The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 43 - Preliminary Round I: Individual Duel II
Meanwhile in various arenas with different buildings had also started the first preliminary round. There were even already participants who had accumulated 30 points with consecutive landslide wins; yun Mei was at the top of the chain. The most resplendent disciple of the Bing Empire.
In other buildings there was a furore that attracted attention. He was Lun Ning the Sand Dust element user who destroyed the building's pillars and nearly knocked down one place with his devastating power. There was a fierce fight between Lun Ning and Xiao Rong. The two ferocious predators met each other in the same cage.
Although his ears heard such a gripping sound from all sides, Xue Zhan tried to remain calm. His teeth were tightly fused. On the top floor Jiazhen Yan was definitely fighting and would probably snatch hundreds of points greedily. He didn't want to lose, it was so annoying when the demon made fun of him.
"Participant number 666 against participant number 659! Both participants please come forward and prepare!"
Tang Quan shouted out loudly, observing the two youths who were about to appear at the fight this time.
Xue Zhan against Kun Xiao.
The person who would be his opponent had dexterity and hard defense, balanced with his large tall posture. Compared to that at the age of 15 years Kun Xiao has muscles like a 22-year-old adult man, his face looks rather old. He carried the sword hoisted on the right side of his waist, walked in full courtesy and gave a greeting of introduction.
"My name is Kun Xiao, this is just a fight, but I hope you don't hate me. I'll beat you."
His polite words signaled a warning. Xue Zhan withdrew a smile without much replying, "Please help her."
Kun Xiao pulled his left leg back, slightly lowered with one hand raising the sword. The other hand was at the front, gesturing for Xue Zhan, "Majulah."
Xue Zhan's hand hung on his side, reluctantly pulling the sword from there. While the fight has begun. He could not continue to remain silent, yet when looking ahead at where Kun Xiao was standing holding a weapon with horses without any gap his heart began to hesitate.
'First heat up and then tell me to come forward, is he cheating on me?'
Xue Zhan was deep, he pulled the tip of the sword while his eyes and the enemy met each other.
"All right!" exclaim Xue Zhan. Regardless of the enemy's defense, the only way to win is to fight.
Kun Xiao drew a sly smile.
"Maybe you're strong, but you're easily fooled. The innocent devil."
A famous movement that was only passed down to the descendants of his clan instantly appeared. Kun Xiao took out one of his best cards in the beginning. When Xue Zhan was within his range, the young man charged forward.
Turned around Xue Zhan and moved behind his opponent's back with one hand raising the sword that was right around Xue Zhan's back neck.
"You're stuck" he said still with a triumphant look, this fight he had seen so clearly. It wasn't difficult for him to pull off a trick for a classmate of Xue Zhan's.
"Aren't you?"
Kun Xiao did not have time to retaliate, it should be in this position that he was in complete control because if Xue Zhan moved he could directly slit her. However, a sharp wind shot up, hitting Kun Xiao's palm so that the sword in his hand was released.
He took a short distance to learn what had just happened.
His eyes opened, not expecting him to miss anything.
There was a thin force that from the beginning had already been above the arena even before he started. The thin wind whirled in a circle under Xue Zhan's feet, his extremely thin existence making him difficult to realize. And the wind has almost no shape. How could Kun Xiao see him using only the naked eye?
"Play tricks too? I don't think this time you're able to avoid it."
Xue Zhan was anticipating right and left, feeling that his opponent's talk might be dangerous. He looked back at Kun Xiao, the young man's sword was no longer in his hand even though it had fallen because of the attack he had made. But Kun Xiao did not seem to be a careless person who easily let go of such an important sword, which became the decisive victory in this round.
But unexpectedly the sword did not stop there, it targeted Xue Zhan and slashed down like it was in the grasp of a real human. Hard enough to dodge, Xue Zhan looked towards Kun Xiao at a glance. But it seemed that the young man did not control the sword at all.
"The Sword that Has a Life? Is there anything like this?" he was surprised, not used to seeing the sight. One incision successfully hit his face, Xue Zhan waited for the movement of the sword to slow down and it only got faster. That thing must be an expensive heirloom. Otherwise mana might have abilities beyond common sense like this.
"You're amazed, right? I told you, I'll beat you! Back off while you have time!"
"I haven't even pulled my sword yet, you're the one who came home and whined to your mother asking for a new sword!" Xue Zhan kicked the hilt of the sword, pulled out the sword and held back the slash that charged straight. On the other side Kun Xiao started to approach, seemingly wanting to attack from his weak point.
"Don't linger too long! Each fight must not last more than five minutes or you both fall!" Tang Quan exclaimed loudly, without warning giving any unreasonable rules. He was the supervisor at that place and had full authority in the course of the fight.
"I'll give you twenty seconds! If there is no winner say welcome to the Intermediate Swordsman Exam in another year and a half!"
Amidst the siege from the two sides of Xue Zhan getting chaotic, Kun Xiao turned aggressive and instantly created a move. That unfathomable state forced Xue Zhan to think.
"Five!"
From twenty seconds suddenly the man instantly counted down to five seconds, the Kun Xiao container turned desperate and instantly attacked rashly from the front. His heirloom sword flew all the way up and swooped sharply down, right where Xue Zhan was standing at the moment.
"Four!"
"Three!"
Xue Zhan said little, 'Thinking like a selfish animal, defending yourself individually, I understand.'
"Two!"
Xue Zhan caught the sharp moving sword on it and threw it towards Kun Xiao who was running towards him. The sword pierced through the young man's ear tip, the powerful straight throw until it cracked the floor where it was stuck.
Slightly missed, but still about the enemy.
Blood dripped on Kun Xiao's ear. His eyes widened. He had not even had the chance to attack Xue Zhan.
"Fight over! The sequence number 666 gets five points, 659 zero points!"
Xue Zhan was stunned.
"Five points?"
"What rules am I saying is unclear?" Tang Quan turned to her cynically. "Ten points if you win. Your enemy does not admit defeat, is not unconscious or receives fatal injuries. Five points is more than enough for that. Or want to get zero points too?"
"I understand. No, thank you."
There was disappointment in his heart. This way Xue Zhan had to fight 3 times and had to win. His opponent looked at Xue Zhan full of hate, he made a sound,
"It's just a fight, I hope you don't hate me because I beat you."
Xue Zhan turned his words over earlier. Enough to reply to Kun Xiao's previous taunts. Even though his own condition cannot be said to be good.
