Chapter 4: Draw the sword
Just when Wang Xuan was worried in his heart, Lu Chengfeng finally made a move. He had been silent since the black wolf bandits boarded the ship, and slowly drew the sword in his hand!
Lu Chengfeng's mentality of doing things in a normal way is probably walking on thin ice when he is preparing. Once you really make up your mind to start doing it, you have to be brave and diligent. Because 1,200 years have passed since his own era, and the lightsaber school has disappeared from history, Lu Chengfeng did not come up and do it. He was carefully observing how different the swordsmen of today were from those of the time.
The results were undoubtedly gratifying to him.
Although the times have changed, and the style of swordsmanship has also changed, the fundamental combat power has remained the same. It can even be said that compared to the martial arts of the Heavenly Wind Empire when the hundred schools of thought were contending, the current third-order swordsman is even weaker than at that time. In the final analysis, it was the Blood Moon Tribulation that had regressed the overall strength of the Mofeng Continent.
After determining this, Lu Chengfeng no longer had any scruples.
"Captain, be careful!"
Seeing Lu Chengfeng stepping forward with a sword in a sideways way of holding a sword, it seemed that he was going to directly find the fourth-order bandit, and the guards who were struggling to support him were suddenly shocked and spoke out to dissuade him.
They couldn't be more aware of their captain's half-hanging swordsmanship. A small merchant who has been practicing for more than ten years and is still a second-order, can he be expected to deal with a murderous fourth-order bandit? Now that the captain is still here, they can still hold on. Once Lu Chengfeng is killed, it must be that people's hearts are scattered, and there is no possibility of recovery.
However, the pressure on them was too great for the black wolf bandits.
Although several loyal guards were eager to rush out with them, in front of the bandits who were almost twice as large as them, these guards were also powerless, and could only watch as Lu Chengfeng found the fourth-order.
The fourth-order bandit didn't take Lu Chengfeng to heart at all, he smiled hideously, the fighting spirit on the Tai Dao condensed, and shouted: "Kid who doesn't measure himself, remember, uncle, my name is Zhao Tianhao, and I don't know who killed me when I die!" As he spoke, he stepped forward, the Tai Dao in his hand became simple, and he swung a silver sword towards Lu Chengfeng.
This is the full force of the fourth-order swordsman's blow, and the power is really amazing!
Seeing Zhao Tianhao's move, he showed no mercy, and the surrounding black wolf bandits immediately cheered, and some people whistled loudly: "This kid is finished!"
Compared to the pride of these bandits, Wang Xuan and the guards couldn't bear to look at them directly. In their opinion, their poor swordsman apprentice captain had no chance of surviving under this sword.
But that's how the miracle happened.
In Zhao Tianhao's laughter, Lu Chengfeng's body was slightly on one side, and the stainless steel long sword in his hand shot out horizontally, directly hitting the node where Zhao Tianhao exerted his strength. Originally, with Zhao Tianhao's strength as a fourth-order swordsman, he surpassed Lu Chengfeng by a lot. However, due to the exquisite location chosen, Lu Chengfeng's sword was very light and deflected Zhao Tianhao's sword.
"Such a coincidence?" Zhao Tianhao was a little surprised: "It should be Meng, right?"
However, the former quasi-ninth-order master's shot was not simply a one-step introduction. Without waiting for Zhao Tianhao to restrain the strength of the sword, Lu Chengfeng turned his sword and drove straight in, stabbing directly at Zhao Tianhao's heart!
Feeling the sharp edge of the piercing chest, Lu Chengfeng's pupils shrank rapidly, and he immediately took three steps back with the force under his feet, and got out of the range of this thorn. But before he could take a breath, Lu Chengfeng, who had pierced the air with a sword, stepped forward and stabbed the long sword out again in a clever way. Moreover, with the help of the power of these two stabs in succession, the fighting energy in Lu Chengfeng's body quickly condensed to the tip of the sword, and finally threw it out, giving the bandits who were watching the illusion that the sword body had become longer.
This "throwing" out of the sword qi looked like a fourth-order swordsman's fighting qi was released, which immediately caused an uproar.
This is the third-order basic sword technique of the Lu family of the Heavenly Wind Empire back then, even the Thrust!
This sword technique is not complicated, as long as it is a formal swordsman can master, but the practicality is very good. If it's the first time you encounter it, it's easy to get stabbed because of the wrong distance. Before his rebirth, Lu Chengfeng had used this skill thousands or tens of thousands of times, and he had already reached the point of perfection. Reappeared again at this moment, although the power was far less than before, it was enough to hit Zhao Tianhao by surprise.
The fourth-order bandit thought that he had dodged, but he didn't expect that Lu Chengfeng's fighting spirit attached to the sword actually extended a foot and was stabbed on the spot. Although his astute response allowed him to avoid the key point at the last moment, Lu Chengfeng's stab still left a shallow sword mark on his chest.
Just a little bit ......
"It's dangerous!"
Zhao Tianhao, who had dodged the bad luck of being pierced by a sword, instantly had a fine layer of cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes were afraid, the horizontal knife stopped in front of him, and asked in disbelief: "You are just a third-order fighting spirit, how can you release it?"
"Tianfeng Lu Family's secret sword technique, how can you be an ordinary fourth-order bandit who can be white?" Lu Chengfeng said silently in his heart, but he didn't answer Zhao Tianhao, but the sword body shook and killed him again.
This sharp sword also pointed directly at Zhao Tianhao's vital point.
"I've been with the captain for a year, but I never knew he was so good!"
"Mr. Wang Feng is already a third-order, when did this happen?"
Seeing that Lu Chengfeng forced the fourth-order black wolf bandits back with a simple sword technique, and the fighting spirit he showed was also third-order, the guards couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in their hearts. If the captain can defeat this fourth-order bandit, then he may be able to win this time.
"Dare to underestimate me, damn it!"
Zhao Tianhao, who suffered a small loss, saw that Lu Chengfeng actually took the initiative to kill him, and the little fear in his heart suddenly turned into anger. He was a dignified fourth-order swordsman, and a little swordsman who had just entered the third order actually took the initiative to attack him, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead. If he couldn't kill this kid cleanly today, Zhao Tianhao had already thought about how those bandits would secretly laugh at him when he went back.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tianhao let out a sigh, and the fourth-order fighting qi on his body quickly worked. With the crackling sound of his bones, he pressed it up at a speed that was three points faster than before, and the Taidao in his hand slashed out one after another with thunderous power, and there was a great posture of directly cutting Lu Chengfeng into several sections.
This is a set of wind and thunder sword skills that are quite common on the mainland.
There is nothing special about the sword technique itself, that is, the sword is heavy and fast at the moment of the outbreak, and more than ten swords are slashed out one after another in just a few seconds, connecting into a sword net that is irresistible. Zhao Tianhao has been cultivating this set of sword skills for several years, and he already has a lot of experience. Not only is the speed of the attack like a real gale, but with the blessing of the fourth-order fighting qi, the strength of the sword is even more amazing.
This time, that damn little captain shouldn't be able to escape, right?
But at this moment, something unexpected happened to Zhao Tianhao.
His sword skills were fast, and Lu Chengfeng's reaction was faster. Whenever he struck out with a sword, Lu Chengfeng seemed to see through the landing point of his sword in advance, and avoided it early. Although there were two times, Lu Chengfeng dodged to the limit, and it seemed that as long as he was one or two centimeters short, he would be chopped. But even at that little distance, his sword could never go further!
Amazing battle awareness, beyond Zhao Tianhao's imagination!
At this moment, Zhao Tianhao, who was very confident in his wind and thunder sword skills, wavered. Moreover, at the end of his round of rapid attack, Lu Chengfeng seemed to have known that he was going to be exhausted, and did not continue to dodge when the last knife was slashed, but walked with the sword, no more and no less, and it happened to appear on the trajectory of Zhao Tianhao's knife. The stainless steel long sword in his hand swung out again, and he actually stopped this blow!
"Bang!"
The blade of the sword slammed into a slam.
The hard feedback force made Lu Chengfeng very uncomfortable, the tiger's mouth holding the sword was a little numb, and there was an extra gap the size of a grain of rice on the sword. But Zhao Tianhao's exhaustive sword was still forcibly stopped by Lu Chengfeng smoothly with the power of the third order.
Here's your chance to fight back!
Without waiting for Zhao Tianhao to adjust from this round of rapid attacks, Lu Chengfeng seized the brief opportunity to slide forward, as if he was dancing gorgeously on the ice rink, and slashed out horizontally with a sword in an elegant posture. This slash was extremely fast, and because of the added force of sliding forward, the onlookers had an irresistible feeling.
"This guy is a bit of a surprise!"
The successive setbacks made Zhao Tianhao more vigilant. Seeing that the slash was coming, he immediately held the knife with both hands, bent forward with one leg, shifted his center of gravity downward, and put on the most classic defensive move of a swordsman - block!
This is a move that anyone who learns swords must know, and it can be said that there is no technical content. In terms of the action itself, even a ninth-order sword sect might not be able to do better than a third-order swordsman. However, how to release it at the best time is a great test of the master's vision.
As a fourth-order swordsman who has experienced a hundred battles, Zhao Tianhao's parry is impeccable.
Even if it is based on Lu Chengfeng, who was once a quasi-ninth order, he can't say anything wrong. His own sliding step slash was almost perfectly blocked by him. However, without waiting for Zhao Tianhao, who was guarding this wave, to try to counterattack, Lu Chengfeng, who had already slid behind him, relied on the instant overclocking of his fighting spirit, completed a 180-degree turn with an almost impossible action, and launched a roundabout slash from behind Zhao Tianhao's back again.
The same sliding step, almost zero intervals, opposite attack directions, and more powerful slashes than before!
"How is this possible?"
Feeling the wind and piercing killing intent brought by the slash from behind, Zhao Tianhao only felt as if he was being targeted by a terrifying fifth-order demonic beast dragon man lord, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out behind his back.
Although he couldn't figure out how Lu Chengfeng turned around and counterattacked in an instant under the attitude of sliding forward, he knew that he had encountered a big crisis. Although he hadn't fully recovered from the blocking posture, the strength of the fourth-order swordsman allowed him to make the most correct response at this moment. Desperately straining his muscles, Zhao Tianhao forcibly swung his knife to fight back. This knife was raised diagonally from the back of the right side to the upper left, and the extreme close-fitting swing of Lu Chengfeng's sword.
Blocked!
