Chapter 162, Sword Fight(1/2)
In the courtyard.
Zhan Mengbai looked solemn and looked at Du Ao, who was standing tall with two feet of foreign minister.
He had been looking at it for a long time, trying to see the flaws from Du Ao and defeat Du Ao in one fell swoop.
Zhan Mengbai soon became desperate.
He was desperate not because there was no flaw in Du Ao's body, but that there were always flaws in Du Ao's body. However, the parts of the flaws changed anytime and anywhere.
Originally, Zhan Mengbai saw the flaw and immediately wanted to use his killer move. But the flaw I just discovered disappeared, and another flaw came again.
Zhan Mengbai was very strange at first, but he quickly understood that the so-called flaw was actually not a flaw at all. It was just Du Ao who deliberately tempted him to take action. Once he entered the flaw, he would have to lose.
This is not the first time Zhan Mengbai fought with Du Ao, but the more he fought with Du Ao, the more he felt Du Ao was unfathomable. At the same time, he hated his ignorance in his heart.
Zhan Mengbai's father is the "Timely Rain" Zhan Huayu, the leader of the four heroes of righteousness. Zhan Huayu is not only famous for his heroes, but also has a first-class martial arts master. Although his martial arts are worse than Xue Yiren, he will never be much worse. As his son is far inferior to the other party's apprentice, how can Zhan Mengbai bear it?
But regret is useless, so I have to practice harder.
Zhan Mengbai followed Xiao Manfeng and Xiao Feiyu went to the Emperor Valley for two reasons.
The main reason is to meet his mother, and on the other hand, the Lord Xiao Wangsun of the Emperor Valley intends to accept him as his disciple.
Zhan Mengbai didn't care about the latter at all, but cared about the former. It was obvious that he realized the difference with Du Ao that he became interested in practicing martial arts.
During this period, he learned a lot of wonderful sword techniques from the Emperor Valley in Xiao Manfeng, but even so, he still had no way to defeat Du Ao and fought repeatedly.
This is Zhan Mengbai's sixth time fighting Du Ao.
This will be the last time, too.
The carriage will go to Feixu Town tomorrow. At that time, Du Ao will head straight to Wuchang, while Zhan Mengbai and others will go to the Imperial Valley.
Zhan Mengbai also understood this, so this duel was more cautious than before.
Du Ao has a long body and is waiting for the dream to show off his white hair.
Du Ao doesn't like Zhan Mengbai.
Although Zhan Mengbai is chivalrous, he is impulsive and irritable. If he is friends with such people, he will most likely be implicated and harmed by him. However, Du Ao is still willing to give guidance to the original protagonist's martial arts and sword skills, and is willing to change Zhan Mengbai's temperament.
Du Ao would do this. Although Xue Yiren had endured the kindness of Zhan Huayu in the past, and one reason was that the sword technique of the Emperor Valley was very different from that of the world. He could improve his sword skills in the fight with Zhan Mengbai.
Every time the two fought, Xiao Manfeng, who was watching the battle, naturally saw it.
Xiao Feiyu privately complained to Xiao Manfeng that we were not actually teaching the sword technique to the third aunt's son, but the bastard Du Ao.
The third aunt's son naturally refers to Zhan Mengbai, while Du Ao has an extra bastard label.
Xiao Manfeng also agrees with the former and the latter.
A woman scolds a man asshole, which may not necessarily mean that the man is really an asshole, or it may also be an indescribable favoritism mixed with a faint sense of disgust.
This is the attitude of Xiao Feiyu and Xiao Manfeng towards Du Ao.
Their fathers are almost all knowledgeable about the heavens and man, the doctors and fortune-telling, the stars and constellations, the Qimen Dunjia, the poems, songs, and the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. They have been influenced by them since childhood and are very clever.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Manfeng and Xiao Feiyu have developed the mentality of treating men in the world like dirt.
But Du Ao gave them an unprecedented freshness.
Du Ao is naturally difficult to compare with Xiao Wangsun in various aspects such as poetry, songs, Qimen Dunjia, and other aspects, and is even different from them. However, Du Ao's thoughts and behaviors at any time and anywhere make them feel unprecedentedly novel and indescribable.
If it were just like this, they would definitely have a good impression of Du Ao and would never label Du Ao as a bastard. The key is that Du Ao's lustful nature makes the two people who always have a good impression of each other and their feelings increase greatly.
Finally, I got the label of a bastard.
The separation is imminent, Xiao Manfeng and Xiao Feiyu are more or less sad. After all, there are not many people as interesting as Du Ao.
Before Du Ao appeared, Xiao Manfeng and Xiao Feiyu were very interested in Zhan Mengbai's stubborn temper, who would rather break than bend, and could always think of his third aunt. But as soon as Du Ao appeared, they felt that Zhan Mengbai was not that interesting.
In this way, it is difficult for Xiao Feiyu to fall in love with Zhan Mengbai as in the original work. After all, once he meets someone who is too stunning and interesting, it is difficult to feel about ordinary people.
Du Ao didn't know what Xiao Manfeng and Xiao Feiyu thought. If he knew, he would definitely be very proud, and he would definitely try whether to go further, at least take some advantage.
After waiting for a long time, Zhan Mengbai took action immediately.
A loud roar.
The sword was pulled out of its sheath, and with the storm of the sword, it slashed down at high speed like thunder.
Zhan Mengbai used the sword technique of the Emperor Valley, but he had his own style. He used his sword moves and seemed extremely angry and domineering.
Seeing Zhan Mengbai's move, Du Ao understood why Zhan Mengbai later had the nickname of the Angry Sword.
Anger is not good for any swordsman.
But for Zhan Mengbai, it can increase the power of swordsmanship. He actually integrated his anger into the swordsmanship, greatly increasing the power of swordsmanship.
Du Ao looked at the sword coming, and a thought flashed through his mind. One day, will Zhan Mengbai be able to integrate his anger into the sword technique? As soon as the sword attacked, the opponent felt anger, making it difficult to exert his full strength?
Du Ao retracted his thoughts and the sword had arrived.
A cold light flashed, and the sword pierced upwards.
Du Ao saw the sword's situation and accurately hit the weak point of Zhan Mengbai's sword technique as soon as he made a move.
bite.
Zhan Mengbai was shocked.
In fact, the power of Du Ao's attack was three or four points inferior to the sword that Zhan Mengbai fired. The reason why Zhan Mengbai was shocked was that Du Ao's attack was different in the direction and angle.
In terms of mechanics theory.
Because of different directions, the strength of bearing is naturally different.
If two people fight head-on, then the force will naturally be fully withstand it. But if it is a slanted collision, then the sword that the opponent hits will naturally not be able to fully force it, and it will naturally be able to defeat the strong with the weak.
A slight effort to achieve a huge impact is actually based on this principle.
Also because Du Ao's attack was the weakest area of the sword, this also led to Zhan Mengbai launching a violent attack, but he was still repelled by Du Ao.
Xiao Feiyu curled his lips, shook the jade smoke pole, and sighed: "It's getting more and more excessive. He actually used the half-baked Emperor Valley sword technique to deal with Zhan Mengbai."
Du Ao used the sword technique of the King Valley, and because he didn't know the secret technique of the King Valley sword technique, although he had a shape, he was difficult to have a spirit. Even so, he still defeated Zhan Mengbai.
Xiao Manfeng sighed softly and said, "His martial arts may not be considered a top expert in the world, but if we talk about swordsmanship, I am afraid that few people in the world can match him. No wonder Xue Daxia let him walk around the world."
During these days, Xiao Manfeng has seen too many amazing techniques in Du Ao's sword technique, but every time he watches, he still can't help but be amazed.
The two started fighting again.
Du Ao only defends but not attacks, and welcomes Zhan Mengbai's killing move.
No matter how violent Zhan Mengbai's offensive was, once Du Ao took out his sword, it would be instantly cracked. No one could tell the outcome of this battle.
Xiao Feiyu sighed softly and said, "He used six different sword techniques in the battle against Zhan Mengbai and six sword moves, but he could always grasp Zhan Mengbai completely. Xiao Manfeng, how do you think his sword technique is compared to Hua Fei?"
Hua Fei is no one else, she is the target of Xiao Manfeng's approaching marriage and a disciple of the Emperor Valley.
Xiao Feiyu called her name directly, but Xiao Manfeng would definitely correct it. Now he thought about it carefully and shook his head and said, "If it were just a competition of swordsmanship, Hua Fei might still have a chance to win, but if it was a life-and-death battle."
Although Xiao Manfeng didn't continue to say it, Xiao Feiyu understood.
Du Ao's most powerful thing is life-and-death battle. Once a life-and-death battle is fought, Hua Fei, who lacks combat experience, will most likely lose in 100, and will lose very quickly.
At this moment, Zhan Mengbai looked like he had a back and forth with Du Ao, but once he wanted to fight for life and death, Zhan Mengbai was very likely to be killed by Du Ao in one move.
The battle continues.
Zhan Mengbai knew that he had lost, but he was not convinced. It was this dissatisfaction that supported him to continue.
One sword after another.
Attacking is more labor-intensive than defending.
Whether it is physical strength, internal strength or true energy, Zhan Mengbai is at least two or three points inferior to Du Ao, so it is naturally difficult to beat Du Ao.
Du Ao wanted to knock down Zhan Mengbai, but at this time he could just use a casual sword.
But Du Ao did not do so.
He knew that Zhan Mengbai had reached his limit.
After six fights, Zhan Mengbai reached the limit six times, and after reaching the limit, Zhan Mengbai can always break through the limit and reach a higher level.
Although Zhan Mengbai's martial arts skills are relatively low, this alone shows that Zhan Mengbai is indeed a rare martial arts genius, but he was abandoned by his comfortable life before.
Du Ao was waiting, waiting for Zhan Mengbai's martial arts to break through the limit once again and reach a new level.
A loud roar.
Zhan Mengbai's sword was swung out again.
The sword drew a strange arc in the air, looking light and fluttering, as if its power was exhausted, but in fact it contained the power.
when!
Du Ao took three steps in a row, and his arms felt sore and numb.
Taking a deep breath and looking at Zhan Mengbai, who was falling from the sword, Du Ao said lightly: "We can move our strength at will, and our strength will move with the sword. It's great. Now you can finally use your strength flexibly and step into the threshold of swordsmanship."
With the long sword back into the sheath, Du Ao walked out of the yard.
