Chapter 60: Re-entry into the Tiger's Mouth
The tiger's strength lies in strength and teeth, and the attack power is reflected in the front half of the body; The advantage of a human being is that the body is flexible, the footwork is flexible, and the attack direction is changeable.
The tiger's teeth are poisonous and its tongue has barbs, and if it bites, even a single bite is enough to kill.
Richard warned himself that he must not let it bite.
He was still retreating, and the tiger slowly approached him, and this time it did not rush to attack, but leaned down, raised its head slightly, and its eyes lit up, ready to strike with lightning while others were unprepared.
Richard said: This beast is quite cunning, it wants to sneak up on me. Hmph, look at me.
Richard suddenly turned around and ran towards the edge of the field, as fast as if he were about to flee for his life.
When the tiger saw that the opportunity was coming, the man was defeated and fled, so he decided to take a bold leap and chased after him with a forward jump.
As soon as Richard arrived at the edge of the field, the tiger had already chased behind him, he rolled over, rolled on the spot eighteen times, the tiger was stunned by this action, and before he could react, his front leg had already eaten a knife, and he was about to pounce back, and his hind legs were stabbed again, both of which were cut deeply, and the blood immediately rushed out......
The audience let out thunderous cheers when they saw such a wonderful scene.
At this time, the tiger was a little frightened, and stood there, licking the wound with his tongue, and hissing in his throat.
Richard gained a psychological advantage, as soon as he raised his hand, as soon as the knife flashed, the tiger shrank back in fright, and then raised his hand, and the tiger shrank again, and Richard began to press step by step, and the tiger timidly retreated.
Waiting for a considerable distance, Richard decided to strike a fatal blow, he took advantage of the tiger's unpreparedness, rose up, flipped a beautiful somersault, and turned his body twice in the air, and when his body reached the top of the tiger, he suddenly fell and stabbed the short sword hard.
This sword, impartial, just stabbed the tiger in the back of the heart, the tiger screamed, and the ass twisted twice, but the body was fixed by the short sword, and it couldn't move at all.
After Richard landed, he pressed on the hilt of the sword with all the strength of his body,
Press! Press! Press! Press again! The short sword pierced deep into the tiger's heart, and the tiger looked at its prey with blood-red eyes, and it never understood how this man's sword pierced into its own body.
It struggled violently twice, its legs twitched, its hooves kicked a few times, and it never moved again, and it was dead.
The audience cheered like a tsunami.
Richard was exhausted and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
In the stands, the king was very satisfied, looked at Elizabeth, and exclaimed: "My dear concubine, your idea is really good, this human-beast battle is the most intense I have ever seen, and it is also the most exciting, thrilling!" You see how fascinated the audience is, they don't seem to be able to get enough, is there a more exciting show? ”
Elizabeth shook her head and said, "No." ”
"No, of course." Princess Helena next to her opened her lips and said something.
"The war between man and beast, it's an old routine, I have a man-to-man war, do you want to see it?"
"What, everybody's fighting? My dear concubine, what kind of spooky idea have you come up with with that cute little brain? ”
"I think of someone who can have a showdown with Richard."
"Who is this man?"
"His name is Rodin, and he's my bodyguard."
"Oh, your bodyguard, is that the new fencing champion?"
The king almost said that he was gone: is it your new bedside love?
"Yes."
Helena had a good reason for proposing to let Rodin duel Richard.
The night before, she had met Sauber in the secret room, and Sauber had told her that one of his men had followed Rodin and found that Rodin had not followed the maid at all, but had gone to a nightclub, and had fun all night with some beautiful women. The next day Rodin went to the docks, pretended to be pretend, and asked briefly about the situation, but did not do any decent investigation or visit. On the third day, Rodin went to the casino, took part in a gamble, and in the afternoon went to the museum, walked around, and bought some ancient paintings. In the evening, I walked around freely, bought a few clothes, and only came back on the fourth day.
Sauber had long wanted to squeeze out Rodin and become the princess's chief bodyguard, not only to glorify his ancestors, but also to kiss Fangze. Now his purpose was achieved. So he settled down and sent his men to keep an eye on Rodin, whose every move had already been recorded.
The princess had a soft spot for Sauber for a long time, and she had been coveting it for a long time, but at this moment, she couldn't hold back the flood of spring love, and took the initiative to give her a hug, and Sober was not polite, enjoying this boundless blessing to the fullest.
The next day, the princess dismissed Rodin from the position of chief bodyguard, but did not relieve him of all duties, and for the time being, she did not want to ruin a person's future because of partiality and belief.
Isn't this the right time to test Rodin? Whether he is loyal to himself or not, whether he is trustworthy or not, it will be clear at a try.
She was shrewd in her calculations and called them into a duel. In this duel, either Rodin kills Richard, or Richard kills Rodin, anyway, one person wins and one person dies. Whoever killed the other got rid of her henchmen.
Borrowing other people's temples, crying for one's own fears, borrowing the sword in the hands of others, and getting rid of enemies or opponents are all the highest wisdom and strategies in the world.
The next day, when the carnival continued, Richard appeared again, with a sword in his hand, walking to the center of the arena and standing in front of tens of thousands of spectators.
He doesn't yet know who today's opponent is.
What he never expected was that it was him who appeared on the opposite side-------- today's opponent turned out to be Rodin?
"Buzz" The brain exploded, and Richard suddenly felt that five thunders hit the top, and the heavens and the earth hung upside down, and he was stunned on the spot.
Rodin held a sword in his hand and walked towards Richard.
The two of them stood at a distance of 10 paces, and you looked at me and I looked at you, both speechless in amazement.
Richard's expression was one of misfortune, confusion, and incomprehension; Rodin's expression was one of coping, helplessness and regret.
It's ironic: the last time, because of Rodin's efforts, Richard's early exit avoided a fight.
But the strange fate is not to let them go, after all, they still have to let them fight face to face.
Both of them knew in their hearts that once they faced each other, someone would definitely be injured or killed, because they were both masters in the kendo world.
Rodin knew that she was the outcast of Princess Helena, and she had completely distrusted herself before she would let herself go to the battlefield of fate.
But Richard is a friend who cares for each other, a good man with good righteousness, how can he do it? Can you swing a sword?
At this moment, Richard's heart was also turbulent, and the tide was surging up, facing a person who had helped him, a person who had saved him in a moment of crisis, how could he do it?
Their friendship faces a severe test.
But fate is a foregone conclusion, the script has been written, and the two have to interpret it according to the plot designed by others.
Rodin smiled awkwardly and said, "Richard, you don't have to worry about anything, don't hesitate any longer, show your sword!" Here's my chest! ”
Richard forced himself to laugh and said, "Brother Rodin, I can't attack you, my sword has always been slashed at the enemy, not at my own good brother." ”
"No, don't think so, now I'm not your friend, but your enemy, yes, enemy. There is a bitter hatred between us, we represent hostile countries, hostile camps, we will not stand on each other, think like this, you will not hesitate, come, just stab your sword. ”
"But my sword is so weak, so weak, I seem to be a walking corpse that has been drained of its spirit,
I can't treat you like an enemy anyway, so I have no confidence and no reason to attack. ”
"You must not think so, although I can't help it. But the spectators in the stands didn't agree, the high-ranking officials of the royal family didn't agree, and the princess didn't agree, we didn't have a life-and-death duel, they would never let us go. ”
"A duel to the death? Why, is it true that a noble life is for the pleasure of others? Shameful? Tricks people can do whatever they want? ”
"Yes, yes, fate, this old Diao woman, played a big joke with us, we are chess pieces in the hands of others, dolls in the hands of the rich, and lassoes in the hands of conspirators, we can only accept the mercy of fate."
"Come, brother, swing your sword and stab me in the chest, for we have no choice!"
Richard grasped the hilt of his sword, shook the blade of his sword, and began to attack.
Rodin also met it head-on, without giving in.
The two sides exchanged swords and swords, attacking and defending, and the fight was inextricable for a while.
Neither of them wanted to attack each other's vital parts, so they just made a few false moves and made a few tricks, but on the surface, they had to pretend to be real knives and guns, and they played fiercely.
Where is this a life-and-death duel, it's simply a life puzzle that can't be solved.
Half an hour has passed, an hour has passed, and the winner has not yet been distinguished, and the high and low have not been distinguished.
In the stands, she was already impatient, Helena had already seen her eyebrows, judging from Rodin's performance, he was really a traitor, and she was secretly glad that she had not seen the wrong person.
Elizabeth also saw the clue, what kind of duel is this, is she obviously playing a house?
The king also felt that something was more and more wrong, and he said angrily, "What is the matter? Why didn't these two come for real? What's so interesting about this duel? Pass my orders, if you don't decide the winner within an hour, the two of you will have to die together! ”
The herald came to the center of the field and conveyed the king's will to the two men.
It seemed that they couldn't hide it, and both of them felt that the last moment had come.
The fake fight can't go on, it's time to get real.
Richard asked himself, am I sure I can defeat Rodin? Yes, but I can't win him, I have to let him win me. In a person's life, there will always be a day when he will be open-minded.
Richard took the initiative to attack, and several swords in succession almost stabbed Rodin in the chest.
Rodin dodged quickly, soaring, moving, jumping, jumping, and slashing with his backhand, several swords in a row, and the move did not leave Richard's top door.
Richard bent sideways, dodged his sword, and stabbed Rodin in the forearm with a wave of his sword.
