The Rise of the European Emperor

Jack the Ripper froze for a moment, then laughed loudly:

"Haha, are there no one in your imperial guards? Send such a thin person up to die?"

Indeed, Jack the Ripper is about 1.83 meters tall, full of muscles, and his arms are thicker than the average person's legs. Janus, who stood up to the challenge, was only about 1.75 meters tall and relatively thin. It seems that there seems to be no suspense in the duel between the two. After all, this is not a heavyweight contest.

Janus was not very angry, but said lightly:

"Let me remind you, my knife is very fast! In addition, my knife is also a good knife. It is a precious knife made by a famous craftsman in the Grand Duchy of Beihai! Therefore, you'd better get a good knife, so that the knife will not be cut off."

After finishing speaking, Janus raised the sailor's scimitar in his hand.

Janus was right, this sailor's scimitar looked no different from a normal sailor's scimitar, but it was forged with the latest sword-making technology from Beihai. That is to use medium carbon steel with good toughness as the aggregate, and then surface carburize the blade. This makes the toughness of the blade and the hardness of the blade very good, which is a rare good knife.

Of course, this kind of sword making technology is not complicated, it is nothing more than using medium carbon steel as the main body of the blade, and then carburizing the surface. However, its performance is similar to those treasured swords that have been tempered for thousands of years. Therefore, when it was sold to the outside world, Beihai State also claimed that it was a precious sword made by a famous craftsman with great effort, and the price was also very high. For the sake of comparison, the inscription was engraved on it - first-class product, Haman, the master knife maker. After such packaging, the price of the knife immediately went up, dozens of times that of an ordinary sailor's scimitar.

In fact, Harman was just an ordinary swordsmith in the forge of the North Sea State. But after using the new sword-making technology, the quality of the swords made by the ordinary craftsman Harman is indeed no worse than those made by the traditional master sword-smiths. Coupled with Marin's intention to sell at a high price, he naturally gave him the false name of "Master of Knife Casting", which is mainly used to bluff people.

However, Jack the Ripper was not deterred. Because, his machete is not ordinary. It was forged by the late London master swordsmith Harrison, so he said arrogantly:

"Master Haman you are talking about, we have never heard of it. Kid, you will not be deceived, right? The Duke of the North Sea, Marin, is himself a liar and a bastard. His domestic swordsmith Teacher, what level can you have?"

"That's right, it's just something made by crooked artisans in a crooked country, and it must be a low-quality product!" The men in black around echoed.

No wonder, in the eyes of these Tudor remnants, Edward is the biggest villain, and the second villain is none other than Marin. Because it was Marin who led the army to help Edward eliminate the Tudor dynasty and make them become bereaved dogs. Therefore, these men in black expressed contempt for everything about Marin.

But Janus wasn't annoyed, because he had originally planned to delay time. He knew that the army outside the west city should almost enter the city by now. The longer the delay, the better for yourself. If it is delayed until the reinforcements arrive, then the victory is guaranteed.

Therefore, Janus watched with a smile as the group of men in black scolded Marin for venting their anger, and silently looked at each other pretending to...

After scolding for a while, those people in black stopped. At this time, Jack the Ripper was too lazy to talk nonsense. He lifted the heavy machete and said to Janus:

"Boy, I don't care what kind of broken knife your knife is, I will not show mercy. Seeing how light your knife is, I'm afraid it will be broken when I cut it down. When I cut off your knife, I will cut open your chest , look what your heart looks like!"

"The Ripper!"

"The Ripper!"

The men in black on the side shouted to cheer, but when Jack raised his knife, the men in black stopped shouting. Then Jack glared and shouted:

"Boy, are you ready? I'm going to make a knife!"

...

"Perhaps with one shot, the world will be left and right; even if one speaks, the air will tremble..."

With some unknown, perhaps non-existent background music,

Jack the Ripper raised his heavy machete in his hand, and with a move of "slashing Huashan with force", he slashed towards Janus in front of him with great force. Wherever the machete came, the wind howled...

However, to Jack the Ripper's disappointment, the thin knifeman in front of him had no panic expression on his face, but raised his knife...

"Dang—" There was a crisp collision sound. Under the pressure of Jack's machete, Janus's sailor's scimitar was bent, but not broken.

Also, Janus wasn't really head-to-head. After the two knives met, Janus quickly raised his arm, drew the knife, and swung aside with his own sailor machete and Jack's heavy machete.

If someone familiar with oriental martial arts is present, they will definitely exclaim - "Tai Chi"...

This is obviously the technique of "four two strokes of a thousand catties" in Tai Chi...

Of course, this is not authentic Tai Chi, but the half-baked swordsmanship that Janus learned from Marin and learned from Tai Chi (Marin named it blindly, which means to swing the opponent's sword with skill). The key is to first use your wrist to drive the body of your sword to face the enemy's sword, and use the upward kinetic energy of your sword to offset part of the kinetic energy of the enemy's sword. Then, as soon as the two swords come into contact, immediately use your wrist to control your own sword to draw a circle downward, then left and right, to relieve the enemy's slashing power.

When did Janus learn from Marin? It was halfway before Marin led the army to help Edward march into London. Because of boredom, Marin sometimes compared swordsmanship with his guards or Edward's guards. After all, he is also a knight, and it is normal for him to move his body even if he has nothing to do. And Janus, who was Edward's guard at the time, also found an opportunity to compete with Marin in the art of swords. Janus admired the so-called "sword swing" "invented" by Marin very much, and then learned it for a while, and the effect was good. Especially when fighting against those powerful opponents, they can often be caught by surprise.

For example, this time Jack's machete was chopped down heavily, and after being swung aside by Janus with swordsmanship, Jack, who exerted too much force, was almost flashed to the waist.

In fact, when Jack's foothold was not stable, Janus clearly had the opportunity to take advantage of his unstable foothold, bully him, and wipe Jack's neck with a single knife. However, Janus held back...

why? Because the purpose of the battle between Janus and Jack now is not to win, but to delay time.

After all, the recruits from the first and second phalanxes of the Imperial Guard were far from being the opponents of the men in black in front of them. Because, in terms of personal martial arts, these people who have been hanging out in the underground dark world for a long time in front of them are definitely far superior to those young recruits in the first and second phalanxes. If he killed Jack in front of him, the other party would definitely give up the duel and choose a group fight. Group fights are exactly what the recruits of the first and second phalanxes are least good at. Therefore, Janus could only resist the urge to kill Jack and continue to deal with him with swordsmanship.

Because of his thin and flexible body, Janus used his swordsmanship to the extreme, which made Jack the Ripper extremely uncomfortable. Generally speaking, Jack is proud of the underground world of London by virtue of his great strength and fast knife skills. However, his fast, ruthless and accurate knife skills have no effect on Janus. He didn't know that Janus was actually better at martial arts than him, and he didn't kill him immediately just to delay time...

"Wow, you bastard, can you fight me head-on like a man? If you are a man, you have to be straight. You are so slippery, you are not a man!" Jack yelled angrily. Jack played very passionately, and it also fits the street hacking atmosphere set off by the background music of "Invincible". However, with his passion, he met Janus who moved slowly like an old lady... The background music was suddenly changed to "Fate" - "Swords, lights, swords and shadows are not my style. The sky and the sea have my own style. With both hands push……"

Janus was also happy to quarrel with him to delay the time, so he stopped and took a step back to defend:

"Look, my body is not as strong as yours. If I fight head-on with you, don't I seek death? Who wants to seek death? Are you willing? Since I don't want to die, I can only fight you like this..." After finishing speaking, he pretended to be helpless. Spread your hands.

...

In this way, the two parties came and went, wasting a lot of time... until the leader of the man in black, Jones, came...

"Jack, what are you doing? Why didn't you stop attacking?" Jones Stanley roared angrily.

"Boss Jones, wait a moment, I'll finish off the kid in front of me, and I'll lead someone to kill him!" Jack yelled depressingly. Then, his knife was swung aside by Janus again...

After Jones watched in silence for a while, he finally saw the way. So he cried out:

"Jack, he is deliberately delaying time with you! You are not his opponent, stand down and let me do it!" After finishing speaking, Jones took off his gorgeous coat, revealing the black man's suit inside, and took it from his waist. Out of... two knives...

In other words, Jones was also very famous in the underworld in London back then, and "Double Knife Jones" was his nickname back then. Although he is the illegitimate son of a great nobleman, personal martial arts are also required. Otherwise, they won't be able to subdue those villains in the underground world. Therefore, Jones has practiced martial arts since he was a child. In terms of martial arts, he is stronger than Jack. It's just that Jack became famous because he later became the leader and rarely did anything himself.

Jack the Ripper seemed displeased, but Jones yelled again:

"Back off!"

It was only then that Jack reluctantly wanted to retreat...

But Janus was in a hurry. He knew that his intentions had been exposed. But at this time, he didn't want Jack to retreat, so he entangled the other party, wanting to keep Jack. But Jack was more obedient, he was more resolute in his moves, and his body was also retreating.

Seeing that he couldn't keep the opponent, Janus couldn't care less about hiding his clumsiness, so he suddenly became violent and accelerated the speed of his moves. The moment he swung Jack's knife, he quickly wiped Jack's neck with the machete...

Jack was frightened to death, and he understood the reason why Jones said "you are not his opponent". At the critical moment of life and death, Jack didn't care about his face, lay down on the ground, rolled backwards, barely avoiding Janus' sharp knife.

Seeing that Janus could not kill Jack, in desperation, the blade finally wiped Jack's right arm which was rolling, and injured Jack's right arm. Because, Janus knows, the enemy will soon attack. Jack's fierce swordsmanship is very suitable for charging. If he was the vanguard, he would pose a great threat to the recruits of the Imperial Guard. Therefore, although he failed to kill Jack in the end, he still wounded Jack's right arm holding the knife with a sharp knife, making him unable to do it for a short time.

...

After Jack rolled back, Jones, holding a pair of knives, took a step forward, blocking the way for Janus to continue chasing Jack, and said in a deep voice:

"Young man, your saber skills are good. However, your strange saber skills won't work for me!" After speaking, he slowly raised his two knives...

"Double knives..." Janus' pupils shrank suddenly, and a panic appeared on his face.

why? Because of the half-baked "sword swing" that Janus learned from Marin, he didn't say how to deal with double knives...
