Chapter 411 This is... My opponent?
Chapter 411 This is... My opponent?
"Hu..." San Yueqi exhaled lightly, his face turning a little pale.
She looked down again, and the distant ground made her feel uneasy.
The Jingfeng ship was so tall...she didn't dare to look down.
San Yueqi shrank her neck, as if this could give her some sense of security, then she took her hands off the railing and took a few steps back, as if being farther away from the dangerous height would alleviate her fear.
"Miss March, are you afraid of heights?" Huai Yan said as he walked in front of her with his hands behind his back.
"Well... a little bit." Sanyueqi smiled embarrassedly, "I always feel uneasy in such a high place." There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, and her hands were unconsciously twisted together.
Huai Yan stopped and turned to look at San Yue Qi, "Don't be afraid, the Jingfeng ship is very safe."
"Besides, you can see the beautiful scenery of the whole Luofu from here."
Although San Yueqi was still a little scared, she had to admit that the scenery of Luofu from here was indeed amazing.
...
On the Jingfeng ship, the atmosphere of impending storm made San Yueqi restless. She was still a little scared to replace Yan Qing to defend the stage.
I have only learned swordsmanship for over a week, can I already go on stage to defend the ring?
Yunli inspected every part of the Jingfeng ship before the competition began to ensure it was safe.
She came to the contestants' lounge to visit March Seven, who was becoming increasingly nervous as he waited alone.
Yunli comforted her not to worry about the mission, as she would be there to help her.
Yun Li also guided March Seven to think about the reason for boarding the Jingfeng ship. March Seven expressed the hope that the martial arts ceremony could be held smoothly, because he met his master here and wanted to contribute to everyone.
"If you think so, why are you anxious?"
"Okay, I'll give you my favorite candied haws, and make you happier." Yun Li said, and then took out a candied haws from the bag in her hand.
San Yueqi looked at the candied haws in Yun Li's hand.
After hesitating for a moment, she took the candied haws and took a light bite. The sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth, making her feel a little more relaxed.
"Yunli, thank you."
Yun Li smiled slightly, "You're welcome. Also, don't be too nervous. Just treat this defense as an opportunity to train. You have to believe in yourself. You can do it."
Soon, the martial arts ceremony was about to begin, and the system broadcast sounded, urging all contestants to enter the arena and take their positions.
"It's your turn."
"The contestants are being announced now. You need to defend the ring now."
San Yueqi took a deep breath, stood up, and held the bamboo stick for the candied haws tightly in her hand. She looked at Yun Li with determination in her eyes.
"Master, I'm ready."
"Come on, March, believe in yourself, you can do it."
March 7th walked towards the stadium with firm steps.
Along the way, her mind kept emerging with every detail of her swordsmanship learning, as well as the expectations of her master and Master Yan. She must not let them down.
The moment she stepped into the arena, she was overwhelmed by the noise.
The cheers and shouts from the audience mixed together, making her heart beat faster involuntarily. She tried to stay calm and scanned her surroundings.
On the defensive stage, the sunlight shines on it, reflecting a dazzling light.
San Yueqi walked up to the ring step by step, feeling the solid ground under his feet, and the tension in his heart was gradually replaced by a sense of mission.
She stood in the center of the ring, waiting for her opponent to arrive.
At this moment, she is no longer the timid San Yueqi, but a brave one. She will go all out for the smooth holding of the martial arts ceremony and for the future of Luofu.
Just as she was thinking this.
Suddenly, an explosion was heard not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a huge wolf-headed monster appeared on the stage.
San Yueqi's heart suddenly tightened. Facing this sudden huge wolf-headed monster, she felt unprecedented pressure.
The resentment and murderous aura emanating from the monster seemed to be able to engulf a person in an instant, causing her to tremble involuntarily.
"This...is this my...opponent?" San Yue Qi looked at him with a tremor in his voice.
Her eyes fell on the monster's sharp claws, then she looked down at the two swords in her hands, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart.
She subconsciously took a step back, her mind in a mess.
"Where is Jingliu!" the monster shouted, and his voice echoed in the ring like thunder.
San Yueqi's ears were buzzing from the roar. She tried to calm herself down, but the fear in her heart was hard to dispel.
She gripped her swords tightly, trying to give herself some courage.
Miss Jingliu..? Why did this monster want her?
San Yue Qi summoned up his courage and said, "This is the arena for the martial arts ceremony, not a place for you to act wildly."
When the monster heard what March Seven said, his eyes became even more ferocious.
“You are not Jingliu, get out of here right now, or you will never leave here alive!” As he said that, he suddenly pounced towards March Seven and raised his big hand as if he wanted to knock March Seven off the ring.
San Yueqi quickly dodged to the side, and the monster's claws brushed past her body, creating a gust of wind.
Her heartbeat quickened rapidly and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
At this moment, a powerful breath suddenly came from the distant sky.
San Yueqi looked up and saw a figure rushing towards the ring like lightning.
The figure had hair as white as snow, his eyes were wrapped in black cloth, and the long sword in his hand emitted a sharp cold light. It was Jing Liu.
Jing Liuluo stood on the ring and looked at him coldly, "Hu Lei, your opponent is me." Her voice was cold.
"Miss Jingliu..." Sanyueqi wanted to say something but was pushed away by Jingliu.
Hu Lei looked at Jing Liu, the anger in his eyes became even stronger, "Jing Liu, you finally showed up! Today I will cut you into pieces!"
"Hu Lei, your hatred will only lead you to destruction. Let it go, for the sake of the Immortal Boat and for yourself."
"lay down?"
"I have emerged from the darkness onto the stage. If I let it go now, who can let me go?"
"Take this opportunity to take revenge! What if the race is ruined?!"
"But, I will save the fallen race in my own way and bring it back to glory!"
"So, I will win this battle!"
Hu Lei didn't listen to Jing Liu's words at all. He roared and rushed towards Jing Liu, waving his sharp claws at her with powerful force.
Jingliu dodged sideways and cleverly avoided Hu Lei's attack.
She swung her sword with great force, stabbing at Hu Lei's vital points.
Jingliu and Hu Lei are equally powerful and it is difficult to tell who is better.
But Jingliu remained calm and rational, looking for Hu Lei's flaws.
After a fierce collision, Hu Lei revealed a brief flaw.
Jingliu seized the opportunity without hesitation and stabbed Hu Lei's chest with his sword like a meteor.
Hu Lei opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.
He never expected that Jingliu could seize his weakness so keenly and deal him such a fatal blow.
The moment the long sword pierced his chest, Hu Lei felt a piercing coldness instantly spread throughout his body.
Immediately afterwards, the injured wound was frozen, and the coldness seemed to solidify his blood.
The next moment, the frozen position exploded instantly. The powerful impact force caused Hu Lei's body to shake violently. He staggered back a few steps and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Hu Lei covered his chest and gasped.
When his hands left his chest, his wounds unexpectedly healed perfectly!
"I was careless just now, Jingliu, now you can't hurt me at all!" He roared again and pounced on Jingliu.
