Half-body penetration: At the beginning, hold the sword slightly diagonally in front of the enemy, avoiding the front. Once the enemy attacks him with a spear, he slashes back with his sword, drawing a semicircle in the air and hitting the opponent's spear. The enemy retracted the long spear that was knocked away, and when he adjusted his body posture, he took this opportunity to rush in front of the enemy and kill him with his sword.
The attack range of the sword is really inferior to that of the spear. Without the use of some clever strategies, unless the swordsman is far more powerful than the spearman, it is basically impossible for the "sword" to beat the "spear".
Theoretically speaking, "half-body penetration" is the best strategy when "using sword against spear".
However, even so, this method is still risky, and not everyone has the ability to do it.
How to shoot away the incoming spear?
How to get close quickly while the enemy's spear is being shot away?
Suppose the enemy reacts quickly and is very skillful, and before you can reach the range where your sword can hit the opponent, he closes the spear and turns back. How should you deal with it?
These seemingly simple questions are actually very informative.
Whether these seemingly simple problems can be handled beautifully is a major dividing line between "experts" and "rookies".
To be honest - Qing Teng's action just now was quite thrilling.
The fatigue of his body made Qingden feel his muscles groaning in pain every time he swung the knife.
My limbs felt swollen and heavy, as if they were filled with lead.
With the current physical condition, can he defeat Shirasaki, who is good at shooting, with the "half-body penetration" method?
Qingdeng was not absolutely sure.
Fortunately - Qingdeng's risky move ended with a "perfect victory".
Shirasaki, who was hit by a sword on his shoulder, had his facial features contorted in pain.
The wrinkles on his face were already many and dense. After twisting the facial features in this way, the whole face became more and more like an orange peel that has lost its moisture.
The pain coming from his shoulder told Shirosaki that he was not seriously injured and would only need to rest for a few days to recover as before. But don’t think about competing with Qingdeng again now.
He collapsed to the ground with both his body and his gun. While raising his hand to cover the area where the sword hit him, he struggled to raise the eyelid of one eye and looked up at Qingdeng in front of him.
Qingden is currently facing away from the sun.
Looking from Shirasaki's current perspective, he could just see Aoto and the sun behind Aoto, which would reach its highest point in half an hour.
The warm sunshine shines from behind Qingdeng, outlining Qingdeng's figure.
Because the sun was so bright, Qingdeng's entire face and body were in shadow as dull as morning mist.
With the blue sky and sunshine at his back, his face dim and invisible - this scene gives Qingdeng an aura of unfathomable, awe-inspiring and inviolable.
"..." Shirasaki pursed his lips tightly, the expression on his face was unpredictable.
…
…
——You will get stronger when you are old...well...not bad.
In terms of ability effects alone, this newly acquired talent is quite useful - at least it is much more useful than "milk" and "many children, many blessings" that are not even effective.
It's a pity that Qingdeng is only 18 years old this year.
In Qingdeng's future for at least 20 years, this talent will have no use.
Qingden calmed down his breathing and emotions for a while, then slowly turned around and faced the last opponent - Akabane Koichiro.
…
…
"Now is a good time..."
After cooing at a volume that only he could hear clearly, Akabane casually threw the bamboo sword he had carried in his hand over his shoulder and stepped into the competition arena with a swagger.
As a "vanguard against Aoto", when Akabane learned that Aoto actually planned to challenge the entire Third Division army with "Ritsikiri", he immediately realized keenly: This was a man who could severely teach Aoto and give him a lesson. A great opportunity for Qing Deng to record his mawei!
It has been Akabane's long-cherished wish these days to embarrass Aonto - especially to embarrass Aoto in public.
The best way Akabane could think of to fulfill his long-cherished wish... was to beat Qingden, who was known as a "brave man," in full public view.
However, although Akabane's heart is narrow, it does not mean that his mind is also narrow. He is still self-aware.
After witnessing Aoshito's method of "slaying the 'one-armed gang' alone" the night before... Even though he didn't want to admit it, Akabane had to agree: This little kid who sat on his head at such a young age still had some abilities. Two brushes.
If there was a one-on-one duel with Aomori, Akabane would have no chance of winning...
But what Akabane never expected was that when he wanted to doze off, a pillow came to him!
The man named Tachibana, who had some fault in his mind, actually planned to single out the entire army of their third division in a "cutting" method!
Akabane didn't want to miss this great opportunity to "teach Ayoto" a lesson that came to his door.
Therefore, as soon as the competition began, Akabane began to run around, looking for anyone who could unite, and personally formulated a series of rough strategies.
Akabane simply doesn't have too many "potential allies" - the number of people in the third division who are hostile to Aoto and unhappy with Aoto's rise to power can be counted on two hands.
Therefore, Akabane effortlessly pulled up this "anti-Aoto encirclement net".
The "double relay" and "the messenger Aoi and others deliberately used tricks that could greatly weaken Aomori's physical and mental strength" were all caused by Akabane.
By the way - Aoi Oo didn't want to take orders from Akabane.
Firstly, he was not good at martial arts and was not sure how to consume Qingdeng's physical and mental state to the maximum extent.
Secondly, he was unwilling to use such despicable methods to deal with Qingdeng.
However, due to various reasons, Aoi finally succumbed to Akabane's power.
Akabane approached Shirosaki, who was also dissatisfied with Aoto's rise to the top, and proposed a simple cooperation proposal:
"The two of us should not rush into battle. Let Aoi and the others consume Tachibana Aoden's physical energy as much as possible first, and then we will make our final appearance." - These were the exact words Akabane said to Shirasaki just now.
The reason why Akabane proposed such a plan is very simple - he and Shirasaki have the strongest martial arts abilities in the entire third division!
In terms of martial arts skills alone, he and Shirasaki are firmly at the top and second place in the third division respectively.
Although Akabane has a "roshan-shaped" figure with a height and waist of 1.6 meters, he is a flexible fat man and a good swordsman.
Two years ago, when he was 26 years old, he was successfully granted the title of Katori Shinto-ryu by virtue of his undoubted hard power.
I have to say, Akabane is really good at calculating.
And his careful calculation really had the effect he expected.
After Qingdeng's "two-person battle" and the consumption of Aoi and others, the rate of loss of physical and mental energy increased a lot.
Especially during the battle with Shirasaki, in order to successfully deflect Shirasaki's spear, Aomori gritted his teeth and poured all the remaining strength in his body into his waist and arms.
Although he successfully defeated Shirasaki, the price he suffered was not small - his muscles were overwhelmed due to the excessive exertion, and his arms began to tremble uncontrollably.
Akabane, who noticed the condition of Qingto's arm for the first time, felt happy.
A smug sneer appeared on the corner of Akabane's lips, and he thought to himself: Tachibana Aoden is exhausted! If you don't go into battle now, when will you wait?
He stood 7 steps away from Qingdeng and stabilized his sword in the following structure.
"..." Qingden glanced at Akabane expressionlessly, then raised his sword in the middle position.
Shirasaki and the others, who had lost to Aoto and could only be spectators now, all opened their eyes and stared closely at everything in front of them, as well as the two swordsmen who were facing each other from a distance.
The final result of this "1vs60" extremely large-scale "Liqiri" is "Aoden's victory" or "Aoto's defeat", all depends on the final showdown at hand!
…
…
Qingdeng looked solemn and thought:
——It’s really a bit too hard to challenge 60 people alone...
Qingdeng originally thought that with his current strength, it would be easy to defeat the entire Third Division army, which was generally inferior in skill and strength.
Now it seems that I still have many shortcomings in my martial arts journey.
Qingden has long heard about Akabane's strength.
With such a tired body, facing Akabane, who possesses the Katori Shinto style and is one of the best in the third division in terms of skills... If he were to run into him like a bull without thinking or caring about anything, I'm afraid he would... His head was bruised and bloody.
If you stand still, the blood will easily stagnate in your legs, causing your movements to become sluggish.
In order to keep his pace agile, Qingden kept moving his steps, circling around Akabane, but not getting even half a step closer to Akabane.
Time is on Qingdeng’s side.
Qingdeng has a "strong essence". This talent gives Qingdeng a physique that "recovers energy and physical strength faster than ordinary people."
As long as it lasts for 1 or 2 minutes, Qingden can complete the breath adjustment and restore stable breathing.
However, Akabane is not a fool.
Of course Akabane could see that the longer time passed, the more disadvantageous his situation would be.
Therefore, he is always looking for opportunities to attack.
But Qingdeng kept more than 7 steps away from him.
If you take a step forward, I will take a step back; if you take a step back, I will also take a step back... In short, I will try my best to stay away from Akabane and prevent him from getting close to me.
At first glance, Qingdeng seemed to have taken the initiative and controlled the rhythm of the battle, but this "cat and mouse" style trick was only a temporary measure after all.
Presumably it won't be long before Akabane can't stand this heart-wrenching stalemate, so he will become fierce and attack desperately with his sword.
[The man with the husband's sword unites his mind and strength]
This is what Boss Kiryu often says to Aoto when he teaches Aoto the sword drawing technique. It means: The spirit and the body are integrated into one. This is the law of sword use. Only in this way can the power of the sword be maximized.
At this moment, Qingden couldn't help but recall this teaching that was often mentioned by Kiryu's boss.
Qingdeng thought to himself: Since the body is already tired...then use "heart" to make up for the lack of "strength"!
"call……"
A long breath like white mist floated out from Qingdeng's slightly opened dry white lips.
He lowered his eyelids slightly and stared at Akabane opposite him.
The lines of the face and the muscles of the body gradually relax due to the high concentration of the mind.
The impurities in the eyes were removed and disappeared bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye...the eyes gradually became calmer.
In the talent list, the entry for "Gathering God" bursts out with bright golden light!
Qingden kept concentrating, trying to enter a state where he could only focus on the bamboo sword in his hand and the enemy in front of him.
Akabane, who was not a novice in martial arts, immediately sensed the changes in Qingden.
The calm expression on his face suddenly froze.
Akabane's heart sounded a panic alarm.
Getting louder and louder.
A hairy feeling shot up from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
An anxious shout came from my heart: I can’t wait any longer! We can't go on like this any longer!
At first glance, it seemed that Qingteng was just concentrating, but Akabane instinctively felt that Qingteng was in danger right now! And it will become more and more dangerous!
Akabane was stunned by the sudden change in Qingden's body, and fell into a state of hesitation. His body was imprisoned by his thoughts and froze in place.
However, this is only for a moment.
After a moment, Akabane's lower body seemed to have a sense of autonomy, and he just let his feet stuck to the ground lift off the ground.
After taking the first step, the next thing becomes logical - your mind catches up with your body! Rush to Qingdeng together physically and mentally!
I saw him letting out a sharp "waaaaaaaaa" sound while quickly closing the distance between him and Qingdeng!
Akabane's attack came, but Qingteng still stood where he was, maintaining the middle position and remaining calm.
Akabane ran all the way until he was only three steps away from Ayoto, then he suddenly lowered his body weight and gathered strength in his waist.
The next moment, he jumped out! Explode all the power accumulated in your waist in one breath!
He jumped up with all his strength, and with the momentum of his run-up and fall, he knocked down the bamboo sword held high above his head.
Just as Akabane's feet were about to lift off the ground, Qingden subconsciously held his breath and prepared to face the enemy.
But at this moment, an incredible scene happened to Qingdeng... Correction. To be more precise, it happened in front of Qingdeng.
airflow.
Qingdeng saw the strange "air flow" again.
Streams of "air flow" as thin as smoke escaped from Akabane's body.
If he just saw the airflow, that would be it. Qingdeng could only sigh with emotion, "Tsk, I saw it again."
But this time the situation is different from the past.
At this moment, Qingteng not only saw the "air flow" on Akabane's body, but also saw something... so incredible that Qingteng didn't know how to describe it in words.
He saw the muscles, internal organs, bones, blood vessels, and blood flowing in the blood vessels under Akabane's skin.
Akabane's body... seemed to have become transparent! Any movement of his body, whether it is the flow of blood or the movement of muscles, are all invisible to Qingdeng!
This strange vision, as if "the world has become 'transparent'", caused Qingdeng's expression to be dominated by intense shock in an instant.
Because everything happened so fast and suddenly, Qingden didn't even have time to scream.
The only reaction he had time to make was to subconsciously tighten the hole.
What shocked Qingdeng was not over yet.
In the next half-moment, Qingdeng's body broke away from the control of his brain and started to move on his own, as if he was being induced.
Even before Akabane jumped up, Qingden seemed to have predicted in advance where his sword would strike. He pointed the tip of the sword diagonally at the right front of his body and held the bamboo sword diagonally in front of him.
When Qingteng got into this posture, Akabane's bamboo sword happened to fall down - his bamboo sword landed exactly on Qingteng's bamboo sword, no more than one point, and it landed at the lowest point for Qingteng. The best defensive position.
The loud noise of the collision turned into a surging sound wave, sweeping around the two of them.
At the same moment when the bamboo swords struck each other, Qingdeng's vision returned to normal.
The strange world of "air flow" and becoming "transparent", these strange things just appeared and disappeared without even a snap of a finger.
It appeared suddenly and disappeared just as quickly - for a moment, Qingdeng deeply doubted whether he was dreaming.
Although he was very confused about what he saw just now, the current environment did not allow Qingdeng to slowly think about these trivial matters.
Qingden raised his eyes, looked through the two bamboo swords that were racked together, and looked straight ahead, at Akabane's face.
A layer of shock was heavily smeared on Akabane's face.
His heart was screaming hoarsely: Impossible!
Akabane was very confident in the sword he drew.
Regardless of the strength, speed, or timing of the sword, Akabane was very satisfied.
If Qingden only blocked his sword, Akabane wouldn't be so surprised.
But the problem is, Qingdeng Shicai's defense is really unusual.
The speed of defense... can no longer be described with a simple word "fast"!
Akabane could clearly see that before he had just taken off and even raised the bamboo sword, Qingden had already tilted the bamboo sword in his hand in front of him.
It's just... it's just... it's like predicting the future! He knew early on where his sword would strike, so he set the sword in a predetermined defensive position in advance!
Akabane was stunned by the abnormal sight in front of him.
But soon, he could no longer care about the shock.
Qingto, who was in a panic due to completely different things, came to his senses half a step before Akabane.
In the next moment, Qingdeng took quick action.
He gave a short shout, and then shook the hands holding the knife. In an instant, Akabane's bamboo sword, which was held together with Qingden's bamboo sword, seemed to be riding a slide, sliding to the side along the sloping blade of Qingden's bamboo sword that pointed toward the ground.
In the next moment, Qingden turned the edge of the sword, drew a half arc with the bamboo sword, and changed the sword body that was originally pointing diagonally at the ground to pointing diagonally at the sky amid the electric light and flint, and then slashed hard at Akabane.
At this time, Akabane and some of the spectators on the sidelines showed dumbfounded expressions - they were all people who had some knowledge of the major mainstream sword techniques that were popular nowadays.
He first held his sword diagonally in front of him, deflected the opponent's attack, and then swung his sword to counterattack... They all recognized at a glance that the defensive counterattack Qingto had just performed was a classic move with no leakage: Rice Wife!
Facing Aoto's sword, Akabane, who was still immersed in Aoto's "predicting the future" style of defense, was half a beat too slow to react.
Although he quickly dodged and retreated as fast as he could, trying to avoid the sword that was coming straight at him, he still couldn't dodge it.
Qingdeng's bamboo sword made a loud noise.
Akabane's body was hit hard and he fell to the ground in a panic.
【Ding! Scan to talent]
[Successfully copied talent: "Taotie"]
[Talent introduction: It is not easy to get gastrointestinal diseases]
Before Aoto Mirai took office, the strongest person in their third division: Akabane Koichiro... was defeated!
60 people were killed!
Qingdeng did it! He successfully killed 60 people by himself! Defeat them all with a "Likiri!" Defeat the fire thieves and the entire third division!
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely quiet and strange.
After a while, the atmosphere gradually changed.
Just like a spark that starts a prairie fire, more and more people slowly began to look at Qingdeng with respect and admiration.
For example: Aoi Aoi.
This short man, who was unremarkable in both appearance and character, quietly raised his eyelids and gaze in a cautious manner, staring directly at Qingdeng's back, which happened to be facing him... His eyes were filled with tears. The color of longing.
In addition to Aoi and others, there was another group of people who looked at Qingden with completely different looks at this moment - their faces were filled with disbelief.
One person defeats 60 people... Even if the fighting method is not a group battle, but a "cut" one by one, this achievement is already very shocking!
At least many of them had never heard of anyone achieving such a great achievement before.
In addition, there are some people whose expressions are... more subtle. This group of people with subtle expressions is represented by Akabane and Shirasaki.
Akabane, Shirasaki and others all have expressions that are mixed with doubts, unwillingness... and other complex emotions.
"Hello……!"
At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly heard someone calling him.
Turning around, he saw Akabane, whose entire face was the color of pig liver. He pressed one hand on the spot where Qingden had just hit him and stood up unsteadily.
"That move you just made... was the 'rice wife' in Wuwailiu, right?"
Although there is the word "ba" in the sentence pattern, the tone is undoubtedly that of an affirmative sentence.
"Aren't you a swordsman who is natural in Rishin-ryu? Why do you use moves that have no external flow?"
As soon as Akabane finished speaking, a certain team member with a strange accent not far away echoed loudly:
"Yes! Yes! Tachibana-sama, aren't you a natural Rishin-ryu swordsman? How come you can even do the 'monkey cry' of our Shigen-ryu?"
This man was the swordsman who was so frightened by Qingdeng's "ape cry" that he missed his opportunity to fight.
Qingdeng raised his hand to wipe away the sweat that was about to drip down his chin, blinked a few times, thought for a moment, coughed lightly, then straightened his waist, took a deep breath, and raised the corners of his mouth. A faint smile appeared:
"Which school you follow, do you have to use the sword skills of that school?"
Speaking of this, Qingdeng let out a light laugh as if he was laughing at something, and then raised his hand with a calm and carefree look:
"My sword is no longer limited to one sect or one sect. All martial arts schools can be used by me."
As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, everyone around him was stunned for a moment.
Then, the group of people represented by Aoi, who had just looked at Qingden with admiration and longing, suddenly cast even more fiery glances at Qingden.
Some of the people who just looked at Qingden in shock now have slightly changed their eyes, with a touch of awe and respect on their faces.
To be honest, they didn't quite understand what Qingdeng meant by what he just said.
However, they knew that this sentence was very profound! Very famous!
Thinking of Qingdeng's feat of "killing 60 people" just now... the crowd immediately felt that Qingdeng's image suddenly grew taller!
As expected of a benevolent king! His martial arts cultivation has reached a level beyond their comprehension!
"Tachibana-sama!"
At this time, a young man stepped out - it was the man who was very eloquent and who guided Aoto when he first arrived at the Third Division station: Kuroba Shiro.
"It's better to see it than to hear it once, and to try it once is worse than seeing it! Your swordsmanship is really superb!"
Black Feather ran quickly to Qingdeng, his tongue as sharp as the zodiac.
"There are so many of us, but none of them are your opponents."
Having said this, Kuroyu paused for a moment, and then sighed heavily with emotion on his face.
"Tachibana-sama, you are not yet 20 years old this year...you already have such powerful swordsmanship at such a young age, you will definitely become a great swordsman in time!"
"Perhaps, it can also impact the supreme goal that countless warriors strive for all their lives, but regret that they cannot achieve it: unparalleled in the world!"
Qingdeng listened to Heiyu's compliments in silence with an expressionless face.
When Kuroyu finished speaking, a carefree smile appeared on the corner of Qingden's lips.
He looked calm and waved his hands calmly:
"Unparalleled in the world? Why bother?"
