Chapter 141 The Successive Victors
Chapter 141 The Successive Victors
After watching the match between Hiruma and his sect leader Ye Liuyun, Lin Qiang knew clearly that with his abilities, he could not win the match with pure sword skills like his sect leader.
But he didn't want to give up the competition, so he decided to use some tricks.
Lin Qiang flicked his longsword into the air, and after it swirled a few times, it floated steadily in the air.
"go with!"
With a loud shout from Lin Qiang, the longsword flew straight toward Hiruma.
Compared to close-quarters swordsmanship, Lin Qiang is more skilled in the sword control technique within the Flowing Cloud Sword!
Ever since he read fantasy novels as a child, Lin Qiang has been fascinated by the sword control techniques featured in those novels, and he has devoted himself to mastering them ever since.
Annoyed by the flying swords, Hiruma wanted to attack Lin Qiang directly at close range, but just as he was about to get close to Lin Qiang while being wary of the flying swords' attacks, he realized that the attack was not working properly.
Suddenly, an even shorter sword flew out of the sword box on Lin Qiang's back.
Xu Xin, who was in the distance, also brightened up when he saw the two swords in Lin Qiang's hand.
"Oh! It really is the legendary Yin-Yang Sword. I thought I was seeing things."
Zhang Chulan asked curiously, "Grandpa, have you seen those two swords?"
"I've heard of it. Decades ago, there was a master swordsman in the Flowing Cloud Swords who was skilled with two swords. The swords that helped him build his great reputation were the Yin-Yang Sword, one long and one short. I was fortunate enough to see it once when I was young and on a mission."
While Xu Xin was explaining, the suddenly appearing short sword caught Hiruma completely off guard.
Fortunately, Hirumaru was a skilled swordsman and quickly adapted to the attacks of the two flying swords.
Having adapted to the rhythm of the attack, Hirumaru once again attempted to attack Lin Qiang himself, and Xu Xin shook his head upon seeing this.
"Why does Lin Qiang keep learning such strange things? He's a swordsman, not a weapon master. This Yin-Yang Sword is such a long weapon, it's not for flying."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan also thought of Jia Zhengliang from the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. Compared to the thirteen flying knives in Jia Zhengliang's hands, Lin Qiang's two flying swords were somewhat inferior to Jia Zhengliang's flying knives in terms of both speed and agility.
Just when he thought Lin Qiang was about to lose, he saw him shout, "I'm sorry, sir!"
Under Lin Qiang's control, the longsword flew back directly, and he jumped onto the flying sword, soaring straight up dozens of meters in the air.
Lin Qiang's sudden takeoff caused Hiruma's attack to miss its target.
Although Lin Qiang had flown away, his attack did not stop.
The other short sword continued to slash at Hiruma on the ground.
"Holy crap! Is it even possible to fight like that?"
"666, that's a bit of a cheat."
Lin Qiang's sudden action amused the viewers in the live stream.
Hiruzen, who was on the ground, did not have the means to attack at such a long distance, so he vented his anger by throwing several sword energies into the sky.
However, these sword energies could not hit Lin Qiang in the sky at all. The distance of several dozen meters gave him a lot of reaction time, enough for him to easily dodge the attack from Hirumaru.
Qin Le watched this scene with great interest. Lin Qiang's methods were not against the rules. As long as his moves were not too illegal, Qin Le would consider them to be the methods of a swordsman.
Sword control, which allows one to fly on a sword, is naturally one of the swordsman's skills.
Lin Qiang, now airborne, began to wear down Hiruzen on the ground. If Lin Qiang could hold out until Hiruzen's Qi was depleted, he would naturally win.
Because Qin Le set a limit on the puppet's Qi for a single duel, the ground-based Hiruzen's Qi was finally exhausted after fighting for a full half hour.
Due to Hirumaru's carelessness, the flying sword came to a steady stop in front of Hirumaru's heart.
[“Congratulations to Flowing Cloud Sword - Lin Qiang on your second victory. Please wait on the sidelines for a moment; the reward will be distributed after the match.”]
As the announcement was made, Lin Qiang finally flew down from the sky.
"I'm freezing! The wind in the sky is fucking strong!"
Lin Qiang, shrinking back slightly, cupped his hands in greeting to Hirumaru before jogging over to his sect leader, Ye Liuyun.
After two consecutive victories, the remaining players all found the trick to defeating Hiruma.
Aside from his formidable swordsmanship, Hirumaru's speed, strength, and internal energy content are not particularly high.
If you can surpass him in one aspect, you have a chance to win.
Of course, not every player can seize these opportunities. If your skill level is too low and you get easily defeated by Hirumaru, there's no point in talking about anything else.
After several more matches, the next winner emerged.
A Western-style broadsword fighter emerged victorious. This swordsman, whose arms were thicker than an average person's legs, appeared very strong, yet he was exceptionally agile.
Unable to dodge in time, Hirumaru's sword clashed with the burly man's broadsword. With just one strike, Hirumaru's strength was no match for the pressure from the broadsword, and he was knocked to the ground by the burly man, losing his fighting ability.
The next winner was a contestant from the Tang Clan. At the start of the match, he used his sword to pick up a shard and then disappeared from Hirumaru's sight.
Those familiar with the Tang Clan immediately recognized that he was using the Illusionary Body Miasma from the Tang Clan!
He originally didn't dare to use the Illusionary Miasma, since Qin Le had said before the competition that only swordsman-related skills were allowed.
But when he saw the burly Western swordsman take Hirumaru's swords several times with his own body, he knew that the little guy must have used some kind of hard qigong or protective miasma technique. Otherwise, how could his flesh and blood body withstand the slashes of swords!
Since the strongman was not eliminated despite using methods other than swordsmanship, the Tang Clan swordsmen guessed that special techniques were allowed during the competition, and as long as the methods used were compatible with the swordsman, they would not be considered cheating.
The Tang Clan swordsman, concealing his form, fully utilized the old traditions of the Tang Clan, slowly approaching Hiruma like an assassin.
He launched an attack from a corner where Hirumaru wasn't paying attention and defeated him with a single sword strike.
Just as everyone was intently anticipating who the next contestant would be, the name announced in the voice broadcast immediately silenced the chat.
"Nagikawayama - Watanabe Hayato, please come forward!"
Under Gao Lian's murderous gaze, Gao Erzhuang, far away at the base, successfully unearthed Watanabe Hayato's information.
According to the information, his name is Li Wu, and he is a registered supernatural being in China.
It seems the original information was fabricated; this person is clearly a spy from Biheshan who has infiltrated the country.
Gao Lian angrily cursed at the documents, and then immediately gave instructions to his assistant, Lao Zhang.
"Damn it! Old Zhang, how many spies does that son of a bitch have planted in our country? You need to arrange for people to surround Tianchi immediately, and capture them as soon as they leave!"
