Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 25 First Victory
Pei Nai nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding the wooden stick, and instead swung the long stick horizontally, attacking his abdomen.

Junior Brother Wei Kang drew back his stick and swung it to block Pei Nai's long stick. He then grasped the head of the stick with his other hand and pushed Pei Nai's long stick hard with both hands.

Pei Nai stepped back.

Junior Brother Wei Kang turned and raised his hands, and the hand holding the top of the stick loosened instantly. The wooden stick drew a large circle with the center of the long stick as the axis, and hit Pei Nai's head directly.

Some of Junior Brother Wei Kang's actions were based on subconscious reactions. When he made his move, he was also startled and nervously reminded Pei Nai, "Miss Tang, be careful!"

Pei Nai quickly bent backwards, she was thankful for Tang Mingzhi's flexible waist, and the long stick in her hand quickly followed up and knocked away Junior Brother Wei Kang's wooden stick.

She used her left hand to push herself up with the help of the slight breeze from the Palm of Ten Thousand Hates.

This time she took the initiative and swung the long stick diagonally upwards, hitting the wooden stick that Junior Brother Wei Kang was defending.

Junior brother Wei Kang prepared to fight back, but Pei Nai didn't give him the chance and hit him hard again and again, forcing him to defend.

Pei Nai changed the trajectory of the stick again and thrust the stick head forward. Both the long stick and the long spear were round cylindrical weapons. Pei Nai aimed directly at the body of his stick and the landing point was extremely accurate.

With this move, she pressed down Junior Brother Wei Kang's stick so hard that it hit her.

Junior Brother Wei Kang felt the pain and took a step back, but he forgot that Pei Nai's attack just now had almost pushed him to the edge of the fighting arena.

Pei Nai swung his long stick forward and slashed horizontally. He wanted to retreat to avoid it, but he didn't expect that Pei Nai's long stick came with a strong wind. The strong wind hit him and gave him a backward impact.

His feet slipped and he fell backwards. Junior Brother Wei Kang had a quick reaction and did a somersault to stand steadily on the ground, but he was considered a failure as soon as he stepped off the stage.

There was already a wave of applause coming from all directions, but only Junior Brother Wei Kang was still standing on the ground, looking at Pei Nai in surprise.

Being able to create such a powerful gust of wind with a stick, even though he had practiced martial arts for many years, to achieve this level required a lot of timing and luck, which was somewhat difficult.

But the underestimated Miss Tang in front of him, just by swinging the stick like flowing water, had already reached the top level of stick skills.

Except for him and a few masters who discovered the hidden colorless stick wind, everyone else thought that Tang Mingzhi had exploited a loophole in Wei Kang's moves.

Watch upstairs.

Da Xian said in Qilu language with appreciation: "She is indeed the woman I like!"

People around him could hear him talking, but they didn't know what he said specifically.

Only Gong Yang Zisheng replied in Qilu language: "Her strength is definitely more than that, but it's strange, why doesn't she use the Pei family spear?"

"The Pei family spear has a special meaning to the Tianyao people. She may want to keep a low profile." Da Xian was still speaking in Qilu dialect.

The VIP area code where Yixi is located is very close.

The seats nearby were reserved for high-ranking officials above the first rank, but those in high positions all had work to do, and only a few gave their tickets to their wives, concubines, or children. As a result, that area was the only quiet place in the entire fighting arena.

Especially the specially arranged and independently separated VIP table No. 1. Everyone who has entered the fighting arena has looked up at that position, but everyone knows that no one has ever sat at that table.

The VIP areas of the other viewing towers were much more lively than that one. Most of the guests were children of aristocratic families in Chaoyang City. They knew each other and were already discussing the matter enthusiastically.

"Is this woman Ju Liancheng's cousin, Tang Mingzhi, who was proposed to by the second prince of Qilu, Da Xian, in the palace earlier?" someone asked.

The people at the next table interrupted, "Isn't it? Look, Ju Liancheng is sitting over there at table number four."

"But who is this Tang Mingzhi? Why haven't I heard of such a person in Huizhou before?" Everyone was talking about it, and Jiang Qingyue, who was sitting in the crowd, showed displeasure on her face.

She was originally seated at table number eight, but that area was too empty and there was also Princess Chenzhao, Wang Yixi, whom she hated, so she came to the table where Jin Ling'er was.

Besides, she liked to stay in places where the children of noble families in the capital gathered. Because of her father, she was always supported by the people around her like a star, and she had long been accustomed to this situation.

But now, for several times in a row, Tang Mingzhi in front of her has stolen her limelight.

Jiang Qingyue was originally staring at Pei Nai fiercely, but she regained her gentle demeanor when she turned around and spoke to others.

She said, "This Tang Mingzhi likes to show off. I don't think she won by her own strength just now, but it seemed like luck. She won't be so lucky next time."

"Qingyue has some truth to it." Someone agreed.

Jin Ling'er beside her glanced at Jiang Qingyue and didn't respond.

At a VIP table on the third floor, someone was silently observing Pei Nai's movements and paths of using the stick from beginning to end. He waved to the attendant and whispered in his ear, "Go check on this Tang Mingzhi."

After hearing the order, the subordinate nodded and retreated without saying a word.

While people were discussing, Pei Nai had already bowed to the audience and Junior Brother Wei Kang in turn, then jumped off the fighting stage.

The other contestants congratulated Pei Nai and patted Wei Kang on the shoulder, saying regretfully, "Brother Wei Kang was careless. He actually let Miss Tang seize the opportunity."

Someone else joked, "This is a beauty trap." This made everyone laugh.

Before Pei Nai had time to rest, he saw Xing Xiaoren, the Master of Wind and Thunder Eight Spindle Hammer, appear on the scene again. Opposite him was Wei Kang's senior brother, the eldest disciple of the Changxing Gang, Xu Fengming.

Xu Fengming was the first disciple who stood up and shouted "how outrageous" when Xing Xiaoren spoke disrespectfully to Master Qianxuan.

Pei Nai had a bad feeling.

Xing Xiaoren is a petty person who will never let go of any grudge. When Pei Nai threw a candied haws at him, he looked as if he wanted to tear her apart. Xu Fengming was so angry at the time that he called him a "stray dog".

Everyone in the world knows that the Xing family, which owns the Eight Spindle Hammers of Xuanjiang Wind and Thunder, is most afraid of the word "mourning family".

This happened to give Xing Xiaoren the opportunity, and he would not let go of this good chance to avenge his previous shame. Xu Fengming also wanted to uphold justice and vent the anger for the people of Tianyao, so this game would surely not be easy.

Pei Nai was a little worried about Xu Fengming.

Neither of them saluted the other. Xing Xiaoren didn't know what he said. Only Xu Fengming, who was sitting opposite him, could see his lip movements clearly.

Xu Fengming's face turned pale immediately, and he raised his sword and charged forward.

Every time he struck out, his sword was filled with hostility to the death. No one knew what Xing Xiaoren said, but everyone could see that his words touched Xu Fengming's sore spot and completely enraged him.

His long sword chopped on the eight-split hammer, making a sharp and piercing metallic sound.

After a fight between the two, Xing Xiaoren took advantage of the moment when Xu Fengming's next sword was about to fall and raised the mother hammer, causing Xu Fengming's sword blade to be stuck between the spikes of the Fenglei Eight Shuttle Hammer's hammer wall.

He then took advantage of the situation and threw the hammer straight at Xu Fengming.
