When you think of sabers, what comes to mind?
Swiss Army Knife, Nepalese, Eagle Warrior 1683...these familiar and famous legendary military knives are now inferior to the one in Yun Ming's hand.
This is a machete...yes, that's right, the kind used by the Young and Dangerous gangsters. Of course, the quality and appearance are much better than those used by street gangsters.
No army in any country would use a machete as a saber. The machete obviously did not meet the military requirements of being light, versatile, and easy to use. However, when Yun Ming saw the knife in the armory, he picked it up by mistake.
Facts have proved that Yunming made the right choice for this knife.
An ordinary fighting knife, the object of fighting is a person, and a short knife is just right. But what Yun Ming was dealing with was a reformed person, one with low intelligence and no pain or feeling. For these zombie-like enemies, even if they are stabbed with a motor drill, they will not bleed; it is much more efficient to remove the arms and chop off the heads with a machete.
Traditional martial arts often say: an inch long is strong, an inch short is dangerous. Long, strong and sharp, short and cunning, strange and hidden with murderous intent.
One inch longer and one inch stronger means that the longer the weapon you hold, the wider the attack range and the greater the attack power. One inch short and one inch dangerous means that the shorter the weapon in your hand, the closer you must be to the opponent to attack. You will move faster and bear greater risks during a fight. The main meaning of "risk" here is not that you bear the danger, but the way of fighting, which is a life-threatening style that can quickly kill the enemy.
Yun Ming couldn't fight with the modified people, let alone fight with the modified people in close combat. Now he only regrets that there is no such thing as Fang Tian's painted halberd in the armory. When dealing with enemies like monster babies, the longer the distance, the safer it is.
("Jianhe" should be understood as the effective attack distance, and it refers to both sides. In Japanese, there is a saying of "Jianhe いを开る". When converted into Chinese, borrowing from storytelling, it means 'jumping out of the circle'. It refers to the distance between the two sides. The opponent's distance, the effective attack distance away from the opponent.)
Facing the simultaneous attacks of five strange babies, Yun Ming's tactic was to defeat them one by one. He didn't need to kill all the monster babies. The goal was to start the train as soon as possible, so Yun Ming waved his knife to face the two monster babies blocking the road in front. He was eager to break out.
"Qiang!" The saber and double hooks slashed out a series of sparks. Yun Ming had the advantages of height and strength, and was more skilled in fighting skills. The double hook is actually a very tricky weapon, but in the hands of the strange baby, the eight-character usage of "hook, pull, lock, belt, dig, take, catch, lift" cannot be used half way.
But there are many of them, and like hyenas on the grassland, they can also hunt down lions. Seeing that Yun Ming had no time to look behind him, the three strange babies behind him pounced on them.
Several figures intersected for a second and then separated. Yun Ming was injured, and there was a blood hole on his left shoulder. The strange baby also suffered losses. The one that rushed over the fastest was cut in half by Yun Ming. Although it was not dead, it was lost. The ability to fight again.
"What a loss..." Yun Ming didn't care about stopping the bleeding and used his sword to defend against another attack from the monster baby: "Although I killed one, there is no time to deal with the injury on the shoulder, which will affect the subsequent battles. Both sides have declined in strength. The situation has not changed.”
Just now Yun Ming took a risk and showed off a flaw, and the strange baby fell into the trap and was beheaded by him with a dragging knife technique. But Yun Ming was still too confident. The monster baby's explosive power was beyond his expectations, and even though he was prepared, he was injured by it.
To make matters worse, after a round of fighting, the remaining four strange babies were all blocked in front of Yun Ming.
"No matter, let's fight quickly!" Yun Ming held the knife in his right hand, drew an arc from the left side of his body to the top of his head, and then drew an arc from the top of his head to the right side of his body. He stopped the knife under his armpit and hid it behind his back. This is the "Hidden Sword Style", also known as "Fighting in All Directions at Night". The force of this sword is strong yet soft, and the force is so heavy and fierce that the monster baby can withstand it in a hand-to-hand encounter.
"Come again!" Yun Minghu roared, raised his saber and slashed repeatedly, forcing the strange baby to retreat a few steps. The companions beside him saw that the situation was not good and attacked Yun Ming.
Yun Ming actually abandoned his sword and used his bare hands? With his hands free, he dwarfed his body, reached out with his arms, grabbed the strange baby's ankles and threw it to the ground. Then he picked up the corpse with a broken neck, rounded his arms and knocked away the remaining two that were coming at him.
Throwing away the body, Yun Ming rolled on the spot. He grabbed the saber that he had just let go of and regained his grip. He turned over and came to the strange baby he had wrestled with before, cutting off its legs. The strange baby fell to the ground in pain. Yun Ming's blade was reversed, and the tip of the knife penetrated the strange baby's skull, killing it.
"There are two left." Yun Ming straightened up and looked at the two remaining strange babies: "Oh? So it turns out that they still retain some human consciousness?"
The reason Yun Ming said this was because the remaining two strange babies were retreating, wary, and scared at the moment?
In an instant, three of the five strange babies were injured and two were injured. These two no longer posed a threat to Yun Ming. Quickly getting rid of these two, Yun Ming rushed to the platform. The entrance to the tunnel was very close. I wonder if Kuriyama Yoshiko and the Pu carriage attendant were still okay in the few minutes of delay?
…
Kuriyama Yoshiko missed, and there was no bone in the world that didn't pierce the reformer's skull. The Cyborg swung the sickle that grew out of his wrist and slashed at Kuriyama.
It failed, a tachi cut off its arm, and another sword cut off its head.
Pu Cha Shi is actually a master of swordsmanship, and he is holding the legendary sword - Nagafune, Aoimon Echizen Yasatsuki.
Longbun, tachi, blade length 73.63CM. It is also known as the work of the famous great prajna Changguang and the famous swordsman Changguang. Originally owned by the late Muromachi shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, it later passed to Tokugawa Ieyasu through Miyoshi Nagakei and Oda Nobunaga. After the Nagashino War, Ieyasu gave it to Nobumasa Okudaira.
Aoi pattern, Echizen Yasatsuki, low side, blade length 35.3CM. It was made by the famous swordsman Echizen Yasutsugi in the Edo period and is enshrined in Owari Atsuta Shrine as the Goshen Sword (Goshen Sword: a sword placed in the shrine to worship the gods and is generally not used in battle). The two sides of the knife are cast with plum patterns and bamboo patterns respectively. It is said that the name Aoimon Echizen Yasatsugu was because Tokugawa Ieyasu gave the name Aoimon to the Tokugawa family, so the name was changed. The sword was completed around the eleventh year of Qingchang.
Pu Cha Shi's two famous swords are not genuine, they are just imitations.
But just like the objective law in the financial world that "bad money drives out good money", these two high imitation swords are definitely better than the genuine ones.
The ultra-high metallurgical technology of this era enables the forged cold weapons to cut iron as well as mud. The two knives were tailor-made by Pu Che Shi. The length of the blade and handle have been slightly adjusted to maximize ergonomics. .
"How's it going?" Pu Chai Shi asked.
"The martial spirit can no longer support it." Kuriyama said concisely.
Her martial spirit can be used in two ways: one is an instant burst type, and the other is a long-lasting type. The former was used at the beginning of the encounter, and it was incredibly powerful, but it could only last for three minutes; now Kuriyama was using the latter, and his martial spirit was endless, blessing the boneless in the world. But even if it is a long-lasting type, Kuriyama will not be able to hold on for much longer, as the failure just now proves.
"No." Pu Che Shi stared at Li Shan and said, "You still have energy left, you can still hold on."
Ability - Proverbs, Activate.
As expected, Kuriyama Yoshiko felt that her abilities had continued power again, and her physical fitness had recovered a bit: "Can your abilities still be used like this?" Kuriyama asked during the break in the battle.
"Yes." Pu Che Shi explained: "My ability is essentially "whatever I say is right." When I'm at the human level, I can only increase the credibility of my words, but when I'm at the tiger level, it has a hypnotic effect."
"Then if your ability is upgraded again, will it evolve to have the effect of following words and actions?"
"Who knows? I always thought that even if my ability reaches the god level, the most I can do is make people all over the world recognize me as their father. Now it seems that at the god level, I can destroy stars with just my words."
Kuriyama sighed: "You are really good at talking."
A light suddenly came on behind the two of them. It was the high-speed train's headlights that were turned on. The train is about to start, and the several-ton steel carriage will give it huge kinetic energy under acceleration, which is powerful enough to smash everything in front of the train.
"Let's go!" Li Shan called the Pu chariot attendant to leave the tunnel.
"good!"
People with abilities have great physical advantages, and it is not difficult to get rid of these mass-produced modified people with average performance in all aspects.
The two jumped onto the platform, and the high-speed train entered the tunnel from behind. It opened six "tail fins", which were jet acceleration engines; six blue-green flames spurted out from it, much like the tail flames of a missile. This train was originally intended to carry hope of escape, but at this moment, its terminal station is the underworld, and reformed people are its only passengers.
The train picked up its passengers, and the transformed humans were knocked away one by one. Those who were lucky would have smashed the windshield of the cab and fell into the carriage to survive for a while; those who were unlucky would have gotten stuck between the carriage and the tunnel wall and been directly damaged.
The sound waves and hot wind caused by the explosion rushed out of the tunnel, and the three people facing the wind on the platform knew that the train had completed its mission.
"Has the ninth branch been saved?" Yun Ming asked.
"It's still early." Yoshiko Kuriyama opened the black box and searched: "The reconnaissance robot shows that there are still a lot of surviving modified humans, and the flames of the explosion cannot stop them. Let's go up to the training floor, where we will snipe the enemy."
"This defense war is not over yet."
