Chapter 38: Stick Technique
Xia Xiyue's face was expressionless, and she didn't waver at all, as if she hadn't heard the fat man say that she wanted to be her wife.
Seeing this, the fat man also raised the long stick sternly, the stick about two feet long was even taller than his height, if it weren't for the zombies rampant, many people carried weapons with them, and the appearance of the Humpty Dumpty man carrying the long stick would have become a laughing stock long ago.
Xia Xiyue was a little hesitant when she saw the stick, although she had studied martial arts for six years, but she was studying swordsmanship or empty-handed fighting, even if she had more combat experience than ordinary people, she was also trained by street gangsters or swordsmanship instructors, basically she had never touched stick skills at all, let alone an opponent with a stick.
The fat man took the lead, the long stick picked left and right, slashed and flirted, all three feet in his attack range, the successive offensives were dizzying, the tiger's moves continued to sweep away the gravel on the ground, and the crowd of onlookers even unconsciously retreated, freeing up more space.
The flying stick momentum is not clear to ordinary people at all, but Xia Xiyue stood still, danced with a wooden knife in his hand, and opened all the attacking stick shadows one by one with the smallest movement, and the sound of collision was endless in just a few minutes, and the onlookers could not see the weapons of the two sides at all.
The stalemate didn't last long, and Xia Xiyue suddenly jumped back, and one end of the long stick slashed at the position where she had been standing, raising a little dust. Xia Xiyue, who was out of the range of the stick, let out a long breath, and did not maintain a fighting posture, but shook her sour hands while wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead with her cuffs.
The fat man did not pursue, and when he withdrew his stick, he twisted his neck and relaxed his limbs, and looked at ease; Even though all his attacks were blocked by the block, Xia Xiyue could only defend and could not fight back, and he had most of the advantages.
"Good response!" The fat man's eyes lit up, and his expression was very similar to Du Wuyan who had just heard Xia Xiyue's name, "I know you, you are the schoolgirl who defeated Little Japan...... It's called summer, summer ......"
ββ¦β¦ Xia Xiyue. β
"That's right! That's the name! β
"Miss Xia Xiyue...... Famous? Seeing the appearance of the fat man, Lin Yang, who was watching the battle next to him, had a very complicated expression, and he pulled the corner of Yun Qi's clothes and asked. She can't have killed the Japanese, right? β
"How is it possible......" Yun Qi replied angrily, she was almost worried to death, and this negligent bodyguard still bothered her! It's just that he won the championship sent by the Japanese side at an international martial arts exchange meeting. β
"That's not it, the fat man isβ"
"It's a tease, I know, can you shut up?"
After a few minutes, Xia Xiyue had already adjusted, and she raised the wooden knife again, but the fat man on the opposite side had no intention of fighting, and seemed to be thinking about something; Since the other party gave her time to recuperate, Xia Xiyue didn't want to sneak attack the other party, so she waited quietly.
"Ah, you're going to fight?" After waiting a few more minutes for the fat man to come back to his senses, he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. "Well, your qualifications are good, although you use small Japanese swordsmanship, but now there is nothing to pick...... Let's discuss? β
"What?"
"Since my cousin likes it, and you have that bit of strength, it's no problem for you to give this sword......" The fat man waved his hand, not noticing that Xia Xiyue's face was getting heavier and heavier, and he said loudly to himself. In the name of Du Family Du Wufeng, Xia Xiyue is recognized as having the qualification to hold the Du Family Sword! β
After the fat man announced, there was a commotion around, Xia Xiyue's eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames, but unfortunately only Yun Qi noticed her fluctuations, and most of the people were whispering about Xia Xiyue's luck.
One person may not hear Xia Xiyue, but what about five, ten, twenty people?
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"That's it! It's a pity that you are learning little Japanese swordsmanship, so it's best to find time to discuss the essence of my Du family's swordsmanship with my cousin. The fat man smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "Work hard, you won't be able to beat me in three or five yearsβ"
"Have you had enough of your?" As soon as Xia Xiyue spoke, the audience was silent, "Who wants that broken sword?" β
"Wait, wait, ...... you say you break the sword? What the hell are youβ"
"I don't understand what qualifications or swords you're talking about, and I'm not interested." Seeing the fat man's expression that was a mixture of shock and bewilderment, Xia Xiyue said with a cold face, "The reason for doing it is very simple, you want to move my friend, you insulted my strength, so I want to beat you into a pig's head, understand?" β
"Insults? I'm obviously complimentingβ"
Of course, the fat man didn't know that his joking hugging cloud prayer just now had already made Xia Xiyue angry, coupled with the casual attitude of suddenly interrupting the duel, it was a kind of provocation in the eyes of Xia Xiyue, who was strict by nature.
Too lazy to pay attention to the fat man, Xia Xiyue rushed forward with a knife, and the fat man hurriedly raised a stick to slash, and the two exchanged hands again. Unlike the battle a few minutes ago, both sides took steps instead of standing in place, Xia Xiyue moved forward steadily, the wooden knife in his hand pushed away the incoming stick shadow, and the distance under his feet continued to close; The fat man desperately forced back the advancing opponent, a long stick played fast, and the dense offensive made the audience breathless.
After all, there is a limit to people's reaction speed, and to block a large number of rapid attacks, in addition to strength, it also depends on experience and luck, but Xia Xiyue has no experience in sticks, and today's luck is not good.
She swung her blade away from the end of the stick that hit her abdomen, but she didn't notice the other end of the stick swinging from the side, and was hit in the left temple; Although this blow was not very powerful because the fat man sacrificed his strength in exchange for speed, after all, he was hit in the head without protection, and Xia Xiyue's figure suddenly froze.
Everyone saw this scene, including the fat man, who was also startled by the touch on his hands. Just when he was worried that he would be killed by Du Wuyan, a horizontal slash of the wooden knife hit him in the cheek, and before he could figure out the situation, Xia Xiyue's foot was kicking his round stomach, and the strong force made him fly out and knock down the stall behind him.
Even if the fat man was kicked away, Xia Xiyue couldn't stabilize her body and sat on the ground. The stick made her dizzy, and if she hadn't bitten the tip of her tongue hard at the moment of the blow, forcing herself to wake up with pain, how could she have made the following counterattack?
"Xiao Xi!" Yun Qi couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed out of the crowd to help Xia Xiyue. "Are you alright? Is there any how? β
Xia Xiyue shook her head, she didn't feel any discomfort except for dizziness and gagging; The fat man on the other side also got up with the help of Du Wuyan, although the guy screamed desperately in pain, in fact, there was no big problem, the strictest thing was that his back hit the table and bruised, and he lost a tooth.
"God, you are so ruthless...... Do you really want me to be your wife? β
"Talk!" Du Wuyan slapped the fat man on the back of the head, she was quite apprehensive in her heart, it was rare to meet a master who could use a sword, she didn't want to make the other party dissatisfied because of a small misunderstanding, so her faction was doomed to decline. "It doesn't matter to you, right? Small...... Is Miss Xia injured? β
ββ¦β¦ No. Seeing the fat man and Du Wuyan coming over, Xia Xiyue's expression was not good-looking.
This made Du Wuyan even more worried, but she didn't know that Xia Xiyue was already expressionless, and with the influence of that stick, it was inevitable that her face would be ugly, and her dissatisfaction with the fat man had already been dissipated when she kicked him away.
"That...... Yes, would you like to eat something? You must be thirsty after such a fierce battle, right? β
"No need to ......"
"Hey, go get some food and drink." I don't know if Xia Xiyue is not targeting herself, Du Wuyan desperately wants to mend the relationship, she casually beckoned a military police officer with a gun and said. "Isn't it disturbing the order that there are so many people enjoying the cool here? Tell them what they should do and what they should do! β
"Yes!"
The gendarmes hurriedly ran away, this scene made Yun Qi frown, it seems that this woman also has a certain status in the military, they shouldn't provoke people who can't be messed with, right?
"Look at my confusion...... Oops, it was a misunderstanding. Du Wuyan smiled awkwardly, "I'm so happy to see a strong person like Miss Xia, forget to explain the origin of this sword and some rules, you won't be angry, right?" Wait, let's talk while we talk! β
"I'm not angry......"
"Hey, Xiao Xia Xia, you said it earlier!" As soon as she heard that Xia Xiyue was not angry, Du Wuyan instantly changed from a restrained intellectual beauty to a sexy stunner, and she pushed away the fat man and pounced on Xia Xiyue and snorted. "Since you won, then the people and the sword are your things, so be gentle with others?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"I remember we didn't say we wanted a sword...... Don't pounce on Xiao Xi like this, she is uncomfortable. Yun Qi pulled the sticky candy on Xia Xiyue's body hard. Food and drink are also free, not bad for the money, you two superb brothers and sisters just stay away from us. β
"Don't, don't be in a hurry to leave, two beauties...... Hiss, it hurts. The fat man said with a bitter face, "Cousin didn't say anything, huh?" What a ......."
"Aren't I going to say it now? What are you arguing about? β
"What do you want to say...... Hey, I didn't even have time to report my name, my name is Du Wufeng, and I'm honored to know you. β
was left aside by Du Wuyan, and stared at by Xia Xiyue's indifferent eyes, Yun Qi didn't want to see him, and the fat man had to scratch his head in embarrassment.
ββ¦β¦ How about let's talk about the sword first? Since Miss Xia practices swords, she should also love swords, right? What's more, in this situation, a good weapon is hard to come by, and it's hard to buyβ"
"Oh." Xia Xiyue replied without being salty, and after resting for a few minutes, the dizziness was reduced a lot, and she forcefully pulled out the arm that was being held by Du Wuyan. "If it's okay, let's go first."
"Wait, wait! Hear me out! β
ββ¦β¦ Tell me quickly, we have an appointment. β
"Good! I'm talking about the point! Our Du family was originally a big family that inherited martial arts, but during the epidemic, many heirs were bitten and infected...... "Du Wufeng was also used to being bullied by Du Wuyan, and he was not dissatisfied with Xia Xiyue's attitude. "I can still pass on the spear skills and stick skills here, but the heir of my cousin's swordsmanship is either missing or dead, so we want to find a swordsman from outside and pass on the Du family's swordββ"
"So this woman is setting up a stall here, in fact, it is a martial arts competition to recruit relatives?" The corners of Yun Qi's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether to laugh or sigh, "If you win, you can not only take away the sword, but also marry this woman, and even inherit your Du family's swordsmanship?" β
"That's right, but my cousin's words depend on her personal wishes."
"Personal Wishes ......"
Seeing Du Wuyan, who was eagerly staring at Xia Xiyue, Yun Qi suddenly felt that thousands of crows were flying by.
