Chapter 97 Fighting to the Death
Soon, Lulu also conducted a test on Junyan, as requested by the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty.
However, the test results were far beyond everyone's expectations—all indicators showed normal.
Lulu slightly raised her head, her gaze calm as still water, and said in a steady and clear voice, "The other party is perfectly normal."
To ensure absolute fairness and impartiality in this competition, Lulu did not delay at all and immediately conducted the same test on the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty.
The results showed that the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were also normal.
Once it was confirmed that neither player had used any banned substances, the hearts of everyone present, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down like a huge weight was lifted, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
In an instant, the Junchao side erupted into a deafening roar of cheers, like a pot of boiling water!
The cheers seemed to pierce the clouds and reach the heavens.
"Wow! We won! Our Jun Dynasty won!"
"That's fantastic! Seventh Prince is absolutely amazing, well done!"
"Oh my god! We actually won! I'm so moved I could cry!"
Junchao had lost two matches in a row. In this crucial and decisive third match, the Seventh Prince turned the tide and won back their dignity and honor. Only they themselves could truly understand the hardships and difficulties they had endured.
At this moment, even though it was just a small victory in a competition, it was enough to make them ecstatic.
After all, they had endured too much frustration and pressure before, and now, the emotions that had been building up in their hearts for so long were finally released like a flood bursting its banks.
"He won? He, who is usually regarded as a good-for-nothing by everyone, actually won?" The Crown Prince's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and he muttered to himself in disbelief, staring blankly at Jun Yan.
But Jun Yan looked calm and composed, walking steadily toward Shanxi with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and said softly, "Alright, we can sit a little longer now."
Shanxi: "???"
So you didn't want Junchao to lose too quickly, just so you could sit with me a little longer?
Soon, the fourth match began.
At this moment, not only was the atmosphere on the stage extremely tense, but even the air below the stage seemed to freeze.
After careful deliberation, the Southern Dynasty arranged for a seasoned and renowned general to take the stage.
This general was as tall, burly, and fierce as ever, with a deep scar on his face. He didn't look like a young general, but rather a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time!
Junchao, on the other hand, did not dare to slack off. After layers of screening and consideration, they sent out the strongest candidate in their camp - General Jun, who was both wise and brave and had made outstanding military achievements.
General Jun stood tall and straight, with sharp eyes. He walked firmly onto the arena and faced the Southern Dynasty general from afar. The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if sparks flew.
With the referee's signal, the competition officially began.
The Southern Dynasty general launched the first attack. He roared and pounced on the Jun Dynasty general like a tiger descending a mountain, wielding his long sword with great force, creating a sharp gust of wind.
General Junchao reacted quickly, dodging the fierce attack with a sidestep. At the same time, he swiftly drew his sword and engaged in fierce close combat with the Southern Dynasty general.
In an instant, the arena was filled with flashing swords and shadows, and the two figures intertwined, creating a dazzling spectacle.
The two exchanged blows on the ring, their offense and defense tightly intertwined, neither giving an inch, each move and stance containing immense power.
As time slowly passed, the intensity of the competition continued to escalate, gradually entering a heated phase, and the atmosphere on site became so tense that everyone's palms were sweating.
However, on a psychological level, General Jun was clearly under more severe pressure than his opponent.
At this point, Junchao had already lost two matches and won only one in this competition, putting them in a very unfavorable position.
If I were to lose this contest, I would undoubtedly become a sinner against the dynasty for all time…
With this in mind, General Jun made a desperate decision to gamble everything and risk his life.
He deliberately created a flaw to lure the Southern Dynasty general into a trap.
Upon seeing this, the Southern Dynasty general was overjoyed. A glint of greed and triumph flashed in his eyes, and he immediately swung his long sword, aiming fiercely at the general's vital parts.
Just as the Southern Dynasty general's long sword was about to strike General Junchao, a resolute glint flashed in General Junchao's eyes. He suddenly shifted his body to the side and, with lightning speed, plunged his sword into the Southern Dynasty general's chest.
The Southern Dynasty general's eyes widened suddenly, his expression freezing instantly, his face filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that this seemingly fatal flaw was actually deliberately revealed by the other party with the purpose of stabbing him to death.
He tried to fight back, but the moment the sword was drawn, he fell heavily onto the arena, and blood gushed out instantly, staining the ground red.
General Jun gripped his sword tightly, supporting his collapsing body, and looked ahead, his eyes filled with joy and relief!
He won!
He finally won!
General Jun gritted his teeth, his eyes blurred but resolute as he looked at the referee.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: the opponent was dead, and he had not yet fallen. He should be the victor!
Soon, after confirming the situation on the ground, the referee solemnly announced General Jun's victory.
Upon hearing the news of his victory, General Jun's tense nerves finally relaxed. He could no longer hold on and slowly collapsed, losing all his breath.
As he died, a faint smile remained on his face, as if he were proud of his victory.
In an instant, the deafening cheers stopped abruptly, and the scene fell into dead silence.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw. Looking at the two people who died on the ring, their hearts were filled with shock and emotion.
No one expected that General Jun would resort to such a method to win—risking his life to exchange for the honor and dignity of the Jun Dynasty.
Below the arena, the once cheering subjects of the dynasty stood frozen in place as if under a spell, their expressions extremely complex, including shock, grief, admiration, and above all, disbelief at the fierce competition.
The people of the Southern Dynasty also fell silent, staring at the two gradually cooling bodies on the arena, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
Just as the scene fell into dead silence, Xuanmingzi suddenly spoke up: "Don't let them die in vain. The competition is not yet over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked up at him.
The score between the Jun Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty is now 2 to 2, making this final match crucial!
