Chapter 4: The Time for Youth (4)
The shock that the sword just now brought to the head of the sect Gao Yuanshan was really too great, and he didn't even consider that this sword came from a ten-year-old child. Although there was a certain factor in his injury that he was careless and underestimated the enemy, the threat of this sword was real.
This sword came from Su Mu, who was not yet ten years old.
In addition to being fast, it is clean. Like the owner of the sword, a clean child without a trace of impurities can stab such a sword move. If there is the slightest hesitation in this sword or the foreshadowing of subsequent changes, it will become a sword move that will fail to the extreme. The experienced head Gao Yuanshan will dismantle its changes in an instant, and then counterattack and control it.
But no. At the moment when he blocked Gao Yuanshan's eighth style of starting hand, he directly counterattacked the inner elbow with his backhand, seizing what can be said to be a fleeting opportunity, defeating the enemy with one sword, leaving no room for it, it seems that it is not a move that will appear in swordsmanship practice at all, but it seems to be a trick used by a swordsman who has experienced tempering and killing purely for the sake of killing. So resolute, so chilling. Only someone with a tenacious sword soul and a pure sword heart can do it, let alone have such a fast speed.
From a child who only has a refining body, Su Mu.
And the head Gao Yuanshan didn't know that Su Mu saw that the sword was about to rub against the elbow of the head Gao Yuanshan in the process of counterattacking and stabbing, but he hadn't dodged yet, and in a hurry, he forcibly reversed a trace of the sword momentum, and finally let the head Gao Yuanshan dodge, if it weren't for this, maybe it wouldn't be as simple as just scratching a little skin.
The head Gao Yuanshan didn't know what to say for a while. Only Su Mu, who was at a loss, was embarrassed on the spot. Gao Yuanshan didn't seem to know what he was thinking, Su Mu couldn't guess it, but he didn't expect that he could hurt Gao Yuanshan, although it was only a slight injury, but this was his master after all. Su Mu thought that the powerful Gao Yuanshan would dodge easily while smiling, and said to himself, a little faster, a little more ruthless. As a result, things unfolded beyond the child's expectations.
After thinking for a while, Gao Yuanshan said to Su Mu, "Child, let's try again." ”
Su Mu saw Gao Yuanshan's eyes and immediately understood what he meant.
Gao Yuanshan did not choose the basic move this time, and even directly crossed the mid-level move, and directly used the absolute high-level move in the Hanshan Sword Technique, the sword dragon pierced the heart.
Use the sword to transform the dragon, infuse the true qi to increase the sword momentum and killing area, and take the rigid move from the opponent's chest from the front. It is one of the few moves in the Hanshan Sword Technique that breaks the enemy head-on with a sword technique of calm defense and counterattack.
Of course, this time, the head of the sect, Gao Yuanshan, used his true qi, and he directly used the true qi of the Tongmai realm, and he crossed two realms at once, just to make the sword faster and more fierce.
Facing this sword, Su Mu was obviously taken aback, he had never seen such a move in the middle-level moves he had seen so far, so this was either a high-level sword move, or Gao Yuanshan's self-created sword move.
And the speed of this sword was also quite in contrast to the slow sword before, in Su Mu's impression, he had never seen such a fast and fierce sword technique.
Gao Yuanshan regretted it a little the moment he made a move, the opponent was just a child in the body refining realm, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't directly use the true qi of the cross-border realm plus high-level sword moves to forcibly suppress it, he was a little too much.
After all, the high-level sword move had never even seen this kid, which was almost equivalent to testing Su Mu's on-the-spot reaction.
But Gao Yuanshan still had no intention of retracting the sword after all, on the one hand, he wanted to test what kind of anti-heaven kendo understanding this kid had, and on the other hand, he was also confident that he could stop his hand before it hurt him.
When facing this sword that he had never seen before, Su Mu seemed to have a new feeling.
The difference between high-level sword moves and basic sword moves is that sword moves seem to be direct, but in fact, they contain several to hundreds of variations, so the deduction in the mind of a master's move is far more complicated than the fight in actual combat.
For ten-year-old Su Mu, although he has recently read a large number of swordsmanship Taoist classics, he has almost no experience in actual combat, so when he encounters this kind of sword move that he has never seen before, he cannot deduce from experience, and can only rely on on-the-spot reactions to passively parry.
Fortunately, Su Mu felt that the speed of this move was still not fast enough.
When the sword momentum was about to touch the range of Su Mu's garrison, Su Mu jumped back suddenly, and then held the sword horizontally in the air, protecting his front range.
This decision is not right or wrong, it is just Su Mu's first reaction.
Because it is impossible to accelerate the luck twice in the process, the longer the distance, the more weakened the sword momentum of the stegosaurus, and the possibility of change in the process will gradually decrease. Of course, Su Mu, who had keen senses, also discovered this, so he decided to retreat first.
Until Su Mu could deduce all the ways in which it had changed.
Sensing that the time was ripe, Su Mu kicked the ground with his hind legs in the retreat, suddenly braked, and caught the sword that had been greatly weakened, although the power of true qi was still sore, but after all, he calmly set aside the sword path, and when Gao Yuanshan wanted to turn the sword over and split back, he swung it from the bottom up, towards the blind spot of Gao Yuanshan's vision, and the part under his armpit.
This sword started from the bottom, directly cut through the dirt of the back mountain, and drew a beautiful arc in the air with the broken grass, once again grazing the back of the head Gao Yuanshan, who was still turning over.
After Gao Yuanshan was blocked by the first sword, he was already secretly amazed at Su Mu's performance in his heart. In the face of the sword moves that came from unknown sources and changed a lot, Su Mu did not conceited and directly solved them, but patiently waited for the sword momentum to weaken and change before acting, which was already a very good response. But he still underestimated Su Mu's follow-up actions, because the sword was too strong and too deep, and the stegosaurus piercing heart had to cooperate with the backward turn in order to collect it safely, without being counterattacked by the true qi. Of course, Gao Yuanshan also knows that his back is in a defenseless state when he rolls over, but most of the attacks against turning over are from the top or middle lane, and this kind of bottom-up swing is completely unguardable.
After two sorties, Su Mu was unscathed, and he had two more wounds on his body.
Moreover, the second attack was still based on the premise of suppressing the true qi that far surpassed Su Mu, and used a high-level sword move that Su Mu had never seen before, but it was still perfectly cracked and accurately counterattacked.
This is no longer something that can be described as a simple genius.
Monsters, this is a monster at all.
At this time, Yin Yu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was even more excited, although she was the first to know that Su Mu was very talented in swordsmanship, but she only knew how high it was, and she didn't know how high it was. Now seeing that Su Mu could even hurt his master twice in the competition, the excitement in his heart couldn't be suppressed.
Brother Mu is really amazing!
The second sword that Su Mu had just stabbed made the head Gao Yuanshan confirm that the first sword was definitely not a fluke, this sword seemed to have borrowed the residual power of his stegosaurus, which was a little faster and sharper than the first sword.
One sword is more ruthless than the other, one sword is fiercer than the other, and the sword is almost aimed at his blind spots and dead ends, Gao Yuanshan can't believe that Su Mu can swing such a sword, these counterattack moves, he has never taught him. Generally speaking, children learn swords from standardized basic movements, lay a good foundation, and only after the age of fourteen or fifteen are they allowed to swing the sword relatively freely. In this way, the sword is calm and unchaotic, and the movements are more standard and sharp. You can maintain your power even when you don't follow the sword moves.
And at the moment, he didn't teach at all, and the moves that didn't exist in the basic movements at all, this kid used them extremely naturally and fluently.
It's like an innate instinct.
Could it be that this kid's current swordsmanship realm has completely surpassed the senior uncle in the sect?
Thinking of this, Gao Yuanshan did not hesitate, and once again took the sword to kill the past, this time it was not a simple attack of competition, but directly used the true qi cultivation at the peak level of the Tongmai Realm, no longer using rigid moves, and directly swung the sword to kill Su Mu.
For general sword competitions, the recorded combination of sword moves is only a small part of the competition. For most of the competition, the two swordsmen had to test each other by freely drawing their swords, looking for weaknesses, and then using sword moves at the right time to defeat the enemy.
In other words, the free sword temptation is actually the basis of the kendo competition.
In this link, the two sides compete in the on-the-spot reaction and the understanding of kendo swordsmanship, because they are not standardized sword moves, and can only be predicted instantaneously through the posture and strength of the sword. When the difference in the realm of kendo is too large, there is no need to use standardized sword moves at all, and the winner and loser have already been determined in the trial link of free sword.
Su Mu naturally read this truth in the Daozang.
Although it was not explained, at the moment, Gao Yuanshan was no longer obsessed with sword moves and reconciliation moves, but directly used more powerful true qi to attack Su Mu and start a free competition, which meant that Gao Yuanshan really treated Su Mu as an equal opponent.
The next competition will be a real sword fight!
Su Mu's blood burned all over his body. He enjoyed it!
For the first time, children who used to have a well-behaved and quiet personality felt that in addition to looking at the stars, the swordsmanship competition was also very interesting.
This time, the head Gao Yuanshan directly raided Su Mu's side, and the addition of the true qi at the peak of the Tongmai Realm to the physical body was too obvious, and the gap between the two sides in terms of physical abilities was obvious.
Fang Cai's two sword moves were unraveling, and although Su Mu had the upper hand and injured Gao Yuanshan, it was more about ingenuity and surprise. If you talk about absolute speed and strength, it is actually quite far from Gao Yuanshan. And right now, Gao Yuanshan used a higher True Qi cultivation, and his speed and strength had once again increased significantly. Although Su Mu's eyes could still keep up, his body couldn't. After each barely block, my wrist shook and hurt. Su Mu knew that Gao Yuanshan didn't use any sword moves, but had completely suppressed himself in pure freedom temptation.
He could still feel that Gao Yuanshan was consciously avoiding his vital points and not allowing himself to be hurt.
An inexplicable emotion brewed in Su Mu's heart, and a voice that he had never heard before seemed to grit his teeth in his ears.
Could this be anger?
For Gao Yuanshan, although he was injured in the two unwinding moves just now, he had already roughly figured out Su Mu's speed and strength. Although he only had the True Qi cultivation of the Body Refining Realm, Su Mu's True Qi was extremely long and thick, and he was not chaotic at all in the fierce process of solving the moves. The lack of speed and strength is compensated for by timing and angle, and the dexterity of the sword is fully displayed. Therefore, at the moment, the head Gao Yuanshan controlled his speed and strength at a level that could suppress Su Mu steadily, and his pure physical ability and sword dao understanding suppressed Su Mu breathlessly.
