Chapter 659: Chapter 275: The Stunning Sword Puppet, Vindication, Cloud Dragon Army (Part 3)
Although this strike was powerful, Xia Chuan knew deep down that it wasnât much of a threat to Yuwen Dao, it couldnât decide the outcome with just one blow.
"Ah!"
Just as he expected, Yuwen Dao didnât turn to dodge this strike but instead roared and pressed forward, forcing the Sword Puppetâs right leg blade into the ground, even making it completely sink into the earth.
Crack...
The Sword Puppet knelt down, and the already taut threads suddenly snapped back. Xia Chuan heard a crack from his finger bones, and his expression changed drastically.
Bam!
Despite the shock on his face, Xia Chuanâs Black Blade still struck Yuwen Daoâs back.
However, Yuwen Dao also had a Superior Battle Body.
This blow, which Xia Chuan didnât use his full strength on, didnât break his skin membrane, and didnât even fully crush his body.
"Minister, please forgive me!"
Yuwen Dao roared, withdrew the broadsword pressing down the Sword Puppet, and suddenly turned around to slash at Xia Chuanâs chest.
"The real target is still Xia Chuan!"
Not only Xia Hong, but all the Cold Resistance Level observers on the scene saw the intention.
Yuwen Daoâs target from beginning to end was Xia Chuan.
The concentrated attacks on the Sword Puppet, pressing down its right leg blade, were all to lure Xia Chuan closer.
Taking the blow on his back and swinging back with the broadsword was Yuwen Daoâs real aim.
His timing was nothing short of astonishing!
"This is an innate combat instinct, unrelated to talent, something that canât even be trained, Yuwen Dao is a born combat master. This isnât a life-and-death battle, otherwise Xia Chuan might really..."
Before Xia Hong could finish his thoughts, the following scene completely changed his mind, and his gaze towards Xia Chuan changed instantly.
Sss...
The threads were retracting too quickly, creating a sharp hissing sound as they rubbed against the air.
Shushushushu...
The Sword Puppet began to shake rapidly, and the ground around its right leg erupted with dust and gravel flying.
The whole ground was uplifted in the midst of flying dust and stones.
Bam... Bam... Bam...
"The right leg blade of the Sword Puppet is spinning!"
"So fast, itâs opened with edges on all four sides, thatâs why the ground got plowed open."
"The Sword Puppet doesnât need to stand up; it can attack directly from the ground."
.........
Whoosh!
Just as those behind Xia Hong discussed, the Sword Puppetâs shaking was due to its right leg buried in the ground starting to spin rapidly.
The already four-edged blades, by spinning, directly overturned the ground and even attacked towards Yuwen Daoâs back.
Yuwen Dao, swinging the broadsword horizontally, sensed the strike coming from behind but still refused to give up, continuing the slash towards Xia Chuanâs waist.
Slosh...
Xia Chuan couldnât break Yuwen Daoâs skin membrane because he wielded the sword single-handedly.
But Yuwen Daoâs sword was different; he used both hands, and it came after a circular swing for power.
The sword edge cut through his waist, and Xia Chuanâs lower abdomen immediately bled profusely.
This was the most serious injury in tonightâs combat match.
All the Cold Resistance Level spectatorsâ faces changed; they turned to look at Xia Hong ahead, and seeing his expressionless face, they relaxed.
Bam...
With his waist split open, Xia Chuanâs body was blasted away like a cannonball.
But he only flew over ten meters before stopping.
With his nearly EightéŹ strength, Xia Chuan shouldnât have been knocked only that far; he still had unbroken threads in his hands, what was he doing...
In Yuwen Daoâs mind, thoughts spun rapidly, his expression changed shockingly, and he fiercely drew his sword and turned.
But his speed was too slow.
Crack.....
The swiftly rotating right leg of the Sword Puppet first struck his broadsword, then its arms and left leg, with three rapidly spinning four-edged blades, all collided with his broadsword.
Bam!
The Sword Puppet was controlled by Xia Chuan, and the strength it could exert was at most Xia Chuanâs limit strength.
So Yuwen Dao gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength to hold the sword, and ended up blocking the force of the four blades.
But that was the limit!
The Sword Puppet lost its limbs, but it still had a head.
Though that head only had a mouth.
To be precise, a dark hole.
When the head of the Sword Puppet was close to his face.
Yuwen Daoâs expression froze instantly.
The Sword Puppet didnât move, but within that dark hole on its face seemed to hide something extremely dangerous. Just staring at it briefly, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Yuwen Daoâs forehead.
"Director Yuwen, you lost!"
A flash of unwillingness crossed Yuwen Daoâs face, instinctively gripping the broadsword tightly, but after hesitating for a moment, he released it.
"I lost!"
Xia Chuan, won.
The whole scene fell silent, Yuan Cheng, Qiu Peng, Lu Yang, Lin Kai, Luo Yuan, and other members of the old Great Xia, their faces were full of excitement and joy.
While Meng Yi, Hong Guang, Hong Tian, and others were slightly trembling.
Even Peng Bo, who just lost to Yuwen Dao, was now full of shock.
Unlike others, only Xia Hong stared at the dark hole on the Sword Puppetâs face, a hint of curiosity and speculation rising in his eyes.
"Inside there, it seems thereâs a retractable Yi Blade hidden, connected with the limb blades, the limb rotation grants it power..."
The victorious Xia Chuan treated his wound on the waist, and finally, without any expression, followed Yuwen Dao back.
He openly cast his gaze upon Hong Guang, Hong Tian, Meng Yi, Zhu Yuan, and others, with a questioning look in his eyes.
And after these people met his gaze, they all slightly lowered their heads.
"Minister, your skills are superior, and I wholeheartedly accept it!"
Yuwen Daoâs final acknowledgment made Xia Chuanâs position as Minister from today utterly rightful.
Xia Hongâs face also broke into a smile, laughed heartily, and said:
"Good, the Cold Resistance Level combat is over, it seems that the first army number of Great Xia is now decided."
Cloud Dragon Army!
Xia Chuan, along with Liu Yuan, were now the most excited people on the scene.
The Cloud Jiao Team was the first officially formed Hunting Team of Great Xia.
Such a significant event will surely be a grand highlight in Yue Fengâs history book of Great Xia, and as the team leader Xia Chuan, and vice leader Liu Yuan will share the honor.
