Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Chapter 211 The Competition Begins

The match between Zhang Jianyun and Zhao Zhu attracted a lot of attention. People were eager to know if Zhang Jianyun was truly invincible at the Qixia Mountain Boxing Stadium. In fact, more people bet on Zhang Jianyun to win than on his opponent.

According to Han Jiaqi's investigation, 9200 people bet on Zhang Jianyun to win this match, and 7600 people bet on Zhao Zhu to win.

Although more people believe Zhang Jianyun will win the game, 7600 people are optimistic about Zhao Zhu, which is enough to garner a large amount of hostility.

After the referee explained the rules to each of the two players, he blew the whistle, and the match began.

"Luo Yue, please enlighten me."

"Zhao Zhu, please give me your guidance."

After Zhao Zhu finished speaking, he immediately made a snake-shaped attack gesture, which looked somewhat fierce.

"Well done! Zhao Zhu used his signature Snake Venom Fist right from the start. That's how it should be, not giving Luo Yue a chance."

"Haha, luckily I bet on Zhao Zhu this time. I was originally thinking of betting on Luo Yue. This Zhao Zhu is ruthless; he used a killer move right from the start."

"As expected, Zhao Zhu is still my type. I can't compete with someone like Luo Yue. I should use ruthless tactics from the start."

Those who bet on Zhao Zhu to win were overjoyed when they saw the gesture Zhao Zhu made.

Hearing the whispers around them, Han Jiaqi and the other girls' eyes dimmed, their hearts sinking for Zhang Jianyun.

hiss!

After observing for a while, Zhao Zhu took the initiative to attack, using a snake-shaped fist technique to strike Zhang Jianyun's throat.

Seeing that Zhao Zhu's first move was filled with powerful killing intent, Zhang Jianyun's eyes turned cold, and he was no longer willing to give the other party any face.

call out!

Zhang Jianyun dodged Zhao Zhu's attack with a quick movement.

hiss--

Zhao Zhu unleashed two consecutive snake-shaped punches at Zhang Jianyun's throat, giving Zhang Jianyun no chance to catch his breath.

Zhang Jianyun had never fought Zhao Zhu before, nor had he watched Zhao Zhu's matches. He didn't know if Zhao Zhu had any fierce combos following this move, so he didn't engage with Zhao Zhu's attack and just kept dodging.

Hiss--

Seeing that Zhang Jianyun did not respond, Zhao Zhu's confidence soared. He thought that Zhang Jianyun had been intimidated by him, so he attacked even more fiercely and began to change his moves.

"Hit him hard, knock him right off the boxing ring."

"Hurry up and attack Luo Yue. I want to see him in a sorry state."

"Damn it, after losing so many matches to Luo Yue, we're finally going to win one! Haha!"

Those who bet on Zhao Zhuying were incredibly excited when they saw the situation on stage.

"Brother Yue, are you really going to lose? Oh, my little money," Zhu Jie said sadly.

"If Brother Yue loses, my little money will be gone too." Tao Xinxin was also a little sad.

"It's only just begun, the competition isn't even over yet, what are you all so upset about?" Qin Yun seemed more carefree and indifferent.

"Your family is well-off, so you only bet 1 yuan. It's no big deal if you lose. But it's different for me and Xin Xin," Zhu Jie said, pursing her lips.

"No one forced you to bet on Luo Yue to win, did they?" Qin Yun retorted.

"Alright, alright, the competition has only just begun. Brother Yue is already heading to the capital. If he can't even beat Zhao Zhu, what's the point of him going to Xuezhou City or the Illusion Dragon Martial Arts Arena?" Han Jiaqi said helplessly.

"That's true. Brother Yue went directly to the capital because he had no rivals here. Yes, we should all trust Brother Yue," Tao Xinxin said firmly.

Snapped!

Just then, after observing Zhao Zhu's series of attack moves, Zhang Jianyun felt that he was nothing special and not as powerful or fierce as he had imagined. So he directly threw a straight punch at Zhao Zhu's snake-shaped hand.

With a loud crack, both of them were thrown backward.

Zhang Jianyun was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Zhao Zhu to be so strong, far surpassing Liu Guang's strength.

Zhao Zhu was also shocked. He did not expect that Zhang Jianyun could actually withstand his snake-shaped hand. This made him somewhat devastated. If the opponent could withstand his attack, how could he fight back?

Both stood still, silently looking at each other.

"What the hell? Keep fighting! How come you're all dumbfounded after just one exchange?"

"What's wrong? Why aren't they moving? Hurry up and fight! I'm waiting to see what happens."

"Hurry up and fight! I don't care who wins, the key is that the scene must be bloody."

In an instant, the crowd began to stir.

Provoked by the crowd, Zhao Zhu gritted his teeth and suddenly swung his fist at Zhang Jianyun.

Bang bang bang!

clap clap clap!

Whoohoo!

shhhhhh!

Ee-ee-ee!

Hahaha!

The scene became intense, but both of them held back their strength, and Zhao Zhu did not launch an attack with all his might as he had at the beginning.

So the situation became more interesting, with the two fighting evenly and going head-to-head.

"Good, that's great, let's fight like this."

"That was amazing! That's what a boxer should be like."

"Zhao Zhu certainly didn't disappoint me; he truly is the number one boxer at Qixia Mountain!"

People began to cheer for Zhang Jianyun and Zhao Zhu, feeling that both of them were playing the game seriously and were not throwing it.

"Brother Luo Yue really didn't disappoint us. He must have been testing Zhao Zhu earlier," Tao Xinxin said excitedly.

"That's right, Brother Luo Yue must have been testing him by showing his weakness, and now he's revealing his true strength." Zhu Jie was also very happy and kept cheering for Zhang Jianyun.

"Don't be too happy yet. Zhao Zhu is clearly not as strong as he was at the beginning," Qin Yun said, pouring cold water on their enthusiasm.

"Tch, as if you're the only smart one." Zhu Jie glanced at Qin Yun with dissatisfaction.

Han Jiaqi remained quiet throughout the entire match. She firmly believed that Zhang Jianyun would win, and she had bet all 32 yuan of her cash on him.

The crowd's emotions continued to rise, with cheers and shouts growing louder and louder, attracting even more people to watch the fight. Those who hadn't placed bets on the match also gathered around to watch Zhang Jianyun and Zhao Zhu fight.

Bang bang bang!

The two exchanged blows, their muscles clashing, sweat pouring down their faces, their killing intent palpable, their fighting spirit surging.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Zhao Zhu take a match this seriously. Is the newcomer Luo Yue really that strong?"

"Zhao Zhu fought so fiercely and decisively! I feel like I'm seeing the Zhao Zhu who had just gained a foothold in this boxing ring after a series of dangerous battles!"

"Why do I always say that Zhao Zhu is the number one underground boxer in Qixia Mountain? Because when Zhao Zhu gets serious, he is so admirable and respectable. A boxer should fight like him in the ring!"

New onlookers kept praising Zhao Zhu and cheering for him.

Of course, many people who were attracted to Zhang Jianyun also looked at him with new respect.

"I've always thought that the newcomer Luo Yue was throwing the match, even after he defeated Liu Guang. But today, after seeing his fight with Zhao Zhu, I've changed my mind. He's a true powerhouse."

"Luo Yue is probably the number one boxer in the Qixia Mountain underground boxing ring. I feel that he has not yet shown his full potential."

"Luo Yue is terrifying! A newcomer, yet he managed to bring Zhao Zhu to this state!"

Those who previously believed that Zhang Jianyun was throwing the match and had ulterior motives are beginning to change their views on him.

"It seems the boxing ring management really underestimated Luo Yue's strength. Who would have thought this newcomer had the ability to compete for the title of Qixia Mountain's number one fighter? Who could have predicted that?"

"I think this newcomer, Luo Yue, probably didn't expect himself to be this strong, or rather, he didn't expect the boxers in the Qixia Mountain underground boxing arena to be so weak. I think with his strength, he could even compete for the title of the strongest boxer in the history of the Qixia Mountain underground boxing arena!"

"I am truly in awe of Luo Yue's strength. I am ashamed of my previous words that slandered him."

Hearing these comments, Zhang Jianyun, standing in the boxing ring, panicked. "I'm not here to gain your respect, I'm here to reap your hostility. No, I can't let these people praise me anymore!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Jianyun decided to create an opening so that Zhao Zhu could strike him first.

Yes, he's ready to play the victim now, no longer taking the invincible, domineering approach he used to.

call out!

Zhang Jianyun dodged, pretending to dodge Zhao Zhu's attack.

hiss--

Zhao Zhu didn't suspect anything and launched a direct attack with a snake-shaped fist.

Snapped!

As usual, Zhang Jianyun took Zhao Zhu's punch head-on.

Their fists collided, and Zhang Jianyun was jolted backward, his body swaying.

Zhao Zhu was also forced back, but not as severely as Zhang Jianyun.

Seeing Zhang Jianyun retreat rapidly and lose his balance, Zhao Zhu was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly chased after him and threw a punch.

clap clap clap!

Zhao Zhu attacked repeatedly, but Zhang Jianyun blocked them all. This surprised Zhang Jianyun greatly. "I've held back so much power, and you still can't hit me?"

call out!

Snapped!

Zhang Jianyun landed a hook punch that changed direction and successfully struck Zhao Zhu, sending him flying to the ground!

Seeing this, Zhang Jianyun was furious. "Are you deliberately putting on an act for me?"

The referee quickly stopped Zhang Jianyun, then knelt on one knee in front of Zhao Zhu, who was lying on the ground, and began a 10-second countdown. Just as he counted to 8, Zhao Zhu stood up.

The audience who witnessed this scene gasped in shock, and looked at Zhang Jianyun with a newfound respect.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Zhang Jianyun was furious. Was this Zhao Zhu really that trash? Or was he just a piece of trash? He couldn't take a beating at all. Even if he couldn't take a beating, couldn't he at least act? I was going to let him beat me, then gain the upper hand and show off my power. And he couldn't even act like that?

Okay, what a piece of trash, I don't know how he's survived in this Qixia Mountain boxing ring until now, and he even has the nerve to claim that he's the number one underground boxer in Qixia Mountain? He's shameless!

Garbage, rubbish!

Zhang Jianyun wished he could rush up and slap Zhao Zhu across the face a few times.

"I knew it! Brother Luo Yue is the best. Zhao Zhu is no match for him." Zhu Jie said happily, her eyes shining, as if she could already see the small amount of money she would win from betting.

"Brother Luo Yue is amazing! Even though Zhao Zhu looks so fierce, he's still no match for him," Tao Xinxin said, somewhat dazed.

"Brother Luo Yue is indeed amazing; Qixia Mountain really can't keep him here anymore," Qin Yun remarked.

Han Jiaqi looked at Zhang Jianyun quietly, her eyes filled with sweet happiness.

Zhao Zhu stood up, but he had unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

He and Zhang Jianyun had been fighting fiercely. Although both sides were holding back their strength, they were both using considerable power and were at least on the same wavelength.

Suddenly, Zhang Jianyun faltered, using less force. Before he could even figure out how to react, Zhang Jianyun unleashed a flurry of punches and knocked him down.

After standing up and catching his breath, Zhao Zhu regained his composure and then launched an attack on Zhang Jianyun.

Bang bang bang!

clap clap clap!

shhhhhh!

Whoohoo!

Ee-ee-ee!

Hahaha!

The two sides once again fought back and forth, evenly matched, locked in a fierce struggle, evenly matched, and seemingly evenly matched, like two equally matched opponents.

"Zhao Zhu must have been careless just now, otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated by Luo Yue."

"Luo Yue must have used some underhanded trick just now, otherwise he would never have been able to hit Zhao Zhu. That Luo Yue is really cunning."

"Go Zhao Zhu! Fight back and defeat Luo Yue too!"

Those who had placed bets on Zhao Zhu to win started shouting again, clamoring for Zhao Zhu to defeat Luo Yue.

Hearing these shouts, Zhao Zhu felt extremely bitter.

What kind of audience are you? Luo Yue is so easy to beat, why don't you guys come and fight him?

Hearing these shouts, Zhang Jianyun felt excited, as if he saw the hope of reaping hostility points.

Therefore, Zhang Jianyun began to withdraw his strength. In order to avoid the previous situation from happening again, he did not withdraw his strength all at once, but gradually withdrew his strength and guided Zhao Zhu's attack on him.

clap clap clap!

Bang bang bang!

shhhhhh!

Whoohoo!

Hahaha!

Ee-ee-ee!

After a series of attacks, to everyone's surprise, Zhao Zhu punched Zhang Jianyun in the abdomen, knocking Zhang Jianyun back into the net.

"Good, well done! Keep beating Luo Yue hard!"

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in cheers.

"Haha, well done, Zhao Zhu! This is your true strength, this is your true level."

"That's great! Finally, someone has taken down Luo Yue. Well done, Zhao Zhu. You've brought honor to us."

Zhao Zhu didn't expect to be able to defeat Zhang Jianyun, but since he had already knocked him away, he might as well strike while the iron was hot and finish him off. Zhao Zhu leaped up and threw a punch at Zhang Jianyun.

Seeing this, Tao Xinxin and the other girls were shocked and quickly closed their eyes, not daring to watch the game. Even Han Jiaqi, who had been calm all along, narrowed her eyes slightly, her heart pounding in her chest.

call out!

Faced with the punch, Zhang Jianyun dodged it immediately. He was willing to play the victim, but he wouldn't actually make himself look too bad.

Bang bang bang!

The two exchanged another fierce punch, the scene was extremely intense, and both of them were already drenched in sweat.

"Hit them! Hit them hard!"

"Zhao Zhu, quickly use your snake-like hand technique and beat Luo Yue hard!"

"Go, Zhao Zhu, knock Luo Yue to the ground!"

Bang bang bang!

Hoo hoo ha ha!

Eeeeeee whoosh whoosh!

After another exchange of punches, Zhang Jianyun once again created an opening, allowing Zhao Zhu to strike him and force him to retreat.

"Haha, well done! Beat him up like that!"

"Zhao Zhu, you're amazing! Teach this Luo Yue a lesson!"

"Luo Yue, you've finally met your match. You've run into a tough one, haven't you? Let's see how long you can keep jumping around like this."

Those who supported Zhao Zhu were extremely excited and their emotions were boiling.

"Why did Brother Luo Yue get hit again? What's going on?" Zhu Jie said with rare dissatisfaction.

"Is Brother Luo Yue running out of stamina? How come he kept getting beaten by Zhao Zhu?" Tao Xinxin asked, puzzled.

"Could it be that Brother Luo Yue changed his mind because of someone and doesn't want to go to Xuezhou City, so he wants to lose the competition?" Qin Yun said, glancing at Han Jiaqi.

Han Jiaqi frowned slightly. She and Zhang Jianyun didn't have any close relationship, and Zhang Jianyun would never give up going to Xuezhou City for her sake.
