Chapter 2087: Zhao Hai Goes On Stage
Chapter 2087 Zhao Hai Goes On Stage
Five rounds pa.s.sed without any disciples from the Tyrant Blade Sect partic.i.p.ating. Zhao Hai wasnt worried. He led Li Fei and the others to the other stages to look at the disciples of the other Great Sects.
The disparity between Great Sects and smaller sects could be recognized. And it wasnt a tiny degree. Great Sects held strong advantages in terms of techniques, environment, and other aspects. As long as a disciple of a Great Sect goes on stage, there is almost no chance for them to lose.
When the next round was announced, Zhao Hai and the others became excited. Someone from the Tyrant Blade Sect was finally called. This time, the disciple who would fight was called Zhou Hong. His opponent was a disciple of a smaller sect. Naturally, Zhao Hai and the others would support Zhou Hong. They quickly went to the eighth stage to watch the fight.
Upon arriving at stage number 8, Zhou Hong jumped on the arena and gave a salute to the elder official. His opponent has yet to arrive.
Zhou Hong didnt need to wait for a long time, not long after he arrived, another person jumped on the stage. This person was wearing black clothing and had an average stature. He had short hair and a calm face. Whats special about him was his weapon, which was a dual tonfa.
Dual tonfas were quite unpopular weapons. The offensive strength of the weapon wasnt very strong, but its defense made up for the deficiency. Most importantly, one could use fist techniques with it.
Zhou Hongs opponent was from a sect called the G.o.d Arm Sect. It was a sect known for its fist techniques. They dont have a signature weapon because of their specialty. Because of this, their disciples were free to choose their weapons. There were disciples who used tonfas, hammers, and even gloves.
When the G.o.d Arm Sect disciple entered the stage, Zhao Hais eyes couldnt help but narrow. The person had a very calm temperament. And when his foot stepped on the ground, one could see that his movement technique was very good. This person wouldnt be easy to deal with.
Zhao Hai didnt say anything to Zhou Hong. He wanted to see how Zhou Hong would deal with his opponent. After both sides exchanged their greetings, Zhou Hong pulled his goose plume blade out while his opponent raised his fists.
Zhao Hai had some understanding regarding Zhou Hongs skills. Zhou Hong specializes in water-attribute blade techniques. His blade was light and flowing. It can be said that his blade style held some fame in the Outer Sect.
Both sides looked at the other for several minutes and found that the other party was patient and didnt show any flaws. Then as if in agreement, the two attacked at roughly the same time. The goose plume blade in Zhou Hongs hand was like a goose flying over the sky without a trace. His whole body seemed to flow like water as he sent repeated attacks towards his enemy.
Zhou Hongs enemy was also quite good. He was able to use his tonfas to their full potential by blocking all attacks. One by one, Zhou Hongs attacks were stopped. What surprised Zhao Hai was the fact that Zhou Hongs opponent wasnt moving at their full strength. They looked very relaxed.
Naturally, Zhou Hong wasnt fighting at his full strength either. Both sides were merely probing the other party. Zhao Hai could see that Zhou Hong was putting at most 60% of his strength on his attacks. The same amount was used by the enemy.
Zhao Hais brows couldnt help but wrinkle. Seeing Zhao Hais reaction, Li Fei asked, Team Leader, what happened. Zhou Hong is doing very well. Did you see something?
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, I didnt see anything. The movements of Zhou Hongs opponent are very hard to deal with. It seems like G.o.d Arm Sects cultivation methods are very unique. If Zhou Hong wants to win, then he would need to show his real skills. Otherwise, he would suffer.
Hearing Zhao Hai, Li Fei stared, then he frowned. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, Team Leader is correct. Zhou Hongs opponent is a genius from the G.o.d Arm Sect. The sect is known for their fist techniques. However, the people in their sect dont only use their fists. They also use weapon techniques, among them are their Tonfa Techniques and Hammer Techniques. This made the sect hard to face. Now that Zhou Hong is facing them, he is bound to suffer.
Zhao Hai nodded and no longer said anything. To be honest, he heard of the G.o.d Arm Sect before. But he has no real understanding of the sect. This explains why he was surprised by their capability.
While the two were speaking, the contestants on the stage had already exchanged a few more rounds of moves. By this point, they were no longer using probing attacks, but were already fighting with their true strength. Blue light appeared one time and then a shadow fluttered in another, the fight was very lively.
Zhao Hai calmly observed the battle on the stage. The forms of combat exhibited by the combatants showed two extremes. Zhou Hongs technique was swift, continuous, and violent. It embodied the flow and rage of the rivers and streams.
On the other hand, the tonfa of Zhou Hongs opponent exhibited the rigidity of his technique. He was able to keep off Zhou Hongs attacks while maintaining his stability.
Li Fei couldnt help but frown. He didnt expect Zhou Hongs opponent to be difficult to deal with. The two had now exchanged more than a hundred moves. Although Zhou Hong held the upper hand, this doesnt fully describe the state of the battle. The other party had a stable defense. It would take Zhou Hong a bit of effort to break through.
Li Fei turned to Zhao Hai and said, Team Leader, will Zhou Hong be fine? His opponents defense is very good. Zhou Hong might fail to get through them.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, Its too early to say. Zhou Hong and his opponent are still not giving it their all. The other party cant find any openings in Zhou Hongs attacks while Zhou Hong cant find any openings in his opponents defense. The two can only drag this on for a while. They might have to exchange more moves before one of them shows any flaws. At this point in time, its impossible to decide whos going to win.
Li Fei nodded, but he continued to look at the stage with worry. The battle continued on. Before long, 200 moves were exchanged, then it became 300. The two combatants looked tired. The attacking side was beginning to slow down. However, the defending party didnt take the opportunity to attack, this was because he was also tired from holding his defense. He has no spare energy to attack.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai couldnt help but smile. Then he said, Zhou Hong won. His opponent cant attack. In about 50 moves, the battle will end.
Sure enough, just like Zhao Hai said, the two exchanged 55 more moves before Zhou Hong finally broke through the defense of his opponent. It didnt take long after that before the victor was announced.
Zhou Hong was sweating when he walked down the stage. Zhao Hai and the others welcomed him with applause. Zhou Hongs win wasnt easy, but this doesnt mean that he was weak. In fact, Zhou Hong was already good for a Clone Stage cultivator. His opponent was just strong and was a counter to Zhou Hongs style. It can be said that the battle highlighted the best of the two combatants.
Zhao Hai handed Zhou Hong a jade bottle as he smiled and said, Drink this and return to rest. Im afraid the battles tomorrow wont be easier. Zhou Hong didnt say anything and just nodded. He received the jade bottle and drank its contents before heading back to rest.
In the next rounds, two more people from the Tyrant Blade Sect partic.i.p.ated. One had a good opponent, a cultivator from the medium-grade sect. The other faced a disciple of a Great Sect. The battle was a struggle but in the end the two managed to win.
It wasnt until the 11th draw that Li Fei finally got up on the stage. Coincidentally, his opponent turns out to be from the b.u.t.terfly Sect. As soon as he heard that his opponent is from the b.u.t.terfly Sect, Li Fei became excited. Hu Jilong annoyed them several times. Now that he was faced with a disciple of the b.u.t.terfly Sect, Li Fei was prepared to teach them a lesson.
Looking at Li Feis appearance, Zhao Hai held him back. Li Fei couldnt help but be confused. Zhao Hai looked at Li Fei and said, Li Fei, remember, you can win this battle, but you absolutely cannot kill them. You also shouldnt insult them too much. Even if our two sects have a deep ent.i.ty, its not to the point where we can slap each other in public. If we treat the b.u.t.terfly Sect too badly, it wouldnt do good for the Tyrant Blade Sect. There are always enemies around us, its definitely not good if we get into more trouble. Do you understand?
Upon hearing Zhao hai, Li Fei couldnt help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, Team Leader, should we just let them off?
Zhao Hai sneered, Let them off? Theyre dreaming. But we cant make the b.u.t.terfly Sect vigilant right now. Lets maintain a certain limit, make them think that we dont want conflict with them. If we let them hold a grudge against us, then it would be more difficult to deal with them in the future. Do you understand?
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Li Feis eyes shone, then he smiled and said, Team Leader, youre really cruel. But I like that. Dont worry, I know what to do. Zhao Hai patted his shoulder and pushed him towards the stage.
The b.u.t.terfly Sect disciple has already stepped foot on the stage. He saw Zhao Hai stopping Li Fei and saying something while pointing at the stage from time to time. The b.u.t.terfly Sect disciple couldnt help but raise his brows. He was aware of the conflict between Hu Jilong and Zhao Hai. He thought that Zhao Hai was telling Li Fei to clean him up.
Li Fei was also famous in the Tyrant Blade Sect. His blade skills were good among Clone Stage cultivators. If Zhao Hai wasnt included, he was one of the contestants that one needed to be on guard against.
In the arena, Li Fei cupped his fist towards the b.u.t.terfly Sect disciple. Then he smiled faintly and said, Weve finally met. I cant wait.
The b.u.t.terfly Sect disciple coldly snorted and said, I cant wait either. After he said that, he took his b.u.t.terfly knife out and played with it. At the same time, Li Fei retrieved his own blade and settled his eyes onto his enemy.
The disciple of the b.u.t.terfly Sect looked at Li Fei, but his hand didnt stop playing with his b.u.t.terfly knife. Both sides seem to be waiting for something. Then after some time, Li Fei suddenly shouted, Kill! After he said that, he waved his blade and swung it over.
Although the b.u.t.terfly Sect disciple has all of his attention on Li Feis body, he didnt expect Li Fei to suddenly attack without even probing. He was unprepared. He quickly retreated while launching his b.u.t.terfly knife to protect himself.
However, Li Feis attack wasnt slow. His blade was very tight, as though he wasnt facing an opponent on the stage but instead his fathers killer. Not to mention the b.u.t.terfly Blade Sect disciple, Li Feis attack caused the onlookers to be alert. They wondered if this would be the compet.i.tions first death.
The b.u.t.terfly Sect disciple was frightened by Li Feis domineering attack. His defense became chaotic and full of holes. Li Feis blade used this vulnerability to strike. Seeing his situation, the b.u.t.terfly Sect disciple knew that he couldnt block. He couldnt help but think, Im finished! Then he closed his eyes preparing to die.
But after some time, there was no pain. Instead, he heard the referee announce, Tyrant Blade Sects Li Fei wins. The b.u.t.terfly Sect disciple opened his eyes and saw that Li Fei has withdrawn his blade. He was smiling as he cupped his fist towards him.
The b.u.t.terfly Sect disciple couldnt help but relax. Then he cupped his fist and said, Thank you for showing mercy.
Li Fei smiled faintly, Youre too polite. Our Sects dont share any enmity. If I really continued, then wouldnt that be unreasonable? Junior Brother, thanks for letting me win.
The b.u.t.terfly Sect disciple smiled and said, Senior Brother is just too strong. This Junior Brother admits defeat. After he said that, he jumped down the stage and left.
Li Fei also jumped down from the stage and arrived by Zhao Hai before saying, Team Leader, did I do great?
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, Good. Very good. Hahaha. Now Im wondering if I would meet someone from the b.u.t.terfly Sect.
Li Fei smiled and said, Rest a.s.sured, youll meet them sooner or later. At this moment, the next draw was announced. This time, Zhao Hai was drawn along with an old enemy, a disciple from the Sword Hegemon Sect.
Hearing the announcement, Zhao Hai couldnt help but stare, then his expression lit up as he said, Sword Hegemon Sect, its actually the Sword Hegemon Sect. Good, lets face them. After saying that, Zhao Hai moved and jumped into the stage.
The moment people heard the announcement, they immediately encircled the stage Zhao Hai was on. Three years ago, Zhao Hai gained fame from his battle against Lu Sheng. Although Lu Shen had just entered the Teleportation Stage, he was still a Teleportation Stage Expert. Moreover, the matter of Zhao Hai eradicating the Osmanthus Crystal Realm made him very famous as someone who wouldnt hesitate to kill. Hearing that Zhao Hai was going to fight, a large crowd was immediately formed. They wanted to see the outcome of the fight.
