Chapter 584: Tournament (middle)
Otto's vertical-slash-to-sweep attack was his most proud method. He once used this move to defeat many powerful opponents. In a bandit suppression not long ago, facing a powerful bandit leader, he suddenly resorted to this move after a long struggle, caught the opponent by surprise, and then severely injured him, forcing the opponent to abandon his tribe and flee. .
At that time, he didn't hunt him down—the man's grudge was cold, full of vitality, and most importantly, it contained deep anger, which made him vaguely guess the identity of the other party. If you kill the opponent directly in the battle, it's fine. Since you didn't kill the opponent on the battlefield, you don't have to be a villain in vain.
When that person died, the Thracian family benefited, and the Alanz family did not benefit.
And today, in the face of the famous "Dragon Slayer", he used his own trick from the very beginning!
Faced with this violent and strange blow, the panda was also taken aback. But what he didn't expect was not Otto's tricks, but Otto's speed.
How could this tyrannical man have such a fast speed? !
Fortunately, Otto's tricks were not unexpected - vertical splits, turns and sweeps were strange, but Panda had already guessed the movement of Otto's shoulders before charging.
In the martial arts novels, there is the so-called "Nine Swords of Dugu, which is called "the first to come first, and to take advantage of the flaws". Of course, Panda will not have the mysterious swordsmanship that will make the physics teacher lose his hair, but he can also predict the enemy's opportunities to a certain extent.
Otto's tricks are sure to be majestic when used on the battlefield, but they are still somewhat crude when used in one-on-one competitions. At least in the face of an opponent like Panda who has been specializing in "skills" in the low martial arts world for many years, it is really not precise enough.
This is also the result of the power gap between the two worlds. On Earth, the difference in physical fitness between the strongest warriors and ordinary warriors is not very big, especially in weapon confrontation, the gap in physical fitness is narrowed even more. A few young people who have trained a little bit with long spears can be forced to The top players kept retreating, which was unimaginable. Therefore, on Earth, martial artists pursue higher skills, and it is true that the two aspects of "faster and stronger" have reached a bottleneck, and there is no way to improve.
In this world, there is a huge gap in the physical fitness of warriors. A strong warrior such as Panda can fight dozens of people with brute force alone. If there are a few weird men in the guild, they can even drag hundreds of strong men down and down in a tug-of-war competition by themselves. climb. With such a big gap in physical fitness, martial artists in this world naturally pursue more practical "fastness" and "strength". As for ingenuity... To be honest, in the face of faster and stronger opponents, ingenuity is really not very useful.
However, in cases where there is no significant difference in speed and power from each other, the cleverness is of great use.
Otto swept his axe, and even if he couldn't hit his opponent, he could force his opponent to block with his sword -- it would be a big disadvantage for a light weapon to block a heavy weapon. too much. Even if the opponent reacts extremely quickly and retreats to avoid the blow, he still has follow-up tricks, which must be like a rushing raging wave, and he will suppress the opponent in one go.
But he never expected that in the face of his attack that was violent enough to split an elite soldier in heavy armor into two pieces, the panda not only did not retreat, but instead took a step forward.
Just one step.
After this step, the distance between the two sides is much closer. What's worse, the panda's left-handed sword is blocked on the handle of Otto's axe gun.
Weapons like the axe gun are extremely powerful, but the power is concentrated at the front end. If the panda uses a sword to block the position of the axe blade, it is absolutely impossible to block it - if it can block heavy weapons with light weapons like in the anime works, There must be a huge gap in the strength of the two sides. How to fight and how to win does not need to be entangled at all - but blocking like this now only requires much less strength.
Anyone who has studied elementary physics knows that in a lever system with a fulcrum, for the same force, the closer the distance to the fulcrum, the smaller the torque; the farther away from the fulcrum, the greater the torque. Therefore, to block a blow from the axe gun, the closer the block point is to the head of the gun, the harder it is, and the closer it is to the tail of the gun, the more labor-saving it is.
Panda's left hand sword was one square, and his arm shook slightly, but he still blocked Otto's blow. The sword in his right hand, without hesitation, took it straight to the middle door, and stabbed it in the chest.
Otto's martial arts skills are not low. When he saw the panda walking forward, he had roughly guessed the panda's move, and immediately turned his body to the side. At the same time, he used the force of the collision between the axe gun and the left-hand sword to close the gun, and the tail of the gun just came back. Knocked off Panda's right sword.
But at this time, the distance between the two sides has been shortened from the "three steps" most suitable for weapons such as axe guns to the "one step" most suitable for swords.
At this distance, the strength advantage of the axe and spear cannot be exerted, but the speed advantage of the double sword can be fully exerted.
The panda smiled, and the double swords were swung continuously like a gust of wind, attacking up and down, left and right, and from a distance, it seemed like a large white light was blooming between the two, which was dazzling.
On the other hand, Otto could only turn the length into the short, constantly blocking with the axe and spear, trying to avoid being slashed by the sword as much as possible.
On the competition arena, the tinkling sound of golden and iron symphony sounded hurriedly, one after another, for almost half a minute in one breath.
This half-minute was extremely difficult for Otto. He had nowhere to use his strength. He was completely suppressed by the panda in his moves, and he even got hit with several swords. Although the power of each sword of Panda is not great in pursuit of speed, if he hadn't been wearing heavy armor, there would have been many wounds on his body, and the blood would not stop.
But Otto didn't show any anger, but a smile appeared in his eyes.
He has found his chance to turn defeat into victory!
Although I don't know why, it is very strange that the swordsmanship used by the dignified "Dragon Slayer" turned out to be a swordsmanship without armor.
There is a significant difference between armored swordsmanship and unarmored swordsmanship. The most important difference is that the former focuses on strength, while the latter doesn't care - for an enemy wearing armor, an attack with insufficient strength is meaningless; but for an enemy who does not wear armor, even a slight rub of the blade can cause the opponent to be injured.
Among these two types of swordsmanship, Otto is of course familiar with the armored swordsmanship, but he is somewhat familiar with the swordsmanship without armor - in reality, it is impossible for you to wear armor all the time, and you will know some fighting methods when you are not wearing armor, so you can be prepared. .
So he has already seen that the panda's swordsmanship is clearly aimed at the unarmored enemy.
This kind of swordsmanship is of course fast and ingenious, but in fact, facing himself in heavy armor, it will reveal great flaws.
A smile flickered in his eyes, his hand immediately changed, the axe and spear shrank, covering his head and face, and regardless of the panda's double swords stabbing towards his chest, he stabbed it fiercely.
(Your sword can't hurt me, but you can't take my shot!)
A shot was stabbed, and the corners of his mouth under the mask had been slightly raised, revealing a smile with a good chance of winning.
