Although Bing Ruyun did not say it, her face revealed a look of deep disappointment, and suddenly felt some regret. It was all her fault that she did not explain everything clearly in the horse carriage, she thought that this fellow would bring a powerful fighter, and did not expect him to actually come alone.
Did he really think he was an expert?
Bing Ruyun bit her lips, looked at Xu Qingmo, and was about to speak, but stopped. In the end, she could only sigh and shake his head, turning his head to look at Guo Chengkun and Cheng Shiqian.
"You came all the way here to find me, I'm afraid you're not here to talk." An Songci looked at the guy beside the bun.
"Yes, I am here to take your life." "This is Mr. Xiao An Rong, he specially came to take your life."
"I assume that you've also invited helpers. Then there's nothing to say. Let's just use our fists and legs and swords to decide who wins." The strange bun man said at the end.
"Uncle!" Bing Ruyun worriedly shouted.
An Songci, on the other hand, seemed to be used to the wind and rain, and could not shake them, and only bowed his head to the two warriors behind him: "Please make your move."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ann is just a male from a small island. It is not his turn to be arrogant in China!" Guo Chengkun said, then stood up and faced the Xiao An Rong opposite him, "Stand up, I am Guo Chengkun, remember the name of the person who defeated you."
Everyone retreated, the Xiao An Rong stood up, sheathed the blade on his knees into his belt, and nodded at Guo Chengkun: "I use a blade, please use a weapon too."
"No need, I, Guo Chengkun, have never used a weapon, a pair of fists can defeat you." Guo Chengkun said.
"Then let's begin." As Xiao An Rong spoke, he closed his eyes.
"Roar!"
Guo Chengkun bellowed, his arms moving like two giant pythons as he gathered all the strength in his body and smashed towards Xiao An Rong.
"Twin Dragon!" said, "This is Brother Guo's ultimate move, looks like he wants to finish this quickly."
"That island person is so bold, he still doesn't open his eyes even at this time. Brother Guo's Dual Dragon Goes to Sea, its might is unstoppable. Even a willow tree can be broken. This island person, even if he doesn't die, he will at least be injured!"
While speaking, Xiao An Rong tilted his head and crouched down. His left hand held the blade and his right hand held the hilt.
"It's too late. His saber is so long. At this distance, it's simply too late to pull it out!" Cheng Shiqian's eyes flashed as he said happily, "Brother Guo won!"
However, before he could finish his sentence, he heard the explosive sound of a knife being unsheathed. The entire hall was lit up in a flash of white light, causing everyone's vision to blur.
After a moment, the white light disappeared, and everyone's vision returned to normal. Xiao An Rong stood up straight, pressing the blade in his hand into the sheath on his side.
Guo Chengkun stood in front of him and extended his fist. He was less than an inch away from Xiao An Rong's nose, yet he did not take another step forward.
"Brother Guo!" Cheng Shiqian could not help but shout.
Guo Chengkun's body suddenly fell backwards, the clothes on his chest instantly ripped apart, causing blood to spurt out. It sprayed out in the air and landed on the ground like a cherry blossom.
Xiao An Rong nodded and retreated.
"Brother Guo!" Cheng Shiqian shouted and quickly knelt down, hugging Guo Chengkun and said.
A one-foot long wound appeared on Guo Chengkun's chest. Luckily, the wound was not deep, and the blood flow was scary, but it did not injure his internal organs.
"I'm not as good as him." Guo Chengkun looked at Cheng Shiqian, muttered to himself, and then weakly closed his eyes.
An Songci's body swayed, but he quickly stabilized and called for people to come in and carry Guo Chengkun away, but Guo Chengkun opened his eyes and shook his head, indicating that he did not want to go out, he wanted to stay in the hall.
He wanted to see the Xiao An Rong defeated.
Therefore, in the end, Guo Chengkun was carried to the wall and his chest was simply bandaged.
"Song-lang, it seems that the helpers you invited are not that good. They were unable to stop Mr. Xiao An Rong's blade." The old man with the bun laughed as he stared at An Songci.
An Songci endured it and did not make a sound.
"Teacher, you praise me too much. I only know how to use this knife." The Xiao An Rong bowed.
"This slash is enough." The geezer with the bun said, "Cherry Blossom Blade, the blade is bleeding profusely, gorgeous like a cherry blossom. You truly deserve your reputation."
An Songci turned his head to look at Cheng Shiqian and asked: "Is Mr. Cheng confident?"
Cheng Shiqian looked at Guo Chengkun who was behind him, then looked at Xiao An Rong, his face pale white, and shook his head: "Brother Guo and I are only halfway, if Brother Guo can't block one slash of his, I can't either."
"Besides, this island person's drawing the sword was too quick. I didn't even see clearly and I had no way of resisting. I'm afraid he …"
"He's already a Grandmaster!" Bing Ruyun continued, "He is Xiao An Rong, the youngest Grandmaster on the entire island. He cultivates the Ju He Slash, and only practices that instant of drawing the blade. The Cherry Blossom Blade is his famous move, it is even said that he broke the waterfall with one slash!"
"Grandmaster!" Cheng Shiqian sucked in a breath of cold air. He had only touched the edge of being a first-rate expert, so he naturally wasn't a match for a Grandmaster.
"What's wrong, Song-chiro? Is your fighter scared to death?" The geezer with the bun ridiculed him.
"Damn old man, you're the one who's scared!" Cheng Shiqian roared, "I, Cheng Shiqian, don't even know how to write the word 'afraid' in my entire life."
After Cheng Shiqian finished speaking, he glanced at An Songci and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ann, I am not his opponent, but I will still accept the challenge.
But An Songci only lowered his head, lowered his gaze, and did not pay attention to Cheng Shiqian's words.
Cheng Shiqian walked to the center of the hall, looked at Xiao An Rong and said: "Come up, island nation's brat, let me show you my Chinese martial arts."
Xiao An Rong walked up again, still in the same posture, his hand holding onto his blade, facing Cheng Shiqian from the side.
Cheng Shiqian said: "That blade of yours is very powerful, and I heard that you are also a Grandmaster. However, forgive me for my bluntness, but if you only know how to use that blade, then the Grandmasters of your island nation will not be as powerful as the Grandmasters of China."
Xiao An Rong frowned, obviously not agreeing enough.
"Your blade is indeed very fast, but in China, there are fast blades. Life and death are decided in an instant, and they might not be inferior to you. However, our swordsmen, other than fast swords, have other moves."
"I can see that every time you slash out, there will be a blank period of time. In my opinion, it is a huge flaw. In other words, as long as I block your slash, you will lose."
"This is your island nation's weakness, your island nation's history has always been learning from us, China's cultivation technique is also the same, but China is a vast land mass and its resources are divided into tens of thousands of people, all of you can only learn a few things, go back and cultivate to the peak, but in terms of source energy, you can only learn a tiny bit, it is difficult for you to understand the great Dao."
Xiao An Rong turned his head: "You won't be able to receive my blade."
Cheng Shiqian laughed loudly: "I haven't fought yet, how do you know that I can't hold on!"
"Watch my palm!"
Cheng Shiqian readied himself, and with a shout, his entire spine rose and fell like a dragon. With a stride, he instantly appeared in front of Xiao An Rong, and directly smacked his palm across.
This was not his strongest palm strike, but it was indeed his fastest.
Xiao An Rong was still the same, listening carefully and drawing his blade!
Cheng Shiqian, on the other hand, was a moment ahead of him. He changed the direction of the attack to defense, and with a turn of his hand, a palm flew over, as if he was about to slap his chest!
"Alright!" Guo Chengkun, who was behind him, saw this move and immediately roared out. The white cloth on his chest oozed blood and he did not care about it at all.
He used his bare hands to receive the white blade!
Xu Qingmo nodded his head, this Cheng Shiqian's thoughts were not bad, he knew that the Xiao An Rong's blade was fast, and did not think of attacking, but because it was not as fast as the others, his final goal was to use the Chinese essence martial arts, and receive the white blade empty-handed.
As long as he could catch Xiao An Rong's blade, his blade would be crippled, and reveal an opening.
However …
Xu Qingmo shook his head. After all, he was a Grandmaster, and the other one was only at the peak of the Second Rated Level.
The white light once again illuminated the entire hall, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Xiao An Rong was exactly the same as before, he quietly withdrew his blade, and in front of him, Cheng Shiqian clasped his hands together, and caught the blade with loneliness.
As for his chest, from top to bottom, his clothes were cut open and blood spurted out from his mouth like a cherry blossom falling from the sky.
He caught the white blade empty-handed and failed to catch it
"I've lost." Cheng Shiqian said, "I cannot receive your blade, but our Grandmaster can."
With that, Cheng Shiqian fell.
"You almost succeeded." Xiao An Rong stood up straight and said respectfully to Cheng Shiqian, "Just a little more."
"A loss is a loss, why can't I afford to!" Cheng Shiqian shouted as he was carried to Guo Chengkun's side.
In these two rounds, Xiao An Rong obtained complete victory.
An Songci's face was pale white, his head hung low in dejection.
"Songshiro, it seems your helper isn't strong enough. Now, you should just accept your death."
An Songci was naturally unreconciled. Looking left and right, when he saw Xu Qingmo, he instantly felt like a drowning man seeing his lifesaver. He reached out and grabbed Xu Qingmo's sleeve.
"You're also here to help, right? You're also an expert, right? Come help me quickly. If you win, I'll give you money. I'll give you a lot of money."
An Songci was excited, his expression changing unpredictably as his entire person became sinister.
Xu Qingmo frowned, flicked his sleeves and shook off An Songci.
Bing Ruyun stepped forward to support An Songci: "Uncle, I invited him, but he can't. He's not strong enough, I thought he would bring people over."
"Not powerful enough?" "Then I still have to give it a try. What if I win? If I don't, I won't be able to do it. If I don't, I'll die!" An Songci's voice changed.
"He really can't." Bing Ruyun's face was also filled with panic, but he did not hold any hope for Xu Qingmo.
"Songshiro, you have no other choice. Prepare to die."
"You can't kill me. I've paid a lot for the empire. It's not something you can imagine. You can't kill me!" An Songci shouted.
"Hmph. From the moment that you betrayed Lord Shimada, you must be prepared for it now."
"Please save me, save me!" An Songci turned and knelt in front of Xu Qingmo, begging him, before finally kowtowing.
He was really afraid of death, anxious and desperate, he did not care who Xu Qingmo was, he just wanted a miracle to happen.
Bing Ruyun didn't know what to do. Looking at Xu Qingmo, he shook his head, then turned and stood in front of Xiao An Rong.
"If you want to kill my uncle, then kill me first."
"Miss Yun Ling, you don't have to die. You are not Lord Island Tian's servant, but if you stop me from clearing the traitors for Lord Island Tian, Xiao An Rong's sabre will not stop until you shut your mouth." The old man said.
"Please move aside." The Xiao An Rong pressed down.
Bing Ruyun listened to her chest, and was determined to not let her go, but An Songci still tried his best to retreat, like a clown.
"I won't retreat!"
Bing Ruyun was about to speak, when she suddenly felt a person standing in front of him.
"I've said it, I promise you." Xu Qingmo's voice sounded.
