Chapter 20 Competition
"Christina?" Xu Mo picked up the wine bottle and said in amazement, "What promise?" ”
"Your Excellency, you won't forget, during the day, you promised me to try your swordsmanship with me!" Christina said with a smile.
"Oh, I remember! But...... Right now? It's too late, if you compare swords, it's easy to hurt people by mistake if the light is not enough! Xu Mo looked at the red-haired beauty who had drunk a lot of wine, and her cheeks were crimson and smiled, "And you have also drunk a lot of wine, when you wake up during the day tomorrow, let's try again!" ”
"Aha, Your Excellency Admiral, you won't be afraid of losing, right?" Christina raised the scabbard in her hand and nodded at Xu Mo, "Okay, my sword is not out of the sheath, in this case, you won't worry about me hurting you anymore!" ”
"I'm afraid you'll get hurt!" Xu Mo glared at the red-haired beauty angrily, "With the stabbing sword in its scabbard, it completely loses its flexibility, and even if you win such a competition, it will be disgraceful." Since you insist on competing at night, let's compete, and if you lose, don't cry! ”
"Hee-hee, who is crying nose!" Christina's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she said with a smile, "Your Excellency, I would like to remind you first, you must do your best when you compete, and you can't make excuses if you lose!" ”
After Christina finished speaking, she put away the smile on her face, looked intently at her hands, and slowly pulled her sword out of its scabbard. In the moonlight, the slender bayonet sword flowed with a cold cold light.
"The sword is good!" Xu Mo's eyes lit up slightly.
The swords in Christina's hands differ from ordinary Western-style swords, which are generally single-edged or double-edged, flat and grooved or ribbed, and 1 meter or more in length. The stabbing sword in the red-haired beauty's hand has no blade, and the whole body is round, like a particularly long needle, less than 1 meter long, about 80 centimeters.
Since Xu Mo entered the superstring space, he had spent a lot of time in the mirror world using cold weapons, but he had never seen such a stabbing sword. Seriously, Western-style swords are not suitable for use on the battlefield, as the overly slender blade can easily break when stabbed, and the light blade is difficult to fatally injure the enemy in the chopping process, and is basically only suitable for private duels between nobles.
Christina's sword went to an extreme, with a round, short body that enhanced the thickness and toughness of the sword, making it less likely to break during a stab, but losing its blade made it only suitable for stabbing and barely having any slashing power.
"Your Excellency, this sword was made for me by a famous swordsmith in London, and the material is made of Burmese steel from the East, and it is 78 centimeters long, and I call it the Elven Needle." Christina held the sword in front of her right hand, and her left hand behind her back, and made a sword salute, with a rare trace of solemnity on her face, "When I compete with swords, I won't keep my hand, please pay attention to this battle!" ”
"Of course!" Xu Mo handed the wine bottle in his hand to Tie Lilie, rubbed his hands, and showed a smile. Christina's solemn challenge finally aroused the young admiral's competitive spirit.
Xu Mo shook his hands and suppressed his desire to use the two golden plot weapons. It was really not suitable to use these two weapons against Christina, and even if he lost the competition, he didn't want to take advantage of the redhead beauty in weapons.
The young man turned his head and looked around at the weapons rack on the deck, intending to find an ordinary sailor knife. Christina watched Xu Mo go around, not in a hurry, quietly waiting for the young man to choose the weapon to take advantage of. However, after Xu Mo picked up a long object on the side of the boat, a trace of anger finally flashed on the red-haired beauty's face.
"Your Excellency, will you use this to compete with me?" Christina pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
"Christina, I also want to warn you not to be distracted by this thing." Xu Mo looked at the thing in his hand and smiled at the red-haired beauty, "The person standing in front of you is the stormtrooper captain among the three giants of Vestelos, and anything is a deadly weapon in my hand." ”
"That'...... All right! Christina was stunned for a moment, then calmed down again, stood on tiptoe slightly, raised her sword parallel to the ground, like a cheetah ready to attack, and stared at Xu Mo.
At this time, Xu Mo did not look at Christina, but looked at the things in his hand a little distracted. What the young man had in his hand was not a weapon, but an iron file on the ship, which was used for timber trimming, and was generally used when repairing ships.
The iron file used to trim the hull wood is different from the ordinary small iron file, which is more than one meter and nearly two meters. At both ends are wooden handles, and in the middle is a flat file about a meter long, shaped a bit like a flat bar. This iron file cannot be used by one person, and when trimming the wood, two people need to pull at both ends of the wood.
Xu Mo was fascinated by the iron file, because he remembered a combat technique that was deep in his memory. He'd been getting this fighting technique for a long time, but he hadn't used it all the time. One was because he didn't have the right weapon for this fighting technique, and the other was that it was very different from the Assassin's fighting style.
When Xu Mo left the Spartan world, he entered the iron-blooded world dominated by Y-space because of the relationship between rescuing Blakeney. On the hunting planet of the Predator World, Xu Mo was favored by the God of Hunting, not only won the title of "Planet Hunter", but also got the combat inheritance of the Predator.
There are many types of combat skills of the Predator, including the use of plasma cannons, the wrist blade technique, and the use of dart throwing nets, but these are not the core combat skills of the Predator. The first weapon that every Predator has been tested with is a spear.
The reason is simple, although the Predator makes a living from hunting, he spurns undignified combat. When they first received hunting training, their instructors would not equip them with high-tech weapons. Instead, these young Predators will be thrown into the low-intensity savage planet with their bare hands, allowing them to make their own rudimentary weapons to hunt the indigenous creatures on the planet.
What is the easiest weapon to get on a primitive planet without any tools? A rudimentary spear made from plant branches and stones, of course. As a result, almost the vast majority of Predators are proficient in the use of spears, and at least more than half of them use spear combat skills as their core martial arts.
The Predator inheritance that Xu Mo obtained, there are many skills that cannot be used due to the lack of corresponding high-tech equipment, and as for the war spear martial arts, they are relatively unfamiliar to him, so they have not been used in actual combat.
However, as Xu Mo experienced more and more high-level battles, this young man, who was originally just a small civil servant, slowly grew into a combat master, and the battle spear martial arts that were deeply in his mind were naturally gradually understood and absorbed by him.
At this moment, when Xu Mo was reluctant to use the two golden plot weapons, and he couldn't fight Christina with his bare hands, he finally remembered this war spear martial art that had never been used, but it was integrated into the depths of his memory.
"Your Excellency Admiral, look at the sword!" Just as Xu Mo was losing his mind, Christina in front of him had already begun to act.
A sword light flashed in front of Xu Mo, grazing his shoulder. Xu Mo was slightly startled, and then smiled at Christina with a slight apology. Just now, Christina was unwilling to take advantage of the danger of others, so she deliberately gave him a sword to remind the young admiral that the competition had begun.
Xu Mo lifted the iron file with both hands, his five fingers were tightly clasped in the middle, the back of his hand was erect~, his right foot stepped forward, and he stabbed at Christina who was retreating.
Christina was startled, and her steps quickly overlapped and retreated, and the young admiral's stab was simple and swift, and the heavy iron file seemed to be nothing in his hand. What surprised her the most was that this iron file, which had never been used as a weapon before, seemed to be very familiar in his hands, and had been used countless times.
In fact, the red-haired beauty doesn't know that this is the biggest advantage of reincarnation, the legalized body, as long as the equipment data and skills are integrated, then the combat skills will not be deformed, as if they have been tempered a thousand times. Of course, this refers to fusion skills that the reincarnation has thoroughly comprehended, not those space-given skills that have only been copied by the soul imprint and cannot be understood by themselves.
When Christina came back to her senses, she found that she had withdrawn from the distance, almost leaning to the side of the ship, at least two feet away from Xu Mo. Seeing the strange look on the young admiral's face, the red-haired beauty couldn't help but blush, let out a coquettish cry, and flew up again.
This time, Christina didn't dare to despise the strange iron file in Xu Mo's hand anymore. Although she had never fought with a spear-wielding opponent, the red-haired beauty, who was gifted in combat, subconsciously sensed that this was a seemingly concise combat technique, but it needed to be honed repeatedly over a long period of time.
A simple stab not only requires the whole body's strength, but also extremely stable hands to ensure accuracy, which is not something that can be done with a random iron spear, and requires thousands of repeated training.
After a moment of fighting, the two slowly became familiar with their opponent's attack routines and shooting speed, and compared with Christina, Xu Mo was even more amazed by the opponent's skillful martial arts. Christina's sword skills gave him a strange familiarity, more of a sword dance than a sword technique.
Xu Mo himself has a kind of assassin's fighting stride, the Shadow Dance. However, the Shadow Dance is characterized by being fast, so fast that even the body is indistinct, like a screen full of Afterimage Dance, while Christina's sword dance is completely different.
In the distance, the iron train watching from the side of the ship was shining with brilliance in his eyes. Under the bright moonlight, the young navigator witnessed a martial arts encounter that he would never forget.
The red-haired Christina resembles a butterfly dancing around a flower, and her light body looks elegant and elegant. The needle-shaped bayonet sword changed with the dance steps under his feet, reflecting a little cold light all over his body. The red-haired beauty is like a rose covered with spikes, full of amazing beauty, but with a sharp edge that people dare not approach.
Her opponent was a different style, the young admiral with a spear in both hands was as immobile as a mountain and as solid as a rock. In the face of a stormy attack, it is often just a matter of exerting all body strength and stabbing selflessly.
However, when this spear pierced, it must be accompanied by a tragic momentum, as if it was like a collapsed mountain, overwhelmingly rushing towards the erratic dancer. Even the Iron Rite Column, who was watching from a distance, could feel the resoluteness and unhesitation of this blow, as if anything that was hidden in front of the spear would be pierced and pierced without any doubt.
At this time, the graceful dancer would avoid this momentum, like a willow branch blown by a strong wind, but as the momentum fell, it would swing back to the young admiral's side, and once again shimmer like a starry sky.
"Dang!" After fighting for a while, Xu Mo's iron file finally touched Christina's sword.
Xu Mo's eyes lit up with a hint of surprise, and in the moment of fighting, it was the first time he had touched his opponent's stabbing sword. Although every time he stabbed his spear, he was able to push his opponent back. However, compared to his opponent's skillful sword dance, the heavy iron file already made him feel a little strained, after all, this was not the way he was familiar with fighting.
Xu Mo pressed the stabbing sword with force in his hand, eager to shoot down the opponent's weapon and end the competition. However, the young admiral didn't notice the beautiful figure opposite, and the corners of his mouth also curled up in a cunning arc, like the crescent moon hanging high in the night sky.
