Seven Hundred and Seventieth Eight Chapters Men's War (4)
To Allen's surprise, Link's sharp sword was made with his left hand. Generally speaking, people are better at exerting force with the right hand. Even if there are savages who use double blades, generally speaking, there will be a slight difference in the strength of the two-handed attack, both of which are weak on the left and strong on the right. However, it is rare that the strength of both hands is the same, or even opposite.
But Link's sword was clean and neat, a simple straight stab, but it felt like piercing the sky. That is not a move that comes easily, but it takes a lot of practice to stab such a sword.
Allen immediately turned around, avoiding the straight stab and at the same time swept the long knife, swinging towards Link's waist. There is also no unnecessary movement, but there is an undisguised conquest and killing intent in the saber gesture! Link touched the ground with his left foot, and he jumped up in the air. Allen's knife almost wiped against the soles of his feet. If it had been half a beat slower just now, the result would have been completely different.
Link narrowed his eyes slightly, and Alan's sword skills were refined. Like the knife just now, it completely abandons any fancy, just for speed. This is the way of killing people!
The two exchanged a move, and both had a little understanding of each other.
Link landed, turned, and sprinted. He carried the sword with his left hand again, the long sword was almost weightless in his hand, and it was like a machine gun in an instant, and he stabbed countless times. Allen only felt that the other party's sword light sprinkled on his face, dense like a shower. Even the natural strength of the sword pierced his eyes, which affected his vision and made him somewhat unable to see Link's figure clearly.
Such sword skills!
"The stars are dotted..." Metaron leaned forward slightly and said, "I haven't seen this move for a long time, but I haven't activated the source force, and it was done by Link. If it is used by Grand Duke Rebes, when It’s the moving scene of shooting stars all over the sky.”
The expressions of the people around all changed, as if they were imagining what a spectacular scene it would be.
At this moment, although Alan's eyes were not as Metaron said, he saw meteors all over the sky. But the stars were shining, he gave a soft drink. The whole person suddenly gave birth to a tragic momentum, only to see Allen raised his knife and leaned forward. Regardless of the false and real starlight sword strength, he suddenly slammed into the shadow of Link's sword. The long knife cut out flatly, but gave birth to a strong momentum of the three armies.
The starlight in the sky suddenly dissipated.
Link suddenly stepped back three steps, and finally raised his right hand, which he had never used, and slashed three consecutive swords at the knife Alan attacked with exquisite techniques. The first sword was bounced off by the long knife, the second sword slightly choked the momentum of the knife, and the third sword made the long knife deflect to one side. Although it was only a slight difference, it flashed past Link. The blade hit the ground, and a crack was immediately opened on the ground of the training ground. The gap stretched out, forming a scar three meters long and more than ten centimeters deep.
Link looked at this scar, quite dazzling. Allen didn't use his source power for this knife, in other words, it was the basic strength of his body.
Only basic strength can cut such a crack, Link doesn't think his body without armor protection is as hard as the ground. Of course, his body protection source power is enough to turn a serious injury into a minor injury, but in that case, it means that he has lost.
Suddenly, he regretted a little, he seemed to be too big. Perhaps, as Allen said, it would be better to wear armor.
The two distanced themselves again.
The series of offense and defense just now dazzled people. Whether it was the envoys of Ida Huaxing or the soldiers of the eagle, they all applauded for the wonderful battle between the two. Mira lowered her hands and said, "Master Link is really powerful. He has separated the offense and defense of Fanxing swordsmanship, but he still has such a wonderful performance, which is really impressive. And the human who fought against him, although I am not a fighter , may be able to force Young Master Link to take a defensive position, which is also very good."
Metalon nodded and said: "Alan is indeed good. At his age, being able to understand such a profound understanding of sword techniques is considered a top-notch talent. But..."
"But what?" Mira asked.
"It's nothing, they are going to have a second round of competition." Metalon smiled.
Mira smiled and said nothing. Metaron obviously didn't finish his sentence just now, so he didn't know what he wanted to say.
Looking at Allen, Metalon sighed softly in his heart. As for the person Lucy likes, how could the imperial court even ask for any news. Orfascius personally ordered that people find out the details of Allen. Allen's life had already been listed in a report and presented before the emperor's case. Metalon had also read that report, and to be honest, Allen was excellent. Whether it's his own potential, talent, or talent in sequence design, they are all enough to rank among geniuses. But he was imprisoned by the power of origin, which became a dangerous mountain in front of his word "genius", making the person who should have been dazzling dim.
As long as there is that source of force imprisoned, Alan's end will come faster than Link, and his martial arts path will be shorter, so short that even people like Orfascius sighed for him. But because of this, Orfascius didn't immediately ask Lucy to come back. According to the emperor's intention, he wanted Lucy to see Alan's limit. He believes that when Lucy sees Alan's achievements will stop below the twentieth level, but he is also a member of the ordinary people. His daughter will eventually wake up and know that Allen is not someone she can entrust to her for life.
At that time, Lucy will return to his side.
Of course, Lucy will not know all this, and Metalon will not tell it. Both he and Orfascius were waiting, waiting for the moment when Allen came to an end. From all signs, Allen has clearly reached the end.
He has stayed at level nineteen for too long!
According to the information obtained before, as long as the potential is reasonable, Alan should have broken through after so many battles. But he is still hovering at the nineteenth level, even if his combat skills are exquisite, so what. No matter how exquisite the technique is, it cannot make up for the gap in strength. Especially when the level is pulled out to level ten and eight, the advanced ones can completely be crushed by absolute strength.
This is why Metalon didn't stop Link from continuing to challenge Alan. He wanted to take this opportunity to let Alan and Lucy see the status quo clearly.
Although Lucy will definitely find it difficult to accept, time is enough to smooth everything out.
The old Marquis was thinking up and down, and suddenly heard a scream in his ears. When I came back to my senses, I saw two figures entangled in the field.
The movements of Alan and Link have already been regarded as the four characters of lightning fast, and both sides are playing fast. Allen's saber was fierce, and it was completely an offensive method. He gave up all defenses and launched a fierce attack with an indomitable momentum. On the other hand, Link cautiously adopts a defensive posture. The long sword in his right hand continuously interweaves fine and complicated sword paths, receiving all Allen's attacks seamlessly.
Regardless of whether it is offense or defense, both of them are fast to the extreme. Among the people watching the battle around the training ground, only masters like Metalon, Roddy, and Catherine could see their movements clearly. Most of them only saw two fast-moving figures, and the sound of gold and iron clashing frequently erupted between them, sparking fluffy and dazzling sparks. When the speed of both sides reached its peak, the figures of the two had become completely blurred, leaving only a dark afterimage in everyone's eyes, and it was impossible to distinguish Alan and Link.
Such a fierce battle made people almost forget to breathe.
Everything is always relative, there will be troughs, there will be monthly profit and loss, and tides will ebb and flow. Nothing can remain at the highest point forever, even gods fall, planets are born and die.
Alan and Link are naturally no exception.
After the speed was pushed to the fastest, the dark afterimage gradually turned into two blurred figures, and then the figures continued to become clear. In the end, there was a sound of golden swords, and the two separated suddenly, each pointing their swords at each other, but they all panted heavily at the same time.
In this competition, the source of power is not moving, it is purely a competition of physical fitness and endurance, and in the end no one can beat the other. But this is only on the surface, people like Metalon can see that because Link has more defense and less offense, he actually has an advantage. On the other hand, Allen is purely letting go of the attack, and he consumes far more physical energy than Link. In this comparison, in terms of physical fitness alone, Alan is superior to Link.
But fighting is not simply a competition of physical fitness, but strategy, reaction, strength, skills, etc. are all indispensable. Link's physical fitness is not as good as Alan's, but his exquisite defensive skills make up for this, otherwise Alan would have broken through the defense line and the army would have come to the city. It can be seen from this that the defensive skills of Fanxing Sword Art are really powerful. If he were to change places with Link, under the same circumstances, even Metalon would not dare to say that he would be able to withstand Allen's onslaught.
After all, the old marquis' combat skills were not good at defense.
"258 knives..." Link consumed less than Allen, and quickly went to the front line to adjust his breathing. He said: "Just now you scored a total of 258 knives, and it took no more than one minute. That is to say, you scored at least four knives per second. Although you are not the fastest with knives among the people I know. But At your level, you are the first one who can use a knife so quickly."
"Alan, you are really powerful. I apologize for my previous arrogance. But I'm sorry, if you can't beat me, I will never agree with you. Even if you can't take His Highness away today, I will find another way."
Allen nodded: "I will make you die."
"Oh?" Link put on his glasses, "Can you tell me, where does your confidence come from?"
"It's very simple. I think I have seen through your routine." Alan smiled and said, "If I read correctly, you have completely separated the two different methods of attack and defense in a kind of swordsmanship. Your The sword in the right hand is used for defense, and the sword in the left hand is used for attacking. Generally speaking, people are always used to attacking with the right hand, but you are just the opposite. I think you are trying to make the opponent miscalculate your routine. So you can receive the effect of surprise soldiers?"
"and then?"
"Seeing that you can train your left hand to be as flexible as your right hand, let me make a bold guess. In fact, the left attack and the right defense are also used to create an illusion. In fact, to you, which hand is responsible for offense and defense, it doesn't make any difference anymore? "
Link was surprised, and nodded after a while: "You were able to observe so many things even though you attacked so fiercely just now. Mr. Allen, you are indeed a respectable opponent."
