After speaking, ng Yunzheng walked to the weapon rack with the spear and returned it, then selected a sword, tested it, and walked back to the center of the martial stage.
Just right, he had been busying around with Qi Lie lately and hadn’t had a thrilling fight with anyone for a long ti.
Seeing the commotion on the martial stage earlier, the blood-boiling scene made his fingers itch for action.
He lifted his sword and said to Uncle ng, "Uncle, please rest off the stage for now."
"Alright, alright."
Uncle ng was supported down by Ms. Tao, and only then did ng Yunzheng turn to face the escort across.
Escort Master Qu was in his thirties, with a burly physique and a very stable base.
He glanced at ng Yunzheng, hesitated for a mont, then said, "Scholar ng, I’m a rough man, if I injure you, this..."
"It’s okay, Uncle Qu, just go ahead."
Escort Master Qu silently sighed, thinking he’d better hold back a bit later; injuring him wouldn’t be good. They say Scholar ng is going to take the provincial examination this year, can’t ruin his future.
Thinking about this, Escort Master Qu charged forward with the knife, but the moves were very cautious, obviously much more restrained compared to his spar earlier with Uncle ng.
However, in the next mont, with a ’clang’, the knife in Escort Master Qu’s hand was suddenly knocked out and fell directly under the martial stage.
Escort Master Qu was stunned, the skin on his tiger’s mouth was burning but not injured, though the muscles were trembling.
He raised his head in shock; this was not the force a frail scholar should have.
The escorts beneath the stage were also taken aback, but soon soone shouted, "Old Qu, you’re letting it off too obviously."
"Exactly, your hand was so weak, no strength at all, look, the knife’s flown away."
Others saw Escort Master Qu not exerting force and thought he did it intentionally, completely not expecting him to even contend with ng Yunzheng.
Only Escort Master Qu knew the force that knocked his knife was heavy.
Yes, he wasn’t fast or strong in his moves, but that didn’t an he wasn’t holding the knife steadily.
Escort Master Qu swallowed his saliva, took the knife handed by the escort below, took a deep breath, and said to ng Yunzheng with burning eyes, "Once more."
"Alright."
With a ’clang’, knife and sword collided, sparks flew, and the interaction instantly beca murderous.
The escorts beneath the stage shouted ’whoa’, surprised at the dazzling display of knife and sword between the two.
Just like Uncle ng said, Escort Master Qu was very stable, every move solid.
ng Yunzheng was different, his movents were skillful, forceful, and his foundation equally steady.
From a young age, he learned martial arts with ng Pei, later his mother saved Uncle Yan, who ca from the Worldly Society, the most skilled in the escort agency, and ng Yunzheng learned from him.
After turning ten, Gong Qiu took him back to the Gong Family, because he explained to Gong Qiu that his mind was damaged, studies and imperial exams useless, Gong Qiu made him learn martial arts, inviting several excellent martial instructors.
ng Yunzheng perford quite normally in front of Gong Qiu, but secretly he had learned all he could.
For practicing martial arts, he didn’t miss a single day.
Although Escort Master Qu had good skills, he gradually found himself unable to match ng Yunzheng’s attacks; soon, his knife was once again knocked out, a sword held horizontally at his neck.
Gasping for large breaths, Escort Master Qu’s face was surprisingly excited, he bowed to ng Yunzheng and said, "Young Master ng, splendid skills."
