Chapter 659: Flowing Clouds Fighting Black Feather
At this time, Wu Qiu'er and Lao Wu were fighting fiercely with each other, and the utensils, tables, chairs and benches in the gambling house were flying around.
Shao Xi and Black Eagle were a little puzzled, and said that the four of you will fight when you fight, why do you still bring throwing things?
At this time, Black Hawk also knew that he could no longer interfere in the battle of those four people.
As long as Shao Xi is there, he can only put all his thoughts on Shao Xi, because the most difficult of the three people is standing in front of him.
Shao Xi held the hilt of the sword and pointed it at the Black Eagle with the Yingxue Sword with the scabbard.
said indifferently: "This gambling house is already mine, and now it is beaten and smashed by you like this, and it is I who loses money!" I will not use this sword today, lest it destroy my house. ”
As he spoke, Shao Xi suddenly turned the hand holding the hilt of the sword into a palm shape, and pushed forward towards the tail of the hilt, and the Yingxue sword and the scabbard flew straight towards the face of the black eagle.
Seeing this, Black Eagle just turned his head sideways and dodged the Yingxue Sword that flew towards him.
The Ying Xue sword flew past his face, and the entire sword was stuck in the wall behind him along with the scabbard.
Black Eagle looked at Shao Xi with some consternation.
Taking the initiative to give up the weapon in his hand is a taboo for martial arts cultivators when fighting, and taking off the weapon is equivalent to giving up the advantage of the battle, and he can't understand for a while, why did Shao Xi do this?
But Shao Xi still looked at him with a smile.
Black Eagle couldn't help but ask angrily: "Although I despised you a little before, but now that you are doing this, it is a bit of a pretense, are you trying to humiliate me?" ”
Shao Xi still looked calm, and replied with a smile on his face: "I know that the Black Eagle Gang Leader is now in the six-rank realm, how dare he hold it up?"
"It's just that with the current realm of the gang leader, it is indeed not worthy of dying under this Yingxue sword, but I am not arrogant enough to fight the gang leader with empty hands."
While speaking, Shao Xi had already slowly pulled out the Liuyun Sword coiled around his waist.
When the Liuyun Sword was completely unsheathed, the body of the soft sword kept trembling in Shao Xi's hand, and it was also the eyes of the black eagle that lit up.
Shao Xi's Yingxue Sword was already amazed to him, he could see that it was a unique and peerless sword in the world, and at this time, the Liuyun Sword in Shao Xi's hand knew at a glance that it was not a vulgar thing.
A young man carries two peerless divine weapons at the same time, which shows that this person is by no means an idle person.
Although the soft sword in the opponent's hand looked far inferior to the previous one, judging by Black Hawk's knowledge, this was definitely not something that ordinary people could have.
It's just that Shao Xi said that he didn't deserve to die under that Yingxue sword, which really made Black Eagle feel that the other party was insulting him.
"It's not certain who will die! Your Excellency, don't say it too soon, take it! ”
Before he could finish speaking, the Black Eagle had already stepped forward, and with the force under his feet, he smashed all the stone slabs on the ground.
The whole person's body flew diagonally towards Shao Xi, and slashed out the black feather long knife in his hand with a backhand, directly hitting Shao Xi's waist and abdomen.
His attack line and height are the most difficult angles for the opponent to defend, and the backhand slashes the waist and abdomen, and the opponent's weapon can only be blocked with the backhand.
Moreover, it is extremely difficult for the opponent to exert force in this position, and the effect of blocking is often not ideal, plus what Shao Xi is holding in his hand is a soft sword.
The soft sword is known for its lightness, and the emphasis is on the sword to walk the dragon and snake, and win by skill.
The weapons of the two sides collided at such an angle and position, Shao Xi could not take the slightest advantage, and if he didn't do it well, he would be slashed in the waist and abdomen by Black Eagle's long knife.
If this knife is struck, it will definitely hurt the intestines and cause serious injuries.
It was precisely because Black Eagle took a fancy to Shao Xi's soft sword that he would attack in such a swift and swift manner, in such a direction and at such a height, which made Shao Xi difficult to block.
Shao Xi held the Liuyun Sword in his hand, looking at the Black Eagle's attack like a hungry tiger pounced, and he also knew what he had in mind.
It seems that he does not want to fight with himself with vitality, but wants to fight himself in melee combat, and although this man looks fierce and violent, he is not stupid.
At this time, he should have realized that his martial arts realm could not take any advantage in front of Shao Xi, so he did not dare to use his vitality to attack easily.
After all, this is a great drain on the vitality, and the melee combat is not only to save vitality, but also to penetrate a certain amount of vitality into the weapon, and also to try out the opponent's martial arts realm.
This is a very cautious and smart choice, usually when the martial arts realm of the two sides is quite different, the party with a higher realm generally disdains to fight with the other party in close quarters, and often uses the vitality to make moves in the air, making the other party tired of coping.
However, when the martial arts realm of the two sides is similar, or when the other party is not sure what kind of realm the other party is, the side that takes the initiative to attack adopts the form of melee combat, although it is slightly conservative, but it is also the safest way.
If it was convenient for both of them to do it when Black Eagle and Shao Xi first met, Black Eagle would not hesitate to send a knife to Shao Xi, forcing Shao Xi to deal with it in the air.
But at this time, he didn't dare to be so big, because he had already discovered that Shao Xi's martial arts realm was not below him.
At this time, if he fought with his vitality, he did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to have an absolute advantage until he won in the end.
Therefore, he used the form of melee temptation to fight Shao Xi first, so as to accumulate thick and thin, and find out the details of the other party, so as to make it easier for him to deal with it in the back.
When Shao Xi fought Shi Yong in the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, it was also for this reason that the two sides decided the victory in close combat.
To a certain extent, Shi Yong is indeed kind.
He knew that Shao Xi would have two more battles with Hua Qianhui and Shen Bugai in the future, so he suggested that the two sides should decide the outcome in close combat, so as to retain enough vitality reserves for Shao Xi in the later battles.
From this point of view, Shi Yong can indeed be called a gentleman.
But at this time, Black Eagle did this completely to preserve his strength, he was not sure if he would be able to defeat Shao Xi today, so he had to leave enough room for himself to escape.
At this time, he had no energy to take care of the remaining two brothers.
If he can defeat Shao Xi today, he will naturally be able to say anything, but if he is really defeated by Shao Xi, he can only throw those two brothers here and flee alone.
In fact, when Black Hawk had this thought in his heart, it was already doomed that this battle would end in failure.
A martial arts cultivator, if he does not have the confidence to win when he fights against others, but thinks about how to escape from the beginning, he has already lost one percent first, and when the two sides fight, he will not have the determination to win in danger.
How can you win against people with this mentality?
But at this time, Black Hawk had already developed such a thought, and this thought lingered in his heart, which would make him hesitate to make a move unconsciously, and he had to leave room for himself everywhere.
So at this moment, he slashed out horizontally, which seemed to be swift, but in fact, he also had a force on his wrist, so as to respond to Shao Xi's unexpected reaction.
In this way, his move was not very decisive, and it was precisely because of this that Shao Xi seemed to be more relaxed to deal with.
Don't talk about a life-and-death duel, it is a fight between two ordinary people, if they weaken in momentum at the beginning, then the final result is often defeated by the other party.
And this momentum comes from absolute confidence in yourself, and you must first believe that you have the ability to defeat the other party.
If you don't have this confidence in your heart, you will definitely hesitate to make a move, and you will appear weak and even a little sluggish.
I believe that people who have fought with others in real life have a deep understanding of this.
At this time, the Black Eagle lost this absolute self-confidence, so when he made a move, he lost the momentum of killing decisively.
This kind of thing is invisible to the naked eye, but it can be felt as soon as the two sides fight.
Black Eagle's knife seems to be fierce, in fact, Shao Xi has seen that Black Eagle has a little fear in his heart, this knife is actually just a test of himself, as long as he reacts, the other party will definitely change his tricks halfway.
From Shao Xi's point of view, if Black Eagle's knife was decisive enough, he could really only dodge, after all, the soft sword in his hand could not effectively block this ferocious knife.
Hesitation, indecisiveness means sluggishness, it means slowness, and if the master makes a move, the slow will fall into disadvantage.
Shao Xi faced the black eagle's horizontal slash, but did not choose to dodge, but shook the soft sword in his hand, using the flexibility of the sword body to point directly at the black eagle's wrist when the black eagle was only halfway through the sword.
At the same time, the blade close to the root of the hilt blocked the long knife of the Black Eagle, and this method of blocking was precisely the unique characteristics of the soft sword that Shao Xi used.
If it is an ordinary long sword, the sword body facing down and backhand blocking is an absolute defensive momentum, and it is impossible to counterattack in time.
The soft sword is different, Shao Xi uses the soft sword body itself to bend the entire sword body while facing down with the sword body close to the root of the hilt.
At this time, the entire sword body of the Liuyun Sword looked like a shining ribbon, and rolled up towards Black Hawk's wrist, and the tip of the sword pointed to the Neiguan point on Black Hawk's wrist.
Because the Black Eagle was slashing with his backhand at this time, the Neiguan acupoint was facing downward, and the tip of the sword pointed upwards after the soft sword in Shao Xi's hand was bent.
If this point is hit by the tip of the soft sword, the long knife in the black eagle's hand will definitely get out of his hand, and Shao Xi will block it with the root of the sword body, if Shao Xi succeeds in this move, the black feather long knife of the black eagle will fly out of his hand.
Once you lose the weapon in your hand, there will be no suspense in the next battle between the two sides.
Two people with the same realm, one person holding a long sword and an empty-handed person fighting, who is superior and who is inferior, who wins and who loses is self-evident, then it is self-evident who lives and who dies in the end.
What's more, the actual situation is that Shao Xi is not a grade higher than Black Eagle, but a realm.
Shao Xi's response was something that Black Eagle didn't expect anyway.
He was originally determined that Shao Xi was holding a soft sword, and the two sides used a backhand against a backhand, and the soft sword had no advantage over the long knife that slashed horizontally with a backhand.
But at this time, Shao Xi's move was completely unexpected by Black Hawk, who was originally the party that took the initiative to attack, but at this time, he instantly fell into passivity.
Shao Xi's sword is really tricky enough, and it is both offensive and defensive, both blocking and attacking, and it also has the intention of unloading his weapon.
Black Eagle secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that he did not use all his strength when he made a move, and there was still room for adaptation at this time.
As everyone knows, it is precisely because his knife is not decisive enough that the current situation has been created.
At this time, he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly turned his wrist and used the tail of the handle left behind the handle to block the tip of Shao Xi's Liuyun Soft Sword.
At the same time, the tail of the hilt was used to block the tip of the sword, and the wrist continued to flip upward, so that the blade turned upwards towards Shao Xi's wrist holding the sword, so as to turn the defensive position into an offensive and regain the initiative.
In an instant, it is not easy for Black Eagle to make such a reaction and decision.
And his trick is also very ingenious.
At the same time as the wrist flip, the tail position of the hilt is deflected, and then the force of the wrist flip is used to block the tip of the Liuyun Sword to make the tip of the sword deviate from the direction of the attack.
At the same time, the flipped wrist rotates the blade 270 degrees from the original direction, and the entire blade becomes the back of the knife downwards and the blade upwards, and the rotation of the wrist is reversed upwards.
This trick can also be regarded as a surprise.
It can be seen from this that Black Eagle is indeed a master of making knives, and being able to make such subtle changes in the blink of an eye shows the exquisite skill of his sword.
This change in his sword technique was indeed unexpected by Shao Xi.
Shao Xi didn't expect Black Eagle to respond in such a way, but in an instant, he turned from defense to attack again.
I secretly admired Black Hawk's knife technique in my heart!
With Black Eagle's ability, if he didn't mix in the underworld, even in the Central Plains Martial Arts would be enough to occupy a place.
It's just that at this time, Shao Xi didn't have so much time to praise the superb Black Eagle knife technique, after all, the problem was thrown to him again at this time.
At this time, if Shao Xi withdrew the Liuyun Sword in his hand and retreated, he could completely avoid the black eagle's sword.
But if he does this, he will completely lose this move, how can Shao Xi be a person who easily admits defeat?
Facing Black Eagle's knife, Shao Xi didn't have much choice, the other party's blade had already swept towards his wrist, and if he didn't respond in time, his entire right hand would be cut off.
The competition between the two sides of the martial arts cultivators, especially the duel between the masters, in addition to the solidity of the foundation of the martial arts of the two sides, the subtlety of the exercises, techniques and body techniques, in fact, the most important thing is the adaptability of the two sides when they are about to fight.
Whoever can respond more timely and skillfully in the battle will have the upper hand in the battle.
At this point, Shao Xi has an advantage.
Needless to say, Shao Xi's reflexes are his greatest advantage, and the strange ideas that Shao Xi will come up with at any time are his greatest strength.
Faced with such a seemingly insoluble situation, Shao Xi was able to find the biggest flaw in the knife of Black Eagle.
Black Eagle's knife has one of the biggest problems, that is, it must first use the tail of the handle to complete the block of Shao Xi's sword tip, and then take advantage of the situation to complete the blade up, and this order must not be changed in any way.
If he didn't finish parrying Shao Xi's sword tip first, Black Eagle wouldn't have a chance to pick up the blade, because the tip of the sword would stab him in the wrist.
And this is an excellent opportunity for Shao Xi to take advantage of.
The direction in which the hilt blocks the tip of the sword and the lag of the blade on the edge of the sword are exactly what can be used by Shao Xi at this time.
The corners of Shao Xi's mouth rose slightly, and there was a hint of smugness on his face.
Because he knew that Black Hawk was going to be in trouble next.
