Speaking of martial arts, it can be generally regarded as the unity of tactics and strength, especially when using weapons to fight. In addition to the collision of forces that occur when the weapons intersect, the sophistication and richness of the moves are the only factors that determine the outcome of the move.

Yuan Chengzhi has two famous swordsmanship, namely Huashan Swordsmanship and Golden Snake Swordsmanship, and the subtlety of his moves is no less than that of the Blood Sword Monk. Normally, even if you can't gain the upper hand, you won't be forced to be scrambling by the Blood Knife Monk.

But in fact, this battle was an extremely abnormal battle - the Blood Knife Monk used an off-board move before the fight, which distracted Yuan Chengzhi's attention, which caused Yuan Chengzhi to fall behind after being attacked by a sneak attack.

In other words, the Blood Knife Monk had already controlled the first move on his side.

There is a cloud in chess: it is better to lose a son than to lose a first. There is also a saying: the first strike is the strongest. This shows the importance of the first hand in the competition. As early as the Tianlong era of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Huangmei monk would rather cut off one of his toes than win the right to make a first move in Duan Yanqing's hands, which is enough to prove the above truth.

The same is true for warrior battles.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten passively, and you will have to try to disassemble and avoid the opponent's attack, which can be said to be only a parry, and there is no power to fight back. If you want to turn defeat into victory, the minimum condition is to turn the back hand into a tie, and then convert the tie into a first hand.

Except for the Dugu Nine Swords, which can predict the enemy's moves, or the Tai Chi which uses defense as the attack, or the double sword combination bug like Xiaolongnu, if the other swordsmanship falls behind, you can only seek self-protection first.

Although Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts are powerful, he does not have the ability to strike first and come first, so after he lost his first move, he was completely suppressed by the Blood Sword Monk, and he couldn't turn over within a hundred moves. During this period, he changed his tactics again and again, using the Huashan Sword Technique and the Golden Snake Sword Technique alternately, but it still did not work.

There is another reason for this passive situation, that is, the material of his long sword is not good, if the material of the two weapons is similar, then he can use his unique secret skills to break the opponent's weapons, so as to reverse the first. But the problem is that the materials of the weapons of the two are very different.

Even though he had filled the body of the sword with a profound Mixed Yuan Skill, how could the other party's blood knife be a divine weapon, not only was he not afraid of his Mixed Yuan Gong's attack, but in turn, he also cut out countless gaps in his long sword, and after a hundred moves, this long sword had turned into a strangely shaped hacksaw.

There is no way to do this, Yuan Chengzhi can only support himself in an extremely passive situation, and he will be shaky.

However, the Blood Knife Monk's blood knife was only more ferocious and fast, not giving the opponent half a breathing room.

At this moment, whether Xia Qingqing has slept with other men is no longer a matter of concern to the audience, and her beautiful face is no longer the focus of people's attention, people only pay attention to the vicious battle between Yuan Chengzhi and the Blood Sword Monk.

This vicious battle has risen to the height of who belongs to the country, if Yuan Chengzhi wins, although there are many masters in the Qing court camp, there are very few who can reach this level. If the Blood Sword Monk wins, then it can basically be considered that this battle in the ring is over, because the Infernal Affairs who are mixed in the anti-Qing camp have already leaked out the old bottom.

Both camps knew that He Tieshou, the most powerful master here, had announced that she would not participate in the war. Although in people's discussions, He Tieshou's strength is already the first in the world.

Seeing that Yuan Chengzhi fell to the bottom and couldn't equalize, the most puzzled was Xia Qingqing. What she couldn't understand was why Yuan Chengzhi couldn't even beat such a monk.

She didn't believe that He Tieshou could be stronger than Yuan Chengzhi, she had always believed that since the death of the scholar surnamed Qian more than 20 years ago, her husband was the number one in the world. What belongs to Xin Shu and He Tieshou, all of them are not in her eyes, and she doesn't know that there is a powerful character in this world called Hong Antong. As for this Blood Knife Monk, he is simply an unknown person, how can he make her husband so embarrassed?

In addition to being puzzled, she is also the most anxious person. What chastity and reputation have been left behind, she only knows that if Yuan Chengzhi dies, she will lose everything.

With the crazy attack of the Blood Knife Monk, her heart gradually cooled, and all she heard was the discussion of the people in the anti-Qing camp behind her:

"It seems that the head of Yuan Da is also in vain......"

"Not necessarily, maybe this Blood Knife Monk is a master of the world. ”

"It's over, we're going to lose this one. ”

"This Blood Knife Monk is too powerful, Master Yuan can't beat him, and it's even more useless for others to go. ”

In short, there was a lot of mourning in the anti-Qing camp, and no one was optimistic that Yuan Chengzhi would be able to turn defeat into victory, even if it was the most optimistic guess, it was only analyzing whether Yuan Chengzhi could support fifty moves.

So she began to become dispossessed, at a loss, and began to look around blankly, like a person about to drown in the ocean looking for a life-saving straw that did not exist.

Suddenly, her gaze froze somewhere in the north side stands, who was that?!

Although the distance was far away, she couldn't see the person's eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose clearly, but she clearly felt that this person was Qian Qingjian, the martial god who was the most powerful back then! The blurred outline, the snow-white robe, the demeanor that reigned over the world, and the unshaved hairstyle, everything was the same as Qian Qingjian!

At this critical moment, she couldn't remember why Qian Qingjian was sitting in the stands of the Qing court, and she didn't doubt whether this person was just someone similar to Qian Qingjian, she only had one thought in her heart, that is, if she wanted Yuan Chengzhi to live under the knife of the Blood Knife Monk, only this god-like man could do it!

Thinking like this in her heart, her feet were already moving unconsciously, she wanted to go to the north stand, and she wanted to ask Qian Qingjian to save her husband, even if she knew that Qian Qingjian had always hated her, never looked at her directly, and most likely would not help, but she had to try.

She had just taken two steps when suddenly a thought surged into her heart, which made her stunned, because it was clearly not her own mind, but Qian Qingjian's!

This thought is described in one sentence, that is, "You stop, I won't help you, and I won't help your husband Yuan Chengzhi." ”

These words were like a basin of cold water poured down, Xia Qingqing stopped abruptly, facing the north, the image of the man in her eyes was even more blurry, but she was blinded by tears, she didn't care about why Qian Qingjian's thoughts appeared in her heart, she just said: "He refused to help after all." ”

When he was grief-stricken, a thought came to his heart again, which was also Qian Qingjian's, "You don't have to be sad, I won't help you because your husband can't lose this game, he will be the winning side." ”

"Ah?" she exclaimed, wondering, "how is this possible?

The thought in his heart said indifferently, "Aren't you contradicting yourself, since you know that I have the ability to save your husband, why don't you believe my judgment of this duel?"

Xia Qingqing couldn't help but turn his head to look at the ring, and found that Yuan Chengzhi was not only counterattacking, but was forced to be even more embarrassed by the Blood Knife Monk, and the clothes on his body were cut by the Blood Knife in several places, and there were faint traces of blood in one or two of the cracks.

She really couldn't believe the answer given by Qian Qingjian, she felt that it was Qian Qingjian's perfunctory, but even if people perfunctory her, what would it do? People had no obligation to help her husband and wife, this was an ironclad fact.
