Legends in Chu and Han - C321
Xiang Zhuang’s suggestion garnered the agreement of the Chu Army Generals beside him. Most of the people present were generals, and were used to fighting and killing, especially when they were drinking to cheer themselves up.
He had already expected that this banquet would not be so simple. He did not expect that the Chu Army Swordsmen would challenge the Allies with the excuse of dancing swords and cheering for fun even before the banquet had been tripled, but it was a pity that there were no top-notch swordsmen in Zhao Qi, Wei, and Yan, Five Kingdoms. For a moment, he had no fighting spirit, so he could only give the responsibility of teaching Chu a lesson to the Dragon Army.
Long Tianyu felt the pleading gaze of his ally and the provocative eyes of Chu General, and nodded slightly, thinking to himself: “Okay, then let’s do it, Xiang Zhuang is dancing with the sword, with the intent of making Pei Gong do it right? This father will see just how powerful you are! Hmm… Who is going to step forward in this match? In terms of sword techniques, other than himself, perhaps only Xiahou Ying’s sword skills had reached a top-notch. Yu Ziqi was proficient in spear techniques, and was even proficient in dancing with the spear and the sand on the battlefield. I got it, Gu Songtao! ”
Long Tianyu thought that this time, there was still the first-rate swordsman Gu Songtao, who was a swordsman who had broken through to the first-rate realm. Although his strength was not as good as his, but compared to ordinary swordsmen, he was still considered to be in the upper echelons.
“Since there are generals who are willing to brandish their swords within Xiang Jun, the Dragon Army will naturally accompany you. Gu Songtao, it’s better if you go and spar with this Brother Xiang Zhuang to cheer us up.”
After Gu Songtao heard this, he stood up and said respectfully: “Yes, my lord!”
Hearing that the other party was willing to accept the challenge, Xiang Yu was overjoyed. She thought that she would have to make use of this opportunity to challenge Long Tianyu no matter who won or lost, and that it would be best if he accepted the challenge.
Xiang Zhuang walked out from her seat and arrived at the empty spot in the middle of the banquet, she looked coldly at the young man who was leaving the stage, and did not have any thoughts of looking down on him, thus from her actions and cultivation, she could tell that she was a disciple of a famous Grandmaster.
Gu Songtao held his sword and walked to the center of the stage. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Xiang Zhuang, he indicated towards Xiang Yu with a sword salute, paying his respects to Chu Batian. After which, he turned around and carefully sized up his opponent.
Xiang Zhuang and Gu Songtao’s eyes intersected like lightning and a cold light flashed in each other’s eyes. Neither was weaker than the other.
Xiang Yu’s essay on the martial competition was a hundred times more loving, seeing the two swordsmen fight, her heart grew excited, and she said loudly: This time, Chu Army and the Dragon Army’s swordsmen will spar with each other, and no matter what, do not cause blood to splash out, and cause everyone’s spirits to rise!
All the generals applauded and cheered. The atmosphere was warm. As they drank, they enjoyed the sword duels. It was the interest of men!
Xiang Zhuang nodded to her opponent, then slowly retreated six or seven steps back to increase the distance between them so that they could prepare for attack.
Gu Songtao also retreated five or six steps back, standing on the spot, he quietly watched Xiang Zhuang, her expression did not change at all. She was unusually calm, and was not affected by the passionate cheers from the audience, observing her every movement.
was the direct disciple of Master Forgotten at Xuanyuan Sword, one of the three great sword sects under the heavens. One could imagine how much stronger his sword arts were, it was not something an ordinary swordsman could compare to, it was more like him freely dancing the sword with an extremely high perception. In his early twenties, he had already become a first-rate swordsman in the West Chu, but talented girl Li Yueyao was his senior sister, her sword arts were not inferior to his.
Even before the swords were released, their eyes were still locked on each other like sword lights. Their eyes, breath, and pulse had all entered a tense state. They were ready to attack at any moment, to give their opponent a fatal strike.
“I am Xiang Zhuang, under the West Chu’s Xuan Yuan Sword Sect. I wonder which sect Brother Gu is under?” When Xiang Zhuang saw that his opponent gave birth to such an imposing aura, he was definitely not simple. He must be a grandmaster of a famous sect, who could not help but ask Yue Yang before making his move.
Gu Songtao’s expression was still unmoved, and he said indifferently: “Piercing wind, chilling water, the moment a warrior goes, he will never return! My respected master, Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect’s Yan Shuihan! ”
“Oh!” Xiang Zhuang was a sword master who was equally famous as her benefactor Xuanyuan Zi. Today, when their disciples met, who would be the better one?
Perhaps sword techniques were not considered superior to others, but those who used the sword had different strengths and weaknesses!
The majority of the crowd had heard of the three great swordsmen, but they had never expected that tonight’s first match would be a match between two Grandmasters. Their interest was piqued, and they could not wait to enjoy the scene of the two wielding their swords and fighting to the death.
However, the two people in the arena didn’t have any intention of fighting yet, making him feel a bit itchy.
After Xiang Zhuang heard that his opponent was from a famous sect, she did not dare to lower her guard anymore, and completely covered his opponent, not letting go of even a single detail. After that, “Clang Clang”, a soft cry came out from the sword, and the Green Edge was like a rainbow, the tip of his sword pointed towards Xiang Shaolong who was twenty steps away under the flickering light, the sword hilt close to her chest, causing people to feel that he had accumulated all her strength.
Gu Songtao stood proudly on the edge of the cliff like a thousand year old pine tree, despite the winds and rain for a thousand years, he was unyielding under the pressure of frost and snow. He was in his early thirties, unconsciously revealed two shallow lines on his forehead, it was as though he was a pine tree that had experienced a long time.
He did not take out his sword, and stared at the sword tip and Xiang Zhuang’s starting point, his thoughts running fast, but his heart was still as clear as a mirror.
He sat on the horse with its waist lowered, and its upper body slightly leaned back, as though it could explode and kill its opponent in one move at any time. Seeing that Gu Songtao did not have the intention to pull out the sword, he sneered: “Brother Gu, have you not used your sword for a long time, and have you forgotten how to pull out your sword?”
The corner of Gu Songtao’s mouth suddenly revealed a smile, and he said calmly: “You and I are both from the ranks of master, so we shouldn’t be unaware of the principles behind high quality sword techniques, right? Could it be that Brother Xiang Zhuang did not follow your respected master to learn, and only understood the basics of the basics?”
“Impudent!” Let Grandpa Xiang consider how can you be so arrogant? ”
Xiang Zhuang’s eyes shot out killing intent, she roared out and suddenly leaped forward, like a wild beast pouncing towards a prey she had planned for a long time, her entire figure and the sword seemed to have melded together, the sword tip slashing through the air, releasing a sizzling sound of sword qi, the screen of light flashed, borrowing the force of her waist and wrist to push the sword forward, rapidly piercing towards Gu Songtao’s heart, accurate, ruthless and fast.
“Alright!” When Chu Army Generals saw Xiang Zhuang make her move, the dense killing intent and the cold Sword Qi intertwined into a sword screen, with the force of thunder, as fast as lightning. With just one sword strike, she could determine that Xiang Zhuang’s sword skills were indeed above that of the first-rate swordsmen, and had entered the ranks of the first-rate swordsmen.
On the other hand, many of the Alliance Generals’ faces changed. They did not expect Xiang Zhuang’s sword technique to be so ruthless, swift, and fierce, especially the few generals of the other six nations, who thought that if they were in her place, they would definitely not be able to take the first blow. They could not help but feel nervous for Gu Songtao.
Just when his loved ones were in pain but the enemy was fast approaching, Gu Songtao moved like a shadow and dodged to the right. Holding the sword in his left hand, he pulled out the sword, pulled out the sword, blocked and combined the sword in one go, and without any delay or extra movements, in the instant that Qing Feng’s sword stabbed onto him, a ray of cold light shot out.
Dong … As the two swords clashed, a crisp sound was heard. The body of the sword trembled as flames burst out.
Xiang Zhuang was startled. Such a perfect strike was easily resolved by her opponent, could Heavenly Divine Sword Sect’s sword technique really reach the state of Absolute Murder and Change of Circles?
Just when he was in shock for a thousandth of a second, Gu Songtao’s body moved again. In everyone’s eyes, the mottled image was not real, and wherever the shadow passed, the tip of the Flowing Winter Sword pierced towards the point under Xiang Zhuang’s shoulder.
