Chapter 64: Can sing and fight

Last time, we talked about the captain Tang Ying bringing 500 elite soldiers to the martial arts arena to wait for Li Yi's orders. But if Li Yi wants to subdue these people, he has to fight with Tang Ying. So how will their fight go? Let's read on.

Dugu Long smiled and called Tang Ying aside to chat, providing cover for Li Yi and the others. On the other side, Nangong Qi said, "Xiuyuan, we knew that Tang Ying would bring people here today, so we came here to help! These soldiers are elites selected from the military formations around Shangjing. They are very ambitious, and the worst of them is at the eighth rank in terms of martial arts. We are worried that you can't control them!"

Li Yi bowed and said, "Thank you for your consideration for Xiu Yuan. I am not very good at dealing with them. Tang Ying interrupted me several times just now. It was very rude."

Dugu Yu: "Do you know why? Because he looks down on you!" "Looks down on me? Not really. He is quite polite when he talks to me."

Nangong Qi: "That's because the emperor has ordered it, so I'm just giving you some face. If you don't defeat a warrior like Tang Ying, he will look down on you and think you're just a show-off, a decoration!"

Li Yi asked, "So we have to fight this?" Yu Qi and the other two nodded. Li Yi asked again, "But how can I fight if I don't know how to attack?"

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Xiuyuan, you can pretend to be a master. We will encourage you later and provoke Tang Ying to take the initiative. This way, you can respond to changes with the same attitude!"

Li Yi: "Brother Yu, what you said makes sense, but what if Tang Ying doesn't fall for it?"

Nangong Qi: "Xiuyuan, you think Tang Ying is too smart. He is a warrior!" Then he gave Li Yi a confident look.

Li Yi had no choice but to agree. Dugu Long saw that the discussion was over and asked with a smile, "How is it, have you two persuaded Xiu Yuan?"

Dugu Yu replied, "Brother, I don't like what you said. Don't you know how strong Xiuyuan is? We are trying to persuade Xiuyuan to be gentle and not beat Tang Ying so hard that he can't get out of bed."

Nangong Qi chimed in, "That's right, that's right, Brother Long, you have fought with Xiu Yuan before, and you know that Tang Ying can't beat Xiu Yuan!"

Tang Ying, who was standing by, looked at Dugu Long in astonishment and asked, "Did the young general really fight with Li Changshi?"

Dugu Long nodded and said, "Tang Ying, they really didn't lie about this. If we really fight, you really can't beat Xiu Yuan."

Tang Ying was even more confused, thinking that this Li Changshi was so powerful? This shouldn't be the case, he looks like a gentle scholar! Dugu Long saw through Tang Ying's thoughts and said with a smile: "I'm not lying to you, and I'm not bragging. I also used 50% of my strength to win when I was sparring with this Li Changshi."

Tang Ying was stunned. The last time Dugu Long sparred with him, he said he only used 30% of his strength. He didn't expect that he would have to use 50% of his strength when sparring with Li Changshi. His warlike heart began to beat. He stepped forward, clasped his fists, and saluted, "May I ask if Li Changshi is willing to spar with Tang Ying?"

Dugu Long, Dugu Yu, and Nangong Qi all gave Li Yi a look at the same time, and the latter smiled helplessly and said, "Since you all think so highly of a scholar like me, then come on, but Commander Tang, we have to agree first that the duel will be limited. If I get hurt, I'm afraid it will delay the main business."

Tang Ying nodded in agreement, and there was finally a martial arts atmosphere on the training ground. Five hundred elite soldiers of the Wei Dynasty formed a square formation, with Li Yi and Tang Ying in the middle.

As soon as the battle started, those who loved to watch the excitement were overjoyed. Everyone came to watch. Even the imperial guards who were responsible for the outer perimeter watched from the city wall. Wang Zhong even came in person. He first greeted Dugu Long and the others, then said with a smile: "Hey, Li Changshi, you are so ungentlemanly. You didn't even invite me to the competition. You know, I am also a descendant of a general!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Brother Wang, please don't join in the fun. You have official business to attend to, so you'd better be cautious!"

Wang Zhong said, "Then let me be your referee. Everything should be done in moderation to avoid any damage to the relationship!"

Dugu Long laughed and said, "Wang Zhong, I think you want to see which side wins so that you can go straight to the end!"

Wang Zhong laughed and said, “Brother Long, don’t spoil the fun! I’m just here to watch the fun! Hehehehe!”

Li Yi shook his head helplessly. As a result, Wang Zhong became the referee, standing in the center. He then said solemnly, "In a duel, fists and feet have no eyes, and life and death are not important!"

Dugu Yu laughed and scolded: "Brother Wang, you said the wrong words, you are taking sides too much!"

Wang Zhong quickly changed his words and said, "In a duel, don't damage the relationship, just stop when it's enough!"

Li Yi was sweating, thinking, what kind of ghost are these warriors! They are not reliable at all! Looking at this situation, I am afraid that it will not be settled peacefully. If we don’t defeat one of them, it will definitely not work! Damn it! I forgot to ask what realm this Tang Ying is in. If he is a fourth-grade warrior, I have to be careful.

As Wang Zhong shouted, the wind blew up the sand in the martial arts arena. Li Yi and Tang Ying stood on each side, but neither of them moved. Li Yi wondered in his heart, why didn't this guy attack? This is different from the script just mentioned! He quickly winked at Dugu Yu and Nangong Qi, meaning that you two should provoke him again!

Yu Qi and the other two understood what he meant. Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Tang Ying, you are not afraid! Why are you fighting with the Confucian scholars and not daring to take the initiative?"

Nangong Qi smiled and said, "I guess he was frightened. Didn't Brother Long say that he used only 50% of his strength when fighting Xiu Yuan? He was afraid that he would lose face if he couldn't beat Li Yi!"

The two men mocked him, but Tang Ying remained unmoved. It was not that he was afraid, but that he had misunderstood. He thought that Li Yi must be a master to be able to fight with Dugu Long, and that a blind attack would easily reveal his flaws, so he did not take the initiative to attack.

Wang Zhong, the referee, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Do you two want to fight or not? If not, let me take over!"

Li Yi was galloping on the grassland with his head full of alpacas, cursing in his heart: You bastards! You have hurt me so much, and now I am just standing here, what should I do? If I move, I am afraid I will be exposed!

Seeing that the two men still didn't move, Wang Zhong cursed, "Tang Ying, if you are afraid, just admit defeat. I will fight for you!"

Li Yi had already started to greet Wang Zhong's relatives, but he suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said, "It seems that Tang Ying was frightened by what Brother Long said. Why don't we change it and let Brother Wang and Tang Ying attack together!"

Li Yi's words irritated Wang Zhong. What should I do? You, Li Yi, look down on me, Wang Zhong, don't you? Let's attack together? Okay! You wait!

Wang Zhong laughed and said, "Li Changshi, do you think I am like Tang Ying, who will be scared by other people's words? Whether I can win the fight is another matter, but if I don't even dare to move my hands, what kind of man is that!" Then he rushed over with a knife! Dugu Yu and Nangong Qi on the side breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was an impulsive fool, otherwise it would be troublesome!

Dugu Long laughed and said, "Tang Ying is not afraid. He just hasn't figured out Li Yi's fighting style yet, so he didn't act rashly. Just wait and see, he will get serious soon!"

Nangong Qi asked, "That idiot won't use his full strength, will he? I heard he just entered the fourth rank! Will there be any mishaps?"

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Brother Qi, what you said means that you think my elder brother is just a decoration here. What trouble can happen with my elder brother here?" Nangong Qi nodded and smiled, turning his attention back to the formation.

Wang Zhong had already chopped over with a steel knife in his hand. Li Yi had already used the Vajra Magic Power and stretched out his left palm to condense a golden bell cover in front of him. Wang Zhong's steel knife chopped on the shield and could not penetrate even a little bit. However, he was not panicked. He waved his left hand and stirred up a layer of sand. The range of the golden bell cover was revealed where the sand passed. Then he jumped over the golden bell cover and came behind Li Yi. The latter retracted his left palm, clenched his right fist and hammered it on his left palm, saying "Stop"!

Wang Zhong, who had just landed, was knocked away by the suddenly rising air shield. However, the advantage of a Hua Jin warrior is that he is not subject to Newton's control. He recovered his body shape in mid-air and landed calmly. He smiled and said, "I thought Li Changshi was a scholar, but I didn't expect him to be both civil and martial. This is the Buddhist Vajra Divine Art! Okay! I'll try again!"

Wang Zhong kicked the ground fiercely and instantly came in front of Li Yi, swinging his sword to cut him. However, Tang Ying appeared behind Li Yi and swung his sword to cut him, knocking Wang Zhong out. The latter stabilized his body again and cursed: "Tang Ying, what are you doing! I asked you to fight just now, but you refused. Now it's my turn to fight, and you try to stop me! What do you mean?"

Tang Ying put away his sword and saluted, saying, "There was a misunderstanding just now, so I was a little slow in my attack. I hope Commander Wang will be a good referee and don't leave the field!"

Wang Zhong was not convinced and wanted to say a few more words, but Dugu Long said, "Wang Zhong, you'd better not join in the fun. Your martial arts skills are not good enough. Watching the competition between these two may help you! Watch carefully!" Wang Zhong knew that what Dugu Long said was true, so he calmed down and watched from the field.

Tang Ying turned around and clasped his fists towards Li Yi, saying, "I never thought I would have the opportunity to learn from the Buddhist Vajra Divine Art. Now I understand what the young general said! I apologize for any offense I have caused you before, I beg you to forgive me, Li Changshi!"

Li Yi: "It's okay, can you attack now?"

Tang Ying: "I have heard that the Vajra Divine Art is a static art. If you don't move, the defensive power is extraordinary. I saw a little bit of it when I saw Commander Wang's attack just now. So, I am afraid that Li Changshi is good at defense but not good at attack. Although he can be invincible, he can't defeat me!"

Li Yi cursed! Then he glared at Dugu Yu and Nangong Qi, his eyes expressed, you two idiots! Didn't they say that Tang Ying is a fool and easy to fool? What should I do now? People saw through it at a glance! What should I do now! You two bastards, talk!

Yu Qi and the other looked up at the sky, and the other looked down at the ground, but they didn't look at Li Yi! Li Yi began to greet their families, but no matter how much he cursed in his heart, it was useless at the moment. He looked at Tang Ying standing in front of him with a knife in hand, and smiled: "You are right, I am good at defense but not good at attack, but you forgot one thing, I not only know the Vajra Magic, but I am also a Confucianist!"

As he spoke, Li Yi released purple energy, which condensed in the palm of his left hand. He used the Red Lotus Fire to use the energy as fuel and suddenly swung out a fireball from his left hand. Tang Ying swung his sword and tried to smash the fireball with the sword energy. If it was an ordinary fireball, of course it could be smashed with the sword energy, but Li Yi used the Red Lotus Fire. The moment the sword energy hit the fireball, the fireball expanded along with the sword energy, as if the sword energy had also been turned into fuel, and the fireball rushed towards him.

Tang Ying leaped up, and the fireball hit the ground, exploding into many sparks. He looked back and sighed in his heart: Is this a Buddhist or Confucian magic? How strange!

The attack just now was a quick-witted move by Li Yi, drawing on the fire show from last night, but he used the Red Lotus Karma Fire as a guide, and the effect was very good. He felt the mental power and talent consumed by this attack, and smiled in his heart: This method is feasible! A picture emerged in his mind, the Fire Style in Naruto!

Suddenly, a bad idea came to his mind. Li Yi gestured a few times with his hands in front of his chest. He was just gesturing blindly. How could he remember the hand seals in Naruto? He did this just to satisfy his bad taste.

After making a few gestures, he hooked his left index finger to imitate Sasuke's movements in Naruto, took a deep breath, and then exhaled, then shouted: "Red Flame Technique·Great Fireball Technique!" In fact, what he did were all illusions. The real technique he used was to use more Crimson Lotus Fire in the palm of his left hand, and then use more energy to form a big fireball, and then control the energy to fly out. Of course, from the performance effect point of view, it is indeed not much different from the scenes in Naruto.

The Red Lotus Fire burned with energy and flew towards Tang Ying. Seeing such a fireball coming, the latter could only dodge. However, Li Yi used a lot of energy this time, and the Red Lotus Fire would not burn out quickly. Li Yi controlled the remaining energy and chased Tang Ying. This scene shocked everyone! They all thought that Li Yi could control the fire at will!
