Chapter 83 Rules
Looking at the melon seeds in You Longsheng's hand, and then at the three people's expressions of watching the fun, Guo Songyang finally understood the relationship between watching the fun and eating melons.
What melons to eat, eat melon seeds!
At this time, Xiao Ao and the musician were confronting each other, and a circle of people gathered around them, watching them nervously, not noticing the situation on You Longsheng's side, otherwise they would have to stop and kill the three people who were only watching the fun first.
They chose to duel in front of the audience, so they were naturally not afraid of being watched, but you were eating melon seeds while crossing your legs and criticizing, isn't it too much?
One is watching the battle with a respectful attitude, and the other is eating melons and watching the show with a game mentality, which are two completely different states.
Guo Songyang suddenly regretted inviting them to watch the sword fight between him and Xie Tianling.
They won't do the same thing in Longmen Grottoes, right?
Then, Guo Songyang looked at the melon seeds handed over by You Longsheng, and his mouth twitched, but he still took it and put one into his mouth.
"Crack!"
...
On the other side, the musician had already come to Xiao Ao with a knife, about ten feet away.
"Are you ready to die?" The musician grinned.
"You are the one who will die!" Xiao Ao sneered, "You have come all the way to die, it is indeed a deep brotherly love, don't worry, I will fulfill your wish!"
"Looking for death!"
The musician shouted angrily, pulled with his right hand and flicked with his left hand, and the seven-foot-nine-inch long Heavenly King Sword appeared in front of people.
"Cut!"
"Kill!"
Xiao Ao also shouted fiercely, and the long sword was unsheathed, and a bright sword light reflected in all directions, shining people's eyes.
"Swish swish swish!"
After the Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword slashed three times, the two swords did not collide at all. Xiao Ao shuttled left and right, but still did not rush in front of the musician.
Then his face changed.
The martial arts of this musician were much higher than he imagined, and they were completely different from the three ghosts of Mangshan.
It must be said that the Heavenly King Demon Slayer Sword was indeed a very domineering weapon. Unlike a spear, its blade was very long. Unless the martial arts were very different, the opportunity for you to attack close to him might be an opportunity for him to force you to abdicate with his blade.
"Ding!"
Xiao Ao finally couldn't help but swung his sword, then flew forward, but the musician took a step back, then swung his sword and slashed Xiao Ao's neck, forcing him to dodge.
The next moment, the two swords made a "ding-ding-dang-dang" sound and became a ball.
"Xiao Ao lost." Ding Chengfeng said.
You Longsheng stroked his chin, "If it was just to decide the winner, it would have ended now, but they are fighting for life and death, Xiao Ao can still take a risk."
As the saying goes, an inch longer, an inch stronger, an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous, the handle of the Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword is one foot and three inches long, and the most feared thing is of course being approached by someone.
So Xiao Ao rushed into the circle of the Heavenly King's Sword.
"Kill!"
"Ding!"
"Cha!"
Xiao Ao looked at his long sword that was three inches away from the opponent, and then couldn't help but lower his head.
A short sword was now inserted into his heart.
The musician pulled out the short sword with his backhand and sneered, "You know, I know, the heaven and the earth know the weakness of the Heavenly King's Sword, how could I not defend myself?"
With a "swish", the short sword went into his sleeve, and then the musician held the Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword with both hands, knocked it with his backhand, and Xiao Ao covered his chest and fell to the ground.
Everyone was startled, and when they saw the musician looking up, they couldn't help but take a step back.
Then the other two people appeared, Xiao Feng and Xiao Qi.
The musician looked at the two and sneered, "Why, do you want to keep me?"
Xiao Feng shook his head, expressionless, and said lightly, "Since you have issued a challenge, this battle is naturally a fair duel, please!"
Assassination is different from a duel, and the killer and the opponent are also different.
Assassination is to kill the opponent by any means, but if you don't follow the rules, the opponent will also not follow the rules when fighting back. Sometimes when the killer succeeds, it is the time for him to die.
A duel is a fair duel. Although there may be many off-field factors that interfere, the only ones who take action in the field are definitely the opponents they have chosen.
When Xiao Ao went to kill the three ghosts of Mangshan, he went to the door in a serious manner and killed the opponent face to face, so when the brother of the three ghosts of Mangshan came to take revenge, he also issued a challenge and dueled one-on-one.
In this way, if he died, it was because he was not good at learning, but if Xiao Ao died, the Xiao family could not openly add insult to injury and take the opportunity to attack, which would break the rules.
Different ways of revenge have different rules to deal with.
The Jianghu has its own set of rules. The Luoyang Xiao family is the beneficiary of the rules, so they must naturally maintain these rules.
You Longsheng looked back at Ding Chengfeng, who was also the defender of this set of "rules", so 20 years later, he would use his life to give Fu Hongxue "justice" in exchange for the safety of Ding Baiyun and other people in the Ding family.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ding Chengfeng asked, and then stretched out his hand, "I won, take the money!"
You Longsheng shrugged, took out a silver ingot and put it in Ding Chengfeng's hand.
Then everyone watched the musician sheath his sword and strode out of the Peony Garden.
"Xiao's family dragon, such a big reputation, just died like this?" Tian Qi next to him said with a sigh.
Guo Songyang said calmly, "A dead person is a dead person. No matter how famous you are, it won't guarantee that you won't die."
Ding Baiyun watched Xiao Feng and Xiao Qi disappear into the crowd, and couldn't help curling his lips and said, "Do you think that man can leave Luoyang alive?"
Ding Chengfeng said, "Since he dared to come, he must be sure. Whether he can keep him depends on the ability of the Xiao family."
Not being able to kill in person does not mean that they will not do it secretly. Xiao Ao is dead, how can the Xiao family let it go?
The superficial fairness and the waves in the dark are not contradictory. Even when Shangguan Jinhong and Li Xunhuan duel, Li Xunhuan has to travel hundreds of miles back and forth in advance to consume his physical strength, not to mention the Xiao family and the Tianwangdao lineage?
You Longsheng put the last melon seed into his mouth, "Okay, okay, I haven't seen such a fierce battle for a long time. Xiao Ao and that man's swordsmanship are not weak, just right as an appetizer."
Guo Songyang's face was dark.
So you really regard the duel between me and Xie Tianling as a main course?
He invited You Longsheng and the other two to watch the battle. He wanted You Longsheng to see his swordsmanship, arouse the young man's competitive spirit, and then arrange a duel with him.
Guo Songyang knew that You Longsheng was not his opponent yet, but Guo Songyang could wait. After all, he couldn't let him take the initiative, right?
But You Longsheng's performance was really not like a qualified swordsman. Instead of waiting for You Longsheng, he might as well go to Tianshan!
...
On the other hand, because of Xiao Ao's death, this year's Peony Garden Flower Viewing Conference naturally came to an end hastily.
If the musician could not be killed, it is estimated that the Xiao family would not have the face to hold this flower viewing conference in the future.
