Chapter 31: The Imperial City Zhen Guowei-31
Bai Yu was so blown by the strong wind that it was difficult to open his eyes, but he could barely hear the other party's footsteps from the messy wind, and he immediately lowered his head and opened his eyes slightly.
Bai Yu's action saved his life at a critical moment, and seeing that Edward was about to stab the tip of the sword in front of him, it was too late to fight back at this time. It can even be said that it is almost impossible to defend, and with the reaction of ordinary people, there is only one result at the moment. That is, after being pierced in the cheek, he fell in a pool of blood, and finally before he died, he cursed this abominable demon wind loudly.
But Bai Yu is different, he is young and his reaction is at its peak. Regardless of his age, his reaction is also unmatched by ordinary people, and no one among his peers can match.
At the moment when he was about to be stabbed, Bai Yu turned his head away, allowing the tip of the sword to pass past his face. At the same time, he let go of one hand, raised his sword with one hand, and raised the opponent's sword body with the hilt of his sword, deflecting the surprise attack in a thrilling manner.
Bai Yu's reaction surprised Edward, and because of the failure of the attack, he hurried back a few steps to prevent Bai Yu from counterattacking. Just now, Edward was almost ten percent sure that he would be able to kill the other party, and this blow was blocked, which made him quite shocked, and his eyes stared directly at Bai Yu.
Edward couldn't believe that someone's reaction could be so fast. When the man in black just opened his eyes, the distance between his sword and his face was no more than the length of a dinner knife. But the man in black not only reacted, but at this moment, he also thought of a quick solution, how terrible this is! Thinking of this, a drop of cold sweat flowed from Edward's forehead, is the man in black in front of him still a human being?
In fact, not only Edward was startled, but Bai Yu also had palpitations, after all, just now, he had already passed before the ghost gate was closed. Because both sides took into account, the battle did not continue to break out, and the situation suddenly became a stalemate again.
Wu Nai also breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded in his heart: This group of dead demon winds that don't help relatives outside the family, if you want to blow it, you will also blow that Diuman person! Why did the wind of Daxuan blow on the people of Daxuan? And you are embarrassed to blow so big! Do you want to make a face!
Because of this strong wind, the situation in the sky has also undergone some changes. Although the wind has calmed down a bit now, the dark clouds in the sky have become denser because of this, and the moonlight, which was barely visible, is slowly hidden by the thick clouds.
What's worse is that the lanterns in the courtyard were also blown out, so that the people here fully understand what it means to reach out and not see five fingers.
Both Bai Yu and Edward became more vigilant, and they gently moved to the last position of the other party, placing the tip of their sword across the front. The two of them almost thought in unison, as long as they touched anything at the tip, they would immediately cut it with all their might!
And Wu Nai was hesitating, thinking that he should go down now to create some disturbances so that Bai Yu could escape. After all, if God doesn't give face, then he can only admit it, and now as long as he is not caught, it doesn't matter if he doesn't gain anything.
When Wu Nai was hesitating, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of "bang". It was Bai Yu's sword! In the darkness, it touched Edward's sword first. Bai Yu immediately raised the "steel whirlwind" in his hand and slashed violently in the direction of the sword, and because Edward was touched first, he immediately reacted and slashed back at the other party, and the two swords collided violently together, and sparked in the dark space.
The moment Bai Yu was illuminated by the spark, he turned his hand to the gap in Edward's defense and slashed back, and the experienced Edward immediately realized Bai Yu's intentions, and immediately turned his sword to slash back, catching Bai Yu's heavy slash again, and the fierce sparks bloomed again between the two swords.
Bai Yu did not stop the attack, with the afterimage left by the second spark, he withdrew the sword, and then raised the straight stab, the tip of the sword slashed lightly in front of Edward, Edward was fine, and immediately retreated a few steps. Because he felt that something was wrong just now, he turned his body in the direction of Bai Yu's sword, and this judgment saved his life.
Edward pulled away a little more, and for a moment, the courtyard became unusually dead again.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually faded a little, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth again, this time the moonlight was quite bright, illuminating the people in the courtyard clearly.
Wu Nai only saw two sparks flash in the darkness just now, and heard a few metal sounds of sword blades colliding, so he didn't know what was happening. It was just when this moonlight came down that he saw Bai Yu who was safe and sound, and he was greatly relieved.
Bai Yu and Edward both watched each other's every move, and they both knew in their hearts that they must decide a winner before the moonlight disappeared this time. After all, this kind of thing is more dependent on luck, and masters generally disdain to rely on luck, otherwise what is the point of their strength.
Edward burst into laughter, breaking the silence as he said, "Stranger, you are very powerful, very powerful. I once said to a gentleman of Daxuan, saying that you Daxuan people don't know how to use swords, but now it seems that I haven't seen Daxuan's sword. ”
Bai Yu didn't reply, just took a few steps back, and at a safe distance, he stood up straight, held his sword in one hand, and gave the other party a sonorous fist salute. And Edward also seemed to have some sympathy, and then stood in front of his chest with his sword, and returned a knightly salute to Bai Yu.
After saluting first, then it is a soldier. After a few trials, Edward already had some understanding of Bai Yu's sword habits, and he was now confident that he could catch his opponent's charging stance.
Edward calculated that as long as he pulled the opponent's burst distance and kept luring the opponent to attack in the extreme distance, he could greatly alleviate the opponent's speed advantage and give himself more time to react. If the man in black is not trapped, he will slowly walk to the edge of his posture, wait for him to show a flaw, and then grab close to him, and he can also win.
After calculating, Edward began to act, he held the sword in his right hand, and grasped the blade of the sword with his left hand, as if holding a short spear, and began to slowly approach Bai Yu.
Bai Yu finally saw Diuman's "half-sword technique", and he was a little excited in his heart. But he also noticed that the opponent no longer seemed to be afraid of his "half-step lightning bolt" at this moment. After thinking about it carefully, the man should have carefully observed himself just now, perhaps planning to control the distance to three steps away, and then slowly touch the dead corner of his position, and when he moved to change sides, he took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack in order to catch himself off guard.
In the duel of the masters, generally after a few trials, the next move is a one-hit victory. At this time, where is the victory or defeat? In the control of technology, in the on-the-spot reaction, in the past experience, in whether you can think of what the other party thinks, but also in the long-term accumulation of hard work and tempering.
At this moment, Edward admired the man in black in front of him very much. is different from the "masters" who were defeated before, and the stranger in front of him is the real master for him, a master worthy of respect.
I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that Edward is even more eager to defeat him. Leave no room, no emotion, take out the strength and ability of the whole body, and kill the other party in a pool of blood. Only in this way can he prove what he is after - constantly defeating other strong players and making himself feel the thrill of surpassing another peak, which is the meaning of survival for challengers.
In the small courtyard, the more solemn the atmosphere became, and everyone present understood what was about to happen. Edward had moved to the calculated distance, and Bai Yu was staring intently at Edward's every move.
Wu Nai, who was far away, was sweating profusely, and he understood that the next blow of these two people would either be you or me!
