The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 127 - Final Round - Top 8
The tournament of the final round began with a festive start, the spectators cheering enthusiastically looking at the eight finalists who had been present. Many called out to Xiu Juan as well as Yu Yuwen, seeing that no one was interested in naming his friend Huang Kun shouted loudly.
"Shen Xuemei's! Faifal! Fight!!!"
Both of the people he cheered turned face to face, this was really embarrassing for them. Huang Kun did not care, he scoffed witfully while scratching his non-itchy head. Everyone was now looking at him in wonder.
Moments later two participants climbed into the arena of the match simultaneously, one of them was from the White Fog Valley Sect named Xiu Juan while the other was Han Dachu.
Xiu Juan who has a beautiful face is of course an idol of other warriors. His wiggly fingers held the handle of the sword firmly, although his body was small but his movements were very powerful.
Han Dachu smiled for a moment. "I didn't think today I would fight with a most famous young swordsman like you."
Xiu Juan responded to just that. "Thank you, let's fight fair."
The exchange of moves began from the first one quickly became very fast until at a glance their weapons became several and continued to attack from different directions.
"This is great! Xiu Juan's strength was indeed like the rumors being talked about!"
"Han Dachu can keep up with Xiu Juan's speed? It's really awesome."
"Ah, can compensate even Princess Xiu Juan will still win as hard as before."
Xiu Juan played the sword with all his abilities, no matter if his opponent was weak or strong he was always serious about fighting. His high-level concentration was not even at all split apart by Han Dachu's counterattack.
As Han Dachu charged forward with striking Xiu Juan's sword, they defended each other's swords in three seconds, causing a chafing sound that grieved anyone.
Retreating a few steps, Han Dachu took a breath and quickly got in front of Xiu Juan.
Xiu Juan retaliated against the attack with just as much force, no one was intending to budge considering this was the capture of the honorable Imperial Pillar seat. Xiu Juan snapped his weapon and managed to make Han Dachu's horses weaken.
The girl used the momentum by launching her best attack, she attacked like a monster. Even the audience was made to shake their heads after knowing the true strength of Xiu Juan.
Before this fight Xiu Juan had only used a portion of his strength due to an unbalanced opponent, seeing as Han Dachu could compensate him being forced to exert more strength.
The sect elder of the White Fog Valley smiled with satisfaction at Xiu Juan, he indeed never doubted the strength of this girl who was said to be almost on par with great warriors.
Han Dachu was further cornered because Xiu Juan was continuously attacking without letting him breathe, his wrists were starting to ache with each clash of weapons from this girl, in just a second he had to endure three to five terrifying slashes.
Xiu Juan's last attack made Han Dachu fall helpless, he could no longer withstand this girl's attack. Behind the beauty of his face, Han Dachu felt a sinister air circling around Xiu Juan.
The first match was finished and won by Xiu Juan, applause echoed on the bench of the crowd who were quite satisfied with the outcome of this fight. They were impatiently waiting for the second fight that Shen Xuemei and Yu Yuwen would fill.
After recalling the incident that befell Shen Xuemei yesterday, people started to not believe he could defeat Yu Yuwen, this opponent besides being invincible was also in top condition.
Yu Yuwen looked at him observantly. "Are you sure you want to fight under such conditions?"
"I'm sure."
"alright... I will not hold back just because your body is still not good."
Yu Yuwen came forward with his sword drawn out, The Light Steps made the young man's movement as if it were just a white shadow, within a few seconds there was a screeching sword in the middle of Shen Xuemei and Yu Yuwen. Yu Yuwen's attack pattern could indeed be said to be complicated and difficult to replicate, this was what made him very famous in the Shang Empire.
Shen Xuemei even got dragged up to a meter to resist Yu Yuwen's attack, he tried to enter the attack but he had unwittingly made a gap until Yu Yuwen attacked back with full force.
Shen Xuemei bounced off the spot, trying to get up on her feet with two hands. Although Li Yong had already said that he did not need to be burdened because he had to become a top 3 yet Shen Xuemei still wanted to force himself. He simply did not want to lose to a little young man who was watching him at the moment.
'Shit! It should be my victory day!' his mind swore unacceptable, he had prepared himself from the beginning to follow this round but things were not at all as he expected. Shen Xuemei rested on her sword while raising her face, she could see Yu Yuwen was waiting until she could stand up.
"I will not attack you with such weak horses. Quickly fight seriously, if you want you can just give up without having to bother like this."
"No way!"
Shen Xuemei's snapping along with his quick run, he headed towards Yu Yuwen and in an instant there was a clash of extremely powerful weapons.
Shen Xuemei began to waver as she felt the pain within her body felt again, just as the current medical chief said her organs were not functioning properly and correctly. Continuing a match like this was just like destroying his own body.
"I respect your hard work," Yu Yuwen said propping up the sword on his shoulder after keeping a distance with Shen Xuemei. "But the circumstances are very unlikely, if it continues this way I am even like a coward who is attacking the sick."
Hearing Yu Yuwen's words, Shen Xuemei was completely inconsolable. He growled while crying out loudly. "Easy! No need to pity me!"
"Hm? Still stubborn too?"
Shen Xuemei could not remain silent, however Tao Wei very much wished himself to sit in the seat of the venerable Imperial Pillar to replace him.
Tao Wei himself was an Imperial Pillar ranked tenth, the older he got the more passive he fought on the battlefield. But even so Qin Gaozu still guarantees Tao Wei will remain a pillar of the Empire until his retirement considering the many services performed by the priest.
This second battle was one-sided, clearly Shen Xuemei forced himself even though at the end he had to accept defeat after fighting desperately.
Yu Yuwen stuffed his sword in the sheath while saying calmly. "I told you, your efforts are great. I admit that, but other than trying to see your own body condition."
Shen Xuemei fell crouching as she felt her inner body being torn apart, but the medical team who were getting ready immediately picked her up.
