"Qiang——"

When the time was up, the hourglass had just finished dripping, and before the referee could even finish his words, Fang Qi flew his sword out of its sheath, with a cold light, directly towards Qin Ling's face.

Qin Ling was slower. He obeyed the rules and did not attack first, so he was a beat slower and was already at a disadvantage in the blink of an eye.

The referee obviously discovered Fang Qi's minor violation. The other party was a little angry, but after all, it was not a big deal, and there was no need to get into a big fight. He pursed his lips and planned to issue a warning on his own later to prevent this person from becoming addicted to violations.

The shortcomings of being slightly at a disadvantage were immediately revealed. Qin Ling completely lost the opportunity and became the most passive one. He could only keep dodging Fang Qi's "deadly" sword moves.

Qin Ling and Fang Qi used to be good friends, so how could he not understand each other? It was precisely because he knew Fang Qi that he felt more and more desperate. They had often fought against each other in the past.

Sure enough, he was defeated in the first move. He always knew that the opponent liked to rush to attack and refused to follow the rules. No matter how many times they fought, Fang Qi would always be the one to grab the move, and he would always win.

The person who can't be taught a lesson.

Look, this person knows a lot about him, and what he knows makes him feel chilled.

Qin Ling pursed his lips, suddenly changed his moves, and used his sword horizontally to touch the opponent's sword. His spiritual power was divided at the first touch, and neither of them had any further spiritual power competition to avoid wasting it.

Suddenly, Qin Ling, who was about to change his attack, abruptly changed his attack and struck Fang Qi in the face in the opposite direction.

From their angle in Ningxia, we could clearly see the surprise on Fang Qi's face. Probably he didn't expect that the other party would make such a change.

The two of them have fought in thousands of battles before, and they are both quite familiar with each other's moves. Although they both hit the target, they are really familiar enough to be able to guess the other's next moves.

From the beginning, they all had a tacit understanding and did not choose fancy moves. After all, it was useless if they were all familiar with the moves. Instead, they used basic sword moves to compete with each other, and mixed in some sword moves from time to time, so that they would not be too familiar with each other.

It was cracked immediately.

So although it seems that Qinling is at a disadvantage, in fact the two of them maintain a delicate balance. They are both spying on each other, going deep into the flesh, and waiting for the opportunity to kill with one blow.

Because they know the other party so well, they can subconsciously react to what the other party wants to do next. Conventional fighting cannot determine the outcome. They have to change their moves, change, and find gaps to defeat the opponent.

After all, the two have similar cultivation levels, so it is impossible to defeat each other casually.

But Fang Qi himself didn't expect that Qin Ling would be the first to change his tactics.

He has a tactful personality and is eccentric in his behavior. He dislikes following rules and unscrupulous means. Therefore, Qin Ling, who has always been a gentleman, will not be his opponent, even if everyone's cultivation levels are almost the same.

But today Qinling made changes first, trying to gain an advantage. This was an astonishing change. If it weren't for the wrong location, Fang Qi would have been surprised.

It seems that this person is really obsessed with this competition. He is even willing to forcefully change his fighting style. He should regard this competition as a life-saving straw.

But……

Brother Qin, do you know that it is easy to change a country but hard to change one's nature? Your character is your biggest weakness.

Fang Qi lowered his waist and calmly avoided the opponent's unexpected move, and did not care about the bunch of hair that was severely chopped off.

The next moment, Fang Qi's sword struck Qin Ling's back at a strange angle. The force was not small. If it hit him, he would probably suffer serious internal injuries and would definitely bleed.

Although Qin Ling has noticed it, he can't escape. If he escapes, it will only be the next round of suppression.

In this case, if he didn't stop doing anything, he would just use this offensive... Qin Ling gritted his teeth and forced the sword to change direction, hoping to control the sword and stab Fang Qi in the back.

Now it all depends on who can move faster and knock down the opponent first. Of course, there is also the possibility of losing both sides.

God is still favoring Qinling. His sword seems to be faster and is about to stab Zhong Fang in the lower back. With this stab, their situation may be reversed, because Fang Qi may move because of the pain.

However, at this time, Fang Qi made a move. It was not the sword that moved, but the man's move. His body moved slightly to the side, and then the sword Qin Ling originally pointed at his waist was pointed directly at his heart.

If he didn't stop, if he stabbed Fang Qi with this sword, he would be able to ascend directly to heaven. How could Qin Ling do this? How could he do it?

No matter how much he hates the other person, he can't take away a person's life. He can't just watch Fang Qi be accidentally killed like this. He will never be able to forgive himself in his life. What's more, he was once friends with the other person.

Even if he didn't hold him accountable afterwards, how could he allow himself to make such a serious mistake?

There are rules for the sword competition, regardless of death or injury, because everyone voluntarily participates in the competition to compete for fame and fortune. Since it is a sword competition, death and injury are inevitable, so the rules of the competition cannot be held accountable.

Therefore, if Qin Ling accidentally killed Fang Qi at the scene, he would not be held responsible. Of course, the premise is that the two of them fought legitimately and did not use any underhanded tactics. Otherwise, the family of the deceased can still be held accountable.

But how could Qin Ling do this? He gave in and gave up the possibility of victory at this moment. Because he did not want his sword to drink the blood of this former friend.

In a hurry, and risking the backlash of his spiritual power, Qin Ling hurriedly withdrew his sword, forcefully changed the direction of the sword, and avoided the vital part. But after forcibly changing the direction, the sword could no longer be controlled, and it moved towards

It flew sideways to the outside of the competition arena.

"Tear-"

The sound of flesh being stabbed came from the arena. A figure stiffened in mid-air, trembling all over, and bright red blood dripped from the sword.

Fang Qi's sword pierced Qin Ling's abdomen, or even the opposite direction. Blood flowed out from the wound in a steady stream, and soon the arena was covered with bright red.

Outside the competition arena and outside the screen——

It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Only the heavy breathing of the man on the stage was heard. Qin Ling's sword lay quietly under the stage, not knowing how much pain his master was suffering.

"Uh..." Qin Ling couldn't help but spit out a big mouthful of blood, face down, and collapsed to the ground.

"Time -" There was another sound of skin and flesh tearing, which made people tremble with fear and make their flesh sore. Fang Qi pulled out the sword from Qin Ling's body with a calm expression, as if he had just done a normal thing.

But the blood-red stain on the sword's edge and the debris stuck to it told everyone what this man had just done.

Does this guy have a heart?!

Everyone who saw this fight was stunned. Maybe the person involved didn't know what happened just now, but they, the onlookers, could clearly see it.
Chapter completed!
