Chapter 595: Inazuma 1st Martial Arts Tournament (5)
The excitement of the martial arts tournament exceeded the imagination of all Inazuma's viewers.
Ordinary people and original gods, original gods and original gods.
Various battles emerged one after another, and even demons and ghosts came to participate.
These martial arts tournaments one after another have told everyone in Inazuma that the "original gods" who use elemental power are not the strongest.
As time went by, Funina had a "lucky bye" again and again, while the rest of the contestants had to fight hard with their opponents in order to gain the honor of advancing.
In fact, Funina's multiple byes also attracted the attention of some people, and some defeated participants with bad character took this opportunity to attack her...
And then... no more.
The attack started in the previous second, and the space teleportation thrown by Y'k'trashil arrived in the next second.
The beating from the monsters started on the spot.
The defeated contestants who wanted to attack Finina didn't even have time to utter a word of dissatisfaction before they were forcibly thrown by Yktrasil, the "sister-con", into the secret realm where monsters like the "Curly-haired Baboon" lived.
The curly-haired baboon is an extremely special monster. How special is it? You'll have to ask the "Lord of the Bathroom" or "God of Poverty" in another universe.
After these people were thrown into the secret realm where the curly-haired baboons were, there was no doubt that the "stupid" curly-haired baboons received teachings from the "gods", and thus launched an inhumane beating against these guys whose fighting power had been sealed.
Until they were beaten unconscious, they had no idea why they suddenly appeared here.
After being knocked unconscious, Y'k'trashil, who was far away in the Star Realm, snorted coldly, healed their injuries and then teleported them back.
But just in case, she also left a mark on these guys.
As long as these guys want to say anything to criticize Furninna, they will be teleported to the secret space of the curly-haired baboon again.
Then I was severely educated.
Since then, it seemed that some rumors had spread, and those dissatisfied defeated participants chose to keep quiet.
Three days later, the competition reached the five-person semi-final venue.
There is no doubt that Funina was lucky to have a bye again.
And old veterans like Iwazō Kyoyuki and Kaedehara Kageharu, who took the opportunity to "train" their juniors, also deliberately looked for opportunities to be defeated and leave.
Therefore, the only participants still in the arena were Ying, Kujo Sara, Kong, and Yan.
Kamisato Ayaka encountered Yan, and was forcibly sent away by him using the sword skills that he had "trained" with Iwazaki Kyoyuki.
Kamisato Ayato encountered Ying and was beaten by the three elemental forces, leaving him confused.
In particular, the electric shock phenomenon caused by the reaction between the thunder element and the water element made his body numb after fighting for an hour.
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen a "genin" who could use three elemental powers.
When he watched the battle arena before, he thought that Kong and Ying used some special secret method. Now it seems...
Be honest, be honest.
As for Maple Leaf?
After winning the resurrection match, Kaedehara Kageharu secretly sought out Kitsusaigumi and asked her for help.
The two then met again in the arena.
As for the result...
Fengyuan Manye was naturally beaten to a pulp by his own father who had disguised his identity.
The swordsmanship of Isshin-ryu was performed to perfection by Kaedehara Kageharu, and even Iwazo Kyoyuki, who was a spectator at the time, couldn't help but feel itchy to try his hand at it.
For Iwazō Kyoyuki, beating younger people was "education", but beating peers was fighting.
In today's fighting arena, there are not many people who can be favored by him, so he treats most of the contestants as "juniors".
……
At the same time, inside the arena.
Ying and Yan were about twenty meters apart, and they looked at each other seriously.
"Hello, have we... met before?" Looking at Yan's face, Ying thought carefully, then asked tentatively.
"Yes." Yan nodded and replied, "It was in Narukami-cho. I happened to meet you when I was strolling with Manye at that time."
Ying nodded slightly, "I see. Meeting here today looks like it will be a tough battle."
Yan clenched the sword in his hand, "It is my honor to fight against you who has mastered the three elemental powers. I will definitely do my best."
After that, after Sasayuri said the battle had begun, Yan took the lead. He let out a low roar, and the lightning element surged out, rushing towards Ying like a dazzling lightning.
The sword was wrapped in violent lightning and slashed towards Ying with powerful momentum.
Ying was not in a hurry. She tapped her feet lightly, and the wind element surrounded her. Her figure instantly floated backwards. At the same time, she gathered the rock element in her hands and waved it lightly. Several hard rocks rose from the ground in front of her and blocked Yan's lightning blade attack.
The lightning blade slashed on the rock, splashing sparks and gravel.
Yan used the reaction force of the collision to flexibly change the direction of attack and attacked again from the side.
Seeing this, Ying's eyes flashed, and he injected the lightning element into the sword in his hand, meeting Yan's sword.
The swords collided, lightning flashed, and powerful electric currents ran wildly between the two men.
As Ying waved her other hand, wind elements whistled around, forming wind blades that swept towards Yan.
Yan sensed the wind blades coming and jumped with force to avoid most of the wind blade attacks. He flipped in the air, adjusted his body shape, and concentrated the power of the lightning element on the tip of the sword, stabbing towards Ying from top to bottom.
Ying dodged the attack by moving sideways while transforming the rock element into rock spikes that protruded from the ground and stabbed towards Yan.
Yan was unable to dodge in the air and could only use his sword to quickly push away the rocks, but a few rock spikes still grazed his body and tore his clothes.
"You use the elemental power very skillfully." Yan said after landing.
Ying responded: "You are not bad either, your swordsmanship is quite sharp."
After a brief pause, the two men launched an attack at the same time.
Ying skillfully combined the three elements this time. The wind element increased his speed and interfered with Yan's actions, the rock element built a defensive barrier in front of him, and the lightning element jumped and flashed on the barrier, forming a line of defense that was both offensive and defensive.
Seeing this, Yan took a deep breath, and perfectly integrated the thunder element with the rhythm of his own swordsmanship. The sword danced into a ball of light and shadow, and attacked Ying's defense line like a storm.
Under the fierce attack, cracks gradually appeared in Ying's defense barrier. She realized that she could not just defend, so she took the initiative to attack.
As her defenses fell apart, she rushed towards Yan, her sword carrying the power of the three elements, and engaged in fierce close combat with Yan's sword.
The sound of swords clashing was endless, and the figures of the two people quickly crossed each other in the arena.
As the battle continued, Yan's physical strength was gradually depleted, and his attack speed and power decreased.
Ying seized the opportunity and used the lightning and wind elements to create a special thunderstorm effect around Yan. Yan's body suddenly became paralyzed and his movements slowed down.
Ying also took advantage of the victory and used the resonance of rock elements to crack the ground under Yan's feet. Yan staggered and almost fell.
"It seems that I am still a little inferior." Yan smiled bitterly. He knew that it would be difficult for him to turn the situation around.
The opponent had three elemental powers to use, leaving him at a loss as to how to proceed.
Every attack can be neutralized by the combination of elemental forces...
Thinking back to his past battles with his teacher and previous battles with the "Ghost Mask Swordsman Senior", he also realized that his sword skills were still very inadequate.
Ying put away her elemental power and said, "You are already very strong. This battle was very exciting."
Yan nodded, "I will continue to work hard on my training and look forward to fighting you again next time."
After saying that, Yan turned around and slowly left the arena, while Ying walked towards the preparation area to prepare for the next battle.
……
At the same time, on the other side, the battle between Kong and Kujo Sara also reached a critical point.
Sora and Kujo Sara faced off in the arena; the air around them seemed to be frozen by their auras.
Kujo Sara's eyes were cold, locked on the sky like an eagle. She pulled the bowstring tightly in her hand, the tip of the arrow flashed with cold light, and it whistled towards the sky like a meteor. The arrow cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
Kong remained calm, and he gently waved the sword in his hand. The wind element instantly gathered in front of him, forming an invisible barrier.
The arrow hit the barrier and was blocked by the power of the wind element. It fell to the ground with a "ding-dong" sound.
Seeing this, Jiu Tiao Sha Luo frowned, and his hands kept moving, shooting several arrows in succession, each arrow aimed directly at Kong's vital points.
Kong's body was agile and his feet were full of wind. He used the power of the wind element to move quickly and moved freely in the rain of arrows. The arrows flew past his body and failed to hurt him at all.
Seeing that his long-range attacks were ineffective, Kujo Sara decisively dropped his bow, drew the long sword from his waist, and rushed into the air like a black lightning.
Under the education of the Tengu clan and the Kujo family, her sword skills are no weaker than her archery skills!
Her long sword gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the sun, and every swing of it brought with it great power and fierce momentum.
Kong stopped dodging. He injected rock elements into the sword and met the attack from Kujo Sara.
The swords collided, splashing a few sparks. Kong firmly resisted Kujo Sara's attack. The ground beneath his feet cracked slightly because it could not bear the power of the two.
Kujo Sara shouted loudly and increased his strength, trying to suppress Kong.
Kong Ze was not in a hurry. He suddenly withdrew his strength, dodged to the side, and swung the sword in his hand. A lightning blade was wrapped in the wind element and flew towards the nine Saras.
Kujo Sara hurriedly dodged sideways, the lightning blade brushed past her arm and tore her sleeve, and the wind elemental force broke her skin.
Suddenly, a scar appeared on her arm.
"uh-huh!"
Feeling the pain coming, Kujo Sara groaned, but his expression did not change at all.
Kong also took the opportunity to launch a wind element attack. A gust of wind swept towards Kujo Sara, making her body a little unstable.
Kujo Sara steadied her body, a look of determination flashing in her eyes. She knew very well how powerful and changeable Kong was, and she could no longer hold back.
She infused the power of the lightning element into the long sword, and the long sword was instantly surrounded by lightning, making a "sizzling" sound of electricity.
She let out a low roar and unleashed her unique thunder blade technique, slashing at the air several times in rapid succession. Each strike was packed with the power of the thunder element, drawing dazzling streaks of lightning in the air, as if she was going to tear the air apart.
Kong felt this fierce attack, his expression remained calm, but his eyes were more focused.
He skillfully combined the wind element and the rock element and quickly built a rock shield in front of him. The power of the wind element flowed on the surface of the rock shield, making it not only extremely hard but also able to weaken the impact of the enemy's attack.
The lightning blade slashed on the rock shield, splashing countless sparks and arcs of electricity. Although some cracks appeared on the rock shield, it successfully withstood this round of fierce attack.
When Kujo Sara saw that her attack missed, she was not discouraged at all. Instead, she used the reaction force of the collision with the rock shield to jump high, adjusted her body in the air, gathered the lightning element at the tip of the long sword, and then slashed fiercely into the air. This attack gathered her powerful strength and the explosive power of the lightning element, like the wrath of Thor coming to the earth.
Seeing this, Kong quickly dispersed his rock shield, moved his feet quickly, and dodged to the side, avoiding the powerful blow.
The lightning struck the ground, instantly creating a big hole and causing dust to fly.
While Kujo Sara was still unstable on the ground, Kong immediately launched the wind element combat skill "Wind Vortex Sword".
He swung the sword in his hand quickly, and a small wind vortex formed on the blade, which contained powerful suction and cutting force.
Kong threw the wind vortex towards Kujo Sara, and it kept growing during the flight. As soon as Kujo Sara stabilized her body, she felt a strong suction pulling her. She struggled to stand firmly and used her long sword to block the cutting of the wind vortex.
However, the wind blades in the vortex still left some small wounds on her body, her clothes were cut, and her skin was bleeding.
Kujo Sara gritted her teeth and decided to launch the elemental burst "Glorious Thousand Paths of Suppression".
Then she was seen holding the long sword in both hands and releasing the power of the lightning element in her body without reservation. The sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and the lightning element rolled violently in the clouds.
Then, above Kong's head, Tengu's Cursed Thunder, Kong Kong Hua, descended. A gigantic ball of thunder, carrying a breath of destruction, smashed towards Kong.
Kong looked up with a serious expression. He immediately injected rock elements into the ground beneath his feet, forming a huge rock platform. He stood on the platform, which blocked some of the damage from the thunder ball. However, the impact of the thunder ball explosion still knocked him back.
Before Kong could steady himself, the Tengu Curse Thunder: Kong Kong Huai spread out and transformed into 4 consecutive Tengu Curse Thunder: Lei Li, whistling towards Kong.
Kong took a deep breath. He knew he couldn't panic at this moment. He mobilized the wind element in his body and used "Wind Breath Agitation" to summon a huge tornado in front of him.
The tornado spun rapidly, sucking all four streaks of lightning into it. The wind and thunder collided and intertwined with each other in the tornado, emitting dazzling light and deafening roars.
Kujo Sara looked at the sky covered by the tornado and did not relax her vigilance. She clenched her long sword and rushed towards the tornado.
As she approaches the tornado, Sora leaps out of it, his body wrapped in the power of the three elements: wind, rock, and thunder.
He swung the sword in his hand and slashed at the nine Saras. This sword combined the characteristics of three elements: the agility and cutting power of wind, the heaviness and impact of rock, and the violence and paralysis effect of thunder.
Kujo Sara felt the powerful force of the sword, and she concentrated all her energy and strength to block it with her long sword.
The swords collided again, and this time, a powerful wave of force spread out in all directions, blowing away some of the broken stones around.
In the confrontation of power, Kong gradually gained the upper hand. He increased the output of elemental power, and Kujo Sara gradually became unable to cope.
But she still persisted stubbornly, without any sign of retreat in her eyes.
However, the increase brought by the three elemental forces was no longer something she could contend with.
Kujo Sara gritted his teeth, trying to gather his strength to fight back, but Kong's attack came like a tide.
With a loud bang, Kujo Sara's long sword finally couldn't withstand such pressure and broke.
Kong Cheng rushed forward, and a sword energy with three-colored light hit Kujo Sara, and her body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.
Kujo Sara struggled to stand up, but found that his strength was almost exhausted.
Seeing this scene, Sasayuri instantly appeared between the two and directly announced the result of this duel.
"I declare that the winner of this semi-final is the traveler from a foreign land - Sora!"
