Chapter 859 Before the decisive battle (2)(1/2)
Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are pure swordsmen.
The reason why the battle between the two parties was communicated through the air was that neither of them were very diligent people, so it was just a matter of convenience for Tianji Tower to communicate it on their behalf.
But the world is not as pure as they thought, and their Jinling sword fight is not just a matter between the two of them.
There are too many people in the world betting on this gamble.
Both Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are the most proud and top swordsmen in the world.
This gambling game can basically guarantee that there will be no behind-the-scenes operations, so it has become a gambling game that all the experts in the world participate in.
According to statistics from Tianji Tower, the current basic handicap for the bet between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue is as high as eight million taels of silver.
Coupled with the boost to Jinling’s restaurant industry and tourism industry, this is a proper version of the Great Zhou Olympics!
No, there is no handicap for the Olympics yet, the big weekly version of the World Cup.
There are many people like Liu Yidao. They have no way to influence the subjective consciousness of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue. They can only start from objective external conditions.
For example, attack Ye Gucheng or Ximen Chuixue to cause them to suffer losses or even be injured before the battle.
Although these two people are not magnanimous gentlemen, they are generally upright people. If they are really injured, neither of them will take advantage of others' danger and fight another day.
Therefore, if you want to influence two people, it is best to cause hidden injuries, or start from the state of mind. If you go too far, you may even have poisoned Ximen Chuixue.
But the person who poisoned it didn't know that underneath Ximen Chuixue's Wanmei Villa, there was a thousand-year medicinal spring that gathered the power of medicinal materials from the mountain and could cure hundreds of poisons.
Ximen Chuixue has been drinking the medicinal spring water all year round, and his poison resistance is close to full level, making him almost invulnerable to all poisons.
…
Liu Yidao wanted to start from the state of mind.
As long as you are a mortal, you will have distracting thoughts, delusions, and knots. Ye Gucheng's life experience will inevitably have an impact on him.
Once the heart of Ye Gucheng's sword is damaged, the flying rainbow in his palm will naturally disappear, making it difficult to be flawless.
What was originally a pure sword duel became a mess when it became related to the interests of the world.
Countless people are coerced by capital, trying to influence this duel in order to obtain high profits.
This was something Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng did not expect.

-----------------------------------------------
Jinling City, in a private garden next to the headquarters of the deposed envoy.
Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing lived here.
This is thanks to Huamanlou. It is now difficult to find a room in Jinling City, and all the inns are already crowded with people.
In addition to her four eyebrows, Lu Xiaofeng also has a nickname, "Lu Sandan".
It means, bastard, fool, pauper.
It is difficult for him to save silver. If he has one thousand taels in his hand, he can spend one thousand taels of money; if he has ten thousand taels of silver, he can spend one thousand taels of silver. Even if he only has one tael of silver, he can spend one thousand taels of silver.
Lu Xiaofeng's only fixed income is the silver taels from the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple in Dongxuan Realm can get 8,600 taels of silver from the offerings in a year.
This is definitely not considered low income. According to the purchasing power of one tael of silver, it is nearly 1,200 yuan.
In later generations, Lu Xiaofeng would be a high-income earner with an annual income of nearly 10 million, but he could still spend 8,000 taels of silver in one month.
Xue Bing is the descendant of Shenzhen Villa and she is rich.
But the current situation in Jinling City is that it is not possible to stay in an inn if you have money.
Fortunately, Lu Xiaofeng has a life-and-death acquaintance, Huamanlou.
The Hua family was once the largest land merchant in the Zhou Dynasty. It is said that if you ride a fast horse and gallop all day and night, you can still get out of the Hua family's land.
However, after the treasury theft in Yuezhou, the Hua family began to sort out their property.
At first, because the situation between North Korea and China was unclear, the Hua family did not completely take sides.
After Emperor Linde ascended the throne, the Hua family gambled heavily and handed over all the land to Emperor Linde.
This not only allowed Shisan to gain a firm foothold, but also solved the problem of a large amount of land in Jiangnan being annexed by powerful powers.
As the Hua family takes off, as long as they don't commit regicide, they will live with the country.
Although the Hua family's land was handed over except for ancestral property and sacrificial fields, his real estate is still among the best in the world.
For example, the Villa where Lu Xiaofeng and others live now is the property of the Hua family in Jinling.
Lu Xiaofeng, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes, her figure flashed, and she subconsciously turned over.
A ray of sword light pierced Lu Xiaofeng.
This sword is as simple as it is dangerous, with no complicated changes, just one stab, but this time it seems to be the most effective attack method.
The cold edge of the sword pointed directly at Lu Xiaofeng's throat.
Almost no one in the world can withstand the sharp edge of this sword. Even Lu Xiaofeng can't resist it, and he can't resist it at all.
His toes touched the ground and he started to shoot backwards.
But the light of the sword followed him like a shadow. No matter how fast Lu Xiaofeng's Phoenix Dance retreated, it was not as fast as the thrust of the sword. What's more, he had no way to retreat now, and there was a stone wall behind him.
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to hide, but the sword's momentum changed and the sword light pierced his chest like lightning. Even if he could dodge to both sides, it was useless.
The changes in his body skills will never be as fast as the changes in this sword.
A true master of martial arts will use every ounce of force he uses to get the most out of his attack, and will never waste half of his effort. What's more, this person is a master among masters.
This sword should have been a sure hit.
However, in this unforgettable moment, Lu Xiaofeng also took action. He suddenly stretched out two fingers and clamped the sword's edge. No one could describe the cleverness and speed of his two fingers. If it weren't for
People who saw it with their own eyes couldn't even believe it.
"Ximen Chuixue?! You are really idle! It's late at night, I don't sleep, and you come here and stab me with a sword!"
Lu Xiaofeng recognized the person who drew the sword at a glance.
There are swordsmen who can rival Ximen, but Ximen Chuixue's temperament and swordsmanship are unique.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But what Ximen Chuixue said next almost made Lu Xiaofeng's jaw drop.
"Just a joke!"
Although Ximen Chuixue's tone remained calm, Lu Xiaofeng could feel that he was no longer the ruthless sword god.
It was impossible for Ximen Chuixue to say such words originally.
"But this joke is not funny at all!" Lu Xiaofeng muttered quietly, then let go of the sword's edge, pointed harder, and lit the candle on the table.
Ximen Chuixue also put away his sword and sat down at the table.
"Ximen Chuixue, I found that after you got married, your whole person changed really a lot!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ximen Chuixue up and down for a long time before speaking slowly.
"What's changed?!" Ximen Chuixue's tone remained the same, but it became more popular.
"Well...becoming more like a person!"
"..." Ximen Chuixue put her hand on the hilt of the black sheath sword, "What do you mean, I am not a human being?!"
"Stop!" Lu Xiaofeng shouted stop without giving Ximen Chuixue a chance to draw his sword.
"Speak for yourself, if it were a different time, would you have such a reaction?!"
When Ximen Chuixue heard this, he was also stunned. It seemed that he had never listened carefully to Lu Xiaofeng's words before, let alone took them to heart, but now...
"Can getting married bring such a big change to people?!" Lu Xiaofeng was also curious, does Sun Xiuqing have such great magic power?! He can actually make a person like Ximen Chuixue, who doesn't care about the world, fall into the mortal world.
When Ximen Chuixue heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.
The sword god smiled and returned to the mortal world.
"You...you laughed?!" Lu Xiaofeng felt that she might not have woken up yet, so how could Ximen Chuixue laugh?!
Ever since he met Ximen Chuixue, this person never smiled.
"You are a widower, you won't understand." Ximen Chuixue is Ximen Chuixue, and his finishing blow is as sharp as his swordsmanship.
Lu Xiaofeng was wild and romantic, but he never got married, even at his age.
"Are you kidding me? I'm a widower?! Do you know that I have a reputation as a prodigal hero in the world of martial arts!?"
"No one will marry you."
"...Do you know that I have so many confidantes that I can't count them on two hands?!"
"No one will marry you!"
"...Do you know that there is a beautiful girl sleeping next door to me?"
"No one will marry you!"
…
Lu Xiaofeng felt like she was going crazy. Ximen Chuixue was not fun at all now.
