"Really?"
After a while, Zhang Yan responded. In the shadows, he seemed to be grinning: "Oh, Junior Brother Yu doesn't look like someone like me."
His smile actually didn't reflect the joy of meeting someone of the same kind, but rather as if he was going about an errand. If he waved again, it would be like seeing him again. He was not a fool. Yu Ci took the initiative to talk and started by saying "gamble", and he could guess what he was thinking:
Young man, you may not be a little impatient. It is appropriate to use the weak to defeat the strong, and the strategy of attacking the heart is appropriate here, but the heat must be controlled well...
The more he understands Yu Ci's thoughts, the more boring he feels. In fact, according to the bet he lost a few days ago, he should cooperate well at this time, otherwise even a fool will be able to see through the fight soon. The trouble is coming! However, facing a topic that has been talked about too much for decades, Zhang Yan really couldn't muster the energy. After humming and hahaha a few times, he simply waved his hand and said:
"This is a lesson learned from the past, junior brother it is better to be cautious."
Now, you should just surrender to me... Well, should you be more enthusiastic, lest the little guy loses his strength and becomes self-defeating?
Zhang Yan was still thinking, but Yu Ci's answer was somewhat unexpected: "So that Senior Brother Zhang can know that 'gamble' is a thing, and I also know its harm. This is the same as Senior Brother Zhang." There is no difference..."
It would be fine if he said anything else, but Yu Ci's "no difference" doesn't mean that he clearly understands his thoughts? Being treated like this by a young man who is dozens of years younger than him, no matter how good-tempered Zhang Yan is, he is a little embarrassed... Of course, the more important reason here may be: he knows that Yu Ci is not just talking!
No matter what, Zhang Yan already had a reply. In the shadow, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Do you know what I think?"
Yu Ci gave a sly but sharp answer: "I think Senior Brother Zhang is a very smart person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Ci's face felt hot, and the light in Zhang Yan's eyes flashed across his face like a sword, and then disappeared. This probably means that Zhang Yan acquiesced to his offense, and Yu Ci's next words came out naturally:
"Although I know the harm, my gambling nature cannot be removed. Once removed, my life will probably be taken away."
"Oh, so serious?"
Zhang Yan replied, but he was a little disappointed in his heart. He thought it was some great rhetoric, but it turned out that he was just using scaremongering and lobbying tactics! He turned his head and looked at the sky. He estimated that it would take more than half an hour before the appointed time arrived, and he groaned in his heart.
Yu Ci seemed completely unaware, and just nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, others can't quit gambling because they can't escape the excitement, but I keep my life on it... Uh, What is Senior Brother Zhang doing?"
He was answered with an awkward silence.
Yu Ci didn't care either. After waiting for a few seconds, there was still no answer from Zhang Yan, so he said to himself: "Senior Brother Zhang, does he know which one I bet on most?"
I don’t care which one you bet on?
Zhang Yan was put in a bad mood by the young man's series of clever actions, and he had no intention of dealing with it. He was thinking about whether to just close his eyes and fall asleep for a while. Unexpectedly, at this moment, his body suddenly became cold, and he opened his eyes to see At that moment, a cold light tore through the darkness and hit the vital part of his head!
Your mother!
Zhang Yan almost cursed his mother, but he had already recited similar sentences hundreds of times in his mind. He never expected that the boy in front of him was actually a dog, and he could change his face at any time!
The distance between the two people was only four or five feet, and that was all, but there was no warning when the sword was struck, and halfway through the sword light, the sword blade had become blurry. Looking at it in the dark night, it looked like that high The light of the bright moon outside the cliff can penetrate through the sword, making it blurry and confusing, making it difficult to predict the reality.
Zhang Yan had to admit that at Yu Ci's age and level, his swordsmanship was truly incredible. He could tell at a glance that Yu Ci's swordsmanship followed the path of atomization. If the sword energy was not distributed exquisitely, how could it be reflected in the moonlight, like glass?
But because of this, Zhang Yan suddenly found himself facing an extremely embarrassing problem:
Should he fight back?
If he were to judge completely rationally, he would be 99% sure that Yu Ci was not stupid enough to break up with him here just because of a gambling fight. He was even convinced that this was still some kind of psychological attack technique. , Yu Ci’s sword will inevitably stop at the last moment, and what kind of rhetoric will come from this...
If he really wanted to get away with it once and for all, the best thing would be to do nothing and force Yu Ci to stop with an indifferent attitude. After all, he would have no shame in pestering him anymore.
A series of thoughts flashed in his mind like lightning. As the sword energy approached, the conclusion became more and more certain...
Until he saw Yu Ci’s eyes that seemed to be frozen in light!
"I x!" With a roar from the bottom of his heart, the rainbow light stretched out in the shadow of the cliff, instantly overpowering Yu Ci's moonlight sword mist.
Although the momentum was huge, Zhang Yan felt aggrieved. He finally couldn't help but take action, because when the sword light really came, he was still frightened by Yu Ci's sword intention, and could not resist the instinct of protecting himself and life.
But when he actually activated his sword power, Zhang Yan was thankful for the decision he made. The almost subtle sword energy on Yu Ci's sword pierced his skin and penetrated his bones, causing his scalp to explode, and he had no intention of holding back.
Although it is only in the realm of divine communication, this sword has the aura of returning elixirs!
Jianhong and Jianwu clashed, Zhang Yan's position did not move slightly, but Yu Ci's cultivation level was one level lower, so he would definitely not be able to sit still. He bounced up, but he didn't retreat as Zhang Yan expected. Instead, without saying a word, he faced the unfolding sword rainbow and entered straight from the middle palace!
Doesn’t this kid know what “just accept it as soon as it’s good” means? Zhang Yan was angry at first, but then the sword light burst in from the front and cut off his thoughts.
The buzzing sound of sword energy surged back and forth in the shadow of this relatively narrow cliff. The burst of sword energy filled the place completely, and the rock as hard as iron also tore open gaps.
One sword, two swords, three swords, four swords... Zhang Yan only counted to the fourth sword, and there was no chance of distraction! The sharp sword in Yu Ci's hand has completely lost its form, and only the sharp sword energy is moving back and forth in the void.
Zhang Yan did not have time to use his special skill of "flying rainbow through the sun", so he only used his relatively weak close combat swordsmanship to take on Yu Ci's violent and violent attack. At the same time, he could no longer confine the sword fight to the shadow of the cliff. The two sides jumped and shot like two flying apes, running back and forth on Touching the Sky Peak, and suddenly they had made a big circle.
Such a fierce battle had already alerted all the people on the peak, and more than ten people followed them halfway, watching from the outside. Zhang Yan couldn't care about this anymore. Now his heart was completely filled with an unbelievable fact.
From the beginning until now, Yu Ci has not even defended a move!
Zhang Yan is by no means at the point where "he only has the ability to parry but has no ability to fight back." In fact, in this round of sword fighting, he not only launched a counterattack, but had at least thirty more opportunities to pose a fatal threat to Yu Ci. However, Yu Ci ignored it and did not even blink. The violent attacks continued, but Zhang Yan was forced to withdraw his sword and defend.
"Shameless trick!" someone said so among the bystanders.
Are you a swindler? Zhang Yan doesn’t think so!
He did have a sense of proportion and was able to ensure that no bloodshed would result. However, under this premise, the severity of his more than thirty counterattacks increased with each strike. Later, he also made Xingfa more powerful. , seven or eight swords in succession were filled with rainbow light, and the power of the swords stirred up the cliffs, with the power of shaking mountains.
That's it, Yu Ci's sword light still bursts in, and the energy it emits dominates the sword's momentum. It is cold and clear, and it has not wavered from the beginning to the end. It is true progress and no retreat! But more importantly, Zhang Yan had a feeling when the swords and aura of both sides were intertwined and changing:
Are you... a little slow?
As the sword fight progressed, and as his counterattack became more fierce, this feeling became clearer and clearer. Appearances can deceive people, but energy cannot. Zhang Yan could clearly feel that the young man opposite him was very dedicated to sword fighting. His posture was correct and he had his own rules for advancing and retreating. , is definitely not the so-called "cheap trick".
He began to understand what Yu Ci meant by "gamble".
Isn’t this just gambling? Use your own life as a bargaining chip, bet that your sword energy will always be on the front line, bet that you can kill the enemy first. If you win the bet, everything will be fine. If you lose the bet, you will throw away your life!
Since the fight, Yu Ci has been betting on every sword strike, from beginning to end, without exception!
Just as Yu Ci struck with another sword, Zhang Yan suddenly had an impulse in his heart, driving him to ignore Yu Ci's sword power and swing out a fatal slash. At the same time, his mind was like never before. He concentrated hard and watched Yu Ci's reaction closely.
The sword light was like a rainbow, cutting clear traces in the night sky.
The two people staggered, and there was a "boom" sound. Zhang Yan's body protection Zhensha was activated with all his strength. The burst of impact was no longer something Yu Ci could withstand. He was immediately blown several feet away and hit the cliff. , this round of violent attacks finally ended.
He immediately turned around and looked at the expressionless Zhang Yan. Separated by dozens of feet, neither side had the intention to take action again.
Zhang Yan put away his sword first, still staring at Yu Ci: "Is this the gambling method you are good at?"
Yu Ci nodded and smiled: "I only know this skill, please give it a try, Senior Brother Zhang."
Zhang Yan reached out and touched his collar and shook his head: "What tasting? That's what I was betting on today...I lost!"
