Chapter 160: The Taishan Assembly (II)
Now that the places in the quarterfinals have been determined, the next step is to select the top four, and this time the opponent is still determined by lot, but not at the same time on the square. **.
The reason for this is because they are all competitions of masters, which are very interesting, and they have to be tested one by one.
The eight of them all walked to the middle-aged Taoist priest on the square to draw lots, Duan Yu and Murong Fu glanced at each other, and asked in unison, "Why are you here?"
Murong Fu thought that Duan Yu was wandering freely in the rivers and lakes some time ago, but he met at the Taishan Conference.
And Duan Yu was stunned at the beginning, thought about it for a while, and then knew it in his heart.
He understood that Murong Fuping's greatest wish in his life was to establish his own power, and then pursue the cause of reviving the Yan Kingdom, dreaming of being an emperor.
This Taishan Conference is an excellent opportunity to build up his own power, once Murong Fu wins the championship, then he can serve as the leader of the martial arts alliance in the north, and then command many sects and rangers from all walks of life, he will be very confident.
Then the lottery was drawn, Duan Yu glanced at the bamboo stick in his hand, but saw that it was number three.
After they showed their respective bamboo sticks to the middle-aged Taoist, the middle-aged Taoist priest arranged the people for each competition.
The first game was played by Kurokawa Dazang against Gongsun Hong, the second was played by Shui Tianji against Murong Fu, the third was played by Hu Buchou against Mu Langjun, and the fourth was played by Duan Yu against Huo Baoyu.
When Duan Yu heard this result, he suddenly thought in his heart: "I didn't expect that my first opponent would be Huo Baoyu, and I would definitely not show mercy to him when I fought against him." If I win, then he won't have a chance to challenge Kurokawa. But I'll give it my go. The odds are great. ”
The sky is late, the sun is setting, and Mount Tai is reflected by the glow. It looks even more spectacular.
In particular, the statue of the stone sword in the middle of the square is reflected in the sunset sun, showing a colorful color, which is quite spectacular.
"Before it completely darkened, the first competition will be held, and the 'white-clothed swordsman' Kurokawa Dazang will fight against the 'Troubled World Dragon' Gongsun Hong!" the middle-aged Taoist priest announced.
Kurokawa Dazang didn't say a word, and walked to the middle of the square step by step, his pace was not very fast. The aura emanating is not strong either. If he didn't have so many fierce challenge victories before, the martial arts heroes present would find it hard to believe that he was a master.
He did so for a reason, and never in a non-combat situation. Waste a little effort.
This concept is completely different from that of the Central Plains warriors.
Duan Yu glanced at Gongsun Hong not far away, this person's name sounded very gentle, but the person was very reckless, and he was nearly nine feet tall. Wearing purple dragon leather armor. With a full beard, he carried a heavy dragon stick.
Gongsun Hong glanced at Heichuan Dazang deeply, his eyes were slightly entangled, Duan Yu felt that he was probably regretting how he had met such a difficult guy in the first game.
The warriors who watched the battle all knew that from the general situation, Gongsun Hong, the "Dragon of the Troubled World", was very likely to enter the top three and get rich competition rewards. But in the showdown with Kurokawa Dazang, the victory or defeat is four or six open.
After all, the purple-clothed marquis, who is about the same name as Gongsun Hongwei, was killed by Kurokawa Dazang a few days ago.
"Hmph. Mysterious white-clothed swordsman, it turns out that your real name is Kurokawa Dazang. You regard my Central Plains heroes as if they were nothing, and today I have to avenge the dead heroes!" Gongsun Hong said such a sentence that seemed to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and he was about to walk to the square.
The surrounding stands erupted in applause and cheers.
"Wait, if you want revenge, you have to take revenge first. Huo Baoyu suddenly shouted.
All eyes looked at him, feeling that it was very inappropriate for Huo Baoyu to say such things at this time, and he didn't understand the rules.
"It turned out to be Huo's nephew, I have a good relationship with your father Huo Feiteng and my stepfather Huang Feiyang, so I can't let you challenge such a dangerous white-clothed swordsman. ”
Gongsun Hong said solemnly: "If I can defeat him and kill him, then it will be the best result, and I will avenge all the heroes who are under his sword, but if I am not as good as others and I am killed by him, then I can also save my life." ”
Huo Baoyu's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little crazy, it was estimated that he hadn't slept well these days, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Please also ask Uncle Gongsun to give me a chance, I can't wait for revenge." ”
Duan Yu looked at Huo Baoyu's state, it shouldn't be particularly powerful, and he was very curious in his heart, would this Huo Baoyu still defeat Kurokawa Dazang in the end like in the original book? He couldn't predict the result, so he could only wait and see.
"Young people have a bright future, you still don't want to be so reckless. Besides, this is the Taishan Conference, a martial arts event, and the order of the battle has been decided by lot, so you can't mess with the rules. The middle-aged Taoist priest said earnestly.
Because Huo Baoyu's background is very good, and his reputation over the years can also be good, everyone respects him quite a lot.
Huo Baoyu suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "All the heroes present have fulfilled me, and the revenge of killing my father is not shared, and I can't wait for a moment." ”
Suddenly, the warriors watching the battle were talking, and the middle-aged Taoist priest did not dare to make his own decisions.
"Let him come first, I already have a duel with him. Kurokawa Dazang suddenly said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged Taoist priest then nodded and said, "That's the only way, then Gongsun Hong's opponent will be adjusted to Duan Yu later, I don't know if you have any opinions?"
Duan Yu and Gongsun Hong both said they had no opinion, and then they retreated to the stands.
So, Kurokawa Dazang and Huo Baoyu confronted each other in the square, and everyone wanted to see if Huo Baoyu, a famous family, could live up to expectations and defeat the mysterious white-clothed swordsman from Dongying.
The two confronted each other for a while, and Huo Baoyu frowned and said, "Why don't you draw your sword yet?"
"Because your heart has not been calmed, I do not want to prevail. Kurokawa Dazang said calmly.
"I won't thank you. Huo Baoyu said coldly, then he took a few deep breaths, and finally adjusted his state a little.
"Keng~" With the sound of a sword roar, Huo Baoyu pulled out the blue water sword, and the momentum was like a rainbow attack.
Kurokawa Dazang drew his sword with both hands and dismantled the tricks very rigorously.
Cheng Bi's sword light enveloped Kurokawa Dazang, and Huo Baoyu launched a storm like an attack like a storm jade, and the ground around him was splattered with sword qi and became fragmented.
The warriors watching the battle were amazed, they hadn't seen such a subtle and mysterious sword technique for a long time.
Huo Baoyu's swordsmanship is ingenious and varied, while Kurokawa Dazang's swordsmanship is simple, fast, and practical.
After disassembling a stick of incense, several sword marks appeared on his body, but none of them were seriously injured.
Suddenly, Huo Baoyu roared angrily: "If you have a kind of Yan Hui trick again, I already have a way to crack it." ”
"If you do this, you will surely die. Kurokawa Dazang said coldly.
"Pretend to be powerful, and suffer death. Huo Baoyu has been blinded by hatred, and he is no longer as radiant as before.
"Tianshui Sword Technique!" Huo Baoyu showed off the trick he had just recently practiced.
Suddenly, his body shape came behind Kurokawa Dazang, the sword light swirled out, and eight clear sword rays burst out in an instant, when Kurokawa Dazang went to dismantle the moment, he immediately controlled these eight sword rays to merge into one, and suddenly slashed down in the air.
"I've got the upper hand, and as long as he can't catch it, or gets hurt, then I just have to hold back and fight, and I'll win. Huo Baoyu said in his heart.
Duan Yu watched this scene from a distance, and said in his heart: "In such a situation, Kurokawa Dazang can't perform the trick of "Yan Hui", so he can only passively resist. ”
The eyes of the heroes watching the battle widened, and suddenly, Kurokawa Dazang shouted: "Face the wind!"
Everyone was stunned and said, "What kind of trick is this, the name is really strange." ”
In an instant, Kurokawa Dazang swung out a sword, forming a dense and thick sword light above his head.
Huo Baoyu slashed out with all his strength with Tianshui swordsmanship, which could be resisted.
"Poof......
Before Huo Baoyu could perform other tricks, he felt that his heart was very cold and painful.
He secretly said, "Oh no!"
When he looked down, he saw Kurokawa Dazang's snow-bright long sword piercing his heart.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that I practiced the Tianshui Sword Technique, but I still failed. This revenge can't be avenged!" Huo Baoyu smiled bitterly and fell to the ground and died.
His blue sword fell, stabbing against the shattered stone slab, whimpering in the wind, as if he were weeping for his master.
Just now, most people didn't see clearly how Kurokawa Dazang not only resisted the full force of Tianshui's sword technique at the last moment, but also sent out a sharp counterattack.
Duan Yu could see clearly that Heichuan Dazang was also desperate, and the sword he swung out with the intention of resisting was actually the same as the sword that pierced Huo Baoyu's heart later.
He didn't think about it so much, it was the sword he fought for, which seemed simple, but actually contained great courage and years of kendo kung fu.
For the result of this cruel competition, the martial artists who watched the battle were speechless, they thought that since Huo Baoyu was so anxious to challenge Kurokawa Dazang, he must have an extremely powerful trick and would definitely win.
It could have been a good story, Huo Baoyu, the son of Huo Feiteng, the desert eagle, bravely fought Heichuan Dazang at the Taishan Conference, went through hardships, and finally defeated him and killed him to avenge his father-in-law Huang Feiyang.
It's a pity that these are all beautiful illusions of the heroes in advance, in fact, without the halo of the protagonist, it is difficult for people like Huo Baoyu to grow up.
"He was indeed blinded by hatred and lost his original wisdom and temperament. Duan Yu sighed in his heart.
Duan Yu felt that this could not be blamed on Kurokawa Dazang being too ruthless, because in that case, if he didn't seize the opportunity and deliver a fatal blow, then Huo Baoyu would win and kill him.
In the duel competition, there is no right or wrong between the warriors, only the difference between the strong and the weak.
The warriors were full of righteous indignation, and Gongsun Hong, the "dragon of the troubled world", immediately raised the dragon stick to seek justice.
"Wait, Huo Baoyu has exchanged places with you, so your opponent is Duan Yu. Only if you defeat Duan Yu in tomorrow's competition, will you be able to fight against Kurokawa Dazang. The middle-aged Taoist priest said solemnly. (To be continued......)
