Chapter 70: Everyone's Putting on an Act, Embarrassment for the Loser
Chapter 70: Everyone's Putting on an Act, Embarrassment for the Loser
Handsome, cold, and powerful with an aura that commanded attention!
You Longsheng's current appearance was every man's idol and every woman's fantasy.
Ding Baiyun, who was most familiar with You Longsheng, had a higher resistance and managed to suppress the wildly jumping heart. Then she noticed the surrounding women who wanted to devour You Longsheng with their eyes, and she couldn't help but curse, "Jerk!"
Xue Ying, Cui Yao, and Xing Qing, who were leaning on the second floor, wanted to grab You Longsheng into the building, strip him clean, and throw him on the bed.
Len Hong Lou's Qian Yu lady still sat next to Hua Mantian, but her eyes were firmly fixed on You Longsheng, her breathing quickened, her heart pounded, and she couldn't help but rub her legs, feeling a slick moisture.
According to reason, Hua Mantian's martial arts were not weak, and it was easy to sense the changes in Qian Yu, but he seemed completely unaware at the moment, because all his attention was focused on You Longsheng.
The oppressive feeling was too strong. This aura must be broken, or he would undoubtedly lose!
He had to take action now!
So Hua Mantian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the tremors in his heart, and slowly walked away from the table, stepping out into the street.
"He's pretending, he's pretending, he's pretending..."
Hua Mantian muttered to himself, trying to comfort himself, then paused, suddenly raising his head to look at You Longsheng, only to meet the latter's indifferent gaze, causing his heart to skip a beat once again.
"Please." You Longsheng said indifferently.
Hua Mantian swallowed, feeling his body stiffen, but he still slowly reached out his right hand and gripped the sword hilt.
It wasn't until he grasped the hilt that Hua Mantian seemed to regain a bit of confidence.
I am Jian Feihua! I am the famous swordsman of Jiangnan!
But when he saw the disdainful smile on You Longsheng's face, he couldn't help but feel his heart sink again, and then he was enraged.
He finally realized how pathetic he had just been!
He was like a clown putting on an act!
So Hua Mantian drew his sword in anger, his toes tapping the ground as he brandished his sword, creating a shower of flower petals. He combined feints and attacks, making it hard to predict his moves, and struck directly at You Longsheng.
Whether or not he had been suppressed by You Longsheng's momentum just now, as long as he defeated You Longsheng, everything would be fine!
He was still the dashing and elegant Jian Feihua, while You Longsheng was the hypocritical villain putting on an act!
What a pity...
Ding Chenfeng shook his head. "His mind is in chaos, and his wrists are stiff. He can't even bring out his true strength, let alone perform better than when he was sparring with Du Wu last night."
Ding Baiyun disagreed. "His martial arts are far superior to Hua Mantian's. It's unsportsmanlike to pretend and suppress Hua Mantian with his momentum again!"
However, Ding Chenfeng had a different opinion. "But what if his next opponent isn't Hua Mantian? In a duel between equally skilled experts, the difference of a single move can mean life or death. Brother You's method of suppressing his opponent's momentum is worth learning."
Ding Baiyun fell silent.
She didn't disagree with You Longsheng's method of suppressing his opponent's momentum; it was just that when this method was used, it was so handsome and hateful!
Yang Tingfeng, who was on the side of the building, shook his head and said, "The winner has been decided."
Huang Fei, who was under the tea house's eaves, even turned and left.
"Master, aren't you going to watch?"
"No, Hua Mantian is even more useless than I thought. He can't even force out You Longsheng's true strength. There's nothing worth watching."
"Yes!"
As Huang Fei left, Hua Mantian's long sword was already in front of You Longsheng.
Petals filled the air, sword shadows flashed, and the unpredictable movements hid deadly strikes. Hua Mantian, the renowned swordsman of Jiangnan, lived up to his reputation. Even without displaying his true strength, his sword techniques appeared graceful and sharp to the average onlooker.
"Chok!"
The crisp ring of swords startled the crowd, and in a flash of light, a long sword flew diagonally, embedding itself into the signboard of Len Hong Lou with a loud "dong."
When everyone looked back at the duelists, Hua Mantian's hands were empty, and the tip of You Longsheng's sword was pressed firmly against his chest, just three inches away.
What a swift sword!
What a precise sword!
What a powerful sword!
In just one move, he had broken through Hua Mantian's Flying Flower technique and sent his sword flying!
"I didn't see anything!"
"I, I just saw a flash of sword light."
"I saw him draw his sword, but I didn't see how he broke the Flying Flower technique."
Hua Mantian stared at the sword tip before him, his face ashen.
You Longsheng sheathed his sword, his expression indifferent. Without another word to Hua Mantian, he turned to leave.
There was no need for him to say anything more; speaking would only lower his prestige.
Everyone was putting on an act, and the loser would be embarrassed. Ding Chenfeng gave him a thumbs-up. "Amazing!"
Ding Baiyun's gaze was equally complex as she watched him, and when he drew close, she suddenly asked, "What about his feces?"
You Longsheng stumbled, almost breaking his composure, and Ding Chenfeng looked helpless. "Little sister!"
Ding Baiyun stuck out her tongue and glanced at Hua Mantian, who was still standing stiffly. With a cold smile, she said, "There are no shortcuts in martial arts. Those who disrespect others will be disrespected. Hua Mantian, you brought this upon yourself."
"Young Master You! May I ask if you're betrothed?"
"Young Master You! Young Master Ding! Xue Ying and Cui Yao miss you both and invite you to come upstairs!"
"Young Master You, Young Master Ding, the chief escort of the Sanjiang Escort Agency invites you to a feast!"
"Young Masters and ladies, the owners of Biyu Pavilion, Baobao Xuan, and Cuizhen Lou have set up a banquet at Ruiyun Tower and invite you to grace them with your presence!"
You Longsheng waved his hand, declining all the invitations.
He enjoyed spectating and commenting, but not getting involved. Having meals with these unrelated people was less appealing than having the ladies of Len Hong Lou serve him tea and wine.
Wait, didn't Len Hong Lou also extend an invitation just now?
As You Longsheng turned, Ding Baiyun pulled on his sleeve. "I just saw Huang Fei of the Jinqian Gang. He exchanged glances with Yang Tingfeng upstairs and then left."
"I guess they're about to make their move," Ding Baiyun said.
"Are there any juicy details to witness?" You Longsheng asked.
Ding Chenfeng nodded. "I think the Feijing Gang will have a battle tonight!"
You Longsheng's eyes lit up. "I recall the Feijing Gang's headquarters is in Yangjiang Bay, outside Yangzhou City?"
"We should keep our distance to avoid any misunderstandings and being seen as enemies by both sides," Ding Chenfeng suggested.
You Longsheng raised an eyebrow. "Don't you want to see that Huang Fei's curved sword in action?"
Ding Chenfeng blinked innocently. "If we're careful, we should be fine."
Ding Baiyun: "..."
