Chapter 139 Ye Liuyun Takes the Stage
Chapter 139 Ye Liuyun Takes the Stage
Just when all the viewers in the live stream thought a fierce battle was about to begin, Wang Dana was still waving at the void when Hiruma rushed towards him. Before he could even react, Hiruma was already in front of him.
He never expected Hirumaru to be so uncivilized! He started attacking without even giving an opening remark!
Wang Dana frantically drew his broadsword and faced off against the menacing Hirumaru.
Ding!
A sound like metal clashing against metal rang out from the arena, and Wang Dana's long sword was knocked out of his hand by Hirumaru.
In Wang Dana's horrified gaze, he saw Hirumaru's long sword getting closer and closer to him, finally stopping right in front of him.
The sword energy emanating from the blade left a thin, bloody gash on his face.
"Wang Dana has failed. Please leave the stage."
Hearing the voice broadcast from the sky, Wang Dana finally snapped out of his panic, quickly picked up the long knife that had fallen to the ground, and scrambled away.
……
"What a fast sword!"
"Dude! Didn't you lose a little too fast?"
"I blinked, how did the game end?"
……
The audience was surprised that the match ended so quickly!
Even Qin Le himself didn't expect it.
"Looks like I made the right choice with the protective mechanisms I added to Hiruma, otherwise I would have been killed right at the start..."
Considering that many Chinese would participate in the sword-testing tournament, Qin Le created a protective mechanism for Hirumaru's safety after completing the doll body.
When the mechanism is activated, Hirumaru's attacks will automatically stop before posing a life-threatening danger to the enemy.
Otherwise, the concept of showing mercy wouldn't even exist in Hirumaru's mind.
Qin Le, who was behind the scenes, shook his head and continued to call out the name of the next contestant.
……
The game continued, and Ishikawa Kenji, watching from the sidelines, recalled in disbelief everything that had just happened.
At that moment, he still thought that Hirumaru was being controlled by someone else. He didn't expect that Hirumaru would hold back at the last moment!
Others might not know about the demon sword Hiruma, but how could he, a member of the Fish and Dragon Society, not know?
Every person who picks up Hirumaru is influenced by the remnant soul within the demon sword and becomes a murderous maniac!
Why would you hold back just before you're about to kill the enemy?
The remaining contestants, whose turn had not yet come, also carefully reviewed the battle that had just taken place.
Ye Liuyun of the Flowing Cloud Sword looked at Hiruma's figure with a solemn expression. Before coming, he had absolute confidence in his strength, but after watching the first match, he realized that it would not be easy to defeat him head-on with just swordsmanship.
The other sword masters also sensed from Hirumaru's sword strike that he was not easy to deal with. Only Feng Baobao, the carefree one, was still squatting on the ground, playing with her sword on the ice.
As the match continued, eight players had fallen to Hiruma's hands.
Qin Le, who was behind the scenes, also seemed to have settled in Bengbu.
Qin Le has prepared seven rewards for the competition. Will he not be able to win a single game?
To ensure the smooth running of the competition, Qin Le deliberately weakened Hiruzen's strength.
Although Hirumaru's swordsmanship is very strong, Qin Le deliberately lowered the physical strength of the controllable puppet, making it only slightly better than a top athlete, and far inferior to an alien.
Qin Le began to think that even if the contestants only used swordsmanship, their basic physical strength was unlimited. With their speed and strength advantage, the advantage should be "in my hands," right?
It seems like Hirumaru is in a somewhat one-sided situation now.
Even the viewers in the live stream were getting a little impatient.
After another contestant's defeat was announced, Qin Le's eyes lit up when he saw the name of the next contestant!
Finally, a heavyweight has arrived!
"Ye Liuyun, the Flowing Cloud Sword contestant, please step forward!"
Ye Liuyun was Qin Le's favorite among all the contestants. In terms of both age and status, he was the most outstanding among all the contestants. If he lost, Qin Le would really have to live in Bengbu.
Ye Liuyun caused a sensation in the live broadcast room as soon as he entered. The main reason was that his flying posture on the sword was too eye-catching.
Even Hirumaru was drawn to his aura, his eyes fixed intently on Ye Liuyun not far away.
As the match began, Hirumaru, unusually, did not rush forward immediately. Instead, he held his sword and stared at Ye Liuyun, seemingly observing his weaknesses.
"Young friend, you've already had so many matches, wouldn't you like to take a break?"
Ye Liuyun did not make a move immediately, but instead inquired about Hirumaru's health.
Hirumaru looks like a young man in his early twenties. Ye Liuyun, who considers himself an elder, does not want to bully the younger man, and he greatly admires Hirumaru's performance.
His methods were swift, his observations were keen, and his swordsmanship was superb, far beyond what one would expect from a twenty-year-old. Moreover, he was measured in his attacks and always knew when to stop.
Ye Liuyun couldn't understand how Hirumaru could always stop at such extreme points and pull back the sword he was about to strike his opponent!
Ye Liuyun admitted that he could not reach the level of control over such attacks.
The only shortcoming is that his physical strength is a bit lacking, and his speed and power in swinging the sword are not enough.
Unfortunately, Hirumaru's wisdom was insufficient to respond to Ye Liuyun's words, and he would automatically ignore anything other than swords.
Seeing that Hirumaru was not responding to him at all, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
This young man has no respect for his elders; he doesn't even know how to say a word.
Hirumaru remained silent, only drawing his sword repeatedly.
Ye Liuyun immediately engaged Hirumaru in battle, and with his speed advantage, he blocked all of Hirumaru's attacks.
The intense battle between the two kept the audience on the edge of their seats. After fighting for so long, they finally had a decent fight, unlike the previous ones where the outcome was decided in just a few moves.
The fierce battle finally brought a smile to Hiruma's face. He was very much looking forward to the opportunity Qin Le promised him to duel with all the swordsmen in the world.
However, the next few matches were very disappointing for him. His opponents were too weak and could not ignite his fighting spirit at all.
And now, finally, a worthy opponent has arrived!
Seeing Hirumaru's eyes filled with fighting spirit, Ye Liuyun, a middle-aged man, also felt a long-lost surge of passion.
"Kid, let me see what you're made of!"
After saying that, Ye Liuyun focused all his attention on Hirumaru in front of him. To his surprise, Hirumaru had only used pure sword skills so far, with only the most basic slashes of a swordsman, without using any unique sword moves with added Qi.
This is a pure swordsman!
As the sect leader of Liuyun Sword Sect, he would also respond with his own sword skills. Ye Liuyun would use his sword skills to defeat the young swordsman in front of him.
