One hundred and thirty-eighth chapter life and death
One day later, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it was written on the almanac that it was appropriate to offer sacrifices, move the coffin, and bury the body, but it was forbidden to do so.
Everything is so unlucky today, and there are no taboos.
It seems that today is a good day for people to die, and people will indeed die today.
Zhao is cleaning his sword, both swords need to be wiped. The blade of the Yiming Sword is cyan, and the blade of the Tiger Roar Sword is copper. You can feel the coldness on the sword through the rag. Both swords have to be wiped.
Both swords have killed people, and there is murderous intent on both swords. Zhao Zheng is a very easy-going and kind-hearted person, but when he gets violent, he also has murderous intent on him, even more murderous than the murderous intent on the two swords.
If there were babies nearby, they would definitely be frightened into tears by the murderous aura emanating from Zhao Zheng. If there were wild beasts nearby, they would also stay away.
Zhao Zheng doesn't like killing people, but some people really deserve to die.
If no one had to die, there would be no death penalty in the world.
Killing is not a happy thing, no matter who the person is killing, no matter how deserving the person is.
The air in the morning is so fresh, you can still smell the fragrance of flowers, and there are birds singing in the sky with sweet sounds. What a beautiful world this is, but there are people who want to do bad things and force others to kill them.
.
The person Zhao Zheng wants to kill today is Mo Yunzi. This is a guy who became obsessed with practicing swordsmanship and likes to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
"After I turn sixty, I will withdraw from the world." Zhao Zheng raised his sword, looked at the young face reflected on the sword, and secretly made an oath. There is no end to the world's nosy affairs, and he is a nosy person.
People, if they want to live a leisurely life one day, they must wash their hands in the golden basin and retreat bravely from the rapids.
Boating on the river, logging in the forest, making wine with green plums, and drinking fragrant tea are also very nice, and Zhao Zheng also yearns for it.
Manager Zhu's voice rang in the mountain col, calling the challengers to come to the ring.
The time has come and the sword has been wiped clean.
Zhao Zheng stood up, returned his sword to its sheath, walked out of the house with two swords, and headed to the ring with many other challengers.
Many contestants were eliminated in the last round of competition. The eliminated people can no longer live here and can only move to other guest rooms. There are already half of the people here. After today's competition, there will be half less people.
people.
While Zhao was walking, he felt a fierce gaze behind him. He knew it was Mo Yunzi's gaze, so he did not look back. The two of them no longer needed to communicate.
There are two types of people in this world who can understand what they mean without communicating, one is a confidant, and the other is an enemy. Unfortunately, Zhao Zheng and Mo Yunzi belong to the latter.
The process of today's beating was the same as last time. First, the firecrackers were lit, the bells and drums rang, then the master of the iron village gave a speech, and finally the beaters were allowed to take the stage.
The little red flag flashed, and the two people jumped up first, namely Gongye Gaokuan and Fang Junru. One was tall and the other was short, one was beautiful and one was ugly, one was male and the other was female, forming a sharp contrast.
Fang Junru was good at wielding a chain sword and was nicknamed the Life-killing Fairy. It was rumored that someone was blinded by her because she looked at her too many times. Others said that she once killed fifteen heartless men who abandoned their wives.
.These rumors may be false, but she is indeed a fierce woman, which can be seen from the frost on her face.
Gongye Gao Kuan wanted to shrink his neck just by looking at Fang Jun's fierce expression, which made him even shorter, almost shrinking into a ball.
"Winning or losing is just a fleeting moment. No matter whether you win or I win today, it is impossible to get the Zichu Sword. Sooner or later, we will lose to Zheng Wuji and others. In this case, the two of us don't need to take it too seriously.
, just click until it ends. When we compete later, please be merciful, girl." Gongye said with a smile and cupped his fists. His words were reasonable, but his smile was really ugly.
"I can be merciful, but I'm afraid that the chain sword in my hand is not important." Fang Junru slowly raised his right arm, and on that thin arm, there were circles and circles of fine steel chains wrapped around it.
There is a short sword connected to the end. This strange weapon goes beyond the scope of eighteen kinds of weapons and belongs to the weapons in the "Twenty-Four Ways and Five Elements". It can be said to be a sword or not. Regardless of this weapon
Counting it as a sword, at least the Sword Forging Villa tacitly allowed her to use this weapon.
"Girl, you are joking. The weapon is in your hand. Whether it is light or heavy is of course under your control."
"I never joke, and my weapons may not always be under my control." Fang Junru shook her right arm at the dwarf opposite, and the chain sword rattled and flashed with cold light. She was telling the truth, this special kind
It is true that weapons cannot be completely controlled. Once they are shaken out, they may hit somewhere.
"Since the girl can't control the heat, I won't force the girl. If I get hurt by you, girl, I will consider myself unlucky." Gongye Gaokuan said with a bitter smile.
"You talk a lot. Are you here to compete, or are you here to chat?"
"If I don't talk to you more on stage, I won't have a chance to talk to you after I get off stage."
"You don't have a chance now, because I don't want to talk to you anymore." Fang Junru tapped her toes, stood up, rolled her wrist, and threw the chain sword out. The chain lengthened a lot, and the sword blade at the head
He stabbed the dwarf in the head, and there was a cold light on it, wrapped in a layer of sharp sword energy.
Gongye Gaokuan's next words were suppressed by this sword, otherwise his head would be blown open on the spot. He pulled out the dagger on his back. The length of the sword matched his height very well. He crossed the dagger and
He used the hilt to swing the chain sword's blade away, and then rolled on the spot towards Fang Junru. He was very ugly, and his kung fu was also very ugly. Most people can't practice this kind of sword technique rolling on the ground.
I don’t even bother to practice.
When an ugly person is paired with ugly Kung Fu, the combination of ugliness and ugliness will make people even more disgusted.
Fang Junru frowned, the bridge of her nose rose slightly, and she dealt a ruthless blow to the dwarf rolling all the way. She waved the chain sword in her hand repeatedly, using this strange weapon as a whip. The chain sword lashed at the dwarf repeatedly, but
They were all dodged by the dwarf. The dwarf dodged, but the brick floor below could not avoid it. The chain sword fell on the ground again and again, and every time it fell, it would leave a deep mark on it.
It would be dangerous if the dwarf rolled to his feet. This was an obvious thing. Fang Junru didn't want such an ugly and dangerous person to roll to his feet, so she stepped back while waving her sword. The shining sword energy shone on her beautiful body.
They were circling and flying around, like a group of silver snakes coming out of their caves, fierce and beautiful.
A man and a woman were fighting on the field, and they were neck and neck. When the fight reached the fifteenth move, the dwarf scurried through the gap in the chain sword and suddenly approached Fang Junru.
Fang Junru's face changed slightly, her feet stamped on the ground, and she stood up. In order to stay away from the dwarf, she jumped very high, but unfortunately she failed to get rid of the dwarf. The dwarf also jumped very high, following her.
Jump the same height.
Gongye Gao Kuan was in the air and thrust his dagger at Fang Junru's three-inch golden lotus. This sword actually thrust out five sword energies. The sword energy circled around the sword body. There was reality within the emptiness, and there was emptiness within the reality.
, extremely exquisite.
Fang Junru swung the chain sword and rolled it into a whirlwind, trapping the dagger and the five sword energies in it, neutralizing the attack.
The two began to fall, and during the process of falling, their hands and feet were not idle, and they were still fighting fiercely.
Since some of the moves on land could not be used in the air, Fang Junru's moves became illogical, causing several troubles one after another.
But Gongye Gaokuan's moves are still exquisite and have not been affected at all. It seems that he has worked hard in this area. He is a person who no one loves. When others are wasting time for love, he is practicing, so
The foundation is very solid.
The two fought five moves in mid-air. Fang Junru exposed at least three flaws. Gongye Gaokuan caught at least two of them and used them to launch an offensive.
The dagger and the cold air passed over Fang Junru's neck and waist, sending chills down her spine and cold sweat all over her body. But after landing, she realized that she was not injured at all, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. She knew it must be Gongye
Gao Kuan deliberately kept his hand and did not hurt her. She had already lost this competition, and she was convinced of her defeat.
She had not promised Gongye Gaokuan to be merciful before, but Gongye Gaokuan was merciful during the competition. This shows that although Gongye Gaokuan is small in stature, he has a big heart.
"The owner of this village announces that the winner of this competition is Fang Junru!" Tie Xuanfeng's old and loud voice sounded, like the morning bell ringing in an ancient temple in the mountains.
Fang Junru frowned when she heard this, feeling a little confused. It was clearly her who lost just now, but she was considered the winner. She turned around and scanned the ring, but found that there was no trace of the dwarf anymore.
The dwarf is not on the stage, but off the stage. When he fell just now, he deliberately fell outside the ring and gave the victory to Fang Junru. He knew very well that he was definitely not Zheng Wuji's opponent. No matter whether he won or lost in this competition, it didn't matter.
Meaning, simply give a favor and give victory to Fang Junru.
He is an unpleasant person, and doing such a thing may make others have a slightly better impression of him.
Just a little bit is enough.
Fang Junru grabbed the chain sword and stopped to watch the dwarf in the audience gradually move away until it disappeared. She did have a little more favorable impression of the dwarf in her heart, at least she no longer disliked the dwarf.
The first competition ended, and the second competition followed. Tie Xuanfeng stood on the stage and announced in public: "The candidates for the second competition are Zhao Zheng and Mo Yunzi. Please invite two young warriors to come on stage!
"
In the east stand, the two people who were targeted all cheered up and stood up one after another.
The first three games were not good, and Zhao Zheng knew that he was being used as a back-up, but he didn't care. The only thing he cared about now was the outcome of this competition, and the life and death of Mo Yunzi. He turned his head and looked at
Mo Yunzi, the other party was also looking at him, his eyes were colder and sharper than the sword.
"Boy, come on stage. Today is the day you die." Mo Yunzi said coldly.
Zhao Zheng did not get angry when he heard this, but sighed. He was sighing for Mo Yunzi.
People who are about to die but don't know it are a bit pitiful.
During the first round of competition, Mo Yunzi went crazy halfway and was knocked unconscious by Tie Xuanfeng, so he was not able to see Zhao Zheng's subsequent competition and did not know Zhao Zheng's current strength. If Mo Yunzi had seen it
Zhao Zheng's martial arts competition must not be so confident now.
Don't say Mo Yunzi is not crazy, even if Mo Yunzi is crazy, Zhao Zheng is still confident to defeat him.
The two of them got on the stage. There were traces of the previous fight on the stage, but there was no blood.
Soon, this arena will be stained with blood.
After the challenger entered the ring, Tie Xuanfeng should have left, but Zhao Zheng stopped Tie Xuanfeng first and bowed respectfully.
Tie Xuanfeng saw that Zhao Zheng had something to say, stopped and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Master, I have a heartfelt request." Zhao Zhengdao.
"But there's no harm in talking."
"When Guizhuang set up the arena, it issued repeated orders that it was strictly forbidden for the contestants to kill their opponents, and it was recommended to stop at the last minute. I didn't want to violate the rules of Guizhuang, but there was always a gap between me and today's opponent, and we had a deep hatred.
When it comes time to take action, it will be difficult for him and I to restrain ourselves. There is a chance that we will violate the rules of your village and kill the opponent. In order not to make you angry, owner, I hereby tell you. I hope you will do it.
It is convenient for me and him to use this opportunity of fighting to end things."
Zhao Zheng said as he took out a piece of paper from his body. With a shake of his hand, the paper popped open. There were three words about life and death clearly written on it. Below the three words, there were many words, all of which were about life and death.
Content. He continued: "As you can see, this is a certificate of life and death. I have signed my name on it. I will take it over later and let him sign his name on it too. It is written in black and white.
It must be clear that in the arena, life and death are determined by destiny, and no matter who dies, he cannot blame others."
Tie Xuanfeng's face darkened. He was a person who liked rules, so he hated others breaking them. He didn't want to make an exception for Zhao Zheng, so he said: "It's better to dissolve enemies than to end them. What kind of hatred do you two have? We must fight."
You and I cannot live or die."
"I want to kill him, he wants to kill me, the hatred between us is that simple." Zhao Zheng said firmly. In fact, what he said was not entirely true. At the beginning, he wanted to kill Mo Yunzi to replace him.
Heaven upholds justice, and enmity is a matter later. But in this situation, it would be too frivolous to say that one is upholding justice for Heaven. It would be better to directly talk about enmity to convince others.
"That's right," Mo Yunzi interjected, narrowing his eyes slightly, with a frightening cold light in his eyes, "With me and without him today, with him and without me, only one person can walk down the ring alive. I hope the owner of the village will show his noble hand.
, keep an open mind and give us this opportunity."
The people on the stage heard the conversation of several people and started booing, hoping that Tie Xuanfeng would agree to this life-and-death fight. For these people watching the excitement, it didn't matter who lived or died on the stage. The only thing that was exciting was the killing of people.
This more or less exposes the dark side of people's hearts.
The shouting became louder and louder, and the murderous aura on the two beaters became stronger and stronger.
Tie Xuanfeng knew that there was nothing he could do to stop this. Even if he didn't agree, the two young men would still fight to the death in the ring. In addition, the onlookers' voices were loud, so it was better to just go with the flow and agree to the matter.
"Oh, it's hard to dissuade the devil with good words. Since you insist on fighting to the death, the owner of this village will make an exception and allow you two to have a life-and-death fight. If you want to kill each other, just do it.
I won't interfere, anyway, your life is your own." Tie Xuanfeng said calmly.
"Many thanks to the owner of the village for making it possible!" Zhao Zheng clasped his fists, then looked at Mo Yunzi, and threw the life and death sign away, "The owner of the village has agreed to this life and death fight, please sign your name on it!"
The sign of life and death is just a piece of paper, and it is difficult to throw it out. But with Zhao Zheng's skillful push, it actually jumped more than three feet and flew in front of Mo Yunzi.
Mo Yunzi did not go to take the life and death sign, but drew out the Lengfeng sword and stabbed Zhao Zheng's name with the sword, shattering the entire life and death sign.
Pieces of confetti, like black and white butterflies, fell from the air.
"I have already signed my name." Mo Yunzi said domineeringly.
"Okay, very good, then let's start the fight." Zhao Zheng is not limited to a piece of paper. As long as the other party agrees to a life and death fight, it is enough for the people in the world to have a verbal agreement. Everyone present around him
They can all be witnesses. He pulled out his sword, the Life Sword, and he wanted to use this sword to take away Mo Yunzi's life.
The moment both swords were drawn out, the competition had already begun. Tie Xuanfeng put his hands behind his back and did not see any movement. He jumped up from the ring and landed lightly on the chief seat of the east stand.
The two beaters looked at each other, their three eyes seemed to be spitting out fire, and the two swords also looked at each other, with the tips of the swords facing each other.
He didn't move.
He didn't move either.
Mo Yunzi didn't move because Zu Xun's sword technique was very calculating and suitable for attacking first. Only in this way could the power of the sword technique be unleashed.
Zhao Zheng didn't move because he knew the mystery of Zu Xun's sword technique, so he just didn't make a move, waiting for the other party to make the first move.
Not long after the two looked at each other, the spectators in the surrounding stands couldn't wait any longer and urged the two to fight faster. They also mocked the two for meeting each other, not for fighting.
The words around me are harsh and test people's face and patience.
Mo Yunzi was very thin-skinned and had little patience, so he took action first, using a rare starting move in Zu Xun's sword technique. This move was called luring a snake out of its hole, and the moves were all feints and showoffs.
There are flaws all over his body, deliberately attracting the opponent to fight back.
A sword struck, the white light was frightening, and the cold air hit his face.
Zhao Zheng stood still, not frightened by the power of the sword, nor attracted by the flaws. He knew that those flaws were all fake and not real flaws.
Mo Yunzi reached Zhao Zheng. He wavered the sword in his hand several times, but made no real attack. His move failed, and he could not really draw out the snake. He used the old move, so he could only change to another one.
trick.
At the moment when Mo Yunzi changed his moves, Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed, and he attacked forward, using his special skill of passing through the gap. This is his fastest sword move, and the faster it is, the harder it is to break it! (
