Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 248 247. Fist

"Lan En, the existence of the power of immortality is not a rare topic for Ashina's generals. My grandson, Genichiro, has been driven to hysterics by the increasingly powerful inner army. Even the most taboo power, As long as Ashina Kingdom can be defended, he will not hesitate to use it."

"But there is no doubt that in the eyes of an old guy like me who is about to die, this is just a childish disease of a kid. There are already living beings in the world, how can there be immortality? This is true for people, and so is the power."

"Ashina will naturally disappear when it's time to disappear, and the power of the inner palace is no exception. To hold on to the afterimage of the past and not let go will be ugly."

"But in the final analysis, my grandson has valued the survival of Ashina Kingdom more than his own life. This is the result of my education, and I have no position to blame him."

"But Lord Norizen Yamauchi, just think of it as my disgust with the power of immortality. The conflict between the two of you is limited to this duel. The other ashigaru and samurai are not involved. After Lan En won, he You can come and go freely, and you can no longer stop me."

Norizen Yamauchi waited for a long time and didn't hear anything about his victory.

Then he raised his head and asked Ashina Isshin.

"What if I win?"

Yamauchi Norizen's speech stopped Ashina Isshin, who was looking back on the past.

The skinny old man pursed his lips and smiled politely at the general, without saying anything else.

You really dare to think!

Still ‘you win’.

Both parties in the duel had no objections, so in the courtyard of Hirada Manor's inner house, the samurai general put on his traditional attire.

A tachi with a length of about 1.6 meters was unsheathed by him before he started.

It can be seen that he is not the kind of swordsman who is proficient in [Ashina Cross Slash], but a warrior who applies [Ashina Ryū] to the battlefield.

Under the horn pocket is an old man's face, which is a facial armor specially made to look like an old man. To protect and deter enemies.

Beneath his face, Norizen Yamauchi's eyes were sharp and murderous.

He really wanted to kill this foreigner who intended to weaken Ashina's strength.

But in contrast, Lan En's sword was not unsheathed at his waist. His calm eyes were the same as when he was in the room just now.

Lan En is the kind of competition player who usually shows a lot of emotions, but when he gets serious, he has nothing to worry about.

Mentos made an estimate when Lan En came into contact with the information about Xianfeng Temple. Until this matter is over, Lan En will probably keep a straight face.

No one is the referee, this is a fight to the death. Swordsmen and samurai should not use the so-called referee's command as a signal to fight on the spot.

The moment the two stood still and looked at each other, the fighting had already begun!

"Huangkou kid! Let me, Wei Mingshi, Yamauchi Dianshan, come and kill you!"

The 1.6-meter-long tachi was originally a weapon used by samurai warriors to fight on horseback. It has a larger arc and better cutting performance than the katana used for foot combat.

Yamauchi Norizen relied on Ashito's physique that absorbed the water of the source, and he could easily use a tachi of this length in a foot battle.

He dragged the blade behind him, held the knife in both hands and leaned towards Lan En.

This posture can hide part of the length of the blade from the enemy, as well as the hidden movements of the hand.

Although at the beginning, both sides showed their weapons.

However, during a weapon fight, as factors such as height, angle of view, light, etc. change, the length of the blade is constantly changing in human subjective vision.

Unless you are already familiar with the opponent's weapon, you basically need to rely on the real-time observation of the weapon fighter to grasp the distance every time the blades intersect.

If the person who hides the blade of the sword in this posture moves forward to suppress the opponent before he draws the sword, it can be said that he has already taken the initiative in the battle.

Yamauchi Nozen's footsteps were loud and powerful.

Moisturized by the water of the source, coupled with a body acquired through diligent training. Let his charge be fierce and swift.

There was already a sound of tearing the air from the blade behind him.

That meant that his knife had started to move, but from Lan En's perspective, he couldn't see the movement trajectory and length of the knife at all.

Flirting? Cut horizontally? Backhand thrust?

There are many possibilities, feel free to guess!

Opposite Yamauchi Nozen, Lan En had calmly touched the handle of the knife on his left waist with his right hand at his side.

Beneath his face, Yamauchi Norizen's eyes flashed with understanding.

He knew that if he didn't draw his sword before the battle, he was either seeking death or having a strange move!

Have you mastered the unique skill [Ashina Cross Slash] in just a few days?

This talent is really enviable, but... I still have to die!

The general's arm has already been raised to his chest. Is this height necessary for a horizontal cut?

"Boom!" There was a sound of armor plates colliding.

Yamauchi Norizen's sword blade was still behind him, and he raised the arm holding the sword to his chest to let his elbow push out!

This move does not come first with the blade at all, but with physical skills!

This extremely confusing sequence of moves made Lan En's eyes widen slightly.

However, there was a real difference in the reaction speed between the two. Lan En's hand that was originally holding the handle of the knife completed the turn halfway, and directly used the back of the armor-covered fist to push back the opponent's elbow.

And Norizen Yamauchi's failure in the elbow attack did not affect his subsequent moves at all, as if this person did not expect the elbow attack to solve the enemy.

He is a general who works on the battlefield, and anyone who relies on physical skills on the battlefield is either mentally ill or really awesome.

He clearly doesn't belong to any of them.

After the elbow strike, the blade behind him slashed across the air with a roaring sound!

Physical skills are not meant to kill the enemy, but to disrupt the rhythm of the enemy's confrontation.

In many swordsmanship, there are even sword moves that require the sword wielder to deliberately make waiting, delayed, and redundant movements.

Because most people cannot withstand the fast pace of sword fighting relying on their nerve reactions, they rely more on muscle reactions.

And when the two sides are "ping-ping-pong-ponging" with fast hitting and rapid chaos, a deliberately slow beat can make the enemy's muscle reaction not adapt, creating a very large offensive and defensive gap.

Then he made a great contribution with one blow.

Yamauchi Norizen's move is similar to this sword technique.

"I will take your head!"

The general's eyes were fixed on Lan En's side neck, which had no gorget or helmet.

Judging from the speed of his sword, not to mention cutting the neck, even if it was cutting the waist of an ordinary person without armor, it would be severed in two!

However, it was precisely because Norizen Yamauchi had focused entirely on Lan En's unprotected side of his neck that he failed to notice the witcher's right hand that had not yet been lowered.

"Dang!!!"

There was a crisp sound of steel colliding, and all those who practiced [Wei Mingliu] felt extremely familiar with this sound.

Because along with the crisp sound, there were also sparks that exploded in a circle.

Norizen Yamauchi's eyes were flashed by the unexpected sparks, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Is it [Dengli]? But he doesn't have a knife in his hand, how can he think it's a fist?!"

When his eyeballs got used to the sudden bright sparks, General Shi was shocked to find out.

There was a circle of sparks just now because of the collision between the sword blade and the opponent's steel arm guard!

His posture became sluggish and stiff after this blow.

Just like the way he looked into Lan En's calm cat eyes.

"Use your fist to cast [Ash Mingren]. Is it fake?!"
