Chapter 44 Blood for blood
"My dear brother, Qin Er is not easy to deal with. You must be careful." Lin Fangda, who was covered in blood, did not forget to give worried instructions to Liu Xunyi before being helped away.

"Brother, just go down and recover. Don't worry about me." Liu Xunyi comforted him softly. He glanced at Qin Er, who had a gloomy look, and added meaningfully, "I will definitely get back your face, brother."

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, but seeing how nervous he is about Lin Fangda, he must be from the Xianwang Mansion."

"When did such a master appear in the Xianwang Mansion? You saw the Qinggong he displayed just now. Such a fast speed is not something that anyone can display."

"But judging from his attire, he doesn't look like an important person. He's just a servant serving tea and water."

"Bullshit, have you ever seen a tea server perform such a high-level Qinggong like that? Can you? Anyway, I don't have that ability."

……

For a moment, everyone in the martial arts arena looked at Liu Xunyi curiously, and whispered to each other, asking each other about Liu Xunyi's background. But it was obvious that no one present knew him, let alone asking about his background, and even his name was unknown.

Luo Tianjin frowned slightly and looked at Liu Xunyi in doubt. He recognized that the clothes Liu Xunyi was wearing came from the Xianwang Mansion, but he had no impression of Liu Xunyi. Luo Tianjin looked suspicious. Deng Changchuan stepped forward and whispered, "Master, this person was at the Sushui Pavilion last night..."

After Deng Changchuan explained how Liu Xunyi met Lin Fangda and Luo Ningyu, Luo Tianjin suddenly realized something, and when he looked at Liu Xunyi, an intriguing gleam appeared in his eyes.

The servants of the Lu Mansion had already rearranged the arena, and Si Kongzhu was whispering to Lu Tingxiang in private, and it was obvious that he had told Lu Tingxiang everything that happened to Liu Xunyi last night. While listening, Lu Tingxiang looked at Liu Xunyi quietly with his deep eyes, and then turned his head and glanced at Bai Shuang who was standing in the distance with a slightly embarrassed look, and a trace of consideration appeared between his eyebrows.

After a while, the noise in the field gradually died down. Lu Tingxiang stood up slowly with a smile on his face. He first bowed slightly to Luo Tianjin and Qin Da, then asked Liu Xunyi with a smile: "I wonder who you are..."

"My name is Liu Xunyi." Liu Xunyi did not dare to act rashly in front of all the heroes in the world, and hurriedly introduced himself.

"Oh! It's Brother Liu." Lu Tingxiang looked at Liu Xunyi meaningfully and said with a smile, "You just said that you wanted to challenge the Second Master of the Qin Family, but I don't know what sect Brother Liu belongs to?"

"This..." When asked by Lu Tingxiang, Liu Xunyi immediately looked hesitant. After all, he had not made his position clear to Luo Tianjin before. If he rashly said that he was from the Xianwang Mansion at this moment, and Luo Tianjin did not admit it, wouldn't Liu Xunyi be asking for trouble?

Just when Liu Xunyi was hesitant and indecisive, Luo Tianjin smiled and said, "Liu Xunyi is a servant of my mansion. I didn't know the rules just now and rashly came on stage. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Oh?" Lu Tingxiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, because he had just learned from Si Kongzhu's story that Liu Xunyi was not from the Xianwang Mansion, but now he saw Luo Tianjin boldly admit it, and he couldn't help but speculate in his heart, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Brother Liu was actually a master of the Xianwang Mansion. Please forgive me for my poor eyesight and not being able to recognize him just now."

"It's not surprising that Master Lu doesn't know him." Luo Ningyu had been brooding over Lin Fangda's matter. She was holding her breath at the moment, and her words were also strange and elusive, making people feel very uncomfortable. "This Liu Xunyi is just a servant who cooks and cooks in my house. He has no skills, let alone fame. It's a compliment to say that he is a nobody. There are at least 800 servants like him in our house. Not to mention that Master Lu doesn't know him, even if I, as the master, suddenly see him, I may not be able to recognize who he is. After all, there is really no need to remember the name of a mere servant. Master Lu, don't you think so? Haha..."

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel bitter. He certainly understood what Luo Ningyu meant. She wanted to first say that he was worthless, and then defeat Qin Er as a servant of the Xianwang Mansion, boost the ambition of the Xianwang Mansion, and thus destroy the prestige of the Hexi Qin family. Her idea was certainly relieving, but she actually said such a bad thing about Liu Xunyi. How could Liu Xunyi feel comfortable?

"Miss Luo, you are too modest. Just based on Brother Liu's light skill of stepping on duckweed to cross the water, it is enough to open our eyes. How can he be an ordinary servant?" Lu Tingxiang greeted, but he did not argue with Luo Ningyu. Instead, he turned his eyes to the crowd in all directions and said loudly: "Just now, Brother Liu wanted to take over Brother Lin's competition with the second master of the Qin family, but Master Qin also said that he was willing to admit defeat. What do you think?"

"If we allow Second Master Qin to admit defeat, he will be unwilling to accept it. Instead of this, it is better to let Brother Liu go on stage and compete with Second Master Qin." Tang Ren said with a smile, "I wonder what Palace Master Luo thinks?"

Tang Ren certainly hoped that Qin Er could continue to stay on the stage, so that their four great families would have a better chance of winning. If Qin Er admitted defeat, the next one to go on stage would probably be his Shuzhong Tang Sect.

"I don't want to pursue the matter of Lin Fangda too much." Luo Tianjin said with a smile, "This is the Lu Mansion after all, so let Master Lu decide on this matter!"

Lu Tingxiang bowed and said: "In this case, why not just follow Brother Liu's wish. Brother Liu is from the Xianwang Mansion, so he should give face to Lord Luo!" Lu Tingxiang's words were beautifully said, which not only fulfilled his inner wish, but also made Luo Tianjin remember him as a favor.

"Boy, it seems your luck is not very good." Qin Er stared at Liu Xunyi fiercely and sneered, "You wanted to be a verbal hero, but you didn't expect that Mr. Lu would really help you. Now it's too late to regret. I will make your end ten times worse than Lin Fangda's!" After that, Qin Er jumped onto the stage first with a flash of his body, and the hidden ghost knife in his hand stabbed heavily on the table with a "clang", making a series of heart-pounding sounds.

Liu Xunyi flew onto the stage, looked around, bowed and said with a smile: "I wonder which hero can lend me my sword?" Since Liu Xunyi was dressed as a servant today, he did not carry a sword with him.

"Use mine!"

Xu Zhun, the right-hand man of Qingcheng, shouted loudly, and then he waved his arm lightly. A silver light suddenly shot out from the scabbard, flashed a dazzling arc in the air, and was finally caught steadily in Liu Xunyi's hand.

Gold Palm and Silver Sword, Xu Zhun became famous in the martial arts world with his sword, so his sword is also extraordinary. This sword is called "Silver Dragon", the sword is one inch and seven inches wide, the blade is three feet and three inches long, the whole body is bright silver, and there is a lifelike silver dragon pattern engraved on the sword body, so it is named Silver Dragon Sword.

The reason why Lin Fangda was defeated so quickly just now was mainly because his sword was too ordinary, and Brigadier General Xu lent Liu Xunyi the Silver Dragon Sword, which was a great help to him.

After Liu Xunyi received the sword, he danced in the air, stabbing out a series of sword flowers like flowing water. Finally, he put away the sword and stood up, with a look of emotion on his face. He bowed to Xu Zhun and said, "It's really a good sword! Thank you!"

“No matter how good a sword is, it depends on who it is used for.” Qin Er said with a sinister smile, “Boy, don’t think you can show off your sword skills just because you have practiced sword at home for two days. I think you are far inferior to Zhou Mu. You are far from being able to learn from others and become a hero!” Qin Er is almost two heads taller than Liu Xunyi, and his thick arm is almost as thick as his thigh. No wonder Liu Xunyi is looked down upon by Qin Er.

"Eleven knives." Liu Xunyi ignored Qin Er's threat and muttered to himself.

"What did you say?"

Liu Xunyi smiled and said, "You just stabbed my elder brother eleven times, so I will leave eleven bloody wounds on you. But don't worry, I will only give you a taste of your own medicine and will not hurt your life."

"You are so arrogant! I want to see how you can return the favor."

Qin Er was completely enraged by Liu Xunyi's self-righteous look. He roared, stomped the ring with his right foot, and leaped out, like an enraged tiger, and pounced on Liu Xunyi fiercely.

In the air, there were many knife shadows, ghosts howling, wolves howling, cold light splashing, like a violent storm, like thunder and lightning. Qin Er's words just now were right. His attack against Liu Xunyi at this moment was several times more fierce than when he attacked Lin Fangda. If Liu Xunyi's martial arts were not good enough, his end would definitely be more miserable than Lin Fangda.

"He is just an unknown person, why would Mr. Qin use a killing move right at the beginning?"

The faces of the people watching the fight were all horrified, and they couldn't help but feel sympathy when they looked at Liu Xunyi.

"It's quite powerful, but unfortunately it's not very accurate."

Facing the ferocious Qin Er, Liu Xunyi snorted lightly, then moved his feet. He was not afraid of the roaring knife shadow and went straight forward to meet him.

"Clang clang clang!"

Accompanied by a series of loud noises of swords clashing, Liu Xunyi in mid-air swung left and blocked right, neutralizing Qin Er's lightning-fast attacks one by one, and rushed in front of Qin Er in the blink of an eye.

Qin Erwan didn't expect Liu Xunyi to have such kung fu, and was shocked. But before he could exclaim and change his moves with his sword, his left rib suddenly felt cold, and then a burning pain attacked his head. When Qin Erwan subconsciously reached out to touch it, he found that the area around his left rib had already turned bloody and slippery.

"Qin Er, you better count carefully!"

Liu Xunyi's cold voice rang in Qin Er's ears. Qin Er fell back onto the stage, turned around abruptly, and swung his sword without thinking, but the Hidden Ghost Sword missed. Then Qin Er was hit by two more swords on the back of his shoulder blades, one on the left and one on the right. However, after the sword tip pierced into the muscle, it stopped just before the vital point and did not injure Qin Er's internal organs.

From then on, this arena made up of nine large tables became extremely narrow for Qin Er. Not only could he not use his sword skills, but he was also led by Liu Xunyi's nimble snake-like steps. Qin Er failed to hit Liu Xunyi with his sword, but Liu Xunyi's sword stabbed and slashed Qin Er one by one, which made Qin Er feel frustrated that he had no place to use his strength and felt humiliated at being slaughtered.

The two of them performed a wonderful "mouse playing with cat" show on the ring, and the crowd watching the fight cheered loudly after a brief moment of daze. Liu Xunyi's every move and every style were just right. From beginning to end, there was not a single unnecessary movement of his hands, and there was not a single dragging step of his feet. It was so exquisite that even Luo Tianjin couldn't help but laugh and said, "What a master!"

Luo Ningyu couldn't help but stand up and jumped to Liu Xunyi, shouting, "Good job, Liu Xunyi. Teach him a lesson on behalf of Lin Fangda. Let him have a taste of what it feels like to be teased by others."

In about half a cup of tea, Liu Xunyi and Qin Er on the ring had already fought for more than thirty rounds. Qin Er became more and more passive, while Liu Xunyi became more and more casual.

"The eleventh sword!"

Liu Xunyi's voice suddenly sounded behind Qin Er. Qin Er, whose face flushed with shock, turned around in a hurry and wanted to pounce forward, but he saw a flash of silver light before his eyes, and then his right wrist felt cold. Qin Er subconsciously loosened his five fingers in pain, and the Hidden Ghost Knife flew out of his hand. Before the furious Qin Er could reach out to catch the knife, Liu Xunyi turned his waist and threw a beautiful side kick, directly kicking Qin Er in the chest. The huge force kicked Qin Er's huge body like a black bear out of the ring, and he fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".

The Hidden Ghost Blade suddenly fell, Liu Xunyi jumped into the air, turned around and made another beautiful flying kick, and sent the Hidden Ghost Blade flying straight towards Qin Er who had not yet reacted. As Qin Er subconsciously exclaimed, the extremely sharp Hidden Ghost Blade was deeply inserted into the bluestone ground between Qin Er's legs. If the blade had deviated a few inches upwards, Qin Er's life would have been gone.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth. Qin Er had just played a trick on Lin Fangda, and now Liu Xunyi was taking it back with interest, not even kicking him to the ground in embarrassment. It was true that he would never give up until he had a slight grudge.

When Qin Er landed on the ground, the whole place fell into deathly silence. People once again looked at this unknown servant from the Prince Xian's Mansion with disbelief. Many people were so scared that they felt their throats tighten when they swallowed.

Qin Er stared at Liu Xunyi with complicated eyes, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know where Liu Xunyi came from, nor did he know when such a young master appeared in the Xianwang Mansion, but he understood that he was defeated miserably by this kid in front of all the heroes just now. It had nothing to do with momentum and luck, and nothing to do with underestimating the enemy, but that he was simply powerless in front of Liu Xunyi.

After a long silence, Qin Er, covered in blood, slowly stood up, panting. He struggled to pull out the Hidden Ghost Sword, then turned around and limped towards the sidelines.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Qin Er, who was still frightened, stared at the unharmed Liu Xunyi on the stage with complicated eyes, and said in a hoarse and bitter voice, very reluctantly: "Liu, this one... I'm done for!"
