In front of the bamboo garden, there is an open space.
The night has come.
This kind of environment is actually very suitable for a duel, very elegant. I have always thought that there are two places to choose for a serious duel, either in a secluded wilderness where no one knows, with a nice and empty environment, or to go to the top of the Forbidden City, where everyone in the world can watch a hearty contest.
But unfortunately, the opponent this time really didn't make me feel good at all.
On the contrary, I am very irritable.
I began to understand why so many people are keen to fight mosquitoes, and there is no mercy. Mosquitoes are really annoying, they have no skills, they just bite when they see the opportunity, and they buzz all day long. Who wouldn't want to slap something like this
At least I thought so.
"I'll give you one last chance, Lide. Let your maid come over, and she will be slashed by my guards, and it's over. She's just a woman, and she can't afford to lose her life because of it. Losing face is better than losing life, anyway. You don't have any face to lose, do you? Maybe you don't know, when I was in the sea of clouds, I watched you dance in a woman's makeup from the audience, and told myself in my heart—"
Noren looked into my eyes and said word by word:
"I told myself to work hard to become stronger and not to live as lowly as you. If one day I degenerate into your appearance, I might as well pick up a knife and kill myself, and I'll die. I really don't know you are so shameless Why do you still have the guts to live?"
I bowed to him, smiled and said:
"Remember so clearly, you are also my fan? Why don't you sign your autograph later?"
"I'll sign it on your corpse!!"
Noren drew his sword from his guard and was about to come over, but was stopped by the king. After all, the race hasn't officially started yet, so there's no reason to do it directly, and you can't run away. The king pointed to a huge circle drawn on the ground, and said:
"Getting out of the circle is considered a defeat, and one party loses its ability to fight. It is considered a defeat. If there are casualties in the fight, they will not be held accountable. Do you agree?"
How else could I disagree.
I ignored the king, but walked forward calmly.
In order to prevent accidental injury, the king and others did not approach the duel field, so Noren and I walked there together.
When I stepped into the circle, I moved my wrist and said to Norn:
"You said just now that it's not worth it for a maid, right?"
I turned my head to look into his eyes, laughed, lowered my voice, and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear:
"Let me tell you. If something happens to Alaiya, you, your father, and everyone in your Qiming territory... will not be able to pay for it if they die cleanly."
Noren shouted violently:
"What the hell are you talking about?"
I just walked forward, took my place, turned around, and looked at him. Noren's body was tense, and the sword in his hand gleamed coldly under the moonlight. It seemed that as soon as His Majesty gave an order, he would immediately jump up and cut me in half.
The smile on Noren's face gradually distorted, and he said to me:
"I will torture you slowly."
He put it this way:
"Until you cry and beg me to kill you!"
I didn't bother to say anything more to him, but said to His Majesty the King:
"It hasn't started yet, we're waiting for the food!"
His Majesty the King shouted loudly:
"Do it!"
In just two or three breaths, Noren had already rushed up, stabbing his shoulder with a sword.
What came to my mind were 273 ways to kill him.
And only for a moment.
There are too many flaws, if it is Alaya who strikes the sword, she will definitely beat him a hundred times.
But I finally held back.
I don't like this kind of buzzing mosquitoes, but I don't want to cause too much trouble for Yuxi City. If you really kill him, first of all, you will have a complete feud with the Qiming Territory. After all, this Norun is not just any city lord, but the heir of the Qiming Territory. He was chosen by the Qiming Lord to inherit the family business. I slap him If you shoot to death, anyone else will fight with me.
The second is more troublesome things, my strength will be exposed. This matter will soon be conveyed to the various city lords through the dog king, and the various city lords will go back and convey it to the various lords. Everyone will find, oh, it turns out that Lide is also a ruthless person. We targeted him and killed him in the cradle.
At that time, Yuxi City will still develop in secret, everyone will want to mess with me, who can resist it.
I didn't dodge it, because the sword wasn't fatal, it just pierced my left shoulder and splashed blood all over the ground.
I took two steps back and secretly tapped on his left rib.
For him, it was naturally painless.
I clutched my shoulders, trying to pretend it was in pain, but later realized that there was no need to pretend, it was really fucking painful.
Noren slashed at my right arm with another sword. This time I dodged a little, allowing the sword to cut a bloody mark on his chest, and lightly tapped on his right shoulder again.
This kind of movement is very slight, and it is impossible to see it clearly from a distance. Others can only see a wound he made on my chest, his ferocious smile and my embarrassed appearance.
This small detail is destined not to be known.
I pretended to be running away from the circle, Noren immediately noticed this, and shouted:
"Don't try to escape!"
I don't want to run away either, but I'm afraid I'll fight back.
I am afraid that if you fight back, you will die, and I will bear all the consequences in the end.
What a fucking trouble! Open the door for trouble. Trouble is at home.
One sword slashed sideways, one stabbed into the lung, one cut through the forehead, and the other grazed the cheek.
The back of his hand with a sword was bloody and bloody, and a sword cut a deep bone wound on his arm.
I know in my heart that it can be cured.
But it really hurts. It hurts to change anyone.
But every time, I would gently touch one of his acupuncture points, just calmly.
The ground inside the circle was spattered with blood.
I don't know how miserable I am, so miserable that it takes several Jinyi guards to hold down Alaiya to prevent her from rushing forward to fight Noren.
Finally, I stood there staggeringly, arms outstretched, and said to Noren:
"Come on! Come and kill me if you have the ability!"
Noren raised his sword, staring at me with scarlet eyes, then charged forward, jumped high, and slammed down the sword in his hand.
But the moment he jumped up, an incredible scene appeared.
Originally, he could easily win just by giving the last blow, but his body became extremely uncoordinated as if he lost control, twisting into a strange posture.
The sword slashed down, but it didn't hit me. Instead, it cut a deep and long crack on the ground far away, extending to the outside of the bamboo forest, sweeping the periphery of the bamboo forest to pieces. This sword was too fierce, so fierce that it didn't seem to be at the level of the five great perfections of the sword.
Noren fell to the ground, his body twitching.
The skin of the right arm holding the sword exploded, the muscles burst out, and blood flowed.
He froze for a few seconds, unable to accept the fact that he fell to the ground, spit out two mouthfuls of blood, and wanted to stand up, but unfortunately, it was impossible.
He had lost control of his body, opened his mouth wide to breathe, but was getting weaker and weaker like a fish deprived of oxygen.
I watched his pupils move up gradually, foam gushed from the corner of his mouth, and he just lost consciousness.
I felt my gaze was icy cold for a moment, and the corners of my mouth tended to rise.
But then, I took the initiative to change into a terrified look, holding my head, and muttering to myself like a poor, innocent person:
"How come... I didn't do it, I didn't do it! No! It's not me..."
