Xingjiu has been practicing martial arts with masters since he was a child, honing his martial arts every day without interruption, and has long since reached the point where man and sword are one.

He slashed the butcher shop princess, not wanting to hurt her, but just wanted to teach her a lesson.

Xingjiu was confident that he could cut the clothes on her back without hurting anyone. Even if the butcher shop princess was faster than he thought, she would not be able to cut her at most. Unless the princess was stupid enough to actively move towards the blade, she would not be able to hurt her.

.

If the princess dodges, Xingjiu will strike one after another, forming a combo, which is basically a sure-win situation. In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken, and Xingjiu's light kung fu is unparalleled. He has defeated countless masters with this trick, without exception.

.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, and today an exception appeared.

It’s not that the butcher shop princess knows any magic like Zhao Hongjun. In ancient times, there were many people who knew magic. Since Big Fat Ball re-established the rules of heaven, the immortals are not willing to be restricted. Those who know this will fly to other places.

The plane has developed.

A few masters like Amen, Mr. Feng, and Mr. Mei would not be so bored as to cause trouble for a mortal like Xingjiu. Except for Zhao Hongjun, a pseudo-immortal, Xingjiu is basically invincible.

Of course, the butcher shop princess was not stupid and would not move towards the blade by herself, and her Qinggong skills did not exceed Xingjiu's expectations. She could not avoid this knife, but her understanding of martial arts exceeded Xingjiu's imagination.

When Xingjiu moved, the butcher shop princess had seen through the path of his knife's attack. She turned the knife in her right hand back, blocking the direction of Xingjiu's attack.

Moving as fast as lightning, he circled behind the butcher princess and slashed her with a knife. Only then did the butcher princess block the knife in place. There was only a harsh sound of the sword clashing, and the two knives collided together.

Originally, when Xingjiu was in his best condition, if the enemy blocked this move, he would have had enough energy to withdraw his sword and attack again.

But today I was tired from traveling for a long time and challenged seven knights in one go. I just drank some wine and my skills have slowed down a little bit.

Just this little bit, the knife was not taken back. The two knives collided, and the heavy boning knife was cut into a gap, but Muramasa suddenly broke into two pieces.

This sword is the most famous sword in the Japanese country. It was a gift from Xingjiu's master. It has been with Xingjiu for nearly twenty years and has been his companion every day. It is almost a part of Xingjiu's body. Now that it is cut off here, Xingjiu feels like he has been struck by lightning.

, stood there stunned for a moment.

At this time, the butcher shop princess, who was relatively slow, had just turned around. When she saw Xingjiu's appearance, she pointed at the broken knife and laughed.

The crowd watching the excitement did not see clearly the fight between the two, but they saw the result. It was obvious that the butcher shop princess had won, and they immediately burst into cheers.

Theoretically, if Xingjiu is in the best condition and can withdraw his sword and attack again, even if the butcher shop princess has a skill similar to the "Dugu Nine Swords" and can predict the enemy's attack, the two sides will fight in a draw at best.

But if you attack and defend, Xingjiu will have the advantage. Defending for a long time will inevitably have flaws. If the butcher shop princess loses her energy, she may be stabbed. As a martial arts master, Xingjiu figured out these truths in an instant.

But I just said, "If you lose, you lose. Don't make excuses."

There is no doubt that he lost this competition. Xingjiu is a real man. He did not emphasize the objective reasons at the moment and bowed to the butcher shop princess. "I lost. I take back what I said. Bordeaux's martial arts is strong.

I'm not as good as that."

Xingjiu slowly picked up the broken knife and followed James back to the manor in despair.

Xingjiu goes to Bordeaux and challenges the Knight of Manon, and the Butcher Shop Princess challenges Xingjiu again. These two battles are the pinnacle showdown of Eastern and Western martial arts, and basically represent the highest level of combat in the cold weapon age.

The Knight of Manon worked as a ranger when he was young, and later became a knight. He is basically the top representative of the Western knight's combat power. He is a master in His Majesty Louis XIII's Guards, and his level is at most about the same as him.

Manon's powerful attack is heavy. If he wears armor and fights on the battlefield, he will be invincible. Xingjiu can only run away. As a ranger, Manon's light kung fu is not very good, so losing to Xingjiu is not unfair.

The butcher shop princess is extremely talented. She has been able to play with the boning knife in the shop since she was a child. After she became sensible, her greatest pleasure was to go to the martial arts training ground of her neighbor, the Manon Knight, to watch people practice martial arts.

.

The old butcher came from a well-to-do family and had a daughter in his old age. He wanted to raise this offspring well so that he could marry into a good family in the future. However, after the butcher princess finished primary school and learned some words, she said she did not want to continue studying.

I go to learn martial arts from Knight Manon every day.

Knight Manon was born in poverty and was an upright man. He did not look down on his fellow villagers just because he became a noble. Seeing that the little girl was diligent and studious, he gave her careful advice.

The butcher shop princess was very talented in martial arts. When she was thirteen or fourteen years old, the Manon knight could no longer teach her. The butcher shop princess was so confident that she repeatedly proposed to join the army and fight with the manon knight and become a noble in the future.

Knight Manon shook his head, "Although your martial arts knowledge has surpassed mine, as a woman, even if you are tall and tall, you are still not as strong as most men who can be knights. When it comes to the battlefield, you are not mine.

opponent.

Until all the men in France are dead, it is impossible for a noble man to recruit a woman to become a knight."

Even Joan of Arc in later generations only served as a spiritual leader, with many knights following and protecting her when charging. The butcher shop princess only had superb martial arts skills, and did not have Joan of Arc's firm belief and appeal. She really had no hope of getting ahead with her martial arts.

.

The Butcher Princess then had the idea of ​​becoming a mercenary and a ranger, traveling around the world, but was dissuaded by the Knight of Manon.

"Your understanding of martial arts exceeds mine, and your movement skills are faster than mine. Being a ranger is just right. But as a mercenary, although you can make some money, your life is chaotic and you have almost no chance of getting ahead.

Your family is well-off, and you can live a happy life as long as you inherit the butcher shop, so why go to the world and live a life of licking blood with a knife?"

The butcher shop princess was quite convinced by the teacher's words. Her father was old and she was the only daughter. If she went to the world to do heroic things, who would serve her?

The old butcher saw that although his daughter did not like to study literature, she had a filial piety. He listened to Manong's advice and was willing to inherit the butcher shop business, which was comforting to him. In the future, he would recruit a son-in-law to continue the butcher shop business and serve as a common citizen.

, it’s a pretty happy day.

If there were no other accidents, the butcher princess would probably have hired a man like the blacksmith's son to come to her house, and quietly open a butcher shop in the countryside. Her whole life would have passed like this, and her martial arts skills, which were as different as those of a Valkyrie, would have been lost in France.

countryside.
