Chapter 213 The Sharpness of the Axe
Chapter 213 The Sharpness of the Axe
Hundreds of spectators in the competition space held their breath as they watched Harmon and Jin Huguo, who were fighting frantically with swords in hand, on the light screen projection.
The sword is known as the courage of all weapons.
In a sense, this is because its close combat is the most crazy and brutal, far less elegant and graceful than a spear or a sword.
Especially at this moment, both warring parties are fifth-level masters. They are like gods of war, colliding and fighting, truly combining violence and art, which makes people's blood boil.
"Jin Huguo is at a disadvantage."
"Senior Brother Jin is in trouble." The students of Kunlun Wuda University were extremely nervous and were praying secretly.
Even though Li Yuan has shown fifth-stage strength and is nearly invincible on the battlefield of the Seventh Star Realm, subconsciously, most Kunlun Wuda students still believe that Jin Huguo is stronger and is Kunlun Wuda's greatest hope in this virtual battle.
"That Harmon is so strong, the number one genius in the United States?"
"Jin Huguo, hold on." Millions of spectators from Xia Country were also staring intently, hoping for a miracle to happen.
In a sense, this is a battle of honor.
In this global competition, each contestant represents not only himself or herself, but also his or her school and country.
Everyone hopes that their country's martial arts genius can be invincible on the battlefield.
"Harmon is so powerful, but he hasn't been able to kill this Xia countryman for so long?"
"Is this guy called Jin Huguo so strong?" A large number of spectators from the United States and even Europe were paying close attention.
Harmon is very famous in the United States and Europe, and many students admire him very much.
The fact that Jin Huguo could fight with Harmon for so long was beyond the expectations of many of them.
suddenly.
"Harmon is going to win." A spectator from the United States shouted with his eyes brightened.
"Senior Brother Jin is in danger."
"Jin Huguo, be careful!" The millions of spectators from Xia Country exclaimed, becoming extremely nervous.
……
The battlefield of the first star realm is above the vast mountains.
"Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!" Harmon burst out with a series of terrifying sword techniques. He has completely entered the state of unity between man and nature. Each sword strike seemed to be assisted by God. The power was so great that it completely suppressed Jin Huguo.
When Jin Huguo's arm felt numb and blood began to flow out from the base of his palm, he was about to be unable to resist.
"Let's die together!" Jin Huguo suddenly shouted angrily, boom! He rushed forward, and instantly met with a knife bursting out on his head, and the sword in his hand was about to stab straight.
It seems like they are fighting to the death.
"You die." Harmon's face was ferocious. He was taller, and his sword was bigger and heavier, but he did not avoid the opponent at all.
The knife is as fast as lightning.
"Puchi~" Jin Huguo barely dodged the front, and then a ray of knife light chopped fiercely, instantly chopping off his shoulder, one arm flew away, and blood splattered.
But, at the moment his arm was chopped off.
Whoosh~ The sword in Jin Huguo's hand flew out like lightning and flew out like a hidden weapon.
At such a close distance!! Harmon had no way to avoid it.
"Puff~" The terrible big knife pierced directly into Harmon's abdomen along the gap in the armor, and countless blood splashed.
"Peng~"
Another flash of knife light flashed across like lightning, and Jin Huguo's body was instantly torn apart and died.
"call!"
Harmon took a deep breath and looked down at his wound. The big knife had pierced his internal organs fiercely. A large amount of blood was gushing out. He felt that his life force was quickly fading away.
Then he looked at Jin Huguo's body which had been torn into pieces.
"Jin." Harmon looked solemn and murmured to himself, "I underestimated you."
"Your strength has indeed become terrifying."
"If we fight again later, I will definitely not be careless at all." Harmon said to himself.
The Star Realm battlefield is a complete simulation of reality.
Therefore, once injured, there is no way to recover quickly.
Especially for an injury like Harmon's, if it continues, he will definitely die.
Not to mention that his physical fitness is only level 15, even if he is a source warrior, he will die if he does not get treatment.
Only tens of seconds later.
A gigantic level 16 celestial creature flew by and roared towards Harmon.
Even if Harmon was seriously injured, he should have no problem evading the attack with his remaining strength.
However, Harmon allowed himself to be assaulted by this huge Star Realm creature and died instantly.
When being attacked by astral creatures, the basic points and astral points are all retained and the total score remains unchanged.
This is the end.
In the First Star Realm battlefield, Harmon's total score is still first, and he is far ahead of the second place.
Jin Huguo's total score had dropped to sixth, but there was less than an hour left before the end of the melee, and with his remaining points, it would not be difficult for him to eventually rank in the top 100.
……
This battle deeply shocked millions of spectators. No one expected the fight between the two sides to be so brutal.
Jin Huguo was killed first.
Harmon was also severely injured by Jin Huguo's dying counterattack, and eventually allowed himself to be killed by the star creatures.
In a sense, both sides died together.
"Harmon, he almost lost to that Xia countryman."
"This Xia guy was inconspicuous before, but he possesses such terrifying strength. Xia also has Yin Man, Tan Taifeng, Li Yuan, Zhu Tong... Oh my God! Can Harmon break out of their encirclement and take first place?" The spectators from the United States and Europe all felt a little nervous.
Jin Huguo is so powerful, what about the other masters of Xia Kingdom?
"It's such a pity for Jin Huguo. He was just one step away from being able to kill Harmon."
"It's a pity." Most of the spectators from Xia Country felt regretful, but the vast majority of them were still very rational.
Before the two sides faced off, most people felt that Harmon should be stronger.
The fact that Jin Huguo could fight with the opponent to this extent was beyond most people's expectations.
……
In a higher-level viewing space.
"Jin Huguo lost." Li Yang sighed.
"We can't help it. In the previous prediction, Harmon was expected to win first place." Dean Xu said calmly, "It's rare that Jin Huguo was able to seriously injure Harmon and force him to withdraw from the competition."
"Ah."
Li Yang nodded and continued to look at the light screen: "Let's just rely on Li Yuan. There is a high probability that he and Hoffman will have a fight."
"I guess so. The system will guide them secretly." Dean Xu said, "When these fifth-level masters reach the final stage of the melee competition, most of them will seek to fight each other."
The two have served as deans for decades and are very familiar with some of the underlying rules of virtual warfare.
What is the purpose of the competition? First, to select the top players fairly and impartially, which is why the fifth-dan players are not directly sent to the finals.
This is the rule set by Dongfang Ji.
Whenever huge rewards are involved, there is a chance of shady dealings as long as there is a guarantee of success.
The purpose of an open competition is to avoid unfairness as much as possible.
Just like the college entrance examination, unless one is specially granted permission at the level of Star Lord, everyone must pass the college entrance examination to enter martial arts universities at all levels.
The second is to hone the skills and let many top talents compete against each other.
The battle between geniuses is not only exciting for them, but also for countless ordinary spectators.
Therefore, it is often in the melee stage.
Once there are multiple fifth-stage masters in a star realm battlefield, most of the time there will be a fifth-stage battle.
This highly anticipated duel is completely different from a private competition in that it provides a spiritual refresher for the contestants.
……
As time passed, the battlefield area began to shrink further.
The diameter gradually shrank from 50 kilometers to 30 kilometers. Many of the remaining contestants collided with each other during the movement, starting another round of large-scale fighting.
……
When the time came to 11:25 pm, at the viewing platform affiliated with Star University.
Swish! A figure in a fiery red robe appeared out of nowhere.
"Sister Yueyue."
A clear voice rang out from the side. It was Wu Dongdong who couldn't help but say, "You are so unlucky. You just ran into Yin Man. Otherwise, you would have a chance to make it into the top 100."
The figure in the fiery red robe was Lin Lanyue. She and Wu Dongdong also participated in the competition.
Before the game, Lin Lanyue even communicated with Li Yuan twice.
"Not much of a difference." Lin Lanyue smiled faintly: "With my skills that have just entered the fourth high level, even if I'm lucky, I can only barely make it into the top 100 of the war... In the knockout round, I'm bound to be eliminated."
"Yeah." Wu Dongdong nodded slightly.
In the scrimmage competition, luck is a factor... but in the knockout round, only 990 places in the finals are selected from 10 people, and everyone has to go through at least eight rounds of battles, so there is almost no luck factor.
"How are the others?" Lin Lanyue asked with a smile.
"I know who you want to see." Wu Dongdong said with a smile: "Your brother was eliminated much faster than me. As for Li Yuan... his strength is even more terrifying than during the Ten Schools Freshman Tournament. He is already a fifth-level master. I'm afraid he is not weaker than Tan Taifeng."
"Has the fifth stage of unity between heaven and man been achieved?" Lin Lanyue's eyes lit up.
On the battlefield, she could only see Li Yuan's score soaring on the leaderboard, but she could not see the specific battle process.
She had communicated with Li Yuan many times before, but she was not aware that Li Yuan had already achieved unity of man and nature.
"Wow, sister, look quickly." Wu Dongdong suddenly pointed at a huge light curtain that was rapidly enlarging above the competition space: "Tan Taifeng, he ran into Nevsky from Russia."
"The two are going to fight." Wu Dongdong was quite excited: "I wonder if Tan Taifeng can win."
"Tan Tai Feng? Nevsky?" Lin Lanyue couldn't help but look up.
……
At this moment, it wasn't just Wu Dongdong and Lin Lanyue.
In the entire competition space, almost all spectators couldn't help but look at the rapidly enlarging light curtain.
And two masters who have already started a fierce confrontation.
Tan Tai Feng, the king of the preliminaries, was a peerless genius in the freshman year of Xia State. Even with the rise of Li Yuan, he still could not completely shake his position. Most people still believed that Tan Tai Feng was more powerful.
After all, the title of king of the preliminaries is too big.
Moreover, Tan Tai Feng once defeated Li Yuan.
His opponent, Nevsky, is the "strongest master" who emerged from Russia in this competition. He is also extremely powerful and is recognized as the number one genius in Russia. He is also a fifth-level master.
This battle is a five-stage battle.
The two of them are respectively ranked first and second in points in the Tenth Star Realm Battlefield.
Such a duel, in terms of attention and expectations, is even higher than the battle between Harmon and Jin Huguo.
...On the battlefield of the tenth star realm, on an ice field.
"Dan Tai Feng." Nevsky held a battle axe in his hand and swung it, chopping Tan Tai Feng back violently.
His hair was messy, he was over two meters tall, and he was sturdy and strong. He was obviously a young man in his early twenties, but he looked like he was in his thirties or forties.
"Nevsky, give me some face." Tan Taifeng shouted angrily, "There must be millions of people outside watching us fight."
boom! boom! boom!
The two sides fought each other in lightning speed again and again, and Tan Taifeng used his sword and shield to block Nevsky's axe attacks time and time again.
The axe is too heavy.
Chopping is more powerful than using a knife!
Block, comparable to a shield.
The weakness of the axe is its slowness, but at this moment the axe in Nevsky's hand is faster than Tan Tai Feng's knife, so he naturally completely suppresses Tan Tai Feng.
"It doesn't matter if there are a million or ten million people watching the game." Nevsky said with a smile, "If you can beat me, you will naturally shine brightly."
"Use all your strength to defeat me."
"Otherwise, you will lose." Nevsky was extremely calm.
"Damn it!"
"Let's fight." There was a hint of madness in Tan Tai Feng's eyes. He liked to show off in front of others, but there was also a hint of madness in his bones.
boom!
Tan Tai Feng suddenly exploded and threw away his shield. His body seemed to be twisted and he surged at an odd speed, rushing straight towards Nevsky.
Wow! Wow! The sword flashed like a tide, as fast as lightning.
"Keng!"
"Clang!" "Clang!" A trace of solemnity flashed across Nevsky's face, and he quickly swung his battle axe like a huge shield to block.
But Tan Tai Feng burst out with all his strength, completely focused on the knife, and went completely crazy.
"Faster! Faster! Faster!" Tan Tai Feng murmured, exerting all his strength to the extreme.
He swung the sword in his hand fiercely.
One knife is faster than the other.
The terrifying rays of sword light almost drowned Nevsky and almost reversed the situation.
At this moment, Tan Tai Feng felt that his energy and spirit had reached a new peak.
"Kill!" Nevsky shouted angrily, and finally caught a flaw in the connection of Tan Tai Feng's swordsmanship. While blocking the sword with the axe in his hand, he suddenly flipped the axe.
Chop straight down suddenly!
Wow!
The axe exploded suddenly, and it made Nevsky's momentum surge. Like a god of war who could split mountains and rivers, he roared and chopped Tan Tai Feng flying backwards.
Boom! Immediately afterwards, Nevsky exerted his strength again, flashed and followed, and chopped down again with another axe.
"Keng!"
Tan Tai Feng raised his knife and tried to block the attack, but he flew backwards again.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" Nine consecutive axes, one terrifying collision after another.
Tan Tai Feng threw away his shield and finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Accompanied by the last terrifying axe light that chopped down.
"Fifth stage intermediate level, it's intermediate level!!" Tan Tai Feng stared at the axe that was coming down at him angrily, roaring in his heart.
puff~
The axe flashed!
Tan Tai Feng died in battle, his blood dyed the ice field red, and the entire ice field returned to peace.
“That’s really impressive.”
"I wanted to explode in the finals when I met Yin Man or Harmon, but I didn't expect that a freshman would force me to use the 'Thousand Axe Slashes' that I just figured out not long ago. It turns out that I can't underestimate anyone." The burly man Nevsky said secretly.
After calming down, Nevsky continued along the ice field.
……
Nevsky, if he didn't explode, it would be fine. But once he exploded, he revealed his terrifying strength, which made countless spectators tremble.
"Did Tan Tai Feng lose?"
"Nevsky is too strong."
"Why do I feel that Nevsky is stronger than Yin Man, Li Yuan, Harmon and others?" There were bursts of discussions in the competition space.
Compared to the fierce battle between Harmon and Jin Huguo.
In the battle between Tan Tai Feng and Nevsky, although Tan Tai Feng also showed amazing strength, his defeat was no surprise. He lost to Nevsky's repeated frontal attacks.
……
The seventh star realm battlefield.
"Senior Brother Jin lost before, and now has Tan Taifeng also lost?" Li Yuan glanced at the smart ring watch, although he could not see the specific situation of the duel.
There is no way to communicate with the outside world.
But the winner can be determined by the dramatic changes in the points of Tan Taifeng and Nevsky in the rankings.
"Hoffman, where is he?" Li Yuan walked in the mountain valley, looking for the other party's trace.
Along the way, he would chase down and kill any celestial creatures and contestants he encountered, sweeping away everything.
Li Yuan's points are still increasing.
