Volume 1 The Scholar and the Sword Chapter 48 Five Five Open
Geng Han was successfully stabbed in the chest by Qin Zi's set of combos, and he was immediately shocked, and his body technique was displayed, and his body retreated violently.
He felt the tingling pain coming from his chest, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Qin Zi in a defensive posture.
Qin Zi smiled lightly and took the initiative to attack for the first time.
But he didn't rely on his body to close the distance like Geng Han, but maintained a neutral posture, raising his sword to his chest with one hand, and the tip of the sword pointed at Geng Han's upper limbs.
He maintained this posture, moving forward carefully little by little.
Geng Han's brows tightened, such a posture seemed simple, but he couldn't find a flaw.
But gradually, Qin Zi was getting closer and closer to him, and he was about to enter the effective distance.
He set up his posture and prepared to take Qin Zi's attack.
Suddenly, the direction of Qin Zi's sword changed instantly, and the tip of the sword was pointing downward.
Geng Han was startled, and subconsciously went down, but Qin Zi's sword path changed instantly, the long sword reversed violently, and at the same time, his body decreased, and he cooperated with the long sword to slash at Geng Han's sword-wielder with his backhand.
Even the most ordinary standard long sword, its power is not a joke, this blow can cut off his hand in an instant.
Geng Han reacted in time, retreating while barely holding the slash.
The moment the two swords touched, his mind moved, and the sword light on his long sword shone again.
Qin Zi's smile widened, revealing his snow-white teeth.
"Same trick, you want to do it again?"
When Geng Han opened Qin Zi's slash, the direction of the sword blade was determined, and then the sword light shone in an instant, and Qin Zi had already calculated the direction.
With a quick roll, he rolled the opponent's sword path away.
Geng Han's reaction was not slow, and the moment the long sword was rolled away, he immediately drew his sword back to defense.
However, this was still Qin Zi's expectation, he held the sword in one hand, followed the opponent's sword path to open Geng Han's sword again, and then drew his sword to change direction towards the sky, slashing at Geng Han's right outer arm at a tricky angle.
Geng Han hurriedly dodged, but he still couldn't dodge, his right arm was scratched, and blood gushed out instantly.
He used his body technique, pulled away again, gasped for breath, and looked at Qin Zi with a look of horror.
Qin Zi put down his posture and looked at him with a smile.
β¦β¦
Outside the court, Xiao Yuan'er clasped her hands to her chest, and when she saw Qin Zi's advantage, she nodded very forcefully.
On the other side, the senior sisters of Lingyun Peak were much more nervous.
After the first confrontation, Yuan Jing began to frown, and after seeing Geng Han's disadvantage, he sighed helplessly.
"Senior sister, what should I do, it seems that the little junior brother is about to lose."
"Alas, no way, I thought he could change, but is it still too much to take it for granted, personality problems can't be changed overnight."
"Senior sister, what do you mean?"
Yuan Jing looked at the battle on the stage and said casually:
"See for yourselves your swordsmen."
The women raised their hands and looked at their palms, even if they usually took care of them carefully, but the long-term cultivation still made them have a faint layer of calluses on their hands.
Of course, such a cocoon will naturally disappear after the cultivation is improved, but now when the cultivation is low, it is actually easy to grind your hands with a sword.
However, there are countless hardships on the path of cultivation, and even these girls don't feel how hard this is, and they are used to it.
"Senior Brother Geng's hands don't have this layer of calluses."
"Huh? Senior sister, what does this mean? β
Yuan Jing sighed and continued while watching the battle on the field:
"You should have also noticed that Lingyun Peak's swordsmanship is extremely powerful, because our swordsmanship is added to it, and before the physical fitness is strong enough, the more powerful the swordsmanship, the easier it is to grind your hands."
"You are looking at the little junior brother's swordsmanship, have you noticed that his swordsmanship is used only after the sword blade and the opposite side are clashed, which is equivalent to dividing the sword strike and the sword damage into two parts, which will also make his hand feel better."
"It's a habit he's cultivated since he was a child. However, in the end, the sword rays are still blessed with swordsmanship, and they can only be sent out along the blade of the sword. This method makes it difficult for him to change flexibly in the direction of his second attack, which has already been determined. β
"Look at that Senior Brother Qin, not only is his basic swordsmanship extremely good, but he has also calculated the direction of his attack every time, and he can skillfully dissolve his attack every time, which makes Senior Brother Geng always at a disadvantage."
"Won't the little junior brother change the way of using it?"
"Of course he can, so far, it's impossible for the little junior brother to still be unable to endure the pain of grinding his hands on the hilt of the sword, in fact, he can already use it when he usually trains."
"Then why?"
"Because he used to be afraid, he would hesitate before making a move, and he would subconsciously choose a move that would make him feel at ease, even if he can now tolerate the pain that he once couldn't bear."
"Little junior brother, he is not afraid, he is so used to being afraid that he has forgotten that he is no longer afraid of this matter!"
After listening to Senior Sister Yuan's words, everyone could only leave a silence for a while.
Yuan Jing looked at the junior brother who was panting on the stage, and whispered softly:
"Little junior brother, don't you want to change?"
β¦β¦
In the ring, Geng Han felt the pain in his arms and chest, and kept taking deep breaths to adjust his state.
The original stinging pain in the wound had turned into a fiery sensation, and his spirit was so tense that he couldn't even feel the pain.
At such a critical moment, he still couldn't control it, and let his thoughts slowly drift to the past......
That year, the rebels who left the country were everywhere, and the world was in turmoil, and he was taken up the mountain by his fellow senior sister and began to practice.
The memories that were once in the mundane have almost been forgotten, and what remains is nothing but endless suffering.
I still seem to remember that when I first went up the mountain, I seemed to be very timid and cowardly, and when the master said that I wanted to cultivate, I couldn't help but endure hardships, and I secretly hid and cried many times.
He raised his hand and looked at his hands, which were slender and white, not at all like a person who had suffered hardship.
I was always accustomed to associating suffering with childhood experiences, and over time I became accustomed to being afraid.
In fact, he understands all of this, once he didn't want to change, but now, after all, it will be different.
He took a deep breath, his rapid breathing slowing down, and his pounding heart returned to normal.
Since you've gone through so much suffering, it's time to grow up.
β¦β¦
Qin Zi felt the change in his spirituality, and suddenly the smile on his face was even better, and then gradually retracted.
The more silent Geng Han is now, the more spiritually active he becomes, which also means that the closer his plan is to success.
In this case, he didn't want to continue to pick and search and try to control his strength, but definitely fought with him.
Qin Zi stared at him closely, focusing on his whole body, striving to be meticulous and able to detect his every movement.
Suddenly, Geng Han's right leg was tense, his center of gravity leaned forward, his left leg stepped forward, and he raised his sword in his chest, his posture was like a coiling dragon, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Qin Zi narrowed his eyes, he didn't find any difference in the other party's moves, if he was still like this, he still had the advantage of having a better foundation in swordsmanship.
But on the other hand, he carefully observed the other party's spirituality, and sure enough, it was still transformed, so it was impossible to use the same trick.
He took a stand and prepared to defend.
'How are you going to attack it?' β
Geng Han moved.
The sole of his left foot instantly exerted force, sending the whole person flying out like a sharp sword, posing as a cloud-piercing stab, and stabbing at Qin Zi's chest at an extremely fast speed.
But this speed was not much faster than just now, Qin Zi saw through his intention the moment he moved, and moved to the left to prepare to block his straight stab.
However, at this moment, above Geng Han's sword blade, the sword suddenly shone, and the speed of the direct stab skyrocketed.
Qin Zi reacted in time, but he still couldn't dodge, and was stabbed on the right side of his chest.
Before it was over, Geng Han took advantage of the victory to pursue, swung his sword and swept away, Qin Zi dodged backwards, and at the same time raised the sword in his right hand to block the opponent's sweep.
However, he reacted in time, and with a turn of the long sword, the sword light reappeared, slashing downward.
Qin Zi couldn't dodge, and took advantage of the posture of lifting up to force this blow, which directly caused him to not stand firmly, and took a few steps back, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, tilted his head, and then thought of something, and continued to put on a stance, grinning.
Geng Han originally had the upper hand and was a little happy, but seeing him like this, I don't know why, I suddenly felt the pressure of a certain name.
He tried to tense his face so that he did not show his timidity, and despite how panicked he was, he always told himself to be strong.
Qin Zi looked at his gradually chaotic spirituality, pursed his mouth, and then put away his smile understandingly.
Well, to be honest, it's really hard for him to put away his smile from a kid like him.
But it can't be helped, who made him so kind?
Geng Han continued his previous strategy of quick victory and took the initiative to attack.
In fact, his aura couldn't last long, so he could only hold on.
But fortunately, the two of them fought at a fast pace, and there was no situation where the spiritual energy in their bodies was exhausted.
As he began to overcome his cowardly, fear-accustomed mentality, his sword seemed to be a little stronger.
Of course, what is more intuitive is that his tricks have changed more, and even some of the tricks of exchanging injuries for injuries can be used now.
It is also because of this that Qin Zi's parry is not easy.
Of course, it won't be too difficult, as long as Qin Zi keeps changing his body shape and doesn't take his attacks hard, he can actually still support it.
But the problem was that when he directly attacked with the blessing of the sword, Qin Zi's speed was a little unable to keep up.
Although he could see through his attack intent every time, he couldn't keep up with his movements and still had to be beaten.
This is Qin Zi's shortcomings, if it is Ling Qiuheng, who is experienced in swordsmanship, he can set up a game for Geng Han, lure the opponent's moves, and take the opponent's offensive rhythm into his own hands, then no matter how Geng Han's mentality changes, it is impossible to defeat him.
βtingββtuangββdangβββ
The sound of striking iron is endless, well, it is usually Qin Zi who is being beaten.
Finally, Qin Zi couldn't help it, he forced Geng Han back, then retreated backwards, gasped for breath, stared at him fiercely, and said secretly in his heart:
'Damn, you dog doesn't give you any face, so don't blame me for hanging up!' β
