Chapter 545: Sword Swing Situ 5
The first one to come up, Situ Mansion, was a small monk.
The two of them stood thousands of feet away, there was no chance to attack at the first time, there were countless possibilities in approaching each other, countless tactical combinations, and there was no longer a sword instrument where the two swords met, everything was the same as actual combat.
This is a real test of ability.
Kou Cuo was full of confidence, none of them were battle-hardened existences, and at this point, he was confident that his experience was much richer than that of Sikong Mansion Sword Cultivation.
The figure is vertical, and the next moment it has appeared outside the sword journey four hundred zhang away from the opponent; After another vertical, he retreated 600 zhang away, and then approached again, and was already 350 zhang away from the opponent, but still did not use his sword, and continued to open vertically.....
This set of vertical jumps, called step play, is to test the opponent's reaction and the opponent's sword journey through continuous distance adjustment, and find the rhythm point of his own sword; For sword cultivators, the sense of distance is a very important combat element, and a truly proficient master can often mobilize the opponent's emotions just by stepping play, which is not only a test of the monk's escape skills, but also a kind of psychological warfare.
Situ Fu Sword Cultivator is very good at this, and he is especially so.
If both of them are on foot, it's a very exciting chase game to see who can find the first chance to attack as they get tangled up in each other.
In this kind of demarcated battle, the core of the foot play is to occupy the center point, so that the opponent has to be exhausted in fast movement and show flaws in passivity.
Very clever sword cultivation tactics.
But Hou Yu's reaction was very slow, he didn't follow the same trick, but unhurriedly, unswervingly, slowly approaching forward!
There are only two possibilities for this, either you are not good at stepping and seizing opportunities, or you have absolute confidence in your flying sword, believing that your flying sword is faster and stronger than your opponent.
Judging from his performance in the previous two battles, it was obviously not the former, so Kou Cuo had to carefully control the distance and not carelessly fall into the opponent's sword path first.
Ten breaths at the beginning of the battle, the two of them didn't even come out with a sword, which is more strange. Seeing that Kou Cuo was still moving and looking for an opportunity, Fang Zhonghui frowned, "It's not good, Senior Brother Kou is psychologically suppressed!"
Qiang Yongxin, another selector beside him, nodded, "The opponent is getting closer and closer to the center point, why is Lao Kou still jumping around like a monkey?" If you don't attack, you'll lose your position."
They saw it very accurately, and the Kou Cuo in the field was also aware of the problem; has nothing to do with strength, only in terms of mood, and the opponent just made his step play a laughing stock just by slowing down.
Immediately decided, no longer hesitated, and once again when the flying sword shot out at a distance of three hundred zhang, this kind of attack on the edge of the sword path could easily lose the target, but after all, it was a start.
Hou Yu moved, and immediately after Kou Cuo, the flying sword shot out at the opponent; At the same time, the figure did not retreat or move in place, but unexpectedly rushed forward, rushing towards the opponent's flying sword.
Everyone looked nervous, this Sikong Mansion's sword escort Rong didn't care what his real skills were, but he played a good hand and was thrilling, and if he didn't move, he would push the battle to a situation where he would win or lose in an instant.
Kou Cuo deserves to be the top powerhouse of the sword cultivation of the Situ Mansion Tongtian Realm, and his rich combat experience has given him a strong psychological endurance to all kinds of abnormalities, completely getting rid of the influence of the futility of the early stage of the battle, and his body flashed, and the person had disappeared in place.
Attached to the sword, his first blow is not a winning blow, but to get close!
What's even more incredible is that at the same time that Kou Cuo was attached to the sword, Hou Yu was also attached to the sword, and both of them disappeared without a trace, as if they had a spirit and a tacit understanding.
The onlookers were even more nervous, because the focus of the battle was the choice of the haunt point of the two with the shape of the sword, if they both chose the safest far point to appear, then the result would be a shift in shape, and the two would exchange positions and return.
But if one of the two doesn't come in a regular way, it's likely to be a melee encounter!
The comparison is who is more daring, who is more wild!
Such a battle is so exciting, victory or defeat is in an instant! In everyone's wide eyes, the two of them appeared at the same time...
Kou Cuo moved forward two hundred zhang, this is quite a risky forward distance, if Hou Yu is still in place, he will appear within a hundred zhang behind Hou Fu, this is the inseparable distance of the flying swords of the two sides, the next step is to short flying swords to fight each other, whoever flies the sword faster wins, and Kou Cuo is a famous fast swordsman in Situ's mansion.
He succeeded and failed.
Because Hou Yu's conformal sword is not attached forward, but backward!
This is an advanced application of the Shapeless Sword, where the Monk would normally appear at any point in the connection between the person and the flying sword, but Hou Yu practiced moving his body to the reverse extension of the connection.
As a result, they are indeed very close, and when they enter the inseparable zone of the opponent's flying sword, they are too close, not a hundred zhang, but within twenty zhang!
Such a fatal distance will immediately test another key tactical indicator of sword cultivation, who has a shorter stiffness time?
The answer is self-evident, of course, which of the two is more deliberate and takes in the person who is more confident in his stiff time.
Hou Yu's set of movements was smooth, his body shook, and he waved the long sword in his hand, and patted Kou Cuo on the shoulder who had just drawn out the long sword....
The winner is decided!
The onlookers let out a shocking cheer, and at this moment, the so-called estrangement of the three mansions disappeared without a trace in a wonderful sword battle that made people feel happy.
Kou Cuo licked his lips, a little regretful, but there was nothing to say, "I lost, Senior Brother Hou's reverse shapeshifting hand was really beyond my expectations, but what I want to know is, how did you expect me to shift?" How can you tell where I'm appearing?"
Hou Yu smiled, "Senior Brother's first sword is obviously a temptation, and he didn't do his best; I'm rushing forward to force you to shift...... As for distance control, in fact, as long as the senior brother calculates carefully, the position that can appear is limited, and the error will not exceed 50 zhang.....
Still not satisfied, "How do you know I'm going to use shapeshifting? What if I don't move?"
Hou Yu shrugged, "Then hit it directly!" You're not going to retreat in plain sight, are you? This is Situ Mansion, and you are the Situ Mansion Selector, do you have any other choices besides going forward?"
Kou was convinced, "Good swordsmanship! Good judgment! Kindness! Although I have not yet developed a lot of skills, I am convinced!"
In the profession of sword cultivation, the speed of fighting is too fast, and it is difficult to use all his skills to end the battle, so explosive power is very important, and in this sense, he has nothing to disagree with.
