Chapter 353 Knife and Halberd (2)
In the duel of experts, it is not only the level of their own martial arts, but also the game of psychological strategy...
It is obvious that in another confrontation, Shao Qiuxi was still the one who had the advantage. Although he seemed to be at a passive disadvantage at the beginning, as he almost reached the peak, he also got so wonderful that he avoided it, and the situation of the battle suddenly changed a fundamentally.
Xiao Gan's halberd was inevitable, so he left almost no room for action, which made the short halberd in his hand sink into the tree trunk for a long time. In this way, Shao Qiuxi, who had escaped the pursuit, seized the opportunity to counterattack without any pause. The sword light flashed suddenly, and a slanted knife swept out quickly and hit the opponent's chest.
At this time, Xiao Gan was too late to try to pull out the short halberd and the two of them made a move so quickly that it was impossible for him to give him time to pull the short halberd out of a pit about a foot, but if he wanted to dodge, he had to give up the weapons in his hand. But once he really lost the weapon, why would he fight such an opponent again?
It can be said that Xiao Gan is facing a dead end now. No matter how he chooses, he will only lose one or even die.
Li Ling was naturally unable to make such a clear judgment at this time, but he had already realized that the situation was extremely unfavorable to Xiao Gan. Who would have thought that things would turn around like this? Shao Qiuxi could actually use the trees behind him to pit his opponent in this desperate situation?
Without any hesitation, Xiao Gan had made the final choice. He abandoned his halberd and retreated quickly. At the speed of chasing Shao Qiuxi just now, his body was retreating like a thrown stone. In just a blink of an eye, he had already retreated by about a foot. Shao Qiuxi's knife also slashed past him at this moment. If he hadn't retreated firmly and far enough, he would have been afraid that he would have been blown away.
But even so, Xiao Gan's situation is still extremely dangerous. It would be too difficult for him to deal with others if he loses his weapons. Although he is a master, his opponent is still on the front line than him. With bare hands, how can he withstand the new wave of fast swords?
Shao Qiuxi obviously understood this, so he did not relax at all. He fell into nothing and followed with one stroke. He slashed out three times and took three key points in the opponent's throat, neck and chest. He wanted to use this endless offensive to completely suppress the opponent until he killed Xiao Gan on the spot.
Xiao Gan retreated again, dodging in a mess to avoid the sword moves that were slashing in a series of slashes. At the same time, his hand swayed a few times, as if he wanted to use non-existent weapons to deal with them, or to disturb the other party's attention, give himself a chance to distance himself?
Li Ling's first reaction was this, but then, when his eyes followed Xiao Gan's movements and fell behind Shao Qiuxi, his face showed a very surprised expression: "How could this happen..."
What he saw was that the short halberd, which should have been useless, was shaken with Xiao Gan's movements, and then he immediately got rid of the trunk. Then he turned around and turned into a black light, whistling straight to Shao Qiuxi's back and shot!
Li Ling would think that this was a dazzled thing, and it was absolutely unreasonable. How could Xiao Gan remotely control his weapons to attack like this after being more than ten feet away? This is not a fantasy world, and there are also methods such as sword control. If he really had such ability, he should have used it to kill Shao Qiuxi!
However, what happened in front of him was still truly reflected in Li Ling's eyes. The short halberd roared backward and stabbed Shao Qiuxi's backwards and was still rushing forward. And this time he was still wary of the opponent's attack, and he would dodge at the last moment, so the position of this was still very low, so low that he rushed from his tail vertebra, and he could not dodge calmly. Moreover, the speed of this was too fast and too sudden. When Shao Qiuxi realized the attack from behind, he could not even dodge his way.
The battle situation turned around again in the blink of an eye. This time, does Shao Qiuxi, who is in the Jedi, still have a way to solve it?
some!
Shao Qiuxi suddenly let out a sharp roar. The move of the advance flying slash changed from forward to upward. The man had already risen high at the moment when the short halberd was on his back, just avoiding this fatal move. Obviously, by listening to the sound, he had grabbed the angle of the short halberd shooting, so he did not dodge with the iron bridge, but flew directly to dodge.
But in this way, his attack was paused, and at the same time, the person was completely exposed to Xiao Gan's attack range. Without any hesitation, Xiao Gan had already pounced on him. With a wave of his hand, the short halberd had been caught by him again, and then he whined a few times and took the opponent straight.
The two of them were on the ground and in the air, and they only fought for a few minutes. Blood had already flown out of Shao Qiuxi's chest, and then another palm was hit by his body. The man had thrown away like a kite with a broken string, and then he hit a tree before he could stabilize his pace. But then, another mouthful of blood snatched out of the cavity.
"Awesome! There is actually a layout at the tail of your halberd, it was me who was careless." After squirting out a mouthful of blood, Shao Qiuxi slowly said this again.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to completely hide this trick from the other party, so Xiao Gan had no intention of hiding it and smiled hee: "I only tied the silk on the tail, and the tricks of carving insects are not worth mentioning."
Only then did Li Ling realize that it was because of something pulling the tail of this short halberd, which could have such a horrifying effect. As for silk that day, he had heard of it. It was a specialty from southern Yunnan. It was the most flexible but transparent in color. It was originally one of the royal tributes, but he didn't expect it to have such a wonderful effect on weapons.
As the two separated and did not move for the time being, Li Ling saw some different things in them again.
Shao Qiuxi not only had broken wounds on his chest, but also faint bloodstains on his back. Obviously, although his leap just now was clever, he could not completely avoid this sneak attack, which caused him to be hit on his back. Obviously, he was seriously injured and vomited blood.
As for Xiao Gan, it was not much better. Many wounds on his chest were clearly visible, and they had been torn apart by the armor of soldiers on his body, thus revealing the flesh and blood inside. One of them was even deeper and bones were visible, and blood was constantly leaking out, soaking the clothes into black and red.
Obviously, both of them were seriously injured this time, so they did not continue to launch an offensive at this time, because it is very likely that when they meet again, they will be the moment of life and death.
"I still underestimated you. Tiannan's halberd is indeed powerful." Shao Qiuxi, who was standing on Hengdao's chest, said slowly.
"The same is true for you, Kunlun Sword King, the fast sword technique and the strange tricks are the only one I have seen in my life. What a pity..." Xiao Gan couldn't help but sigh.
"What a pity?"
"It's a pity that you can't escape death after all, and it's not me who killed you this time." Xiao Gan said this again with some regret. And just as he said this, Shao Qiuxi, who was originally ready to take action again, rushed out, and rushed into the high grass behind him, screaming with a scream!
Someone was slowly leaning over there, but Li Ling heard a scream and saw a person pouring out, and realized that the pursuers had arrived.
However, they underestimated Shao Qiuxi, thinking that he would not notice his own position when facing a strong enemy and was seriously injured, and did not take too much precautions, so he decisively killed him with a knife. His movements did not slow down at all. After knocking away the weeds, his body turned and sank into the forest on the other side, and then two more screams rang out.
"Brother Xiao, let's leave this battle between you and me for the next day. Then I will find a place where no one is available and kill you again..." After leaving this sentence, Shao Qiuxi completely disappeared into this dense forest.
Li Ling was stunned again at this time, looking at Xiao Gan, who had no intention of pursuing, with a look of confusion.
This is indeed strange. Since reinforcements have arrived, why didn’t he come forward and stubbornly tangle with him and create opportunities for others to seize the enemy? Even if he is not able to do so due to his identity, what is the intention to point out this out? Maybe before that, Shao Qiuxi didn’t know how dangerous his situation was, and would take the initiative to attack, thereby creating better opportunities for others to surround him.
After Xiao Gan shook his body and fell down softly, Li Ling realized these doubts. It was not that he didn't want to pick up this cheapness, but he really couldn't do it, because Xiao Gan was at the end of his strength at this moment, and the injuries on his body made him unable to even think about standing for a while.
While Li Ling rushed forward to support the other party, he even turned his mind. Xiao Gan knew that he could not threaten Shao Qiuxi anymore, but the other party could still fight. Then he pointed out that there was already a backup to kill him, thus bluffing and scaring Shao Qiuxi away.
This is still a grasp of the opponent's psychology, so in a sense, Xiao Gan did not lose in this duel.
"Xiao...Senior, how are you?" After Li Ling supported the other party, he realized that Xiao Gan's injury was much heavier than he had imagined. The blood that kept flowing out from everywhere and the pale face made people feel panic.
However, Xiao Gan, who was about to fall into a coma, just smiled indifferently: "I can't die... Boy, you have a big relationship with Shao Qiuxi, he didn't hurt you at all."
"I..." Li Ling was about to explain something, but Xiao Gan in front of him tilted his head after saying this and fainted.
Fortunately, after a moment, a sound of footsteps had already come from all sides, and countless soldiers were running over, and the one at the front was the Yang brothers and Li Moyun. The three of them looked anxious, and they breathed a sigh of relief until they saw that Li Ling was safe and sound: "Sir, it's great that you're fine..."
