The central square of Celestial Azure City was packed with people.
The liveliness today was not inferior to the recruitment competition two days ago. In fact, it was even slightly better.
After all, it was extremely rare to see a Martial Dao Master fight. Countless martial artists from Celestial Azure City's Martial Dao Family Clans had flocked over.
Mu Feng and Gu Cangnan had also ascended to the loft next to the square to watch from above.
When it was close to noon, the Yeh family members arrived at the central square. Ye Xing was among them. He held the Dragon Tendon Bow and walked into the center of the square.
With the end of the recruitment competition, the arena in the center of the square had been torn down. The spectating martial artists consciously left an empty space in the center of the square for Ye Xing and Xiong Baotian's duel. It was about twenty feet in radius.
This was a very large space. Normally, there was no need to use such a large space for a duel. A ring with a radius of ten zhang would be enough.
However, Ye Xing and Xiong Baotian were dueling to the death. When the time came, it would only be a matter of life and death, regardless of the location. Therefore, the spectating martial artists did not dare to get too close and only surrounded the periphery of the square.
Twenty feet in radius, the maximum distance was about sixty meters. One hundred and twenty steps. Compared to the range of Ye Xing's bow and arrow, this space was really small.
However, for a Martial Dao Master like Xiong Baotian, this distance was not considered large. With his attainments in Qinggong, as well as his external attacks, he could attack in an extremely short amount of time even at the furthest distance.
Therefore, the battlefield was considered a disadvantage for Ye Xing. However, for Xiong Baotian, it was considered an advantage.
When the martial artists saw Ye Xing coming over with bow and arrow, they knew that Ye Xing's forte was archery. If Ye Xing wanted to rely on archery to fight Xiong Baotian, then he would have already lost by half the battle.
This made the majority of the martial artists not optimistic about Ye Xing's chances. Some of them revealed gloating smiles, while others sighed in pity.
In their opinion, Ye Xing would definitely die in Xiong Baotian's hands today.
Ye Xing stood in the middle of the square with bow and arrow in his arms. His heart was filled with lofty sentiments, and his posture was like a mountain.
Ever since he made the decision to challenge Xiong Baotian, Ye Xing's temperament had undergone a metamorphosis. any casual stand, he was like a deep pool of water, a mountain peak, making people look up to him.
Ye Xing closed his eyes and waited calmly for Xiong Batian's arrival.
He was certain that Xiong Baotian would come.
Xiong Baotian, Xiong Baotian's, Xiong Baotian, baotian's, Xiong Baotian.
Xiong Baotian, Xiong Baotian, Xiong Baotian, Baotian, Xiong, Ye, Xiong Ye.
Xiong, Baotian, Ye, Baotian, Baotian......
Yeh Baotian was the first to discover Baotian's figure. Because the direction Baotian entered the square was exactly where the Yeh family was.
Although Baotian did not put Ye Xing in his eyes, Ye Xing's archery skills were still important enough. Any opportunity to make Ye Xing's archery skills difficult to display, he would take advantage of it.
If he walked out from the Xiong Baotian's, then the Xiong Baotian would be behind him. Ye Xing's arrow might attack the Xiong Baotian after passing by him.
And if he walked out from the Yeh family's, then, if he avoided the arrow attack, the arrow attack would be aimed at the Yeh family's people. This point would definitely make Ye Xing wary when he shot the arrow.
Therefore, he was wary of hurting the Yeh family's people. When the distance between the two was too far and he could avoid the arrow, Ye Xing would not shoot. And when the distance was close, it would be time for Baotian to take Ye Xing's life.
"Little bastard, I'm here to take your dog life!"
Baotian walked into the square from the Yeh family's direction, and his voice was full of murderous intent.
Ye Xing turned around and opened his eyes. He was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he said indifferently, "Baotian, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Ye Xing's calmness surprised Baotian. He continued to walk forward and approached Ye Xing. He said, "What are we betting on?"
Ye Xing said, "Our life and death is already in the outcome of the duel. If we want to bet, then it's naturally something other than life and death. If I win, let me go to the Xiong Family's martial arts library to watch martial arts for four hours. If you win, I will go to your son's memorial tablet and kowtow before I die. How about it?"
Baotian's eyes flashed. Killing Ye Xing like this was letting him off too easily. If he could kowtow before Xiong Qicai's memorial tablet and apologize, Baotian's heart would naturally be more carefree.
And if Ye Xing won, he could only watch for four hours at the Xiong Family's martial arts library. Not to mention four hours, even if he had a whole day, how much could he remember?
Most of the words in the martial arts manuals were bitter and difficult to understand. It was difficult to read the manuals, let alone memorize them.
Baotian's eyes narrowed slightly. He sneered, "You still think you have a chance to win? Haha … Since you want to kowtow before my son's memorial tablet and apologize, of course I will agree. "
Ye Xing chuckled and said, "Baotian, just your agreement is not enough. When you die, what if the Xiong Family doesn't care about your face and refuses to admit defeat? This bet can only count if the Xiong Family Head agrees."
"You —!" Baotian was furious. He wanted to shout, "You're courting death!"
However, the two were in a life and death duel. There was no such thing as courting death. It was already a situation where either you die or I die.
On one side of the square, Baotian narrowed his eyes. He wanted to see where Ye Xing's confidence came from. Unfortunately, he couldn't see it and couldn't figure it out.
Regarding Ye Xing's request, Baotian didn't think it was too much. Moreover, in his opinion, Ye Xing was definitely going to die. How could he still have the life to go to the Xiong Family's martial arts library to watch martial arts?
Baotian sneered and said, "Well, I promise you. If you can win, not to mention four hours, even six hours is fine. I'm afraid that you won't have that chance."
After listening to Baotian's words, Ye Xing's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a trace of a smile. Looking at Baotian, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Your value ends here. You can die now!"
While speaking, Ye Xing used the Big Dipper Steps and his body suddenly retreated backward.
At the same time, he pulled out a Black Edge Arrow from the quiver like lightning. While his body was retreating, he nocked the arrow on the string and shot the arrow in one breath.
Whoosh —!
When his voice fell, there was a loud sound. It was the Black Edge Arrow that was shot out from the string and shot toward Baotian.
"Little bastard, die —!"
When Ye Xing made his move, Baotian was also within ten feet. He also shouted and suddenly used his body movement to rush toward Ye Xing. He wanted to kill Ye Xing.
Clang —
When the arrow left the string, it was the time when the sword was unsheathed. With a bright internal strength, the sword Qi was extremely sharp.
Arrow and sword, one was a long-range attack weapon and the other was a close-range attack weapon. But they had the same characteristics — fast speed and many changes.
In such a short distance, the Revolving Arrow Technique's trajectory distortion was useless. The only thing that pursued was speed. It wanted to kill the opponent in the shortest time possible.
Therefore, this arrow was straight and fast to the extreme. If Baotian did not use his sword, his throat would definitely be pierced in an instant.
However, Baotian used his sword.
Moreover, his sword was also as fast as lightning.
Clang —
The Black Edge Arrow was split by Baotian's sword.
In the collision between the arrow and the sword Qi, the arrow won, but in the collision between the arrow and the sword, the sword won.
With a crisp sound, the Black Edge Arrow was split, but Baotian's speed did not decrease at all. Like a roc spreading its wings, he continued to chase Ye Xing.
At the same time, with a wave of his sword, his internal strength followed the sword and turned into a bright sword Qi, shooting toward Ye Xing who was ten feet away.
At this moment, Xiong Batian was secretly alarmed. Although his sword strike had sent the arrow flying and his speed wasn't affected, his hands were slightly numb from the impact. This meant that the power contained within the arrow was extremely terrifying and posed a great threat to him.
Therefore, he had to fight speed with speed. In the shortest time possible, he killed his way to Ye Xing's side, making Ye Xing's bow useless. In this way, he would be able to win.
To shoot an arrow, there was the process of taking the arrow, drawing the bow, and shooting. After all, it was not as simple and fast as waving a sword.
When Ye Xing took out the second arrow and was ready to shoot, the bright sword Qi was already in front of him.
No matter how fast he retreated, he could not be faster than the attack of the sword Qi.
As a last resort, Ye Xing could only give up shooting the second arrow. The wind force was integrated into the Seven Star Steps. His body dodged to the side like lightning, avoiding the attack of the sword Qi.
In the first moment after dodging, Ye Xing put the arrow in his hand on the bow and immediately shot toward Baotian.
Unfortunately, a moment was not a short time for a martial dao master.
Because of that moment of dodging, the distance between the two was suddenly shortened by half, leaving only about five feet.
The Black Edge Arrow shot by Ye Xing had just left the bowstring. Before it could fully exert its strength, it was hit by Baotian's sword and was sent flying to the distance like a cold star.
"Little beast, without distance, let's see what use your bow and arrow can be, hehe …!"
Baotian sneered. The sword in his hand rolled up a cold light, and in an instant, it pierced toward Ye Xing's heart.
Heart Killing Sword!
The speed of this sword had reached the extreme. The sharp sword Qi condensed into a beam, almost like an arrow, and burst out.
Countless warriors were watching the battle between the two with unblinking eyes, and their hearts were extremely nervous.
This was not a competition, but a battle of life and death. Every move and every move was aimed at killing the opponent, which made people's hearts pound.
The distance between them was too short. Facing the attack of the Heart Killing Sword, Ye Xing did not have time to use his archery skills. Even with the Seven Star Steps, it was difficult to avoid the assassination of the sharp sword Qi.
At this moment, the tiger roared and Ye Xing punched out.
His fist, which was wearing an Upper Grade weapon, the silver fine silk glove, was invincible. It blasted on the condensed sword Qi.
Although the sword Qi was sharp, its power was not as strong as the sword itself. It was defeated by Ye Xing's punch.
However, the sword, which was like lightning, followed closely, with a fierce killing intent, instantly pierced toward him.
"Without distance, let's see how you can fight with me, hahahaha …!" Baotian laughed. Victory was in his hands.
