Chapter 248 247. Fist
"Lan En, the existence of immortal power is not a rare topic for Ashina's generals. My grandson, Genichiro has been captured by the increasingly powerful inner army. He is driven to hysteria. Even if it is a forbidden power, he will not hesitate to use it as long as he can defend the Ashina Kingdom."
"But there is no doubt that in the eyes of an old guy like me who is about to die. , This is just a childish disease of a kid. How can there be immortality in the world? The same is true for people, and the same is true for power. "
" Wei Ming will naturally disappear when it is time. Daru Naifu is no exception. It would be ugly to hold on to the afterimage of the past."
"But in the final analysis, my grandson has valued the survival of Ashina Kingdom more than his own. Life is more important. This is the result of my education, and I have no position to blame him.”
"But Lord Norizen Yamauchi, just think of it as my disgust with the power of immortality. The conflict between the two of you is limited to this duel. The other ashigaru and samurai are not involved. After Lan En won, he You can come and go freely. "
Yamauchi Norizen waited for a long time and didn't hear anything about his victory.
So he raised his head and asked Ashina Isshin.
"What if I win?"
Yamauchi Norizen's speech stuck up Isshin Ashina, who was looking back on the past.
The skinny old man pursed his lips and smiled politely at the general, without saying anything else.
You really dare to think!
It’s still a ‘win’.
Both parties in the duel had no objections, so in the courtyard of Hirata Manor’s inner house, the samurai general put on his traditional attire.
A tachi, which was about 1.6 meters long, was unsheathed by him before he started.
It can be seen that he is not the kind of swordsman who is proficient in [Ashina Cross Slash], but a warrior who applies [Ashina Ryū] to the battlefield.
Under the horn pocket is an old man's face, which is a facial armor specially made to look like an old man. Used to protect and deter enemies.
Under his face, Norizen Yamauchi’s eyes were sharp and murderous.
He really wanted to kill this foreigner who intended to weaken Ashina's strength.
But in contrast, Lan En’s knife was not unsheathed at his waist. His calm eyes were the same as when he was in the room just now.
Lan En is the kind of competition player who usually shows a lot of emotions, but when he gets serious, he has nothing to worry about.
Mentos made an estimate when Lan En came into contact with the information about Xianfeng Temple. Until this matter is over, Lan En will probably keep a straight face.
No one is the referee, this is a fight to the death. Swordsmen and samurai should not use the so-called referee's command as a signal to fight on the spot.
The moment the two stood still and looked at each other, the fighting had already begun!
"Huangkou kid! Let me, Wei Mingshi, Yamauchi Dianshan, come and chop you down!"
The 1.6-meter-long tachi was originally a weapon used by samurai warriors to fight on horseback. It has a larger arc and better cutting performance than the katana used for foot combat.
Yamauchi Norizen relied on Ashite's physique that absorbed the water of the source, and he could easily use a tachi of this length in a foot battle.
He dragged the blade behind him, held the knife in both hands and pushed it sideways towards Lan En.
This posture can hide part of the length of the blade from the enemy, as well as the hidden movements of the hand.
Although at the beginning, both sides showed their weapons.
However, during a weapon fight, as factors such as height, angle of view, light, etc. change, the length of the blade is constantly changing in human subjective vision.
Unless you are familiar with the opponent's weapon, you basically need to rely on the fighter's real-time observation to grasp the distance every time the blades intersect.
If the person who hides the blade of the sword in this posture moves forward to suppress the opponent before he draws the sword, it can be said that he has already taken the initiative in the battle.
Yamauchi Norizen’s footsteps are strong and powerful.
Moisturized by the water of the source, plus a body acquired through diligent training. Let his charge be fierce and swift.
There was already a sound of tearing the air from the blade behind him.
That means his knife has started to move, but from Lan En's perspective, he can't see the movement trajectory and length of the knife at all.
Flirting? Cut horizontally? Backhand thrust?
There are many possibilities, have fun guessing!
Across from Yamauchi Nozen, Lan En has calmly touched the handle of the knife on his left waist with his right hand at his side. Beneath his face, Yamauchi Norizen's eyes flashed with understanding.
He knows that if you don’t draw your sword before a battle, you are either seeking death or you have a strange move!
Have you mastered the unique skill [Ashina Cross Slash] in just a few days?
This talent is really enviable, but... I still have to die!
The general's arm has been raised to his chest. Is this height necessary for a horizontal cut?
"Boom!" There was a sound of armor plates colliding.
Yamauchi Norizen's sword blade was still behind him. He raised the arm holding the sword to his chest to let his elbow push out!
This move does not come first with the blade at all, but with physical skills!
This extremely confusing sequence of moves made Lan En's eyes widen slightly.
However, there is a real difference in the reaction speed between the two. Lan En's hand that originally grasped the handle of the knife completed the turn halfway, and directly hit the opponent's elbow with the back of his armor-covered fist. go back.
And Norizen Yamauchi's failure in the elbow attack did not affect his subsequent moves at all, as if this person did not expect the elbow attack to solve the enemy.
He is a general who works on the battlefield, and those who rely on physical skills on the battlefield are either mentally ill or really awesome.
He clearly does not belong to any of them.
After the elbow strike, the blade behind him slashed across with a roaring sound that broke through the air!
Physical skills are not meant to kill the enemy, but to disrupt the rhythm of the enemy's confrontation.
In many swordsmanship, there are even sword moves that require the sword wielder to deliberately make waiting, delayed, and redundant movements.
Because most people cannot withstand the fast pace of sword fighting relying on their nerve reactions, and rely more on muscle reactions.
When the two sides are "ping ping pong" and fight fast to form a mess, a deliberately slow beat can make the enemy's muscles react inappropriately and create a very large gap in attack and defense.
Then achieve success with one blow.
This move of Yamauchi Norizen is similar to this sword technique.
"I will take your head!"
The general's eyes stared at Lan En's side neck without a gorget or helmet.
Judging from the speed of his sword, not to mention cutting the neck, even if it was cutting the waist of an ordinary person without armor, it would be severed in two!
However, it was precisely because Norizen Yamauchi had focused entirely on Lan En's unprotected side of his neck that he failed to notice the witcher's right hand that still had not been lowered.
“Dang!!!”
The crisp sound of steel colliding sounded, and all those who practice [Wei Mingliu] are very familiar with this sound.
Because along with the crisp sound, there are also sparks that explode in a circle.
Yamauchi Norizen's eyes were flashed by unexpected sparks, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
"It's [Dengli]? But he doesn't have a knife in his hand, how can he think it's a fist?!"
When his eyeballs got used to the sudden bright sparks, General Shi was shocked to discover .
There was a circle of sparks just now because of the collision between the sword blade and the opponent's steel arm guard!
His posture became sluggish and stiff after this blow.
Just like the way he looked at Lan En's calm cat eyes.
"Use your fist to cast [Wei Mingren]. Is it fake?!"
