Summary of the previous chapter: Three versus three victory, but Ma Xiaoquan proposed another fight with Li Zongyu’s son...
In this moment of confusion, Li Yao's fist hit Ma Xiaoquan's chest hard.
Although Ma Xiaoquan shrunk his chest at that moment, he was still hit by Li Yao's punch.
"Poof" Ma Xiaoquan spit out a mouthful of blood, took a few steps back, and stabilized his body.
This time Li Yao didn't stop, he succeeded with one move, and then used the eagle claw again, straight into Ma Xiao's eyes.
"This guy is so vicious. He's so cruel. I can't do it without giving him a lesson!" Ma Xiaoquan blocked Li Yao's eagle claws and secretly made up his mind.
...
Li Yao took a step back, turned his hands, and two bright hand knives shook out from his sleeve pockets.
Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly and said: "Comparing weapons, I'm afraid..."
Wei Zhongxian said quickly: "Your Majesty, you don't know something about this. There will always be winners and losers in competitions. Regardless of winning or losing, there may be casualties. If Ma Xiaoquan is injured or killed in this competition, Your Majesty, you can't pity him. After all,
His skills are not as good as others, and besides, the person who can defeat Ma Xiaoquan, wouldn’t that be the next Deacon of the Imperial Guard? Hehe.”
Zhu Youxiao said oh, nodded and said: "Yes, but I still believe that Ma Aiqing will not lose."
Wei Zhongxian was afraid that Zhu Youxiao would be soft-hearted, so he said: "Your Majesty, how about you give an order that weapons can be used, and there is no limit on casualties?"
"this......"
Li Zongyu also raised his hand and petitioned: "Your Majesty, the son of a humble minister is also a general. If he is lucky enough to survive, he will definitely become the emperor and help our Ming Dynasty to solve the problems!"
Zhu Youxiao sighed: "Well, then we are allowed to use weapons."
"Yes." Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu looked at each other, and the two of them happily shouted in the examination room, "The emperor has an order. There can be casualties in the examination room... and weapons can also be used."
Li Yao laughed when he heard this. Just now he was worried that he would be reprimanded if he showed his sword, but now it seems that he is still in an advantageous position as he holds the weapon first.
Li Yao grinned ferociously, waved his hands, and attacked Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed, and with a thought in his heart, a light blue flame emerged from his right hand. Then, the light blue flame quickly solidified and turned into the shape of a dagger.
At this time, Li Yao's two-handed sword had already attacked and was about to hit Ma Xiaoquan's face.
Ma Xiaoquan raised his hand to block it, and heard a "ding" sound as his flame dagger collided with Li Yao's hand knife.
"Tsk" Li Yao's knife touched Ma Xiaoquan's flame dagger and made a corrosive sound. Li Yao sensed something was wrong and quickly withdrew his hand and jumped back.
How could Ma Xiaoquan give Li Yao another chance? Just when the opponent was about to jump back, Ma Xiaoquan reached out hurriedly and grabbed Li Yao's arm.
"Tell you to hide from me!" Ma Xiaoquan swung out his left hand and slapped Li Yao hard on the right side of his face.
Not to be outdone, Li Yao responded with a punch. Unfortunately, Ma Xiaoquan had noticed it early and used his right hand to block Li Yao's angry punch with a flame dagger.
"Uh-huh." Li Yao's right fist hit the flame dagger without any deviation. In an instant, two of his fingers were burned black.
Li Yao retracted his right hand in pain and whipped out a whip kick, attacking Ma Xiaoquan's lower body.
Ma Xiaoquan loosened his grip and pushed Li Yao out with another push. Li Yao's whip kick was also easily resolved by Ma Xiaoquan.
"Wha...what?" Outside the competition venue, Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu were stunned. They were sure of winning just now. Why did the plot turn around in just a few breaths?
Wei Zhongxian came to his senses and shouted into the competition venue: "Quick, back up! He has flames on his hands..."
Li Yao also saw it, but the two fingers on his right hand had been burned black. Although it was nothing serious, he couldn't swallow this breath.
...
Li Yao is worthy of being Li Yao, worthy of being the top martial artist. This minor injury will not dampen his morale, but will only make him furious.
"Uh-huh" Li Yao angrily tore off the clothes on his upper body, revealing his strong muscles.
"Ah!" Everyone in the audience was extremely surprised when they saw it, because...Li Yao's upper body was covered with scars. There seemed to be countless large and small ones, and among the scars, the most obvious one was on the back of his heart.
The scar is as big as a bowl and runs through it.
Ma Xiaoquan was also a little surprised. From the scars on Li Yao's body, we could see how much hard work he had put in to achieve what he has achieved today.
Li Zongyu sneered and said to himself: "In order to train him, I spent countless efforts, hum..."
Li Yao seemed to hear Li Zongyu talking to himself. His body moved slightly, but his eyes were fixed on Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan took a deep breath, smiled and dropped the flame dagger in his hand on the ground.
"Ma Xiaoquan, you!" Li Qinghan screamed when he saw Ma Xiaoquan throw away the flame dagger.
Li Zongyu clapped his hands and was about to tell his son to take the opportunity to kill Ma Xiaoquan. At this moment, Li Yao also dropped the knife in his hand.
"Yao'er, what are you doing?" Li Zongyu roared angrily.
Li Yao turned his head and said, "Father, Ma Xiaoquan is a respectable opponent, so I plan to fight him bare-handed."
"You bastard, you beast! Pick up the weapons for me!" Li Zongyu ordered.
Li Yao didn't listen to him, but clenched his fists.
"Okay, you beast, I have raised you for so long in vain. I gave you food and drink, but you dare to disobey my orders. Okay, very good, you beast, bastard!"
Li Yao's face was livid, and he seemed to mind the last word Li Zongyu scolded him, but others should not have too many distracting thoughts in the competition venue.
Li Yao took a breath and calmed down.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and asked, "Have you calmed down?"
Li Yao nodded: "Thank you!"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and made a gesture of invitation: "Okay, then I'm going to attack!"
Li Yao nodded: "Come on!"
The two attacked at the same time and rushed towards each other.
...
This was a play-off match. It was originally an unfair game, but Ma Xiaoquan's small move of throwing a dagger turned the play-off game into a fair game.
Ma Xiaoquan's martial arts recuperation reminded Li Yao of something that his master told him when he was very young.
Li Yao's master once said that learning martial arts is not to bully others, but to protect others. If one day, you can meet someone who has better martial arts skills than yourself, you must become friends with him, if that person is worthy.
If you have a deep friendship with him, be friends with him...and even be loyal to him, because such a person is worthy of trust.
Li Yao missed his master very much. Although his master was very harsh to him, he would never let him down. Unfortunately... his father poisoned his master to death for his so-called great cause...
