101 The Fool VIII
Looking at the bright knife in front of me, I understood my situation at the first time.
In other words, I understood the essence of the swordsman's move.
In almost all schools of actual combat swordsmanship, there is an unavoidable core contradiction. This contradiction is called "double killing". The meaning is also very simple: if you and your opponent are both holding swords of the same length, and the level of swordsmanship is almost the same as each other, and then you go to chop and stab the opponent yourself, but the opponent has no defense from the beginning, and at the same time chops and stabs over, you want to exchange your life for your life, what should you do.
This contradiction cannot be solved even by many swordsmanship masters. Unless you are prepared in advance, such as when the opponent rushes over, you suddenly pull out your gun and knock it over, or your own swordsmanship level is far superior to the opponent. Otherwise, it's just a matter of luck. And this so-called luck is generally unreliable.
If the idea I came up with at this moment of life and death was not wrong based on my own experience, then the ability that the swordsman used on me at this moment was a mandatory double kill.
In other words, he was able to move himself to within the distance of being able to slash me without any reason; At the same time, it can also force me to give up all evasive and defensive movements, and go to fight his demon sword and tiger thoroughly.
It's no wonder he's able to kill three Alliance Faction's Extra Psionics unscathed, simply because he has the swordsmanship and weapons that are invincible in melee combat, and he's incredibly effective at forcing his opponents into melee combat. What is even more terrifying is that the initiative to initiate this "duel" is only in the hands of the swordsman, so he will be able to take the lead anyway. His opponents are often far inferior in skill and may not even have weapons.
All my thoughts were completed in the light of lightning, and I faced his fatal blow, and I only made one, and it was the only one I could make at the moment, no matter how I thought about it, it was extremely contrary to the common sense of martial arts, and it was an extremely thrilling decision - I directly used my hand as a knife, and I slashed with the demon sword and tiger thoroughly.
To be precise, from the side angle, he twisted his wrist at the critical moment, avoided the edge, and slashed his blade.
Even I thought it was incredible, and he was probably too surprised to be overwhelmed. Unfortunately, I couldn't see his face. Because it was happening so quickly, I didn't have enough time to change his expression before I slashed his blade and swept past him.
As soon as I stood still, I took the second very dangerous decision - I wanted to take the initiative to close the distance with him.
Part of the reason I did this was that, since he had that ability, my distancing would be useless; And the other part is because, I was scared just now, I was afraid that I would die under his knife.
So, now I'm going to do the opposite, I'm going to make him scared of me – it's almost instinctive. That's what I've always done. As long as others are afraid of me, it can make me appear fearless. This is my inferior nature.
I turned around, and in the blink of an eye, I burst in front of the swordsman.
At this moment, I am using the unpopular footwork called "shrinking the ground into inches" that I learned from that martial artist during my challenge journey a few years ago.
Although the name of this footwork may sound mysterious, the principle is simple: it is known that master-level martial artists are able to exert strength in square inches and move extremely fast. Therefore, if you apply it to your legs, you will be able to complete the thrusting motion with a fairly short movement. And if you learn this footwork and practice it to the point of perfection, and then show it, others will not be able to see the user's leg movements clearly, but can only see the martial artist himself standing still, but the position in which he is flickering changes to a zhang away, like the spatial transfer of a psyker.
And the same trick, if I cooperate with "turning zero into a whole" to perform, I can increase the distance to ten zhang away.
There's actually a lot of ingenuity involved in this. Even if the psyker wants to imitate it with brute force, it will only change from "rapid translation" to "standing long jump". When it comes to the advantage of this footwork, it is that there is no warning, the suddenness is extremely strong, and the effect of grasping people's consciousness is very strong.
Psionics are also human beings after all, and they are visual creatures, even if they predict that the enemy is about to break through with inspiration, once they see that the enemy is actually coming like this, they are easily caught off guard.
Sure enough, the swordsman's reaction was half a beat slower. I rushed out the punch and it touched his chest.
However, when I met him, his figure disappeared again like a bubble.
Yes, he used the spatial transfer to escape. So where is he now? The answer was that he reappeared close in front of me, and at a distance where my fist couldn't reach him, but he was able to touch me with a blade.
I immediately understood: it really didn't make sense, his "forced double killing" was not only able to approach me, but also to reset the distance between him and me.
And at this moment, the power of the "forced double kill" acted on my body again, making it impossible for me to withdraw the fist that was handed out. Probably withdrawing his fist was also considered evasion, which was probably expected by the swordsman, and almost at the same time as he reappeared, he slashed out his arm towards me with a terrifying slash.
This time, I repeated my old trick, trying to use my hand knife again to slash his demon knife.
Does the same trick work for a swordsman? Will I be able to do it successfully?
I can.
It's not just a swordsman who can progress in battle, and I can too. Also, I'm going to be able to improve faster than him, and I have to believe that I can do it. If I can't do it, it's a dry bone under the knife, and all my pursuits will come to naught here.
Under the gaze of the two of us, the demon knife was once again struck by the hand knife.
Seeing this, the swordsman let out a stunned sound and tried to retreat and regroup.
But, this time, it was my turn to take a step forward, and in an aggressive manner, I took the initiative to step into his sword circle.
This was to keep the pace of the battle for the time being, but I didn't think that would be enough to set the stage for victory, as I had already seen his four psionic clones coming around. My real aim is to buy time, and after a little bit of time, I'll win.
My faith comes from my new tricks. Just now, when I touched his chest with my fist, a small "wedge" had been buried in his body.
It's not fun to sell guanzi here, so I'll just unravel the true face of the "wedge".
The so-called "wedge" refers to the new trick that I have recently created from the further understanding of "turning parts into wholes". I call it the "Inner Seal", and as the name suggests, this trick can cause subtle damage to the transmission structure in the enemy's body, and the more the enemy moves, the easier it is to cause a crisis in the transmission structure of its own transmission structure. To put it simply, in another two or three seconds, he would feel his body suddenly freeze, like an iron rod stuck in a delicate gear machine.
The premise is that I have to survive these two or three seconds......
However, as it turned out, I wasn't so lucky.
In fact, when I saw him use the "Forced Double Kill", I already realized that if he combined it with the Psionic Clone, it would be a super trump card that was enough to inflict a one-hit kill on most super-level psionic beings, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a "lore".
And at this moment, he really used it.
He first eliminated all existing psionic clones, and then launched the third "Forced Double Kill", re-moving himself to the position that included me in the sword encirclement.
Immediately after, he used the trick "Yan Hui" on me, the trick he used on me a few years ago.
This trick still seems to be so numerous, but no matter how many tricks he can change, in the material world, he can still swing it in the end. It's just that after combining psionic energy, the situation is different - I see his body split apart like a ghost, forming eight psionic clones at a speed that seems to be faster than thinking, and they surround me impenetrably.
This is probably the reason why he was able to practice the ability to form bodies, and these clones were actually a combination of Yan Hui and spiritual energy.
Nine demon knives stabbed at me at the same time.
There is no doubt that victory or defeat is not after two or three seconds, but only in this second.
I didn't look at the other eight demon knives. At this moment, I didn't think about anything else, but skillfully struck the blade of the main body with my left hand and attacked him. I'm not fast enough, though. This must have been expected by the swordsman, and I would be pierced by eight other demon knives at the same time.
So as long as I'm fast enough, there's no problem.
The first generation of Yan Hui is a stunt that meets this condition.
The truth of this stunt is actually neither a swordsmanship that is ingenious enough to block all of Swallow's evasion routes, nor is it an ability that cooperates with psionic energy to manifest various possibilities. This is actually unusually simple, a sword that is so simple that it is deeply boring. Its core idea is that since the swallow can respond to the weakest wind and dodge, it is better to shoot the sword faster than any wind.
In other words, the original Yanhui was a supersonic slash that was faster than the vibration of air.
The reason why the sword hero who invented this move had to use the Notai sword with a length of more than three feet was because the attack method of swinging the sword was similar to the circular movement, and the longer the weapon, the faster the end speed.
Although I don't have a knife in my hand, I might as well use my hand instead of a knife at this moment to restore this stunt.
I took the shortest path as fast as I could, and struck my right hand. Because of the high speed, the air in front of the palm edge cannot be avoided in time like a normally moving object, but is constantly accumulating in front of the palm edge and compressed. At the moment when it was compressed to the extreme, the air exploded, forming white water vapor and a huge shock wave out of thin air.
But from the perspective of a normal person, it must be impossible to capture such a fast process, and the most that can be captured is that I suddenly appeared behind the swordsman, and where I was standing, there was only a white mist that suddenly appeared and exploded, and the thunder that exploded inexplicably around it.
As for those psionic clones, they were all extinguished the moment my attack was completed.
I silently put away my sword, then looked at the swordsman. The latter, on the other hand, fell to his knees with a knife in one hand, his chest sunken deeply, and blood gushing out of his mouth. Just now, he only had time to protect his head and throat with the blade, but I still broke his heart and lungs. This man, who was awe-inspiring by the people of the Sakura region and called the reincarnation of the first generation of Iwaliu Sword Hero, was finally defeated by the first generation of Yan Hui by me using the same trick.
"This trick is...... At that time, ......" he vomited blood and looked at me with a frantic expression, obviously he was seriously injured to the point that ordinary people would die immediately, but he was still able to speak, "You actually ...... Really ......"
I said to him, "Back then, I didn't have enough kung fu to show the magic of this stunt with my bare hands, but now you should have understood." ”
As the swordsman said a few years ago, it was clearly just an ordinary swing. Yes, the original Yan Hui is indeed a very ordinary wave, just a very ordinary all-out effort. In terms of skill, it is far inferior to the return of the Yan of later generations, and it is not as good as the return of the swordsman. The reason why it works wonders is only because the timing of my use is right in the heart, and it is also the divine power of "turning parts into wholes".
If there's anything to talk about, it's probably "bare hands". Because of the sword slash attack method, although the closer to the tip, the faster the speed, but the more powerless it is. In swordsmanship knowledge, the part of the sword that is close to the tip of the sword is also called the "weak sword body". This is actually the physical embodiment of the principle of leverage in swordsmanship, a very simple mechanical problem.
Therefore, although the original Iwaliu Sword Hero was able to use the Notai Sword to deliver a blow with the same speed as I had just now, his stamina was far inferior, and he could not smoothly transmit the dark energy, and he could not form a lethal force against a super-grade psionic person like a swordsman at all.
"I ...... In order to avenge you with one arrow, he did not hesitate to become a withered believer...... I didn't hesitate to use that method to gain strength other than swordsmanship, but it turned out to be this ugly ......" He struggled to get up with his sword, "I-"
Suddenly, he fell to his knees again, his eyes widening.
The "inner seal" I had just set in his body had finally worked.
"Let me ask you, what do you mean by 'the touch of an alien god'?" I went up to him and asked about my concerns.
And he couldn't hear it at all, "You monster! I must, I must-"
Seeing him like this, I somewhat stopped expecting it, but continued to ask: "Do you know the 'new blood of the deceased' and the 'suicide note of the fetus'?" ”
"Whatever you want to know, I won't...... Never to tell you, I ......" he said through gritted teeth, "I never, not ...... Die here! ”
Speaking of this, an incomparably powerful psionic light suddenly erupted from his body. I stepped back a distance without thinking, and then watched carefully. But just by looking at it, I understood that the spiritual energy just now was not coming at me, but at the inside of his own body.
Countless wounds and plasma erupted all over his body, and in order to break through my inner seal, he actually did this kind of thing equivalent to detonating a bomb in his own body.
But even so, he didn't die. Not only did he not die, but he was still struggling, running away into the distance. His back is not so much a survival as it is just to escape something that he no longer wants to face and is extremely afraid of.
