Chapter Forty-Six: The Trick of False Tricks
Tensions are spreading.
Why? Because every time you swing your sword, the possibility of defeat in the next instant also strikes.
However, in the end, it is always the soul that feels the tension. Her opponent remained irritated and helpless, seemingly unconcerned about her own defeat. You only have to look at the shrine maiden's calm face to know this kind of thing.
There is no doubt about one's own victory, and there is no doubt about the defeat of the enemy--unfortunately, it is not this domineering and arrogant belief that maintains the indifference of the shrine maiden.
Hakurei Reimu just didn't take this victory to heart, and it didn't matter to her whether she won or lost. Because no matter what the outcome is, she will not gain anything or lose anything at all.
Youmu couldn't be as free and easy as Reimu, and although she didn't think that her defeat or victory would really make any difference, the heat of battle still imperceptibly soaked her.
This is not a deathmatch. The loser doesn't get any terrible stigma and doesn't lose his dignity because of it, to put it bluntly, it's a competition. But for Youmu, who felt dizzy with every move of her footsteps, the power of her sword seemed to flow on the sword with every swing of her sword.
If she continues like this, she will fall down first because of her loss of strength before she can separate herself from her opponent.
If you fight a long battle, you can't win against the opponent in front of you. It should be said that the longer the time holds, the already slim victory of the demon dream will be infinitely close to zero.
Because Hakuri Reimu is not only strong enough to have no flaws, but also has bottomless physical strength.
Now she's fighting back and forth with the shrine maiden, and perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the demon dream that keeps attacking is more powerful. Needless to say, however, this is of course a ridiculous fallacy.
Compared to the demon dream with a sharp blade, the shrine maiden's hand can't even be said to be a weapon in the strict sense. The royal coin used to worship the gods was originally a relatively strong wooden stick. I don't know if it's because of the long-term worship and the spirituality or the blessing of the shrine maiden's spiritual power, this wooden stick has a strength that is not inferior to steel.
She was using such a wooden stick to keep taking the sword of Youmeng.
The clashing and dancing blades and coins do not have the sound and sparks of gold and iron that ordinary swords emit, but it would be a mistake to assume that the two of them were light and powerless.
The high-speed dancing swords and blunt weapons drove the flow of air, and each collision also produced a huge whirlwind, blowing away the cherry blossoms flying all around.
Even if the two of them have disturbed the silence of the courtyard. It is undeniable that the wave of cherry blossoms erupting due to the wind whipped up by the battle is still quite a beautiful sight.
Unfortunately, neither side had the intention of stopping to enjoy the beauty they had created.
Louguan Sword weaved countless sword lights, surging towards the witch like a tide that broke the embankment. She is worthy of being a swordsman who has studied swordsmanship and family history. This hand alone is enough to live up to the name of a swordsman.
But as soon as the blazing sword light touched the witch's coin, it shattered as quickly as if it had touched the wave of a boulder. It's as if Reimu Hakurei couldn't feel the heat coming from the sword at all.
Reimu Hakurei is not a swordsman, and she doesn't even know any swordsmanship. But her mind is quite smart, and her understanding is also extremely high. In addition, her benchmark as a strong person is already above the demon dream, so even in the face of a genuine swordsman, she is not inferior.
Basically, the key to fighting a swordsman is to find out where the flow is going and determine the trajectory of the hand. β¦β¦ Ah, in fact, it is possible to generalize with all enemies.
-- This is what a certain man once told a girl.
Although it sounds like a nonsense at first glance, it is actually the guy's unintentional words when he is chatting. However, Reimu still wrote down this sentence. So what she did when facing the soul demon dream was very simple, just see the trajectory of the other party's sword.
Her Imperial Coin sealed the sword's path before it could increase in strength. And in order to prevent her from succeeding, Youmeng also changed her moves in an instant, and the two sides were repeating this process. At the first touch, the pair keeps changing, and changes direction rapidly.
So far, they are still competing with each other's reaction and prediction ability. Because of this, Youmu can always have a relationship with the shrine maiden, and if it was a pure start wrestling, she might have already been defeated.
However, even if he competes with the quality of a warrior, the soul demon dream has no hope of victory at all. It should be said that with the passage of time, she is inevitably heading for failure.
Youmu is determined to change the offensive.
She bit her silver teeth, and the speed of the Louguan Sword held in her right hand actually went up to a higher level. The slashing silver blade turned into a dazzling streamer and slashed directly at the shrine maiden's shoulder.
The air let out a piercing scream, and the sword wind that rushed in his face was enough to tear people's hearts and souls. However, Reimu's pretty face didn't show any fear, just raised her eyebrows in a little puzzlement.
Such a move to exhaust his strength is really bad, and there is no possibility of even changing the move. It's really too inconsistent with the previous performance of the half-spirit swordsman.
Could it be that they have given up on themselves?
Although he was a little puzzled, Reimu still moved the imperial coin to the silver light impartially, because the trajectory of the straight shoulder was too clear. So the shrine maiden only needs to move her wrists.
ββββFooled!
Seeing the witch's response, Youmeng was overjoyed. But on the surface, it is still quiet.
Her unreserved slash is nothing but a false move, a feint to lure the enemy. Since the beginning of the battle, she has basically used the Louguan sword against the enemy, but in fact, the swordsmanship handed down by the Demon Dream family is the second sword of life.
In other words, what she's really good at is using two blades at the same time.
The rare treacherous and cunning demon dream is not ashamed of this, because this is just a strategy and tactic, and she has not done anything against morality. And, even if you have to be ashamed......
She must also win the opponent in front of her first, and then introspect!
The Louguan Sword is nothing more than a cover to attract Hakuri Reimu's attention. The moment the witch slackened when she took her vulgar sword, that was when the sword of the white mansion that she had been pinning to her waist was unsheathed.
The witch who was distracted by Lou Guanjian's attention definitely couldn't stop this killing move.
The Louguan Sword is close to the length of the Tai Sword, so the attack range is quite wide. However, because of this, it is inevitable that a flaw will be revealed between the two attacks, and at this time, the shorter Bailou Sword will be responsible for containing the enemy, preventing the enemy who sees the flaw from taking any chance.
This is a tactic that belongs exclusively to Demon Dreams. However, she was not proud, because the origin of this method of warfare was her unskill.
If it was her grandfather's soul jealousy, I am afraid there would be no so-called containment. In his hands, the Louguan Sword and the Bailou Sword would smoothly and freely take turns to perform killing moves to deal with the enemy, and there was no gap between revealing flaws at all.
It's a pity that the demon dream has not yet reached the level of the demon taboo, and even so, as long as you can defeat the witch in front of you first, then there is nothing to say.
Only victory can prove the right of a warrior. So, the best way to win.
ββ-Just like Reimu, the girl has never forgotten the words that a man told Yume.
