Shortly after Le Yuan's first round of the quarterfinals ended, the other three groups started fighting. The three winners in the end were all within Le Yuan's expectations, namely Tazmi, knight player Lille, and Kalbi from the Imperial Fist Temple's 9th Dan.
Without exception, these three people were promoted with a huge advantage in the quarterfinals. Each battle lasted less than ten minutes. It can be said that they have a great voice among the audience. After all four people advanced, the organizer did not let a few people continue to draw lots to decide the next opponent, but let the four people line up in a row and stand in front of Esdeath's seat.
With one hand supporting his face, Esdeath leaned on his seat and looked condescendingly at the four people in Le Yuan in silence. The indifference and depression revealed in his eyes made the muscular man Kalbi standing to the left of Le Yuan break into cold sweat on his clenched hands.
"despair-"
Esdeath put down her tilted thighs, stood up from her seat, looked at the four people at the bottom of the stairs with their fingers stretched out, and nodded to Le Yuan and Knight Lier: "You and you, continue. You will decide the winner of the next round, and the other group will compete after them!"
There was no choice between the four players, and they were directly assigned by Esdeath. After assigning the four opponents, Esdeath paid no attention to Tazmi, who was standing on the far left of the team and was about to freeze. Sunshine smiled, took the microphone and said to the people present: "Dear people of the empire, I want to announce a new news here. In the next martial arts performance, there will no longer be a restriction on four people fighting, as long as one of the parties does not surrender. So it doesn’t matter if he is killed, we are going to let the four brave contestants show their strongest strength! And the winner among them will get this!”
Following Esdeath's voice, Levi took out the box that had been prepared and lifted the red cloth on it.
"The Teigu was made by the first emperor. Anyone who can obtain the Teigu can become a high-ranking official in the imperial army!"
Esdeath's voice once again ignited the atmosphere of the audience. The legendary powerful Imperial Equipment that had been passed down for thousands of years was displayed in front of them, and such exciting rewards were also announced.
Among the four people present, the knight Lille and the muscular man Kalbi stared at the box containing the Teigu with bright eyes, as if the contents inside had already become theirs.
When Le Yuan and Lille stood on the ring again, Lille's eyes were already full of hate for victory. Although Le Yuan's performance just now was indeed good, in his opinion, how could a mere "native" be like him? Even though knight players who had experienced hundreds of battles were compared to each other, only Le Yuan and Tazmi, who knew the efficacy of this imperial weapon, dismissed it.
Lille held a silver shield with ornate patterns in his left hand, and a knight's sword with a golden hilt in his right hand. He slowly lowered his body, then looked at Le Yuan with an evil look and said: "I will definitely win this competition. Don't blame me for being ruthless. I hate you for overestimating your capabilities and wanting to be my opponent!"
Facing Lier's almost threatening words, Le Yuan just turned his head slightly and glanced at Tazmi in the audience, and Esdeath, who was staring at him with a scorching gaze. Although he didn't know where he attracted so much attention from Esdeath, he decided to continue fighting in order not to cause the mission to fail.
"In the first game of the semi-finals of the Martial Arts Conference, the East is the experienced knight Lille, while the West is the dark horse of this competition, Le Yuan. Now - the game begins!" Liva announced on the stage immediately after the start of the game. He jumped out of the ring to avoid being accidentally injured by the battle between the two people.
On the other side of the stage, "Heitong, who do you think will win between the two this time? I think it's the knight. His nearly perfect defense in the battle just now blocked the opponent's attack. Now the one without weapons It's such a pity that Le Yuan faced him." Will felt deeply that he had just misjudged Le Yuan's battle and couldn't hold his head up in front of Heitong. This time, he hoped to clear the stain on himself through this judgment.
The black pupil seemed to have completely ignored Will, holding the bag with his name embroidered on it, taking out the biscuits from it and eating it as if there was no one else around. At the same time, his eyes were fixed on Le Yuan motionlessly, and he murmured in his mouth: "The dessert house? I really want to take a look!"
Seeing the way Heitong ignored him, Will felt disappointed and immediately found a turning point in Chitong's words. He pointed at Le Yuan on the stage and said: "Let's make a bet. If you win, I'll treat you to a nice tour of his pastry shop. No matter how much you have, I'll cover it for you! But If I win, you can call me honestly from now on, how about brother Will?"
"Start at Will's pervert!" After hearing this bet request, Black Eyes looked at Will from looking at him as a tease to looking at him as a pervert, as if he despised the maggots in the sewer.
"No, I just want to compete with you to see who has more discernment." Will tried his best to explain, but his flustered look made it look like there was something serious.
"Kachi—" After Heitong bit into the biscuit, he looked at the ring and Le Yuan, who was "retreating" after being beaten by Lille, and said, "I bet that the snack boss will win!"
"Haha, aren't you asking for defeat? Don't you still know the situation on the field? That Le Yuan has no ability to fight back at all, and can barely even dodge Lille's attack!"
On the ring at this time, Lille, who had a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, protected himself with a shield and struck the enemy with his sword. There was no big gap between the attacks one after another. Le Yuan was almost "suppressed" by the cover of the shield. own front.
Another shield charge pushed Le Yuan back, and knight Lille suddenly shouted: "Sacrifice!" Suddenly Lille seemed to be protected by a god, and his momentum and strength increased by nearly 10%, and then Lille's knight The sword glowed with a faint white light, and a holy sword strike suddenly struck Le Yuan's chest from six meters away, as if teleporting.
"I win!" Just when the long sword in Lille's hand was about to pierce Le Yuan's chest, Lille suddenly noticed that the body of "Le Yuan" in front of him became weak, as if it had become an illusion that could collapse at the touch of a finger. A strong hand grabbed his wrist.
"Click—"
Lear's strong wrist made a clicking sound, and the powerful power contained in Le Yuan's seemingly weak body caused Lear to receive a fatal blow. Not only did the fatal blow hit the phantom, but Le Yuan's right hand was also broken. Le Yuan snatched the knight's sword from his hand, and then kicked Le Yuan to use it to save him. Field shield hits.
"Snapped-"
The two were separated again, but the situation on the court turned 180 degrees. Lille, who originally had the advantage and had been taking the initiative to launch attacks, not only lost his arm in this round of attacks, but also had his weapon taken away by Le Yuan, and his combat effectiveness suddenly dropped by more than 30%.
"You, were you just pretending? How could that kind of speed be possible?"
Lille, who had escaped temporarily, looked at Le Yuan with anger and fear. Under the spotlight, he had the idea of breaking the culprit Le Yuan into thousands of pieces, but then he thought of the ghost-like action just now, and his heart secretly rose. I started to feel withdrawn.
"Whoosh—"
Le Yuan did not give any answer to his question. He raised his sword and leaned forward quickly approaching Lille. Facing Le Yuan who was charging straight towards him, Lille involuntarily raised the shield in his hand, then resisted the urge to retreat and stared at Le Yuan's movements.
"Dangdangdang..."
Le Yuan's swordsmanship didn't seem to have any special features, and every blow was very direct. However, such a direct attack knocked Lille back with his shield raised. His shield defense, which was almost turned into intuition, had no effect at all. Le Yuan Yuan's sword seemed to see through the weaknesses of all his defensive moves, and every blow gave him the illusion of being unstoppable.
The successive retreats not only pushed Leal to the edge of the ring, but also pushed him to the edge of whether to give up. This time he came to participate in the martial arts competition, not only for the mission rewards, but also with the intention of avenging his crush, Leah, the girl who was killed by Le Yuan in a sneak attack.
In Lille's view, Lia was killed by the three beast warriors. If he switched sides, he would very likely kill the only surviving Liva. However, facing the unmatched Le Yuan, his heart There was a slight wavering.
"Ah, the shield of thorns counterattack!" Lear, who had no retreat, made the final resistance and used his move to press the bottom of the box. As soon as Le Yuan's sword came into contact with the shield in Lear's hand, it was emitted by the shield. A burst of dark green light bounced back, and Le Yuan's right hand holding the sword bounced back uncontrollably, and at the same time he received a blow out of thin air.
Looking at Le Yuan who had lost all his defenses, Lille felt that his chance had come, and he hit Le Yuan with a "Justice Shield Blow" that had the ability to stun him. Seeing Le Yuan being beaten back by him, Lille felt that his chance had come, "Charge!"
Concentrating all his strength on this blow, Lille only hoped that he could use the power of the charge to knock Le Yuan out of the ring.
Suddenly, Le Yuan's half-floating body disappeared from his eyes, and then the voice that belonged to Le Yuan flashed out: "You are overestimating your capabilities, die!"
With a sound of "chi-", Lille, who was charging, stopped in his tracks. A knight's sword behind him had completely pierced his heart, and blood dripped from the tip of the sword onto the ring.
Then Le Yuan's right hand shook, and the pupils of Lille's eyes suddenly dilated and then lost focus. Even with his body, when his heart was completely shattered, he lost his life.
"It seems that I have won. Prepare your money bag, and don't try to cheat!" Black Eyes bit the biscuit and said calmly to Will who was about to petrify beside him.
"Hmph -" Le Yuan flicked the sword in his hand, and the blood belonging to Lille was shaken to the ground by him. Le Yuan jumped down from the ring and put the knight sword in his hand on the ground. This sword was considered a C-level piece of equipment. However, after being strengthened many times by the original owner Lille, it can be said that it has become a piece of equipment. The existence of the best little thing.
"Mr. Le Yuan, the master said you can go to the side room to rest first. There will be a half-hour rest before the finals." Leva brought Esdeath's new order.
Le Yuan pulled up the knight's sword on the ground and glanced at Tazmi who had just entered the ring, then turned and walked to the side room.
