"Can we start?" Nangong Ling's patience has reached its limit. It's not because her opponent looks down on her and declares victory in the ring, but...it's been more than an hour. Can we still fight in the ring?
"The 50-win ring battle is about to begin! Both sides please take their seats! Get ready!" The Wulin League judge picked up the mallet and walked to the gong...
Boom! The gong resounded throughout the audience, and the competition between Nangong Ling and Lu Jia officially kicked off.
However, what surprised many onlookers was that after waiting for more than an hour, the two swordsmen who were finally about to start fighting stopped standing still after the gong sounded. What happened?
"Why didn't Miss Nangong draw her sword?" Lu Jia watched very curiously. He didn't understand why Nangong Ling stood motionless on the spot, showing no signs of attacking.
Just now when the Jianghu warriors were placing their bets, Lu Jiayou consulted the warriors of the Seven Young Leagues about what was going on in the battle between Nangong Ling and Tai Shihe.
There is no doubt that Tai Shi He is a very powerful man, and Lu Jia doesn't think Nangong Ling can defeat him.
Later, Lu Jia got the information that Nangong Ling was an aggressive and aggressive swordsman. Tai Shihe didn't want to fight her in the ring, so he jumped out of the ring and surrendered.
Because of this, Lu Yucai emphasized that even if he used Lujiazhuang's martial arts skills to fight Nangong Ling to the death, he would still win the ring battle.
However, the current situation is a bit abnormal. Nangong Ling, who is extremely aggressive, stands quietly on the ring with no tendency to take action.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! Lu Jia felt good about himself and thought, maybe Nangong Ling felt that there was no chance of winning and wanted to take the initiative to admit defeat to him?
So Lu Jia did not take the initiative to attack, but asked Nangong Ling why he didn't draw his sword.
"Aren't you going to show Lujiazhuang's swordsmanship?" Nangong Ling's handsome Yanran showed a contemptuous smile. She just stood in the ring with her left arm resting on the hilt of the saber on her left waist.
, raised his right hand, pointed at Lu Jia and made a hook, silently conveying a message... Use all your strength to let the horse come over.
Since the fight with Ximen Lengbang of the Temple of the Dead, Sister Nangong's martial arts level has reached the critical point of the late peak. Lu Jia, the swordsman of Lujiazhuang, cannot arouse Sister Nangong's fighting spirit at all.
In other words, Nangong Ling jumped into the ring with the intention of heading towards the Bahuang of Baize Tiangong. Who knew that there was an ignorant guy who was seeking his own death?
"Good! Very good! It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! Self-righteousness is as high as the sky! Don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless today!" Lu Jia's face wrinkled, unable to hide the anger in his heart.
Nangong Ling actually asked him to make moves in the ring. What a look down on people!
Since his opponent is so arrogant, Lu Jia wants her to feel the sharpness of Lujiazhuang's sword skills!
"Open the sword!" Lu Jia's eyes flashed with murderous intent. In the flash of lightning, he appeared in front of Nangong Ling and slashed diagonally from bottom to top.
"So fast!" The martial arts warriors who were watching the 50-win game witnessed the offensive scene in front of them, and they all sighed inwardly. Such fast movement skills actually shortened the distance between them and Nangong Ling in an instant.
If the opponent does not react quickly enough, his abdomen will be cut by his smart blade. Just one cut can penetrate the intestines, rupture the belly, and seriously injure him to the point of death...
"She ducked!"
After the continuation of 'so fast', the martial arts warriors who were watching the arena exclaimed again.
Nangong Ling's movements were swift and agile, and her speed was not inferior to Lu Jia's. Everyone saw her move back a step, and she managed to evade it with just a slight difference.
A very dangerous blow.
"No!" Xiong Gaowen, the 'Tiandao' who fought against Zhou Xingyun and others yesterday, immediately rejected the arbitrary statements of most of the onlookers.
Sooner or later, when Nangong Ling took a step back to dodge Lu Jia's attack, it should have been just in time to avoid the blade in front of him without any injury. However, when the blade came close to Nangong Ling's clothes, the edge suddenly extended outward...
Sensing something unusual, Nangong Ling kicked the ground hard with her heels, and her figure quickly retreated backwards.
Whoa! A wisp of cold light flashed through. Even though Nangong Ling noticed something unusual and immediately retreated, the edge of her clothes was still touched by the tip of the knife, and her neckline seemed to have been cut by scissors, leaving a gap.
The warriors in the martial arts world who witnessed this scene all broke out in a cold sweat for Nangong Ling. The secret path was so dangerous!
‘Heavenly Sword’ Xiong Gaowen saw the martial arts warriors around him, and they were all dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but smile and said: “The offensive of Lujiazhuang to receive the swordsman is not over yet! The main show is only starting now!”
Why did the blade in Lu Jia's hand suddenly extend outward? The principle is very simple. He let go...
Nangong Ling took a step back, and Lu Jia concluded that the blade could not touch her, so he let go during the diagonal slash, causing the blade to extend outward.
If Nangong Ling didn't notice the abnormality and suddenly used force to retreat quickly, she would be cut open from her chest to her neck.
However, even if Nangong Ling instantly retreated with all her strength and successfully dodged Lu Jia's first strike, Lu Jia's second strike came immediately after her center of gravity was unstable.
Just as "Heavenly Sword" Xiong Gaowen said, Lu Jia's offensive is not over yet, and the good show is only happening now.
When Lu Jia slashed Nangong Ling diagonally from bottom to top with his first knife, he let go of his hand, so that the blade extended and scratched Nangong Ling's skirt. So how did he launch the second offensive at this moment?
The answer is...cotton rope and scabbard.
A cotton rope is tied to the 'ring head' at the end of the handle of the Huanshou knife to link the Huanshou knife and the scabbard together.
Lu Jia held the knife in his right hand and slashed Nangong Ling diagonally. The moment he let go, he controlled the scabbard with his left hand and used the cotton rope to pull the thrown Huanshou knife, causing the blade to turn into a beautiful arc fan in mid-air, and circled behind Lu Jia.
In one circle, Nangong Ling was slashed horizontally again.
Lu Jia's second knife aimed at Nangong Ling's neck. At this time, Nangong Ling had just retreated. His body's center of gravity was unstable and he had no way to retreat. He was obviously unable to defend against Lu Jia's second knife attack.
At this moment, almost all the martial arts warriors who were watching around the ring couldn't help but close their eyes, unable to bear to witness the tragic scene of the beauty's body lying in different places.
No way to retreat? In the eyes of outsiders, Nangong Ling's current situation is tantamount to being in a desperate situation, not far from death.
However, everyone who is familiar with Sister Nangong knows that Sister Nangong will only choose to 'retreat' under one situation, and that is if the opponent is too weak to arouse her fighting spirit and is not qualified to let her draw her sword.
Lujiazhuang's sword skills are indeed quite creative. It would be difficult for ordinary warriors to cope with such an attack. But for Nangong Ling, it is a piece of cake.
What to do if there is no way to retreat? Just advance!
Although Lujiazhuang's sword technique is quite weird, using cotton rope to connect the scabbard and the body of the knife, making his martial arts moves very changeable and very smart and weird, making it difficult for people to guard against. However, Nangong Ling has already noticed the shortcomings of Lujiazhuang's sword technique.
…
To be precise, Nangong Ling discovered that the Lujiazhuang sword technique performed by Lu Jia was incomplete. Lujiazhuang only taught Lu Jia half of it and hid the other half.
Why does Nangong Ling have such an idea? The orthodox Lujiazhuang sword technique
, it should be a double-knife flow, with two ring-head knives connected by a cotton rope.
As for the Lujiazhuang sword technique that Lu Jia is currently performing, he has a scabbard in one hand and a blade in the other. Either he has not mastered the skill, or Lujiazhuang deliberately hid one hand and did not teach him the full set of sword techniques.
However, even a one-handed scabbard has its merits.
For example, when Nangong Ling faced Lu Jia's second sword attack, she advanced instead of retreating and rushed in front of Lu Jia. He could use the scabbard to defend himself.
Lujiazhuang's swordsmanship was indeed a bit strange. He used a cotton rope to throw the knife, forcing Nangong Ling to retreat and unable to defend.
However, Nangong Ling did not retreat or defend, and suddenly rushed forward. She was unable to do anything about the second knife attack, because the cotton rope connected to the blade had no offensive power and could only serve as a containment.
The reason why Nangong Ling judged that Lu Jiazhuang's sword technique was actually a double-sword style was precisely because using double swords could make up for the attack gaps between the scabbard, cotton rope and blade.
Now Nangong Ling rushed forward and was between the cotton rope connecting the scabbard and the blade. If Lu Jia was holding another ring-headed sword in his left hand instead of the scabbard, he could continue his offensive and suppress the approach.
Nangong Ling in front of me...
Unfortunately, Lu Jia was holding the scabbard in his left hand. At this time, he could only switch from offense to defense, holding the scabbard horizontally to resist Nangong Ling's offensive.
"Look! She rushed over!"
When the Jianghu warriors saw Nangong Ling advancing instead of retreating, rushing in front of Lu Jia, they immediately started shouting again.
The person who originally closed his eyes and couldn't bear to see the beautiful woman's body in another place immediately opened his eyes after hearing this...
However, when the battle situation in the arena came into view again, Nangong Ling rushed in front of Lu Jia and grabbed the scabbard he used for defense with one hand...
"Is your swordsmanship only worth mentioning?" Nangong Ling raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her tone of voice full of disdain.
Zhou Xingyun, who was watching the battle on the side of the ring, couldn't help but sigh regretfully when he saw the fighting situation on the ring. Nangong Ling was not in a fighting state at all now.
When Nangong Ling meets a rival of equal strength, she will show a coquettish and bloodthirsty smile. Now that she is so calm, it can only be said that Lu Jia has not yet been recognized by Sister Nangong.
"Okay, I admit that you have some ability, but don't get too proud too early!" Lu Jia shook the scabbard, and the ring-headed sword that was thrown out fell backwards as if it had eyes.
When Nangong Ling heard the sound, she immediately dodged to the left. The ring-head knife passed through her ear and hair, and then returned to Lu Jia's right hand.
The moment Lu Jia tightened his grip on the Huanshou sword, he immediately slashed it with the sword. At the same time, he released the scabbard with his left hand.
Nangong Ling sideways dodged Lu Jia's slash, and the scabbard also struck her on the side of the head...
"Awesome! Lujiazhuang's sword skills are truly worthy of their reputation!" Upon seeing this, the martial arts warriors onlookers clapped their hands and applauded.
Lu Jia opened the bow left and right, perfectly using the cotton rope to integrate the scabbard and the blade, which were connected end to end, and played like a storm in the ring. Lu Jia's offensive at this time was like a continuous rolling wave, and Nangong Ling could only repeat it again and again.
And San's dodge left no room for retaliation.
At first glance, Lu Jia looks a bit like wielding nunchucks. In fact, he is using the sword technique. At the moment of swinging the sword, he affects the scabbard or blade at the other end to perform two or even three or four additional attacks. COSCO
The distance is within Lu Jia's attack range.
What is most pleasing to the martial arts warriors is that as the battle became more and more intense, Lu Jia began to harness his inner strength, and wisps of sword strength came out, outlining a rose in full bloom formed by the scenery on the ring.
