Rhodes is skilled in swordsmanship, but Grom said that there is no such thing as swordsmanship in the world, and it is only when more people use it that this kind of concept is born. The so-called swordsmanship www.biquge.info pen, fun, and pavilion are actually subcategories under martial arts. Martial arts, on the other hand, are a "collection of defensive and offensive actions and techniques" that rely on training or actual combat to master a large number of tactics to deal with the enemy: stabbing, slashing, slashing, and colliding, up, down, forward, backward, left, and right...... No matter what posture the enemy uses or what direction he strikes from, there are bound to be several, if not dozens, ways to defuse it or even skillfully counterattack.

As for the evaluation at the next level, "superb martial arts", it means that on the basis of the previous one, he has also exercised his own pace and precise judgment, and can control the rhythm of the battle to a certain extent, rather than pulling out his weapon and slashing indiscriminately with his blood.

Mastering combat skills and accumulating a certain amount of combat experience is only the foundation, and then it is necessary to distinguish the winner in agility and strength, and only when these three are evenly matched, other factors such as stamina, good or bad weapons, and even luck will affect the outcome of the battle.

......

Both sides have been trained to use weapons for a long time, and Rhodes has slightly less combat experience and uses someone else's weapon, but the agility and strength inherited from his parents completely crush their opponents. Grom taught him how to use every muscle of his body efficiently, relax and relieve spasms between battles, adjust his senses and pulse, and even cope with a lack of oxygen for a short period of time......

Rhodes was so well and systematically trained, but here's the problem: no one ...... Taught him how to deal with the combined attacks of four people at the same time!

The enemy on the right is the first to attack, and a heavy slash is followed by a retreat that sends a teammate to thrust. Rhodes quickly raised his sword to block the first man's attack, flipped his wrist and headed for the second, while striding towards the two men, keeping a distance between them and the two on his left to avoid being besieged.

He perfectly defused the attacks of the two on the right, and even saw the opportunity to raise his leg and kick the second person in a heel fight, but the third and fourth people stuck up at this time, and he didn't have time to mend the knife on the fallen person.

......

With a flash of inspiration, Rhodes barely survived the round, but when the man on the ground who had been kicked down stood up and the four of them took a moment to catch their breath and adjust their rhythm to attack again, Rod instinctively realized that he was in danger.

Every time you face an additional enemy at the same time, the combat skills and physical fitness required to deal with it need to be at least doubled, and the increase in combat power brought by high-quality combos is far from being as simple as 1+1+1+1=4. Without Grom's level of fighting spirit or magical support, it's impossible to deal with four warriors who are good at coordinating and making no mistakes at the same time.

The four black-armored warriors changed their formation - they saw clearly that four against one did not need to cover each other, and attacking instead of defending was the best way. They also learned from the experience of the first round of encounters when Rhodes quickly attacked the two on the right and broke the game, aiming at the teenager's head, chest, back and legs from four directions and different heights at the same time - so that only one or two could be blocked and dodged, and the rest of the attacks were sure to hit.

"Rod!"

It's complicated, but everything happened in an instant, and Dieter only had time to scream in horror, powerless to do anything to help.

Rhodes decided to spin away from two of the attacks, passing through the middle of the third and fourth enemy weapons, which could be done with the advantage of speed, but at the cost of injury.

The first half of the plan went well, and the second half was unmistakable—the tip of a blade slashed from his shoulder through his shoulder blades, cutting through the two thin layers of fabric for his coat and underwear, only to be blocked by the innermost layer of soft white cloth. The combined blow worked, but the enemy was unscathed - a blow that could easily cut through even a thin iron sheet, and only two pieces of cloth were cut?

At this moment when the enemy was surprised and hesitated, Rhodes had already turned around and kept a close eye on the footsteps of the four people opposite: he had successfully broken out of the encirclement and must not fall into it again...... The pain on the shoulder blade was unbearable as if it had been knocked with an iron rod, and the spider silk soft coat his mother gave him separated the blade, but it could not eliminate the power of the sword, it must have hurt the bone, and even the movement of the right arm was a little deformed...... But it can't be delayed, and the battle must be ended while all four of them can't be surrounded and flanked on their own side!

Something is wrong.

Why did only one sword touch you just now?

He quickly observed the black-armored samurai who could have stabbed him but gave up the attack at the last moment, and quickly guessed the reason based on his position: they wanted to capture the girl they were carrying alive, and the fourth person was in a bad position just now, and the girl on his left shoulder blocked his attack route as he turned around, so the other party was forced to withdraw his sword...... You can take advantage of this!

Rod turned around and aimed the girl on his left shoulder at the enemy, charging towards the nearest one.

The black-armored warrior hadn't expected it at all, and he didn't have time to come up with any countermeasures. The teammate next to him wants to launch an attack to contain him, but the target that needs to be captured alive seriously affects his judgment and movement. Rhodes bullied into his opponent's side, and even saw the fear in the eyes of the black-armored warrior's mask, and he stabbed a sword in the stomach, and a scream of pain immediately rang out.

He wasted no time savoring the wails of his enemies, some hidden longing in his body was awakened, and every move that followed came naturally, and the other two were about to reach the range of the attack, and the left spin took advantage of the victory to pursue!

Adrenaline was pouring out like crazy, and he even felt the blood pulsate against his brain as his heart squeezed and transported. The girl's sword in his hand was as light as nothing, and he swung a perfect semicircle, the blade cutting through the enemy's black armor, and blood spilled and splashed on his clothes, which was actually red.

"Rod!"

It was only then that Dieter, with the help of Ryan, broke away from his opponent and rushed to his side, and the hunter repelled a few more men, and the demon wolf roared and charged, knocking down one of the black-armored samurai who had just caught Rhodes and biting the arm of the other, forcing him to abandon the pursuit.

"Don't think about mending the sword, run!" Ruien roared, and the demon wolf quickly jumped and fled, but the black-armored warrior who was knocked away by it swung his sword angrily, and the demon wolf's back was lightly slashed by the sword, and the skin and flesh were suddenly covered with blood.

Rod obeyed the order this time, because of the obstruction of the four people, the dozen or so chasing behind were also approaching, he had tasted the thrilling taste of being hit by the four people once, and saw the fate of the demon wolf being gently rubbed by the sword blade, and he didn't want to joke with his life.

I don't know if it was Ruin and Rod's skills, or the black armor on their bodies that hindered the movement, the pursuers were gradually thrown away, and the location where the enemy was first encountered was out of sight, and Grom's whistling of fighting spirit was difficult to hear.

After a short run, the place where the horses were tied came into view, and Sylna stood on the thick branches of a tree and looked out at them. Although I don't know why, I saw him running with a person on his shoulder, and immediately caught up with him, answered everyone and helped hold the girl that Rod was carrying.

......

"Who is this?"

"I don't know, don't ask, get on the horse!" Dieter cut the rope leading the horse, trying to put away the short knife that had been curled, only then did he remember that his left hand was still tightly grasping a little fox, so he unceremoniously shoved it into the cage next to the saddle of Ryan, "Give that girl to Sylna, she weighs the lightest!"

The female swordsman was the first to mount and with the help of Rhodes got the unconscious girl up, and Sylna held her in her arms, and the group rode towards the town for their lives.
