Master descends to earth

Chapter 123

"This is the method of three setbacks!"

Yagyu Zaemon sighed: "Chiba Shusaku, a great swordsman in the late Tokugawa period, divided the attack of kendo into three types, also known as the three-kill method. Killing sword, killing technique, and murderous aura, this is the three-kill."

"The so-called swordsman suppresses the three inches of the tail of the enemy's sword to the right, and then suppresses it to the left or pushes it away from the left and right. It makes the tip of the sword unable to keep in the middle, pointing to the front of our side, and the enemy's sword cannot be used. The state of attack is called killing the sword."

"The so-called killing skills, when the opponent's swordsmanship is superior and difficult to deal with, they attack the weaknesses of the opponent's moves fiercely. Because every move has advantages and weaknesses. If you attack its weak side violently, its ultimate move cannot be used."

"For example, just now, Shenhou Zongzhi's ultimate move is the jumping face. Its weakness is the hands and torso at the moment of the move. Long Ming counterattacked with the wind slash. Both sides have their own advances and retreats."

"For those with murderous intent, the opponent has strong fighting spirit and is unstoppable. At this time, you should continuously attack the body, or continuously attack the starting hand to frustrate the opponent's courage to attack, which is murderous intent. At the moment when the opponent launches the attack, if the opponent is frustrated several times in a row , that is, it is easy to get discouraged and have flaws."

Su Yuan nodded, the layman watched the excitement, while the expert watched the doorway.All eyes on the scene were firmly attracted by the two warriors, showing their high level.

I saw Yagyu Longming taking two steps back fiercely, pointing his swords directly at the enemy. The upper Dantian and the lower Dantian were connected as a line. The handle of the knife and the tip of the knife pointing to the opponent's upper Dantian were connected as a line. The upper Dantian of both sides were connected as a line. , forming a triangle.

"See you in the triangle!"

Yagyu Zaemon said seriously: "This is one of the mysteries of Xinyinliu. The method of observing the enemy, the sword must be unstoppable, the defense must be firm, and the attack must be fierce. The tip of the knife must always move vertically below the line between the upper dantian of the opponent. Never deviate.”

With a sudden shout, he stepped forward, and Long Zhan slashed at the enemy, protecting his chest with dragon blood, waiting for an opportunity to move.Shenhou Zongzhi took a deep breath, and the boy faced the difficulty, sparks flew, and the second round of attack began.

"The suspension is the same, as expected of a top master, both of them have reached the state of consistency in offense and defense!"

"That's right, Yagyu Ryuumei's suspended position just now turned out to be an attack and defense action at the same time. It's amazing..."

"Shenhou Zongzhi deserves to be Beichen's strongest samurai. One sword style has a unique move called cutting down. When the opponent attacks, I also attack, chopping the opponent's sword down to defend myself, and attacking the opponent at the same time. This is the non-contradictory attack and defense. , the action has two functions."

In the blink of an eye, the two had already clashed for more than 3 minutes, and it could be said that they met each other. The strength of Shenhou Zongzhi has long been known, and he is one of the big favorites in this competition.

On the contrary, Liu Sheng Longming, who was originally unknown, was astonishing. The results of the first two times were not satisfactory. I didn't expect to see him in just one year, and he had reached such a level!

"Three first!"

Yagyu Zaemon looked at Yagyu Ryuumei's increasingly fierce attacks and said with satisfaction: "The first is the first, the first is the first, and the last is the first. The master must seize the fleeting opportunity to win first."

"Kendo attaches great importance to attacking first. Attack is the best defense. Always attacking first is the safest attack. If you wait for the opponent to attack and then defend, this is by no means a reliable defense."

"When the opponent's first attack action has not been revealed, but I make the first attack, and I have to detect the opponent's thoughts in advance, which is a high skill. Miyamoto Musashi's posthumous 35 Art of War is called "I suspend the enemy first."

After Su Yuan listened to the explanation, Liu Shenglong Ming, who became more and more courageous in the field, after several life-and-death battles, was more comfortable using the dragon's blood.Compared with other masters, this is the biggest shortcoming.

Whether it is the Juyi character, or Leiqie and Tongziqie, they have been passed down for hundreds of years. After several generations of continuous research and exploration, the moves have long been familiarized by heart, and they can be picked up naturally.

Even if Long Zhan and Dragon Blood are custom-made, the time is too short after all, if there is more time to hone in, Liu Shenglong Ming's strength will definitely be improved to a higher level.

Yagyu Zaemon stared at the moves of the two, and couldn't help sighing: "As expected, Beichen is the strongest. Facing such an onslaught of Erdao Style, he didn't mess up at all. After using it, he braked quietly first, trying to consume our strength."

"Every time Liusheng Longming rushed in, Zongzhi, the empress of the gods, would cut, push, hold, and sweep away the boy, in order to respond to the chance of winning with the saber technique."

"This is what Article 35 of the Art of War calls the move when we are hanging on the edge of the enemy. There is a possibility of missing the enemy's sword. It requires calmness, courage and a high degree of skill. It is a move used by high-level swordsmen."

Next to her, Emi Yagyu stared intently, showing expressions of enlightenment from time to time, as if she had entered a state of enlightenment.Yagyu Zaemon reassured: "Emi has been stuck in a bottleneck for several years. This is a situation where she is not bound by a rope. She often stays behind at a certain stage in learning swordsmanship. Although she practices diligently every day, she still loses to the younger generation. The opportunity is there, the sword moves too far and misses, the more anxious the mind is, the more disobedient the hands and feet become."

"Too stick to the moves learned in the past, and the opponent sees through the flaws of the moves, which leads to being attacked by opponents who are weaker than me and unable to counterattack. I often feel uneasy, restless, and even hate practicing swords."

"We must update our concepts, not seeking to hit or win. If we often change the way we practice swordsmanship, we will naturally gradually be able to perform free and unrestrained sword moves. A new realm with vast sky and sea will naturally unfold, and we can enjoy higher progress at will. "

Su Yuan smiled, the little girl's talent is not low, both kendo and swordcasting have a high level of comprehension, follow her own to improve, it is the greatest sense of accomplishment of being a teacher.

Four minutes had passed, and the first round was about to end. Looking up at Dozikiri, the light was dim, like a candle in the wind, crumbling.

Being able to survive the overwhelming attack of two purple light knives up to now has already performed exceptionally well. If it weren't for the god empress Zongzhi's ability to attack and defend, he would have been cut in half long ago.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan straightened his body and patted his hands lightly six times. This was the secret signal agreed with Liu Shenglong Ming in advance.One stroke represents one inch, and six strokes represent six inches of the blade, which is the weakness of Mingmen.

Quick fight!

When Liu Sheng Longming heard the secret signal, his heart was surging, his eyes flashed brightly, he took a step back, took a deep breath, reached his dantian, folded his hands together, crossed the dragon's blood on his chest, and shouted loudly:
Windward Cross Slash!
