Chapter 406 My Husband is Really Amazing
Chapter 406 My Husband is Really Amazing
Yelü Deguang's face turned pale, clearly unable to withstand such immense pressure.
But he did not back down. Instead, he exerted his strength and forcefully pushed the spear away.
Leng Feng then pressed his longsword against the neck of the Khitan general.
The Khitan general conceded defeat.
"Good! He really is possessed by the God of War!"
Yelü Deguang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a smile of approval appearing on his face.
"I, the prince, concede defeat in today's battle!"
These words caused an uproar. Who could have imagined that a dignified Khitan prince would voluntarily admit defeat?
Yelü Deguang, still on horseback, cupped his hands and said:
"The Prince of Jin truly lives up to his reputation. Today, I have truly witnessed the brilliance of the heroes of the Central Plains. Miss Qiu is truly blessed to have such a husband!"
Li Cunxu and Leng Feng returned the greeting with clasped hands.
Despite having given it her all just now, she responded with a smile, completely unconcerned.
"Brother Yelü is also a heroic figure. If we have the opportunity in the future, I hope we can have another match!"
Immediately following, the duel between Qi Yuxuan and Urtu began.
The surroundings were silent, with only the rustling of the wind through the grass adding to the tense atmosphere of the duel.
The moonlight shone on the two of them, highlighting their distinct personalities.
Qi Yuxuan held a long sword that gleamed coldly, his fox-like eyes still captivating.
Her tall figure, clad in a long silver-white robe, moved gracefully and elegantly in the night breeze.
Urtu, on the other hand, was draped in a heavy fur cloak, held a rough scimitar in his hand, and had a wild fire burning in his eyes.
"bring it on!"
Urtu let out a low growl and launched the first attack.
His steps were steady, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, the curved blade in his hand drawing an arc, aimed straight at Qi Yuxuan's chest.
Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly and calmly drew his sword to parry.
The metal clanged together, producing a crisp sound and sparks flying.
He took a step back, using the momentum to observe his opponent's movements and look for an opening.
However, Urtu's offensive came like a storm, each strike carrying immense force, making it difficult to defend against.
"Wow, that's strong!"
Qi Yuxuan exclaimed in admiration, while quickly adjusting his steps to dodge Urtu's heavy slash with agile movements.
His swordsmanship is exquisite; seemingly effortless, it always manages to defuse crises at crucial moments.
After one exchange, he thrust back, the tip of his sword aimed directly at Urtu's throat.
But Urtu is not someone to be trifled with.
At the critical moment, he suddenly turned to the side, used his shoulder to deflect the force, and twisted his body to swing his knife at Qi Yuxuan's waist again.
Their movements were lightning fast, and each contact sent shivers through the air.
As soon as Li Cunxu left the arena, he ran to Qiu Ziyue's side, and Qiu Ziyue slapped Li Cunxu a few times.
"Yay, Cunxu, well done!"
Qiu Ziyue praised.
"Isn't your husband amazing?" Li Cunxu asked.
"Yeah, that's really impressive," Qiu Ziyue gave a thumbs up.
On the battlefield, the fighting gradually entered a fierce stage.
Qi Yuxuan began to take the initiative, his swordsmanship was unpredictable, sometimes as gentle as flowing water, sometimes as swift as thunder.
Although Urtu possessed astonishing strength, he was slightly less agile and nearly suffered fatal blows several times.
However, thanks to his rich practical experience and tenacious willpower, he never showed any signs of defeat.
Li Cunxu worriedly said:
"Qi Dabing was injured before, can he handle it?"
Qiu Ziyue rolled her eyes at Li Cunxu and said:
"Don't worry, I've already prepared a lot of tonics for him, he's in great shape."
Li Cunxu, chin in hand, said, "That big ice cube must be about to throw up."
"That's right, but I forced him to drink it, and he still drank it to give me face," Qiu Ziyue said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
Li Cunxu whispered to Qiu Ziyue:
"I'll accept him as the boss, but if it were anyone else, I'd kill them with a single spear thrust."
Qiu Ziyue remained silent, focusing intently on the competition.
Time seemed to stand still as Qi Yuxuan and Urtu exchanged blows, neither willing to back down an inch.
Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and their breathing became rapid.
Finally, after a fierce exchange of blows, Qi Yuxuan seized a tiny opportunity and touched the tip of his sword to Urtu's wrist.
"stop!"
Urtu shouted and looked down at his wrist, where only a shallow mark remained, but it was enough to prove that the outcome was decided.
Qi Yuxuan sheathed his sword and stood there, a smile of admiration on his face:
"Your bravery is awe-inspiring. Today's battle is truly a joyous occasion."
Urtu grinned and patted his chest:
"Young Master Qi, as expected of the swordsmanship champion, your swordsmanship has truly broadened my horizons. Urtu has learned a great deal!"
The two exchanged a smile, a tacit understanding of mutual appreciation growing between them.
Qi Yuxuan walked off the stage and went to Qiu Ziyue's side.
Qiu Ziyue extended her hand and gave Qi Yuxuan a high five with a smile.
"My husband is amazing! Wow!"
Qi Yuxuan responded, "That's right, don't you even know whose husband it is?"
“Hmm, don’t be shy,” Li Cunxu whispered, sitting on Qiu Ziyue’s other side.
Qiu Ziyue took out a silk handkerchief to wipe Qi Yuxuan's sweat. Qi Yuxuan enjoyed it and ignored Li Cunxu.
Seeing that he was losing both matches, Yelü Deguang's expression turned somewhat grim.
He clenched his fists, his heart filled with resentment and anger.
However, he knew that continuing the argument would only make the situation more awkward.
Yelü Bei was well aware of his younger brother Yelü Deguang's behavior.
He stepped forward, patted Yelü Deguang on the shoulder, and said softly:
"Brother, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, there's no need to take it too seriously."
Yelü Zhigu also comforted his brother, saying:
“Brother, you are still as brave and valiant as ever. I am filled with awe and respect for you. There is no need to worry about victory or defeat.”
Li Cunxu also noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere. He smiled slightly, stepped forward, and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Prince Yelü is highly skilled in martial arts. He was just a little careless today. There will be plenty of time in the future, and we will have another opportunity to spar."
Although Yelü Deguang was displeased, he couldn't show it to Yelü Deguang's face.
He forced a smile, nodded, and replied:
"Thank you for your comfort, Prince Jin. We will surely have the opportunity to prove ourselves on the battlefield again."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan suggested:
"We may be on different sides, but we are all men of true character."
How about we go grab a drink together, and consider our earlier contest a friendly competition?
Yelü Deguang, however, said:
"After the competition, I would like to witness Miss Qiu's mystical arts."
Seeing that Yelü Deguang was too obsessed and wouldn't stop until he appeared tonight, Qiu Ziyue said:
"Prince Yelü, I'm about to make a fool of myself. Are you ready to take my challenge?"
Yelü Deguang said:
"Come on, Miss Qiu, I want to experience the power of your mystical arts."
Tao Akun witnessed the competition firsthand. Although he was injured, he was still eager for more and said happily:
"Qiu Ziyue, come on, I don't believe I can't figure out your mystical techniques."
Qiu Ziyue laid the jade flute horizontally and quietly unlocked the code on it by hand.
Her lips parted slightly, and a beautiful melody began to drift out.
The sound was clear and melodious, like a mountain spring flowing gently, or like a hundred birds singing in the forest.
For a moment, everyone present was captivated by this heavenly sound, and even their breathing seemed to pause for a moment.
As the melody began, Qiu Ziyue's fingers danced lightly on the jade flute, each movement as elegant and fluid as a dance.
As the melody deepened, the originally gentle music suddenly transformed, becoming passionate and mysterious.
A thin mist seemed to rise in the air, separating her from Yelü Deguang, Tao Akun, and the others.
To create a fantasy world that belongs only to her.
Yelü Deguang and others had originally prepared to confront the overwhelming force of the thunderbolt.
However, at this moment, Qiu Ziyue's jade flute music was exceptionally gentle and beautiful, completely devoid of any murderous intent.
"Is Miss Qiu's mystical arts really that simple? How can they be so powerful? It must be just a baseless rumor."
Yelü Mingyao said:
"Brother, don't worry. Her claim of sweeping away thousands of troops is not unfounded. That demoness has some tricks up her sleeve, so be careful."
