Chen Youniao practiced Taoism, painted talismans, and practiced martial arts and swordsmanship. Along the way, he had a lot of actual combat. But now, it was the first time that he faced a swordsman like Qin Dujiang in a duel.

It was already dusk, and there were no stars or moon in sight. Shops on both sides of the street lit up lanterns one after another, shining a bright light.

The winter wind was biting and whining, bringing with it the aura of Xiao Sha.

There was a huge crowd, hundreds of people, almost filling the nearby seats. Everyone looked excited and looked forward to it.

One side is a mysterious young swordsman, and the other side is a long-established swordsman. This duel is full of topic and attraction, and will definitely become a topic of conversation in the future.

Watching the game, there are naturally various comments and sides. Most people are optimistic about Qin Dujiang. Not only because Qin Dujiang is a "people in the town", but also because he has been in the world for many years and his brilliant achievements are real.

Yes, countless masters have been defeated by his sword.

And what about Chen Youniao?

Everyone also knows that he just killed Shi Tianhu with one sword.

Shi Tianhu is a quasi-first-class warrior, not on the same level as Qin Dujiang. A master's attack often determines the outcome in an instant, so there is not much difference between killing with one sword and killing with two swords.

According to the intelligence from the spies, Shi Tianhu obviously exaggerated at that time, so much so that a flaw was exposed.

Opposite the inn is a restaurant, in a private room on the second floor, where two men are having a drink.

These two people looked ordinary in clothes and faces, but their whole bodies gave off an inexplicable "keep away from strangers" aura. The waiter who came to serve wine and food was glanced at by the other party, and his two sides suddenly trembled.

, he was almost scared to the point of peeing.

"Boy, what happened outside? Is it noisy?"

The waiter in the shop hurriedly replied: "Reporting to you two gentlemen, I heard that Tan, a swordsman, crossed the river to compete with others... Sir, the wine and food have been served. Please use it slowly."

"Okay, you go down."

One of the men waved his hand, and the waiter ran away as if he had been granted amnesty.

Another man drank a glass of wine: "Sword Chi Tan Crossing the River? You have such a great reputation, but you don't know how capable you are?"

"Lao Liu, since it's the right time, why don't we open the window to watch the battle and see the real chapter?"

"good."

The two of them opened the window and looked down, seeing Qin Dujiang and Chen Youniao standing on the street.

"Lao Wu, just watching the battle is boring. Why don't you make a bet?"

"How to gamble?"

"Let's each pick one and bet on who wins and who loses. As for the bet, it's a hundred-refined blood essence."

"Okay! But who picks first?"

The old man said playfully: "I'll let you go first."

Lao Wu chuckled: "If that's the case, I won't be polite."

As he spoke, his eyes stared, and his pupils suddenly changed, becoming green, and they did not look like human eyes at all.

After a moment, he averted his eyes and said with some confusion: "That young man looks ordinary, how did he become the opponent of Sword Chi?"

Lao Liu said: "What do you mean, you chose Sword Fool?"

"It's obvious."

Lao Wu said: "For such a bet, you are specifically sending blood to me."

Lao Liu said: "The war hasn't started yet, and the outcome is undecided."

…

Downstairs, on the street.

Chen Youniao and Qin stood across the river, more than ten feet apart.

At this moment, Chen Youniao saw clearly the sword held in Qin Dujiang's arms. It was indeed a big sword, more than four feet long. The scabbard was extremely gorgeous, inlaid with gold and jade, and the brilliance was shining. On the hilt, inlaid with

A red gemstone makes it more luxurious.

A man in simple clothes holding such a precious sword created a strong contrast.

In contrast, the sword in Chen Youniao's hand did not even have a scabbard - the magic sword Duanshui was left in the inn room.

"Did you see it? What the sword idiot is holding is the world-famous Chunxiao Sword. It is one of the top ten famous swords in the world, ranking fifth and extremely valuable."

"What a peerless sword. For this sword, several top-notch swordsmen came to challenge Sword Chi, but they all died under the Chunxiao Sword."

There were discussions on the street, and the eyes looking at Chunxiao Sword were full of hot envy.

Qin Dujiang stood there, his body as straight as a javelin. He was still gathering momentum and said, "You haven't asked for advice?"

Chen Youniao smiled: "Why teach? If I lose, I will be a nobody; if I win, you will hear my name."

Qin Dujiang narrowed his eyes: "It's interesting, it's true. Qin was originally thinking that the Chunxiao sword would not kill an unknown person."

Chen Youniao suddenly spread his hands: "In that case, how about you leave and I go back to the room to sleep?"

Qin Dujiang: "..."

I feel like the momentum I had built up with so much effort along the way has become a bit deflated step by step.

This is a life and death battle between swordsmen, it’s so unserious!

The crowd watching the battle was in an uproar, and they immediately thought whether Chen Youniao was timid, frightened, and wanted to retreat before the battle.

But the atmosphere has already reached this point, how can we avoid it?

Xiao Cheng and the others didn't think that Chen Youniao would be afraid, but they didn't expect that their husband had such a witty side, which made the atmosphere lively and dispersed the tense atmosphere.

Qin Dujiang looked solemn: "Please draw your sword."

Chen Youniao murmured: "I have never had a sword duel with anyone in such a serious way. How about you come first?"

Qin Dujiang's face twitched, and he couldn't hold it in any longer. He held the hilt of the sword with his left hand and pulled the sword out of its sheath. A cold front illuminated the street here like a blue spring.

It is indeed a good sword!

The sword's light was like lightning, and it instantly enveloped Chen Youniao, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

Chen Youniao stood like a pine tree, standing still, his mind instantly passed through the opponent's sword light.

The sword moves as your heart moves, and the sword comes out!

…

In front of Sanchuan Xingtang, a group of high-level core figures of the organization are still here, waiting for news to be reported.

They didn't go to the scene or watch the fight, not just to show off, but also to avoid suspicion and leave room for leeway.

The old man in the outfit seemed a little uneasy, and the fine tea in his mouth felt bland and tasteless.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and the person who came in afterwards was indeed the shrewd subordinate sent out to watch the battle. He ran in a hurry and breathed heavily when he spoke: "The outfit...ahem!"

The old man suddenly asked: "What's the result?"

The subordinate took a breath and said: "We are defeated, Protector Qin is defeated, with one sword!"

"What?"

The whole hall was shocked.

They all knew that Qin Dujiang's swordsmanship was definitely one of the best in the entire Sanchuan Town, so most of them had confidence in him. They never expected that he would be defeated so completely.

The old man suddenly remembered something and asked again: "He was defeated. Is he dead?"

The duel between masters, especially the duel between swordsmen, is basically an indomitable and difficult to hold back. It is not only a matter of victory or defeat, but also life and death.

"Not dead, but seriously injured and coughing up blood."

The old man fell back on his seat, looking dazed.

The person below said anxiously: "Looking at the outfit, that young swordsman must have a great background. We must not offend such a person. We must make a decision quickly."

The old man came back to his senses: "Yes, from now on, Tan Dujiang is no longer a Sanchuan traveler."

I was driven out with a bit of reluctance in my heart. Qin Dujiang was a first-rate swordsman and a rare talent. It took a lot of effort to bring him in.

But then I thought about it, Qin Dujiang was defeated, he was seriously injured, and it was hard to say whether he could use the sword again. This man was dull and temperamental, and he made many enemies in the town. The enemies knew that he had been defeated and suffered.

Seriously injured and without the protection of Sanchuanxing, would you let go of such a good opportunity?

By the way, there is also the Pure Sky Sword...

The crime of carrying a jade!
