"Hong — —!"
The sound of the hammer and sword colliding was very dull. However, within the dullness, there was a power that could tear everything apart.
The moment the hammer and sword collided, the whole world seemed to darken.
The gloomy atmosphere filled the surrounding area. The air seemed to be filled with lead, suddenly becoming incomparably heavy. Junior Leopard's last hammer caused the surrounding air to move as if it was an entity. It condensed into an entity and was compressed, greatly increasing the power of his hammer. The air was strongly compressed and condensed into a point. It was pierced by the strong Sword Qi, forming a strong Qi explosion. The Sword Qi did not shrink because of this Qi explosion, and Junior Leopard's hammer also did not lose any strength because of this Qi explosion.
What was left was a contest between the sword and the strength.
The place where the sword and hammer collided flashed for a moment. Junior Leopard and Li Xiu's figures flew backwards at the same time. Junior Leopard felt the weight in his hands lighten. He saw that the pair of silver hammers that were personally made by his master could not withstand such a strong impact and completely shattered.
"Damn it!" He cursed in his heart. His body stretched out in the air, like a big bird that was slowly descending. He stabilized his body in the air and landed on the ground. His face was pale. Within his Dantian, a warm current rose up and flowed through his limbs and bones. It slowly healed the parts of his body that were injured by the huge force just now.
With this full force attack, Junior Leopard's hammers were destroyed and he was slightly injured.
What about Li Xiu?
The long sword was still there, without any damage. It was as if it had just come out of the furnace. It was still emitting a sharp and hazy spirit. Junior Leopard was stunned looking at it.
However, what made Junior Leopard feel at ease was that this guy's condition was not that good. His face was pale and the corner of his mouth was bright red. His eyes were unfocused and lifeless, as if he had suffered a heavy blow. It was as if his spirit, Qi, and spirit had been sucked away by something.
The robe on his body was also full of holes. However, it was injured by the Sword Qi that Junior Leopard had dispersed. It did not injure his body. However, from a noble young master to a beggar, the contrast was too big.
Between the two of them, there was a pit that was about thirty feet wide and ten feet deep. Around the pit, there was a mess of dead branches and rotten leaves. However, they formed a strange arrangement in the same direction and spread out in all directions like a radiation wave. It was a shocking sight.
Junior Leopard's expression congealed. His figure rushed forward and punched out. There was no sound of the wind, but this punch was incomparably heavy. It carried a Qi Power that could destroy everything as it rushed towards Li Xiu. Li Xiu's unfocused eyes fiercely trembled, as if he had regained clarity in an instant. However, it was already too late. Junior Leopard's fist was already in front of him.
"My life is over!"
A sense of despair rose in his heart, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no expected death. Li Xiu couldn't help but open his eyes.
"You lost?!" Junior Leopard withdrew his fist. "You owe me a sword!"
"I've lost!" Li Xiu nodded indifferently. Before coming here, he had never thought that he would lose. Moreover, he would lose so badly. His Internal Qi was messed up and his tendons and meridians were almost in a mess. Now, if he wanted to use his Internal Qi, it was as if his tendons and meridians were being pricked by countless needles. It was extremely difficult.
As for his opponent, other than losing a pair of hammers, he didn't seem to have suffered much damage.
All of this showed that he had lost, completely lost.
He struggled to stand up from the ground and endured the pain all over his body. He sheathed the long sword in his hand and looked at Junior Leopard. He wanted to say something, but he felt his vision go black. His eyes rolled back and with a thud, he fainted on the ground.
"It can't be?!" Junior Leopard blinked his eyes and looked at Li Xiu who had fainted on the ground. He looked like he was in a difficult position. "Sigh, these young masters, they actually cause trouble for me. Damn it, don't tell me you're pretending to faint and not want to admit it!"
Helplessly, he could only carry the fainted Young Master Li back.
… … …
… … …
"Here, what is this place?!"
Li Xiu slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that there was not a single part of his body that did not hurt, not a single part that did not feel numb, his eyes were unsteady, and his mouth was dry. However, he still resisted the thirst and asked weakly.
He didn't hear an answer. Instead, a warm bowl was put to his mouth.
"Gulp, gulp —!"
Instinctively, Li Xiu opened his mouth and drank. He had never thought that plain water could be such a delicious thing. However, he just drank two mouthfuls, and before he could satisfy his craving, the bowl was taken away.
"You've just woken up. You'd better drink less. Drinking too much is not good for your health!" A familiar voice came to his ear. He looked up and saw Junior Leopard sitting by the bed, putting the bowl of water on the table beside the bed.
"It's you?!"
"It's me!" Junior Leopard said angrily, "Isn't it just a competition? Do you have to fight so hard? You're worth your life. I don't want to offend the Li Family of Pingzhou because of this! "
Hearing Junior Leopard's words, Li Xiu's face heated up. In that last blow, in order to win, he was so anxious that he didn't even hesitate to use a secret method to forcefully destroy his own potential. He pushed the sword momentum that wasn't compressed to the extreme to the strongest state. Unexpectedly, he still lost.
… … …
… … …
"How long have I been unconscious?!" He looked around and asked.
"Don't worry, it's not long, just a couple of hours!" Junior Leopard said, "Your last blow injured your tendons and meridians, but it's not serious. You'll be fine after you go back and recuperate for a while!"
"Oh, then, thank you!" Li Xiu looked at Junior Leopard. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. In a moment of hot-headedness, he rushed into someone else's house to challenge them. As a result, he was beaten black and blue and almost died on the spot. In the end, he was saved by Junior Leopard. This was really too shameful, too embarrassing. How could the dignified Li Xiu, the Young Master Li, encounter such a thing?
This was an ending that no one had ever thought of!
"Hey, don't faint. It's time to wake up. Although your tendons and meridians are injured, if you persevere for a while, you should be able to move freely. Why aren't you going back now? Don't tell me you want to stay at my house for the night?!"
"Ah? Oh — — Ouch — —! " Hearing Junior Leopard's words, Li Xiu suddenly sat up from the bed. After that, he let out another scream. It was obvious that the movement just now was too big and affected his injuries.
"Ai, I can't figure it out!" Junior Leopard lowered his head and shook his head. He had a 'I surrender to you' look on his face. He picked up a set of clothes from the side and passed it to Li Xiu, "Your clothes are already ruined. Just use mine first. The next time I send you the sword, I'll return it together!"
"Sword?!" Li Xiu raised his head. His eyes were blank.
"Hey, are you serious? We made a bet. Don't tell me you want to go back on your words?!"
At this moment, Li Xiu finally remembered and said, "Oh, I didn't mean that. It's just that I'm in Zhonghe City now and not at home. This sword can only be retrieved when I return home, so …!"
"Return home? How long will that take?!" Junior Leopard frowned. He had neglected this. Previously, he was only thinking about getting a good sword and forgot about this. Now, there were only three months left before the marriage in Yunzhou. If this brat wanted to return home to retrieve the sword, who knew how long it would take. One must know that Pingzhou was even further than Yunzhou!
"Are you in a hurry?!" Seeing Junior Leopard frown, Li Xiu's heart suddenly jumped. He was the young master of the Li Family. Although he lost, it was a fair and square competition. It was a matter of course to admit defeat. He didn't want Junior Leopard to think that he was a treacherous person. Hence, he said, "I have a ready-made Genuine Weapon in my hands. The quality is very good, but it's a little too short. I'm afraid it's not suitable for you to use!"
"A dagger?!"
Junior Leopard's eyes brightened. He thought of Xue Wuya's coal dagger. That dagger wasn't bad, it was very good and easy to use. But because it belonged to Xue Wuya, Junior Leopard didn't dare to take it out casually. Hence, after meeting Li Xiu and knowing that he was from the Li Family, he thought of extorting one from him. He never thought that this brat would take it for granted that he wanted a long sword and not a dagger.
"A dagger is fine, but you have to keep it a secret for me. Don't tell anyone. Also, if I use it, no one will be able to tell the origin of this sword, right?"
"Of course not. That sword was given to me by an elder when I was 10 years old. He passed away last year and no one has seen it. Hence, no one will be able to tell the origin of this sword!" Speaking of this, Li Xiu's expression became strange. "Why are you so mysterious? Are you going to use the sword to do bad things?!"
"It's none of your business. Why are you asking so many questions!" Junior Leopard said snappily.
"I see that your injury is not a big deal. Let's go back now. That sword, can you give it to me within these two days?!"
"No problem, I will send the sword to you tomorrow!" Li Xiu said very straightforwardly. He looked at Junior Leopard and suddenly said with some hesitation, "There's something that I want to ask you!"
"What is it?!"
"Uh, that, my martial arts and sword skills, how are they?!"
"Hmm?!" Junior Leopard said a little strangely, "Your martial arts and sword skills are not bad, very good. Why are you asking this?!"
"Just not bad?!" Hearing Junior Leopard's words, Li Xiu seemed to let out a sigh of relief. But at the same time, there was a little disappointment in his tone. One must know that in the past, others always praised him as a rare genius that only appeared once in a hundred years. His sword skills had already reached the threshold and his future achievements were limitless. These praises sounded very comfortable.
But in Junior Leopard's eyes, he only heard the two words "not bad". Subconsciously, he felt a little unsatisfied.
Of course, he would not think that Junior Leopard was belittling him. After all, Junior Leopard was the same age as him, but he defeated him fair and square. In terms of strength, he had the qualifications to evaluate him.
"Of course it's not bad!" Junior Leopard looked at his seemingly dissatisfied expression and laughed, "For your age, it should be pretty good. I have never met a person of your age who has such a strong strength!"
"Aren't you stronger than me?!"
"That's because I took advantage of the weapon! You don't have enough battle experience, so I deliberately dragged you into my rhythm. Otherwise, it's hard to say who would win or lose! " Junior Leopard comforted him. Although he was 100% sure that he could smash Li Xiu to death, it did not matter if he said some nice words now.
"Not enough experience?!"
"Yes, your experience in fighting is too poor. Holding a sword in your hand and clashing head-on with my hammer, isn't that looking for trouble for yourself? But you are also very powerful. You actually used your Sword Qi to smash my hammer! "Junior Leopard said.
Hearing Junior Leopard's words, Li Xiu's expression finally became better.
