Chapter 110 110
?"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
"Amazing!"
"They are awesome! Be it their looks or strength!"
The spectators shouted excitedly after hearing Jin Zhaohui's words. They rose from their seats and clapped their hands to express their praise and satisfaction. The fight between Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin was fantastic for two cultivators at the late stage of the Earth Origin realm.
Unfortunately, both of them were declared defeated by the referee and did not pass to the next round because they lost consciousness simultaneously. This way, Gi Qingyang would directly advance to the finals without fighting again.
After hearing Lin Zhaohui's announcement, Tenku quickly dashed into the arena to check the two girls' condition. Wang Zeming and Gu Qingyang had also stood up from their seats and also had the same intention as him.
After all, Wang Ruyue was his future wife, and Gu Qingyang was utterly obsessed with her. So he should know her condition. Unfortunately, Tenku moved faster than him.
Wang Zeming chased after Tenku while Gu Qingyang could only clench his fists tightly and sat back in his seat. It would be fine if he were the first to move into the arena to check on Wang Ruyue and show concern for her. But he would lose face if he followed behind those two people from the Wang family.
After entering the arena, Tenku moved Huang Yuxin next to Wang Ruyue slowly and gently. Then he checked the condition of the two. He doesn't have much medical knowledge but knows how to check someone's condition. Tenku sighed in relief after knowing that they were fine.
Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue lost consciousness due to exhaustion and running out of Qi. They push themselves too hard in battle. Luckily both of them only suffered external injuries and did not get severe internal injuries.
"How are they? Are they seriously injured?" Wang Zeming asked worriedly. He also cared about Huang Yuxin because she had been with them these few days, and Wang Zeming had already considered her a friend.
"Both are fine. They weren't in a dangerous situation and had only lost their consciousness." Tenku replied without looking at Wang Zeming.
"Thank goodness! I thought they were seriously injured because their match looked so fierce. Why are they fighting like that? Do they have personal problems?" Wang Zeming sighed in relief after hearing Tenku's answer, but then he was confused after thinking about why they fought so fiercely.
"I don't know. But they might wake up before the quarter-finals are over." Tenku shook his head and looked aside after feeling someone approaching them.
He saw six people from the medical team arrive with two stretchers. Tenku stood up and walked away from the two girls because she didn't want to disturb their work.
The medical team quickly examined the two girls and sighed after finding they were fine. Afterward, they took Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin to the infirmary.
Tenku and Wang Zeming returned to their seats after seeing the medical team leave to take Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin. But before he sat down, Tenku noticed the look of hatred directed at him. He knew it was from Gu Qingyang, and he ignored it.
The third match of the quarter-finals was postponed for fifteen minutes for arena repairs. After the repairs were completed, Jin Zhaohui called Wang Zeming and Lin Zhantian to the arena.
The two participants used swords as their weapons. Wang Zeming looked excited while Lin Zhantian closed his eyes and waited for Jin Zhaohui to start the match.
"Are you ready?" Jn Zhaohui looked at the two participants in the arena and asked.
"Yes." Wang Zeming answered briefly. Lin Zhantian opened his eyes and nodded at Jin Zhaohui's words.
"Well then, the third match of the quarter-finals begins!" Jin Zhaohui gave the signal for the start of the battle. Wang Zeming intended to attack first, but he stopped when he heard his opponent's voice.
"I will borrow Gu Qingyang's words to Long Aotian. Please give up. You are not my opponent. This match would only be a waste of time and effort. You don't want to be injured like Long Aotian, do you?" Lin Zhantian casually said. His words made Wang Zeming speechless and then frowned.
"I didn't expect that you were as arrogant as Gu Qingyang. Are you sure you can beat me with your proud swordsmanship?" Wang Zeming replied in annoyance. He didn't think that Lin Zhantian would say such a thing.
"I was kind enough to warn you. So don't blame me if you get badly injured in this match." Lin Zhantian sighed and shook his head. Then he looked at Wang Zeming, and his mood changed.
Wang Zeming's face changed as he felt something cut through the air, and he quickly moved from that place.
Slash!
The onlookers were confused when Wang Zeming suddenly moved from his position. But the remaining participants and elders knew what was happening in the arena.
"Do you think a trick like that will work on me? You can use it on other participants and maintain your one-strike record. But it is useless to me." Wang Zeming said confidently.
"Is that so?" Lin Zhantian replied indifferently.
Slash! Slash!
Wang Zeming quickly moved from his position and twisted his body in the air after feeling the two attacks coming at him. After successfully dodging that fast and invisible slash, he charged toward Lin Zhantian at top speed.
He couldn't keep dodging and being passive in the battle. Although Wang Zeming could deal with Lin Zhantian's attack, it was pretty troublesome as it was almost invisible. He could fall into a dangerous situation if he let down his guard even a bit.
As he moved closer to Lin Zhantian, Wang Zeming suddenly swung his sword into empty air because he noticed that Lin Zhantian was bombarding him with invisible slashes. But Wang Zeming could efficiently deal with it and continued to rush toward his opponent. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂
"Hee... I admit that I underestimated you. You have become stronger. But that is not enough." Lin Zhantian responded calmly when he saw Wang Zeming could deal with his attacks one after another.
Lin Zhantian and Wang Zeming often sparred together, but they hadn't done so in recent years. Of all his fights with Lin Zhantian, Wang Zeming had never won. That was the reason Lin Zhantian looked down on him. Moreover, his strength had significantly improved compared to the past. Lin Zhantian was confident that he could win the match easily.
But Lin Zhantian didn't expect it because his opponent had also become much stronger after he briefly fought Wang Zeming in that battle. Even so, it did not shake his confidence to be able to win the match.
"Is that so?" Wang Zeming had managed to close his distance from Lin Zhantian after dodging his opponent's invisible attacks and had arrived before him. Then he slashed his sword with compressed Qi. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m
Lin Zhantian quickly responded to the attack by swinging his sword and parrying Wang Zeming's slash.
Clank!
"My attack isn't over yet!" Wang Zeming gave Lin Zhantian consecutive attacks.
Rapid Slash!
The successive slashes that Wang Zeming used to attack Lin Zhantian were one of the moves of the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique. Even though he couldn't train it to a mastery level like Tenku, he could still use some of the moves from it and had honed them over the years.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Lin Zhantian managed to block Wang Zeming's attack with a high-speed slash, making his move invisible. Although his opponent's attacks were fast, Lin Zhantian's slashes did not lose to him and were even slightly superior.
"Your sword has become much faster and heavier than the last time we sparred. You have honed your swordsmanship extremely hard over the past few years. Unfortunately, I'm still way faster than you." Lin Zhantian said, and his slashes became much faster than before.
Wang Zeming frowned and quickly moved away from Lin Zhantian. But he couldn't completely dodge the attack, and several pieces of his armor were cut off. Wang Zeming had to admit Lin Zhantian's attacks were much faster than his. He was barely able to avoid his opponent's slash.
"Your sword is indeed faster than mine. But that doesn't mean I'll lose to you!" Wang Zeming gripped his sword tightly, and his cultivation base at the great perfection of the Earth Origin realm exploded from his body.
Lin Zhantian responded by unleashing his strength on the same cultivation base. After clashing swords with him in this battle, Lin Zhantian felt he couldn't underestimate him like before. Wang Zeming's strength exceeded his expectations, and he had to be serious about fighting against him.
"Come to me." Lin Zhantian said and pointed his sword at Wang Zeming.
Wang Zeming gritted his teeth and charged toward Lin Zhantian. Wang Zeming had tremendous pressure in that battle because he had never won when sparring against Lin Zhantian. But he couldn't lose in that match.
If he lost, the only remaining participant from the Wang family in the martial arts competition would be Tenku. Wang Zeming couldn't expect much from him because his opponent was so strong. Even though Tenku could win against Kong Ming, he would fight Lin Zhantian in the next match, and it would be impossible for him to win using his Earth Origin cultivation base.
Wang Zeming thought that the Wang family's chance of winning the competition would be slim if he lost this battle. Thus, he had to win against Lin Zhantian no matter what.
He moved in a zigzag pattern, like dodging something, but his clothes were slashed and damaged. Apart from that, Wang Zeming also suffered several light cuts on his cheeks and thighs. Even so, he managed to get close to Lin Zhantian and deliver his attack.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Lin Zhantian and Wang Zeming clashed their swords more than a dozen times and kept moving from the middle to the edges and back to the center of the arena again. Unlike Wang Ruyue's match against Huang Yuxin, which looked spectacular, Lin Zhantian and Wang Zeming's battle looked calmer.
But some high-level cultivators watching the match must have noticed their battle was no less fierce than the previous one. The slashes from the two of them were swift and made their attacks invisible. The spectators couldn't see it, but they could tell by the deep scars on the arena carved by their attacks.
Boooommmm!
But after stabilizing their bodies, they quickly launched another attack. Both of them compressed the Qi in their swords and slashed.
Thousands of Slashes!
Sword Rain!
