Chapter 4: A Sword
Zhang Fan didn't care about Zhang Tian and Liang at this time, but was engrossed in the approaching opponent.
Ten steps is the must-kill area for many masters with advantages in actual combat moves, not far from the real sense of close combat, but it is also close to melee combat.
In many fantasy planes, the monks fought each other either from a distance of tens or hundreds of feet, or with a strong physical body. Zhang Fan knows very well that the dozens of times gap brought about by the advantages of the four grades will make the opponent better than himself in terms of reaction, speed, strength, and defense.
If you fall into hand-to-hand combat, you will be killed almost instantly without suspense. There is no chance like some protagonists facing the enemy like the Bronze Saint Seiya Five Little Strong.
This low-martial world seems to be very fortunate to be as fortunate as ancient China without Newton and modern science, after inheriting a lot of Zhang Ruzhen's actual combat experience and knowledge of facing the enemy, Zhang Fan also has the unique computing power advantage of the traverser, that is, he can make a rough deduction and estimation in advance according to the judgment of the opponent's strength and his own strength, to determine which area is the most suitable to shoot. Especially after having the spiritual power of the triple soul, the mental arithmetic ability has also become stronger.
Of course, this is not the plane of the earth, and is the gravitational coefficient roughly close to that of the earth? Are many simple physical laws still applicable? Zhang Fan had a certain amount of practice when he was practicing in the secret room, and the results proved that, just like his intuition, he did not know whether the laws of quantum mechanics and the laws of complex chemistry were still applicable in this world, and at least some basic gravitational relations and even simple laws were still similar.
According to some known common sense of this plane: a master of the peak realm of the seventh rank of the outer gate is about 610 times more than the average top martial artist, and his own mechanical overload and speed advantage are open to the ninth power, which is just over two times or more than two, and the horizontal is probably similar to gravitational acceleration. Gravitational acceleration, which is a bottleneck for outer martial artists who have to rely on footwork to maneuver.
According to common sense, if you use a weapon that is generally suitable for you, that is, the three grades of the outer door, to confront your opponent, and reach the target within a third of the second after the attack at a speed of 50 meters per second, the opponent will dodge a distance of nearly one meter, and the unpredictable horizontal dodge range is at least two meters. This means that under normal circumstances, several of them at the same time at a distance of ten steps may not be absolutely sure to hit the opponent. As for the opponent's reaction time and delay in response, Zhang Fan felt the spiritual power comparable to himself in Zhang Wenyuan's body very early, but he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and directly expected the enemy to be lenient and omitted.
However, if you are using a short sword that weighs no more than a pound or so, and is lighter than the one-handed sword used by ordinary mortal top masters, it is completely different.
Zhang Fan completely put the bottom of the hilt of the short sword in the palm of his right hand, pointed the sword at the opponent, and when he turned sideways to wait for the enemy to attack, according to Zhang Ruzhen's palm method in his previous life, the internal force was slightly raised to block the internal force.
When the distance of the opponent's body was just past the threshold of about ten steps and about fifteen meters, Zhang Fan suddenly mobilized the internal force like a wave to vibrate forward, and his wrist returned to normal and suddenly pushed forward.
The vibration speed of the body, the gushing internal force, and the forward speed of the right palm were superimposed, allowing the short sword of about one pound to obtain a strong crossbow speed roughly estimated at about 100 meters per second. The shooting energy of one blow also slightly exceeded the limit of the third-grade martial artist of the outer gate.
The short sword in his right palm had just flown away, and the moment it hadn't hit his opponent yet, Zhang Fan raised his left arm as fast as he could, so that one end of the shield moved slightly forward. At the same time, try your best to let the internal force continue to gush out and resist the other party.
The light gray short sword, which was painted imperceptibly, did not shine or notice, but it approached Zhang Wenyuan, who had already approached a distance of seven or eight paces, almost in a ninth of a second. Zhang Wenyuan, who had already thrown the sword out of his hand, had no time to block, so he had to desperately dodge to the right side of his body after seeing the sword in the opponent's hand fly out, and used his internal force to move desperately to the right.
However, Zhang Wenyuan's strange body maneuver that could be obtained without relying on the ground still did not allow Zhang Wenyuan to dodge this sword.
The sword, which is not a divine iron, is not too magical and does not have too magical power, and it is not much different from the lethality of the small three-bow bed crossbow used in ordinary armies.
However, even if he is a master of the seventh or eighth rank of the outer gate, he is not a top master or immortal cultivator of divine power and body protection. In front of the short sword with a speed like a strong crossbow, the soft armor of the waist protection was broken, and although it deviated from the center of gravity of the dantian by about two inches, it still hit the body on Zhang Wenyuan's waist.
Perhaps it was the fine soft armor on Zhang Wenyuan's body that played a role, so that the short sword did not penetrate the entire body.
Then what people didn't expect was that the short sword seemed to have a silk link ten steps away Zhang Fan's fingertips, and almost instantly after the hit, it suddenly flew back under the action of internal force and silk, as if the short sword that hit Zhang Wenyuan bounced back from his body.
However, then blood splattered out of the air like a red line, proving it all.
Almost at the same time, the thick long sword of about twelve catties thrown by Zhang Wenyuan before also approached Zhang Fan's waist.
Although the armor protection on Zhang Fan's body is very clever to prepare "key protection", there is no doubt that if he is really hit by the flesh, the huge cultivation gap will make all this useless.
However, this kind of battle is not only in Zhang Ruzhen's memory, Zhang Fan has also deduced and rehearsed countless times before. As early as when the flying sword was launched, Zhang Fan's figure had already relied on the reaction force to offset its position before the opponent's attack arrived.
The subsequent wave of internal force between the right palm, although it cannot effectively kill the opponent at all, is a means to control the distance with the help of the opponent's body.
Skillfully use the recoil and internal force of the flying sword in his hand to hit the strange shock force of the opponent's body that is higher than himself. Despite the lack of footwork and cultivation, Zhang Fan's figure moved slightly more than Zhang Wenyuan in an instant.
The inertia and power of the twelve-pound heavy sword hit the shield that was tilted to cover his side, and the force did not all hit the shield, but it made Ran Zhang Fan suffer a heavy blow. That is, the reaction ability brought by the strong spiritual power made Zhang Fan spin his body instantly, and finally unloaded the heavy touch.
However, this still made Zhang Fan feel a slight difference: the shield used to practice when he was a child did not break in this touch, which was not expected. In the previous drill prediction, he would exchange a minor injury for the opponent's slander, and the grade difference was four levels, which was perfect enough.
However, although Zhang Fan had made many estimates in advance, and in an instant, Zhang Fan had almost used all of his mental power and reaction ability to deal with the enemy. But what the rest of the field can see is that there is only one face-to-face encounter, not even a round. However, Zhang Fan, who cultivated as a third-grade cultivator in the outer gate, defeated Zhang Wenyuan, a seven-grade master in the outer gate who went all out, was cautious, and unexpectedly killed the killer. At a distance of about ten steps, the palm of the sword blends and wins with one blow.
After a close, there was silence. It took a few breaths before someone reacted.
"How is this possible? The victory of the three products of the outer gate over the seven masters of the outer door is really unheard of... ”
"Or is it a one-hit victory from a distance of ten paces or so?"
"Could it be that the third brother has long concealed his previous cultivation?"
"No, I also took a closer look at this one before, the difference between the body and internal strength shown by the two sides is the advantage of the seven or eight products of the outer door and the three or four products of the outer door, how can it be so easy to win?"
Zhang Tian came back to his senses at this time, and finally smiled: "Haha! Okay! I really didn't expect Fan'er to be able to perform so amazingly when he just turned sixteen!"
After that, Zhang Tian said bluntly to the conscription inspector who came: "According to the rules of the outer gate martial arts, no matter what the internal strength and body strength are, if someone easily defeats a master stronger than himself in the certificate of having an official or a famous family in the rivers and lakes, he will obtain the grade of a martial artist who is higher than himself?
The conscription inspector from the Xia Kingdom Imperial Court also came back to his senses at this time, and said excitedly: "From now on, there is another genius boy in my Xia Kingdom Martial Dao, and the future prospects are limitless." Don't say that you can't be a soldier, even if you come to the school officer, you can't arrange it... ”
At this time, many people remembered what it meant for a teenager to reach such a level of combat reaction and even martial arts ability at the age of sixteen. If it weren't for the cultivation of the body itself, it would seem to be a little weaker. That almost means: the ability to become a god across the martial arts.
