Chapter Seventy-Two: Nine Steps
"Then teacher, I haven't learned anything other than igniting battle qi and practicing basic swordsmanship. Nalan Xingtian said.
"Igniting the war spirit has a better foundation, which saves a lot of time. Timos said.
"That's fine, I'm afraid there will be any impact beyond this. Nalan Xingtian said affirmatively.
Timos shook his head, he pulled out the wave-breaking knife at his waist, so that the beautiful blade was smooth and re-revealed, I held the knife in my right hand, and my left hand rested on the body of the knife and gently stroked it, from the handle to the tip of the knife, the gentle movement was like stroking a lover's hand.
He muttered: "The knife is a murder weapon, the knife is a murder technique, no matter how high-sounding reasons, no matter how to use beautiful and gorgeous rhetoric to embellish, it can't change this fact, just look at the hands of the user, good and evil are from the heart, this truth, as smart as you, should understand." ”
"I understand, teacher. "Nalan Punishment Heavenly Dao.
Timos looked into Nalan Xingtian's eyes and said, "From now on, I will teach you the sword skills of demon hunters. ”
Nalan Xingtian's heart was full of expectations.
"You have learned swordsmanship, although there is not much difference between the basic five styles, but there is still a difference between swordsmanship and swordsmanship, and the more you master it, the more obvious it is. Timos explained.
"What's the difference between swordsmanship and swordsmanship?" asked Nalan Xingtian, who really didn't know anything about it.
Timos said slowly: "There is a big difference between the sword and the sword, the sword is rigid and soft, can bend and stretch, both offensive and defensive, and is the king of the soldiers, except for the heavy sword, most of the sword bodies are light and flexible, and the swordsmanship is also light and changeable, although the swordsmanship is flexible and changeable, but the basic swordsmanship is only five styles, and you have also learned the five styles of basic swordsmanship." ”
"Although there are only five styles, there are still a lot of subsequent changes. Nalan Xingtian commented pertinently.
"The swordsmanship is light and flexible, and the tricks are tactful and changeable, making it difficult to guard against. Timos said.
"Is swordsmanship really so good?" Nalan Xingtian was puzzled at this time, the teacher who used the knife had been praising the benefits of swordsmanship, so he asked, "What about the sword?"
"There is a big difference between swordsmanship and swordsmanship, most of the swordsmanship are heavy and fierce, and compared with the sword, the sword moves are wide open and closed, and there are fewer changes. Timos said slowly.
Nalan Xingtian was a little puzzled, how could it sound wrong, how could there be a knife master to teach people to use a knife to say bad things about knife skills, he paused: "Teacher, what else?"
"The sword has less changes than the sword, but it can be more calm, less meandering, but more strength, the same move, swordsmanship pays attention to change, but in this change, a lot of strength has passed due to the change of moves, and it is very forceful, and in the end it is only five or six points that fall on the enemy's body. ”
"But the knife is different, the knife goes straight forward, a knife is out, it is to let the body pour all its strength, ten points of strength to use the momentum of twelve, the knife has been out, do not drink the blood of the enemy and never look back. If you practice a knife technique to the extreme, you can break the enemy with momentum and break the skill with strength. The knife is like a cloud, leaving no trace, and the blade is indestructible. ”
When Timos said this, he looked at Nalan Xingtian with an awe-inspiring gaze.
Nalan Xingtian was fascinated when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Teacher, how many styles can that knife technique be divided into?"
"The basic routine of the knife has eight types, respectively, sweeping, chopping, backward chopping, slashing, skimming, jumping, slashing, drawing knife, although the starting move is more than the sword on the three styles, but the follow-up changes are very few, the knife pays attention to a potential, the knife is the potential, the human potential, everything is my potential. ”
"There are so many moves, then how should I learn them" Nalan Xingtian listened to it for a long time, although he was excited, he was even more confused.
"The so-called single knife to see the hand, kill the enemy to see the walk, the first step to learn the knife is to learn footwork. Timos said.
"Footwork?" Nalan Xingtian said with some confusion.
"The rule and the unstable pace is the key to victory, the movement of each step position, the order of movement, direction, and timing are actually regular to find, although the enemy is not so rigid, but the learning of footwork can allow you to have a more flexible position and strong mobility. "Timos's analysis is extremely clear.
Nalan Xingtian sounded reasonable, although he hadn't studied it, but his previous novels and game experiences had taught him how important mobility was.
"Get out of the way. "Timos sheathed his sword.
Nalan Xingtian did as he said and retreated to the side of the martial arts training ground.
"My footwork is called Nine Steps. Timos smiled slightly: "From one to nine, and then from nine to one, the cycle is endless, never stopping." ”
"Look closely, boy. Timos said aloud.
"Apocalypse, turn on recording mode. "Nalan Xingtian secretly gave an order to the apocalypse.
"One is preliminary. "Timos stood on two staggered feet, and his back heel first left the ground.
"The second is a round-trip step. But I saw that his feet alternated in a row, and he walked quickly back and forth in a compact manner.
"Three is alternate steps. Timos leaned forward with his left foot, lifted his right foot off the ground in an instant, and walked forward quickly through the center of his body.
"Four is a circular step. "After Timos has his right foot, he moves his left foot to his right foot, and then his left foot moves again, and his left foot moves in randomly, and so on.
"Five is a step into the air. "Timos took a step forward with his left foot, raised his right foot on the opposite side, then hung his left foot in the air, his right foot was the fulcrum of his body, and his left foot was raised on the opposite side, and so on, as if he were treading snow in the forest.
"Six is the wrong step. "Timos stood with his feet and took a small step forward with his left foot, and his right foot stepped in front of his left foot, and then he took a small step forward with his left foot, and stepped forward with his left foot, and then his right foot after his left foot, and his left foot behind his right foot. The speed is getting faster and faster, and only a shadow is seen under the footsteps.
"Seven is the transfer step. "Timos alternates his left and right feet, with a serpentine step, extremely fast, then suddenly reverses, and then returns to the original place.
"Eight is to walk in circles. "Timos inserted the wave-breaking knife into the ground with the scabbard attached to it, with the wave-breaking knife as the center, moving quickly and numbly, and drawing circles between the footwork under his feet.
"Nine is the flight step. Timos moved quickly, he took Nalan Xingtian as the center, gathered the eight kinds of footwork in front of him, constantly interspersed with dodges, and between the swaying of the footwork, it was like a wave crossing, making people wonder about the indefinite line.
"Set the culmination of nine steps, cast the power of one step, shrink the ground into inches, is for the inch. Timos exerted force under his feet, and his figure disappeared in a flash, he pulled out the Wave Breaking Knife that was inserted in front of him on the ground, and then his speed did not decrease, and he connected the scabbard, crossed the Wave Breaking Knife, and rushed towards Nalan Xingtian.
Nalan Xingtian saw the figure of Timos disappear in a flash, and in an instant, the wave-breaking knife appeared in his hand, connected with the scabbard, and rushed towards him, the terrifying momentum rushed to his face, as if the wind and rain, the stormy waves, layer upon layer of huge waves rushed straight into the sky, cutting through the sky and forcing him directly.
