"Yanshan Jinghong Sect? Is it famous?" He Nan didn't know much about Jianghu sect, so he turned his head to Hongyu.
Hong Yu nodded, "The Yanshan Jinghong Sect is the most popular new generation sect in recent years."
Yanshan is a large mountain range located in Luoyan County, and the "Jinghong Sect", a rising star in the martial arts world, also lives here.
"The Jinghong Sect's fame is mainly due to two reasons: First, the Jinghong Sect once won the first place in the Young Heroes Meeting held every five years in the Jianghu, so it naturally became famous. Secondly, the Jinghong Sect is owned by the Jinghong Sect. Everyone in the sect strictly follows the rules of the sect and practices dual-wielding weapons. At first glance, an outsider will think that the first reason is an important reason for the Jinghong Sect to be able to gain a foothold in the world, but only insiders know that this second point is Fundamentally." Hongyu said slowly.
"Why?" He Nan couldn't understand. Shouldn't the most important thing for a sect be achievement? Why would Hongyu say that this weird rule is its foundation?
Hong Yu glanced at He Nan and said with some profound meaning: "Do you think using dual-wielding weapons is easy?"
"The consumption of dual-wielding weapons on the user is extremely huge, and the requirements for the user in terms of strength and talent can be said to be extremely demanding. The battlefield is dangerous and extremely dangerous, and it changes rapidly. Once the physical strength is exhausted and the slightest negligence is waiting for the warrior, The body and head are separated, so there are very few examples of people or soldiers using dual-wielding weapons in combat. The most important thing is that the coordination required by dual-wielding weapons is much more difficult than that of one weapon. Shenfa also has extraordinary limitations..."
"For example... when there is not much difference in size and strength, if the opponent holds a knife with both hands and chops at you, you will definitely not be able to resist it if you block it with one hand, but if you raise the weapon with both hands at the same time, you will be able to block it. Consume more energy, and your energy consumption rate will increase exponentially over time..." Hong Yu explained to He Nan.
In the clearing of the dense forest, Xiao Kelong's double swords spread out, blowing up gusts of fishy wind. Even He Nan could detect that the aura exuded by Xiao Kelong was very different from before - Xiao Kelong had been hiding his strength before, but now he finally showed his strength. The two broad-bladed knives were as fast as thunderbolts, and Xiao Kelong was like a ghost, wandering around Wei Kui.
But Wei Kui seems to still have some strength left - he still uses the cloth stick to defend against the enemy. Although Wei Kui has been defending and blocking, his movements are much more skillful than Xiao Kelong's, and he is more capable of breaking through. The power of chance.
"Speed up!" Hong Yu suddenly blurted out, so shocked that He Nan also concentrated his energy.
Xiao Kelong's offensive suddenly became fierce. If it was a gentle breeze and snow just now, it was now a violent wind and rain. The two swords in his hands stabbed left and right, and finally caught Wei Kui's flaw——
Compared with a single sword, in most cases, the power of a double sword will be insufficient, because a single sword is held by both hands, and the power of slashing will definitely be greater than that of holding a sword in each hand. This is true even for those with innate supernatural power - -The cutting power of a knife held with two hands must be greater than that of a knife held with one hand. What's more, people have different handedness. In actual combat, dual-wielding weapons are often limited due to human instinct, physical fitness, strength and other factors. Therefore, dual-wielding weapons has always been regarded as a flashy technique or even heresy by many warriors. …
In other words, if dual-wielding weapons are really greater than single weapons, then single weapons should have been widely used to this day.
The Jinghong Sect... found a new way in this situation and set a precedent. This sect only teaches dual-wielding weapons. If the disciples cannot master this technique, they will be kicked out without mercy. When the first-generation leader first established the sect, he was alone with a few disciples. These disciples were already very talented, but they were also very competitive - one of them showed up at the Young Heroes Conference and defeated the winner in one fell swoop. The popular figure made Jinghong Sect famous and made Jinghong Sect widely known. This also allowed Jinghong Sect to gain momentum and become one of the first-class sects in the world.
Although most of the disciples of the Jinghong Sect are still not outstanding in strength, and even if they changed to practice single swords and guns, their attainments may be far better than they are now, but these people still stubbornly choose to dual-wield weapons... because there have been some among them. A role model who conquers countless young talents and comes from a well-known and upright family.
Xiao Kelong suddenly stopped his offensive under the fierce attack, and suddenly retracted his two swords. Wei Kui had become accustomed to such violent attacks. When the opponent suddenly withdrew his attack, he was unable to continue due to inertia. At this moment, Xiao Kelong made two swords at the same time and aimed directly at Wei Kui. And go away from the throat.
Jinghong sect’s martial skill——Xiao Xuan.
When the user of the double sword had an advantage on the scene but was unable to break through the opponent's defense and cause substantial damage, he imitated the method of raptors attacking prey - at the moment before the attack, the prey was ready to take countermeasures and suddenly hovered, directly in advance. Attack the vulnerability created by attacking the prey.
To put it simply - I predicted your prediction.
Xiao Kelong relied on this move "Xiao Xuan"... to break through Wei Kui's defense. The broad-bladed knife in his left hand cut open Wei Kui's left shoulder. This was the first drop of blood the two had seen since their battle.
He finally forced Wei Kui to attack him.
"Come on... show your halberds!" Xiao Kelong's eyes turned red when he saw the blood. He was now full of fighting spirit, "Don't look down on me too much!"
Hong Yu saw that the one who entered the city first was the seemingly weaker Xiao Kelong. He remembered something and asked mysteriously: "Do you know who the person who once won the championship for the Jinghong Sect is?"
When He Nan heard Hong Yu ask this question, he knew that this person must be someone he knew, and he already had a guess in his mind - "Brother Yan?"
Hongyu nodded, "Exactly."
"Nine years ago, Brother Yan was slightly older than you and me, but he was still only twenty. After a hard fight, he used the 'Xiao Xuan' move that Xiao Kelong had just used and then defeated him with one blow. The enemy defeated the biggest favorite to win the championship that year, the top martial arts sect in today’s martial arts, the young master Kong Ming of Xumi Temple in Hebei..."
The person who gained fame for Jinghong Sect was none other than Yan Chunlai. As for the story that Yan Chunlai bid farewell to his disciples after winning the championship, traveled around the world, and was taken under Li Zhanchun's command due to some chance, the story is not known to the world, and people only know that this person has disappeared from everyone.
Wei Kuituo was hurt by Xiao Kelong, so naturally he was angry and evil. He was conceited about his strength and wanted to play with this pretty good little guy, but he didn't expect that this kid was actually here for his own life. "Then I will do as you wish now...be serious."
As soon as he finished speaking, he tore the cloth bag in his hand to pieces, revealing a pair of one-eared halberds that were more than ten feet long inside. The pair of halberds were covered in iron-black color, and there was a faint red glow on the halberd blades, as if blood was flowing from them.
Wei Kui wielded his two halberds, which was completely different from his lazy and casual attitude just now. Xiao Kelong had just made a thought to strike first, but he saw that the two halberds were already in front of him.
It was so fast... The lightning, the white rainbow piercing the sun, couldn't describe the scene in front of Xiao Kelong. He only felt as if a mountain fell from the sky and hit him, and after one mountain there were countless more mountains waiting. . He twisted his body and kept retreating, and then he retreated and dodged - and the more he dodged, the more ferocious Wei Kui's attack became.
He will not give you a way out. The more you retreat, the stronger he will become. Only then did Xiao Kelong realize that everything Wei Kui had shown just now was like playing with a child, and his words might have really rubbed the tiger's beard - when facing Wei Kui, he could not take a step back. .
"Then I will... not retreat ah ah ah ah!" Xiao Kelong fought and retreated. There was no way out. When he saw that he was about to be forced into the dense forest by Wei Kui, he suddenly shouted and jumped into the air with a kick. Stepping on the thick trunk of a tree behind me. He took advantage of the force and went up, his two swords whirling, moving forward together, vowing to have a head-on confrontation with Wei Kui.
Wei Kui faced two swords coming out at the same time, and only blocked them with a halberd with his right hand. A single halberd faced two swords, and one of the swords struck the ear of the halberd. Wei Kui twisted it hard, and the sword flew straight out.
If you fight against Wei Kui, retreating will be a big disadvantage. Failure to retreat will be the worst disadvantage.
The difference in body size and strength between the two people is indeed quite obvious. Wei Kui is nine feet tall, with bear arms and tiger spine, like a god and Buddha descending to earth, and a demon born; while Xiao Kelong is also relatively strong, but in front of Wei Kui he just looks like a monster. Like a little kitten.
"Is this...done?" He Nan was already shocked by what he saw. He originally thought that there would be a big battle between the two after Wei Kui showed off his favorite weapon... Unexpectedly, in less than ten rounds, after a few breaths, Jian Xiao Kelong even had his knife knocked away.
Hongyu held her face in her hands, looking uninterested. "Isn't this an obvious thing... That kid is at most the same age as you and me. He has a fair amount of talent, but it's obvious from a glance that he hasn't experienced much real fighting with swords and guns. If I were to deal with him... I would probably It won't waste much effort. If Brother Yan comes up with ten basic skills to deal with me, it won't be too difficult... This Wei Kui is probably the second brother to Brother Yan. Brother Yan learned from the sect and is stronger in body skills; Wei Kui He was born in the army, and his moves are not subtle, but he is better because of his brute strength and the fact that he has experienced life-and-death fights on the real battlefield..."
"Both of them are better than me. You can only know who wins and who loses after fighting. I can't judge easily...but there are several levels of difference between the two people in front of me." Hongyu said slowly.
While the two were talking, they heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from the distance. The sound of hoofbeats sounded like there were about ten horses riding on them. It was continuous but not chaotic. It must be a well-trained army that can be so organized.
He Nan had already heard someone running towards this side, and he was thinking that it might be the pursuers - but he didn't know whether they were coming for him or Wei Kui. He hurriedly pulled Hongyu onto his horse and rushed into the open space between the dense forests, directly taking them. Wei Kui and Xiao Kelong.
Xiao Kelong followed the two of them out of the city, but Wei Kui did not. For a while, the four of them looked at each other in three places. Wei Kui thought that these two people were Xiao Kelong's reinforcements, but Xiao Kelong thought that these two people were Wei Kui's accomplices.
"Brother Wei is good at martial arts... I admire him deeply." He Nan reined in the reins and stopped between the two of them. "I just had an encounter with Brother Wei in the restaurant. I wonder if Brother Wei remembers it. While the officers and soldiers were evacuating the diners, I kept observing in the dark..."
"Are you also with him?" Wei Kui pointed his halberd at He Nan with an unkind look on his face.
"No, no, no... I am an idler in the mountains and fields. I traveled around, and I started to make friends with Brother Wei after seeing his martial arts skills..."
Wei Kui snorted coldly, obviously very suspicious of He Nan. "I'm just a deserter from the army. What can I make friends with? If you really want to make friends, just get off your horse and measure your abilities first."
He Nan saw that Wei Kui had not finished enjoying himself, with a look of helplessness on his face. "Brother Wei, you also know that you are... Listen carefully to the neighing of horses around here. Maybe the messenger has called for reinforcements... Why don't you leave with us first? We might as well talk about the discussion later."
At this time, Wei Kui also heard the sounds of killing and the smoke and dust, and his face changed slightly. He has served in the Sirius Army for many years, how could he not know that such a marching method must be the pursuit of the Sirius Army? But he did the so-called desertion not because he was afraid of death, but for another reason. At this time, the pursuers had arrived, and the interest that had finally been aroused by that small official could not be eliminated. I hesitated for a while whether to fight or to leave.
Xiao Kelong had just been shaken by Wei Kui's huge power. Half of his body was numb from the shock. He was half-kneeling on the ground to rest with his knife in hand. Naturally, he was unwilling to let Wei Kui go, let alone two more suspicious people appeared in front of him. characters. At this time, he didn't care whether he had any remaining strength, so he rose up with a single sword and attacked Wei Kui, hoping to stop him and buy some time for reinforcements.
And the next moment when Xiao Kelong dragged himself forward, the first cavalry among the pursuers also came through the wind and through the forest. The brown-maned horse leaped into the air, and the cavalry on the horse raised their guns and poked their heads. Take it straight to Wei Kui's throat.
