Chapter 156 Challenge
Long Chuqing lowered her eyes and hesitated for a moment before slowly taking off her outer cloak and handing it to Zi Guang beside her.
She then lightly tiptoed and gracefully leaped onto the ring.
A gust of cold wind swept by, ruffling her hair and the hem of her clothes. Long Chuqing couldn't help but silently complain to herself, "It's so cold!"
When everyone saw her step onto the stage, they returned to the front, eagerly anticipating the upcoming match.
Nangong Ming threw the wooden stick in his hand towards Long Chuqing, who quickly reached out and caught it steadily. She weighed the stick in her hand.
Long Chuqing smiled slightly, raised an eyebrow, and launched the first attack.
She rushed towards Nangong Ming with a wooden stick in her hand, and at the same time, Nangong Ming also swung his wooden stick and made a quick move.
"Thump..." In an instant, the two wooden sticks met in the air with a dull thud.
Immediately afterwards, Long Chuqing used a feint, causing Nangong Ming's defense to momentarily open up.
Then, she quickly took a step back, and in that moment, she leaped forward, grabbed the wooden stick with both hands, and struck it down hard.
Faced with Long Chuqing's unexpected attack, Nangong Ming quickly raised the wooden stick in his hand to try to block it.
However, Long Chuqing had already infused the wooden stick with powerful internal energy, making its strength far beyond what an ordinary wooden stick could withstand.
With a dull "crack" sound, the wooden stick in Nangong Ming's hand broke in two due to the force it could not withstand.
Just as Long Chuqing's wooden stick was about to smash into Nangong Ming's head, he quickly turned his head and dodged at the last second.
Long Chuqing pressed her advantage, raising her leg and kicking Nangong Ming hard.
Nangong Ming dared not relax in the slightest. He immediately dropped the two broken sticks in his hand, then put his hands together to protect himself from Long Chuqing's fierce kick.
Long Chuqing's kick landed squarely on Nangong Ming's arms.
Despite his best efforts to steady himself, he was still thrown back a few steps by the enormous impact.
After Nangong Ming stood firmly, he raised his eyes and stared at Long Chuqing opposite him, while secretly thinking to himself: This woman goes all out right from the start, she's really ruthless!
However, that's what makes it interesting, and that's why he's always wanted to have a formal contest with her.
However, he's no pushover either. You see, he hasn't been idle lately; he's been getting up early every day to exercise and hone his martial arts skills!
He walked to the side, picked up another wooden stick, and the two clashed again, engaging in a contest once more.
Two figures moved swiftly across the field, wielding wooden sticks with a style reminiscent of swords, their moves rapid and fierce, dazzling the eye.
Passersby were all drawn to the intense fight on stage.
Before long, the sidelines were once again filled with onlookers, all watching the intense fight intently.
It has to be said that Nangong Ming's hard work in training during this period has paid off. His strength has increased a lot, and even his movements have improved significantly.
Liu Yu must have suffered a lot lately! He's been acting as a sparring partner every day, but he's also made progress along with him.
"Was that the man in black that night you?" Just as the two were exchanging words, Long Chuqing suddenly asked.
"That's right, it really is me. I didn't expect you to see through me so easily."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ming's lips curled up into a slightly smug smile, and he readily admitted it without any hesitation.
"You little rascal, how dare you disturb my sleep in the middle of the night!" Long Chuqing retorted angrily.
Immediately afterwards, her attacks intensified, and she swiftly attacked Nangong Ming.
When the two wooden sticks collide, they generate a powerful force, creating gusts of air around them.
The swirling snowflakes drifted with the air currents, sometimes pausing and sometimes falling.
As they closed in, Nangong Ming raised his right leg and swept it horizontally towards Long Chuqing's waist.
Upon seeing this, Long Chuqing reacted quickly, using the force of the two wooden sticks colliding to leap up and avoid the attack coming from Nangong Ming's leg.
She swung her wooden stick in mid-air and struck Nangong Ming below. Nangong Ming then lightly leaped up and held the wooden stick, infused with his inner strength, to block her attack.
Long Chuqing kicked Nangong Ming's wooden stick again, the powerful force pressing him down.
After the two landed, the powerful airflow stirred up the surrounding air and snowflakes again. Long Chuqing turned around and swept his leg to attack Nangong Ming's leg, but Nangong Ming raised his leg to block it...
The two men faced off fiercely, both exerting their utmost strength. The sticks drew arcs in the air, like rainbows piercing the sun.
Everyone watched in stunned silence, amazed by their fight.
After watching the competition, Yang Yi exclaimed in amazement, "I never expected this young lady to be so skilled in martial arts. Looking at her delicate body, she can actually use such powerful moves. Those seemingly weak moves are actually full of power."
“This girl is indeed not to be underestimated,” Yang Jing replied seriously. “She not only has profound internal strength, but also superb martial arts skills. Some of the moves she uses are ones I have never seen before.”
Yang Yi turned to look at Yang Jing beside her and continued, "That's true. Hey, brother, have you noticed that your martial arts seem to have improved a lot? You look even more powerful than before. But that girl is also incredibly skilled."
Yang Jing watched the competition on the stage intently: "It is indeed better than before. However, it seems that the two are evenly matched at the moment, but if you look closely, you can see that my cousin is being suppressed by that girl."
After listening to Yang Jing's analysis, Yang Yi straightened her expression and said, "You mean to say that my cousin is no match for that girl?"
Yang Jing nodded: "That seems to be the case at the moment, but it's too early to say for sure. Let's wait and see."
Xiao Han was also watching the competition intently. Although he wasn't worried that she would lose, his brows remained furrowed.
This side of the government office
Prince Jin is on duty at the government office today. Due to the grand event taking place on the streets, the government office has dispatched many guards to patrol.
In the afternoon, the guards reported to him on the details of the patrol, which included the mention of a martial arts competition being held on South Street that day.
After learning about the situation, Xiao Yue urged the guards to be extra careful and to prevent any disturbances.
As evening approached, another group of guards reported to him on their work.
Even now, many people are still strolling around the streets, and some of them are mentioning that the martial arts competition is still ongoing.
Xiao Yue looked up at the sky outside. The weather was gloomy, and he predicted that it might snow again soon.
He pondered for a moment, then got up, put on his cloak, and called his guards to go to the neighborhood together.
He wanted to go and see for himself, but as it was getting dark, he was afraid it might snow later.
There are still many people walking on the streets, and with the roads slippery due to snow, accidents are especially likely to occur.
