Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 368 Challenge in Front of the Temple
It was just one step, Yue Zhengye just took a step forward, but his whole body has undergone a great change. He was just an inconspicuous guard before, hiding in Ye Chen's figure, but now he is stepping out, but he is faint With some guru demeanor, there was no wind in the hall at this time, but Yue Zhengye's true energy flowed, causing his clothes to flutter slightly.

Ye Chen, under the cover of the table, sat on the ground in half, holding the small wine glass with two fingers, narrowing his eyes slightly, and paying attention to the expression of Lu Jiang, the deputy envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, from the corner of his eye.

Just now, he suddenly felt that the challenge in front of him might not be just an act of revenge by the ruler of Wuyue, it might also be a part of the Maitreya sect's conspiracy.He suddenly regretted that he didn't ask Hu Sanguang to find out whether the king of Wuyue's conspiracy was his own idea, or someone else's, such as Zuo Xiangwei Wei Xin's.It is also possible that the previous dancer told the Lord of Wuyue through the queen's mouth, wait!Maybe there are other unknown people hiding behind the scenes.

Before Ye Chen came to the banquet, he had made it very clear to Lian Jicheng, Bai Xiaomao and other six people that people from Wuyue Kingdom would challenge them at the banquet today, and pointed out the origin of the other party.The request he made to the six people was to try not to kill people while ensuring that they would not be hurt.

Jian looked expressionlessly at Yue Zhengye in front of him, and said, "Please!"

Deputy envoy Zhang Mingqing was extremely nervous at this time.I thought to myself that Yehou and the Lord of Wuyue were fine before, receiving and giving gifts again.Why is there such a fuss now?If one's own side wins, the Wuyue people will lose face, which is not good.If the opponent wins, the Great Song Dynasty will lose face, which is even worse!But after all, he is an official of the Song Dynasty. Over the past ten years, he has cultivated the arrogance that a big country should have.

Ye Chen turned his head and said to the Lord of Wuyue, "Master, please allow the weapons of the guards to be sent into the hall."

The Lord Wuyue looked at him with a smile and waved his hand.

The outside of the hall had known that there would be a martial arts competition in the main hall, and now the Lord of Wuyue also nodded, so the courtiers who had been eating in the side hall rushed to the entrance of the main hall, casting their eager eyes on the field.

Several young eunuchs brought the weapons used by Yue Zhengye and the other six from the corner gate of the palace.

Yue Zhengye held the handle of the long knife with both hands, and his mental state suddenly entered a very strange state. The previous power and pressure were no longer there, and there seemed to be only one knife left in the field. One knife per person, but in the eyes of bystanders, there is still only one knife.

But Jian Yi was not moved at all, even the expression on his face did not change at all.A faint but subtle sword intent appeared on Jian Yi's body, Ye Chen's expression froze for a moment, and he immediately looked down on Yue Zhengye.

However, he was not worried about Yue Zhengye's life, because he had repeatedly emphasized to Lian Jicheng and the other six people that once he found out that he was invincible, he would immediately admit defeat.In his opinion, it is stupid to fight to the death knowing that you are invincible.Lian Jicheng and others are now killers, not figures in the world, nor generals of the Song Dynasty.Even if he admits defeat, it may damage the face of Huaxia Weifu and Da Song, but what is it compared to his own life?The six people didn't have the slightest psychological burden on themselves when they voluntarily surrendered when they were defeated.

However, the development of things is destined not to go smoothly, and it will surprise everyone.

Yue Zhengye's expression had become extremely solemn, holding the long knife in both hands, and he turned a few inches to the right.

Jian Yi's sword is still not out of its sheath, but he is holding the hilt in his right hand, ready to draw the sword at any time.

Yue Zhengye seemed to be unable to bear this kind of confrontation between sword intent and sword intent. He slowly gathered his true energy and poured it into his wrist. He felt that his forearm had become one with the long sword. Only then did he raise the blade slightly.

He is a swordsman in Guanzhong, wandering the rivers and lakes since he was a child, traveled all over the country, even went to sea, and worked as a pirate.He has killed countless people, and his sword skills are summed up from the experience of killing people, so his knife skills are simple and practical, and they are the knife skills for killing people.

Therefore, although he only has the strength of a first-class master, he can still fight against a first-class master, but at this moment, he can't see any flaws in the silent swordsman opposite him, he can only feel To the indifference to the world.

Yue Zhengye had so much fighting experience, he knew that the longer the delay, the worse it would be for him, so he wanted to strike first.

The light of the knife blooms like snow!
With a bang, the sword was being unsheathed. Ye Chen noticed that Jianyi's sword was unsheathed in a strange way, as if it was very slow, as if it would never be unsheathed, but it seemed to be very fast, as if as long as the sword moved with one heart, the sword would be unsheathed. unsheathed.

"Gathering momentum, this is the legendary sword-drawing style that Bai Canghai once said." Ye Chen's eyes were as bright as stars, and he found that the grandmother of the Qian family could be called the Emperor of Swords, and she really mastered extremely advanced swordsmanship mystery.

At this moment, Ye Chen's confidence in Yue Zhengye's ability to win this challenge has dropped a lot.He even wondered if he should remind Yue Zhengye to admit defeat now.

The distance of more than ten feet, between the two masters, seemed to disappear in an instant, as if it did not exist!The next moment, the knife in Yue Zhengye's hand had already appeared in front of Jian Yi's throat, and Jian Yi's sword appeared in front of Yue Zhengye's heart at some point and with what trajectory.

Yue Zhengye's face changed slightly, because he found that Jian Yi's sword seemed to be slightly faster than him. If neither of them stopped or changed their moves, the most likely result would be that he died, the sword was wounded, or both of them died.

Yue Zhengye yelled loudly, and the long knife moved sideways fiercely, cutting towards the point where the sword had been piercing seven inches from the long sword.

Jian Yi's expression remained indifferent, the long sword swung and hung strangely upside down, not only avoiding Yue Zhengye's knife, but the tip of the sword pierced Yue Zhengye's abdomen strangely.

Yue Zhengye let out a cold snort, and the long sword stopped abruptly. This time, he didn't return to defense, and he directly raised his sword, intending to cut his belly open with the sword.Although Jian Yi took the lead this time, even if he stabbed hard, he would only hurt Yue Zhengye, but if Yue Zhengye's knife was solid, he could kill Jian Yi directly.

Therefore, Jian Yi suddenly turned back the sword, the tip of the sword lightly tapped the side of Yue Zhengye's long knife, and with a ding sound, Jian Yi's expression suddenly changed, Yue Zhengye's strange expression was filled with deep doubts.

He thought that his knife would definitely be deflected by Jian Yi's sword, so he didn't withdraw the knife, and he didn't dare to withdraw the knife, because Jian Yi threatened him too much just now.But Jian Yi's sword was weak when it hit his blade, and the blade even swayed slightly.The true energy in Jian Yi's sword suddenly dissipated.

Unfortunately, it was too late for Yue Zhengye's saber to stop at this time, so the long saber was lifted, and the sword was cut open.Died instantly.

The monarchs and ministers exclaimed, and some court ladies even exclaimed, but immediately covered their mouths tightly.Queen Su Manman's face was pale, and she felt like vomiting. Qian Hongchu, the leader of Wuyue Kingdom, looked ugly, but he was still calm, and eunuchs and maids were called to help the queen down.

Yue Zhengye's expression was in vain, and his expression was changing. Looking at the corpse on the ground, Ye Chen didn't stand up, but his expression was ugly.At that moment just now, others couldn't clearly see the changes in the expressions of Yue Zhengye and Jianyi, but how could he not see them with his eyesight.But he only knew that there was a problem, but he didn't know where the problem was for a while.Ye Chen couldn't see the problem, and of course the others present couldn't see the problem either.

"Come here, take the sword down, so that it can be collected and buried in a decent manner afterwards." Qian Hongchu, the lord of Wuyue Kingdom, took a deep breath and said.

Ye Chen watched Yue Zhengye walk back. After Jian Yi's body was lifted, another swordsman walked to the middle of the hall with a look of hatred on his face. He couldn't help but frowned and thought for a while, then said, "My lord, why don't today's challenges end here?" So as not to dirty the main hall of the king, and hurt the harmony between the two countries."

Before the Lord of Wuyue could speak, Wei Xin stood up suddenly and said angrily, "Yehou! Your people killed my Wuyue warriors and insulted my Wuyue kings and ministers in the hall, and now you say That's it."

The Lord of Wuyue hesitated for a moment, and said to the five swordsmen, "You have confidence."

The five swordsmen bowed in unison and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Jian Yi's death just now was an accident, and we will not let the accident happen again."

The Lord of Wuyue looked better and was about to speak, when a servant next to him stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, the Lord of Wuyue's eyes lit up immediately, thinking how he forgot about this matter, aunt taught Isn't the most powerful apprentice is the sword formation!
Lord Wuyue said to Ye Chen: "I think the challenge has just begun, so there is no need to stop." Apparently, the death of a sword slave was not on the mind of the high-ranking Lord Wuyue. He was worried about the remaining five challenges to himself Will the person lose.

Therefore, after a short pause, the Lord of Wuyue continued to say: "However, this challenge is too time-consuming. It is better for the five swordsmen on Gu's side and the remaining five guards behind Ye Hou to play together. Win or lose."

Ye Chen frowned slightly, thinking that it would be good to play together, anyway, he had already won a game just now, at worst, he would just admit defeat in the middle of the fight.

The sword formation formed by these five swordsmen is very mysterious, like a sword flower with five petals, it is seamless and invulnerable.With a wave of Lian Jicheng's hand, a thin needle shot away, covering the entire sword formation.This is just a trial, a very simple and small trial.

However, an extremely absurd or unbelievable scene happened.Suddenly there was a gap in the extremely mysterious sword formation, and the faces of the five swordsmen changed drastically. The swords in their hands seemed to be slowed down several times, and a small part of the needles did not block them, and they pierced five swords strangely. In the body of the famous swordsman.

Lian Jicheng is a killer, and he has been a killer since his debut in the arena more than 20 years ago.So his hidden weapons were all poisonous, especially before going to the south of the Yangtze River this time, the Poison Department of the Weapons Department of Huaxia Weifu provided him with a very powerful poison, and he smeared all of his hidden weapons with this poison.This kind of poison sees blood to seal the throat.

Therefore, the five swordsmen died, just so easily.
