Although the entire Tingliu Pavilion was full of spectators, there was silence.
Kou Zhong also fell silent.
The moment Shangguan Long struck the ground with his stick just now made him realize that he had made a serious mistake of underestimating the enemy.
His original inference was that Shangguan Long led a crowd to besiege Duan Yucheng that day, and the four of them could only capture one alive, so Duan Yucheng's martial arts skills were not too good to let Duan Yucheng break out and escape.
But Shangguan Long's demonstration just now showed that he is a master who is close to living up to that level.
But at this moment, when I met his eyes, I felt that his eyes were shining brightly, showing that he had practiced some kind of miraculous skill of the Demon Cult, and he was definitely not an ordinary person.
However, he was already riding a tiger and had to force Shangguan Long to reveal his magic power within ten moves. Otherwise, the prestige he had worked so hard to build would be lost tonight.
A thrilling feeling spread throughout his body, and he felt that under this terrible pressure, his energy and spirit were simultaneously raised to their peak state.
Shangguan Longji straightened his shoulders and stood up with his horizontal staff and shouted coldly: "Come over here and let me see what kind of arrogant person you are capable of."
Kou Zhong looked like an old monk who was in trance and turned a blind eye to Shangguan Long's power.
No one knew that his mind was entirely focused on the hundreds of goldfish of all kinds swimming around in the pond without knowing anything else about the world.
When he expels all distracting thoughts from his mind and enters the state of being centered, the entire environment is completely under his control.
This morning when he and Bian Fuli were facing the enemy, they had this strange realization of grasping the overall situation and viewing the entire battlefield as a chessboard.
But now it feels clearer.
What caught his attention the most was the carefree fish in the pond.
Every swipe of their tails, every swipe of their tails as they chased and played, or cruised alone, or lurked in the crevices of the rockery, made him understand them one by one.
This is a very strange feeling.
The human world and the fish world are two completely different worlds that coexist without interfering with each other.
But the two worlds are connected through Kou Zhong's heart.
The whole place was silent and breathing still.
Not only Shangguan Long, who was confronting Kou Zhong Sumo, but also everyone watching the battle had a strange feeling.
Kou Zhong seems to be integrated with the entire current environment and is a natural fit. However, the Shangguan Dragon Statue was forced into the garden and destroyed the harmony of the entire pond.
That's an indescribable subjective impression.
Shangguanlong moved his right foot forward and made a heavy sound.
Everyone was surprised that he would take the initiative.
Shangguan Long, however, knows his own suffering.
Because of the ten-move agreement, Shangguan Long started with the mindset of using defense as offense.
Unexpectedly, after the confrontation, Kou Zhong had no intention of taking action, but his momentum continued to build up.
The most horrifying thing was that Shangguanlong felt that the entire venue seemed to be growing continuously. Kou Zhong's momentum, which was integrated with the heaven and earth, made him unable to find any flaws.
And he felt that if he persisted like this, his momentum would soon be overshadowed by Kou Zhong's. At that time, he might not be able to force out the magic power within ten moves.
Therefore, although he takes the main attack, he is still passive.
Xu Ziling, who was in the wing above, breathed a sigh of relief and returned to sit down opposite Ba Fenghan and praised: I really want to win this one.
Ba Fenghan also expressed surprise and said: This boy is really amazing and admirable.
At this time, Shangguanlong was approaching the fish pond, only about three feet away from Kou Zhong, and boarded the bridge across the stream closest to the fish pond.
The stream flows slowly under the bridge.
Kou Zhong's right hand gently lifted the blade of Jing Zhongyue's sword and pointed it at Shangguan Long who was gradually approaching.
His feeling extended with the water poured from the fish pond and flowed under the bridge where Shangguanlong was.
Never before had he been so aware of the subtle relationships between objects and spaces in his environment.
Use people and swords to fight enemies.
Shangguan Long's biggest weakness is that he doesn't dare to use the Demon Exorcism Technique. As long as he can make him feel that victory or defeat can be determined by just three or two moves, and if he doesn't go all out, he will definitely become angry on the spot, then he will succeed.
Shangguan Long stepped off the bridge and reached the embankment on the other side of the fish pond, where it stood like a mountain and its face was as cold as ice.
The wiser bystanders all secretly expressed regret.
Because this situation is harmful to Kou Zhongshi.
Regardless of whether he is attacking or defending, he will be blocked by the pool. As long as Shangguan Long can make good use of the pool, there should be no problem even if his skills are weak and he can get around ten moves.
Under the firelight, the two of them faced each other across the pool with swords and sticks, concentrating their skills.
The garden is filled with murderous intent.
Both sides are invigorating while watching for openings in their opponents.
The two of them stared at each other with wide eyes, as if a blink of an eye would reveal a vulnerability for the other party to exploit.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Boom!
The sound of water continued.
Two fishes jumped out of the water one after another as they were chasing and playing.
Shangguan Long's clothes suddenly fluttered in the air, and his dragon-headed staff swung slowly, creating a stronger aura to resist the murderous intent emanating from Kou Zhong's blade.
All smart people know that Shangguan Long is at a disadvantage in the momentum competition, so he must use these actions to make up for his shortcomings.
But no one dared to be optimistic about Kou Zhong.
If this was a life-and-death fight that would not give up until one of the parties lost his life, then most people would believe that Kou Zhong was the final winner.
But the possibility that Kou Zhong would pour tea and admit his mistake in a ten-move agreement like today is almost ten to ten.
Kou Zhong still stood upright with his sword in hand, as steady as a mountain, and his eyes flashed with strange lights.
Shangguan Long finally couldn't hold back and shouted wildly, jumped up across the fish pond and struck Kou Zhong with his stick.
The fierce wind stirred up the middle of the pond, causing the water to sink in. The waves rolled up and the fish jumped in fright, disturbing the sacred and peaceful world in the pond.
A smile filled with great confidence appeared at the corner of Koo Zhong's mouth, and his whole body's true power was concentrated in the well and electric shots were fired out on the moon.
when!
When the swords and sticks touched, sparks flew out and a loud sound was heard.
Kou Zhong swayed and Shangguan Long was so shaken that he flew back to the other side of the fish pond.
Even though it was just a brief exchange, everyone felt passionate and dazzling.
I don't know who shouted: One move! It was still a woman's voice.
Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling, who were above, frowned at the same time and recognized Dugu Feng's voice.
She obviously wanted to see Kou Zhong lose his authority, so she said this to increase Kou Zhong's psychological pressure.
Shangguan Long fell back to the edge of the pool and immediately cast a shadow of his staff to prevent Kou Zhong from taking advantage of the situation to counterattack.
The shadow of the stick faded away.
Shangguan Long once again made a horizontal stick gesture. He couldn't move the dragon-headed stick that weighed more than a hundred kilograms like that, otherwise it would eventually tire him to death.
The water level in the pool has returned but the fish are still jumping out of the water.
Kou Zhong finally took action at the moment Shangguan Long's horizontal staff was lifted.
To everyone's surprise, he didn't charge diagonally like a Shangguan dragon but reached a high point above the pool and then volleyed down.
Instead, the soles of his feet pressed against the pond water and he rushed across it as if he were walking on flat ground. The moon in the well suddenly turned into yellow light and struck directly at the opponent.
The whole place immediately went into an uproar and lost their voice.
Things have physical properties.
Only by leaping in the air can one advance, attack, retreat or defend.
As long as Shangguan Long can hold on to the edge of the pool like Kou Zhong, the only thing that will happen is that Kou Zhong falls into the pool.
Shangguan Long knew that he was scheming, and although he knew that it was against the rules, at this tense moment, he had no time to think about success, gathered his arms, yelled loudly, and swung his staff to sweep Kou Zhong.
The strangest thing happened.
When Kou Zhong crossed the center of the fish pond, he suddenly bounced up in the air and not only avoided Shangguan Long's swing, but also hit Shangguan Long's head with all his strength.
Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan above were both dumbfounded and guessed that Kou Zhong had stepped on a leaping fish to use his strength to cause such an unexpected change.
Tingliu Pavilion immediately responded with thunderous voices, adding to Kou Zhong's power.
Shangguan Long swept the air with his staff and knew something was wrong.
When the knife wind comes, in order to save your life, why don't you use all your skills to deal with it?
He yelled wildly and raised his staff with both hands to force Kou Zhong's sword, which had been preparing for a long time, to break gold and crack stones.
boom!
When the swords and sticks touched each other, there was no difference from the dull and dull sound from the last time they clashed.
The spiral force is rolled into the dragon head staff and then forcefully attacks along the meridians of Shangguanlong's arms.
Shangguan Long dared to open his mouth and spit out a purple-black rain of blood. His arms, holding up the dragon-headed staff, immediately turned purple and black, which was very scary.
There were roars all around.
Although not many people have seen such evil martial arts, everyone can be sure that it is not an authentic martial art.
Kou Zhong was so shocked that he used his strength to roll over behind him and before his feet even touched the ground, he struck Shangguan Long with a backhand knife, whose eyes were full of purple light and thousands of stick shadows were dancing towards him.
Although there is no limit to ten moves now, Shangguan Long will definitely take the opportunity to escape as long as he dodges for a moment.
Success or failure depends on whether this sword can restrain Shangguan Long who is doing the demon-inducing skill.
His sword strike was carried out with the full momentum just now. It was so fierce that it covered a wide range and would not allow Shangguan Long to escape.
There was a choking sound as the sword passed by, and Shangguan Long was struck so hard that he almost fell into the pool and was in such a state of embarrassment.
Kou Zhong let out a long laugh and chased after him like a shadow.
Shangguanlong's old face turned from purple to black, and he was so horrifying that he hurriedly retreated around the pond.
The clashes of swords and sticks became more and more frequent, just like the frequent beating of bells and war drums, and the atmosphere was intense.
Both sides engaged in an extremely fierce close-quarters fight with fast strikes and fast movements.
Everyone around him stopped breathing. Those with inferior martial arts skills were even more dazzled.
Anyone with a bit of foresight would have known that Shangguan Long, who was armed with a long weapon, was forced to deal with Kou Zhong at close range and was at an absolute disadvantage.
Suddenly there was another sound, and the figures suddenly separated.
Clang!
Jing Zhongyue returned to the sheath.
Kou Zhongzhuo stood by the pool and stared at his stunned opponent.
Not a sound was heard in the audience.
The victory has been decided.
Plop!
The dragon-headed stick slipped from Shangguanlong's hands and fell into the pool.
The purple-black color of Shangguanlong's skin has completely faded away, and it has become pathologically pale.
After shaking for a while, Shangguanlong fell to his knees and gasped for breath.
Several figures rushed out from different places and rushed toward the two of them.
