TGM Vol.1 Chapter 34 – Final (2)

Pian Pian and Yu Ning are the proud disciples of Dongfang on Fuyu Island. From the age of six, they have been practicing the art of combining the two swords to form a harmonious blend of skills. Now they are more than 20 years old. They eat, live, and travel together, and they have almost the same temperament. The heart is alive, and the combination of the two swords makes it superb.

Xuanji had heard the names of these two people before, but it was the first time that they were so close to each other.

The one in white clothes is Yu Ning, who is slightly shorter, with long hair slanted in a bun, cold eyes, and a beautiful face. What is strange is the sword in her hand, which is more than three feet long, from the hilt to the sword. The sheaths are all snow white, and she doesn’t know what material they are made of.

Xuanji has always thought that a woman looks best in white, not only is it refreshing, but also elegant. Now, seeing Yu Ning standing on the scene, dancing with the wind in her long-sleeved dress, she was so relaxed and elegant that she couldn’t help feeling envious.

Pian Pian is the slender man in red next to him. Although he is not amazing, he has good eyes, dark and agile. They add a touch of heroism to him. In addition to the red clothes and black hair, he does not have a manly charm. The sword in his hand is thicker, the style is the same as Yuning’s, but the whole body is bright red, just like it has just been taken out of the furnace.

I thought he was so pretty…” Linglong stared at Pian Pian for a long time, then turned her head and said in Zhong Minyan’s ear, “It turns out that it’s not as good as our little six! Little six, another day you will wear a red dress and change the scabbard hilt to red. Yes, it must be much better than him.”

Zhong Minyan couldn’t help laughing, and nodded solemnly: “Then you also wear white clothes with white swords. Let’s have a combination of two swords and be Shaoyang School’s Pian Pian and Yuning.”

LingLong smiles and pats him a few times, “What do you know about the combination of two swords? I’m just a kid!”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of rejoicing again, but it was Pian PIan and Yuning’s opponent who took the stage.
“Ah! Brother Dianzheng!” Linglong pointed at the simple-faced young man above and exclaimed in excitement, “Brother Dianzheng! He is so powerful!”

The crowd can no longer be bothered to discuss whether Pian Pian or Yu Ning is good looking or not, they are all shouting for support. Dianzheng seems to have heard the voices of his fellow disciples, and smiles, drawing even more applause.

“Who else is left besides him from the Shaoyang Sect?” Ling Long asked.

The first three competitions eliminated more than half of them, as well as the one that was held last night, when senior brother Dianhui had a bad stomach and couldn’t continue the competition.

When Ling Long heard that there were only two of them left, she pouted, “These brothers are not very helpful.”

Chen MinJue interrupted with a smile, “That’s not true, Little Sister. The only ones left are Pian Pian and Yu Ning from the Fuyu Island. What’s more, Brother DianMing has just defeated the disciples of Dianjing Valley and is one of the four finalists!”

Linglong felt a little bit more comfortable now.

The judge of the contest is the Deputy Palace Master of the Lize Palace, and he is the same as the last time we saw him, leaning back lazily in his chair.

But he didn’t panic. He fanned himself twice before smiling and saying, “The contest hasn’t started yet, don’t be so aggressive. Remember to stop. If you use a magic spell that exceeds the limit, I will lose my temper.”

As soon as the words were said, the fan waved down, and no one was able to react. Even Pian Pian, Yu Ning and Dianzheng were stunned for a moment before they clasped their fists and opened their stances.

When Zhong MinYan saw that Brother Dian Zheng was displaying the opening stance of Xuan Ming Fist, he asked, “Does Brother Dian Zheng have a weapon? It must be hard to fight two swords with bare hands!”

Du Minxing shook his head, he actually didn’t know what kind of weapon Dian Zheng was using.

Ling Long on the side suddenly shrieked, “Ah! Look!”

As the people looked, they saw Pian Pian and Yuning with their swords drawn, swords together in a cross. They were standing face to face, one red and one white, their clothes dancing and hunting, in the wind.

The three of them stood facing each other for a long time without moving.

Ling Long waited for a long time, but they didn’t make a move and whispered, “Why don’t they move?”

Du Minxing could only shake his head, but naturally he didn’t know.

The spectators became anxious, and all of them sent out surprising noises. The Deputy Palace Master waved his fan and said with a smile, “Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious, be quiet.”

As soon as the words were uttered, the three people moved in unison, as if they were three bolts of lightning, and collided with each other in the air. No one could see what they were doing. But one of Dian’s sleeves was slit, and there was a footprint on the bottom of Yu Ning’s shirt.

“Wow, what is this? Linglong shouted, “I can’t see a thing!”

No one answered her, because everyone was as blind as she was.

Then Xuanji kindly explained: “It’s like this: Brother Dianzheng wanted to take advantage of the situation to grab the sword from Yu Ning’s hand, but Pian Pian blocked him and slashed his sword towards his face. In order to dodge the sword, he wrapped his sleeve around it, and his sleeve was cut off. Yu Ning followed and tried to stab him, but he parried the move and was kicked.”

When she finished, she blinked her eyes, saw everyone staring at her, and said obediently, “That’s it.”

Linglong stammered: “Xuan, Xuanji, you… can you see clearly?”

She nodded, “Yes, but not too fast,” she said.

Ling Long was silent.

Zhong Min Yan said, “Don’t listen to the little girl, she can’t see clearly! Even First Brother can’t see it!”

I can really see clearly… Xuanji argued in her stomach, but she didn’t bother to say it.

In this first fight, both of them had some idea of their respective strengths. They probably know that Dianzheng is different from the opponents from whom they can easily win in the past. Both Pian Pian and Yu Ning have a dignified look on their faces. Suddenly they withdrew their swords and whirled together, as if they had rehearsed, with their toes on the ground, and took a few steps back at the same time.

Duanzheng didn’t allow them time to catch their breath, he took off like an arrow low to the ground and dodged Pian Pian’s sword, and raised his wrists, attempting to grab Yu NIng’s sword. This time, she was ready for him, immediately retreated, dodging a tackle, but then Pian PIan’s sword was already at his door, forcing him to retreat.

The audience can’t see what moves they have in mind, but they can see the red and white shadows moving back and forth, like a swallow, and often retreat at the slightest touch. The red shadow is sharp and rigid, like a demon in the dark night, always dangerously intervening in unexpected places, with sleeves flying and sword lights hiding in between, like a needle in a sea of flowers.

The white shadows are light and graceful, dripping and twirling, and the sword light envelops their bodies like a golden bell, a thorn in a flower.

One red and one white, moving in and out in a staggered fashion, floating like two butterflies, just like someone said, they are extremely eye-catching. Although I couldn’t see what they were doing…well, that’s a small pity.

Who’s got the upper hand? Ling Long can’t even see the action and is screaming.

Du Minxing and the others can only shake their heads in silence. Xuanji said, “It’s Brother Dianzheng who has the upper hand, he has snatched Yu Ning’s sword. Here…”

She pointed her hand, and saw Dianzheng take a few steps backwards, clutching a shining white sword in his hand, steadily making a sword technique, while Yu Ning, who looked oddly pale and had a red wrist, must have been hurt by him.

The crowd was in an uproar.
