Chapter 37: Killing the Enemy
Kunlun school martial arts is from the orthodox Taoist heritage, the essence of swordsmanship is to pay attention to the yin and yang, positive and strange complementary, but also rigid and soft, but the Taoist theory is obscure and difficult to refine, many Kunlun beginner disciples do not have Taoist cultivation and only care about the practice of the sword, then they can not experience the subtlety of yin and yang, will feel that the Kunlun swordsmanship is majestic, the swordsmanship is full of killing moves, but I don't know that the same swordsmanship in the hands of Feng Xifan, a grandmaster, but there is no trace of fireworks, all the killing machines are hidden in a three-foot Qingfeng.

After Griman obtained the eighteen styles of swordsmanship instructed by Feng Xifan, his two-handed swordsmanship became more and more ferocious, both the strength of sending and receiving and the speed of returning the sword were increasing day by day, but his swordsmanship only tried to be fierce and ruthless without a trace of restraint, if he could not fight for a long time, he would not be able to continue.
In this regard, Leo is much better than Gryman, after all, he is also a descendant of China, and has been influenced by Taoist culture for a long time since he was a child, and he can understand one or two of various Taoist classics with a little guidance, and Feng Xifan is extremely attentive to Leo's guidance, even if the true disciples of the Kunlun School may not be able to have this treatment. Feng Xifan's teaching to Leo was not based on swordsmanship, but in all aspects such as fists and feet, body techniques, and mental techniques to ensure that Leo could be integrated. Although he was attacked by the guards of the Grand Duke of Wagner in the farm, Leo's swordsmanship may not be as wide as that of Griman, but the exquisite swordsmanship is at least enough to protect his life. Moreover, Leo was flanked by Roman infantry, and even though the Grand Duke's personal guards were well-equipped and numerous, there was nothing they could do to deal with these intruders for a while.
Seeing that Leo was dressed as a noble young man and was protected by soldiers in fine armor, he must have been an important person, and the Grand Duke's guards regarded Leo as their primary target. Not long after, the commander of the Grand Guard's personal guard came in person, and saw that many personal guard soldiers surrounded Leo and the others layer by layer but could not take them, so he couldn't help but stomp his foot in hatred, drew his long sword from his waist, and strode towards Leo.
Leo raised the long sword in his hand, and the starting style of Kunlun swordsmanship, "a pillar of incense towards the sky", blocked a sword that was coming towards him, and took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's long sword was swung open and the empty door in front of his chest was exposed, and the sword in his hand chased after him and knocked the opponent down with a sword. When Leo took advantage of the other party's fall to the ground, he was about to put away his sword and return to defense, but found that the commander of the guard had strode closer, and without saying a word, he stabbed at him with his sword.
Although Leo has been learning Kunlun swordsmanship for several months, he is not very proficient and exquisite, but the foundation is extremely solid, although the situation is urgent and there is no time to collect the sword and return to defense, but Leo is not panicked, and stepped on the Seven Star Step to avoid the attack of the commander of the guard, and also returned to the position that he was originally prominent for killing the enemy back into the battle formation of the Roman infantry.
The commander of the guards seemed to be a little annoyed when he missed the blow, and when he saw Leo retract from the battle formation, even if he rushed straight towards the battle formation, the well-equipped and well-coordinated Roman infantry seemed to be completely ignored by him.
The soldiers of the South had a long history of laxity, and even though the Archduke Wagner's guards were more trained than ordinary soldiers, they were nowhere near as good as the northern frontier armies and even the thieves of the wasteland who fought for survival all year round, and the Roman infantry were able to deal with these guards with ease, and had not even suffered any injuries since the battle.
When the commander of the guards rushed towards the battle formation, the two Roman infantrymen on the left and right did not pay special attention to him. Seeing the commander of the guards raising his sword and splitting, the sword and shield of the Roman infantry on the left and right met it as usual, according to the cooperation of the ordinary battle formation, it should be the shield of the infantry on the right to hold the long sword, and the short sword of the infantry on the left attacked the enemy's ribs, but when the round shield touched the long sword of the commander of the guard, the infantry on the right realized that something was wrong, the strength on the long sword was amazing, and the round shield on the left arm could not stop the slash of the opponent's long sword at all.
With a metal friction of the sparks, the long sword of the commander of the guard pressed the round shield and slashed straight down, fortunately, the infantry on the right saw the opportunity and quickly withdrew the round shield in time, otherwise I am afraid that even the shield arm will be split, even so, the round shield has been split a long crack, almost scrapped.
The infantry on the right withdrew the round shield, and the long sword of the commander of the guard slashed down according to the situation, and it happened to hit the short sword that the infantry on the left pierced directly.
The Roman infantry was shocked, and the two nearby Roman infantry hurriedly exchanged positions with them, waiting to prevent the commander of the guard from taking advantage of the situation to pursue.
The commander of the guards repelled two Roman infantry with only one sword, all of which happened between lightning and flint, Leo retreated to the battle formation and did not take a breath, he saw the crisis of the Roman infantry, as the master, he naturally could not sit idly by and watch his subordinates die, so he immediately raised his sword and attacked the commander of the guard. Seeing that his soldiers were not the opponents of the Guardian Commander at all, Oryx in the battle formation followed Leo to attack the Guardian Commander, wanting to relieve Leo's pressure.
Seeing that Leo did not continue to shrink into the battle formation, but took the initiative to attack him, the commander of the guard couldn't help but smile as if a hunter was watching his prey fall into a net.
The two lives are human, and the original Leo character is cold, so his mind is naturally much more mature and calm than ordinary people, even if he knows that the strength of the pro-guard commander is extraordinary, he does not have the slightest cowardice. I saw the long sword in Leo's hand swinging, and he used a move to "pull the grass to find the snake", and the blade of the sword swayed from side to side, making people not know where to attack. This is Leo saw that the commander of the guard was strong and the sword was heavy, and he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat him, so he first lured the enemy with a false move, if the commander of the guard was confused by this move, then no matter how he parried, he would show a flaw.
Seeing that Leo had dealt with it properly, Feng Xifan, who was originally afraid that Leo would be in danger because of the appearance of the commander of the guards, took a few steps forward, and Feng Xifan, who wanted to reach out for support, nodded secretly and stopped. Although the commander of this pro-guard relies on his physical fitness and actual combat experience, his strength is better than Leo's, but with the swordsmanship that Leo has learned, he may not be able to fall steadily, not to mention that there are Oryx and others on the side to help, it is estimated that there should be no big problem, just take this opportunity to hone Leo's martial arts, it is Feng Xifan who does not interfere in Leo's battle, but lets go of his body, moves left and right, and flies up and down, and the long sword in his hand keeps cleaning up a large area of the besieging Grand Duke's personal guard, so that Leo can rest assured that he does not have to worry about other things。
The Commander of the Guards doesn't care about Leo's false moves, since the left and right sides seem to be the focus of the attack, then the Commander of the Guards will naturally slash through with a sword, no matter how you change.
In fact, in this foreign continent where knights and magic prevail, exquisite moves are useful, but they are not valued by people, and people here exercise martial arts to pursue either absolute strength or absolute speed, and as for the enemy's moves, they are just a few fixed postures, so Griman will be so ecstatic when he gets the eighteen methods of sword style taught by Feng Xifan.
What Feng Xifan was doing behind him, Leo didn't know, all his attention was focused on the commander of the guards at the moment, especially the other party's eyes and shoulders were carefully observed, to ensure that once the other party made a move, he could quickly judge the enemy's movements, which was also the law of responding to the enemy that Feng Xifan had explained to him.
At this time, the commander of the guards slashed horizontally with a sword, and Leo naturally predicted the opponent's movements, and the long sword in his hand was originally a false move to induce the opponent's movements, so the change of moves was extremely fast. At the moment when the Commander of the Guards had just drawn his sword, Leo's long sword was already on the edge of the Commander of the Guards, and it followed the direction of the opponent's force to lead one by one, swinging the sword to the side just when the opponent's strength was not enough.
What Leo used was the first half of the exquisite sword move "Silver Snake Entanglement" in Kunlun's swordsmanship, which was appropriately used by Leo at the moment, such a subtle sword move was unheard of and unseen by the commander of the guard, and he couldn't help but have a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, and he subconsciously took half a step back to avoid being pursued by Leo in the gap. As soon as the commander of the guards retreated in half a step, Leo secretly sighed and counted your fate, originally planning to take the opportunity to turn the "Silver Snake Entangled" into a killing move in the "White Snake Spitting Letter", but he didn't expect the other party to retreat as if he was aware of it in advance, and sure enough, he was still inexperienced and unresponsive to the enemy.
The Commander of the Guards was swung away by Leo's sword and retreated, and Leo did not react in time, but Oryx beside him did not hesitate, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Commander of the Guards to stride up and stab with his sword. Although the Roman infantry had a short sword in their hands, which was more disadvantageous than the weapon, the Roman infantry had their own set of sword skills against the short sword, and I saw that Olix's left hand round shield protected the face and chest below the eyes, which did not block the line of sight and could defend himself to the greatest extent, leaning forward slightly, and the short sword in his right hand pierced the chest and abdomen of the commander of the guard.
As an elite unit of the Roman Empire, Olix has participated in battles with the Carthaginians many times, and can be described as a battle-hardened battle, and the leader of the guard in front of him is obviously the leader of the other party, if he is killed, he may be able to shake the heart of the opponent's army and even make the opponent's soldiers scatter, so Olix plans to kill the other party with injuries even if the commander of the guard can respond in time to defend.
It's a pity that the opponent is the commander of the personal guard of the Grand Duke of Wagner after all, and the elite selected from the many legions in the three southern provinces, even if it is preempted by Leo's exquisite sword moves before and the flaws are exposed, the strength of the personal guard commander is not something that Olix can match. Being forced to retreat half a step back by a noble young man's sword move has already made the face of the commander of the guards a little impressive, and now seeing a soldier on the other side holding a shield and holding a sword straight forward, even a nobody dares to sword against himself, a trace of anger flashed on the face of the commander of the guard, the long sword in his hand stabilized the castration, the big hand holding the sword tightened hard, and the backhand slashed the long sword in the direction of Olix.
Olix saw that the short sword in his hand was about to pierce into the opponent's chest and abdomen, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of joy, although the corner of his eye had already noticed that the opponent's sword had been slashed diagonally, but Olix tightened the shield in his left hand, and the short sword in his right hand was castrated, ready to take the opponent's sword momentum.
Seeing that the soldier didn't care about his long sword at all, and still insisted on stabbing it, the eyes of the commander of the personal guard flashed with surprise, admiration, and contempt, but the long sword in his hand did not change, and slashed heavily on the round shield of Olix's left arm.
The great power was transmitted from the shield to Olix's left arm, and the moment the sword and shield intersected, Olix realized that he had made a big mistake, wrongly underestimating the strength of the other party, and this great force was far from being able to compete with Olix.
With a thud, Oryx was knocked out by the shield of the company, and at this time, Oryx's short sword was just handed to the chest of the commander of the guard, and it had not yet pierced into the leather armor. Olix flew straight out and crashed into the bodies of several Roman infantrymen behind him, colliding with them, but fortunately, Griman behind them was in time to cover and not be taken advantage of by the guards.
Seeing that Olix was slashed away by his own sword, a satisfied smile appeared on the face of the commander of the guard, and before the smile on his face could bloom, he saw several sword flowers suddenly explode in front of him, and a chill spread from the depths of his heart, oh no! It was the aristocratic young man with exquisite swordsmanship just now.
Although Olix's attack didn't work, it at least managed to attract the attention of the Commander, and Leo naturally didn't miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the sword momentum to use the old age to defend after the commander of the guard knocked Oryx into the air, the long sword in Leo's hand trembled, which was the "three levels of night walking" in the Kunlun swordsmanship, and the killing moves were fully displayed.
Leo's sword momentum was extremely fast, his right foot took a diagonal step to the left, and the long sword also stabbed to the left side of the Guardian Commander, who in a hurry retracted the long sword in his hand and turned his wrist slightly, blocking it with a wide blade.
I heard a sound of Zheng, Leo's long sword happened to stab the sword surface of the pro-guard commander, the sword surface was slightly concave inward under the sword momentum of Leo, Leo didn't wait for the pro-guard commander to react, his left foot stepped forward and the sword momentum was deflected to the left, and the blade of the long sword stabbed a spark on the sword of the pro-guard commander, and the long sword was in the middle of the right shoulder of the pro-guard commander.
Since the sword move is called the three levels of night walking, this sword momentum only changes once, and it is naturally not finished, at this time, the commander of the guards endured the pain and opened Leo's sword, but unexpectedly, Leo's body turned slightly to the right, and the sword momentum drew an arc and was handed to the left side of the commander of the guards. This time, the Commander of the Guards never expected, and Leo's long sword pierced straight into the heart of the Commander of the Guards.
Incredible, unbelievable expressions of surprise froze on the face of the commander of the guard, when his sturdy body fell to the ground, Leo breathed a sigh of relief in fear, since following Feng Xifan to practice martial arts, this is the first time that he has won a master with Kunlun swordsmanship, and the joy of this victory is no less than the moment when he just received his university letter.
