The hilt of the short sword in Zhang Yi's hand has also been soaked in blood. Even if he blocked Xia Song's "heaven and earth" blow by relying on two consecutive white sheep pick horns, the powerful force would crack his tiger's mouth and grind his palms. rotten.
However, at this moment, he was still holding the small sword very tightly, so hard that blood was squeezed out from between his fingers.
After the short and small sword in his hand stopped at this moment, the surface looked rougher and duller, even with some obvious graininess, and the material was exactly like ordinary stone.
Looking at the small sword and listening to Xu Lianhua's question, Ding Ning nodded calmly.
"I thought Cave Master Xue passed this sword to you." Xu Lianhua said seriously after a moment of silence.
Ding Ning glanced at him and said: "Brother is more generous than me, and also much more stable than me. Naturally, this sword must be passed on to him."
In the sound of the conversation between the two, Xia Song had already fallen heavily to the ground and could no longer stand up. The shock of many people in the field had only just begun.
The little sword that Zhang Yi is holding tightly at this time is naturally Xue Wangxu's natal sword that shook the entire Changling last winter. However, after Xue Wangxu's lifelong nurturing, there must be many complementary points between this sword and the many sword scriptures in Baiyang Cave, at least when it was displayed just now. When it comes to picking the horns of an Aries, there is probably no sword in the world that is more suitable than this sword.
The entire Changling Mausoleum did not have a high opinion of Zhang Yi before, but now this sword did not appear in Ding Ning's hands, but it appeared in his hands.
The most shocking thing to these selected students watching the battle and the teachers in various places of practice is that they thought about every scene of the battle between the two sides just now, thinking that Zhang Yi had taken the lead with a sword but then stopped, it seemed that Zhang Yi was just waiting for Xia Song to come To launch such a fierce attack under anger, Zhang Yi only had such a calculation, and it was possible for Zhang Yi to use the sword with his left and right hands in a row to pick the horns.
So Zhang Yi's pause and waiting is not because of his gentle and overly generous character.
Even at the end of the decisive victory, Zhang Yi's melee combat ability even surpassed that of Xia Song.
All this made all the selected students who watched the battle realize that Zhang Yi was far from being as weak as they imagined... It gave people such a feeling only because of his humility and low profile.
At this time, the student who couldn't help but sneer and said what Zhang Yi was waiting for, but later felt wrong because of Xia Song's remark before the counterattack, finally realized why he felt something wrong at that time.
Because Xia Song said that Zhang Yi was proud at the time, but in retrospect, from the beginning of the Sword Club to the present, even if he defeated Xia Song, who was ranked eleventh in the talent book at this moment, Zhang Yi only had an apologetic look in his eyes. There has been pride.
In a sense, Zhang Yi is not a hidden powerhouse, and the natal sword that Xue Wangxu left him cannot play any decisive role. The more inexplicably cold.
Zhang Yi slowly put away the small sword in his left hand, and looked at Xia Song who fell to the ground and kept coughing up blood. He was very apologetic, and finally couldn't help but bowed and saluted, and said seriously: "I'm sorry...but I never underestimated you, I also No sword can ever defeat your thoughts."
He clearly knew that Zhang Yi was sincerely apologizing, but at this moment Xia Song felt even more ashamed and angry, and with a puff, another mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth.
"The strength of a group of people is more terrifying than the strength of a single person."
Jing Liuli said this to Tantai Guanjian beside her, and turned her eyes to the tent of the palace maid surnamed Rong on the cliff in the distance, and said slightly mockingly: "Even Master Lin thinks that this sword will become more and more powerful." Interesting, I want to see how that person plans to end up."
Although Ding Ning also had Nangong Caishu and Xia Wan withdraw from the Sword Club, but after Zhang Yi defeated Xia Song, the people on Ding Ning's side became stronger and stronger no matter how they looked at it.
Looking at Zhang Yi who was walking back towards Ding Ning and the others, Lin Suixin had a rare smile on his lips again.
It was precisely because of what Jing Liuli said, that the sword test became more and more interesting, so after Ding Ning defeated Zhou Wangnian with a single sword and shocked the audience, he successively arranged Nangong Caishu, Zhang Yi, Xia Wan appearance.
Naturally, this arrangement contained some deliberate pressure on the aura created by Ding Ning. The reason for this was that he wanted to see what method Ding Ning would have to regain the aura he had created with great difficulty after it was destroyed.
The confrontation between the two camps at both ends of the hut was no different from the confrontation between the two armies. What he wanted to see was Ding Ning's ability as the leader of the army.
Now not only Ding Ning, but also Zhang Yi and others have revealed abilities that surprised him one by one. Now that he has seen it clearly, he will naturally make some compensations to make this sword test more fair.
So when he didn't look down at the volume in his hand, he announced a person's name: "Dugu Bai."
At this time, many people were shocked. Hearing these three words, there was another heavy breathing sound like a tide.
"To Zong Jingqiu." Lin Suixin flipped through the volume really casually, and read out the first name where his eyes fell.
"It's my turn to play."
Hearing his opponent's name, Dugu Bai just glanced at Ding Ning, Xu Lianhua and others beside him, said this sentence calmly, and started to move towards Zhang Yi who was walking back.
Before the final sword trial began, he sharpened many wooden swords with great concentration, but at this time these wooden swords were piled on the ground beside his feet like firewood, and he didn't even bring these wooden swords with him.
But his opponent, a young man in blue, had a face as white as snow, and he almost cried outright.
Dugu Bai has never made a move in Changling, but when the book of talents came out, all the young talents in Changling thought that Dugu Bai must be the first in the book of talents, even though he was ranked first in the book of talents later It is Lie Yinghong, but in the minds of many people, Dugu Bai is still the number one doing his part.
And this Zong Jingqiu, who was born in Yuchan Taoist Temple, is always ranked after 30 in the list of talents, and at this time his left leg is injured, and he is even inconvenient to move. In anyone's eyes, this is a strong battle. A duel that is too weak.
…
Dugu Bai and Zhang Yi nodded and saluted each other, then moved on, and walked into the venue where Zhang Yi and Xia Song were dueling.
Looking at the opposite opponent who was walking hard with a sword and looked like he was about to cry, Dugu Bai pondered for a while, and then said: "You are seriously injured, and I will only use one sword, as long as you can take it If you can hold my sword, I will admit defeat."
"Only one sword?"
There was an exclamation.
Zong Jingqiu, who was about to cry, was stunned, and raised her head in disbelief, with hope reappearing in her eyes.
"This is too exaggerated." Xia Wan couldn't help but frowned, and couldn't help but say.
She did not doubt Dugu Bai's strength.
She can be sure that Dugu Bai should have the strength to defeat Zong Jingqiu with a single sword in normal times, but if she says this first, Zong Jingqiu doesn't need to think too much about him, she just needs to guard it wholeheartedly.
Although his injury is not serious, there will be no problem with the defensive sword style full of sword intent in actual combat.
In her opinion, Dugu Bai's doing so was a bit too dangerous and unnecessary.
"He wants to hit the morale of the opponent."
Hearing Xia Wan's words, Zhang Yi, who had just walked not far in front of her, explained in a serious and soft voice: "Before, my Junior Brother Ding Ning defeated Zhou Wangnian with a single sword, which had greatly frustrated the morale of those people. When the sword defeats the opponent, the people on the opposite side will become more nervous. If there is too much pressure and too much tension, they will often make mistakes.”
Such words are not difficult to understand, Xia Wan's brows slowly loosened, she looked at Zhang Yi's gentle face, nodded, and said: "Your junior brother is right, Zhang Yi, you are indeed much stronger than we imagined. "
"Where is it?" Zhang Yi's face turned red immediately, and she shook her head again and again.
"It's much stronger than we imagined, and we have to add a condition, that is, when you are not a mother-in-law." Seeing Zhang Yi's appearance, Xu Lianhua couldn't help smiling contemptuously, and hummed: "To tell the truth, just now I was a little surprised that you didn't have a mother-in-law in the competition with Xia Song."
Zhang Yi lowered her head even more ashamedly and said: "The younger brother has reminded me before, and it was Miss Xia Wan who let me enter this round. If I lose this round because of my mother-in-law, how can I be worthy of Xia Wan?" girl."
"So it's because of Xia Wan." Xu Lianhua laughed.
"I... this..." Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong, but he didn't know how to explain it, his face was flushed for a moment but he couldn't speak.
Xia Wan also blushed slightly, and gave Xu Lianhua a hard look.
"We all know how strong Dugu Baiqiang is, but it depends on this sword."
Xu Lianhua turned her head away, her face soon became serious, and said in a deep voice.
Xia Wan was also successfully distracted, and her pupils unconsciously shrank slightly, because at this time, Dugu Bai had already started to slowly draw his sword.
