Chapter 18: Sneak Attack
Ta-da! Ta-da!
With steady steps, a young man came towards them.
He was tall and well-proportioned, with thick eyebrows and thin lips. He looked sinister.
Ranked seventh on the Fengyun Ranking, people in the outer courtyard called him Boss Wen, Wen Chong!
Xu Xiaoshou felt a strong pressure coming at him. He knew that Wen Chong had a skill that was ready to take effect. If he let him take effect, he might not be able to take even one move.
He held the spirit crystal in his hand, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and chuckled: "Hello, Junior Brother!"
Wen Chong stumbled, and his teeth ached with anger, and his pressure collapsed.
Yes, even though he was mighty and powerful, in front of Xu Xiaoshou, he was just a junior brother who entered the school a year later.
The audience was also worried about how Xu Xiaoshou would be able to withstand the pressure at the beginning, but unexpectedly, this kid used tricks frequently, which were quite effective.
"It's so funny, I'm convinced by Xu Xiaoshou!"
"Oh my god, he dares to say that in front of Boss Wen, my legs would be weak."
"Haha, why do you think he can still stand now? Xu Xiaoshou is still very strong."
In the field, Wen Chong's eyebrows and eyes were like eagles, staring at him: "Xu Xiaoshou, you are very good. If you dare to touch my people, you must have been mentally prepared."
Xu Xiaoshou naturally knew who he was talking about. Liu Zhen, everyone knows him!
He secretly hated himself. Why was he so unlucky? He just beat the younger one, and the older one ran out, not giving him any time to develop!
He turned his head and glared at the referee.
The referee waved his hand in anger and said angrily: "The game begins!"
Xu Xiaoshou instantly distanced himself. Wen Chong's strongest move was not the coercion move, but a spiritual skill called "Shadow Spirit Method".
This spiritual skill can transform into seven clones at the same time. With Wen Chong's elusive dagger technique, once stuck, there is no escape.
Although the "Shadow Splitting Spiritual Technique" is at the acquired level, its practicality is comparable to that of the innate.
Seeing Xu Xiaoshou retreat, Wen Chong smiled coldly, which was exactly what he wanted.
The longer the "Shadow Splitting Spiritual Technique" accumulates, the more clones can be summoned in the first time. Since Xu Xiaoshou wants to distance himself, let's delay time together.
As soon as the seal fell, Wen Chong sneered. When he summoned seven clones, Xu Xiaoshou would definitely die!
There was sound before the match on the ring started. It was quiet at the beginning, but the audience seats were not like this, and they were always boiling.
"Xu Xiaoshou is crazy? Doesn't he know that Boss Wen's 'Shadow Spiritual Technique' can also be used to accumulate power? Pull away and wait for death?"
"I heard that he only knows one style of 'White Cloud Sword Technique', maybe he really doesn't know?"
"It's over, it's over, when Boss Wen and his seven clones rush over, this guy will be sliced into pieces."
"Yeah, not only does he have a ninth-grade spiritual weapon, but others also have it! Boss Wen's pair of purple daggers, wow, terrible!"
"Look, Xu Xiaoshou is still holding a wooden sword? Damn, he, he closed his eyes?"
Liu Zhen had already woken up from the care of the medical staff, and when he arrived at the audience, he saw that both of them were ready to go.
His pupils shrank, not because of Wen Chong's "Shadow Spiritual Technique", but because he saw Xu Xiaoshou's familiar closed eyes.
This is...
The sword technique that he didn't use at the last moment in the last game?
Everyone revealed their cards at the beginning, so irritable?
Xu Xiaoshou was indeed planning this. His body no longer allowed him to fight a protracted battle. Since both the "Spiritual Technique of the Clone" and "White Clouds" needed to accumulate momentum, he would decide the outcome with one move!
However, in order to prevent injuries, he still used the wooden sword!
He was a caring player who always cared about his opponent.
He had tried the wooden sword yesterday, and the attack was pretty good, barely able to cut through the bark.
In fact, the strength of "White Clouds" was not the weapon, but the sword intent!
On the other side, a series of illusory figures appeared around Wen Chong, and everyone dared not breathe, knowing that the victory or defeat was just a moment.
The referee's body had sunk. To be honest, this kind of confrontation was what they feared the most in their line of work.
If you don't let them fight, you can't tell who will win; if you let them fight, someone might die.
"Huh!"
He stared at Xu Xiaoshou, at his wooden sword, at him closing his eyes, at his gradually dimming breath, and panicked.
You should be more powerful!
Don't you have a ninth-grade spiritual sword? Take it out and fight!
As long as you can survive Wen Chong's first attack, I can save you!
"Buzz!"
A crisp sword sound rang out, and everyone's heart tightened, and they looked at Xu Xiaoshou's sword.
Uh, wooden sword?
Did I hear it wrong?
Is it Wen Chong's dagger that is vibrating?
Everyone turned back and saw a gleam of light in Wen Chong's eyes, and his figure turned into a phantom, shifting and changing positions, and crossing and flashing with his clone to cut towards Xu Xiaoshou.
The distance is shortened...
Half the field!
Ten feet!
Xu Xiaoshou... is still closing his eyes!
Everyone cursed in their hearts, death is imminent, you don't open your eyes, you may never open them again!
The referee rushed over instantly. This Xu Xiaoshou was crazy. He was seriously injured and must have given up the game!
However, when the two were only a few feet away, Xu Xiaoshou opened his eyes, holding the sword in his right hand, and he had already drawn a sword without knowing when!
This sword was extremely slow, like a leisurely white cloud, instantly calming the restless hearts of everyone.
"Buzz!"
Another sword sounded, and now everyone saw clearly that it was Xu Xiaoshou's wooden sword that was jumping for joy, not Wen Chong's dagger.
"Wooden sword?"
"What's going on?"
Everyone in the audience was eager to react, but they were also in trouble.
"Clang——"
This sound was that everyone's swords were trembling, as if they were pulled by the sword intent and connected into one.
This scene was so familiar that all the sword cultivators present couldn't help but think of the unknown sword sound in the outer courtyard the day before yesterday.
Could it be that it was caused by Xu Xiaoshou?
"How, how is this possible?"
"Am I dazzled?"
In the void, Xiao Qixiu's eyes widened, and he held his long sword in shock.
Acquired sword intent? !
Is it really Xu Xiaoshou? !
In the field, as the buzzing sound sounded, Wen Chong immediately changed his moves, almost sticking to Xu Xiaoshou's nose and retreating, and seven clones blocked him in an instant.
Clang clang clang...
The sword light and the purple dagger intersected, and the clanging sound was endless.
Wen Chong's face was full of shock. This kid's sword actually cut out no less than hundreds of sword lights. This seemingly slow sword net not only blocked his attack route, but also forced him to retreat again and again.
"How is it possible?"
"Isn't this kid a body-building guy? How can he have such a terrifying swordsmanship?"
Swish, swish, swish!
Wen Chong's clones were chopped into pieces one by one, and fine sword marks appeared on his body, and blood spurted out!
Liu Zhen outside the ring was shocked. This swordsmanship...
He remembered that Xu Xiaoshou was still holding the "Hidden Bitterness" at that time. If he hadn't used the Dark Tribulation to break Xu Xiaoshou's attack, wouldn't he have become a piece of meat at this time?
Sure enough, this kid was just as he thought, hiding his true power!
In the ring, Wen Chong was cut back to his original position by the sword light, and was even forced out of the ring.
He put away his dagger, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and a spiritual shield suddenly burst out from his body, instantly breaking away all the sword light.
"Charge the spiritual shield!"
The spiritual energy dissipated, but Wen Chong's pupils shrank.
Xu Xiaoshou's long hair on his forehead tilted as he rushed forward, and the wooden sword seemed to be erected on his throat.
"You lose."
Gulp!
Wen Chong swallowed his saliva subconsciously, and his Adam's apple rolled, leaving a blood mark under the sword energy of the wooden sword.
His face was covered in blood, but it was all superficial wounds. He was still in peak condition, but he just lost.
One sword, one word.
No. 7 on the Fengyun Ranking, defeated!
Walking in the wind, the audience was silent, and the referee was stagnant behind him.
Xu Xiaoshou put away his sword and turned around. He wanted to go back to rest and recover. With this sword, his spiritual power was drained.
His legs trembled...
Hold on, can't fall down, so many people are watching, must pretend to be perfect!
Wen Chong was full of resentment. In addition to accumulating strength, the real battle didn't even last for a few breaths, and he actually lost?
No. 7 on the Fengyun Ranking, Wen Lao Da from the outer courtyard, actually lost!
He didn't look back. Being in the barrier, he seemed to have heard the ruthless ridicule from the audience.
This Xu Xiaoshou, Liu Zhen could cripple him, but Wen Lao Da was defeated by him with one sword!
This Xu Xiaoshou dared to tease Di Xiner with a wooden sword, and Wen Lao Da was helpless after he came on the court!
A fierce look flashed across Wen Chong's eyes!
The purple dagger he held upside down in his sleeve flashed a hidden aura, and turned into a phantom and rushed forward again!
"Be careful!"
"Wen Chong, stop!"
"The game is over, the game is over!"
The referee rushed forward with a roar. He never expected that just because he shouted "the game is over" too late, it would lead to such a consequence.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Xiaoshou had won, but Wen Chong actually attacked him!
He had no time to stop it!
"Ambush, passive value, +1."
Because Xu Xiaoshou was greedy for money, he always had a ray of attention on the information column. At this time, he saw this information and turned around and attacked.
Swish!
Wen Chong's ninth-grade spiritual dagger pierced Xu Xiaoshou's shoulder fiercely, and blood spurted out.
Swish!
Xu Xiaoshou's right hand passed through Wen Chong's chest, and that position was the heart!
