Chapter 521 Semifinals

The entire Xiangping City is several times more prosperous than before, and the streets are full of people. From Shang Ji's wedding to now, Xiangping has developed at a speed that can be detected by the naked eye!

The number of players and aborigines applying for naturalization in Xiangping has increased exponentially. In the past few days, the tax revenue has increased explosively, returning part of the funds spent on the wedding.

The number of people watching the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament is increasing day by day. After Shang Ji made various restrictions, he still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the audience. Although Shang Ji didn't do things like collect tickets for the land enclosure, a good spectator position has already commanded sky-high prices.

Shang Ji had to send more troops to maintain order and avoid riots.

On the huge square in front of the City Lord's Mansion, two small and one large three brand new rings stand in the center of the square. In view of the predicament that the arenas could not withstand the ravages of the participating generals and were beaten to pieces, Shang Ji immediately made three new arenas with cold iron stone as the main raw material.

Today, on the three arenas, it will be contested who is the number one general in the world!

"Four strong men, please come forward and draw lots!" The little official in charge of drawing lots smiled and said to Huang Zhong and the others cautiously.

The four looked at each other, Huang Zhong smiled slightly, and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong first please!"

Zhao Yun did not refuse, and took a step forward to draw a lot from the box. Then without looking at it, he directly handed the lottery to another small official next to him.

The clerk respectfully accepted the signature, and checked it carefully with the other two clerks to confirm that it was correct. Solemnly took out a wooden board engraved with the names of the four people, and wrote a big "Y" under Zhao Yun's name.

Afterwards, the three drew lots, Huang Zhong's was "Ding", Xiahou Dun's was "C", and Wu Tugu's was "A".

The result of the lottery was announced to the outside world as soon as it came out. According to the new rules of the battle, it was immediately clear who the opponents were.

Xiahou Dun - Huang Zhong; Zhao Yun - Wu Tugu!

Xiahou Dun stared fixedly at the wooden board showing the results, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

According to his self-estimation, he was at the bottom of the semifinals, and if it wasn't for good luck, he wouldn't be eligible to enter the semifinals at all.

However, at their level, they will naturally not lose without a fight. Even if they know they are invincible, they must go forward bravely. This is Xiahou Dun's consistent character.

If he were to find an opponent he least wanted to face among the three,

That is Huang Zhong!

This is also the common wish of most top military generals, stronger than Zhao Yun and his like, Xiahou Dun knows that he is invincible, but he can roughly estimate the gap between the two.

Xiahou Dun is confident that he can survive two hundred moves in Zhao Yun's hands and it will be fine!

However, Huang Zhong is unpredictable. In Huang Zhong's previous battles, no matter whether the opponent was an ordinary super-class general or a top-level historical general, Huang Zhong always had a comfortable posture, and he could not tell his depth at all.

What's even more exaggerated is that Huang Zhong played against Guan Yu yesterday. In the end, Guan Yu was defeated by one move and directly surrendered. Although everyone knew clearly that the previous confrontation between the two was also part of the confrontation, the result was really astonishing. Huang Zhong's momentum soared and he became the most popular candidate to win the championship!

And according to Yiren's history, when Huang Zhong was seventy years old, he actually beheaded Xia Houyuan, his younger brother. This invisibly intensified Xiahou Dun's psychological pressure.

Now he would rather fight the brute force and invulnerable Wu Tugu than provoke Huang Zhong.

However, the opponent is determined by lottery. Once it is confirmed that no changes can be made, Xiahoudun can only bite the bullet and walk into the ring, waiting for the battle with Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong stepped forward slowly. Compared with the highly nervous Xiahou Dun, Huang Zhong had a calm expression, and he didn't even have the murderous aura and vigor of a top general. The most ordinary farmer will not be suspected.

The friendly Zhaoxiahou Dun smiled, and Huang Zhongwen said, "Please, General Xiahou, be merciful!"

"Don't dare, the prestige of General Huang, I dare not hold back!"

"Are the two generals ready?" Guo Biao was in charge of being the host of the ring. In this level of peak duel, the aftermath of the battle can kill ordinary generals, and ordinary officials can no longer serve as hosts.

Seeing that both of them nodded, Guo Biao yelled, "The match begins!"

"Whoosh!"

Before Guo Biao finished speaking, Xiahou Dun rushed towards Huang Zhong like a sharp arrow.

Yesterday's battle between Huang Zhong and Guan Yu was repeatedly studied by top experts from all walks of life. Although they don't know the specific details, they still see two clues.

Through previous records and descriptions of other people, it can be found that Guan Yu is best at using power. By accumulating momentum to oppress others, with a thunderous blow, in many cases it can even directly kill opponents with similar combat power or a small gap.

In yesterday's battle, Guan Yu must have wanted to repeat the old tricks, but he underestimated Huang Zhong. He didn't expect that Huang Zhong was also an expert in using power, even two points more skilled than Guan Yu.

The fight failed, and Guan Yu, who was backlashed, had no choice but to make a hasty move, but was killed by Huang Zhong with one move. He personally felt the aggrieved feeling of his opponents.

With the lessons learned from the past, Xiahoudun certainly did not dare to be careless. He attacked violently at the beginning to prevent Huang Zhong from gaining momentum.

Although the hope of winning is slim, Xiahou Dun will not give up!

"when!"

A crisp sound spread throughout the battlefield, like a signal, and the atmosphere on the scene exploded. Cheers and shouts resounded throughout Xiangping City.

"Ding ding ding..."

A series of rapid and intensive weapon clashes came to everyone's ears, and at the same time flames burst out between the two men's weapons, which added a bit of dazzling color to the battle.

Xiahou Dun's eyes were red and his face was flushed abnormally. The Tanlang knife in his hand danced densely with shadows, covering Huang Zhong directly. Huang Zhong only had the power to parry!

"Oh, General Yuan Rang has lost!"

After watching for a while, Xu Chu suddenly let out a sigh.

Cao Cao's face was calm, and he was speechless with Xia Houyuan. There are more than 20 top military generals present, even if the princes themselves have limited eyesight, can't the top generals be arranged?

Everyone could see that Xiahoudun was attacking furiously with a breath in his chest. Although he seemed to have the upper hand, he was actually at the end of his battle. If he couldn't defeat Huang Zhong before his breath was exhausted, then he could announce the release.

However, Huang Zhong seemed to be under pressure at this time and could only parry, but a real master could see his posture with ease, and Xiahou Dun's plan obviously failed.

Sure enough, another quarter of an hour later, Xiahou Dun, who was in the midst of a mad attack, suddenly jumped back a few feet and shouted, "General Huang is brave, I'm willing to bow down!"

After speaking, his face turned gray and white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his figure swayed three times, obviously showing symptoms of loss of strength.

Huang Zhong, who was about to fight back, smiled dumbly, and cupped his hands and said, "Concession!"

This time Xiahou Dun played his abacus very well, and if he performed well in front of the world, everyone would be happy to be able to defeat Huang Zhong by chance.

Although this was a small trick, it was still more decent than Guan Yu's one-shot defeat.

"Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, captains of Yu Sheng under the command of Lord Mushang of Pingzhou, won the victory!"

Seeing Xiahoudun admitting defeat, Guo Biao immediately shouted to inform everyone of the result of the duel.

Shocking cheers immediately erupted from the crowd, cheering for Huang Zhong.

On the other side, the battle between Zhao Yun and Wu Tugu has also entered a fierce stage.

To everyone's surprise, the battle between Zhao Yun and Wu Tugu turned out to be a head-to-head confrontation, instead of relying on superb martial arts and strong real energy to win as Lu Bu said.

Compared with the millennium-old cold iron stick in Wu Tugu's hand, the gentian gun is like a toy, but it is such an inconspicuous toy, it is hard against Wu Tugu's iron and wood giant stick, and it does not lose the wind at all!

"Hiss... Zhao Zilong is so strong?"

On the viewing platform, Yuan Shu couldn't help exclaiming. The power of Wu Tugu is common in the world, Dian Wei Zhang Fei head-to-head confrontation with him is acceptable to everyone, but Zhao Yun, who looks like a two-point thin general, confronts Wu Tugu in terms of strength, everyone is a little bit Can't accept it!

"Brother Gonglu missed his mark. Zhao Yun is still good at martial arts. Unexpectedly, after parting for only half a year, Zilong's martial arts has improved again. He is really worthy of the name of gun god!"

As an authoritative expert in martial arts, Lu Bu immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Oh? How do you say this? Brother Lu, please explain to us!"

"The distance is too far, and everyone has poor eyesight, so you can't see the reality. Although General Zilong is fighting against Wu Tugu with every blow, in fact, it is Zilong who uses exceptionally brilliant force skills to make the spear The blade vibrates at high speed, and the brute force of the protruding bones is removed layer by layer, and Zilong is really responsible for only a very small part of it! I thought I was the only one to control such brilliant skills, but who knows that there is still Zilong. Not alone!"

Lu Bu laughed loudly after finishing speaking, took the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp, not caring the prince's gloomy expression at all.

On the contrary, Gongsun Zan asked with great interest, "Based on what General Lu has seen, does General Zilong have a good chance of winning if he fights like this?"

"Hahaha, I have already said that the barbarian is no match for Zilong. Within a quarter of an hour, the barbarian will definitely be defeated!"

As if to verify what Lu Bu said, Wu Tu bone on the ring unbelievingly raised his stick again, and Zhao Yun waved his spear to meet him without the slightest timidity.

The gentian gun was precisely pointed on the giant stick, and Wu Tugu felt a slight numbness in the palm of his hand, and suddenly a soreness and numbness came from the internal organs, and his hands and feet immediately became weak, and the giant stick that he used to drive like an arm felt heavy. If Mount Tai.

"Boom..." With a loud noise, the thousand-year-old iron wood fell on the ring, throwing out bits of stone chips.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Tugu's huge body fell to the ground like a golden mountain and jade pillars, unable to even move a little finger!

"Admit defeat, we admit defeat!"

The Yanhuang Sharp Blade on the stand suddenly panicked and shouted wildly.

"Pingzhou Mushanggong's Zhenwei Captain Zhao Yun and General Zhao Zilong won!"

As Yanhuang Sharp Blade surrendered on behalf of Wu Tugu, Su Huan immediately announced loudly.

Yanhuang Sharpen ignored the applause all over the sky, and together with several representatives of Yanhuang, rushed to the top of the ring to check the situation of Wutugu.

"Don't worry, it's just a slight damage to the internal organs. Go back to recuperate and take some nourishing medicine. With the physique of General Wutugu, he will be cured within three days!"

Zhao Yun said to Yanhuang Liren and the others with a gentle face.

"Thank you, General Zhao, for your mercy!"

Knowing that Wu Tugu was fine, Yanhuang Liren heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and thanked Zhao Yun.
