ye Lingyun is a disciple of the Sword Pavilion. The battle has just begun, but the outcome is already determined.

as predicted.

After less than ten moves, Lu Gang was already at a complete disadvantage and was losing ground.

Under Ye Lingyun's extremely fierce sword attack, they had almost no power to resist!

If you defend for too long, you will lose. Lu Gang seemed to realize this and his swordsmanship suddenly changed. He completely gave up on defense, ignored Ye Lingyun's sword moves, and attacked Ye Lingyun against the trend!
This is a completely life-threatening style of fighting, which has gone beyond the scope of sparring.

Only those who have been on the battlefield and survived the mountains of corpses and seas of blood could hone such murderous sword skills!
In some rounds, Lu Gang even chose to sacrifice his own life and leave a wound on Ye Lingyun's body, even if it was only a minor injury!
Ye Lingyun never gave him this opportunity.

With this ruthlessness, Lu Gang was able to turn the situation around somewhat.

However, in the eyes of many experts, the gap between the two sides is still too big.

When the people in Langya Pavilion saw this scene, they were not worried.

After a few more moves, Ye Lingyun's sword moves changed, and seemed to slow down suddenly. Every sword thrust out was heavier than a thousand pounds!
There is a huge gap between the two sides. Even if you want to fight to the death, you don't have the chance.

Ye Lingyun no longer chose to win by sword moves, but to subdue by force. Every sword he struck blocked Lu Gang's blade and collided with it head-on.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
After only three moves, Lu Gang couldn't bear it anymore. He took three steps back and spat out blood. He was already injured.

The outcome has been decided.

Ye Lingyun put away his sword and stood there, seemingly indifferent, but there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

"As expected of the heir of the Sword Pavilion, he can easily handle it."

"What do you think? Langya Pavilion sent Ye Lingyun out first to do a favor for Jian Pavilion. Let him fight one against three. With this battle, he can become famous all over the world."

"That's right. If not for this, Ye Lingyun is in the Awakening Stage and will definitely be the last to appear."

"Hehe! The Xiangguo Mansion is probably going to cry to death. After all the hype and making such a big fuss, it ended up making wedding clothes for the heir of Jiange."

The people around were talking in low voices.

After listening for a while, Chen Tang roughly understood.

The Xiangguo Mansion and Langya Pavilion had an appointment to fight, and each sent three people to the stage, but the rule was not to fight three games, with two wins out of three.

Instead, three people from each side take turns to fight and see which side can stand to the end.

In this way, it is indeed possible that Ye Lingyun will be the first to appear, win battles in a row, and defeat three people from the Xiangguo Mansion alone.

"What are you waiting for? Go down!"

"Change someone!"

Everyone in the Jianghu camp started to make a fuss.

Everyone on the Xiangguo Mansion side looked normal, and seemed to have no intention of replacing anyone.

"What are your names!"

Shen Guobao shouted, "The outcome has not yet been decided. This has just begun!"

In the martial arts arena, Lu Gang stretched out his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, circulated his internal energy, and his eyes became more and more ferocious, even revealing a hint of madness!
"kill!"

Lu Gang roared and pounced towards Ye Lingyun again.

Ye Lingyun frowned slightly, swung his sword with his backhand, and his internal energy burst out, slashing on Lu Gang's long sword.

Lu Gang had already suffered internal injuries, and this sword was enough to knock him away, adding insult to injury!
Clang!
At the moment the swords collided, Ye Lingyun's expression changed.

Not only did this sword fail to repel Lu Gang, but he felt a tremendous force surging from the opponent's sword!
How can it be?

The power of Lu Gang's sword has reached the level of enlightenment!

Even though this man was injured, his strength did not decrease but increased, and it increased to such an extent that Ye Lingyun was caught off guard and was slightly distracted.

Lu Gang held the long sword with both hands and twisted it hard, trying to knock Ye Lingyun's sword away!
After all, Ye Lingyun is the successor of the Sword Pavilion, and his reaction is extremely fast. He changes his moves in an instant, and the sword body shakes, making a clear sword sound. He moves forward and stabs straight into Lu Gang's chest!

This sword showed great skill, even Chen Tang couldn't help but cheer in secret when he saw it.

But Lu Gang seemed not to feel the stabbing sword. He dropped the long sword with both hands, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely excited. Like a madman, he jumped towards Ye Lingyun!
The two were very close to each other. Seeing Lu Gang acting like a mad ghost, Ye Lingyun was frightened and had no time to change his tactics.

puff!

The long sword penetrated through the body and pierced Lu Gang's chest!

Lu Gang had already pounced in front of Ye Lingyun and slapped his palms heavily on the latter's chest, causing a dull sound!
puff!
Ye Lingyun suffered such a heavy blow that he spat out a mouthful of blood, his sword slipped out of his hand, and he flew out uncontrollably and fell heavily to the ground.

This sudden change happened in a flash.

Before many people could react, the battle was over.

The whole place was in an uproar!

Everyone in Langya Pavilion's faces changed drastically.

This result was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.

Ye Lingyun did lack some experience in life-and-death battles, but the process of his defeat just now was somewhat strange and a bit weird.

Originally Ye Lingyun had the upper hand, but for some reason, Lu Gang suddenly broke out and reversed the situation, risking his own life to severely injure Ye Lingyun!
Lu Gang fell to the ground, stabbed in the chest, dead.

Ye Lingyun slowly stood up from the ground, his body shaking slightly, breathing slightly, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He has been practicing martial arts for so long, but he has never encountered such a madman!
He won, but it was a pyrrhic victory.

"Carry it away and bury it with honor."

Over at the Xiangguo Mansion, a calm and composed young man next to Xia Daozi spoke in a nonchalant tone, then closed his eyes and rested, showing no concern for what had just happened.

It seemed that the person who just died was not a person, but an ant. "This is too intense."

Zhu Lingxue was shocked and said, "Didn't we agree to have a sparring match? How come someone died right after we started? The sparring in our sect is much more friendly."

"what happened?"

Mei Zhenyu looked puzzled and couldn't help asking, "How did Ye Lingyun lose just now? It doesn't make sense?"

"I do not know either."

Chen Tang shook his head, also failing to see the mystery.

Lu Gang is indeed not afraid of death, but without sufficient strength as a foundation, it would be difficult for him to defeat Ye Lingyun.

After this person was injured, his strength seemed to suddenly increase, which was really strange.

At this moment, Ali stretched out his finger from behind and quietly poked Chen Tang in the lower back.

Chen Tang looked back.

Ali stretched out his palm and wiped it across his mouth.

Chen Tang didn't understand what Ali meant and was about to ask when Ali turned over his palm.

There was a pill hidden in her palm!
Chen Tang's heart moved, and he asked softly, "Are you saying that when this person wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth just now, he took the opportunity to take some kind of medicine?"

Ali nodded.

As a hidden ghost, Ali has amazing observation skills and can capture many details that ordinary people cannot perceive.

Chen Tang asked again: "Do you know what medicine has this effect?"

Ali shook his head.

On the martial arts field.

The Prime Minister's Mansion sent out a second person.

"Isn't this Mu Qianjun, the 'Borderless Sword' of the Liyun Sword Sect? He is also the eleventh-ranked genius on the Fengyun Ranking!"

"Why did he help the Xiangguo Mansion to fight?"

"Haha, what's the point of being ranked higher? I didn't expect Wufengjian to be so depraved that he actually ran to serve the treacherous prime minister and was willing to be his lackey!"

The many people from the martial arts world present were not averse to getting involved in the court.

After all, some wanderers will also join the Northern Expedition.

But what everyone objected to was that they knew that Xia Daozi and Shen Guobao, a pair of treacherous ministers, were disrupting the government, but they still helped them and aided them in committing atrocities.

Mu Qianjun had a blank expression on his face, holding a huge heavy sword in his hand, and seemed oblivious to the discussions around him.

Ye Lingyun took a breath and was about to fight again with the sword, but Old Lady Su said, "Lingyun, come back."

"Grandma, I can still fight!"

Ye Lingyun was unwilling to let this end.

"Humph!"

Ye Xuan suddenly snorted coldly.

Ye Lingyun trembled all over, lowered his head, and returned to Langya Pavilion quietly.

In fact, Ye Lingyun still has the strength to fight.

But he had internal injuries after all. If he fought again, his injuries would definitely be affected, and the gain would not be worth the loss.

"Lingyun, leave the rest to me and Zhiyuan, don't worry."

Su Muzhe walked forward to meet Ye Lingyun, comforted him softly, and came to the martial arts field with a sword in hand.

"Ye Lingyun won a tragic victory. The situation does not seem good for Langya Pavilion."

"It's nothing. As long as Su Muzhe wins this battle, the third battle will be easy for Langya Pavilion."

"Who was the third person sent by Xiangguo Mansion?"

"It's that useless son of his, Xia Yuanxian!"

"Haha, that's definitely stable."

In the martial arts arena, after Mu Qianjun and Su Muzhe saluted with their swords, they started fighting without saying a word.

Both sides are at the fifth level of Inner Alchemy Realm.

Although Mu Qianjun's ranking on the list is slightly behind, in fact, the gap between the two is not that big.

The sword techniques of the two are completely different.

Mu Qianjun wielded the heavy sword without an edge, and his thirteen sword moves of the Cloud-Splitting Style were wide open and close, fierce and swift. Each move had the force of thunder, as if it could tear through the clouds and soar into the sky.

However, Su Muzhe's 'Peach Blossom Flying Sword' is elegant and agile, his sword skills are poetic and picturesque, his body is light and graceful, and his body movements are as graceful as a startled swan, making him look like a sword immortal banished to the mortal world.

The two men have two completely different sword techniques, but their realms are the same. The outcome of this battle not only affects the battle between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Langya Pavilion.

It will also affect the ranking of this year's list!

As time went by, the two sides had already exchanged hundreds of moves.

At this moment, Mu Qianjun's sword moves became agile and graceful. Although he was wielding a huge sword in his hand, his sword moves became extremely delicate.

Su Muzhe held a long sword, and his sword moves became slower and slower. Every time he struck out, it seemed as if he was wielding a giant sword, with amazing power!
This feeling is extremely strange, and many people are confused and don't know the reason behind it.

Chen Tang's skills in kendo are far inferior to those in swordsmanship.

But he had a keen eye and could see that Mu Qianjun had reached the sword realm of 'lifting heavy things as if they were light', while Su Muzhe had reached the sword realm of 'lifting light things as if they were heavy'.

Both of them are indeed geniuses in kendo!
If nothing unexpected happens, Su Muzhe is still better.
