When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous! They were not enemies, not only were they not enemies, but they were good friends.Why do good friends become enemies?The reason is not complicated, the freezing three feet does not happen in a day, and since the matter has reached the present field, what happened back then is no longer important. The important thing is that they all identified the other as an enemy, and their hearts were full of hatred for each other, and they all believed that there was only one way to take revenge: use the other's blood to extinguish the fire of hatred in their hearts.

Enemies meet, not by chance, but at a time and place chosen and decided after almost simultaneously signaling to each other to end the hatred between each other. During this process, both sides have friends running around, some dissuading, some encouraging, and some fanning the flames. During this period, some are friends of one, some are friends of the other, and some are mutual friends of both of them. If we are friends, we will naturally have mutual friends. Are other people's opinions useful?I don't know, anyway, we all know the hatred between them, there is no other way to solve it except the result of the duel between you and me.

Therefore, when their enemies met, there were quite a few people on the sidelines. Some gloated and wanted to see who would be the survivor when they fought to the death; some were worried and saw the tragic result; I don’t know how many things like this kind of enemy fighting happen every day in Jianghu; Show them one by one, so that the people who watch it will be eye-opening. There were so many people, it was unavoidable that people's voices were noisy, but when there was a choke, and the two single knives were unsheathed at the same time, everyone fell silent.Originally, the people closest to them were about ten steps away, but those who were still within this distance felt the cold, cold flashes of the two sharp-edged knives approaching them, reminding people of an ominous death , so involuntarily, they retreated further away. Of course, when they were moving, they did not dare to make a sound, as quiet as the ghosts of mice.

Not long after the sun had risen, on the sides of the two people who were facing each other, the light shining on the knife from the sun, even if it was far away, made people feel palpitating; people already knew that there was a deep hatred between them , but they didn't know that the hatred was so deep. At this time, when their sharp knives were drawn, they understood that the blades of the two knives were shining with a blue brilliance under the sunlight, as if they were shining in the snow. The blade was edged with blue. Naturally, everyone knew what was going on, and they all coincidentally quenched the poison on the blade, seeing the poison that sealed the throat with blood!

Originally, it was a despicable behavior, feeding poison on weapons, a gentleman would not do it, and would never dare to show it openly in front of people. He could only kill people secretly without anyone noticing. But their current situation is different. The poison on the knife shows their determination to take revenge, and it also shows that in this duel, there is no injury, and if they are injured, they will die. Even if they only cut a little flesh, the result is death! The determination to die expresses the will to revenge! The onlookers were even quieter, staring at the two slowly raised sharp knives. It was strange that no one could recall the incident afterwards. What was the expression of the two of them at this moment?Because everyone's eyes are fixed on the two sharp knives, what does it matter what a person's expression is?Is it sad or happy?Is it joy or anger?None of it matters.

What matters is the sharp knife that can decide life or death. Even they themselves didn't notice each other's face, the face that appeared in front of them as soon as they closed their eyes so many times, the face that made the other party gnash their teeth with hatred, became unimportant at this moment.Is it round or square?Is it long or flat?It doesn't matter, the important thing is how to cut it open with one knife, so that the person with this face will die and no longer exist in the world! They must have thought of this at the same time, because almost at the same time, their bodies took a step forward, making the distance between the two of them a lot closer, and the two sharp knives also raised their hands. get higher.

The fight is about to start, and they are all thinking: Wait for him to start, and then I will respond, or attack first and wait for him to deal with it? Although it was not like this, it was like that, the fire of hatred accumulated for so many years must be ended by death, but this choice alone was so difficult to decide, and the stalemate continued. Of the two, who thought of cutting the other's face first, or at the same time, was naturally important, but wouldn't it be more important how to protect one's own face from being scratched by the other? They must have thought of it at the same time, because the two of them took another step back almost at the same time. The footsteps were so heavy that the onlookers felt the ground vibrate faintly.

With that step out, both of them thought: To protect one's own face from being cut open, the best way is to order the other party to die, but the other party will not stand still, so they must protect themselves. The sun rose slowly, and the onlookers changed their breath dozens of times. They thought at the same time: What would happen if there were no onlookers at all, just the two of them? The same thought flashed: turn around, run, leave! But in front of so many people, it must not be like this. They finally uttered almost desperate cries, and rushed forward. After the flash of the knife, there were two pillars of blood splashing.

They are satisfied. The onlookers were also satisfied.
