Chapter 102: Duel (1)
Junpei Yanagi found that, just like in the movie, King had already grasped all the attack paths of the incoming members of Yanagi, and in front of more than 20 wooden swords, he completely distinguished the order, and then the first to come. The first to be hit hard was Junaki Yagyu. Yanagi's actions today were actually for Yanagi Junpei, and he also knew that he would be blamed for going back regardless of whether the raid was successful or not, so he simply rushed to the front. His sword was swept away, and then he was hit by King's right-handed sword, and the whole man fell to his companion beside him.
The companion's body couldn't help but stagnate, and the twin swords in King's hands had already turned to attack the enemy in the other direction. The entire battle lasted no more than a minute, and all the two dozen or so members of the Yagyu Society were swords. Although they would not have suffered any fatal injuries if they did not use real swords, out of pride, they could not choose to continue attacking King after the sword, so they were all considered failures, and King finally bowed to the audience, winning a round of applause from everyone present.
Junpei Yanagi also applauded, feeling even more pressure. He was sure that he would be able to defeat so many people unscathed, but it was very difficult to move like this, and his sixty percent certainty of this battle automatically dropped by one percent.
King returned to his seat, and Yuki Uchida gave him a thumbs up, "Zhenwu, I'm optimistic about you now, and I'm also a kendo student." ”
"In fact, it is not me who is most affected by this farce, but Yanagi." King Nunu mouthed, and then looked at the other party again, "If he had a chance of winning before, now it is completely zero." ”
"Zero?" Yuki Uchida looked at Junpei Yanagi, who was turning around and walking back to his seat, and felt that the momentum on his body was indeed much worse than before.
The premiere was not interrupted for long, and continued to the amazement of everyone, and then everyone began to watch the movie. Yanagi sat there and reminisced about each of King's shots, hoping to find an opportunity for him to break through, and it wasn't until the end of the movie that he got up and walked to the pre-selected venue.
King also walked to the venue, followed by Yuki Uchida, who was dressed as a sword-wielding boy, her trademark hair was recognized by everyone as soon as it appeared, and she applauded together, and she quickly bowed to everyone's jaws, and then picked up her samurai sword that she had brought from home to fill the scene.
"Yanagi is not in good shape right now, doesn't this fight need to change time?" King asked, it was clear that the aura on Yanagi's body had declined a lot compared to before.
"There's no need for that," Liu Sheng said and took his wooden knife, and when the knife reached his hand, the momentum of the whole person quickly soared, and when he saw the king nodding, he asked, "Then what weapon did your Excellency use?" Or is it still a double sword? Those two swords have just gone through so many blows, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the decisive battle between us. ”
"Then let's change the weapon." King walked over to the other weapons placed on the ground, and Yanagi Junpei frowned, "It's not interesting if I win with a weapon that I don't have to take advantage of." ”
King didn't pay attention to him, just looked at the weapons here and didn't choose them, but picked up a katana used by the Yagyu Guild on the ground just now, "Just use this, I've actually learned Japanese katanas." ”
When Yanagi Junhei saw that he actually chose this, he was furious, "You dare to choose this!" Are you challenging the glory of my samurai? It's been 20 years since I learned the katana, and every move of the katana is in my mind, are you insulting me? ”
"Twenty years," said King, "hasn't twenty years taught you to control your feelings before you fight others?" If it's just a katana, I've been studying it for two days, so I'll see the results of your twenty years of hard work, right? ”
Yuki Uchida smiled behind her back, she knew the psychological tactics in the duel skills, and Yanagi would definitely not be bad, but obviously, Yanagi's anger was aroused.
The momentum of the sword raised by Yanagi in anger was countless points stronger than it was at the beginning, but the old man of the Yanagi family, who was watching the battle nearby, looked at it and said, "First time, Junpei has already lost. ”
That's when the referee shouted, "First, start." As soon as these words came out, Yanagi immediately started his standard sliding steps and moved in the direction of King, and with each step, the momentum strengthened by a point. He wasn't worried that King would use the same method he had done to the other members of the Yanagi Guild to deal with him, because the other party only had a knife in his hand, and he could block any attack from the other party at any time. And King was shrouded in his attack range, and if he used a katana, he would have no defensive power at all, so he could only retreat.
King is indeed retreating, and the speed of retreat is not slow, which surprises the audience, "With such momentum, he is going to lose!" It's impossible to block. ”
In the blink of an eye, King had retreated to the end of the platform, and the blow that Yanagi Junpei had been accumulating for a long time slashed down. With such momentum, the battle between the Japanese samurai had actually decided the outcome. It's a pity that King is not a Japanese samurai, and when the sword came down, he didn't choose a meaningless block, but suddenly took the initiative to lean towards Yanagi. The sword in his hand that was stared at by Yanagi didn't use it at all, it only used the sudden movement of his body, and it passed under Yanagi's armpit, and Yanagi's knife was cut into the air, and then he felt a pain in his back. At the same time as the knife slashed through the air, King came to his back, and the knife in his hand just casually stabbed Yanagi's vest.
"Winner: King." The referee loudly announced the results of the first round, and Yuki Uchida and Yamato Films, as well as many spectators present, applauded.
"What a win!" There were also discordant voices in the audience, you must know that the strongest swordsman in his own country actually lost when he also used Japanese swords, which was a heavy shame for the Japanese, "The people of China are cheating, where are there people who use samurai swords like this?" ”
"According to the rules," the referee said impartially, "the side that is hit loses, and there is no restriction on defensive counter-attacking play in kendo matches." For Yagyu-san, if you want to win, there will be two or three times ahead. Yagyu has no problem, right? ”
"No," Liu Sheng lost the first time, and his heart was stirring and churning, this time the king seemed to win by tricks, but in the duel, it was allowed to win by tricks. If the opponent is Japanese, he can curse with the audience that the opponent does not have the spirit of bushido, but the opponent is not Japanese. And for his own martial arts, it is not a good thing to experience failure.
"Then the second order begins." The referee said, and Yanagi struck a fighting stance again.
At this time, King smiled slightly and said, "Since everyone thinks that Japanese kendo is an offensive stream, then let me show how my swordsmanship is attacking." "King is on the attack.
"Alright," Yanagi abruptly changed his defensive stance. At this time, the old man of the Yanagi family, who was watching the battle next to him, couldn't help it, rushed out of the room, and shouted, "Junping, aren't you awake anymore?" How can you fall for this person? Isn't it the way to die if you give up your offensive advantage and switch to a defensive routine that you are not good at? ”
It was then that Junpei Yanagi realized what a mistake he had made, which would never have happened in the past. That's because he was full of confidence in his attack, but the situation just now made him a little flawed in his heart, and his confidence in his attack was half a point lower, and he actually accepted such a condition.
It stands to reason that the referee said that the duel began after the second round. King saw that he was a little chaotic at this time, but he didn't rush to attack, and said, "Liu Sheng's breath is uneven now, do you need to suspend the game and rest for a while to fight again?" ”
"No, you don't." Junpei Yagyu's fanatical samurai spirit rose again, "Not at all, please help." ”
(Yagyu's use of the katana had reached its peak, so King adopted an alternative martial arts style to win the first one, forcing Yagyu into a life-and-death battle.) )
