Chapter 881 - Losing Two Battles in a Row
In fact, no matter what others think, Pang Bo has always been under great pressure, and he chose to return to the night army two days ago, and Pang Botu will be able to follow Lin Xuanzhong in the future. In the past two days, although I am not used to staying in the army, I am fortunate to be appreciated by the above, and I was able to participate in the competition today. This competition is a good opportunity for him to integrate into the night army, so Pang Bo doesn't want to lose.
In the ring, the weapons of the two kept clashing, and the pressure from the halberd forced Pang Bo to finally choose defense, but unfortunately blindly defending could not get him out of the predicament. It didn't take long for Pombo to take out the spear in his hand more and more times, but it was all because of the opponent's attack. From beginning to end, the halberd brought only pressure to Pang Bo.
Due to the continuous suppression of momentum, it didn't take long for Pang Bo to finally lose because he couldn't resist his opponent. Looking at the whole competition, it cannot be said that Pang Bo's strength is not strong, it can only be said that Duan Hu is obviously superior, and Pang Bo deserves to lose.
When the referee announced the results, Lin Xuanzhong didn't care that they lost a game, and his thoughts were still on the competition between the two just now. For a period of time, the martial arts battle between Pang Bo and Duan Hu completely subverted Lin Xuanzhong's cognition, and the use of long weapons was completely different from that of short weapons. If you meet someone like Duan Hu who is good at long weapons, it is a question whether the Eight Desolation Steps can play a role.
A long halberd is used well, just like using two short weapons, if the defense is done properly, it is like two people who cooperate with each other to fight with one person, recalling the scene just now when Duan Hu used a long weapon to open the bow left and right, it is not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to think that if the person with the long weapon is allowed to take the initiative, it is not only difficult for a person with a short weapon to take the initiative to attack, but it is also difficult to even defend well.
It is true that the speed of a single attack with a long weapon is not fast, but if you use both ends together, it is as flawless as if it were cultivated into a sword. When he felt more and more that the characteristics of long weapons were prominent, Lin Xuanzhong then thought that if someone reached the sword body level in the use of long weapons, they would definitely be able to use the characteristics of long weapons to weaken some of the advantages of their body skills, so that a higher level of body skills would be needed to deal with those high-level martial cultivators who were good at long weapons.
To put it simply, if you can fight against ordinary high-level martial arts cultivators when you cast five steps and eight desolations, then you have to practice six steps and eight desolations to be able to fight against people who are good at long weapons, this is the idea that Lin Xuanzhong came up with in a short period of time, as for whether it is correct or not, it still needs to be verified, but no matter what, Lin Xuanzhong did not come in vain today.
"Dare to ask General Lin, is that General Ruan the original prince of the Wing Kingdom?" Before the start of the third competition, as the person in charge of the Lei Army's side, Yang Ting took the initiative to talk to Lin Xuanzhong.
"Exactly," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised that the other party would know Ruan Yi's identity.
"That's really a coincidence, the person who fought with General Ruan was Chen Song, the eighth prince of our Lei Kingdom. Since it is a duel between the two princes, General Lin must cheer up," Yang Ting said, and there was a little more smile on his face as he spoke, I don't know if he was laughing at Ruan Yi or really happy about this coincidence.
"I see," replied helplessly, and Lin Xuanzhong guessed all the meanings that the other party wanted to express. Immediately after, the two men in the ring below fought. Ruan Yi used a short sword, Chen Song used a long spear, and the duel between long and short weapons attracted Lin Xuanzhong's attention. Just now, Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about how to verify some of his inferences, and now the following competition can just help Lin Xuanzhong, so Lin Xuanzhong will not miss the contest between Ruan Yi and Chen Song.
Not long after, under the referee's order, a wonderful duel directly began. Because Chen Song used a long weapon, it was the main attack from the beginning, a long spear rotated flexibly in his hand, and he attacked Ruan Yi again and again, and the attack direction of the spear could not be judged according to Chen Song's gestures at all.
On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong had seen Ruan Yi's swordsmanship that was no worse than Zhang Jiutian's, but under Chen Song's attack, Ruan Yi seemed to be difficult to defend, and he had been in a state of suppression, unable to reflect his superb swordsmanship, and finally could not even show the characteristics of short weapons that could be used flexibly. However, it seems that Chen Song's performance now is no stronger than Pang Bo just now, and this discovery made Lin Xuanzhong pay more attention to Chen Song's movements.
It didn't take long for Lin Xuanzhong to notice that Chen Song's spear looked difficult to wield, but in the case of the strength of the two sides, it was precisely because of the length of the spear that Chen Song's speed was faster, as long as Chen Song could predict Ruan Yi's next move, or continue to suppress Ruan Yi's strength, Chen Song's speed would always be faster than Ruan Yi. In addition, because the length of the two weapons is different, the speed of the two sides is even more different.
Originally, I thought that long weapons were not flexible, but the advantages of long weapons were so obvious, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I might really suffer if I met someone who was good at using long weapons in the future, after giving birth to such a feeling, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised to think that he didn't have a way to fight against long weapons, so he quickly shifted his attention to Ruan Yi.
In Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, Ruan Yi should know very well that he has been under Chen Song's suppression, and he is likely to be defeated by the other party with one move. Since this is the case, Ruan Yi will definitely find a way to deal with Chen Song's offensive.
Soon after Lin Xuanzhong's inference was made, Ruan Yi's movements changed, and after forcibly widening the distance between him and Chen Song, Ruan Yi unexpectedly quickly narrowed the distance between him and Chen Song, as if he intended to catch the other party off guard.
Of course, Ruan Yi's idea is not so simple, since the other party can suppress himself with the advantage of long weapons, Ruan Yi can also use the advantage of short weapons to restrain the other party. In any case, Chen Song obviously didn't expect Ruan Yi to approach him unexpectedly when he seemed to want to get rid of his suppression.
Caught off guard, Chen Song directly faced Ruan Yina's continuous attacks. A short sword kept changing its moves, hitting more and more fierce attacks, Ruan Yi picked on the weak point of the opponent's defense, and Chen Song retreated again and again, and was almost hit by Ruan Yi a few times. Fortunately, Chen Song is not an ordinary person, although Ruan Yi did play some advantages, but Chen Song's movements were never flustered, and his body did not appear unstable because of Ruan Yi's attack, which can be regarded as easy.
In the face of such a strong opponent, after continuing to attack for a while, Ruan Yi kept sweating from his forehead. At this point in the competition between the two, Ruan Yi already thought that if he couldn't play for a long time, he would only face defeat when the other party discovered his weakness and found the opportunity to counterattack.
When he realized that maintaining the current offensive was not enough to win, Ruan Yi not only increased the speed of his attack, but also increased the power of his attack at the same time, hoping to expose the flaws of the opponent who fought with it, but unfortunately Ruan Yi obviously miscalculated, and as Ruan Yi's speed accelerated, Chen Song's way of responding to the battle also changed.
Just as Lin Xuanzhong imagined just now, Chen Song's hands stopped in the middle of the gun, and then kept using the blade or handle of the gun to resist Ruan Yi's attack. Under the flexible swing of the spear, Chen Song, who was constantly improving his strength, blocked Ruan Yi's attacks again and again, so that no matter how Ruan Yi strengthened the offensive, it was in vain.
Not only blocked Ruan Yi's attack, but Chen Song also gradually widened the distance between him and Ruan Yi by using weapons in this way. After turning defense into offense, Chen Song seemed to see through all of Ruan Ming's routines, the rhythm of the spear swing in his hand was significantly accelerated, and he became more and more flexible, after performing some clever moves with the spear like Duan Hu just now, because Ruan Yi's momentum was weakened, Chen Song defeated Ruan Yi in one go.
When the referee announced the results, the audience area was boiling, and the soldiers of the Thunder Country applauded, on the other hand, those night soldiers, whether they were new or old, were in a low mood, and after losing two games in a row, everyone realized that as long as they lost one more game, today's game would be over directly. And judging from the situation of losing two games in a row, one by one I still feel that they have little chance of winning. On the other hand, Lei Jun's side seemed to have this in mind, cheering one by one.
"General Lin, you have to be careful, if you lose one more game, today's competition will end early," Yang Ting spoke to Lin Xuanzhong with a smile on his face, as if he wanted to see how worried Lin Xuanzhong would be about the current situation, but still like before, Lin Xuanzhong didn't care about the result of the competition.
"General Yang couldn't help but be happy too soon, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. Although you and I will meet friends with force this time, it is too early to say what the result will be, "With a calm face, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to deal with the other party, but he couldn't ignore the other party."
"Since General Lin has such confidence, we will be relieved, just now I am really worried that I won't be able to watch the fifth game!" The next time, without waiting for Yang Ting to speak, another Lei Army commander was stimulated because they had won two games in a row, and intentionally or unintentionally asked for an explanation for Lin Xuanzhong's neglect of them before.
"Everyone is so interested in the competition of the people below, I will accompany the two of them to watch it," the other party seemed to be interested in showing off to himself, and Lin Xuanzhong had no choice but to respond.
Not surprisingly, Lin Xuanzhong's deliberate appearance of being superior made those Lei Army generals very dissatisfied again, but they couldn't blame Lin Xuanzhong for not, because the people who were competing in martial arts were indeed much worse than them. At the same time, Zhou Wenfeng and the others saw that Lin Xuanzhong was dealing with many thunder generals alone, and they did not fall behind at all, and they were amazed by Lin Xuanzhong's bearing.
While he was talking, the two people who participated in the fourth game had already played, Liu Jiang on the Lei Army's side against Longmu on the Night Army's side.
Long Mu is a new general of the Night Army, with a cold face, a calm and abnormal temperament, and a thin figure that gives people a feeling of extreme arrogance. On the other side, the man named Liu Jiang was domineering and arrogant, and when the two stood in opposite positions, they had a momentum duel before the fight began, which made the onlookers feel tense. Such a fierce atmosphere made the competition even more eye-catching.
