The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 111 - Shen Xuemei's Battle
Huang Kun and Liu Bei had descended from the arena and were directly directed towards a special room for the medics to treat, they walked far apart or rather Liu Bei kept his distance.
Liu Bei did not want to glance at Huang Kun, with a limp walk assisted by the medics finally they separated in different rooms to get treatment in order to recover, and Huang Kun himself had to prepare for the next fight.
Match after game had lasted almost two hours, many sect representatives were falling apart, some spectators were disappointed and others were happy.
Next a girl armed with a spear came forward and at the same time a handsome young man climbed the stage, for a moment everyone's gazes were locked onto the young man.
"Hey... Who her? Have you ever seen him? I don't think he's an ordinary person..."
"You're aware of that? The young man included such a superior participant, just look at him I already know!"
"Ah, at most he was just like the previous participant. Xiu Juan is going to be champion one."
After the debate began again, they were confusing each other's heroes without caring about the surrounding. Unexpectedly the fight had already started, while everyone was busy with their respective chatter, Xin Fai who was sitting in his chair was stunned to see the look of the young man standing in the arena of the match.
Earlier when the young man passed the participant seat, Xin Fai was a little hesitant with his guess but at this moment he could confirm who that person was. He was Lan An, a person who had a great contribution to the development in his current sword technique.
From Lan An, Xin Fai learned many things. He greatly admired the young man and could not possibly forget his figure.
If Xin Fai could not remember that there was currently an official match, then he would definitely approach the person he had considered to be that family.
"Sister An... His strength was far greater than the one I saw last time. He must be training hard just like me."
Xin Fai smiled wryly as Lan An was completely unaware of her presence, she noticed the fight between Lan An and her opponent. The fight was only balanced for a few minutes until finally the girl with the spear began to be cornered because Lan An was an opponent that was too strong for him.
Lan An smiled sweetly at the girl making her blush in embarrassment, she did not expect to get that smile at the end of the fight.
Xin Fai was instantly disgusted. "Not only was his strength increasing, but his strange attitude was also becoming more acute... Aih, Brother An this."
The fight was easily won by Lan An, his enemy could also be said to be weak. In just less than five minutes, Lan An had been declared the winner.
Lan An had entered the space that had been prepared for the second round later, now only about a hundred more people had yet to fight at all including Xin Fai and Shen Xuemei.
After that Shen Xuemei finally advanced against a fan-wielding girl, Shen Xuemei was completely indifferent to the flickering eyes as if teasing her, she put on a cold face like the south polar ice.
Yang Guifei said the match started and without hesitation the girl stormed him. Shen Xuemei put up the best self-defense possible for a few minutes, he just stalled for time so that the girl was exhausted.
But his estimation was wrong, his opponent was not exhausted after ten minutes of fighting at full strength. He was still attacking incessantly like the beginning.
It made Shen Xuemei start to get caught off guard, he intended to end the fight as quickly as possible. The girl laughed while covering her mouth using a fan.
"Haihihah... Don't just because your face is handsome, you're so arrogant just to defend my attack."
Shen Xuemei did not reply, she began to prepare for a serious fight to hasten her fight.
"What made you change your mind until you hurriedly finished it this fast? I think you can play with me for a minute."
The girl licking her lips made Shen Xuemei goosebumps amusedly, she was a young man who was foreign to being female. That was what made Shen Xuemei completely devoid of female companions.
The opponent flapped his weapon and came out the wind blade from the fan, Shen Xuemei was unable to see the direction of the attack because the shape of the wind blade was very transparent.
Knowing Shen Xuemei could not see the wind blade's movement, his opponent increasingly violently unleashed attacks from various directions.
"Hihihi..don't ever underestimate a girl like me again if you don't want to lose easily."
"Ck." Finally, Shen Xuemei's voice sounded and even that was just a sound of whispering made the girl scowl annoyed.
"I'm tired of talking like a madman and you just respond with a bang? How cruel!"
The girl's frustration turned out to be bad, unexpectedly it turned out that her opponent's strength was quite strong or even stronger than Shen Xuemei.
The whispers of the audience were faintly heard in Li Yong's ears, the priest was very hopeful for his disciple this one. Li Yong had never expected Huang Kun to win his first fight and get rid of one of the powerful young warriors from the tournament.
Now that Li Yong had become very hopeful to the three representatives of the Lotus Temple sect, he put on a confident face but that expression only lasted for a few moments.
Shen Xuemei did not look as confident as before, the whispers on the spectator bench faintly sounded in the ears but Li Yong could still hear them.
"Hey, that fan girl... Have you heard of it?"
"Ah, no, why?"
"Have you heard of the Iron Skull sect?"
"What's!? So she was the girl from the big sect? His name was so mysterious, the Iron Skull sect had heavily sealed itself off from the martial world yet today they appeared!'
The rowdy spectator looked at the girl from the Iron Skull sect. The reason, the Iron Skull sect was one of the strongest neutral flow sects that always closed themselves. It was said that many young heroes grew up in this sect without being scattered to the outside world.
This sect became one of the sects that was so respected because of its greatness in fighting the black flow for the past decades, with just one hero they could kill up to hundreds of black warriors let alone say one of the limitless warriors came from there.
Shen Xuemei certainly understood the situation better than the others, he felt the first start of his fight was not as easy as he thought.
While thinking Shen Xuemei continued to look at the Iron Skull girl who was looking at her with a seductive look.
The young man closed his eyes slowly.
Everything seemed to stop, the spectators were silent waiting for the next moment of the fight.
As he opened his eyes, Shen Xuemei suddenly disappeared from the blink of an eye. The Iron Skull Girl smiled cynically.
"Don't think that with just that speed you can fool me."
The fan pointed backwards produced dozens of sharp wind blades.
Shen Xuemei clicked because he felt weak in long-range attacks, if he currently had Xin Fai's Daan Village Wind style then victory would definitely be in his hands.
Shen Xuemei moved agilely as if indifferent to the wind blades that were scratching the floor of the match, the girl still laughed like a dapper grandmother.
Shen Xuemei realized the comparison of the strength of the two of them was only thinly different. More precisely this Iron Skull girl was one of the heroes in the big sect whereas she was the number 1 hero in the middle sect.
The Iron Skull Girl was certainly a little stronger than him, hence Shen Xuemei tried to figure out a way to conquer his opponent.
