Chapter 11 - 11
Once these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar. In the crowd, Luo Binghe was also shocked.
He doesn't need even a single hand?
Sha Hualing snorted and thought that Shen Qingqiu was being self-important and conceited, but at the same time felt happy. How could he win so easily, so why not accept? She hurriedly said: "Since Elder Shen has said so, then let's start!"
Many people on the sides felt that this girl's skin was very thick and wanted to take advantage of others, so there were boos everywhere. Shen Qingqiu was the sort of reader who felt that reading was like watching a play. Right now as a character in the story, there was another kind of feeling and he couldn't stand Sha Hualing's style of doing things. However, he saw that she was young, sweet, and charming and therefore treated her as a cute loli.
In the middle of attention, Shen Qingqiu truly did not draw his sword and instead played with the paper fan in his left hand, a small smile on his face as he faced the single-armed elder.
Elder Du Bi only had one arm but it didn't affect him as he picked up his ghost head knife.1 But his blade passed, whistling through the air and didn't hit his target. He turned around and saw Shen Qingqiu already stood at another location, shaking his fan and laughing at him.
However, the Xiu Ya sword had already exited its scabbard. Shen Qingqiu didn't draw the sword with his hands, only secretly held his hand in a sword seal to manipulate his Xiu Ya sword to fly through the air. The snow-white sword light was painful and harmed the Elder Du Bi's eyes, so he raised his sword and increased his attacks! The knife and sword clashed, ding dang sounds without end as sparks danced.
Everyone watched with rapt attention. This competition was truly 'good to see' and 'beautiful.'2 The first 'good to see' referred to the strength of both parties and their martial skill. The second 'beautiful' referred to the visual effect, which was extremely gorgeous. It was particularly so for Shen Qingqiu: his ease of movement as his sword whirled into afterimages of sword light in the air all while shaking his fan leisurely, every seven steps giving rise to a poem to send forth, this sort of stunning style!
Luo Binghe watched and felt his heart sway. He knew Shen Qingqiu was powerful, but he didn't think that he was powerful to this degree.
So strong!
In the middle of the cheers of the disciples, Shen Qingqiu took the victory for the first trial.
