Chapter 49 - 49. Match (1/2)
Third person POV
Xu Tingfeng always held a martial art duel every month, and this month was special, the last winner would fight him despite no one could win over him. 70 men and women line up based on their rate, there were 2 rate in the elite forces. 50 on the right side and 20 on the left side.
The rate that has the most member was second rate, because they were trained in an assassin guild ( Spider Lily), they used assassin's way of evaluation. The second rate soldiers were way weaker than the first rate soldiers, one first rate soldier could kill 15 second rate soldiers. The second rate elite forces were divided to 2 types. The first type is fighter, they majored in martial arts and strength. The second type is mage, they majored in magic.
Actually they could do both martial arts and magic but the fighter's martial arts was more advanced than the mage's and on the other side, the mage's magic was more powerful than the fighter's.
The rate that had the least member is first rate, they excelled both martial arts and magic. Most of the first rate soldiers were almost as strong as Xu Tingfeng. They were the best among the best in elite forces, that's why their number was very little.
One by one, they fought until they fell. They couldn't give up as Xu Tingfeng would immediately kick them out from the elite forces. Shu Huatuo was standing beside Xu Tingfeng, if there was any emergency, he would be able to treat them quicker.
After two hours of fighting between the second rate soldiers, there were 2 finales, it were Hong er and Ah Tong ( her shadow guard). They had to fight each other and decide who was the winner.
Hong er summoned her sword and on her fighting stance, meanwhile Ah Tong summoned his halberd and getting ready.
Xu Tingfeng: ” Ready, fight!”
Hong er immediately disappeared, Ah Tong was looking around before he swung his halberd to his back. ' Clang' He immediately swung his halberd to his left side ' Clang' and he spun around his halberd with his finger. The sound of metal clashing with each other sounded loudly on the training field which means the attacks were strong.
Every time Hong er's sword hit At Tong's halberd, his halberd would shook, his hands started to feel sore. As Hong er was more focused on agility, her movements were nimble. The on lookers hardly could see Hong er as she moves so fast.
Ah Tong: ' I have to attack!'
Hong er swiftly jumped up and swung her sword on his head. Ah Tong swung his halberd above his head, the attack this time was way stronger than the previous one. He fell on one knee but before his knee touched the ground, he swung his hand backwards and grabbed on Hong er's collar. Because of Hong er's small body size, he could easily swung Hong er's body to his front.
