Chapter 43 Iron Bones
Facing Qin Er's provocation, Gong Qing and Xu Zhun could not help but look at each other, with a hint of hesitation in their eyes. They saw the fierce battle between Qin Er and Zheng Songren very clearly, and were particularly afraid of Qin Er's almost desperate fight.

Gong Qing and Xu Zhun thought that although their martial arts skills were slightly better than Zheng Songren's, the difference was not too far. If Zheng Songren lost so easily, then even if they were allowed to fight, they would not have much chance of winning.

They were not afraid of Qin Er, but they did not want to confront a desperate criminal like Qin Er in such an occasion. After all, the Qingcheng Sect came here today to help the Xianwang Mansion. Even if they fought to the death and defeated Qin Er, they were afraid that the Jingfenghuayutu might not fall into the hands of the Qingcheng Sect in the end. In this way, there should be a limit to helping, and there is no need to risk one's life.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Tingxiang ordered people to set up nine large tables on the martial arts field again, and the complete arena was once again presented in front of everyone.

Looking at the hesitant Gong Qing and Xu Zhun, Qin Er raised a sneer of contempt and said, "If even the two of you dare not come up to compete with me, then this Jingfenghuayutu will be mine today..."

"Qin Er, you are being too confident, aren't you? All you have in your eyes are golden palms and silver swords. Am I, Lin Fangda, a vegetarian?"

Qin Er was halfway through his words when Lin Fangda, who was full of resentment, could no longer hold back his anger. He shouted loudly and walked towards the ring regardless of Liu Xunyi's obstruction. Luo Tianjin did not seem to want to stop Lin Fangda's rash move. He looked at Lin Fangda's back calmly, with an indescribable weirdness between his brows.

"Lin Fangda, teach this ignorant big guy a lesson, and let him know that the people from Prince Xian's Mansion are not here for show today." Luo Ningyu seemed quite excited to see Lin Fangda appear, and she shouted loudly without caring about her image.

Lin Fangda waved his hand without looking back, leaped onto the stage, and bowed to Qin Er provocatively, saying, "I am Lin Fangda from the Xianwang Mansion. Please teach me!"

Qin Er did not expect that his provocation to Gong Qing and Xu Zhun failed, but instead provoked Lin Fangda. He frowned slightly, looked Lin Fangda up and down, and said in a cold voice: "You are not afraid of death, but your luck may not be as good as Zheng Songren." Qin Er implied that Zheng Songren was able to escape unscathed just now only by luck, which shows that he still had some strength left in the fight with Zheng Songren and did not use all of it.

Lin Fangda was originally a rough and strong man. Normally, he looked like a giant when standing in front of others. But at this moment, he looked short and thin when standing in front of Qin Er, who was nearly nine feet tall. There was a big gap between the two in momentum.

Under the gaze of Qin Er's sinister and turbid eyes, the muscles on Lin Fang's face twitched subconsciously. He clenched and loosened the fists in his sleeves, and clenched and loosened them again, repeatedly. Only then did the tension in his heart ease a little. He stared at Qin Er and slowly pulled the steel knife out of its sheath with his right hand.

Although they are both swords, Lin Fangda's sword looks much smaller than Qin Er's Hidden Ghost Sword, and its deterrent effect on people is also much weaker.

"I am a life, and you are a life too." Lin Fangda grinned, "You have a knife, and I have a knife too. If you dare to fight, I am not a coward who is afraid of death. Don't talk about bullshit luck or anything like that. It's not certain who will kill whom today!"

In response to Lin Fangda's cruelty, Qin Er finally put away the playful look on his face, slowly raised his left hand and gave Lin Fangda a thumbs up, saying with a half-smile: "You are a real man, you have guts!" Without waiting for Lin Fangda to reply, Qin Er suddenly turned his thumb downward, pointing it directly at the ground, and sneered, "It's a pity that when it comes to being cruel, you are still too young in front of me!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Take this!"

Lin Fangda was completely enraged. Before Qin Er could finish his words, he had already rushed towards Qin Er with a roar and a knife. After taking three steps, his body suddenly soared into the sky. In mid-air, Lin Fangda stretched his body completely, then held the knife handle tightly with both hands, exerted all his strength, and chopped Qin Er's head from top to bottom. Not to mention the power of this move, the momentum of this preemptive move alone was enough to make the spectators secretly shout in pleasure.

"bring it on!"

Qin Er had no intention of dodging at all. Facing Lin Fangda who was falling from the sky like a tiger, he suddenly pulled back his left foot and took a bow stance, making his lower body as solid as a rock. Then he swung his right hand and the Hidden Ghost Sword whizzed up from the bottom, determined to have a head-on collision with Lin Fangda that would cause mountains to collapse and earth to split.

"Keng!"

"Crack!"

With a thunderous sound that shook the earth, Lin Fangda's steel knife and Qin Er's Hidden Ghost Knife collided fiercely without any hesitation. At the moment the two blades touched, Lin Fangda's steel knife was the first to curl, while Qin Er's Hidden Ghost Knife directly embedded into Lin Fangda's blade like a hot knife through butter. The difference between the two weapons was immediately apparent.

However, before everyone could marvel at this earth-shaking clash, a series of wood cracking sounds followed. Almost at the same time, the "ring" under Qin Er's feet suddenly broke into pieces and flew away.

It must be said that Qin Er's reaction was indeed amazing. At the moment when the ring collapsed, he had already soared into the sky, holding the Hidden Ghost Knife with both hands to hold Lin Fangda's steel knife tightly, and pushed Lin Fangda, who was falling from the sky, back into the air. At this moment, the two of them were fighting each other, both holding the knives with both hands, and the two blades were tightly embedded together, forming a canine-tooth-intertwined situation.

Lin Fangda and Qin Er quickly moved closer, almost pressing their chests against the back of the knife to increase the force on the knife.

Lin Fangda gnashed his teeth, his face was grim, and his muscles were shaking violently. Qin Er, on the other hand, kept his lips tightly shut, a vein on his forehead was throbbing back and forth, and his bulging muscles were about to tear his coat apart, looking very scary.

"You are quite strong, but your sword is so weak!"

Qin Er sneered and pushed his arms forward suddenly. Then he swung the Hidden Ghost Knife in his hand forcefully. With a crisp "crack", the Hidden Ghost Knife actually cut Lin Fangda's steel knife into two pieces in the middle.

The fierce force they gathered on the blade was instantly released when the steel blade broke. Qin Er took advantage of the situation and kicked Lin Fangda in the chest. Lin Fangda groaned and flew backwards holding the half-broken steel blade. Qin Er fell down and then stepped on a large table that had not collapsed yet, using the force to pounce forward again.

In mid-air, Qin Er waved the Hidden Ghost Knife with a sinister look in his eyes and headed straight towards Lin Fangda.

Seeing this, Lin Fangda was horrified, staggered and landed on a tilted table behind him. Then, without even trying to steady himself, he quickly swung the half-broken sword and started a fierce battle with Qin Er. At this moment, Lin Fangda was no match for Qin Er. The two stood on the same shaky table and fought at close range. Under the aggressive attack of the Hidden Ghost Sword, Lin Fangda's weakness became more and more obvious. He barely resisted for twenty or thirty rounds with the broken sword. At least four or five bloody wounds were left on his body by the Hidden Ghost Sword. The bright red blood stained his clothes, making Lin Fangda look embarrassed and a little scary.

This scene shocked everyone present. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Fangda had clearly lost the battle and should have jumped off the table to save his life instead of insisting on staying at the table and getting stabbed and bleeding in vain.

But Lin Fangda was such a stubborn person. He knew that he had no chance of winning, but he still refused to admit defeat. Even if he stayed on the table and resisted one blow after another, he insisted on not jumping off the stage.

"No, if we keep fighting like this, Lin Fang will die!" Luo Ningyu turned to look at Luo Tianjin anxiously and begged, "Dad, why don't you go and save him?"

"The rules of the competition require a one-on-one fight, so how can Dad help?" Luo Tianjin said solemnly, "Unless Lin Fangda admits defeat, or Qin Er knocks him off the stage, no one can save him."

Deng Changchuan said: "Looking at the way Qin Er is attacking now, it is clear that he does not want to knock Lin Fang off the stage, but deliberately wants to keep him on the stage and let him suffer the pain of being cut into pieces."

"Lin Fangda!"

Luo Ningyu was so anxious that she didn't care about the rules. She stood up and tried to rush into the martial arts arena, but Deng Changchuan grabbed her first. Luo Ningyu was anxious and annoyed, and she shouted to the arena: "Lin Fangda, admit defeat! Admit defeat quickly! Don't be stupid again!"

"Canglang!"

Just as Luo Ningyu was crying out, Lin Fangda, who was fighting more and more chaotically, was finally caught by Qin Er. The Hidden Ghost Knife flashed across his right arm. Lin Fangda only felt a pain in his wrist, and then the only remaining half of the broken knife flew out of his hand involuntarily and fell far outside the ring.

"Hiss!" A burst of exclamations suddenly broke out from the sidelines. With the broken knife in hand, he could still defend himself, but now that Lin Fangda was unarmed, wouldn't he be a real predator?
Lin Fangda knew that he was in trouble, and kicked Qin Er in the lower abdomen as the broken knife flew out of his hand. Facing the sneak attack, Qin Er's instinctive reaction was to quickly raise his foot to fight back, taking advantage of his long legs, and before Lin Fangda's foot touched him, he kicked Lin Fangda in the lower abdomen, kicking Lin Fangda off the ring, and rolling in a mess far away.

Qin Er seemed to have not expected that Lin Fangda would suddenly fall off the stage. He was stunned for a moment, and then a sinister and bloodthirsty look suddenly appeared in his eyes. Without waiting for Lu Tingxiang to announce the result of the competition, Qin Er roared and leaped high from the stage, slashing with a knife in mid-air, directly chopping Lin Fangda's crown.

"Lin Fangda has already landed, second brother, you must not take his life!" Seeing this scene, Qin Da knew that his brother must be murderous at this moment and wanted to do something extreme, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Brother be careful!"

The sudden change in the situation overwhelmed everyone. A cold shout suddenly came from the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion, and then Liu Xunyi, who was dressed as a servant, suddenly soared into the sky, stepped on the heads of several people standing in front of him, and flew into the venue from behind the crowd. His speed was extremely fast. At the same time his feet landed on the ground, his figure had already swept forward like a meteor chasing the moon, leaving a string of afterimages in the air. Before Qin Er's blade could kill Lin Fangda, he rushed between Lin Fangda and Qin Er, quickly grabbed Lin Fangda's shoulder tightly, and pulled Lin Fangda away from the spot with force. Then there was a loud "bang", and the place where Lin Fangda was just now, several pieces of extremely hard bluestone had been chopped into pieces by Qin Er's knife.

If Liu Xunyi had not rescued him in time, it is hard to imagine what consequences would have been caused by Qin Er's knife falling on Lin Fangda.

"Qin Er, are you going to kill someone?" Liu Xunyi protected the frightened Lin Fangda behind him, glared at Qin Er, and shouted coldly, "He has already landed, how can you continue to kill him?"

"Where did you come from, you brat, to dare to teach your grandpa a lesson? I think you are tired of living!" Qin Er seemed extremely angry about his mistake just now. He stared at Liu Xunyi with vicious eyes and scolded him.

"Master Qin!" Deng Changchuan had already stepped onto the stage, and asked angrily, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this matter?"

Qin Da saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted at Qin Er, then stood up and bowed to Deng Changchuan to apologize, "My second brother is very murderous, and it is indeed his fault. I apologize to Lord Luo and Brother Lin! I apologize!" Qin Da bowed first, then turned to Lu Tingxiang and said, "Mr. Lu, Qin Er violated the rules just now and is no longer qualified to stand on the ring. This round is considered Qin Er's loss."

After saying that, Qin Da's eyes turned cold, and he shouted at the angry Qin Er: "Get down here right now!"

"Wait a moment!"

Just when Qin Er was about to leave in indignation, Liu Xunyi suddenly stopped him and said, "You beat my brother like this and you want to walk away. How can such a good thing happen in this world?"

As soon as Liu Xunyi said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Qin Er was stunned for a moment, then stopped, raised a sneer of contempt at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Then what do you want?"

Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, Liu Xunyi slowly walked up to Qin Er and stood face to face with him. They looked into each other's eyes without any fear, with a cold light flickering in his eyes.

"Please, Master Lu, reset the arena. I want to take over from my elder brother and ask for advice from the Hexi Qin Clan's top tactics!"
