martial arts town

Chapter 9 The Battle of Fate
This is an inn that rarely has guests. Although all the rooms have already been occupied by people, the inn is still empty at this moment.

Almost everyone who came to check in came to watch the two people sitting together having a rare cup of tea and chatting.

If it was found out, the two of them who had waited for a long time but didn't see anyone were in the place where they lived, and they didn't know how they would feel in their hearts.

The owner of Fulu Villa is this man in somewhat rich clothing, named Xie Donglai. In his early years, he traveled around the world and got acquainted with this man in a bamboo hat named Xu Long. Both of them like to use swords, and both like to hoe the strong and support the weak.

The two became close because of this, but later because of a joke, the two agreed to have a competition within three years after they separated, so that the other would know that they were not slacking off.

It's just that the first few years were fine, until the fourth martial arts competition, Xie Donglai had already married a wife and had children, and he no longer wanted to get involved in the Jianghu, so he naturally didn't want to cause too much trouble because of the martial arts competition.

But in this small town in the south of the Yangtze River, their reputation and their every move always affect the martial arts people here, and Xu Long also complained to Xie Donglai for a while because of the matter of getting married, blaming him for giving up their ideals.

Lu Yu listened to Xu Long's narration of the matter, and was also taken aback for a while. He didn't expect that the plot in this kind of movie would really be touched by him, and he would solve it after a few casual flicks.

"As people get older, they always want to return to their roots. Gradually, they start to focus on family, but they always feel sorry for Xu Xiandi, so every time they have a fight, they can't bear to refuse. It's just slowly the first time, the second time, Gradually, I can't do what I want." Xie Donglai couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

When Xu Long heard this, he hurriedly said: "Brother Xie could have explained the reason to me directly, but he only persisted in the competition because he didn't want to disappoint his brother, and he neglected to exercise. Every time the competition was over, Brother Xie felt that Brother Xian was... I was so perfunctory with my good brother that I got such a misunderstanding, and because I have been brothers for many years, I was too embarrassed to point it out in person, so hehe."

Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh after hearing what the two said. It's true that brothers are the most likely to have unsolvable knots, because they are unwilling to explain everything, leading to misunderstandings time and time again.

"Actually, people in the world of martial arts should be free and easy-going, but the two seniors look alike." Lu Yu couldn't help but say.

Hearing this, Xu Long stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Xie, you and I may not know when we will see each other again once we say goodbye today. Although my dear brother has let go, he still has a request. But I beg you, brother, to fight with me one last time, to prove whether my virtuous brother has been slacking off over the years. From now on, I will carry the ideals of both of them on my shoulders."

Xie Donglai didn't refuse, he understood Xu Long, and devoted himself to studying martial arts just to eliminate the strong and help the weak, and he might just be young and vigorous at the time.

"Okay, since that's the case, there is a forest in front of us, many trees in it have been felled, and there is an open space where no one is around, why not just stay there and let me be a witness." Lu Yu also said without hesitation.

The two of them clasped their fists to express their gratitude, but for no reason, when they were about to walk out of the inn, Lu Yu said again: "You two, we are running a small business, so don't forget to pay."

The two laughed, and naturally they only thought that Lu Yu was joking, and threw a piece of silver casually.

Lu Yu caught the silver, and the moment the two of them stepped out of the inn, the second branch task was finally completed, and Lu Yu received the reward, which was a recipe, on which was written about Wang Bazi's recipe.

It's just that Lu Yu didn't have time to look at it now, so he just threw it into the inventory.

In the silent forest, there is no other sound except the chirping of insects and birds.

In the open space, the two of them stood facing each other with swords in hand. They knew that this was the real last battle, and they would never allow any behavior that would make the other party feel disappointed during the battle.

Neither of the two moved first, Lu Yu just watched quietly, but his mouth was a little confused, "Boss is standing here for a stick of incense, why don't you make a move?"

"You don't understand. This is accumulating momentum and adjusting the state. Neither side wants to leave regrets for the other, and they are both ready to face the next battle with the best state." It is rare that Lu Yu did not laugh at Li Xiaozui, because at this moment is solemn.

Not long after, the wind blew, the branches and forks began to shake, and the leaves began to dance. At this time, the two finally slowly pulled out the swords in their hands.

Hearing the sound of "敪", all the birds that were resting on the branches flew away, and the leaves on the branches fell one after another, and the two sword-wielding figures intersected in the forest full of flying leaves and then Together.

After the sound of weapons colliding, the two separated immediately, and the leaves that were all over the sky were divided into several pieces by the piercing sword energy emanating from the twin swords.

For a time, the place where the two met for the first time became more difficult to distinguish objects.

Lu Yu, who was standing outside the battlefield, could not clearly see the movements of the two people after they separated. He could only vaguely see the two figures standing face to face again.

Compared with Lu Yu, both of them belonged to the realm of third-rate masters under the systematic evaluation, but the same third-rate masters should also have differences in strength.

Lu Yu was originally an ordinary college student, and he has been in the world of martial arts for 21 years, and he has met many martial arts people, but during that time he was in a daze.

Although he knew that he would not be ordinary because of the system, but within a few months his internal strength reached the third level of the acquired state.

He doesn't know what this state is like, because he doesn't know much about this world. After deducting the previous 21 years, to be honest, his understanding of this world is basically from these few months.

He only knows that this Yuzhou is just a small remote hell in the world of martial arts, and the place where he is located is just a small town in the south of the Yangtze River in Yuzhou. One can imagine how big the whole world of martial arts is, and how big this Jianghu is. .

Some people in this place have never even been out of this small town in the south of the Yangtze River in their entire lives, and some have only been to other places in Yuzhou, and he has never even inquired about places farther away.

But the two people who were fighting at this time were the two most famous sword masters in the Jiangnan area. How could he not be excited?

Just when Lu Yu was thinking a lot, the two of them moved again. Xu Long's feet were close together, his legs suddenly bent, and then he jumped ten feet high off the ground with all his strength.

At the same time, the sword in his hand waved several sword flowers in front of him. A pair of sharp eyes stared closely at Xie Donglai, who was standing in front of him, and said: "Brother Xie, are you ready? Take my move and let the fallen leaves fly."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Long, who jumped into the air, swung the sword faster, and the leaves that had already fallen around him fluttered again, forming a circle of fallen leaves around the waving sword.

Xu Long, who had just jumped up, was surrounded by a pile of fallen leaves. From the outside, he could only see a sharp sword waving from time to time, only a slowly falling figure.

Xie Donglai didn't speak. With the rotation of his wrist, the long sword in his hand had already returned to the position pointing at Xu Long. His whole body was tense as he waited for the imminent move, and everything in his eyes was cautious.

Lu Yu's exposure to martial arts is still too short, and he has only learned internal skills. He can only speculate from some scenes in some martial arts TV movies he watched. He feels that Xu Long's move should have a hint of hidden moves in it. That's why Xie Donglai seemed so cautious.

But what he didn't know was why Xie Donglai chose to raise his sword to deal with the next move. Was he planning to take this move head-on, or was this move Xie Donglai had already used in previous fights with Xu Long, so That's how I dealt with it.

His thoughts were not finished, it was only a few blinks of an eye from Xu Long's leap to the countless fallen leaves brought up by the sword shadow, and then to Xu Long's landing.

Xu Long, who touched the ground with one foot in an instant, pushed aside the fallen leaves around him and attacked Xie Donglai.

The sword was swung from time to time, drawing sword trails in the air continuously, and the fallen leaves were separated and flew to both sides at a faster speed.
