Hua Yuxi was like a happy bird, flying down from the stage, spreading her limbs, and hugging Lan Qiao tightly without caring about everyone's gaze.

"Husband, are you awesome?" Her beautiful eyes were full of hope and her smile was bright, as if she had written the words "please praise me quickly" on her face.

"Awesome, awesome." Lan Qiao put one hand around her waist and the other hand rubbed her hair, as if coaxing a child.

Hua Yuxi smiled with satisfaction, patted Lan Qiao on the shoulder, and asked him to put her down.

After standing firm on the ground, she took the opportunity to whisper: "We have won two games each now, but we came from behind, from falling behind to equalizing, which completely restored their morale. You can see how excited they are, even if they don't play the fifth game

, we should be able to fight them."

Listening to her tone, Lan Qiao knew that she still had no confidence in the final showdown between him and Liang Mengxing, so he thought of giving up in case of a fight, and muttered: "What? You don't believe me?"

"How dare I not believe in my husband?" Hua Yuxi said quietly, "It's just that Liang Mengxing has been in the world for more than forty years. Even though my husband is a newly promoted sword god, he is still infallible."

"I must fight this battle." Lan Qiao said solemnly, "We are the party that proposed a duel before the battle. Now that the outcome has not been decided and we want to stop the war, it will only make people laugh at me, the Jingnan Alliance, for having no spine."

"The demons of the White Lotus Sect are still there, and with the army at the foot of the mountain as Brother Hua said, if we can't defeat Liang Mengxing at this time, the situation will only be more unfavorable to us." Lan Qiao paused for a moment before continuing,

"Secondly, in the first four duels, it seems that both sides have two wins, but Master Murong and Master Ye were both seriously injured, which is equivalent to a reduction in combat strength, but Zuo Dao and Xiao Wuhen can still fight

…”

"Are you blaming me for not killing Sister Xiao?" Hua Yuxi interrupted him.

"No, I understand what you mean. You don't want to get into trouble with Chushui City and get out of hand." Lan Qiao sighed softly, "What I really care about is that if I don't go on stage, but avoid this confrontation with Liang Mengxing,

In one battle, this matter will become an obstacle that I can never overcome in my sword heart, and it will be difficult for me to make breakthroughs in my swordsmanship and martial arts from now on."

"Practice the sword first and retrain the heart." Lan Qiao raised his head slightly and looked at the riddled table, "If the heart is dull, the sword will also be dull."

"It's because I'm superficial." Hua Yuxi said in surprise, "In that case, I should wish my husband a victorious return."

"Husband, I will definitely defeat Liang Mengxing." Feng Yeling also walked over and held up Lan Qiao's left hand, her eyes filled with deep affection.

Hua Yuxi held up Lan Qiao's right hand and said, "Husband, you must remember that no matter what the outcome, we will always be there."

After saying that, she and Feng Yeling stood on tiptoe together and kissed Lan Qiao's left and right cheeks respectively.

Lan Qiao was moved in his heart, nodded slowly, and climbed onto the alliance platform amidst the cheers of the heroes that resounded from the top of the mountain.

The "Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation" left by Hua Yuxi was still on the stage. Lan Qiao looked at the scattered and messy holes, and suddenly realized that what Hua Yuxi just said to him was not actually to persuade him to give up the decisive battle with Liang Mengxing.

.

On the contrary, Hua Yuxi was strengthening her determination for this battle.

She retreated in order to let Lan Qiao figure out for himself that the decisive battle between him and Liang Mengxing was not to avenge the latter's assassination on their wedding night, nor was it to avenge Ye Wen and Murong Ying, let alone Jing Nan.

The battle between the Alliance and the White Lotus Sect.

At this moment, all outsiders and external objects no longer matter.

This battle in Lanqiao is for his sword heart.

He has been practicing martial arts for so many years, and now he is finally going to face the best master in the world. At this time, if he is worried about gains and losses and cannot put aside all the disturbances in the outside world, it is really no different from committing suicide.

And just like his Sword of Dawn, he never backs down on the path he takes. Once his sword heart cannot be firm, and Liang Meng wakes up to defeat him, he will have lost to himself first.

No matter how dark the night is, he will eventually pierce it and let the light return to the world.

He had saved Hua Yuxi from the darkness, now, it was his turn.

This is what Hua Yuxi really wants to say.

The Qimen Bagua Formation on this stage is actually not only used to deal with Xiao Wuhen. Hua Yuxi had already been cured, and it was reserved for him, Lan Qiao.

Because Lan Qiao's Wanghaichao Sword Technique also evolved from the Bagua Formation.

Since she had already laid the groundwork for herself, how could she persuade herself to give up?

And the last words she just said, "No matter what the outcome is, we will always be there."

Lan Qiao knew the implication of this sentence. On the one hand, it eliminated all worries, and on the other hand, it also allowed him to raise his fighting spirit to the extreme and try his best to survive until the end.

This is an ultimate showdown with no winner or lose, only life and death.

Liang Mengxing flew onto the stage.

He was dressed in a gray robe, with his hands behind his back. His face was as calm as if the previous four duels had never happened. He only looked at Lan Qiao lightly, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He had the unique arrogance of a master.

and self-confidence, he will never make you feel that he is domineering, but will give you a sense of transparency that "this is how a person should live to the extreme".

A biting mountain wind blew in, and the flagpoles at the four corners of the Alliance Platform swayed slightly in the wind, making a harsh noise.

Liang Mengxing's gray robe was blown by the wind, revealing the black warrior uniform underneath.

The two of them were facing each other, Liang Mengxing was standing due east, and Lan Qiao was standing due west. Their eyes met, and their swords were facing each other tit for tat before they were even taken off their sheaths.

Liang Mengxing spoke for the first time after taking the stage, saying: "Exterminate Japanese pirates and wipe out Tatars. You are worthy of being Lan Ruohai's son. I respect you as a man. I will try my best to give you a good time today, and I will bury you well afterwards. There is a good relationship between you and me."

There is no personal grudge, it's just a pity that you blocked my way."

There were no emotional ups and downs in the tone of his words, but there was a kind of humility that seemed to come from the heart, giving people the illusion that what he said was a perfectly natural fact.

Lan Qiao knew that this was Liang Mengxing's verbal offensive. The purpose was to let himself be infected by his words. Deep down, he believed that he could not defeat the opponent, so he would be timid in the next battle.

But thinking about the same thing in reverse, Liang Mengxing might have chosen to say these words to disturb his mind instead of taking action directly because he was not completely sure of defeating him.

Thinking of this, Lan Qiao became more confident and said with a faint smile: "I would like to advise the leader, step back now, it's still too late."

The meaning of this sentence is very clear. Once the fighting begins, there may be no chance of escaping unscathed.
