Chapter 234 233. The difference in swordsmanship

Facing Lan En, he put his whole body's center of gravity into the process of accumulating power and "threw" a sword.

Even though Ashina Isshin had chosen the most effective way to resist, he put his entire weight on the sword blade and blocked downwards.

But under the huge force, he was pushed so hard that his feet were more than ten centimeters off the ground!

Finally, the straw sandals stepped on the ground again, drawing two dazzling traces on the floor of the Buddhist hall. The soil piled up at the ends of the traces, and then it stopped.

"Well done! Lan En!"

Ashina Isshin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Be brave and careful in battle. This saying has been passed down in every martial arts school for a long time.

But this guy can still have such a perfect reaction when facing the pressure of Ashina Isshin. This guy is very interesting!

And Lan En's offensive is not over yet.

Those cat eyes scanned Isshin Ashina's body posture in a very short period of time.

Mentos synchronized the rotation of the pupils, and the data was directly marked everywhere, and in the end, Lan En made the decision himself——

Keep attacking!

After forcibly receiving a slash that put his body's center of gravity upward, Ashina Isshin's gold and steel dragon sword had been completely swung to the right side of his body.

There was a gap in the defense on the left. Even though this gap only took less than a tenth of a second to be reorganized and repaired, Lan En could catch it!

After making several "ding-ding-ding-ding" sounds like iron, Ashina Isshin raised his sword from the right side of his body and blocked it with the left side of his body.

The moving distance between the arm and the long knife determines that his efficiency should not be faster than Lan En.

So every time they collided, Lan En was able to break up the posture he was about to re-arrange!

In Western swordsmanship, the dominant side should constantly put pressure on the opponent's weak side. Pressure is not only an expectation that the opponent will make mistakes under pressure, but also a measure to protect oneself.

An opponent who is tired of dealing with attacks will have no chance to attack.

Therefore, the dominant side's fierce attack is a strategy that looks violent and brainless, but is actually safe and stable.

There is no doubt about Ashina Isshin's swordsmanship, and his one eye became brighter and brighter during the fierce slashing.

With his skills and experience, he can easily find out the opponent's thoughts from the seemingly violent sword fighting.

Even this fresh feeling made him feel as good as drinking strong alcohol.

"I see! This is the essence of Nanman swordsmanship!?"

This skinny old man keenly felt the difference between fighting Lan En and fighting a local Japanese swordsman.

Apart from his overly excellent physical ability, in terms of the idea of ​​​​swordsmanship, Nanman swordsmanship and Eastern swordsmanship are very different.

"For you, is the battle actually an inducement battle!? Haha!"

Even though Ashina Isshin was temporarily suppressed by the situation, he still laughed with satisfaction.

This is a tactic that combines cunning deception and logic.

To put it bluntly, feint moves, real moves, real moves turning into fake moves, and fake moves turning into real moves are commonly used by swordsmen.

But the difference between Nanman swordsmanship is that they use logical thinking to analyze the sword fight situation.

When should a strong attack be carried out, what effect should a strong attack achieve, and what should be done if the situation changes suddenly?

These fleeting things in battle will be analyzed logically and compared with probability, risk, and benefit. Then the swordsman will judge which strategy to use.

This unique thinking means that Nanman swordsmen may not necessarily be good generals, but on the single battlefield, they are all masters of tactics!

Ashina Isshin was still laughing happily, but his situation was not optimistic.

Lan En made no mistakes at the tactical level. He used the strategy of strong attack on the weak and continuous suppression to force Ashina Isshin to change his position.

Pull it over and block the sword light on the left side of your body. After another collision, you will be knocked back to the right side of your body.

There was no time to get right.

The advantage at the tactical level means that as long as you make no mistakes in execution, you will almost always have the advantage.

Lan En's execution ability is as terrifying as ever.

His sword was fast and steady, and his seemingly fierce attack never cut off his head, exposing his flank to his opponent.

The owl next to him, watching the young demon hunter press the [Sword Master] all the way, almost retreated to the wall of the Buddhist hall where many Buddha statues stood.

His bushy-bearded face was stretched out with an expression of surprise, indeed he looked a bit like a frightened owl.

And when Lan En finally continued to advance, he forced the old [Sword Master] to the point where he could no longer retreat.

The wind direction began to change.

Hidden inside the completely sealed underground Buddhist hall, a sudden breeze blew.

The witcher's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

"Thank you so much, Lan."

In the brilliant sparks of the sword collision, the curvature of the corners of the skinny old man's mouth slowly became wider and wider.

"In return for letting me see the interesting Southern Barbarian swordsmanship. Let's take a look at the 'swords' of the East!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the vertical pupils of the demon hunter's cat eyes suddenly shrank!

The Sword of the Lake Girl, which was originally going to press forward according to the tactics, suddenly retracted and stopped in front of her.

This was not enough, Lan En suddenly felt a sharp chill lingering on the side of his face.

Without any time to think, he opened the hilt of the sword with his left hand and blocked the arm armor of his left arm in the direction of the coolness.

"Dang!!!"*2

Sparks exploded, and Ashina Isshin, who was originally in a suppressed posture, seemed to have dropped the frame.

Suddenly it changed into the posture of Iai Slash.

And it's not the posture of drawing the sword. It's the posture of putting the sword back into the scabbard after drawing it out!

Lan En's eyes widened!

A deep sword mark suddenly appeared on the outside of his left arm that covered his face!

And Alondette, who was holding it in his right hand, was also knocked at an angle of thirty degrees by the sudden and swift force.

What's more important - with his dynamic vision, he didn't notice the two swords coming from the opposite side at all!

Are you fucking kidding me?!

Is this a martial arts novel?!

One sword hit two places on different routes!

The surging force caused Lan En's feet to lift off the ground, and his whole body was 'carried' to fly back more than a meter!

He looked in disbelief at the skinny old man who stood up from the low position of Iai Sword again.

"It's amazing, isn't it? Compared with Nanman swordsmanship?"

The old man laughed heartily.

"I had nothing to do in Ashina Castle, and I also taught a group of swordsmen. This is the [Ashina Cross Slash] specially improved by a guy named Zuase Jinsuke among them. Although from the perspective of the air blade trajectory, it is a

The 'two' is tilted. But I have to say, it's really fast enough."

Ashina Isshin put the gold and steel dragon sword back into its scabbard and inserted it into his waist. It seemed that he was not ready to fight.

Lan En tilted his head and looked at the old man, and also took back the Sword of the Lake Lady.

He began to pant, although it was not big, and he was controlled by a strange breathing method, but the noise in his lungs could not be blocked.

Ashina Isshin is getting older after all.

"It's almost like this. The speed with which Shinsuke Sause waved his hand could kill someone wearing armor, right? Although his hand probably wouldn't be saved afterward."

Lan En nodded in admiration and gritted his teeth.

"I feel like I understand a little bit about Japanese swordsmanship."

When Wei Ming heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Oh? I didn't expect that your understanding is quite powerful. I am more optimistic about you, Lan En."
