Chapter 56: Exclamation from Lan Ruoqiao
"call!"
As Chu Jingyu wished, Fang Rui didn't let anything slip in this exchange. Taking advantage of Chu Jingyu's distracted moment, he punched out with a powerful right hand.
"Wave!"
The air flow brought by the fist force directly broke the currents around Chu Jingyu, and at the same time restricted the latter's dodge speed.
"Oops!"
In Yu's haste, Chu Jingyu blocked with his sword.
"boom!"
Amidst the sound of gold and iron clashing, Fang Rui's powerful punch struck directly in the center of the long sword.
Affected by Fang Rui's terrifying punch, the long sword was quickly blasted into a bracket shape, then a U shape, and then an inverted C shape.
At this point, the stamina of Fang Rui's punch was only blocked by the extremely strong toughness of the sword itself.
"Zheng!"
After the bending, there was a rebound. Chu Jingyu was ejected like a cannonball in the buzzing sound of the long sword bending back to its straight position.
"How can this be?!"
Chu Jingyu's face was filled with disbelief as he was thrown away.
His sword is not a soft sword!
How much terrifying power did Fang Rui's punch contain to make that arc of his long sword?
Without the power of the curse, such a terrifying punch was delivered calmly!
What kind of boxing technique is this?!
"Ta! Ta! Ta..."
When Chu Jingyu was secretly shocked, the sound of footsteps like a mad bull running down the road just now sounded.
Looking closely, Fang Rui was chasing after him after he was ejected!
"The First Style of Flowing Water Sword Technique: Follow the Wave!"
Chu Jingyu, who did not dare to rely on his strength to resist Fang Rui's heavy punch again, quickly used his core strength to stabilize his body, and used the defensive sword stance in the air.
He was seen holding the sword and swinging it left and right continuously. Wherever the tip of the sword passed, several streams of water appeared out of thin air and surrounded him like a moat.
"Um?"
Fang Rui's heavy punch followed, but under the influence of the "protecting city" water flow, he clearly felt a slight sense of obstruction.
Although it had little effect on his fist strength, the impact of the water ripples caused by his punch on Chu Jingyu was visible to the naked eye.
Originally in the air, with nowhere to draw on, his dodge ability should be much weaker than on the ground. There was a high probability that Chu Jingyu would not be able to dodge his punch, but he was actually like a piece of duckweed, flying in the waves of the moat.
With help, I dodged his punch.
"Let yourself establish a connection with the surrounding water flow, rely on the buffering of the water flow to absorb the force acting on the water waves, and then dodge under the impetus of the water waves?"
After the punch failed, Fang Rui didn't rush to pursue it.
Because he keenly discovered the characteristics of Chu Jingyu's sword style: letting himself ripple with the waves like duckweed.
If he has no way to deal with the water waves generated after the attack, it will be like hitting the duckweed with his fist in the water. No matter how hard he uses, he will not be able to hit the duckweed.
Because the duckweed will ripple away with the help of water waves before you hit it.
Therefore, until the water wave problem is solved, no matter how he attacks, it will be in vain.
"You're out of luck! The first form of my Flowing Water Sword Technique, 'Following the Wave', was created just for your powerful style of opening and closing."
Seeing Fang Rui stop, Chu Jingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with a slightly complicated expression.
His current mood is both happy and sad, and even a little bit ashamed.
Fortunately, his swordsmanship just restrained Fang Rui's characteristics, and he had a great chance of victory.
Sadly, from the few short strikes just now, he realized that what Fang Rui said before was indeed true - if Fang Rui had used the power of those two punches in the first sparring session, he would not have been able to
There is no ability to resist.
What's shameful is that if it weren't for his luck and his swordsmanship just suppressed Fang Rui's characteristics, he might not be Fang Rui's enemy with three moves even if he picked up the sword.
Fang Rui is indeed the arrogant one, but he is too short-sighted and too ignorant.
But no matter what, luck is also a part of strength. If he can win a battle, he will never give it up for any reason.
"The third form of Flowing Water Sword Technique: Undercurrent!"
After calming down for a moment, Chu Jingyu raised his sword, which glowed blue again, and struck Fang Rui.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Amidst the constant sound of running water, Chu Jingyu's fierce attack forced Fang Rui to dodge repeatedly.
However, unlike the dazzling second sword technique of "Zhuliu", and different from the mystery of the first sword technique of "following the wave", Chu Jingyu's third sword technique of "undercurrent" gave people a different feeling after using it.
Even though the offensive was fierce, it seemed to have no other characteristics other than the sound.
"Ruo Qiao, is this the undercurrent of the third style of his Flowing Water Sword Technique, is he just calling it out to deceive others? Why can't he see any effect except hearing the sound?!"
Wang Chen, who was only judging the situation with his naked eyes, frowned as he didn't understand Chu Jingyu's operation.
"This is normal. Since it is called an undercurrent, how can it be easily seen?"
Putting aside his vision, Lan Ruoqiao, who was observing the fight between the two with his senses, pursed his lips slightly to sort out his vocabulary, and then opened his mouth to explain Wang Chen's doubts:
"In my perception, the two of them are surrounded by a very light layer of water vapor. Every 'crash' sound you hear is actually caused by the water vapor around Fang Rui when Chu Jingyu slashes at her.
The sound of water flowing."
"Then what's the point? No matter how the sound is produced, if he can't hit Fang Rui, won't it still have no effect and can only make people listen to the sound?"
Wang Chen, who couldn't see where Lan Ruoqiao's so-called water vapor was, tilted his head incomprehensibly.
"The significance is that using these water flows will affect Fang Rui's actions!"
Lan Ruoqiao explained patiently:
"If you can't feel the water flow, you can carefully observe Fang Rui's movements."
"What's wrong with his movements? He's just as handsome...ah, no, he's just as able to dodge with ease! This Chu Jingyu is obviously on a different level than him. He has completely seen through his attack ideas and sword moves."
"You only saw the surface, not the core?"
"What's the core?"
"The frequency of his dodge, and the smoothness of his dodge." Lan Ruoqiao explained helplessly:
"In the past, all the attacks he used to dodge Chu Jingyu were done at his own pace, so the frequency of dodges was regular and the smoothness of the dodges, or the viewing pleasure, was also excellent, but now if you don't
If you look at his face, you will find that his current dodging movements are actually quite clumsy."
"It seems that he is not as chic as before!" After receiving Lan Ruoqiao's advice, Wang Chen exclaimed belatedly:
"If you observe it carefully, it seems that the coherence of his dodge movements is gone. When I watched him dodge before, I felt that his dodge movements were extremely coherent, as if he had planned in advance how to dodge next."
"This is why Chu Jingyu wants to slash at the water vapor around Fang Rui, so that the undercurrent caused by the water vapor can restrain Fang Rui's movements. And as the undercurrent around Fang Rui increases, his dodge will also be affected.
getting bigger."
Lan Ruoqiao predicted.
And basically the moment she finished speaking, her prediction was verified.
"Whoa!"
The sound of the sword cutting through clothes was heard, and there was a gash about twenty centimeters long on the sleeve of Fang Rui's sportswear.
Although there was no blood seeping out, the appearance of this wound made people feel that the deadlock between Fang Rui and Chu Jingyu had been broken, and Fang Rui would soon be unable to hold on any longer.
"Brother, just admit defeat... You can't break my 'following the wave', and you will soon be unable to avoid my 'undercurrent'. The defeat is basically already decided, so why bother struggling?"
Chu Jingyu said while making constant moves with the sword in his hand.
"Don't worry, it's not my style to admit defeat."
Fang Rui responded casually with his eyes unfocused. He seemed to be distracted by thinking about something and had no time to distract his attention on Chu Jingyu.
"Are you looking for death?"
Seeing that Fang Rui dared to be distracted at this time, Chu Jingyu couldn't help but remind him:
"In battle, I will not hold back. Now there are more and more undercurrents. If you are distracted and unable to dodge, and die by my sword, it will be your loss!"
"kindness."
It seemed that Chu Jingyu's reminder was not heard at all. After Fang Rui responded softly, he closed his eyes directly.
"Whoa!"
Basically the next second Fang Rui closed his eyes, a brand new gash appeared on the chest of his sportswear.
Then the shoulders, elbows, thighs...
As Fang Rui closed his eyes, more and more holes appeared on Fang Rui's clothes.
Although no substantial scratches were caused to Fang Rui, it fully demonstrated that Chu Jingyu's reminder was correct - Fang Rui was seeking death by distracting himself at this moment.
If you close your eyes, you will undoubtedly want to die faster.
"Since you are deliberately seeking death, you can't blame me! Don't think that I don't dare to kill someone!"
Seeing Fang Rui clearly stating that he "wants death", Chu Jingyu gritted his teeth and continued the undercurrent offensive unabated.
Half a minute later:
"die!"
Finally, when Fang Rui was disturbed by the undercurrent and his body stagnated, he raised his sword and slashed towards Fang Rui's neck, preparing to make the former pay the due price for his care.
"Fang Rui?!"
"Gang leader?!"
Wang Chen and Liu Yiyi couldn't help but scream. Fang Rui's flaw was so obvious that even the two of them could clearly detect it with their eyes.
But just when they subconsciously wanted to close their eyes, not wanting to see the scene of Fang Rui's tragic death, a sudden exclamation made them slightly stunned before they could close their eyes.
Because they recognized who the exclamation came from - the always calm Lan Ruoqiao.
"How can it be?!"
Almost at the same time as they screamed, within their field of vision, Fang Rui, who was clearly bound to be beheaded, suddenly and bizarrely moved an inch sideways, narrowly avoiding Chu Jingyu's almost sure-kill blow.
sword.
"Is it really a success?!"
