Chapter 303: Fierce Battle with Taishi Xiang

Taishi Xiang immediately picked up a three-headed ring knife. The blade emitted a cold light that was colder than a human. The back of the blade was carved with a hideous look, as if it could open its bloody mouth in the next moment, rush towards the enemy, and tear the opponent to pieces.

Sun Quan praised, "Nice sword."

Tai Shixiang prepared his position, "This is a sword that my father made especially for me, my lord, I am sorry for the offense!"

Although he said he had offended Sun Quan, there was no apology in Taishi Xiang's eyes. Instead, there was only a desire for victory and disdain for Sun Quan.

He had just seen Sun Quan fighting against his generals on the high platform. Sun Quan had a strong posture, steady steps, decisive moves, and precise and powerful techniques.

It is hard to imagine that this is a young prince. After all, when he first met Sun Quan, he looked more like a young man from a noble family who liked to pretend to be cultured.

But even so, Taishi Xiang did not really take this prince seriously.

He had lived in the military camp with his father Taishi Ci since he was a child, and was taught martial arts by Taishi Ci himself. The generals who had fought on the battlefield accompanied him in martial arts practice every day.

So, although he is only in his early twenties, he is also a leader in martial arts. Except for his father Taishi Ci, no other general can defeat him.

Even Taishi Ci said that if another ten years passed, Taishi Xiang's martial arts would surely be better than his.

Sun Quan responded, "Young General, there is no need to hold back. A martial arts contest requires one to exert one's full strength to enjoy the contest."

Hearing this, Taishi Xiang no longer held back and took the lead in attacking, swinging his three-ring sword towards Sun Quan with a sharp gust of wind.

Sun Quan crossed his two halberds and avoided Taishi Xiang's powerful attack with a single move. At the same time, he kicked Taishi Xiang in the waist with his right foot.

Taishi Xiang immediately dodged and launched a second round of attack using his sword skills.

On the training ground, the three-ring swords and the double halberds collided alternately, making crisp metallic collision sounds. In terms of strength, Taishi Xiang's moves were extremely sharp, and each one was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, and even the bystanders could feel the strong sense of oppression.

But Sun Quan was unfazed by such powerful pressure. He held two halberds in his hands and flashed through the air, instantly blocking Taishi Xiang's attack. Countless sword lights and sparks intertwined and flew in the air. His agile footwork raised clouds of dust that filled the air, forming a spectacular picture.

Taishi Xiang soon felt something was wrong. The battle could be ended in a few rounds, but he was unable to find a way to defeat the enemy in one blow. He could not find any flaws in Sun Quan's defense and offense.

Taishi Ci, who was watching from the audience, also saw the clues. "Your Excellency's martial arts are inherited from Bofu, but you are better at defense. You use retreat as a means of advance, and you are more proficient than Bofu in this."

Sun Quan has all the qualities of an old friend.

I recall that they also fought like this at Shenting. The Overlord Spear and the Hand Halberd fought for three hundred rounds. The armor was crooked, and the Hand Halberd and Overlord Spear slipped from their hands.

Later, the two men took off their armor and fought shirtless with fists and feet. The battle lasted until dusk. They lay on the ground exhausted, with even their hair disheveled.

But in the end, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

How wonderful it is to have an opponent of equal strength in this world.

The generals around him were still sighing, "Young General is indeed brave and heroic. If this continues, the winner will be decided within twenty rounds."

Taishi Ci said, "Indeed, the winner is about to be decided."

Taishi Xiang's offensive seemed to be swift and fierce, and he forced Sun Quan to retreat step by step, but in fact he did not really pose any effective threat to Sun Quan. Instead, he consumed a lot of physical strength because of his all-out competition.

Such a protracted battle also surprised Taishi Xiang. He had wanted to win within thirty rounds, but he did not expect that after nearly a hundred rounds, he still could not gain the advantage in the battle.

Cheers erupted around the platform. No matter what the result of this competition was, it was an extremely exciting battle for most people in the military camp. The eyes of many people began to change when they looked at Sun Quan at this time.

From contempt to appreciation, and even full of worship and admiration.

After all, no matter what era it is, people are naturally attracted to the strong. They may feel resentment and envy towards those who are not much different from themselves, but they will only have admiration towards those who are much stronger than themselves. Being a young prince with outstanding martial arts skills, this may be the dream life for many people.

Taishi Xiang's eyes gradually became serious, from contempt at the beginning to respect. Facing Sun Quan's flexible and changeable steps and body movements, he suddenly realized that he might have fallen into Sun Quan's trap.

He underestimated his enemy, so he didn't use his full strength from the beginning. Now every move he made seemed to be hitting cotton, which brought neither threat to the opponent nor advantage to himself.

When masters fight, victory or defeat is often decided in just a breath.

Taishi Xiang clearly felt that he was powerless when facing Sun Quan.

He caught a glimpse of his father on the high platform. Taishi Ci's eyes were fixed on Sun Quan, as if he could see through him.

Taishi Xiang thought to himself that he couldn't afford to lose face in front of everyone and he had to defeat Sun Quan.

Just as he was thinking about it, his sword technique changed, he stood up and leaped high, and with a flying kick and swinging his sword, he slashed towards Sun Quan quickly.

In a martial arts competition, the most taboo thing is an unstable mentality.

As Taishi Xiang's siege proved unsuccessful for a long time, his eyes became more and more anxious and his attacks became more and more fierce, forcing Sun Quan to face his sword head-on with each blow.

Taishi Ci sighed secretly and said, "At most ten rounds, Yuan Fu will be defeated."

The trusted generals around him were not clear, "The young general is in his prime, how could he be defeated?"

At least in his opinion, it was Junhou who should lose.

"Sharp on the outside, but rotten on the inside." Although Taishi Ci was reluctant to admit it, it was true that compared with Sun Quan, Taishi Xiang was too impatient.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Impatience will make people blind and unable to see the real situation in front of them.

"Yuan Fu, you need more experience."

One round.

Two rounds.

Three rounds.

Four rounds.

……

ten rounds.

There are flaws.

Tai Shi Xiang's eyes changed, and he immediately seized the opportunity to launch a powerful attack.

Sun Quan dodged the attack by turning around, and the back of his right halberd struck Taishi Xiang's wrist.

Taishi Xiang loosened his hand in pain, and the three-ring knife fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, Sun Quan's left halberd was already on Taishi Xiang's neck.

If it were on the battlefield, Taishi Xiang would have been dead.

The soldiers and generals around the platform thought that the competition would continue for a long time, but they didn't expect that at the climax, everything came to an abrupt end and returned to calm.
