Chapter 106: Flaws
Manfang's roar was like the crow of a rooster in the morning, waking Goode from his dream.
That's right, Goode had to admit that he did believe Sora's words just now, and kept thinking about whether he should help the Montessori clan or not, but after hearing Manfang's words, he immediately understood that this was a trap, and it turned out that Sora just wanted to use words to break up the relationship between the three of them.
After Gude figured it out, he immediately shouted: "Hmph! Do you think I will believe it in this way? You lackey of the underworld, I must avenge my master today!"
"Want to avenge your former city lord?" haha......" Sora laughed again, "If you can do it, give it a try!"
"This one called Sora is such a megalomaniac!" Yue Wuya cursed in a low voice, "He doesn't seem to take his opponent in his eyes at all. ”
"That's how he is!" Chen Fan said, "This is how he was when I first met him, and there is nothing unusual about this. ”
"It's just a stinky shelf, these monsters are damn good!"
"He's not a monster!" Chen Fan said lightly, "He's a very strong opponent." ”
"Humans?" asked Yue Wuya, "Why? Aren't the high-level people in the underworld all monsters?"
"I don't know why, but I've fought him anyway and know he's not a monster. ”
In fact, Chen Fan's "I don't know why" has two meanings, the first is that he can't answer Yue Wuya's question: why is he not a monster, and the second is why a mere mortal can have a powerful power that can manipulate the dark forces, however, Yue Wuya only understands the first meaning.
Yue Wuya continued to ask, "Brother Chen, do you know where Miss Luo is now?"
"I guess it's on the top floor of this building!"
"So she hasn't left there?" Yue Wuya said, "I didn't expect her to find such a good hiding place." ”
"I guess she's just hiding in some utility room! that guy can walk anywhere as long as he can live. ”
"Hehe!" Yue Wuya smiled and said, "Then when are we going to start acting?"
Chen Fan replied: "Now is not the time, let's wait for the middle of the martial arts conference to act!"
Yue Wuya nodded and stopped talking.
At this time, a member of the Difu Sect wearing a ceremonial robe and holding a scroll stood on the stage and said loudly: "Hello everyone, my name is Mas, I am honored to be the organizer of this conference. The following is the content of the life and death situation: I show my martial arts on the city tower, and I have a special fight to compete with each other's masters, if something happens in the attack, it has nothing to do with anyone, and I am responsible for all the consequences, and it is over!
There was silence in the audience, and no one spoke up, and Maas said, "Since there is none, now please send representatives from both sides to the stage." ”
Hearing the organizer's instructions, Sora and Rod walked into the ring from both sides, each put their handprints on the paper, and then walked out of the ring.
Maas raised the paper, showed it to everyone present, and said loudly: "Everyone see, this is the life and death certificate signed by the two sides, this life and death certificate will officially take effect from now until the end of the fight, if there are objections, please raise an objection?"
Maas looked around and saw that the audience was silent, so he said: "Okay! Since there is no objection, then the martial arts meeting has officially begun, and before it begins, there is a ten-minute prayer time, and each team is invited to pray for the martial fighters!"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Fan and Yue Wuya saw a beautiful girl wearing a white robe and long purple hair walking down slowly from the second floor.
However, the people of the Montessori clan looked at her with respect and fear in their eyes, as if they were a combination of the eyes of the commoners seeing the king and seeing the ghosts.
I saw the girl who came slowly walked in front of the three of Rhodes, bit her fingers, and drew a pattern of overlapping sun, moon, and stars on the chests of the three of them, and then said: "The original god of my clan will help you to win!"
The three of them also returned a salute and said, "Thank you, Miko-sama." After the salute, the purple-headed girl retreated behind the three.
On the side of the underworld, all the underworld cultists knelt down on one knee, drew a four-pointed star pattern on their chests with their right hands, and then recited the scriptures silently, Chen Fan and Yue Wuya of course did so, and after about three minutes, after the ceremony, all the cultists also slowly stood up.
Seeing that the two sides were ready, Maas came to the stage and said: "Since everyone is ready, then the martial arts competition has officially begun! Now, please invite the first contestant to play!"
After hearing the instructions, the Mengshi clan sent a burly Manfang general, only to see that he was more than two meters tall, holding a giant sword, standing majestically on the platform, he shouted loudly to the underworld: "Underworld's dogs, come up quickly and die!"
Sora smiled and said, "Clay, you can deal with him!"
Hearing Sora's order, everyone invariably looked at Chen Fan's body.
Chen Fan faced everyone's gaze, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that it turned out that the owner of the robe he was wearing, that is, the name of the person who was assassinated by Chen Fan, was called Clay.
In other words, Sora is going to fight this big guy herself.
"Oh no!" Chen Fan was secretly anxious in his heart, now, he was indeed a little conflicted in his heart, he was not worried about how strong this big man was, so that he couldn't defeat it. If he went out to fight him, Chen Fan was 100% sure that he could win this big guy, and what he was worried about was that if he won like this, wouldn't it be equivalent to helping the underworld?
It's better to pretend to lose or draw! That's not good, with the rules of the underworld, those who can't win the game will definitely be executed on the spot, and if they don't want to die, they will fight back, and once they fight back, their identities will be exposed, whether it is the people of the Mengshi clan or the people of the underworld, they will definitely cause chaos at that time, and the plan to save Luo Qingyun will be in vain.
What should I do in the face of this dilemma?
Seeing that Chen Fan didn't react, Sola urged him, "Clay, what's wrong with you?
Hearing Sora's call, Chen Fan had no choice, in order to save Luo Qingyun, he could only step forward, and when he left, Chen Fan whispered to Yue Wuya: "Wuya, no matter what situation you encounter, don't act rashly." ”
Seeing that Yue Wuya nodded, Chen Fan stepped forward step by step, came to Sora's side, and replied in a low voice, "Lord Sora, did you call me?"
"That's right!" said Sora as she handed a long sword to Chen Fan and said, "You can use this sword to make him eight pieces!"
"Obey!" Chen Fan took the sword and walked towards the ring.
Chen Fan thought to himself: It seems that this Sola usually doesn't care about his subordinates at all, and he can't even notice the difference in his voice, but forget it, Sola didn't realize that it was a good thing after all, and he didn't have to pursue so much, the current question is what to do in this battle?
Okay, that's it! Chen Fan finally figured it out, he was standing on the stage, wearing a cloak and a hood attached to the back of the cloak, so that everyone present could not see his true face.
Man Fang pointed at Chen Fan and shouted, "The lackeys of the underworld, why don't you take off the robe that hinders the movement of your limbs? Do you feel that you have done too many bad things, so you dare not come to the public?"
The crowd laughed together when they heard Manfang's words.
Chen Fan lowered his voice and said, "To deal with a reckless man like you, is it necessary for me to take off my robe?"
"What did you say?"
"Bastard Difu! Insulted our Manfang General!"
"Damn, give him some color!"
There was a burst of swearing from the audience.
"Don't be ashamed! Since that's the case, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless, drink!" Man Fang said, raising his big sword and slashing straight down at the top of Chen Fan's head.
Chen Fan immediately felt a burst of pressure pressing down on him, he knew that this big man was not the kind of gangster who bullied the good and feared evil, he was a real gladiator, and it seemed that the title of general was not groundless.
"But strength alone can't defeat me!" Although Chen Fan said this, he didn't dare to fight this heavy blow, but just used his agile body to dodge the attack, and then, quickly stabbed the big man in the armpit.
In Chen Fan's opinion, this sword is undoubtedly hit, because this enemy holds a big sword, although the attack power is strong, but the reaction is definitely not as good as himself, and it is too easy for himself to win this competition by degrees. However, there is a saying that there is always a little difference between theory and reality, and now it has finally come true, but this difference may be more than "a little".
"Dang!"
A metal-to-metal crash sound was heard, and Chen Fan was surprised to see that the tip of his sword was stabbed on the body of the opponent's big sword.
Is there really such a fast speed of sword retraction? At the moment when Chen Fan's idea was born, the opponent's big sword had already opened the tip of Chen Fan's sword and swept over from the left. After a round of offense and defense just now, Chen Fan began to change his opinion of the big man in front of him, it seemed that he was really not an ordinary person, and he began to doubt a little that if he didn't use martial arts, he could really beat him.
But now there is no time for Chen Fan to be stunned, in the face of the giant sword that is sweeping over at a rapid pace, Chen Fan does not dare to slack off, this is not because of the "change" of this big man just now, but because this blow is so fierce that it is unreasonable, in the face of such a strong momentum, Chen Fan almost couldn't even breathe.
Chen Fan didn't want to block hard, but if he didn't use his martial arts to jump, it would definitely be impossible to jump out of the sword's attack range, but if he jumped up, then the next attack would definitely be impossible to dodge or block. Could it be that the other party also foresaw the next blow, so this blow was swept away? Chen Fan suddenly had such an idea in his heart, if it was really Chen Fan who thought so, then this person's combat skills were simply too powerful.
Faced with this "unavoidable" blow, Chen Fan could only choose to block when he was helpless.
"Dang!"
Another thud of metal was heard, and the sound immediately echoed in the tower, and the aftermath was endless.
Chen Fan didn't have time to see the two swords collide, his hands holding the swords already felt very paralyzed, and a powerful impact surged from left to right, and his body involuntarily flew out and crashed into the air on the edge of the ring.
Seeing Chen Fan flying out, the audience immediately heard excited cheers. Originally, in the eyes of Yue Wuya, Chen Fan would definitely win easily, but after such a blow, Yue Wuya was also anxious for Chen Fan.
"Damn, isn't there no wall on the edge of the ring?Why does it seem to hit a wall?" Chen Fan, who was trying to stand up, muttered to himself, he touched the air on the edge of the ring and said: "It turns out that the ring is surrounded by an enchantment-like wall of air power, it seems that the pillars on the four sides are used like this, you can come in from the outside, but if you want to get out from the inside, if you don't win the game, it will be impossible." ”
However, there was no more time for Chen Fan to continue to be surprised, because the man side didn't want to give his opponent a chance to breathe, so he rushed over, raised the giant sword in his hand, and swung it towards Chen Fan's head.
Chen Fan saw the opponent's big sword slashing down towards him, he didn't care about anything, it didn't matter if there was a wall on the edge of the ring at all, what mattered was how to defeat the strong enemy in front of him.
Seeing that the sword was about to slash his head the moment before, Chen Fan immediately jumped sideways.
If it was usual, Chen Fan would definitely make a counterattack to the other party, but now Chen Fan did not do it, not because he was afraid of the big man in front of him, but in Chen Fan's opinion, when he didn't think of the way to break the enemy and didn't know the opponent's weakness, the rash attack would only result like just now, so he thought that what he needed to do now was not to rush to attack, but to carefully observe the opponent's flaws, so he could only choose to avoid it now.
"Good!" Jaed said to Goode beside him, "What do you think of this game?"
Gude next to him said disdainfully: "Hmph! I don't think that guy from the underworld is very good, he can't stop the attack of General Manfang at all, and if he sees it, he can only keep dodging now." ”
Jie De said worriedly: "Although General Manfang's innate divine power is indeed known to everyone in the Mengshi clan, and many years of fighting have made him experienced, I always feel that the sect members of that underworld are not so simple. ”
"I'll just say that you are a woman's kindness, and you are indecisive in judging things, so your character is not suitable to be a patriarch at all, General Manfang will definitely win, just watch!"
"I'm still not very reassured, although that underworld sect member is indeed constantly avoiding the attacks of General Man, and General Manfang seems to have the upper hand, but my heart is always not very steady. ”
"Don't use your woman's kindness to look at this one-sided battle, you better think about how to deal with Sora first!"
Hearing that Goode had such confidence in General Manfang, Jaed stopped talking, and thought: Yes, I should have confidence in General Manfang, now let's think about the countermeasures to deal with that Sora, I must use this silver dragon spear to kill him and avenge my father!
Chen Fan can only choose to avoid the attack of the man side, he keeps jumping back, sideways, jumping up, and across, using all methods to dodge, and his purpose is only one, that is, to find out the opponent's weakness.
Chen Fan kept exploring the path of Manfang's swordsmanship in his mind, and while he was watching, he muttered to himself: "Downward split, horizontal slash, sprint, upward pick, horizontal slash, sprint, down split, up ......"
Chen Fan kept analyzing in his heart: No, he has no clue at all, his sword path is very formal, and there is no place to break through at all......
Of course, usually a warrior will work tricks in order not to be easy to be found out by the other party, and the more complex the tricks, the more difficult it is for others to see through, and the more advantageous it will be when fighting. However, if you do this, because of the variety of sword moves, there may be a gap between the previous move and the next move that are not tightly linked, and the enemy can take advantage of this gap to fight back, and Chen Fan is also waiting for this gap to appear.
However, the enemy's sword moves in front of him are very "regular", and there are not many tricks used to disturb the enemy, "slashing", "horizontal slashing", "sprinting", "picking", these four moves are only the basic moves of the weapon "sword". In other words, the enemy in front of him has been using basic moves to fight against Chen Fan, but this does not necessarily mean that he underestimated Chen Fan's strength, because there is no room for his hands in this kind of life and death match, so his consistent attack mode is only to attack with these four moves.
Due to the simplicity of Man's moves, there was no gap that could not be linked, which made it difficult for Chen Fan to break through for a while.
At the same time, since the man side is using a heavy sword, the attack degree of the heavy sword is originally a beat slower, although the attack power is strong, but what is the use if it misses?
Of course, the man side knows this best, and he knows that in order to make up for this shortcoming in speed, it is not enough to rely on his own strength, so he can only abandon all the "tricks" used to disturb the enemy, and directly use the sword to carry out a simple attack, which is more practical. And years of combat experience also gave him the predictability of the moves that a fighter should have, and mastering how to cooperate with these four moves can force people to a dead end. Therefore, the swordsmanship without gaps, coupled with the innate divine power, coupled with many years of combat experience, it is really better to use the word "powerful" to describe the man side.
However, it is still the same sentence, if he is facing someone who is not familiar with a weapon like "sword", of course this attack can easily win, but he is facing Chen Fan, who has reached the peak of the Earth Demon Realm, and Chen Fan is also very familiar with the way of the sword, so it can be seen that the result is different.
After Chen Fan thought clearly about the enemy's sword path, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately took a few steps back.
Chen Fan had long thought that when the distance was pulled away, he would use the front stab to shorten the distance, so when Chen Fan's sword was about to be stabbed out after the sword was pulled, he immediately half-squatted down and rushed in front of the man side with a lunge.
Man Fang saw Chen Fan use lunges, and his years of experience told him that the enemy in front of him would definitely stab him at close range, so he immediately put away the front stab move and slashed down.
All of this was in Chen Fan's calculations, and when he saw that the sword was about to be split, Chen Fan immediately dodged slightly sideways.
