Chapter 234 233. Differences in Sword Skills
Facing Lan En, he put his entire body's center of gravity into the process of accumulating power and 'threw' out a sword.
Even though Ashina Isshin had chosen the most effective way to resist, he put his entire weight on the sword blade and blocked downwards.
But under the huge force, he was pushed so hard that his feet were more than ten centimeters off the ground!
Finally, the straw sandals stepped on the ground again, leaving two dazzling traces on the floor of the Buddhist hall. The soil piled up at the end of the traces before it could stop.
"Well done! Lan En!"
Isshin Ashina couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Be brave and careful in battle. This saying has been passed down in every martial arts school for a long time.
But this kid can still have such a perfect reaction when facing the pressure of Ashina Isshin. This kid is very interesting!
But Lan En’s offensive is not over yet.
Those cat eyes scanned Ashina Isshin's body posture in a very short period of time.
Mentos synchronized the rotation of the pupils, and every data point was directly marked by it, and in the end, Lan En made the decision himself——
Continue to attack!
Forcibly receiving a slashing move that pressed the center of the body upward, Ashina Isshin's gold and steel dragon sword has been completely swung to the right side of the body.
There is a gap in the left defense. Even though this gap only needs less than a tenth of a second to be reorganized and repaired, Lan En can catch it!
After several "ding-ding-ding-ding" sounds like iron, Ashina Isshin raised his sword from the right side of his body and blocked it to the left side of his body.
The moving distance between the arm and the long knife determines that his efficiency should not be faster than Lan En.
So every time they collided, Lan En was able to break up the posture he was about to re-arrange!
In Western fencing, the dominant side should constantly put pressure on the opponent's weak side. Pressure is not only about expecting the opponent to make mistakes under pressure, but also a measure to protect oneself.
An opponent who is tired of dealing with attacks will have no chance to attack.
Therefore, the dominant side's onslaught is a strategy that looks violent and brainless, but is actually safe and stable.
There is no doubt about Ashina Isshin's swordsmanship, and his one eye became brighter and brighter during the fierce slashing.
With his skills and experience, he can easily find out the opponent's thoughts from the seemingly violent sword fighting.
Even this fresh feeling made him feel as good as drinking strong alcohol.
“So that’s it! This is the essence of Nanman swordsmanship!?”
This skinny old man keenly felt the difference between fighting Lan En and fighting a local swordsman from Japan.
Excluding his overly excellent physical ability, in terms of swordsmanship, Nanman swordsmanship is very different from Eastern swordsmanship.
"For you, the battle is actually an inducement battle!? Haha!"
Even though Ashina Isshin was temporarily suppressed in the situation, he still laughed with satisfaction.
This is a tactic that combines cunning deception and logic.
To put it bluntly, feint moves, real moves, real moves turning into fake moves, and fake moves turning into real moves are commonly used by swordsmen.
But the difference between Nanman swordsmanship is that they use logical thinking to analyze the sword fighting situation.
When to attack by force, what effect should the attack achieve, and what to do if the situation changes suddenly
These fleeting things in battle will be analyzed by logic and based on probability. Compare the risks and benefits. It is then up to the swordsman to decide which strategy to use.
This unique thinking means that the Nanman swordsmen may not necessarily be good generals, but on the single battlefield, they are all masters of tactics!
Ashina Isshin was still laughing happily, but his situation was not optimistic.
Lan made no mistakes at the tactical level. He used the strategy of strong attack on the weak and continuous suppression to force Ashina to change his position.
Pull it over and block the sword light on the left side of the body. After another collision, it will be knocked back to the right side of the body.
There is no time to correct one's posture.
The advantage at the tactical level means that as long as you make no mistakes in execution, you will almost always have the advantage.
Lan En's execution ability was as terrifying as ever. His sword was fast and steady, and his seemingly fierce attack never cut off his head, exposing his flank to his opponent.
The owl next to him, watching the young demon hunter press the [Sword Master] all the way, almost retreated to the wall of the Buddhist hall where many Buddha statues stood.
His bushy face was stretched out with an expression of surprise, indeed a bit like a frightened owl.
And when Lan En finally continued to advance, he forced the old [Sword Master] to the point where he could no longer retreat.
The wind started to change.
In the completely sealed underground Buddhist hall, a breeze suddenly blew.
The witcher's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
"Thank you so much, Lan En."
In the brilliant sparks of the collision of swords, the curvature of the corners of the skinny old man's mouth slowly became wider and wider.
"You let me see the interesting Southern Barbarian swordsmanship. In return, let's take a look at the 'sword' of the East!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the vertical pupils of the demon hunter's cat eyes suddenly shrank!
The Sword of the Lake Girl, which was originally going to press forward according to the tactics, suddenly retracted and stopped in front of her.
This was not enough, Lan En suddenly felt a sharp chill lingering on the side of his face.
Without any time to think, he released the hilt of the sword with his left hand and blocked the arm armor of his left arm in the direction of the coolness.
"Dang!!!"*2
Sparks exploded, and Ashina Isshin, who was originally in a suppressed posture, seemed to have dropped the frame.
It suddenly changed into the posture of Iai Slash.
And it’s not the posture of drawing the sword. It’s the posture of putting the sword back into the scabbard after drawing it out!
Lan En’s eyes widened!
A deep sword mark suddenly appeared on the outside of his left arm that was blocking his face!
And Alondette, who was holding it in his right hand, was also tilted at an angle of thirty degrees by the sudden and swift force.
What's more important - with his dynamic vision, he didn't even notice the two swords coming from the other side!
Are you fucking kidding me? !
Is this a martial arts novel? !
One sword hit two places on different routes!
The surging force caused Lan En's feet to leave the ground, and his whole body was 'carried' and flew back more than a meter!
He looked in disbelief at the skinny old man who stood up from the low position of Iai Sword again.
"It's amazing, isn't it? Compared with the Nanman swordsmanship?"
The old man laughed.
"I had nothing to do in Ashina Castle, and I also taught a group of swordsmen. This is a special and improved [Ashina Cross Slash] by a guy named Zuase Jinsuke. Although from the perspective of the air blade trajectory, it is a The 'two' is tilted. But I have to say that it is really fast."
Ashina Isshin put the gold and steel dragon sword back into the sheath and inserted it into his waist. It seemed that he was not ready to fight. .
Lan En tilted his head and looked at the old man, and also took back the Sword of the Lake Lady.
He began to pant, although it was not large, and he was controlled by a strange breathing method, but the noise in his lungs could not be blocked.
Isshin Ashina is getting older after all.
"It's almost like this. The speed with which Sause Jinsuke waved his hand can kill an armor-piercing person, right? Although he probably won't be able to save his hand afterwards."
Lan En nodded in admiration, grinding his teeth Hanako. .
"I feel like I understand a little bit about Japanese swordsmanship."
Ashina's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Oh? I didn't expect that your understanding is quite powerful. I am more optimistic about you, Lan En."
