The nickname "Long Mao" is derived from the long and short, the hair of the hair.
As the name suggests, this guy's hair is naturally thicker, to the point where it can be considered an obvious feature.
Some people may want to say, in this martial arts world, most people have long hair, how can you tell that he is thicker than others?
Oh, you can figure this out yourself.
But... considering the conduct of all readers who have read this book to this point, I judge that you will definitely go to the third route as soon as you think about it, so after you have thought about it, I still have to help you.
Click it out...
Just think about it, in those days, in the summer, it was extremely hot, so these thugs from gangs went out wearing short jackets, rolled up their trouser legs, and exposed their chests and legs. It was quite normal, right?
Then in this state, if there is a brother who has an amazing amount of hair on his chest, armpits, arms, and legs, wouldn't it be obvious at a glance?
"Long-haired" is nicknamed because the amount of hair in these places is different from ordinary people.
Of course, Changmao is on stage today not because he has long hair, but because he can fight and is loyal.
Among the brothers under Da Da, Chang Mao has been with him the longest. In addition, Chang Mao is also one of the top mid-level thugs in the Longmen Gang, so it is logical for Da Da to let him join.
It's just... Da Dai also knows very well that although Changmao is quite capable of fighting, it may be difficult to win in this "Dragon Head Cup".
Even if we don’t take into account Luo Yu, Dong Xiao, Zhao Youyou and other masters outside the gang, just talk about the inside of the gang... The most recognized thug of the Longmen Gang is currently the "flying chicken" under the Yu Toubiao... Long-haired Flying Chicken
If you can't beat a chicken, how can you talk about winning the championship?
Some people may ask, didn't Da Dai hire the Three-Character King before? Then if he hired the other party again and let the Three-Character King be his fighter, wouldn't he be stable?
Damn, do you think he hasn’t been there? The problem is that the three-character king doesn’t take orders.
The Three-Word King has already said before that he is a killer and basically does not accept any business other than killing people. He does not do anything like "bodyguard", let alone show up to fight for you.
To take a step back, even if he is really willing to play for you, are you sure he is suitable to participate in this kind of game?
His "silent" swordsmanship is specially used for killing people. Every shot will kill someone. If the opponent's strength does not reach a certain level, he will instantly kill him. This kind of person... If you let him go to the competition, if you encounter him on the way to promotion,
Those few gang leaders who took action personally killed people, and you just took care of them?
Therefore, this matter can only be dropped.
Let's get back to the topic... The process and result of the game before us were all uneventful. Sun and Huang didn't even have time to explain a few words. Dong Xiao defeated Changmao within ten moves.
Da Dai didn't say anything. He just calmly asked his men to help the slightly injured Changmao down, and then continued to watch the game.
As for his mentality, those of you who have read the previous chapters of the book should all understand: under the guidance of Uncle Deng, Da Dai has basically given up on fighting for the top spot, and instead turned his goal to the position of leader of the Longmen Gang.
This point coincides with A-Bin.
The difference is that one of them thought of taking a step back after being reminded by others, while the other made his own decision after considering the situation.
However... in the eyes of passersby, the scene at this moment is abnormal.
Ah Zhi is a person who usually has a smile on his face. There are very few things that can cause him to show panic. So when Ma Chu lost just now, even if Ah Zhi reacted calmly, no one would be surprised, let alone no one.
You can see his true inner thoughts.
And Da Da is a person with a flamboyant personality. When he encounters something unpleasant, he will often curse and smash things... He is actually so calm after being eliminated? Isn't this wrong?
Of course, it's strange. It's impossible for anyone to come up to him and ask him: "Hey? Bro, why didn't you get angry when you lost?"
Furthermore, the competition was one after another, and everyone's attention was quickly attracted to the stage by the commentary, and they went to watch the next game, so this article will be over for the time being.
Little did Da Da know at this time that his reaction after his defeat would bring him unexpected trouble soon...
…………
There is a way of saying that if there is a book, it will be long; if there is no book, it will be short.
Let's make a long story short, after the big game where the big guys were eliminated, there were several more showdowns with clearly defined strengths and weaknesses in the arena, and before we knew it, this "Dragon Head Cup" had already entered the quarter-final stage.
The last four matches are as follows -
The first game: "Farewell at First Sight" Luo Yu (the leader of the Linhao Clan, playing on his own behalf), versus the "Overlord Double Stick" Qu Dashui (playing on behalf of the Tongbai Clan).
The second game: Wu Dai (playing on behalf of the Cangdu Gang) versus "Zhentian Tiger" Yao Qiang (playing on behalf of the Zhenyun Gang).
The third game: Fei Ji (playing on behalf of his eldest brother "Yutoubiao", which can also be regarded as representing the Longmen Gang), against "Miao Zhi Ling Xi" Chen Ah Cai (playing on behalf of the Six Arts Club).
Game 4: "Shadowless Sword" Zhao Yuanyuan (playing on behalf of Tingfeng Tower) versus "Malay Yama" Dong Xiao (playing on behalf of himself).
There is no doubt that the lower limit for a fighter who can reach the top eight is not too low, but as for the upper limit... it's hard to say.
You know, the water on Green Forest Road is also very deep.
There are quite a few "swordsman-level" figures like Zhao Youyou who are top-notch masters in the world, and above them, there are two levels: "Sword Demon" and "Sword Immortal".
It's just that those two levels of experts are unlikely to participate in a competition like today.
The reason is also very simple: in terms of Jianghu Dao, the super-first-class and top-level masters are either the big shots at the master level and deputy master level, or they are the kind of lone rangers, otherworldly experts, etc., unless they are representatives
His sect goes out to fight, otherwise who can invite them to fight?
There is another big difference between Lulin and Jianghu, that is, they do not have so many "high-ranking sects", let alone "famous families"; because they are involved in "gray" or even "black" business,
Most of the gang members are ruffians and hawkers, with backgrounds as bandits and hooligans. The threshold for joining a gang is very low, and martial arts are generally not taught internally. Therefore, the scale of the gang is basically not large. At most, it can only be as big as one of the "four sects and three gangs".
"Three Gangs" level.
This leads to...the top experts on the Green Forest Road are almost all people who work alone and do not rely on gangs; they have no interest in getting involved in competing for the "leader".
Just like Jiang Muchan, before he was dragged into the Hunyuan Star Gate, who was the leader in the Green Forest Road, did it have anything to do with him? Who was the leader, wouldn't he still be a thief single-handedly?
To sum up, although none of the top eight in today's Dragon Head Cup are particularly weak, from a book perspective, the most powerful ones are at the "Swordsman level" level.
"Okay, what's about to begin now is the first match of eight to four, led by Luo Yuluo, against Qu Dashui." When Huang Donglai reported the player's name, he omitted the nickname and who he represented.
Because these top eight players have each appeared twice in the previous rounds, even if the audience doesn't know them, they should remember them after listening to them twice.
Following his announcement, Luo Yu and Qu Dashui also came on stage and greeted each other with fists in their hands.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them got into a stance and prepared to fight.
As for Luo Yu, as we mentioned in the previous document, he is two feet tall, has a sturdy back, a red face, and a long beard. He looks like the reincarnation of Guan Gong. Let’s just say that his arms... are trained to be like ordinary people’s legs.
It is of average thickness, and at first glance, it looks like a master of heavy long weapons.
As for Naqu Dashui, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is also 1.8 meters tall, has a majestic appearance, is as strong as an ox, and has amazing physical strength. If you look at his body size alone, he will not be at a disadvantage against Luo Yu; look again
The pair of iron rods in his hands were both three feet long and made of fine iron. The surface of the rods was covered with green and brown textures, which were stained by being struck with other weapons and stained with blood over the years.
These two people just went there to fight, and the audience below was immediately in awe.
Even the duo on the commentary desk became particularly focused because they could feel that this was going to be a very fierce contest.
Sooner or later, after a brief confrontation, Luo Yu took the lead in attacking. He lowered his waist, spun his body, and slashed sideways with his sword.
In an instant, the blade of Huanglong's Yanyue Sword flashed, the blade's light shimmered brightly, and it came with the wind.
Seeing this, Qu Dashui held the iron rod backwards with his left hand, blocked it with his arms, and thrust the rod forward with his right hand to attack Na Luo Yu's left ribs.
Although Qu Dashui looks like a reckless man from his appearance to his nickname, in fact, this person is also rough and subtle... I wonder if you still remember that in the first round of the first game, Luo Yu
In the fight against Gong Jingyi, Gong Jingyi's last life-saving blow hit Luo Yu's torso, but he was not strong enough to cause serious damage to Luo Yu, but he was knocked off the stage by the counterattack.
But no matter what, a minor injury is still an injury.
As long as you are still a human being, it will always take time to recuperate from an injury, whether it is three days, five days, ten days and a half month, it will take some time anyway; in just one or two hours, the injury cannot be restored to its original state without any impact.
.
At the moment, Qu Dashui took this point in mind and gave priority to attacking the place where Luo Yu was hit by Gong Jingyi.
This... is called combat experience.
And there is no such thing as despicable or despicable. The game is like this. What you have to do is to seize all available conditions to win. If the opponent was injured in the previous game, that is the opponent's problem. You have no obligation to deal with it.
Make a concession.
How to maximize your strength in the knockout stage before the finals so that you don't get injured, overdraft, or expose too much information is also part of your strength.
In every battle, you go all out and think hard, and in the end you have to rely on explosive breakthroughs to barely defeat your opponent. Sometimes you even have to rely on luck, talk, or the sympathy of your opponent to successfully pass... That is the protagonist of the royal blood series.
Or the special treatment only given to the author's own son. In reality, even if there is a miracle like "Shobei wins the King of the Mountain", there is a high probability that after the miracle, Shobei will be eliminated in the next round due to overdraft.
"Qu Dashui has taken the lead! The offensive is continuous! Gang leader Luo is retreating! He is slowly approaching the edge of the ring!" Sun Yixie couldn't tell the martial arts skills of these two people, but he was still very proficient in "speaking by looking at the pictures"
of.
"Don't panic, these two people both have masculine internal strength, and their main training is the hard work of the third level. The difference is not big. In my opinion, Gang Leader Luo will be able to stop the retreat immediately and enter a stalemate with the opponent.
"Huang Donglai analyzed it and made a judgment.
What he said...is not wrong.
But players and commentators have different perspectives.
From the perspective of the commentator, Huang Donglai believed that Luo Yu would confront his opponent head-on, and as long as he did so, he could hold on to the edge of the stage and enter a stalemate with the opponent.
But Luo Yu doesn't necessarily have to choose this way...
Gang leader Luo is not just a "head-to-head" approach. He is "the most ruthless person in Dingyuan", but he is not the "most stupid person". Naqu Dashui is not the only one who has rough things but fine things.
锔——
In the next second, Luo Yu's footwork changed, his body curled up, he swung his sword around, and with one big move, "Turning the River and the Sea," he was able to frighten him three steps down.
Although this move bought him some room to pull, Qu Dashui could see at a glance that the closing movement of this move was very large and it would take time to adjust his posture, so after a brief retreat, Qu Dashui immediately charged forward again.
, prepare to catch the flaw in Luo Yu's attack.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qu Dashui took half a step forward, a bright light refracted by the blade swept towards his face, blinding him immediately.
"Nah Ni? Sun Fist!" Brother Sun may not be able to understand other moves, but like this kind of dirty move, and it is a dirty move that Brother Sun himself has used, he can react instantly.
Of course, most of the people present could not understand the two words he blurted out.
"Oh! The Huanglong Yanyue Sword has such a wonderful effect?" Huang Donglai also reacted to Brother Sun's reminder, and immediately understood that this was one of the uses of Luo Yu's "treasure weapon", which was similar to Brother Sun's three-pronged sword.
Halberds have different approaches but the same purpose.
While the two were in awe of each other, Luo Yu on the stage had already withdrawn his moves and turned around, seizing the few seconds when Qu Dashui was "blinded" to switch from defense to offense; he first used a move to "sweep thousands of troops", and Qu Dashui was "blinded" for a few seconds.
The flood forced him back to the center of the ring, and then he performed the "Old Monk Sweeping Leaves" move, slashing the opponent's ankle with a knife.
By this time, Qu Dashui's vision had recovered somewhat, and he could clearly see the incoming direction of the blade. He quickly lunged back, tilted his probing stick downwards, suddenly dropped his center of gravity, and leaned sideways to hold the blade.
But as soon as he blocked this move, Luo Yu jumped up, flew one foot in the air, and hit the opponent with a "Force Splitting Huashan" attack on his head.
Everyone knows that this move is made from top to bottom and is powerful and heavy... It is best not to hit it forcefully.
Sun and Huang in the commentary box also shouted loudly that this move was unacceptable.
It's a pity... At this time, Qu Dashui's body was tilted and his center of gravity was deflected. He was unable to dodge and had to carry it.
His pair of iron rods are undoubtedly good weapons. In addition, Luo Yu's "Huanglong Yanyue Sword" is not as powerful as Sun Ge's trident, so the two have fought back and forth until now, and there is no difference between them.
The weapon is easily destroyed.
But if you want Qu Dashui to use an iron rod to catch this move, the force of gravity acceleration, body weight and internal force that comes down straight down will split Huashan... Even if he uses all his strength, raises his double sticks high, and crosses them to block, he still can't avoid it.
The result of the weapon being split.
pong——
Sure enough, with a loud sound, the "Overlord Double Sticks" turned into four parts.
After Luo Yu's blade broke through the blockage of the opponent's weapon, it suddenly slowed down and barely stopped in front of Qu Dashui's forehead.
At this point, the outcome has been decided.
Qu Dashui has nothing to complain about. This is the reason why "knights" on the Green Forest Road are a higher level than "righteous men" - maybe your ability is 50-50 equal to that of the opponent, but at critical moments, you can tell the difference with the sword.
Just like that, amidst the applause from the audience, Gang Leader Luo reached the semi-finals.
Although Qu Dashui was defeated, he did not lose face because he lost with a sword. The Tongbai Gang he represented was a gang that had no hope of competing for the top spot. However, it still showed its face this time.
deficit.
However, the second eight-to-four contest that is about to begin will not be so "friendly".
That was the Cangdu Gang versus the Zhenyun Gang.
The head-on conflict between the two masters of Green Forest Road, Water Road and Land Road is undoubtedly the battle that attracts the most attention among these four games.
Many people know Yao Qiang, the fighting master sent by Zu Tingfeng. Yao Qiang is also a "swordsman-level" master like Zhao Tongtao, and his reputation and achievements are even better than those of Yao Qiang.
.
But Wu Dai sent by Hao Jingyu is a bit subtle...
This man has an average appearance, a medium build, and his martial arts skills are ordinary.
Before today, no one had ever heard of such a leading figure, and no one recognized him after he came to power.
In the previous two rounds of competition, Wu Dai did not encounter any particularly strong opponents. The way he won the two games was to fight the opponent with about 20 moves using ordinary and not very subtle moves, and then he found a flaw.
Knock the opponent off the stage, overall... its strength is not much stronger than those two opponents.
Someone must have said something when seeing this - "Based on my many years of reading experience, this guy is definitely a hidden master."
