Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

With the referee's order, the game officially started.

Zhang Jianfeng flashed and instantly appeared in front of Xu Xueting. He shook the sword in his hand and used a move from the Huashan sword technique called "The Phoenix Comes".

The sword was majestic and gorgeous, and coupled with his graceful movements, it seemed particularly free and easy, causing screams from the girls in the audience.

However, facing Zhang Jianfeng's fierce attack, Xu Xueting was not in a hurry. A scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he snorted softly: "Flower fists and embroidered legs!" After that, he slightly tilted his body and lightly avoided Zhang Jianfeng's attack like a dancing butterfly.

At the same time, the sharp sword in his hand stabbed out like a poisonous snake, at an extremely fast speed, directly hitting Zhang Jianfeng's vital point.

Zhang Jianfeng was horrified and quickly swung his sword to block. However, Xu Xueting's swordsmanship was like a ghost, unpredictable and hard for him to defend himself.

With just one move, Xu Xueting pressed the tip of his sword against Zhang Jianfeng's throat, but at the moment when the tip of the sword touched the skin, the sword stopped, making him unable to move.

The whole audience was extremely shocked, and there was a brief silence. No one dared to believe their eyes, they could not accept this fact - the Huashan Sect's genius disciple could not even take a single move.

Zhang Jianfeng's face was pale, cold sweat ran down his forehead, and his heart was filled with humiliation and unwillingness. He looked at Xu Xueting with gritted teeth, but he could do nothing.

"I give up!" Zhang Jianfeng said this with difficulty, as if he had used up all his strength. After saying this, he turned and left the ring, leaving behind a lonely back.

"The second semi-final is over, and Xu Xueting from the Shenlong Sect has won." The Taoist referee announced.

"The third match is between Dao Ning of Goryeo and Ichiro Koizumi of Japan." As the referee announced, thunderous cheers broke out in the audience.

A man dressed in a green robe, as if he had integrated the freshness and tranquility of the mountains into it; his black hair shone slightly in the sun, like the twinkling stars in the night sky; his face was handsome and his eyes were deep, revealing a sense of indifference and calmness that transcended the world.

He is the young Taoist priest from Goryeo——Daoning.

He has an immortal look and his every move reveals an extraordinary temperament, as if he was an immortal walking out of an ancient scroll.

Below the ring, deafening cheers and screams rose and fell, resounding throughout the arena, as if they were about to break through the sky. Even Li Yun, who was sitting on the viewing stand, couldn't help but stand up and waved his arms towards Dao Ning, his face filled with joy.

However, in stark contrast to Daoning, Ichiro Koizumi received completely different treatment when he stepped into the ring.

He did not receive the same warm welcome and cheers as Dao Ning, but was greeted with boos. This situation reminds people of the past, when the Japanese brought great pain to Goryeo. Although it has been a while, people still remember that period of history, and many Goryeo people still hate it.

Those who were able to come to Changdeokgung to watch the competition had to undergo strict screening, and most of them were from officials or aristocratic families.

Since the Japanese emperor was present to watch the game in person, the spectators were explicitly told not to insult or attack the Japanese, otherwise they would be severely punished.

Therefore, although filled with dissatisfaction and anger, the Goryeo audience could only express their emotions by booing.

After entering Changdeok Palace, they had to respect King Sukjong's face, so they could not vent their anger directly on the Japanese.

In the square, the sunlight reflected the cold light of metal. Shouning and Koizumi Ichiro stood opposite each other, one holding a sharp sword, with a sturdy posture; the other holding a samurai sword, majestic. Their eyes met, revealing their respect for each other and their desire to fight.

The duel began. Dao Ning moved swiftly, wielding his sword in an unconventional way, attacking as fast as a flying swallow. Each of his swords contained the force of ten thousand pounds, and his swordsmanship was varied, with both offensive and defensive capabilities. The Japanese samurai swordsman was as steady as a mountain, with sharp swordsmanship, and each of his swords carried fearless determination and superb skills.

The swords collided, sparks flew, and the crisp sound of collision echoed in the air, as if two weapons were colliding and exchanging blows. The two sides fought back and forth, and the shadows of swords and the lights of knives intertwined into a breathtaking picture.

The audience held their breath, attracted by this wonderful duel. They felt the elegance and agility of Taoist swordsmanship, and also appreciated the ferocity and dominance of Japanese samurai swords.

In the fierce battle, both sides showed superb skills and tenacious fighting spirit. In the end, Daoning broke through the opponent's defense with a delicate sword move and won the victory.

After the game, the audience stood up and applauded and cheered excitedly.

They were very excited about this wonderful match and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The corners of Sukjong King Lee Sun's mouth on the stage slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile. Although the recent few days were an important moment for the coronation ceremony, many things were not going smoothly, which made him feel quite heavy.

However, Daoning's successful advancement to the finals undoubtedly brought him a sense of relief and joy.

Ling Zhao looked at Koizumi Ichiro with concern as he walked off the stage. The Japanese warrior bowed deeply to her to show his respect.

Ling Zhao whispered to the eunuch beside him, "Go and reward him with two bottles of Ryukyu Oqu! Tell him that it is not easy to make it to the semi-finals, and it is an honor to lose. I hope he will continue to work hard in the future and strive for better results!"

The eunuch nodded in agreement and left his seat quickly. Soon, he handed two bottles of Ryukyu Oquji to Koizumi Ichiro and conveyed the Emperor's words of encouragement.

As the semi-finals came to an end, the six top players received a precious gemstone as a reward. These gemstones sparkled brightly, representing their outstanding performance in this competition. Each gemstone was worth a lot of money, not only symbolizing honor, but also containing great wealth.

The final officially began. The rules were three people playing three games. The points were calculated. The team that won two games in a row would be the enemy team, the team that won one game would be the runner-up, the next best would be the third place, and those with the same points would have an extra game.

The first to fight were between Lu Siniang and Xu Xueting.

On the stage, the two stood facing each other.

"Little girl, you are no match for me. Just admit defeat and step down." Xu Xueting said.

"Senior, I know I am no match for you, but I still want to ask for your advice. I hope you will give me some advice!" Lu Siniang said.

"Okay, I'll help you!"

After that, the two began to fight. Lu Siniang still adopted the strategy of using the weak to defeat the strong. She did not engage in a head-on fight with the opponent. She used her unique body movement skill "A Hundred Changes of Divine Movement" to deal with Xu Xueting.
