Programs such as martial arts performances performed by two people using weapons are actually performed in many countries and regions...lā
Experts who come from more developed areas or areas that value force basically understand its routine. Two people cooperate with each other, one party attacks while the other party defends and counterattacks - this kind of thing is not a real battle, although using It is a metal weapon, but it is very different from sparring and competition. It is more like a leisure sport mixed with performance elements rather than a real competition.
West Coasters call this a "bong strike," which means a "defensive counterattack with weapons." In the Siwaliya language, this word combines the dynamic progressive tense with the meaning of "show" and "pleasant". As a performing art exclusively for combat professionals whose viewing performance is greater than the actual combat ability, Naturally, it cannot really use the injury or even death of one party as the criterion.
——In fact, whether it is the West Coast, the South, or the three great empires, if one party injures the other during a military attack or martial arts performance, it will be considered a failure for that person.
As our sage has mentioned before, killing is not difficult. If you give a farmer who has never learned any fighting skills a wooden stick or a stone and wield it with brute force, he can beat a person to death. A fragile thing like the human body can be easily destroyed with just a slight blow causing internal bleeding or damage to organs. In the hands of excellent swordsmanship or other martial arts masters, various weapons are extremely deadly. The correct swing and use of force The methods jointly guide their every attack to be accurate and powerful - and extending to martial arts performances such as military attacks, it puts even higher requirements on all of this -
In the high-speed movement of wielding weapons and engaging in back-and-forth combat, both parties performing must be able to handle and place the weapons with ease. This not only requires them to have perfect control over their strength, and to show gorgeous enough skills without hurting the opponent, but also requires their mentality to be calm enough, to be able to accurately block the opponent's attack, and then calmly attack Issue a counterattack.
The level of skill displayed and the peace of mind are the basis for judging which side is better. This kind of thing is not something that ordinary mercenaries or soldiers can achieve. Even among the elite prairie warriors and knight sergeants on the west coast, only a very small number of people are qualified to perform this kind of performance - in other words, it is an elite sport to the letter. If you are not a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles and knows the weapons in your hands, or a swordsman who comes from a superb swordsman somewhere, even the onlookers may only be able to watch the excitement, but cannot truly experience it. to the mystery of it.
The avenue is exhausted, return to nature. The high-end martial arts sport of Bingbing can be said to fully demonstrate the essence of martial arts - it has never been an existence that emphasizes reaching the ultimate in a certain aspect, and swinging the most powerful blow is just It can prove that you have brute strength. Real swordsmanship must be able to be freely retracted and released. Being able to control the weapons in hand like an arm, coupled with a peaceful mind, every movement is integrated with breathing and steps, and being calm and quick to respond. Only when you reach this level can you truly enter the ranks of masters.
But even so - even if the starting threshold is relatively high, as a performance activity that is well-known at least among martial people in this era, the superb combat professionals who perform military attacks in various places usually must have Friends or mentors with many years of cooperation experience.
The so-called battlefield is constantly changing. After all, they are accustomed to using the weapons in their hands as tools for fatal attacks. Therefore, both parties performing fighting performances must first start with soft and slow movements to cooperate and become familiar with each other. Control the strength of your movements at the same time to ensure that you will not hurt each other, and then gradually speed up.
——The reason why fighting between strangers is a very dangerous behavior is simple and clear. You don’t know the opponent’s movements and how he will react after you attack. In addition, long-term study and training have engraved the killing skills into the muscles. A sudden move is likely to cause a natural reaction of attacking the vital parts in an attempt to knock down the opponent, and in this way, even if there is no bloody tragedy, , the rhythm is ruined and the mentality is affected, and it is also likely to directly ruin the entire performance.
Among the twenty people who came here, no one was a novice low-level green-card mercenary. Everyone was quite familiar with this relatively high-level martial arts performance, which is why they all directly expressed their feelings towards Mira's appearance. There was an obvious worry - the opponent was the youngest son of the Aries clan leader, and he was from a prairie noble family. The two of them were strangers meeting for the first time. Cooperation was impossible. In addition, they were being watched by a large group of Abu Serra people. Under the pressure, this young girl cannot remain calm - but this is not the most serious problem.
The young steppe aristocrat, who had his black hair raised up with an elastic wooden headband to avoid blocking his front sight, was using a rather delicate-looking spear, with a larger spearhead than usual. Some, and a long section of the part connected to the wooden handle was wrapped with brass as a protection against being hacked by the opponent.
A huge bonfire soared into the sky, illuminating this small open space. The silhouettes and clothes of the two people were cast in deep shadows - in a usual military attack, both sides would choose equal weapons and use similar martial arts. The enjoyment and safety of the confrontation performance will be greatly improved, and this time the opponent uses a spear to deal with the sword, which obviously adds more difficulty to all this.
The opponent's advantage in attack range means that the situation will become increasingly out of control. In order to be able to show off her martial arts skills and give an exquisite performance, Mira must take risks to get close to the opponent, and this behavior coupled with the young man over there Unpredictable reactions may lead to an out-of-control situation.
——The old and cunning patriarch of the Aries clan has some ideas in mind. Anyone with a little bit of brains can tell this. No matter what, this difficult and sudden test for outsiders like them is next to them. The moment a certain prairie warrior blew the horn, it officially began.
"呲——锵——ANG——" Mira slowly pulled out the long sword from her waist. The steel ring for reinforcement at the sheath and the spine of the half-hand sword made a pleasant trembling sound when it was rubbed. People who knew how to do it just said Listening to this sound, you can tell that the sword in the girl's hand has fine steel fire. Only weapons with high levels of toughness and hardness can make such a pleasant sound - many Felix The mercenaries under his command all turned their heads and looked at Henry. Only at this moment did they have the slightest confidence in Mira.
"Hmph..." The young prairie noble showed a playful smile, and then he held the gun with both hands, lowered his center of gravity, and stabbed Mira directly - as we have mentioned before, the point of this kind of military performance is not Knocking down the opponent and the like, but this young man still took such action must be to make Mira panic and take the opportunity to show off.
In one moment, coupled with what happened before, the answer immediately became clear.
During the previous contact, the patriarch's youngest son spoke in Lamani, coupled with the obvious look of contempt and aggressive attack after the performance started, combined with the almost fifty-year age gap between him and his father, considering this The inheritance of the status of the patriarch of the surrounding tribes has the same order of succession as the noble titles of the settled ethnic groups. As the youngest son, I think this young man should not be very popular among his own ethnic group, so he will try to do something related to it. Do different things to prove yourself.
He is a typical young man from an aristocratic family who willfully and impetuously tries to attract the attention of others. Characters like this are not uncommon in Rigar all over the world. Although these people are from good backgrounds and have good qualities, they are often not taken seriously within the family. Therefore, they inevitably become distorted and try to gain a sense of existence from other things. In the end, they become like this. Big and restless virtue.
Why did the old patriarch of the Aries clan suddenly mention this matter and choose Mira, the youngest among the group, as his youngest son's opponent in the performance? It was obviously with such a wishful thinking-if he lost to Luoan The girl's hands can rub off the energy and make this young man more down-to-earth and gain insights. And if he wins, he can also take this opportunity to show the strength of his tribe, so that those who think he is weak because of his contact with the southerners will learn to shut up.
Proving that he is still a grassland person after all, he is the leader of the Abu Serra people. Although he has communication with the people in the south, he still occupies a dominant position and does not follow the other party's rhythm. The old leader of the Aries clan throws out something like This is a script that he will not lose no matter what. Unfortunately, despite knowing all this, everyone in the enemy camp can only follow the opponent's path.
Henry's previous look at each other through the bonfire was probably because he had seen through all this directly. The mercenaries and merchants who realized it in hindsight were gnashing their teeth. In their eyes, it was obvious that this time they could only give in to the other party. They wanted to embarrass their group, and because of their contacts during the trip, they could be regarded as companions. They spontaneously began to fight for Mira, and they secretly cursed this cunning guy in their hearts - but this was obviously because of They don't understand the white-haired Luoan girl
"Wha-wu!" The spear that made a whistling sound was thrown out with one hand along with the steps of his left foot. Although the young black-haired prairie nobleman was a little irritable and shy, his skill with his hands was indeed not weak. He single-handedly This stabbing blow obviously leaves room for movement of the back hand. The two-handed swordsmanship common on the West Coast and the swordsmanship in the south and grasslands all emphasize powerful and heavy attacks, so the left foot is usually used to slash forward with the right foot. Step out.
This footwork with the focus on the right foot and the left foot forward is a sword-thrusting routine. The key point is that in continuous attacks, it gives up a certain amount of lethality in exchange for flexibility. In this kind of footwork, it is not about knocking down the opponent. In military attack performances, it can be said that the use of this type of footwork is just right.
"Ding--" The spear was aimed at her face, in order to force Mira to subconsciously retreat and block - but once she did this, her opponent would inevitably take advantage of the spear's distance advantage. Continue to strike further and eventually fall into the opponent's rhythm.
Although this is not a life and death fight, if anyone can see that the white-haired girl is being suppressed by the opponent, and the Absera people have the absolute upper hand, obviously their group will become shameless and be looked down upon by them - -Although both endings were planned by the old patriarch, in order to be on equal footing in future exchanges, they still had to act stronger at this moment.
"Qiang——" Milag blocked the blow and did not retreat. She judged the fact from the opponent's pace that the strength was insufficient. Even so, she was still sweating a little, but in the end she was not forced to retreat——but this was not the end. At the end, the young prairie nobleman's flamboyant character once again caused trouble. Seeing that Mira blocked the blow, he decisively gave up his steady distance advantage and directly retracted the spear, holding it in the middle with both hands, and actually leaned over to show off. He struck again with a short spear attack.
"Ka-Clang--" There was no thrilling blow, but it made the viewers pay more attention unconsciously. A fine drop of sweat oozed from the girl's forehead and successfully blocked the blow again. The young man looked at her playfully, For a while, the two of them were deadlocked in front of the bonfire.
"Come on!" A young businessman couldn't hold back and shouted out. The sudden voice in the silence attracted the attention of a lot of people. These glares made him a little embarrassed, so he had to scratch his hair and try to Hidden in the darkness. "Humph——" Although he was barely blocking, there were still people applauding him. Considering the fact that all he had on his side was indifference and no one cared about him, the young prairie noble suddenly felt a sense of unknown anger, and he quickly pulled away. After reaching a certain distance, he placed the spear on his waist and rotated it twice in a show-off manner, then used the spear as a stick and sank his waist, swinging it from left to right toward Mira's head——
"What!" This attack had no reservations at all, and it was already beyond the scope of a military performance. Someone among the mercenaries shouted, and the old patriarch with a smile in his eyes also saw Xian again at this moment. The person's calm and unfazed expression - "Dang - Cang!" The fire flew everywhere, and Mira managed to block this powerful blow with a high-level defensive approach. If she hadn't reacted in time, At this moment, even if she is not dead, there will be a deep scar on her beautiful little face - the girl's face is dripping with cold sweat, and she starts to gasp for air, but this is just a simple physical exertion, her heart is beating with the On the contrary, it becomes more and more peaceful.
It is difficult for us to tell exactly what level of talent Mira has. The Luoan people are a nation that is good at fighting. Even though they did not grow up in such an environment, the blood still flows in her veins.
The group of mercenaries from the southern border and the Absera people didn't know that it had only been a year since she started learning swordsmanship from scratch. The girl's rapid growth and the concealment of her armor also made them miscalculate Because of her age, this is why they only think that whether she plays or has a blue card, it is just a relatively eye-catching thing.
If they learned all the facts and learned that this girl was just a maid doing odd jobs in a border town on the Ecasta Plain a year ago, and had never been exposed to any combat before— I think it is not incomprehensible to give her the title of "genius".
Yes, even if our Mr. Sage is indeed an excellent educator, and perhaps we should even say that he is one of the very few top-level mentors in the entire Rigal world, the girl’s own qualities and her knowledge of fighting are Her almost instinctive ability to absorb and understand everything, as well as her hard-working and serious hard-working spirit, are the real reasons why she has reached this level in just one year.
Teach without reservation, accept without reservation, wholeheartedly, and understand everything.
"Cha——" The fine sweat on her forehead flowed onto her long, curly eyelashes, and finally fell down under the load. The young prairie noble retracted his spear and looked around, once again showing an expression that seemed cynical but actually gritted his teeth. He stretched out his left foot and began to change the center of gravity of his body. Apparently, he tried to show off one after another but failed. At this moment, his heart began to start. There are fluctuations.
"... Phew -" The blow was decisive and sharp. Mira was already starting to lose some of her strength. She was still wearing a half-armor at the moment, and due to her age and gender, her energy consumption was obviously not as good as the other's. The young prairie noble must have noticed this, so driven by his anxiety, he tried to increase his strength to consume the girl's physical strength faster.
——But this is what Mira is waiting for.
Her heart was calm and steady, she kept her breathing steady, her steps steady, and she knew the right moment.
She stepped on the spear with too much force with her right foot, and she waited until the last moment to avoid it. Just like Henry avoided the impact of the opponent's cavalry in actual combat in the past, the girl passed by, and then used one of her hands to avoid it. Half of the sword was stuck on the spear shaft.
"Tsk——" The young noble hurriedly wanted to take it back. In the end, his strength had the upper hand, so Mira couldn't stop it. However, following the opponent's movement, she also successfully closed the distance. The white-haired Luoan girl took one step. Stepping out and flipping his wrist, the young noble once again let go of the spear shaft and used the enlarged tip of his spear as a dagger. Time seemed to slow down and speed up in an instant. Before everyone could react, Both of their actions came to an end.
"Qiangwuwu——" Mira put the sword blade across the opponent's neck with her backhand in a half-sword posture, while the prairie noble held the tip of the gun with his backhand and pointed it directly at her face.
Neither of them could withstand the other's attack and fight back, and were held hostage to their vital points. Obviously, this military performance ended here.
"..." The heat began to rise, and the sweat soaked her cotton armor, making her feel more and more tired. But it was at this time that the previous prairie warrior blew the horn again.
"Woo--Woo--"
Two sounds.
It represents a tie.
"...Okay, so awesome." The young businessman who unconsciously cheered for the girl was so excited that he couldn't help himself, as if he was the one who went up.
"..." The short spear in the hand of the Aries leader's youngest son trembled slightly. He looked into the girl's bright eyes, which reflected his clear-cut face illuminated by the bonfire. Other than that, there was nothing. Hate or whatever.
"...Humph" he made a nasal sound, then lightly pressed the fingers of his free hand on Mira's sword blade to push it away, and then turned and left without looking back.
"Hooah -" The girl finally exhaled a long breath at this moment. She immediately felt endless fatigue and weakness coming from all parts of her body. What is the impact of this high-level competition on her? It was my first experience, so after this moment was over, I had to hold my sword and keep panting.
"This road... is still very long." The white-haired Luoan girl turned her head to look at her teacher, and Henry raised his eyebrows and responded with actions.

Note: This part of this chapter, as well as many terms and descriptions of battles that have appeared in this book, have been verified by real martial arts. However, because the author is just a hobbyist and not a real expert, if it is a professional swordsmanship If you are a school student, you will definitely find that there are many differences between this book and reality. I would like to take the opportunity to mention Bingsheng here to explain that in the final analysis, this book is still a novel, a fantasy novel. Although I strive to restore it truly, because of my ability and the need to take into account the story, it still will not become Laoshizi. Professional papers.
All I can do is to try to ensure that it is exciting enough and that readers can have a basic understanding of swordsmanship and some things within the scope of my ability. In addition, I am not able to write and will not write higher-level things. This book references reality, but it takes place in a different world. So for those who want to apply some real-life rules, real-life data and other things and then criticize them, seriously, please stop reading the novel.
Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" contains a lot of mistakes about the history of the Tang Dynasty. Dragons and magic can exist in other places. Or if there is a mistake in something you can understand, you will jump out and write a book review to ridicule me. You have nothing to do for a long time, and I still have to write a book. In half a year, you wrote a few thousand words of book reviews and criticized people everywhere. I wrote a 700,000-word novel, so I don’t have to worry about showing off. In this book review section, let’s find a sense of presence among the great masters. Let’s make something real! (To be continued.)
