CH.37 Impeccable Swordsmanship
"Jersey, you are still the son of that count, don't think that you have become the lord of the empire!"
Xia said in a contemptuous tone, hoping to use this to affect the other party's already crazy nerves and cause some obvious flaws.
"Whew!"
Jersey's sword struck a line in the air, not in a straight line, but in a curved arc that made her feel a little more powerful and skillful.
"Very well, you have succeeded in me off."
Jersey tilted his head, suddenly turned his head to Zero and said:
"I'll fight her for a while, and you are not allowed to interfere! Just watch how I beat this little slut. ”
Turning around, he looked at Xia with red eyes, and there was a cruel meaning in his voice: "It occurred to me that it would be a good idea to cut off your hands and feet and hang them on the wall as my collection, of course...... I'm not going to put clothes on a collectible, and I'm going to watch your wonderful body struggle in agony on the wall every day, begging me to kill you sooner. ”
Mom, there's a pervert here! It's still a big perversion!!
Xia shivered, and the alarm bell rang in his heart.
But Jersey didn't strike immediately after speaking, but still stood in place, maintaining that strange sword posture that made people unable to attack.
"The sword in his hand shouldn't be a particularly strong weapon, maybe I can use the sharpness of the long black knife to cut it."
Xia moved under his feet, circling around the other party for half a circle, and did not find a chance to start.
Although her body was familiar with the movements of the battle, she was still inexperienced, and after going around for a long time, she still decided to take the initiative.
"Drink!"
After a loud shout, Natsu approached Jersey from the ground, and the long knife swept across.
"Smack!"
I didn't see how he drew the sword, Xia only felt that his hand sank, and the blade was slapped by something, and he almost couldn't hold it and fell to the ground.
Frightened, she hurriedly jumped backwards, and found that Jersey was still in the same position, but the sword in her hand was aimed at this side, and she was almost about to use a lunge.
"Fortunately, I didn't use all my strength with this knife, and I immediately retreated when I was attacked, otherwise I might have been injured by now."
Xia shook his concussed wrist slightly and changed direction.
"Rock Split!!"
Having learned the lesson of the last time, Xia decided to use a wide range of attacks to test it, but she shouted a rock splitting slash in her mouth, but instead of jumping very high, she used the kind of heavy slash that Lorraine used to slash diagonally downward, covering a range of 180 degrees, plus the length of the blade of the black long knife, so that the people below could not avoid it.
"The Blue Demon can use illusions to create teleportation illusions, you're not a Blue Demon!" The reason why Xia took a relatively dangerous aerial move was because it would create more powerful force and thus make up for the gap between the two.
"Oh?"
With a sneer on the corner of Jersey's mouth, he tilted his head slightly, held the sword in one hand, and slammed it upward!
Xia only felt that the heavy slash she had used nine points of force was suddenly crooked, and she hurriedly withdrew her strength, and the blade reversed to protect her body, but with a flash of white light, her skirt was cut through a long crack.
This is because the other party seems to be light-hearted, but it only scratches her clothes, otherwise her legs are likely to be seriously injured this time.
"Go on, keep attacking."
Jersey looked at her skin exposed by the crack in her short skirt, and her red eyes shone with an evil light.
Damn little slut, I'm going to use my sword to strip you naked here! And then humiliate you in front of Lorraine.
“……”
Xia didn't go to cover up the place where he walked naked, but calmed down and thought about countermeasures.
She has found that the so-called frontal attack is just a stupid method, the opponent's sword is too dense, that kind of airtight defense coupled with a lightning counterattack, so that the current Jersey has become a hedgehog full of thorns, no matter from which direction to attack, he will be easily set up.
Wait, rack, rack......
Could it be that this so-called secret sword technique has any connection with the fighting moves in the ancient martial arts on the earth?
But she didn't learn!
Then she recalled Lorraine's words:
"Xia, raise the blade up a little and keep the blade low, so it's easier to counterattack after defending."
This statement seems to be a bit similar to the sword posture that Jersey is using now, right?
She recalled her own movement against Manticor, the blade moving slowly, her toes tapping, and posing as a frontal parry.
A flash of surprise flashed in Jersey's eyes on the other side.
"How could she have such a sword stance? I see, that bastard from Lorraine must have taught her! ”
Xia held the long knife and compared Jersey's movements, feeling that he seemed to be very similar to the other party, but there was still an indescribable difference.
To use an analogy, the kind of parry method used by the other party is like a genuine version, while hers has a bit of a copycat flavor, which doesn't look like a grade.
"That's it, don't ...... Attack casually and wait for him to come! He should be using a secret sword that has been circulated in the Western Continent, a kind of swordsmanship that specializes in defending against counterattacks! ”
Lorraine's head was already dizzy, his body was covered in blood, and the medical glue he carried with him was only a small bit, not enough to cover so many wounds.
"Lorraine, don't you think you're talking too much nonsense as a dying man?"
Jersey said coldly.
But then he smiled disdainfully:
"It doesn't matter, even if she knows? My strength is already much stronger than hers, can't I attack her if she doesn't come? ”
Lorraine gritted her teeth and closed her mouth.
Now Jersey is just trying to show his strong strength and deliberately tease Xia there, so he didn't make a heavy hand as soon as he came up.
If he really provoked him and let him attack regardless of face, I'm afraid that then Xia would have no chance at all.
"Jersey, you're a dead turtle, you're only going to be in a shell for the rest of your life, aren't you?"
Xia suddenly spoke provocatively.
Don't provoke him on purpose!
Lorraine shouted inwardly, looking at her anxiously.
But Xia didn't see his expression at all, and only listened to her continue:
"Listen to what secret swordsmanship you blow, secret swordsmanship, I think it's just a coward's tactic, just stand there and wait for someone to beat you, did you do the same when you were a child? After being bullied, you squatted on the ground with your head in your arms and cried, begging others to disturb your life...... Do you want me to call your earl's dad for you? I think it's a bit more enjoyable. ”
"Of course, it's useless for you to call Earl Daddy." Xia proudly puffed up her chest, her size was not particularly plump, but it was also very good to deliberately stand up:
"Because I am a princess of the royal family, the King of Westminster will praise me when he sees me, and the queen will say that I am her irreplaceable treasure; A lowly aristocrat like your father, I can scare him to the ground with just one finger, kowtowing and not daring to stand up......"
"You're looking for death-!!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by an angry roar. Jersey raised his sword like a mad dog, the rocky ground under his feet shattered, and the whole person rushed towards this side like a storm!
"Boom!!"
This time the attack was a collision without any tricks, Xia was slashed by Jersey's sword and flew straight backwards, only to feel that the opponent's strength was twice as strong as just now, her arm was completely numb after the impact, and at the same time, there was a sweet throat, and the corners of her mouth were dripping with blood.
"Whew, Whew......"
After unleashing the angry sword, Jersey was also panting roughly, and then the sword in his hand crackled, and a small fragment fell.
Did the ploy succeed?
Xia struggled to stand on his feet, watching as a corner of Jersey's sword shattered, apparently damaged by the hard-fought fight with his own weapon.
"It seems that you are different from those self-righteous idiot noble ladies, you are very smart."
Jersey's gasp calmed down, and he said slowly:
"But I'll let you know that these little cleverness is just a joke in the face of absolute strength!"
As he spoke, he swung his sword violently, maintaining that defensive posture and approaching Natsu.
Faced with Jersey, who had entered that state of no way to start, Xia could only retreat helplessly.
But it didn't take long for her to find that there was no way behind her, only a hard rock wall.
"Why don't you return? Well? ”
With a cruel smile, Jersey said:
"Lorraine, that idiot thinks he can break my swordsmanship as long as he doesn't attack? Did he think that the secret sword that crisscrossed the Western Continent was so easy to break, this was a special one-on-one swordsmanship, how could it leave such a ridiculous flaw! ”
“……”
Xia didn't answer, slammed his feet, and flashed to the side.
Behind her was a rock wall, and she couldn't retreat, so she had to find a way to rush to the open place, so that she could continue to deal with the other party.
But as soon as she took a step, she saw Jersey's figure flicker, and he came to her in his original position, sealing the way back.
"There is not only swordsmanship in the secret sword, but also wonderful footwork."
Jersey looked at Natsu's body, admiring the torn clothes, and said with a hint of pride.
Since that inexplicable promotion, his personality has begun to become moody, he was still angry just now, and now he has become another squinting look:
"I'll admit that what I just said was a bit too much...... Xia, as long as you kneel down and admit defeat now, please me with your body, and then kill Lorraine and Darrow with your own hands in front of me, you will still be my queen in the future, what do you think? ”
"You're hopeless."
Xia said with a shudder.
Then she tried to take advantage of the other man's speech to move again, and Jersey's feet moved in front of her.
The movement was so fast that she couldn't move any more distance if she wanted to.
"It's useless."
A mocking smile appeared on Jersey's face:
"You're not slow, but you don't seem to have learned the orthodox pace of combat, but even if you do? Those shallow combat steps are still vulnerable to my secret swordsmanship. ”
As he spoke, he pressed over again, Xia thought about it, turned his heart sideways, and simply stood there without moving.
Seeing her like this, Jersey was also a little surprised:
Do you think you have no chance of winning and have given up?
Although he was a little delirious, his unusually rich combat experience made him careless, and he slowly moved his steps, and the distance between the two people became closer and closer, and soon the distance was less than two meters.
Just as the two continued to approach and Jersey's breathing began to burn, Natsu suddenly stretched out his left hand and slapped him in the face!
