"Contestant No. 8 versus Contestant No. 666."
Sure enough, the name list of the fifth group was announced, and it was Flame Emperor's disciple versus Du Feng.
"Brother Du, I can't cheer for you anymore. How good would it be if you fought against Contestant No. 13?"
Fu Xi looked at Du Feng awkwardly. It was a pity that he couldn't cheer for his friend because it was his Senior Brother who was going to fight this time. If Contestant No. 13 was from the Shangguan family, he could cheer for him.
"Uh …" Du Feng felt a headache coming on. He didn't want to fight against Contestant No. 13.
When the order of the matches was announced, it started with Contestant No. 1. When the real match started, Contestant No. 1 and Contestant No. 2 would go to the arena first. As a result, Du Feng and his team were placed at the end of the fifth group.
Although they were in the last group, they could basically fight in a few days, so Du Feng couldn't leave the venue. Moreover, he didn't want to leave, because the following matches were all going to be exciting. Especially Contestant No. 1 and Captain No. 2 in the first match, and Contestant No. 10, Azure Thearch's disciple in the fourth match, against the mysterious Contestant No. 13 from the Shangguan family. Even Du Tulong was very concerned about Contestant No. 13 and told Du Feng to avoid him as much as possible.
The more Du Tulong told Du Feng to avoid Contestant No. 13, the more curious Du Feng was about Contestant No. 13. This curiosity made his heart itch, and he couldn't wait to see Contestant No. 13's match right away.
The real order of the matches had to follow the rules. The first to fight was still Contestant No. 1, Azure Thearch's disciple, and Contestant No. 2, Celestial Thearch's disciple. They were also the two most popular contestants in this joust for a spouse event. Both of them looked to be in their thirties. One wore a green robe and used a long sword, while the other wore silver armor and used a broadsword.
Both of them were at the peak of the ninth stage of the Immortal Lord Stage, and they had stayed at the peak for a long time, ready to break through to the Celestial Emperor Stage at any time. In order to make a breakthrough, martial artists would often stay at the same stage for a period of time.
During this period of time, he had been accumulating strength and waiting for an opportunity. For example, if Contestant Number One and Contestant Number Two had already progressed to the Immortal Emperor Stage, then they wouldn't have a chance to participate in this joust for a spouse event. If he didn't participate in the joust for a spouse event, he wouldn't have a chance to become the Yellow Emperor's son-in-law, nor would he have a chance to win any prizes.
If they were to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, they would just be newbies in the Immortal Emperor Realm. However, even though he was only at the pinnacle of the Ninth Level High Immortal realm, he was definitely one of the strongest High Immortal realm cultivators.
"Begin!"
After both of them were in position, the Yellow Emperor announced the start of the competition. This time, he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he let the two contestants prepare themselves. Each of them had a sword. Both of them were sword cultivators. However, judging from the style of the sword, Contestant Number One was better at mid-to-long distance combat, while Contestant Number Two was better at mid-to-short distance combat.
Sure enough, as soon as the match started. Contestant Number One swung the sword in his hand, and a green sword Qi instantly shot out. He wanted to keep his opponent at a distance and not give his opponent a chance to get close.
Contestant Number Two used the broadsword in his hand to parry the sword Qi before looking for an opportunity to get close to his opponent. It had to be said that both of them were experts. Their moves were flawless. Du Feng was also watching very seriously. He was also analyzing who would win.
If they were outside, Contestant Number One would have a higher chance of winning. This was because he specialized in using sword Qi and flying swords, and his movement technique was especially fast. As long as he ran casually, his opponent wouldn't be able to catch up. If he was constantly attacked by sword Qi and flying swords, he would lose sooner or later.
Contestant Number Two's attack range was short. If he couldn't catch up, he wouldn't be able to hit his opponent. It could be said that Contestant Number One was undefeatable.
However, the current situation was different. Both of them were on the dueling ring. No matter how spacious the dueling ring was, its size was limited. For High Immortal realm cultivators, the distance of the dueling ring could be covered in one or two leaps. As long as they grasped the opportunity, they would be able to get close to their opponent.
In this battle, Contestant Number One used many different sword techniques than Canyang. Although they were all disciples taught by the Lotus Thearch, their methods of nurturing were different.
Contestant Number Two was also very interesting. Most of his senior and junior brothers used spears, but he used a broadsword. Furthermore, it was a two-handed sword. The specialty of this broadsword was its large weight and inertia. When it was used to slash, it would be very powerful. However, it was relatively clumsy.
Although they were both two-handed weapons, it was different from using a spear. A spear could borrow the strength of one's arms and the strength of one's shoulders to stab forward. However, a weapon like a broadsword basically relied on the strength of one's fingers and wrist. At most, one could borrow some strength. Even the strength of one's arm was rarely used.
This was because once one raised one's arm too high, it would reveal a huge opening. Therefore, people who used broadswords had to have great hand strength. Contestant Number Two clearly had great hand strength and wrist strength. That was why the Celestial Thearch allowed him to use a broadsword.
In the beginning, Contestant Number One had indeed kept Contestant Number Two at a safe distance. Moreover, he even used sword Qi to slash his body a few times. However, Contestant Number Two was already prepared. He wore a thick armor and didn't care about the clumsiness. The few streaks of Sword Qi only left a few white marks on his body. They didn't really hurt him.
As time passed and his physical strength decreased, Contestant Number One was finally able to get close to him. At a close distance, it was not convenient to use sword Qi and flying swords. The two of them could only use close-range sword techniques.
Oh my, Du Feng realized that he had really underestimated Contestant Number One, or rather, he had underestimated Emperor Qing's teaching method.
Previously, Contestant Number One, including Canyang and the other disciples, used long-range attacks to defeat their opponents. He didn't expect that Contestant Number One's close-range sword techniques were also quite good when it came to close-range combat. He kept circling around his opponent and striking with his sword. Contestant Number Two, on the other hand, stood his ground to defend and counterattack.
Du Feng tried his best to memorize the sword techniques he could learn and then combined them with his own characteristics to think of how to use them. Because Contestant Number One kept running and his sword was relatively light. After fighting for a long time, he felt that he was at a disadvantage.
"It seems that Lord Qing's disciple is going to lose. I was quite optimistic about him."
"Yeah, I heard that he is Lord Qing's favorite disciple. He didn't perform very well this time."
"It's not his fault. After all, the venue is limited, which affects his performance."
"You're right. I also think it's the venue."
