New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Xiaoyanzi and the others stood aside, staring at the ring. At this time, several rounds of victory and defeat had already been decided in the surrounding rings, but in the ring where Tiexiong and the others were, the two were still fighting fiercely, going back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who was better. Xiaoyanzi suddenly had an idea in her mind, and she turned around and said to the people around her: "Shall we make a bet?" Hearing this, the other onlookers nodded one after another, indicating that they were willing to participate.

So, the fifteen people present decided to participate in this gambling together. The stakes were not high, just the cost of a meal. They wanted to bet on who would win between the two people fighting below. Every day, each person took out one tael of silver, and Xiaoyanzi, as the initiator of this proposal, took out one more tael, totaling two taels of silver. In this way, the fifteen people raised a total of sixteen taels of silver and placed the silver neatly on the table. Afterwards, they divided the sixteen taels of silver into two equal parts, one for Tiexiong's victory and the other for Li Yao's victory.

The other fourteen people couldn't help laughing when they saw Xiaoyanzi's excited expression, and they all agreed. So, the sixteen taels of silver were divided into two parts, and everyone started to choose the contestant they supported.

Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Erkang, Ertai, Yongqi, Luo Junchen and Liu Hong chose Tiexiong without hesitation because they thought he was tall and mighty and had a great chance of winning.

However, Benjamin, Anyaxin, Liu Qing, Qianyue, Mu Yunzhi, Huo Yuqi, Xiao Feng and Qing'er unexpectedly chose Li Yao. They thought that although Li Yao was not as good as Tiexiong, he was agile and might be able to create miracles.

Xiaoyanzi quickly dragged a large table over and asked everyone to sit around it. Then, she divided the money into two halves and used a teacup to represent Li Yao and Tiexiong on the stage below. Everyone placed the money next to the corresponding teacup according to their own wishes.

Just as the money was put away, a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly came from outside the window. Everyone rushed to the window, curious to know whether Tiexiong and Li Yao below had already decided the winner.

The crowd below was seen cheering and shouting, and it was so noisy that one could not hear what they were saying. Everyone could only look at the stage. The most conspicuous thing was the ring in the middle, where Tiexiong and Li Yao were standing motionless.

The two men pointed their weapons at each other. Li Yao's sword was placed on Tiexiong's neck. As long as he moved slightly, the sharp sword would instantly cut his neck.

Tiexiong's hammer was pointing right at Li Yao's head, as if it would smash his head if he wasn't careful.

The strange posture of the two people made people exclaim and wonder who won. After all, it looked like a tie.

Xiaoyanzi and the others had just placed their bets, and they all hoped that the person they chose would win. For a moment, they stared at the stage nervously.

"I think Tiexiong should win!" Xiaoyanzi said excitedly. She thought Tiexiong was tall and strong, so he should be stronger.

"Not necessarily. Li Yao is an agile swordsman. Who knows, he might have some special skills." Qing'er reminded. She was more optimistic about Li Yao's skills and flexibility.

"Anyway, this game was really exciting!" Erkang exclaimed. He was shocked by the strength of the two.

"Yeah, I don't know who will win in the end." Yongqi couldn't help but say, he silently prayed in his heart that the person he bet on would win.

The atmosphere on the field was extremely tense, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result to be revealed.

At this moment, a beautiful figure floated down from the high platform and landed on the ring like a blooming flower. This beautiful woman was Miss Yunyan, and her appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. At the same time, the five powerful people sitting in the referee's seat, including Mr. Lin and the four sect leaders, also stood up in unison. With their keen eyesight and rich experience, they have clearly seen the outcome of this competition.

At this time, Mr. Lin was the first to speak: "Congratulations, Li Yao won!" His voice was loud and powerful, spreading throughout the square. When everyone heard the result, there was an uproar.

Some people who didn't see the details of the battle couldn't help but question: "Did Li Yao really win? He is agile and light, but this doesn't mean he is stronger than Tiexiong! Tiexiong is big and strong, how could he lose the game? Is there some inside story?"

Others who heard these words could not help but begin to have doubts. After all, compared with Tiexiong, Li Yao was indeed insignificant. He was able to fight Tiexiong to a draw, which fully proved his strength. However, his final victory over Tiexiong still made people feel unbelievable.

Even Xiaoyanzi and the others were surprised. Although they had no doubts about the judgment of Mr. Lin and the others, they still had a trace of doubt in their hearts. Li Yao actually managed to break through Tiexiong's rock-solid defense? This was beyond imagination!

Miss Yunyan chuckled, and her leisurely voice sounded slowly, like a clear spring flowing through the anxious and suspicious hearts of the crowd. She stood gracefully in the center of the ring, motioning the two contestants to put down their weapons. Then, she stretched out her jade hand, gently pointed at the faint bloodstain on Tiexiong's neck, and said softly: "Don't worry, everyone, please look here."

In the fierce battle just now, the two fought so hard that they were entangled, making it difficult for everyone to see their final movements. At this moment, Miss Yunyan began to explain in detail: "Because Li Yao was so light, he kept circling around Tiexiong, which made Tiexiong gradually anxious because he could not catch Li Yao. In addition, his body was a little bloated, and his turning became a little stiff, not as flexible as Li Yao.

Tiexiong felt trapped by Li Yao, because Li Yao always circled around him but did not attack him directly, which made him feel irritated and uneasy. Tiexiong wanted to catch Li Yao and defeat him, but Li Yao was too flexible and he could not catch him at all. In this situation, Tiexiong became more and more impatient and finally revealed a flaw. This flaw could be a manifestation of his unstable mood, distraction, or mistakes in his movements. For Li Yao, this was a great opportunity to launch an attack and gain an advantage.

Li Yao was very aware of this weakness, and at the critical moment, he took the lead in putting his sword against Tiexiong's neck. At this time, Tiexiong finally reacted and hurriedly aimed his hammer at Li Yao, but it was too late. The victory of the two was already decided at this moment, so Tiexiong lost.

Of course, it is undeniable that both of them are masters of outstanding martial arts. Thank you for the wonderful competition. "

After Yunyan's explanation, everyone finally understood what had just happened. Many people had watched other competitions before and didn't pay attention to this side, so they didn't know what strategy Li Yao used later.

Now hearing about it, everyone marveled at Li Yao's cunning, but this is also a kind of martial arts. He can cleverly surround Tie Xiong and always look for weaknesses. Isn't this a manifestation of wisdom?

Tiexiong looked at the boy below who was not as tall as him with complicated eyes. He didn't expect that he would lose in this way. It really made him feel embarrassed, but at the same time he was grateful that he had found his fatal weakness.

He clasped his hands together and looked at the other person with gratitude, "Li Yao, right? Boy, I remember that you are very good. I will go back and continue to practice martial arts. I will definitely challenge you to a duel in the future."

As the winner, Li Yao was neither arrogant nor impatient, and he was not smug. Instead, he still had some lingering fear. After all, Tiexiong was indeed a difficult character, and his victory was really just a fluke.

Hearing Tiexiong praising him, his lips curled up slightly, and he clasped his hands together and said, "You are also very good. I am happy to compete with you next time."

Tiexiong looked at him deeply, then jumped off the ring and walked out of the city gate without hesitation. He wanted to go back to practice in seclusion and practice his body skills more. He must not lose in this aspect again in the future.

"Xiaoyanzi, you lose, hahahaha, give me the money."
