The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 61: Nine Dragons Tournament: Round of 8
The atmosphere in the stadium was quite lively as they all talked about the eight names that would compete in the last eight of the Nine Dragons Tournament. Especially the last match of the last round of sixteen became a warm conversation because of the figure of Jing Yang who came to Mei Hua bravely.
The boisterous voice was silent as Ye Long called out the two names of the participants who were going to compete in the opening match of the last eight.
“Two names that get a first turn match please go forward!” Ye Long spoke loudly.
Ma Xinxuan and Duan Zhaoyang directly descended onto the ground stage. The two saluted Ye Long before facing each other, staring at each other.
Ye Long again explained the rules of the match to Ma Xinxuan and Duan Zhaoyang first before telling the two participants to keep their distance.
“Take the distance and wait for the match from me!” Ye Long signaled Ma Xinxuan and Duan Zhaoyang to keep his distance. “With this the opening match of the last eight round begins!”
After Ye Long started the match. Ma Xinxuan directly drew his sword and moved quickly using body lightening science while attacking Duan Zhaoyang from various directions.
“Brother Duan! Take out all your power! We're enlivening this fight!” Ma Xinxuan confidently released a murderous aura at Duan Zhaoyang.
“As you wish!” Duan Zhaoyang started to play his sword. First he repelled Ma Xinxuan's sword slash before replying to it. Then Duan Zhaoyang tried to follow Ma Xinxuan's nimble speed rhythm.
Ma Xinxuan held back Duan Zhaoyang's sword slash. The two sword blades met each other and made the two look at each other before exchanging attacks. The bodily auras of the two participants overflowed around their bodies even the profound energy that coated their swords made damage to the ground stage as the two sword blades met and slashed at each other. That gathering of sword energy caused damage.
“Good. You turned out to be very excited Brother Duan!” Ma Xinxuan started to play his sword aggressively. His sword movements increased rapidly and sharpened.
Ma Xinxuan realized Duan Zhaoyang was not at his best. After fighting fiercely against Feng Xian of the Wind Hill Sect, Duan Zhaoyang's stamina and strength were not at his best. Of course Ma Xinxuan did not waste the opportunity to slightly torture the participants from the Nine Dragons Palace.
Although Duan Zhaoyang had absorbed the properties of the Demon Gems or the resources that the Nine Dragons Palace provided. But the healing effect takes time.
“Your defense is so weak, Brother Duan!” Ma Xinxuan swung his sword faster than before.
The spectators watching the match felt Duan Zhaoyang's movements slowing down. The exchange of attacks was more dominated by Ma Xinxuan.
The exchange of dozens of moves from Ma Xinxuan and Duan Zhaoyang made severe damage to the ground stage. But the energy they use is also really draining. Neither from the aura nor the inner energy. If Ma Xinxuan and Duan Zhaoyang were not good at controlling then they would not be able to compete in the next round.
“What's up, Brother Duan?!” Ma Xinxuan observed Duan Zhaoyang's movements. When the distance between the two is approaching. Immediately Ma Xinxuan slashed his sword which was drenched in energy.
Duan Zhaoyang gritted his teeth. “Bother!” Duan Zhaoyang's chest that had a scar was slashed back. Not deep, but the wound is open again.
Ma Xinxuan smiled cynically. Yet the young man from the Red Full Moon did not wish to injure one of the warriors from the Nine Dragons Palace too badly. So he jumped backwards and intended to end the game with one sure attack.
“Bloody Steel!”
Ma Xinxuan released his bodily aura along with his inner power. He then pulled out his sword from a distance. A slash that formed a red full moon was moving at high speed attacking Duan Zhaoyang.
That powerful clash of energies made Duan Zhaoyang's body bounce far back. While Ma Xinxuan was still standing because he kept his strength as much as possible to fight in the semi-finals. Although a gust of wind hit his body and made him close his eyes, but Ma Xinxuan still felt that there was something lacking in his mind.
“Competition without killing will feel tasteless!” Ma Xinxuan laughed softly and returned to the special spectator bench of the swordsman of the Red Full Moon.
Unknowingly Ma Xinxuan had offended the new Ye Long raising his hand and had yet to announce Ma Xinxuan as the winner.
“Winner Ma Xinxuan!”
Ye Long immediately signaled the Nine Dragons Palace swordsman to give first aid to Duan Zhaoyang.
After seeing Duan Zhaoyang being treated. Ye Long called out the next two participants' names. “Dong Yuan and Gu Hao! Please go forward!”
Quickly the two of them immediately descended onto the ground stage. Ye Long again explained the rules of the match to Dong Yuan and Gu Hao.
“If you remember it. Then immediately take the distance and wait for the match from me!” Ye Long took a breath and looked at the two participants. “Start!”
Gu Hao laughed looking at Dong Yuan. “Do not hold back when fighting against me, Brother Dong!” His hand drew his sword. Then Gu Hao darted forward launching an opening attack.
“Alright, alright..” Dong Yuan instantly drew his sword and stared intently at Gu Hao.
The two swords met. The sound of the sword clashing was so loud it sounded as the two started exchanging slashes. The movement of both is so fast because it uses the science of lightening the body.
After exchanging slashes. Gu Hao and Dong Yuan again moved at high speed and exchanged attacks. Over thirty strikes, both of them were still fighting fiercely.
“I want to fight with you in the Deadly Life Arena!” Gu Hao grinned looking at Dong Yuan.
“Do not force the teachings of the black stream on me. That competition you're talking about is a slaughterhouse!” Dong Yuan was visibly provoked by Gu Hao's words. “The Sword of Three Kings! I swear a lifetime will erase that name!”
Gu Hao released a murderous aura and smiled grinningly. “True, like that. I want to see your true form filled with anger!”
“The strong will prey on the weak! This world is such a place! Don't talk about ambition if you can't beat me!”
Gu Hao shouted quite loudly. And his swordplay started to change so quickly. His sword slashes increased sharply and the aura that layered his sword made Dong Yuan have trouble holding him back.
Slashes and sword slashes began to hit Dong Yuan's entire body.
To compensate for Gu Hao's aggressive swordplay. Dong Yuan released a murderous aura to counter the intimidation from Gu Hao. Then he twisted his body quickly while swinging his sword.
“The Fire Dragon Whirl!”
