Chapter 191: Fighting against Lame Knife
As Qin Ming expected, Qin San could not last more than thirty rounds at the hands of Liu Xunyi.

In the seventeenth round of the fight between the two, Qin San was already covered in wounds, exhausted, and completely defeated.

Liu Xunyi had already guessed Qin San's intention, so he attacked without mercy. With the force of thunder and lightning, he chased and hit Qin San, making it impossible for him to dodge or defend himself. Although it was only a dozen rounds, it made Qin San survive a life-or-death struggle, which was unforgettable.

"Good martial arts!"

Qin Ming sighed subconsciously. As soon as he said this, Qin Da, Qin Er and others behind him all looked shocked. Liu Xunyi was the opponent of the Qin family, but he was praised by Qin Ming, which showed that his martial arts were really amazing and not just for nothing.

Qin San, covered in wounds, half-knelt in the middle of the field, sweating and panting, but his eyes were still fiercely glaring at Liu Xunyi, who looked indifferent.

Liu Xunyi did not chase him, but just stood in front of Qin San silently, looking at him calmly. His eyes were neither happy nor angry, but they were indescribably eerie and terrifying.

“Liu Xunyi…” Qin San growled with gritted teeth, “I would rather die than retreat today…”

"Qin San!"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Tianjiu suddenly said, "Back off!" Although he was giving orders to Qin San, his eyes were staring at Liu Xunyi without blinking.

"But……"

"If you keep fighting, you will surely die." Qin Tianjiu's voice was as calm as water. At the same time, he stood up and limped towards the field, saying as he walked, "You have already revealed your flaws in front of him. It will be meaningless to continue to stalemate. You should go down and heal your wounds!"

Without waiting for Qin San to refute, Qin Ming ordered Qin Da and Qin Er to forcibly take Qin San off the field.

After a while, only Qin Tianjiu and Liu Xunyi were left in the huge Manjusri Dharma Field.

The wind was blowing and the clouds were moving. A huge dark cloud slowly floated over the execution ground, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, making the world dim again.

The strong wind blew the robes of Liu Xunyi and Qin Tianjiu up and down, making a rustling sound. The flowers, leaves, and dust danced in the wind, swirling between the two of them.

At this moment, everything in the world seemed to be raging and surging, except Liu Xunyi and Qin Tianjiu, who stood opposite each other like two stone sculptures, motionless.

"Seventh Master, what do they mean by this?" Lin Fangda asked Murong Bai with curiosity, "It's been an incense stick of time, why are they standing there motionless? They don't make any moves, and they don't say anything?"

Murong Bai looked at the two people in the arena with deep eyes, and said quietly: "This is the contest between masters. No one dares to act rashly before understanding the opponent's intentions. Once the martial arts are practiced to their level, as long as the opponent makes the slightest mistake, it is enough to take his life in an instant. Taking the initiative is not suitable for today's competition, because whoever strikes first may be the first to expose his own flaws and be taken advantage of by the opponent. And using stillness to control movement... although it cannot quickly defeat the enemy, it is the safest way to deal with it when fighting for the first time. Don't think that this confrontation is easy, in fact, the degree of danger is no less than hand-to-hand combat. Not only do they have to concentrate their minds and not allow the slightest slackness, but they also require their hands, eyes, body, skills, and steps to be at the peak state of 'still as a virgin, moving like a rabbit'. If they don't strike, it's fine. Once they strike, it's like a flash of lightning. Such a state is extremely mentally exhausting. Now it depends on which of them can't bear it first and then strike first."

"Then...what if I strike first?" Xu Heng couldn't help but ask.

"In a competition between two strangers, if you lose your temper and rush to attack first, it is equivalent to..." Murong Bai hesitated for a long time before slowly saying with a complicated look in his eyes, "Half lost."

"hiss!"

Hearing this, Lin Fangda and the others were immediately terrified. At the same time, they looked at Liu Xunyi with a look of disbelief and shock. They had long known that Liu Xunyi's martial arts were good, but they had never expected that his martial arts would be so unfathomable.

Lin Fangda looked at Murong Bai with a complicated expression and said hesitantly, "Then...how does Xun Yi's martial arts compare to Qi Ye's?"

"It's hard to say!" Murong Bai answered frankly, "Based on the feeling he gives me... he should be no weaker than me."

Until this moment, Lin Fangda and others finally understood why Luo Tianjin sent Liu Xunyi to help the Pan family. Not only because of his identity and status, but also because Luo Tianjin had already seen that Liu Xunyi's martial arts were as high as the three fan holders, and even... he could fight against the seven heroes of the Xianwang Mansion.

“No wonder the Palace Master thinks highly of the Sect Master. It turns out he has a keen eye for talent!” Tang Cong exclaimed sincerely.

When Lin Fangda and Xu Heng, the two new and old 'masters', heard these words, they felt an indescribable bitter taste.

At this moment, except for Lin Fangda and the others who were whispering, Luo Tianjin, Qin Ming, Xuan Ming, Song Yu and the others were all staring at the two people in the field with serious expressions. They were all masters among masters, and naturally knew how many dangers and crises were hidden between Liu Xunyi and Qin Tianjiu at this time.

The confrontation on the field lasted for a full hour.

Qin Tianjiu's face was gloomy, staring at Liu Xunyi's eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly. On the other hand, Liu Xunyi looked solemn, his breathing was a little rapid, and his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

Obviously, both of them had been exhausted mentally, and the undercurrent of fighting spirit was on the verge of collapse.

"Boy, what are you waiting for?" Qin Tianjiu suddenly let out a sinister laugh, "I'm not like Qin San. It's not that easy for you to find my flaws."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Liu Xunyi asked, "Didn't you also fail to see my flaw? Otherwise, why would you have waited until now?"

"Liu Xunyi, you are more interesting than I thought." Qin Tianjiu said with a half-smile, "Why don't you listen to my advice and don't wade into this muddy water. Follow Lord Luo and you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"Really?" Liu Xunyi smiled helplessly and said, "But you are not what I imagined... quite the same. Someone in Yingchuan is impersonating you, committing crimes, killing people and setting fires. Aren't you curious about who that person is?"

"Not curious." Qin Tianjiu snorted and laughed, "Boy, I have already seen through your mind. Don't try to deceive me with your sweet words. Youth is youth after all. You are now at the end of your strength. You will collapse in the blink of an eye. But I... still have enough patience to hold out with you for another hour."

After saying that, Qin Tianjiu actually laughed sinisterly without any scruples. His laughter sounded like the roar of an evil ghost, which made people feel cold.

"You might as well give it a try!"

For some reason, Liu Xunyi, who was always calm and composed, suddenly flew into a rage. He shouted, swung his sword, and rushed towards Qin Tianjiu first.

Seeing this, Song Yu, Murong Bai, Yuan Kong, Yuan Ku and others all sighed with regret. However, Xuan Ming, Luo Tianjin and Qin Ming also had a change of expression in their eyes, but they did not say a word.

Liu Xunyi thrust out his sword, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, like a plow through the courtyard and sweeping the caves. Before the sword arrived, the sword energy in the sky had already swept in like a raging wave, instantly blowing up a large piece of the thousands of stone bricks in the Wenshu Dharma Field. The broken stone bricks smashed towards the motionless Qin Tianjiu like a violent storm.

"Hmph! Such a trifle!" Before everyone could see Qin Tianjiu's sword, several sharp blades had already crisscrossed out. In the blink of an eye, the sharp wind of the sword shattered all the thousands of bricks that were whistling towards him, turning them into a piece of powder that floated between heaven and earth with the wind.

The rain of bricks suddenly stopped, and a sharp sword suddenly came and went straight to the center of Qin Tianjiu's eyebrows.

Liu Xunyi took the steps of Deng Ping Du Shui Lianhuan, and was still several meters away a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed in front of Qin Tianjiu, so fast that the afterimage ten meters away had not yet dissipated. This kind of lightness and skill made everyone on the sidelines secretly praise, their eyes sparkling.

His steps are as swift as a dragonfly skimming the water, his sword is as sharp as a piercing arrow to pierce a lice, his energy is as strong as a mountain crushing an egg, and his momentum is as fierce as stirring up the sea and overturning a river.

Liu Xunyi's sword drove thunder and lightning, breaking through the hard and strong. A few feet away, the sword energy had already distorted Qin Tianjiu's face hideously.

"Well done!"

Qin Tianjiu shouted loudly and stabbed out with the short knife in his hand, as fast as wind and lightning, and as fierce as rain and thunder.

In the blink of an eye, the tip of the knife hit the tip of the sword accurately. With a sharp and piercing sound, the sword and the sword collided, and a dazzling flash of fire burst out.

Then, the dagger actually went straight in along the sword tip, splitting the sword in half like a hot knife through butter.

In the blink of an eye, the sword split into two like a bamboo, and the short knife came in an instant. Liu Xunyi never expected that he would suffer a loss in the first place because of the weapon. He was immediately shocked and subconsciously threw the hilt of the sword out of his hand.

However, at the moment when Liu Xunyi threw the hilt of the sword, the dagger quickly shaved the hilt into iron mud.

If Liu Xunyi had not reacted in time, his right hand would have been gone long ago.

"Oops!"

Seeing this, Murong Bai couldn't help but yell. Lin Fangda, Xu Heng and others were even more pale, so frightened that they couldn't even scream.

In a flash, at the moment when Liu Xunyi lost his sword, Qin Tianjiu had already come to kill him mercilessly. He drew his sword quickly and fiercely, and the force of his sword changed in an instant, wishing he could stir up the air to make it overturn the sea. His martial arts skills were far beyond Qin San's.

Liu Xunyi was in a panic and could only dodge and retreat. Without his weapon, he didn't even have the qualifications to resist, and could only run around in the Manjusri Dharma Field, dodging and fleeing.

Even so, Qin Tianjiu still left several wounds on Liu Xunyi's body, and blood was gushing out, unknowingly staining his robes. At this moment, Liu Xunyi was like a blood gourd that kept wandering around the scene, shocking, horrible, and unbearable to look at.

"Wuji Sword!" Luo Tianjin suddenly shouted.

Murong Bai's expression changed, and he quickly pulled out the Wuji Sword from behind Luo Tianjin, and threw it into the air without hesitation, while shouting, "Liu Xunyi, take the sword!"

In the field, Liu Xunyi's face was filled with joy. He moved his feet and soared into the sky. With a move of chasing the moon, he shot directly in the direction where the Wuji Sword came from.

"It's not that easy!"

Qin Tianjiu snorted coldly, stepped forward, and followed closely after Liu Xunyi.

In mid-air, the blade flashed, and sharp and swift knife shadows covered the sky and whizzed towards him. Seeing the bad situation, Liu Xunyi dodged left and right in a hurry, but there were still seven or eight blood marks on his back.

Liu Xunyi endured the severe pain, accelerated his body again, and with a move of his sky-reaching hand, he reached for the Wuji sword that fell from the sky.

At this time, Qin Tianjiu had already come up behind him. He mercilessly stabbed Liu Xunyi in the back with his knife. Liu Xunyi hurriedly turned in the air, and his body rose several feet again. At the same time, Liu Xunyi turned his waist and kicked Qin Tianjiu's head fiercely.

Unexpectedly, Qin Tianjiu was prepared. Just when Liu Xunyi kicked him, Qin Tianjiu's eyes suddenly became fierce, and then he turned his wrist, and the short knife rushed straight over his head and headed towards Liu Xunyi's feet.

"puff!"

With a sound of flesh being torn apart, the short knife pierced into Liu Xunyi's foot, and the scarlet tip of the knife protruded from the top of his foot. Qin Tianjiu's knife directly pierced through Liu Xunyi's right foot.

Instantly, a piercing pain struck Liu Xunyi's mind, causing his face to change and he took a deep breath. But even so, Liu Xunyi still did not give up on taking the sword. With the force of the dagger's impact, his right foot suddenly jumped up. When his right foot was pulled out of the dagger, his right hand also firmly grasped the Wuji Sword.

With a sword in hand, Liu Xunyi turned around and stabbed fiercely. Qin Tianjiu, who was in mid-air, quickly swung his sword to block it. With a loud "clang" sound, the Wuji Sword hit the blade heavily. The huge force instantly knocked Qin Tianjiu to the ground, and Liu Xunyi also took advantage of the situation to fly back quickly, flipped several times in the air, and landed far away in front of Qin Tianjiu.

When he landed, his right foot was injured and painful, so he couldn't stand steadily for a moment and almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, under Liu Xunyi's feet, a pool of bright red blood was slowly flowing out.

"Boy, you're lucky!" Qin Tianjiu said sarcastically.

Liu Xunyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and laughed loudly: "I don't know how good your swordsmanship is, but your skill in taking advantage of others' misfortunes is very impressive."

Qin Tianjiu smiled coldly and said, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Now I am competing with you in martial arts, do you think it is a game of chess? In a fight, no one cares about your means, only the final result. This is a truth that I will teach you, I guarantee that you will benefit from it for the rest of your life."

"Really? Regardless of the means, only the results matter?" Liu Xunyi's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he said to himself, "I felt a little guilty at first, but after listening to your words, I suddenly understood."

After saying that, Liu Xunyi suddenly raised his head, and a strange light flashed in his deep and bright eyes.

Under Qin Tianjiu's suspicious gaze, Liu Xunyi suddenly bowed to him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I am grateful for your guidance!"
