After Kurokawa Shota defeated Ito Badasai, he became a favorite to win the championship.
The audience was cheering.
In the next few games, Shoto Kurokawa was far less prominent than the highlights. Even if Kenshin Uchimura, Sakura Miyamoto and others came on the court, the opponents they met were all very different and they were easily defeated.
The twelfth game.
Tachiha Haruko VS Miyazaki Kojiro.
Seeing the name appear on the screen, Haruko Tachiha got up.
Miyazaki Kojiro is also a dark horse this year. When he first participated in the competition, he defeated the No. 17 seed and entered the knockout round.
Haruko Tachiha was even darker and defeated the No. 10 seed Kato Shiichi.
So it is equivalent to a duel between two dark horses. In addition, Haruko Tachiha is the only girl except Sakura Miyamoto, and her popularity is high, so as soon as she appears, the atmosphere becomes warm.
After Miyazaki Kojiro came on stage, his whole body was tense. He did not dare to neglect Haruko, who was younger than him.
when!
With the referee's order, the two of them took action almost at the same time.
But Haruko's sword was faster and more bizarre, and it directly passed through the opponent's sword shadow and stabbed it in the opponent's hands.
Bang!
Miyazaki Kojiro's sword landed.
Snap instantly!
I saw instant kill again!
The audience cheered. Compared to Sakura Miyamoto, a girl like Haruko, who was born in a civilian family, actually made it to the top 16 and crushed her opponents every game, as if she was more like a legend.
Kurokawa Tokuro narrowed his eyes.
He is a swordsman with a natural and sharp look. Compared to the videos of Haruko's game yesterday that I have watched, Haruko today seems to give him a stronger feeling than yesterday. Even if he is just a flash kill, that feeling cannot be hidden from him.
"How is it possible, what progress can be made in one night?"
After four games.
The quarterfinals of sixteen knockouts ended.
The top 16 was born.
All the sixteen people eliminated left the field, leaving the waiting area empty all at once.
However, the atmosphere in the audience became more and more intense, because the more intense quarter-finals match was about to begin soon.
There were only ten minutes between them.
The old man took the stage again and the quarterfinals officially began.
The competition system is the same as before, and it is still randomly selected by computers.
The first game, Shangquan Jianxin VS Kuroki Hiro.
As soon as he came up, he was the top seed in the last session, while Kuroki Hiroshi was the sixth seed, which detonated at the beginning.
When the two of them took the stage, Kuroki Hong started the battle and was a decisive kill. However, Shangquan Jianxin was very stable. No matter how Kuroki Hong attacked, Shangquan Jianxin was like a rock and unshakable. At the moment when Kuroki Hong's offensive declined, Shangquan Jianxin stabbed with a sword.
Defeated Kuroki Hiro directly.
The result was not surprising. The number one seed was indeed the number one seed. Everyone even saw that Shangquan Jianxin did not use much force.
Game 2, Game 3...
In the fourth game, Haruko Tachibana vs. Masato Sakai.
Seeing this draw, many people cheered for Haruko Tachiha, because Masato Sakai is the top 16 and is ranked low, and his strength is not outstanding. It is just that he has good luck in the first round of knockouts that he can stay until now.
After taking the stage, Haruko really easily defeated Sakai Masato and entered the quarterfinals.
In the fifth game, Kurokawa Shota vs. Mitsushima Hiroshima. Although Mitsushima Hiroshima Hiroshima Hiroshima was eighth in the last session, seeing that his opponent was Mitsushima Hiroshima Hiroshima, his face looked extremely ugly and he had no confidence at all. Mitsushima Hiroshima did not use his sword energy to release it, and easily defeated Mitsushima Hiroshima.
After coming down, Kurokawa Shota walked past Haruko and said lightly: "You are lucky. I hope you will have such good luck in the next round."
Long said lightly: "I think you are lucky."
Kurokawa Shota's face turned cold. He is lucky?
What does it mean? He defeated the second seed Ito Badaozhai and entered the quarterfinals. Even in this round, Mitsushima Hiroshima was far stronger than the two Haruko defeated.
"Who are you? Is there any part of your conversation here?" Kurokawa Shota, in fact, had seen the guy next to Haruko who was suspected of being excrement, almost inseparable from Haruko.
Originally, he didn't take such an unknown person seriously, but this guy actually took the initiative to provoke him.
"Did no one think you are annoyed? No one wants to pay attention to you, and he keeps running to him to see him." Long Pingtan said.
"Baga, who do you think you are talking to?" Kurokawa Shoto was furious and his sword burst out all over his body.
"Kurikawa!" Haruko suddenly stepped forward and stared at him coldly: "If you want to duel, we will go to the ring."
"What are you doing? Don't argue and fight here. Violators will be disqualified from participating immediately." The maintenance personnel next to the war zone will come immediately.
Kurokawa suppressed his anger and said coldly to Long: "The coward who only hides behind women."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The next three games ended and the quarterfinals were born.
After the quarterfinals, I rested for ten minutes.
The semi-finals begin.
At this time, the atmosphere became more and more tense.
If you can reach the quarterfinals, it is almost impossible for you to have a weak person. It is impossible to get to this point by luck alone. Even if Haruko defeated the opponents in two rounds are not high, no one will regard Haruko as a vase.
There are only four battles in the semi-finals, each of which is thrilling and attracting much attention.
In the first game, Sakura Miyamoto vs Takao Sasaki.
As the third seed of the competition, Sasaki is the strongest genius of the Miyamoto family. You can imagine how much attention this battle has attracted.
What's more, the two families have a feud.
On the ring, Sasaki Takano roared and slashed out with a sword. The wooden sword seemed to have grown apart and swept across the entire ring. It was the most powerful sword move of the Sasaki family - Yan Hui.
It is rumored that this move was created by the legendary sword saint of the Sasaki family, Sasaki Kojiro, who slashed out with one sword, and even the flying swallows in the sky could not escape his sharp sword, one slashed into two.
Although Sasaki Takao is far less powerful than his ancestors and cannot kill Feiyan with one sword, it is still easy to cover the entire arena with one sword, and Sakura Miyamoto has no room for dodging.
However, Sakura Miyamoto had no intention of avoiding it. She used her sword to slash out a terrible sword energy. Crack, Sasaki Takano's sword broke directly, and the whole person was almost split and fell under the ring, blood flowing.
The entire Kendo Hall was shocked.
Sakura Miyamoto is too powerful. Sasaki, the third seed, actually killed instantly, and almost torture.
Sasaki Kojiro died at the hands of Miyamoto Musashi in the duel, but now Sasaki Takao seems to have followed in the footsteps of his ancestors.
The people from the Sasaki family were frightened and almost rushed to the ring.
In the end, the Sword Saint Palace was under pressure and could only carry Sasaki Takao away. Miyamoto's strength and ruthlessness also made countless people feel trembling. Although they were injured in the game, this was the first time that they almost killed.
Even Shota Kurokawa's eyes trembled.
Kurokawa Tokuro frowned and said, "If you meet her in the final and give up, you are not her opponent. She is originally from the Sword Saint Palace, so as long as you get the runner-up, you are qualified to enter the Sword Saint Palace."
Tachiha Haruko appeared on stage with a calm expression, and on the other side, Shota Kurokawa also stepped onto the stage.
The two sides met, and Shota Kurokawa smiled faintly and said, "Haruko Tachiha, why not make a bet. If I win this game, you can join our Kurokawa family."
Haruko Tachiha didn't want to pay attention to him, but suddenly a sound rang out in her head.
Tachiha Haruko's face changed slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Long in the audience. She pursed her lips, turned her head, and looked at Shota Kurokawa.
"What if you lose."
"I lost? Hahaha..." Kurokawa Sho laughed too much. He just said casually and deliberately spent the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party took it seriously. He might lose?
Tachikawa Haruko suddenly shouted: "Kurikawa Shota, your Kurokawa family took over my Tachikawa family's dojo back then. Since you want to bet, then we will have a bet battle in front of 20,000 people present. If you lose, you will return the Kurokawa family's dojo to our Tachikawa family. I lose, and I will be your Kurokawa family's slave."
"What?"
Haruko Tachiha was very loud and everyone in the audience heard it.
There was a sudden uproar.
No wonder the two families had a conflict just now. It turned out that there was such a grudge. Now, Haruko Tachibana actually wants to bet with Shota Kurokawa. Although this is a kendo competition, duel has always been a tradition in the kendo world.
Tachiha Haruko's bets were made such a big bet, and countless people shouted.
"Gambling war!"
"Gambling war!"
"Gambling war!"
Shota Kurokawa's eyes suddenly shrank. It was something he didn't expect that Haruko Tachibana dared to openly fight in such a public gambling battle. He had spoken casually, but the other party followed the flow and made such a big scene.
Now, he has been put on the rack.
If he didn't dare to connect with the enemy, he would probably be ridiculed by countless people in the Kendo world.
However, when he bet on the entire dojo, Shota Kurokawa was not qualified to make this decision. He subconsciously looked at Tokurokawa under the stage.
Kurokawa Tokuro frowned. Listening to the sound of gambling wars like tsunamis around him, he did not expect that the girl would be so decisive and dare to bet on herself. He was cautious in character, never fought inconclusive battles, and rarely took risks.
But now he is a swordsman, and the swordsman has a supreme status and is also a kind of restraint. If he does not allow the Kurokawa family to fight in this battle today, it will be a fatal blow to his reputation.
Looking at Shota, he nodded slowly. Shota would not lose this battle.
Kurokawa Shota got his father's approval, turned his head and looked at Haruko Tachiha with a trace of evil in his eyes: "Since you want to be a slave of my Kurokawa family, how can I not satisfy you? Don't worry, as the master, I will definitely love you very much."
There was a booing sound from the audience.
After all, Haruko is the beautiful Kendo girl who is second only to Sakura Miyamoto.
Thinking of the scene where she was enslaved by Shota Kurokawa, many men were both jealous and angry.
"Haruko!" Tachibana Yukimura also shouted nervously at the ring.
Although he was not confident in Haruko, this kind of gambling war would cost Haruko the rest of his life, so how could he not be nervous?
"Father, believe me."
Haruko turned around and said firmly towards Tachikawa Yukimura.
At this time, the referee came on stage, walked between the two, and slowly said, "You really want to fight a bet?"
"yes!"
Both of them nodded.
"Okay, then I will announce in the name of the Sword Saint Palace that your duel will begin!" The referee shouted in a deep voice.
The referee quickly withdrew from the ring.
Almost at the same time, both of them moved, and Kurokawa Shota's sword burst out, like a sharp sword unsheathed. The sword was amazing, and everyone shouted softly. It turned out that Kurokawa Shota had retained it just now.
This is his real strength.
boom!
The sword light slashed down, but Haruko Rika's face remained unchanged. She picked her with one sword and her momentum was far less violent than Shota Kurokawa. However, this sword, the wonderful tip was pointed at the point of Shota Kurokawa's wooden sword.
It seemed like a snake was hit seven inches, and Shota Kurokawa's hand numbed and his sword force was immediately broken.
Haruko stabbed forward with the flow.
Shota Kurokawa's face changed slightly, and he quickly took a step back. Haruko's sword followed him like a maggot, causing Queen Sudokuwa's back to burst into cold sweat.
Now he finally knew what it would be like to face Haruko's sword. He had no energy, but was like a spider spitting silk, making you tie your hands and feet. He could only struggle desperately, but he fell deeper and deeper.
Shota Kurokawa was forced into a corner by Haruko's series of attacks.
Just like Kazuya Takahashi in the last game, I took another step and fell off the ring.
Everyone cheered for Haruko.
Shota Kurokawa suddenly burst into light, and a roar was shaking, and a sword was opened, and a transparent sword energy rippled out, Haruko raised his sword to block it.
Click!
The wooden sword broke, and Haruko was also blasted by the sword energy and retreated directly from the end of the ring to the other end of the ring.
"Sword Qi!"
"Kurogawa has taken a killer move."
"Now, Haruko is over. My goddess is going to become a toy for this bastard Kurokawa."
Many people saw Haruko's sword being cut off by Kurokawa, and they all looked mournful.
Shota Kurokawa let out a breath, and using sword energy consumed a lot of money, so he rarely used it. Unexpectedly, less than a minute after the war started, Haruko was forced to use sword energy.
He raised his head and stared at Haruko who was standing on the other end of the ring, with a hint of hideousness in his eyes: "What are you fighting with me now?"
The sword is the life of a swordsman. A swordsman without a sword cannot even exert half of his strength.
Haruko looked at the half-broken sword in her hand and suddenly threw it to the ground.
After being slightly stunned, Kurokawa Shota laughed and said, "I gave up resisting. It's good. For your sake, I will treat you lighter tonight, hahahahaha."
On the other side, the referee also shook his head. It's a pity. In fact, Haruko's kendo is very clever, surpassing Kurokawa Shota. Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, skills alone cannot do it.
Just as he was about to come on stage and announce the results.
Haruko slowly raised one palm, made a starting position, and said lightly: "Who said it's over!"
Then she took a step forward and waved her right palm violently.
boom!
A green sword energy burst out from her right palm. Kurokawa Shota's eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously raised his sword and roared, bang!
The green sword energy slashed on the Kurokawa Shota wooden sword, easily cutting off his wooden sword, and the sword energy did not seem to weaken much, and slashed on the Kurokawa Shota's protective gear.
Shota Kurokawa seemed to be hit by a car and flew out more than ten meters. He rolled four or five times on the ground, lying down on his head, motionless.
