Chapter Seventy-Four: Liu Ting's fate hangs by a thread
The strategist, who was standing in the rear, said to Tana:
"I didn't expect Princess Fluttershy's swordsmanship to be so superb, and it seems that Agoura has indeed brought us three saviors this time!"
"Yes, it turns out that Chaolu, the magical horse trainer of our prairie, is not only an excellent horse trainer, but also a very good general! The strength of the troops is still these troops, but after his deployment of such a row of troops, the combat effectiveness has increased several times. Princess Fluttershy and Liu Tingfeng are both rare and peerless masters of our time, and their martial arts are much higher than those of our Qiyan tribe, Agula, the number one master, and this crisis may really have been resolved. β
Tana replied with anticipation.
"I just don't know what kind of master the other party will send out in this third game, can Liu Tingfeng handle it?"
The military advisor still said with some concern.
"The victory or defeat in the third game is crucial, the opponent will definitely send more powerful masters, and we can only pin our hopes on Liu Tingfeng alone. Thankfully, Princess Fluttershy insisted on winning two battles in three battles, and if we fought again, we would have no one to send, and none of the remaining masters would be of their level. β
Tana analyzed.
"If there is any mistake in the third game, do we really want to fall to them?"
The military advisor asked worriedly.
"If we do fail, we don't have any other choice, but since Princess Fluttershy has agreed to such a contest, she must be sure that she will win. What we need to be prepared for is not to let our guard down, and if the other side fails to keep their promises, we will not be caught off guard. β
Tana said cautiously.
"You see Chaolu supervising the army there, how can there be any relaxation? I guess if Liu Tingfeng made any mistakes, he would be the first person to order the rescue. β
The military advisor said with a smile on his face.
While the two were talking, one of them had already mounted a horse and stood at the front of the line.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a gentle old Confucian student, who looked to be around fifty years old, with a long sword on his back, only to see him face Liu Tingfeng who came forward, and said with a smile on his face:
"This third game will be played by the old man, I hope the little brother will give me a lot of advice."
It doesn't look like it's like a battlefield of life and death, but like brothers and sisters in the same sect fighting each other.
Liu Tingfeng was not very good at dealing with such a scene, and he looked a little at a loss, and the Changfeng Sword that was already in his hand didn't know where to put it for a while. Seeing the other party smiling with a fist salute, he actually put his sword back into the scabbard behind his back as soon as he returned his hand.
He was ready to clench his hands into fists and then return the salute.
"Tingfeng be careful!"
Seeing this scene, Mu Qianmei immediately reminded anxiously and loudly.
But it was still too late, and when Liu Tingfeng inserted the sword back into the scabbard and was about to clasp his fists and salute, the elegant old man, who had already withdrawn his hand, immediately pulled out the long sword behind him with lightning speed, jumped out of the horse, danced the sword shadow in the sky, and attacked the unprepared Liu Tingfeng.
Fortunately, at the moment when Mu Qianmei reminded her, Liu Tingfeng also seemed to be alert, and instinctively flew back and jumped, and finally dodged this earth-shattering sword at that critical moment.
A cold sweat broke out on his body.
At the moment when he was about to be enveloped by the shadow of the sword, he felt that death was so close to him.
If he was half a beat slower, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Even if you can rely on instinct to avoid the vital point, serious injuries are unimaginable, this elegant old man's swordsmanship, I don't know how many times stronger than the black-bearded man just now, if you are stabbed as soon as you come up, the consequences are also very serious.
How could a badly injured body escape his serial attacks?
Fortunately, there is Mu Qian
Mei's timely reminder, coupled with his long-term practice of martial arts, made him have incomparable trust and understanding of Mu Qianmei, and almost without hesitation, he reacted to retreat quickly, and finally dodged this lightning-fast sword.
Everyone in the Qiyan tribe was also stunned by this sudden change.
There are such vicious people in the world.
The gentle and elegant image makes people feel as warm as a spring breeze when they laugh.
However, he changed in an instant, and before the smile receded, he unexpectedly resorted to a peerless killing move, wanting to kill people.
Terrible.
It's horrible!
What's more, his opponent is just an innocent teenager, and he doesn't have the slightest pity.
Resolute, vicious.
Many people, like Liu Tingfeng, broke out in a cold sweat.
The frightened military advisor shook his head and sighed:
"I didn't expect that Situ Chang's smiling junior brother and smiling scholar would actually come on the stage in person. Legend has it that this smiling scholar 'hides a sword in his smile, and he can't prevent it.' Sure enough, it is worthy of its name. He is a first-class master in the older generation, and now he has taken the lead, the situation of the little brother Tingfeng is indeed worrying! β
"Oh? He's the hypocrite of the smiling scholar? It's really deceptive! Not to mention Liu Tingfeng, a simple-minded little boy, even people like us are difficult to see, is there any way to break the siege now? I don't want any accidents with such a wonderful child! β
Tana also said with regret and worry.
"Now we are no one to save, and we can't be saved, their martial arts are no longer among the ranks of ordinary masters on the rivers and lakes, ordinary people can't intervene at all, and if they join rashly, it will distract the little brother Tingfeng, and it will be more dangerous. Now it's up to him to see if there's anything Princess Fluttershy can do to help him out. β
The military advisor analyzed truthfully.
When they spoke, they saw that after the elegant old man seized the opportunity with one move, he launched a stormy attack with one sword after another, one sword faster than the other, firmly grasping the initiative in his own hands, and never giving Liu Tingfeng a chance to breathe.
Liu Tingfeng was forced to retreat again and again, hurriedly dodging the opponent's attack, several times the situation was critical, he actually subconsciously performed Mu Qianmei's butterfly dance steps, only to avoid in the dangerous moment.
He didn't even get a chance to reach out and draw his sword.
The netherworld sword technique used by the other party is gloomy, the sword technique is fast, tricky and extremely vicious, and the moves are all stabbed at the key point of Liu Tingfeng, and at first glance it is a kind of fighting style that wants to put the other party to death.
Fortunately, in the long-term training with Mu Qianmei, Liu Tingfeng is also very familiar with the steps of the butterfly dance, and this light and agile pace is indeed very useful when encountering strong opponents. Unlike the pace of the wind, it is made with the sword technique of the wind, because Ye Suifeng has never met an opponent since his debut, especially after creating the sword technique of the wind, this kind of attack-based pace does not play a role in the passive situation.
At this time, the Changfeng Sword has not been drawn, and the sword technique with the wind cannot be used, so the pace with the wind is naturally not of much use.
Liu Tingfeng was on the open grassland, and was forced by the other party to have neither the ability to parry nor the power to fight back, so he could only rely on his exquisite butterfly dance steps, plus some instinctive body skills that he had practiced in the actual combat of swordsmanship with the wind, and kept dodging and dodging.
The situation is becoming more and more critical.
Mu Qianmei's eyes were staring at the two figures that were getting faster and faster, she could still see the figures of the two of them attacking and defending, and the others only saw the two afterimages rotating rapidly on the field, and among the thousands of sword shadows, Liu Tingfeng's clothes were cut off a lot of pieces, and they flew with the wind in the sword shadows.
Many people were worried about Liu Tingfeng's situation, their hearts were in their throats, and they were so nervous that their foreheads were soaked with fine beads of sweat, but they couldn't help it.
Nervous.
Lose sleep over something.
But there is nothing they can do.
Some can't even bear to look at it anymore.
Instead, he looked at Mu Qianmei, hoping that she could find a way to resolve Liu Tingfeng's critical situation.
I saw that Mu Qianmei still had a calm expression on her face, staring at the two people on the battlefield with a thoughtful look.
In fact, Mu Qianmei's heart is not as calm as it seems, she is more nervous and worried than anyone else.
Victory or defeat is still secondary, Liu Tingfeng and her have been together for three years, practicing swords together and growing together.
This relationship is not comparable to others.
Her eyes were watching, her brain was racing, and she was thinking hard about what to do.
She knew that in such a situation, it was useless to join herself, the battle circle was firmly controlled by the elegant old man, and her martial arts were quite far behind him.
Joining rashly, his life is not guaranteed, and it will not help, but it will mess up Liu Tingfeng's mind and accelerate his failure.
When Mu Qianmei was thinking hard about a good plan, Liu Tingfeng's situation was becoming more and more critical.
Fortunately, he is simple-minded and profound, almost in a state of self-forgetfulness, instinctively dodging.
The situation is dangerous.
I saw that the white shirt on Liu Tingfeng's body had turned into pieces of rags in the layers of sword shadows, and his body was also covered with sword wounds.
Bright red blood covered his body, and from a distance, he changed from a graceful young man in white shirts to a bright red figure.
The Long Wind Sword was still firmly behind him, and he was never able to free his hand to draw it.
Attack too fast.
And it's getting faster.
The Netherworld Sword Technique is cast like a storm, a sword is as fast as a sword, and the sword is a posture that wants to put the opponent to death.
Liu Tingfeng, who has no sword in his hand, can't show his own expertise at all.
can only passively dodge, looking embarrassed.
Fortunately, the combination of butterfly dance steps and the wind body method allows him to avoid it in critical moments.
Although the sword wounds on his body were staggered and bleeding, fortunately, the wounds were not deep, and it did not affect the speed of his body and pace.
But how long can he hold out?
"Am I going to die like this?"
Liu Tingfeng thought unwillingly.
He suddenly felt very aggrieved, depressed, unwilling, and hated this elegant old man, and at the same time understood how naΓ―ve and ridiculous his innocence and simplicity were in such rivers and lakes.
"I still have a lot of things to do, if I die like this, the eldest brother will be very sad, the senior sister will be very sad, and the master will be even more sad, is it that I die like this, how can I be worthy of the master's teaching for so many years? I'm a disciple of the Sword Saint! Is it that he is going to die without even having a chance to draw his sword? β
While instinctively dodging, his brain was still flashing one thought after another.
"It turns out that death is so simple, as long as I am a little careless, life and death are just a line between life and death, and now, I don't even have time to draw my sword!"
Liu Tingfeng, who was on the verge of death, was so full of thoughts.
How can this crisis be resolved?
Liu Tingfeng was thinking.
Mu Qianmei was thinking.
Tana, Junshi, and Chaolu were also thinking.
The people of the Qiyan tribe are all thinking with a hanging heart.
Because this battle is not only related to the life and safety of Liu Tingfeng, but also related to the fate and future of everyone present in the Qiyan tribe.
