Substitute Marriage (2) – Fish and Bear Paw (2)
Bai Shuang raised her sword and stabbed towards Lu Fei Yue, the cold glowing tip of her sword pointed directly at Lu Fei Yue, but the attack was blocked by a scabbard.
Li Ruo Shui held the sword with both hands, obviously not knowing martial arts, but with dexterity, her attack was half deflected.
Lu Zhi Yao listened carefully and his eyelashes curled up.
She was indeed talented, she even knew how to use her strength to strike.
Lu Fei Yue’s lips were white, sweat was pouring down from the corners of her forehead, and she could only use her sword to support her body. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not in good condition.
Bai Shuang put away her sword and glanced at her, “I’ll give you a chance, get off the ring by yourself, this poison is not strong, the sooner you cure it, the better.”
Lu Fei Yue kept her lips tightly closed and did not speak.
The poison had already been struck, and it is unlikely that she would win again subsequently, but once this opportunity had passed, not only would the mission not be completed, but she would also let Bai Shuang escape.
Did both the fish and the bear paw have to be thrown away.
“She couldn’t compete, I’ll do it.”
Li Ruo Shui stood in front of Lu Fei Yue, somewhat sheepishly squeezing the cold scabbard of her sword and straightening her back to look at the crowd.
“Who are you.” Bai Shuang looked at her with her sword in hand, her eyes contemptuous.
“I’m here to sign up too.” She turned and raised her hand at the registration desk, “Li Ruo Shui.”
Seeing the people from the Zheng Mansion had written down the name, Li Ruo Shui turned her head to look at her.
“The first round is two by two, you still have to fight me for one more round.”
Bai Shuang snorted, her eyes falling on Lu Fei Yue behind her.
“You can’t even hold a sword, so you might as well take her down with you.”
Jiang Nian had long since reached the ring and helped Lu Fei Yue up, the two of them looking worriedly at Li Ruo Shui.
“Don’t worry Sister Lu, you can’t marry, so I’ll go.”
Anyway, the fire grass she needed to cure the poison was also at the Zheng Mansion, so it was a perfect opportunity to get rid of the poison earlier.
Lu Fei Yue raised her eyes to look at Li Ruo Shui, and although she was also not at ease, she still nodded when she saw Lu Zhi Yao who was smiling freely below the stage.
“Be cautious.”
Jiang Nian hurriedly led Lu Fei Yue away, leaving only two people on stage.
Li Ruo Shui took a few steps back, distancing herself from her.
“According to the rules, the person who enters the next round will have to be decided between you and me.”
Void was certain, but after glancing her eyes at Lu Zhi Yao below the stage, Li Ruo Shui inexplicably settled her mind and looked at Bai Shuang with a bit of cunning in her eyes.
She slowly drew the sword in her hand and raised her eyebrow at Bai Shuang: “Look what this is.”
The thin sword gleamed with a cold light, streaks of broken fine lines etched on the blade, splitting the reflected figure into many pieces and appearing somewhat distorted.
As soon as the sword came out, not only did Bai Shuang’s eyes widen, but even the birdsong in the distance sharpened.
“Ooh.” Li Ruo Shui opened her eyes and looked around, surprised with a little amusement.
This was too good to be true, almost like a trained dog hearing a bell.
Without another word, Bai Shuang came with her sword, stabbing straight at her heart, as if she wanted her to die immediately under it.
Li Ruo Shui drew her sword to block, and suddenly a hard object struck her calf, taking her with it as she viciously raised her leg to kick Bai Shuang’s right hand.
Not only herself, but Bai Shuang also did not react and suffered from this kick.
Outsiders thought it was because Li Ruo Shui was powerful, but Bai Shuang knew that just as there was someone behind her, Li Ruo Shui also had an expert behind her to help her.
Looking at the sword again, it was not hard to think of who it was.
Bai Shuang hadn’t seen this person’s face back then, so after looking behind Li Ruo Shui, she still couldn’t find anything wrong.
Li Ruo Shui saw her brows condensed and her expression was heavy as she attacked with her sword, her expression was like a tragic death.
Bai Shuang’s sword was fast, so fast that Li Ruo Shui had no time to react, but she received every move forcefully.
Her arms, her knees, her calves, every place was flooded with pain, and there was no need to guess that this was the handiwork of Lu Zhi Yao.
It was not only Li Ruo Shui who was doubting her life on the field, but also Bai Shuang.
The more she fought, the more puzzled she became, the more resigned she became, and she couldn’t help muttering to herself.
“How is it possible, to make her take the move, it needs to be done in advance, unless he has even predicted my move……”
Thinking of this, a chill ran down her back, and Bai Shuang attacked again, leaving no residual power.
“Ding—”
The two thin swords fought against each other, and Li Ruo Shui caught the move Bai Shuang slashed at, and her cracked sword was unscathed, but instead, she cut a gap in Bai Shuang’s sword.
“Wow!”
Li Ruo Shui couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice as she looked at the gap.
Lu Zhi Yao’s sword looked like it could shatter at any moment, but she didn’t expect it to be this strong!
When she raised her eyes to look at Bai Shuang again, Li Ruo Shui noticed that her eyes were not on herself, but were cruising through the crowd.
There was anger, resignation and fear in her eyes, and even her hands were trembling a little.
Li Ruo Shui paused for a moment and immediately raised her sword with her backhand at her while she was distracted, and as Bai Shuang dodged, she hit her waist without hesitation, knocking her out of the ring with that brute force.
The crowd erupted in unexpected laughter as the long fight ended in such an unexpected way.
Bai Shuang clenched her teeth and looked around. She decided that she wanted at least either the fish or the bear paw, so she wanted to capture Li Ruo Shui back.
She took the sword and stepped into the ring, but halfway through the step, she was hit in the right knee, a sharp pain hit her and she fell back down again.
“Once you fall out of the ring, you have lost. There is no going back.”
The man’s voice was like a spring breeze in March, blowing warmly into her ears, but it made Bai Shuang feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Although she had never seen the man’s face, she had heard him speak in this tone.
The surroundings seemed to be quiet, as if she could only hear the soft footsteps, slowly stopping in front of her, the white hem of the robe was like a clean night-blooming cereus, which only bloomed for a moment and then retracted.
The man leaned over and a soft voice sounded in her ears.
“Or, are you trying to disturb my pleasure?”
