[Tournament for the Best S3, Round Four]
[Venue: Haiyuan Domain Ruins]
After the teleportation was completed, the system prompt sounded in the ears of the [Warring States] and [Trash Alliance] members.
Following that, a wasteland dotted with broken fences and dilapidated walls appeared before everyone's eyes.
Sweeping his gaze across the area, all that was left was the rubble of the castle, the dried-up moat, the crumbling foundations of the houses, and the broken dead trees …
Such a scene could not help but raise questions. Was this vassal state in the middle of a war or was it attacked by monsters?
[The match will begin in 30 seconds.]
Soon, the 'Vanguard Battle' of the competition entered the preparation stage. When the system voice rang out, the 'Vanguard Battle' of the two teams transformed into white light and entered the arena.
The vanguard of the [Warring States] was [Sasaki].
And the vanguard of the Trash Alliance was actually … Uncle Trash?
When Akira Sasaki stood still on the field and saw his opponent, he was shocked.
As the think tank and the main force of Sengoku, Sasaki had a high priority in the team's arrangement. Today, it was he who put himself in the vanguard position.
As for the reason … it was because he was certain that his opponent would send out either Seven Kills or Flying Pegasus for the first round.
This was indeed a very reasonable assumption. Everyone knew that Seven Kills and Brony were very strong when it came to individual combat, but their ability to cooperate with others was very limited. Considering that the strength of the two sides in this match was very close, and there was a high possibility that they would go through all five rounds, in the first round of the three singles matches, one of these two, who seemed to be "only capable of fighting one-on-one" to the outside world, should come out.
Sasaki Akira took advantage of this and arranged himself as the vanguard, the most suitable person in the team to deal with these two people.
However, the reality was that the [Trash Alliance] actually sent out Uncle Trash in the first round.
With Uncle Worthless's strength, it would be the best idea to let him fight in the battle of general, deputy general, or general. However, to let him fight in the vanguard battle … was truly beyond everyone's expectations.
"I've been tricked …" A few seconds later, Sasaki quickly calmed down and continued to think to himself, "'Wise Admiral' Hong Hu … Indeed, he deserves his reputation. I'm afraid that in the following 2v2 … there will be other schemes …"
His preparation time was limited, and before he could think too much, the system shouted [Fight!] After announcing the start of the competition, the isolation barrier disappeared.
However, both parties did not move at all when the battle began.
Uncle Worthless' hands rested on the belt of his tattered bathrobe as he stood there leisurely. His entire body was relaxed, as if he was defenseless … However, his eyes under his sunglasses were fixed on his opponent, not even blinking once.
On the other side, Sasaki Akira was not so "relaxed". At least, his hand was already on the hilt of his katana, and his body was also in a fighting posture of one step forward and one side facing the enemy.
They remained in this state for about a minute. Then, Uncle Worthless suddenly asked, "Did you find it?"
"Heh …" Sasaki Akira laughed. "If I had found it, I would have already made my move, wouldn't I?"
"Hmm …" Uncle Worthless muttered and spread out his hands. "Sigh, I didn't find it either. This is not good."
There was no doubt that they were talking about the same thing — the flaw.
In the field of shogi (also known as Japanese chess), there was a saying: "The most perfect formation is the one that hasn't made a single move before the start of the game. As long as one move is made, there will be a flaw."
At this moment, the game between Uncle Worthless and Sasaki Akira was like that. Although their stances were different, in essence, they were in a perfect formation without any flaw. Therefore, neither of them was willing to make the first move.
"It's not that difficult …" Sasaki Akira thought for a few seconds and said, "There are other ways, aren't there?"
Hearing this, Uncle Worthless raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Okay, I'll play with you …"
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Worthless' combat power surged around him, and he unleashed an invisible killing field.
Sasaki Akira was also prepared for this. His supreme Sword Will burst out again and again, instantly resisting his opponent's momentum.
Just like that, the battle between the two of them went from physical to intangible.
On the battlefield, killing intent instantly condensed. The two forces entangled in the air, not giving way to each other … causing the area within a hundred meter radius to be enveloped in a murderous atmosphere.
After a while, Uncle Worthless was the first to break the silence. "So … this is your limit?"
The fact that he could say these words meant that … he had already won in this silent confrontation that hadn't lasted for too long.
"Listen to your tone …" Sasaki's forehead was already dripping with sweat as he replied, "… You seem to still have some strength left …"
"It's more than that …" Uncle Worthless still pretended to be relaxed and continued, "That's it … I didn't even use half of my power."
Of course, this was not true, but Uncle Worthless was at least one level stronger than Sasaki Akira in terms of raw power. Sasaki Akira had already felt it during this battle.
"Hmph … Fine, I'll test your so-called half of your power!" In the next second, Sasaki Akira snorted coldly and stepped forward.
After finding out the difference between him and Uncle Worthless in terms of energy, he had no reason to continue wasting time with Uncle Worthless. Since he could not win in terms of energy, he could only charge at Uncle Worthless with his body, swing his sword, and rely on his moves and tactics to win.
But as we just said … in a situation where neither of them had any flaws, the one who made the first move would be at a disadvantage.
Uncle Worthless, who was still, was able to capture Sasaki's movement and sword movements with his dynamic vision. When the enemy was about to attack, Uncle Worthless moved his palms and used [Unemployed Bankrupt Palm] to attack the opponent's flaws.
If this palm hit Akira Sasaki, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die. However, Akira Sasaki wouldn't be hit so easily … A smart player like him would leave a backup plan at every step as long as he could. Now, knowing that his first move would be easily counterattacked, how could he act without any countermeasures?
In the blink of an eye!
In the blink of an eye, Sasaki used [Sick Sword — Bamboo Dragonfly] to the side to stop his sword from moving forward. Immediately, he swung his sword and spun to the side. He relied on this move to avoid Uncle Worthless's S-class palm technique and jumped to the back of his opponent's side.
"Chance!"
The opportunity was fleeting, and there was no time to wait.
Sasaki Akira saw that the power of Uncle Worthless's palm had not been exhausted, and his body momentum was slightly offset when he withdrew his palm. He immediately decided to use his killing move to defeat the enemy in one blow.
In an instant, an eerie sword intent condensed and bloomed. When Sasaki made his move, the whole world suddenly became pitch-black.
Sob —
Sword blades danced, the sound like wind chimes.
At this moment, from a spectator's point of view, two lines of words appeared before their eyes …
[A swordsman who has not tasted defeat in three hundred years]
These 14 blood-red words seemed to have been "slashed" by a sword as they were printed on the broadcast screen.
When the two lines of words were fully revealed, pink cherry blossoms emitting a faint glow slowly floated down, gently brushing away the words.
When the words faded away, sunlight shone on the ground again, dispelling the sudden darkness.
When the screen lit up, Sasaki had already sheathed his sword and turned his back to the enemy. As for Uncle Worthless … he was lying on the ground with his face down. A large pool of blood was spreading on the ground under his body …
"I won!" Sasaki Akira, who was still gasping for air, was so excited that he clenched his fist and shouted. Obviously, he was very excited to be able to defeat an expert like Uncle Worthless.
But two seconds later, he staggered and fell to one knee …
"Hah … Hah …" After gasping for air, Sasaki Akira swallowed and thought to himself, "This title skill is powerful, but it consumes too much Stamina … I was going to hide it for the last few rounds … Sigh, so be it. It's better to expose my weakness than to lose …"
Just as he was thinking about the next round …
"Ah … Ah … You've lost a lot of blood." Uncle Worthless's languid voice rang out again.
This nonchalant and nonchalant statement sounded like a death knell to Akira Sasaki. It scared him so much that his Terror Points were about to explode.
"How is this possible?" The next second, Sasaki Akira stumbled to his feet and turned around.
But just as he turned around, a large hand grabbed his throat.
"Of all the sword skills I've learned, this is probably the most powerful single-target instant kill skill …" Uncle Worthless said as he increased the force in his hand. "Unfortunately, I'm not the kind of person who will die after a single kill."
Crack!
As he finished, the sound of a cervical vertebra snapping was heard.
Sasaki Akira's head drooped weakly to the side, and his eyes lost their light.
Seeing this, Uncle Worthless loosened his grip and allowed the 'body' to fall to the ground and collapse.
"Phew … It's done." Uncle Worthless clapped his hands and looked like he was ready to call it a day.
At this moment, although the slash mark on his bathrobe was still there, and a large patch of dark red blood had not yet dried, the sword wound on his chest had already disappeared.
At this point, the audience thought that the match was over. Uncle Worthless's overall ranking was higher than Sasaki Akira, so this result was not too surprising.
But!
Hiss!
A sword hum broke the stalemate.
A flash of light from the sword started another unknown battle.
Who would have thought that Sasaki Akira's' body ', which was lying on the ground, could still move!
A man whose neck had been broken, not only did he not die, he was still lying on the ground. Suddenly, he used his cold sword to cut Uncle Worthless's left knee from the bottom up.
Then, Sasaki Akira used a strange movement that looked like a zombie's mechanical dance to stand up. He tilted his head and got into a fighting stance.
