The Eastern Dragon Goddess

The Spring Match (4)

Xu Lian retreated a few steps as this masked man walked towards him until he was a few meters away.

Zhang Xiuhuan extended his hand to Xu Lian.

"My name is Zhang Xiuhuan, nice to meet you in person" Xu Lian frowned in surprise. Hesitantly Xu Lian returned Zhang Xiuhuan's hand.

"My name is Xu Lian, but who are you in the palace area" Xu Lian immediately withdrew his hand.

"Hmm I'm a swordsman"

"Hah I also know you're a swordsman! but why are you in the palace area" Xu Lian said furiously.

"Your side" Zhang Xiuhuan said casually.

"You're crazy" Xu Lian who couldn't stand Zhang Xiuhuan's attitude turned his body to return to his pavilion.

Brugggh...

Xu Lian accidentally stepped on the stone before him so he fell to the ground.

"Hey are you okay? why did you fall didn't tell me I could catch you!" Pete who had been watching the drama before him started to grow furious with Zhang Xiuhuan's attitude, but Pete could feel Xu Lian's unusual aura.

"This girl isn't an ordinary girl apparently" Pete thought.

"Xiuxiu just tell her straight away if you like her" Pete said.

"I don't need your help" Xu Lian woke up from the fall.

"Shut up!!" zhang Xiuhuan shouted to Pete.

"Have you asked and I just answered!" Xu Lian left Zhang Xiuhuan with an annoyed face.

"Heyy I mean, not to you!"

"Already Xiuxiu let him go"

"You're a demon, because of you I lost him" Zhang Xiuhuan said furiously.

"I am indeed a demon, but Xiuxiu that girl is no ordinary girl" Zhang Xiuhuan was surprised by Pete's remark.

"What do you mean that she's no ordinary girl" Zhang Xiuhuan frowned.

"He has a seal"

"Seals?"

"Have I explained later, now we must leave this palace!" Zhang Xiuhuan left the palace.

The palace hall of Wei began to be crowded again by the citizens who wanted to watch the spring match, as well as the emperors and sect elders.

"Xu Kong I want to talk to you for a minute!" tho Zou said as he sat beside Xu Kong.

"You want to talk about what old grandfather is" Xu Kong had indeed been friends with Tho Zou for a long time, so they never called each other by the name of the post.

"Where did your son learn martial arts? just this first time I saw the moves he used?" Xu Kong was speechless at Tho Zou's question, not knowing where Xu Lian had learned martial arts.

"Honored attendees, let's look back at the second round of spring matches" Xiao Tian shouted with the help of his inner strength and was met with applause from the spectators.

Now the audience is more crowded than yesterday, because the participants who lost yesterday also watched the game.

Xu Lian came to the last hall of the participants in plain red top and bottom clothes with hair curled up, and also he carried a sword on his back with a sword sheath in deep red and so was the grip of a red sword with a fire carving decoration.

"Now in the second round, now, the participants will fight one-on-one with the rules all participants can use any type of weapon and to determine the winner of one of the participants must be able to remove his opponent from the stage. So anyone who still stands on stage will be the winner" said Xiao Tian explained the match in the second round.

"The first participants to advance were Xu Yong of the Wei kingdom and Tao Shing of the Cloud Valley Sect" Xu Yong and Tao Shing who heard their names being called immediately went up on stage.

Xiao Tian got off the stage when Xu Yong and Tao Shing were already on stage. Xu Yong and Tao Shing bowed to each other to pay respect to each other. Xu Yong took out his sword which was quite large from his usual sword with a silver-colored sword handle with a diamond stone as his decoration, likewise, Tao Shing pulled out his sword that was slung on his waist with a deep purple handle with abstract carvings.

Tao Shing started his match by first attacking Xu Yong, Tao Shing jumped up and attacked Xu Yong, easily Xu Yong resisted Tao Shing's attacks and counterattacked Tao Shing. Tao Shing leaped towards the right several leaps to avoid the attack from Xu Yong. Xu Yong began to bark his sword with his inner strength and came out a red light, Tao Shing also did not stay still he also yanked his sword with his inner strength and came out a white light.

Xu Yong attacked Tao Shing with his sword and a huge burst of fire charged towards Tao Shing, Tao Shing who realized the threat immediately made a protector for his body by using the water coming out of his sword.

Duaarr....

Xu yong's fire made a thick plume of smoke as it struck the Tao Shing's protector.

"Damn I can't see anything" said Tao Shing.

Xu Yong took advantage of the circumstances he began to attack Tao Shing with the help of his smell and hearing. Tao Shing who was still unfocused with the mist that was everywhere was unaware of the attack from Xu Yong.

*sreett....

"Argghbw*.." Tao Shing growled in pain as his back hurt deep enough due to Xu Yong's attack. The surrounding fog started to fade and Tao Shing could see the surroundings but unexpectedly Xu Yong would attack him again.

*Trenches....

Wrengr*....

Tao Shing began to be cornered with Xu Yong's attacks that were getting faster and also his body had quite severe injuries.

Xu Yong continued to attack Tao Shing so that Tao Shing's body slowly retreated backwards. Xu Yong had indeed planned this from the start he would continue to attack Tao Shing in order for him to come off the stage.

Tao Shing who was too focused on resisting Xu Yong's attacks did not realize that he was in the corner of the stage.

Bruggh....

Tao Shing who lost his balance fell off the stage.

"The winner is Xu Yong of the Wei kingdom" Xiao Tian shouted and was met with a standing ovation from the crowd.

Xu Lian stared at the large tree beside the courtyard of the hall, he snorted in annoyance when he found out the masked man was on top of the big tree.

Zhang Xiuhuan waved his hand as Xu Lian stared towards.

"A funny girl" Zhang Xiuhuan said with a soft laugh.

"But you have to be careful with that girl don't get too close to her" Pete starts to worry about Xhang Xiuhuan trying to get close to the girl he thinks is very dangerous.

"It's interesting" Zhang Xiuhuan grew interested in Xu Lian who he actually didn't care what Pete explained yesterday about Xu Lian. Because Zhang Xiuhuan would protect Xu Lian no matter what.
