Chapter 15: The Decisive Battle in the Rain (I)
On the school grounds, the torrential rain was pouring in. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Countless bean-sized raindrops fell from the dim sky and smashed on the dry and dusty sand. After a crackling sound, the school field was immediately filled with a heavy, muddy smell of dust. Soon, the rain hit the corpses and blood on the ground, stirring up the smell of blood on the ground, turning the entire school yard into a livestock slaughterhouse.
Jing Chuan and Ma Dai stood in an open space in the school field, their eyes facing each other, both clenching the knives in their hands.
The rain was very heavy and dense, and the sky was dark, although the two were only a few steps apart, it was like a dozen curtains in between, and the dense raindrops were the beads that kept swinging, shattering the sight of the two people into countless small and blurred grids.
The sound of the torrential rain drowned out all the movement around them, and the two could only vaguely see each other, and could not hear anything other than the sound of the rain.
The people around the school field stood quietly, squinting, looking at the two vague figures in the distance, and they couldn't tell which was Ma Dai and which was Jingchuan.
This is not the first time that Jing Chuan has fought a decisive battle in such a harsh environment. He had once fought a man in a thick fog, and with his extremely sensitive hearing, he quickly turned around the moment his opponent quietly killed him from behind, and ended the opponent's life with a single sword. But this time the situation was a bit special, the pouring rain had blurred his vision, and the roaring rain hindered his hearing. His ears didn't play much of a role in this situation, and he could only roughly distinguish the figure of the other party when he saw it, and he knew that he could only hit it by feeling.
For Ma Dai, this particular decisive battle was also the first time in his life, but he was full of confidence, and the heavy rain provided him with a perfect opportunity, because the blurred vision and the louder the rain, the more his footwork could be unleashed.
Both men were waiting for the other to make a move, but the rain was too heavy to see what was going on in the other's hands.
Jing Chuan turned the handle of the knife so that the blade was facing upwards to avoid the sound of the rain slapping the blade, and Ma Dai did the same.
Ma Dai began to move, Jing Chuan squinted, Ma Dai's figure flashed away from its original position, Jing Chuan turned his ear, and vaguely heard footsteps stepping on the muddy water on the ground rushing towards him, and immediately turned sideways, turned around and slashed down. Sure enough, Ma Dai's knife instantly stabbed Jing Chuan's original position, and when he saw that it was missing, Ma Dai hurriedly returned the knife, and his speed was so fast that he dodged the knife that Jing Chuan cut down from the side.
After two or three footsteps, Ma Dai's figure disappeared again.
There was no movement on the school grounds.
Jing Chuan lowered his plate, held the knife in both hands, groped his way forward for a few steps, stopped, and then suddenly turned around and ran, and after running a few steps, he lowered his body, and slashed the knife horizontally on the ground with both hands. At this moment, he felt the sound of rain lapping the back of the knife above his head, and at the same time, where his knife passed, a pair of legs jumped up and jumped out of the range of the blade.
The temptation of the two was over.
Ma Dai rushed towards Jing Chuan, Jing Chuan saw his figure approaching, and also rushed over, and after the knives of the two people touched each other with a "dang" sound, they started a ping-pong fight as if they were sticky. The dense sound of knives pierced through the rain curtain and reached the ears of everyone, making everyone present tremble.
Jing Chuan saw a little bit of Chen Danian's routine from Ma Dai's knife technique. He knows Chen Danian's knife skills well, and he can see Ma Dai's knife, but he is unfamiliar with Ma Dai's footwork. Ma Dai's footwork is strange and changeable, every time he swings a knife, his footwork changes at any time, and the knife method changes with the change of footwork. Sometimes when a side step is moved, the knife suddenly sticks to Jing Chuan's knife in a half circle when it is halfway up vertically, and sharply turns up and cuts upward; sometimes when he takes a step back, the knife has already broken away from Jing Chuan's knife, but at the moment when it just detaches, it unexpectedly pokes out its head and stabs Jing Chuan's leg like a poisonous snake with a shrunken neck, such a changeable knife technique and footwork make Jing Chuan completely unable to figure out his routine. Jing Chuan was at a disadvantage and could not launch an attack, so he could only keep defending.
After more than a dozen moves, Jing Chuan found that what Ma Dai said was indeed true: his sword techniques were not all Chen Danian's routines, but only embedded some Chen Danian's movements. He now understands that Chen Danian's knife technique is characterized by change, and with his flexible footwork, he can bring his knife technique to the extreme. As for Chen Danian's other moves other than the knife technique, Jing Chuan is really the first time to see it, the knife technique changes with the change of footwork, giving people the feeling that it is specially designed for footwork. If it is really as Ma Dai said, the sword technique was created by him, then he can indeed be regarded as a person with a talent for martial arts. Sadly, Ma Dai is not on the right path.
The two fought for a while, Ma Dai was still in the upper hand, and the attack was very fierce, but Jing Chuan's defense had no loopholes, and Ma Dai's knife couldn't touch Jing Chuan's body at all. Ma Dai's young heart didn't take long to lose his patience and wanted to deal with Jingchuan immediately, so he launched a more intensive attack.
At first, Ma Dai's attack had been focused on Jing Chuan's upper body, but now, Ma Dai also transferred the knife to his lower plate while attacking his upper body, trying to make Jing Chuan lose his eyes and be caught off guard, so as to expose the horse's feet, and then solve him with a knife. But in this way, Ma Dai's footwork slowed down, Jing Chuan's sharp eyes saw this opportunity, and deliberately slowed down a little, so that Ma Dai felt that there was an opportunity to speed up the attack in his hand. However, at this time, Ma Dai's footwork was clearly seen by Jing Chuan, and after more than a dozen moves, Ma Dai's seemingly disorderly footwork was seen by Jing Chuan.
At this time, the rain gradually became a little lighter, and the vision became much clearer. Jing Chuan had roughly figured out Ma Dai's footwork, and after blocking Ma Dai's knife, he jumped back and stood still.
Ma Dai could see that Jing Chuan's physical strength could no longer keep up.
Indeed, Jing Chuan had several wounds on his body, and he had shed a lot of blood before that, although the fight could temporarily forget the pain of the wounds, but it also accelerated the speed of bleeding. Jing Chuan's face was already a little pale, and his strength was not as strong as it was at the beginning.
Ma Dai sneered: "You're not bad, you can take me so many tricks." Forget it, I won't play with you, I'd better send you to the west as soon as possible. ”
As soon as Ma Dai's words fell, he hadn't launched an attack yet, but he didn't expect Jing Chuan to rush towards him with a knife. He was a little surprised, but then he also used his footwork and rushed towards Jingchuan. The two people bumped together, Jing Chuan was the first to move this time, first one step forward, the backhand picked up the knife from the bottom to the upper left, and then the heel was nailed to the ground, the sole of the foot turned outward for half a circle, and the back foot quickly followed, stepping into a lunge, and the knife in his hand made a bend to the right at the moment when Ma Dai blocked it with the knife, and picked it up to the upper right of Ma Dai, Ma Dai did not expect the knife to turn around so quickly, and hurriedly took a step back. As soon as he stepped back, Jing Chuan's sharp blade cut through the raindrops, cutting through his original chin, and if he had been slow for half a beat, his jaw would have been cut in half.
Ma Dai was shocked: how could his footwork suddenly become so similar to mine?
Before he had time to think about it, Jing Chuan rushed in front of him at the moment when he just stood firm, and slashed down, Ma Dai was about to block, but he didn't expect Jing Chuan's steps to change immediately, and the knife immediately turned and stabbed Ma Dai in the chest at the moment he slashed down. Ma Dai turned his body sharply and dodged. He wondered, "Could it be that he had seen through my footwork?" but how did he know this step only me?
Ma Dai didn't think much about it anymore and wanted to get rid of Jing Chuan as soon as possible, so he sped up his speed and fought with Jing Chuan.
Jing Chuan's footwork is more and more consistent with Ma Dai's, and every time Ma Dai moves, Jing Chuan is like his shadow, knowing where he will step on next, and then sticking to it. In this way, Ma Dai's footwork was broken, and the two people seemed to be moving in parallel. Ma Dai gradually panicked, trying his best to get rid of Jing Chuan, but Jing Chuan followed closely, and at the same time, the knife in his hand was constantly attacking.
Jing Chuan's knife was thicker than Ma Dai's, and Ma Dai couldn't resist it at all, so he could only resolve Jing Chuan's strength by avoiding or turning around with the knife, but as time passed, his disadvantages became more and more obvious.
The people standing outside the arena watched the two of them play in the rain for nearly two pillars of incense, and they still couldn't tell the winner, and they were a little anxious. After looking at it for a while, the general under Ma Dai called a soldier to bring a bow and set up an arrow at the two figures in the rain, but the two of them were entangled back and forth, and he could not determine the timing of the arrow.
Jing Chuan has been attacking, but the physical exertion is very serious, and when he gets to the back, he is a little unstable in swinging his knife. Ma Dai quickly saw it, and suddenly lowered his body to dodge when Jing Chuan poked the knife out, and then cut cross-cutting towards Jing Chuan's two legs. Jing Chuan hurriedly retreated, but one leg was still slashed by Ma Dai's knife. Jing Chuan did not intend to continue to retreat, but took advantage of Ma Dai's head exposed under his knife to turn the blade and slash down, Ma Dai lowered his head and rolled to the ground, although he dodged, but the net bag wrapped above his head was cut by Jing Chuan's knife. With this knife, the head of the net pocket was cut off one by one, and a piece of Ma Dai's scalp was torn off in an instant.
Ma Dai rolled to the side and squatted down, his hair scattered, and a piece of the hair scalp was removed from the top of his head, revealing a piece of Bai Sensen's skull, and blood quickly seeped out from the scalp on both sides, and the heavy rain kept beating on it, and it hurt his heart. Ma Dai trembled and his teeth rattled.
Jing Chuan's leg was cut by Ma Dai's knife, and the two pieces of skin were turned up and down, and blood kept coming out of it. He felt that his legs had no strength and could not support them, so he stuck the knife in the sand and fell to his knees.
As soon as he knelt down, Ma Dai suddenly roared and rushed at him with a knife as if he had gone mad. Jing Chuan held the knife in one hand and wanted to stand up, but when he was halfway through, the injured leg suddenly couldn't support it anymore and knelt down again.
Ma Dai approached Jingchuan with a knife.
Seeing this, the general who took the arrow put down his bow and arrow, raised his mouth, and laughed.
