Chapter 298: Preemptive Strike
The scholar surnamed Gu came closer. He hugged his fists and saluted: "Under the 'Hidden Sword Gate' Guping, I will teach the white girl's swordsmanship!"
Bai Lanhua looked at the face of the scholar surnamed Gu and said with a smile: "Ouch, Mr. Gu is really polite, this girl has also heard the name of your 'Hidden Sword Gate', although the strength is a little weaker, it can be regarded as a famous family in the Qianjing realm." Okay, today this girl will let you take advantage of it, draw your sword and attack first!"
The scholar surnamed Gu said: "Don't dare, Bai girl, please strike first, Gu will draw his sword when necessary." ”
This poor sour man refused to draw his sword to attack first, and he didn't even want to take advantage of the cheap delivery to the door? The white orchid frowned, looking at the eyes of the scholar surnamed Gu, but it was a little more dignified.
In a hands-on fight, the first side always has some advantage, which is the so-called "first opportunity". When the two sides confronted each other, many people even resorted to all kinds of stratagems just to seize the "opportunity."
But there are always exceptions to everything, and White Orchid's "Thirteen Styles of Water" is just a kind of preemptive martial arts. Just because the best tactics of this swordsmanship are to use the light spirit body method to dodge the opponent's attack, and then use the "point stab" technique to attack the flaws and gaps in the opponent's moves.
Previously, it was precisely because of his desperate efforts to attack that Bai Lanhua seized the opportunity to counterattack and succeeded, and he was defeated and vomited blood. And now the white orchid is so generous, let the other party take the first shot, which is this purpose. But he didn't expect that this scholar with the ancient surname would not be fooled, not only did he refuse to take the lead, but he even refused to draw his sword!
I don't know if this scholar has seen through the mystery of his own swordsmanship, or if he has some kind of "sword drawing" stunt. Bai Lanhua secretly thought in her heart, she had already shown the frame, her jade arms were raised flat, and her hands were long and short, and the tips of the two swords pointed at the scholar with the ancient surname.
The people in the north saw that the two sides were about to fight, and suddenly there was another burst of clamour.
However, the people of Nangong Qi in front of the wine table in the southwest corner were all staring at the situation in the field, with solemn expressions.
Nangong Qi sighed and said, "The woman of the 'Diancang Sect' is strong in martial arts, but the ancient brother doesn't even draw a sword, it's too big!"
Hua Bushi smiled and said, "Since Brother Gu dares to challenge, he must have something to rely on, Brother Nangong doesn't have to worry about him, we just need to watch the battle." ”
Nangong Qi was still worried, and said: "I hope so, I hope that the ancient brother will not have any accidents." ”
Since the defeat of the Zhengde Dao Commander and vomiting blood before, the competition and battle in the field have a tendency to be more than fierce, and the alliance of their six sects is already weak, if it is damaged again, it will be even more disadvantageous.
What Nangong Qi is worried about is precisely this section.
At this moment, in the field in the center of the pavilion, the white orchid has swam around the scholar with the ancient surname several times, and the scholar with the ancient surname is holding the scabbard with his left hand, and pressing the hilt with his right hand, but his figure is not moving.
The previous battle between Bai Lanhua and Zhengde Dao Chang and Xishou came up to challenge was very lively, and at this time with this ancient scholar, the two confronted each other for a long time, and did not make a move, the audience felt bored, and suddenly many people began to scold.
At this time, Bai Lanhua had already determined that this scholar with the ancient surname had made up his mind to shrink his head and was unwilling to attack first. She screamed, and the long sword in her right hand reached out and stabbed at the chest of the scholar surnamed Gu.
The scholar surnamed Gu took a step back, and the scabbard was raised, which had sealed the sword momentum of the white orchid, and the white orchid turned his wrist, and the second sword slashed towards the right shoulder of the scholar surnamed Gu!
In the blink of an eye, the white orchid had stabbed out more than ten swords, the scholar surnamed Gu retreated more than ten steps, the long sword was still not unsheathed, and the defensive posture of the long sword with the sheath was not leaky, and no flaws were revealed.
Of course, there are also moves in the "Thirteen Styles of Dotting Water", but taking the initiative to attack is not the specialty of this swordsmanship. The scabbard of the ancient surname Shuchang sword is made of mahogany, which is very hard, and the sword is not unsheathed, it is equivalent to a short stick. This kind of play, although the scholar surnamed Gu has no defense, but the white orchid also can't exert the power of swordsmanship, and the two sides have dismantled dozens of moves, but the battle has become a stalemate.
It's just that the scholar surnamed Gu has retreated all the way, and has withdrawn more than ten zhang, although this pavilion is spacious, but by this time he has also retreated to the edge.
And Bai Lanhua also saw that there was a big red lacquer pillar behind the scholar with the ancient surname, and immediately the two swords came out, sealing the space for him to dodge on both sides, and deliberately forced the scholar with the ancient surname to the big pillar, so that he could not retreat.
The scholar surnamed Gu took two steps back, his heel touched the big pillar, and he couldn't retreat anymore, seeing that the next sword must not be able to catch it, the sheathed long sword in his hand immediately swung out, and counterattacked at the white orchid's chest!
White orchids have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Just because once the opponent attacks, it is inevitable that flaws will be exposed, and her swordsmanship can be brought into play. And it is easy to force the scholar surnamed Gu to this realm, Bai Lanhua is determined to win with one move, and he must not be allowed to escape again!
The long sword in the right hand of the white orchid stabbed obliquely, and it had been pointed on the sword body of the scholar surnamed Gu, and the skill had led the opponent's sword momentum away, and her figure was bent and folded, and the short sword held in her left hand had pierced the throat of the scholar surnamed Gu!
This trick is the trick "Breaking Branches" in the "Thirteen Styles of Water"!
This was a foolproof move, just because the opponent's sword momentum had been drawn away, and the flaws in his chest were exposed, and the attack was nine out of ten at this time. However, Bai Lanhua ignored one point, that is, the long sword of the scholar surnamed Gu was still hidden in the sheath and was not pulled out!
At this moment, the cold light flashed, and the long sword of the scholar surnamed Gu was already out of the sheath, and Bai Lanhua suddenly found that what her right hand sword led away was not the opponent's long sword, but just an ebony scabbard, and the real sword momentum of the other party was slashing at the blade of the short sword that stabbed out of her left hand!
I only heard a crisp sound, and the short sword in Bai Lanhua's left hand was broken in response, and the ancient scholar's sword momentum turned, and the long sword slashed horizontally, and the long sword on Bai Lanhua's right hand was light, and it was also cut into two!
The white orchid was shocked, jumped backwards, and quickly retreated, with a shocked and angry expression on her face. The steel sword in both of her hands was now only a short section, not much longer than a dagger.
The scholar surnamed Gu didn't chase after him, but stood in place with a long sword and said, "The white girl has conceded!"
Originally, Bai Lanhua thought that she had won the battle, but she was actually cut off by the other party in an instant, and the situation was reversed in an instant. It was only at this time that Bai Lanhua had the opportunity to see the long sword in the hand of the scholar surnamed Gu clearly, but he only heard that the sword was faintly bright, and the shadow of the blade flowed, and it turned out to be a treasure blade.
It turned out that the other party had been only defending and not attacking, and refused to draw the sword, just to wait for her to use a trick, and then rely on the advantage of the sword to win. If the scholar surnamed Gu drew his sword early in the morning, Bai Lanhua would definitely deal with it carefully when he saw the extraordinary appearance of the long sword, and refused to easily use his weapon to touch the opponent's long sword.
Her mistake was not so much because her skills were not as good as others, but because she was taken advantage of by the sword of this scholar with the ancient surname.
Bai Lanhua's eyes looked at the tips of the two swords that fell to the ground, then looked at the broken sword in his hand, and asked, "What kind of weapon are you using?"
The scholar surnamed Gu said: "This sword is called 'Qiushui', although it is not as good as the ancient divine soldier 'Moyang Sword', but it is also a rare blade. ”
Bai Lanhua gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you're amazing!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked back to the north of the feast. The weapon was broken, and she couldn't fight anymore, even if she didn't want to admit defeat, there was no way.
Relying on the advantage of the sword to win, since it is not so convincing, after the white orchid retreated, not only some people at the banquet in the north scolded, but also many people in the Jianghu sect on the east and west sides showed disdain and sneered.
However, although these people were not angry in their hearts, no one stepped forward to challenge them for a while. The "Autumn Water Sword" sharpens iron like clay, just now I heard that everyone in the Tao Pavilion has seen it with their own eyes, and it can also be seen when he fought with the white orchid just now that the martial arts of this scholar surnamed Gu are not bad, and with the help of the sword, it is really not easy to deal with.
In front of the wine table in the southwest corner, Nangong Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Gu has such a sharp sword, of course he has a great chance of winning, so I worry about him in vain!"
Hua Bushi said: "Brother Gu's 'Tibetan Sword Gate' is famous for forging weapons, and it is natural for him to carry a treasure blade. However, if you want to take the sword king tonight, I am afraid that this alone is still not enough. ”
Nangong Qi said: "Oh, I think that in this pavilion, as long as the masters of the 'Seven Great Sects' don't make a move, there is still some hope for Brother Gu to win." ”
Hua Bushi said: "The words are good, but you see, someone from Dongshou has already come out." ”
Nangong Qiyan turned his head to look at it, and his face immediately became ugly, because he had already seen that the person who came out of the Dongshou banquet was none other than Yu Jun, the elder of the "Huashan Sect".
When fighting for the "Shenhong Knife" before, the "Seven Major Sects" in this pavilion except for the Shaolin Yuanguang Master sent a small monk to symbolically try a game, and none of the masters in charge of the matter made a move, and it seemed that the two blades could not impress them. At this time, this Huashan elder walked out, and when he heard the Tao Pavilion, he was suddenly silent, and even those rough people in the Beishouchuan Realm closed their mouths.
The "Seven Great Sects" are the leaders of the white way in the world, and their status above the rivers and lakes is not comparable to ordinary shili after all, and no one dares to offend them for no reason.
The scholar surnamed Gu of the "Tibetan Sword Gate" obviously didn't expect that there would be people from the "Seven Great Sects" who came out to challenge, his face was already a little pale, staring at Yu Jun step by step and approaching, even the hand holding the "Qiushui Sword" trembled a little.
Under such circumstances, before the two sides fought, his mind and momentum had already been shaken, and he had completely fallen into disadvantage.
Yu Junben is not amazing, and his figure is not tall, but standing in the pavilion at this time, it is like a high mountain, which makes people feel awe.
