Chapter 62: Successfully advanced to the top 4.
The battle between Jun Luochuan and Zhao Lei was like a breathtaking thunderstorm, growing increasingly intense and awe-inspiring. Both fought with the intensity of burning life itself, giving their all to defeat the other. Jun Luochuan fought despite his injuries; each attack and dodge was like a merciless blade, relentlessly aggravating his bleeding wounds. The pain, like a demon's shadow, followed him relentlessly. Yet, his eyes grew ever more resolute, shining with unwavering light like two brilliant stars in the dark night sky.
Zhao Lei was not to be outdone. Like a raging beast, he tried to exploit Jun Luochuan's injury, launching a relentless barrage of attacks. The momentum of his attacks was like a surging sea, one wave higher than the next, attempting to completely engulf Jun Luochuan. However, Jun Luochuan's tenacity far exceeded his expectations. Like an unyielding mountain, he stood proudly against the wind and rain.
"Jun Luochuan, let's see how long you can hold out!" Zhao Lei roared, his voice like a thunderclap, deafening. His attacks grew increasingly ferocious, like burning swords, burning with boundless rage, madly stabbing towards Jun Luochuan.
Jun Luochuan gritted his teeth, as if they were about to shatter, and silently vowed, "I will never lose to a despicable person like you! Even if the heavens and earth collapse, I will fight to the very end!"
At this moment, Su Yao, sitting in the audience, was as nervous as an ant on a hot pan. Her fists were clenched, her palms sweating profusely, the sweat rolling down like beads from a broken string. She stared intently at Jun Luochuan on the stage, her eyes filled with concern and worry, as if Jun Luochuan were her entire world. She silently prayed, a prayer that seemed to come from the depths of her soul.
The surrounding audience held their breath, the entire arena fell silent, as if time itself had stood still. Everyone stared wide-eyed, as if frozen in place, intently watching this intense and breathtaking duel, afraid to miss a single moment.
Jun Luochuan endured excruciating pain, a pain that felt like it was tearing his body apart, but his mind remained exceptionally clear. Suddenly, like a keen eagle, he found a subtle yet fatal flaw in Zhao Lei's defenses. Without hesitation, he launched an attack, and the light of his magic instantly illuminated the entire arena like dazzling fireworks, a light so brilliant it was mesmerizing.
Caught off guard, Zhao Lei was struck by Jun Luochuan's sudden attack, like a sandbag hit by a heavy hammer, and staggered backward. His face was filled with astonishment and disbelief, as if he couldn't believe he had been hit like that.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Jun Luochuan pressed forward like a wild horse, giving Zhao Lei no chance to breathe. His spells poured out like a storm, their force seemingly capable of destroying the entire world. Zhao Lei was left powerless to retaliate, forced to defend passively, yet still unable to withstand Jun Luochuan's overwhelming attacks.
Finally, Zhao Lei could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground like a crumbling mountain.
"Jun Luochuan wins! He has successfully advanced to the semi-finals!" The referee's voice rang out, a voice like heavenly music that instantly ignited the passion of the entire arena. Thunderous applause and cheers erupted throughout the stadium, the sound like surging waves, one higher than the next, seemingly threatening to overturn the entire arena.
Jun Luochuan breathed a sigh of relief, his body swaying slightly, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. But he still managed to stand firm, his resolute posture like an unyielding flag.
Su Yao was as excited as a happy little bird. She couldn't wait to run onto the stage and jumped into Jun Luochuan's arms.
"You're amazing! I knew you could do it!" Su Yao said excitedly, her voice as clear and melodious as a silver bell, full of joy and pride.
Jun Luochuan smiled slightly, a hint of fatigue showing on his face, but that fatigue could not hide the light in his eyes.
"What's this? The semi-finals are not my end." His voice, though weak, echoed in the air like a melodious bell, full of confidence and determination.
At this moment, the elders of the sect also walked onto the stage with smiles on their faces and steady steps to congratulate Jun Luochuan.
"Luo Chuan, you performed exceptionally well. We look forward to seeing you perform even better in the upcoming matches," an elder said, his voice gentle and kind, full of encouragement and expectation.
Jun Luochuan bowed respectfully to the elders, his movements elegant and solemn.
"Thank you for your praise, elders. I will certainly live up to your expectations and bring glory to the sect!"
Amidst cheers from the crowd, Jun Luochuan slowly stepped down from the stage. He knew the challenges ahead would be even more difficult, like climbing a towering mountain. But he was prepared, like an arrow poised to be released, ready to meet the new challenge at any moment…
