Volume 1 Dawn Academy Chapter 67 The Nature of Kendo
Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, almost scared to death by Gu Bai's sword just now.
Before Gu Bai took the initiative to distance himself from him, this guy took a few steps back.
Gu Bai frowned, put away his sword and hung down, the two swords just now could be said to be Gu Bai's strongest sword in these three months.
But even so, it still can't break Li Ming's body.
Kendo is known as the world's first attack power, the main attack and killing, a sword can break ten thousand laws, nothing can be broken.
However, the two swords just now did not give Gu Bai this feeling.
Why?
Gu Bai's heart was full of doubts and fell into deep thought.
The essence of boxing and leg fighting is an explosion of strength.
Light strength, dark strength, Mian Jin, dragon elephant strength and many other forces can make the boxing leg gong grappling method more powerful, which can be said to be a deeper use of the boxing leg gong grappling method.
But what is the essence of kendo?
Is it just to kill the enemy with all your strength?
That...... What is the difference between such a kendo and those ordinary people fighting?
Gu Bai had always ignored this problem before, because his sword qi was strong and his physical body was strong, no matter what kind of enemy he encountered, he could directly rely on his strong strength to crush the past, but this was not really a sword, when he really met an evenly matched enemy, this problem was highlighted.
And before, Gu Bai also entered a misunderstanding, he always felt that his sword blade was sharp, his sword qi was powerful, his swordsmanship was mysterious, and his sword body was invincible, which was the strength of the sword.
But if you think about it carefully, these are just an external force for kendo, a kind of assistance, and under this powerful assistance, Gu Bai put the cart before the horse, and little by little he is far from the essence of kendo.
After sorting out these, although Gu Bai's heart was still full of doubts, he gradually returned to the right track and found his true heart.
What is the essence of kendo?
Homicide? Chopping? Puncture?
Wrong.
These can only be said to be the basic abilities of kendo, and a three-year-old child can easily do this kind of thing with a sword.
There must be a deeper essence in this, otherwise why can kendo be called attack first? How can you have the confidence to come out with a sword, and nothing can be broken?
The strength of boxing and leg fighting is the use of force, but what about the sword? How should the sword be used to achieve the indiscriminability of nothing?
A sword can be broken out of the heavens and the earth, and the gods and Buddhas of the heavens can be killed, no matter how strong your defense is, as long as I come out of the sword, then you will die, this is the supreme sword.
It's just that to do this, Gu Bai feels that he still lacks a little comprehension.
What is missing?
Gu Bai fell into contemplation again, and countless thoughts flashed through Gu Bai's mind, but none of them gave Gu Bai a lot of inspiration.
At this time, Gu Bai remembered that the teacher once talked to him, when you have something you don't understand, then abandon all the complexity and return to the most primitive state.
What was the most primitive sword used for?
Could it be that it was invented to kill people?
Human nature is good, killing is incomprehensible, and it is better to use tools.
Things like swords were invented to help human beings and make life more convenient.
In the period of slash-and-burn farming, human tools were only the simplest stone knives, stone swords, and stone axes, but they were such simple tools, but primitive humans could dig mountains and stones, cut trees and build houses, to do this, can only rely on brute force?
Of course not.
Since the invention of the sword, the process of human beings using the sword step by step is actually the process of human beings constantly strengthening the evolution of tools.
From using only brute force to use the sword, to thinking about how to use the sword, and finally thinking about how to use the sword to cut things off more efficiently.
Just to do this, is it enough to keep improving the sharpness of the sword?
Gu Bai looked at the sword in his hand and shook his head, denying this idea.
Because, no matter how sharp the sword is, the things you face are ever-changing, you can cut it once, but you can't guarantee to cut it every time.
How can we ensure that no matter what kind of existence we are facing, we can break it with one sword?
When Gu Bai thought of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that he was about to grasp the essence.
Since you want to cut off, you have to start with the weak points.
Heaven and earth are born, no person and thing are perfect, as long as they exist, they must have their weaknesses.
Gu Bai suddenly realized, but immediately frowned, and thought of a more serious question.
Everyone's weak point must be the strongest place to defend, and even if the weak point can be found, how can it be touched and cut off?
"Maybe ......" Gu Bai muttered: "You don't need to deliberately look for weaknesses, as long as you can do it, the sword is out, and everything in heaven and earth is weak everywhere, isn't it?" ”
Gu Bai figured out this, and his heart suddenly brightened, that's right, this is what he wants to find.
It's just that now to determine this idea, a whetstone is needed.
Gu Bai's eyes looked at Li Ming in front of him, and he thought, isn't this the best tool man?
Li Ming was also looking at Gu Bai at this time, but the point he observed was completely different from Gu Bai.
Li Ming just noticed that Gu Bai's face was constantly changing, and he was very proud in his heart, he thought that Gu Bai was already desperate, so he had such a complicated and tangled expression, so he couldn't help but want to look at it for a while.
However, seeing it now, Li Ming is also tired of it, and the only thing he wants to see now is Gu Bai's corpse.
Li Ming sneered: "It's all said, my head is the strongest defensive place, and you still stab it above, it seems that you really have no brains!" ”
"I'm a tendon, try it, maybe I can succeed?"
Gu Bai figured out the doubts in his heart, and was in a better mood, and said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's a pity, you don't have a chance to try for the third time!"
As Li Ming spoke, he began to gather his strength and prepare for the last attack.
Gu Bai smiled faintly and said, "That maybe!" ”
Li Ming grinned, he actually didn't care at all, his gamble with Gu Bai was purely fun, even if he couldn't kill Gu Bai in the last move, then he could let the surrounding ghouls kill Gu Bai, so no matter how he gambled, the final winner was him.
As for him being killed by Gu Bai, this kind of thing was not in his consideration at all.
However, Li Ming still wanted to try it and see if he could kill Gu Bai with his own hands, after all, revenge with his own hands and revenge on the ghouls were completely different.
The earth roared, and the calamity qi on Li Ming's body was released, and it was connected with the qi of the hundreds of ghouls around him, and the calamity qi in the bodies of these ghouls poured into Li Ming's body without reservation, making Li Ming's own strength rise steadily.
Double, double......
In just three seconds, the strength in Li Ming's body was five times stronger.
This terrifying increase in power made Li Ming look like a mountain, full of oppression.
"It's scary!"
Han Bingning, who was not far away, felt the power surging from the corpse king, and his palms trembled uncontrollably, muttering in horror.
Li Tiannan's face was also very ugly, and the power that emerged from the corpse king's body was enough to easily crush dozens of his four quenching bodies.
"Gu Bai, can you hold it?"
The little confidence that Li Tiannan had just ignited disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, Li Ming moved, waved his fist, terrifying and powerful, and made a sonorous sound.
With a bang, the gravel flew, the sand and dust danced wildly, and all the surrounding trees and other standing things shook violently in this terrifying force breath, and then shattered little by little, and in an instant, the stones flew all over the sky, and the surrounding high-rise buildings were shattered, and they were razed to the ground when they turned around.
Boom!
Li Ming's fist hit Gu Bai's chest heavily, this time, Gu Bai didn't retreat, just stiffened his chest and caught Li Ming's punch.
The power of this punch was amazing, the air was instantly evaporated, everything around it shattered, and the power fluctuations swept out, forming a storm that swirled wildly here, flying sand and rocks.
This terrifying power seemed to directly penetrate Gu Bai's body, and Gu Bai's body exploded directly behind him, forming a fan-shaped crater of thousands of meters, bottomless.
Li Ming looked at Gu Bai, who was no longer breathless in front of him, and sneered, he was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing.
"Dead?"
Li Tiannan could naturally feel that Gu Bai's breath of life had disappeared, and muttered very sadly.
Han Bingning's palms were studying abroad, her eyes were red, and tears couldn't stop flowing, even if Gu Bai had told her not to cry anymore, she still cried uncontrollably.
The rest of the military department also had sad faces, they were sad not because Gu Bai was dead, but because they were grieving, and they had no chance to avenge Gu Bai.
But at this moment, Gu Bai's body suddenly moved, and the breath of life began to recover, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
Li Ming, who was laughing, was choked with fright, coughed violently, staring at Gu Bai, dumbfounded.
"Impossible, how is this possible?"
Li Ming was extremely shocked, that was five times the strength, how could Gu Bai be able to stop it?
Gu Bai bent over, coughing violently, and breathing the air greedily, as if this air was the most delicious thing in this world, which made him obsessed.
Li Ming was startled by Gu Bai bending over, and hurriedly retreated, thinking that Gu Bai was going to make a move, but after seeing Gu Bai's appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Tiannan shouted in surprise: "Not dead, not dead!" ”
Everyone else was also excited, as long as Gu Bai lived, it meant that they still had hope.
Han Bingning wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, clenched his fists with the same excitement, and the back of Gu Bai reflected in his eyes was so bright.
"No dead fart!"
Gu Bai heard Li Tiannan shouting, and couldn't help but complain, he almost died just now.
Li Ming, this guy is also a critic, the last punch actually wanted to use overwhelming force to pour into Gu Bai's body and crush him, this way worked for others, but it was useless for Gu Bai.
He fused the sword into his body, and there was sword qi in the cells of his body, and all the power that entered Gu Bai's body would be absorbed and digested by the sword qi, and then fed back to Gu Bai, so after the terrifying power just now poured into the body, it was quickly decomposed by the sword qi in the cells and then all excreted from the body.
The fan-shaped crater behind him was not caused by Li Ming's strength at all, but was bombarded when Gu Bai discharged his strength.
If Li Ming had directly used the power of his physical body, Gu Bai would definitely be dead by now, but his clever approach spared Gu Bai's life.
It's just that the sudden influx of power is too strong, so Gu Bai will appear in a state of suspended animation.
After escaping from death, Gu Bai felt that the world around him seemed to have become much brighter, the world was so beautiful, the air was so wonderful, he absolutely couldn't live up to it, so he wanted to kill Li Ming.
Gu Bai said with a smile: "It seems that God still favors me and leaves the last trick to me!" ”
The last move did not kill Gu Bai, which made Li Ming very unhappy, looked at Gu Bai, and said with disdain: "Hmph, even if you come, anyway, there is only one last trick left in your life!" ”
Gu Bai raised his sword and pointed at it, and said slowly: "My last sword, you can't stop it!" ”
"Ridiculous!" Li Ming said nonchalantly: "It's all come to this point, and you dare to say such big things!" ”
"Come on, come, I'll stand and let you chop!"
Li Ming beckoned and said with a smile.
He didn't believe that Gu Bai's strength could be stronger than the previous two swords.
Gu Bai held his sword and walked towards Li Ming loosely, without any strength in his body, he looked like an ordinary person.
"What's wrong?" Li Ming couldn't help but sneer: "Did you feel that you had no hope, so you gave up?" ”
Gu Bai didn't speak, so he walked straight in front of Li Ming, three feet apart.
"This sword is used to cut things, and since it is cutting things, how can this thing be blocked?"
Gu Bai crossed the sword and murmured softly.
Li Ming frowned, just wanted to laugh at what Gu Bai said was ridiculous, Gu Bai's sword had already slashed past his neck, there was no power fluctuation, and there was no amazing momentum, just like that, it was simply slashed over, just like ordinary people peeling fruits, easy and natural.
Gu Bai walked behind Li Ming and put his sword into the sheath.
"Hahaha, are you kidding?"
Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, he felt that Gu Bai was like a fool, and he was already incorrigibly stupid.
Li Ming turned around and said disdainfully: "You couldn't kill me with your two powerful swords before, but now with a slight stroke like this, I can die?" It's ridiculous! ”
Gu Bai also turned around, looked at Li Ming, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just wait for a while!" ”
"Trick up!" Li Ming said coldly: "No matter how much you delay time, you can't escape ......"
As he spoke, Li Ming's voice stopped abruptly, and a almost inaudible sound sounded, Li Ming's eyes widened, he suddenly felt that he couldn't control his body, and subconsciously wanted to look up to see why, but what he saw was a scene of rapid falling.
"Knock knock!"
Li Ming's head fell to the ground, splashing dust.
There was no blood flowing out, as if even Li Ming's body hadn't reacted, he was already dead, the blood was still flowing in his body, but his life had gone.
