Chapter 228
Hong Li stared at Qin Wushuang with a cold face . The weapon in his hand was a special Chinese Virtuosity halberd . The use of such a long weapon combined the uniqueness of the sword and the spear .
Usually, those who used such weapon would not have any true skills, but only extravagance .
And the other possibility was that they may be an elite warrior .
Qin Wushuang remembered that in the ancient times of his former world, the most famous and brave warrior named Lü Bu had used this halberd .
And Dian Wei, the other famous warrior who had used the short halberd with both hands .
Wang Xiangyu, the one-time tyrannical king used the Long Dragon Halberd of the sky .
Since ancient times, these people that had used the halberd were extremely skillful .
When Qin Wushuang saw Hong Li, he knew that he was not a figure that just was putting up a front . For sure, he must be a practical person since he had the courage to use this halberd .
"Qin Wushuang!"
Hong Li called out coldly and pointed his long halberd, exuding an overflowing momentum: "Your luck from the previous rounds will end here . Today, I will expose your act and your true identity!"
Hong Li’s style had always been domineering and treacherous .
The way he talked was a portion of his personality . Although Qin Wushuang knew about it, he only sneered and opposed him with equal measure: "I heard that you ranked seventh last time? I want to see whether your rank holds any truth . "
When the fight had reached this fourth round, they had all passed the incubation period . If you were a legendary giant bird, then it was time for you to soar upwards into the sky .
Compared to his earlier restraints, Qin Wushuang would no longer suppress his ability . He would oppose him with all his power .
When a fight had reached this level, it was unnecessary for Qin Wushuang to conceal himself . And this opponent was enough to let him unleash his true strength .
Since Hong Li was being arrogant, then he would use his best skills to use arrogance against arrogance . And to use craziness against an even crazier actions .
Qin Wushuang decided that he would use speed for this round of battle . He would beat this Hong Li off the stage in one breath and shatter all his arrogance .
Only this way, could he intimidate his opponent in the next round!
Qin Wushuang immediately made his move . He gave a long whistle and drew the Violet Sun Sword in his hand . He slashed horizontally and a vibrant sword light flew out, bringing with it a piercing red light .
While he used the temperament from this sword movement, Qin Wushuang did not hesitate as he increased his speed to attack Hong Li .
When he was dealing with this Hong Li, Qin Wushuang’s tactic was completely different than when he was fighting Xia Feihong . Although Xia Feihong had fast sword moves, he had many flaws .
Hong Li used the Virtuosic Herald . Usually, such weapon had unusual temperament and excelled in long-distance attack with its power . If he allowed him to do whatever he wanted, it would not be easy to win against him .
The best method to deal with a long weapon was close-combat .
A close combat would not allow him to unleash the power of this long weapon .
There was the saying of "An inch of length would have an inch of risk" . Of course, in a close combat, the power of the long weapon would be diminished .
Naturally, with this idea in mind, Qin Wushuang would not allow Hong Li distance himself away .
Two spots!
Hong Li’s advantage was his majestic attacks . Indeed, trying to evade in a smaller range was not his strength . Naturally, he was extremely terrified and furious when he saw Qin Wushuang came to attack him as if his life depended on it . On one hand, he waved the long herald to defend himself . On the other hand, he swore at Qin Wushuang for his cunning tricks inwardly .
He stepped backwards and tried to distance himself in order to unleash his dominance in his attacks .
Only, once Qin Wushuang used the Violet Sun Sword, he had used it as freely as spilling the ink . He waved the long sword as nimbly as a needle . Like colorful butterflies, he drew the sword from left and right and each attack moved to pierce Hong Li’s fatal points .
Besides, Qin Wushuang’s attack move had combined with the foot sequence from the . Each time he stepped in sequence to the technique and moved his body, it appeared as if he was circling around Hong Li rapidly . As a result, Hong Li had no chance to escape .
Even if Hong Li had tried to take a half step back, he would feel that Qin Wushuang’s sword had eyes that homed in on his fatal points .
Regardless of how he tried to evade and dodge, he could not withdraw himself completely .
He could only defend the attacks from all sides .
Naturally, he was extremely furious when fighting in this style . He could not unleash his power . On the contrary, the enemy had reduced him to such an embarrassing state . In the eyes of the bystanders, they wouldn’t even know the difference between him and Qin Wushuang .
Currently, Hong Li was feeling somewhat regretful . Before this fight, he had sparred with his fellow Brothers and talked about Qin Wushuang .
Wei Yi, the Head Senior Brother had pointed out exclusively that from the fight between Qin Wushuang and Xia Feihong, he was an elite warrior that excelled in rhythm . He was proficient at controlling the tempo and messing up the opponent’s tempo .
Hong Li had considered this problem . However, he had never expected that he would meet Qin Wushuang . And to his surprise, he didn’t know Qin Wushuang could control the tempo as soon as they started the fight .
In his perspective, once he had unleashed his herald attack moves, he would cover the entire martial arts stage . By that time, the enemy would not be able to control the tempo .
However, he had made the wrong calculations .
Due to Qin Wushuang’s rich combat experiences, his analysis before the fight had reached the point of perfection . As soon as he had entered the stage, he recognised Hong Li’s weapon and made judgments about his weakness and strengths . Next, he launched forceful attacks to control the tempo . This way, Hong Li was unable to unleash his moves .
Hong Li was furious to the point that he wanted to spit blood .
However, there was nothing he could do .
Qin Wushuang’s sword moves revealed more than a thousand variations . Plus with the combination of his strange movement, you could only control him with your superior stages and your Spiritual Qi . Or else, under such close combat, the result of this fight would be determined sooner .
Indeed, when Hong Li made it to the sixty sword attacks, he was one step slower . Thus, Qin Wushuang’s long sword had hit him and with a tearing sound, his shoulder was hit .
The shoulder was the body part that withstood all the power . When this part got hit, it was equivalent to his entire arm losing control . In this sword move, it was apparent that Qin Wushuang had held back his power . If he had used his full power in that slash, he could have cut off his entire arm .
With a face as pale as the ash, Hong Li showed a snarling expression . His lips trembled as if he was cursing in a low voice . His left hand dragged the herald, but he had no strength to attack again .
With his right hand injured, he would be like an idiot mumbling in his dream if he wanted to use one hand to win against the enemy with the herald .
"You let me win . " Qin Wushuang put back the Violet Sun Sword to the back of his shoulder . He took a few steps back and looked at Hong Li with his hands crossed his chest .
Apparently, Hong Li was not convinced as he said angrily: "Qin Wushuang, you won because of a fluke . You got the upper hand . If it was a fair fight, I would not lose to you!"
"Both of us had gone up the stage with four limbs, it was a fair fight . " Qin Wushuang said lightly, "Hong, you should know that if I had used all my power in that move, then I am afraid you will only be able to use one hand for that herald for the rest of your life . "
The muscle on Hong Li’s face trembled . While furious, he had to admit that Qin Wushuang had spoken the truth . If he had used his full power in that sword slash, he would have lost his entire arm .
Hong Li spat on the ground: "Qin Wushuang, don’t give me your pity . I won’t take it . "
He remembered how his teacher had praised Qin Wushuang for "Using his morality to convince people" . Inwardly, he thought that your little trick might be good to trick an idiot like Xia Feihong . It would be impossible if you wanted me to feel impressed .
Qin Wushuang shook his head helplessly and did not speak a word .
However, that Butler officiating the match said: "Hong Li, do you want to continue to fight or admit defeat, state your intention clearly . "
With a pair of red eyes, Hong Li stared at that Butler . For the moment, he could not show his tyrannical actions and swore in a low voice: "This time, you are lucky . Next year, don’t let me meet you on this stage!"
When facing such an opponent that could not admit that they had lost, Qin Wushuang could only smile bitterly .
On the other hand, Zhou Bufan who was watching from afar was extremely disappointed by Hong Li’s performance . If all his disciples had such a personality, then it was not strange that they were under the imperceptible influence of Wei Yi .
He turned to the side and sighed: "Second, indeed, this Qin Wushuang is a person much like his name . He is invincible . For such a young man, it is hard to imagine that he came from a little Subordinate Country . The Bai Yue country is truly fortunate to have someone like him . "
Tan Zhongchi also nodded: "I also found it hard to believe . How did the Bai Yue suddenly encounter such a fortuitous event? Historically, we rarely had any Core disciples from the Bai Yue . And this time, such a genius has appeared . "
The remaining three Palace Masters were all silent . By this point, they had no choice but to admit the veracity of Qin Wushuang’s talent . If they didn’t, they would be lying to themselves .
Tian Zhixing, the Fifth Palace Master complained again: "Second, you have all the good hands here . For the next, you cannot fight with us when someone as talented as him appears . "
With an extremely good humour, Tan Zhongchi smiled: "Ok . I promise to not participate if something like this is to appear again . You guys can go fight amongst yourselves . "
Although he seemed to be generous, he knew that most likely, someone like Qin Wushuang would not appear even in the next thirty years . Regarding next time, who knew when would it happen .
Qin Wushuang was not the first one that had ended the competition . The first fight that ended came from Wei Yi and Jian Rui . Jian Rui had followed his teacher’s suggestion and admitted defeat after resisting a few moves . He gave Wei Yi an easy victory .
This way, between the line of the Head Palace Master and the Second Palace Master, they all had one win and one loss . Neither of them had lost their reputation or suffered an overall loss .
Zhou Fu had also won easily . When her opponent faced her, the difference was no less than Jian Rui’s fight against Wei Yi . He also resisted a little and admitted defeat . Along the way, he did not forget to confess his feelings of how he had always admired Zhou Fu . He only hoped to ask Zhou Fu for some suggestions…
The fight between Lü Teng and Deng Bohu was also smart . After probing a few rounds, he knew that he could not win . Thus, he did not rush to attack and admitted defeat after a few moves .
Per Lü Teng’s personality, he did not want to resign . However, he had to make this decision when he thought about his teacher’s plan .
This way, from the four people at the Stargaze Palace, two of them advanced, and two did not make it to the top eight .
Of course, getting disqualified from the top eight was not the end of the world . At least, they had a chance to fight for the ninth and the tenth seat!
