The middle-aged warrior who came out of the side room wore a black steel medium armor and held an unsharpened two-handed sword in his hand.
He walked to the center of the hall and waved to Feng Chou.
Feng Chou flipped his hand and pulled out a double-edged blade from his back. He pointed at the edge of the blade, indicating that his blade was sharpened.
The middle-aged warrior laughed and said, "It's okay, my armor is very strong."
Feng Chou's straight blade was made by Qiankun Pagoda and was not enchanted. Since the other party said so, he could go all out.
He took off the helmet that he carried on his back like a backpack and put it on his head.
Seeing that he was ready, the middle-aged warrior said, "Use 'Downward Slash' and attack me with all your strength."
Feng Chou heard this and raised his blade above his head, took three steps forward quickly, and slashed down with both hands …
The key point of the downward slash was not the arms, but the waist and abdomen. When Feng Chou slashed down with both hands, his waist and abdomen contracted instantly. At the moment of the slash, the contraction of his waist and abdomen lifted his feet half a foot off the ground.
After a deafening sound of metal clashing, the middle-aged warrior's body trembled. He took a step back and stabilized his body. Feng Chou, on the other hand, borrowed the reaction force of the chop to take three steps back, returning to the starting point of the attack.
The result of this slash not only made the onlookers' eyes light up, but also shocked the middle-aged warrior and Feng Chou.
Feng Chou's sword drew on the strength of his waist and abdomen to unleash his full strength. Furthermore, he also used the Strength of Hydegarr, which was almost 180% of his base strength. This middle-aged warrior was just casually parrying, and probably could not even exert 80% of his strength. Even if the other party also used the Strength of Hydegarr to assist him, it was enough to show that the other party's strength was much stronger than his.
In the temple, Feng Chou did not dare to use Qiankun Pagoda to scan. Priests relied on perception to make a living. If the priest sensed something, it would be troublesome.
Although he couldn't scan it, Feng Chou estimated that this warrior was at least a warrior of the ninth rank!
The middle-aged warrior moved his slightly numb arms and shoulders, slowly taking a few steps to the side, he said, "Alright!
This is the most exciting downward chop I've ever seen. The strength is outstanding! "
"Next is the test of skill. I will attack you, and you have to do your best."
Just as he finished speaking, the middle-aged warrior suddenly rushed forward. He faced Feng Chou sideways. He did not move in a straight line, but in an arc. During this process, he hid the front of his body, the position of his arms, and the position of his sword from Feng Chou's line of sight.
This was one of the classic starting stances of the White Raven Sword Style, the Hidden Sword Form.
After the Hidden Sword Form, there were several ways to attack. There was a downward chop, an upward chop, or a reverse chop with both hands holding the sword. The downward chop was a feint, followed by a sideways stab.
What was even more frightening was that when you could see the opponent's next move, the opponent's move would have already been formed. The speed of the weapon would be at its highest, and there would be no time to defend or dodge. When facing the Hidden Sword Form, as long as the opponent attacked, you would lose. So the best way to deal with the Hidden Sword Form was to prevent the opponent from attacking.
When the warrior took the Hidden Sword Form, Feng Chou did not wait for him to move. Instead, he moved. You want to hide your front and face me from the side, right?
Then I'll take the opportunity to go behind you!
Of course, the middle-aged warrior would not let Feng Chou go behind him. He had to adjust his position according to Feng Chou's movements.
In the end, the two of them circled around the hall like butterflies flying through flowers.
After two rounds, the middle-aged warrior realized that he could not use the Hidden Sword Form on Feng Chou. So, he gave up.
His figure changed, arching his back like a cat, his hands lowered, holding the hilt of the two-handed sword in front of his lower abdomen, the tip of the sword slanted upwards, his body slightly slanted, stepping on Little Torn Cloth as he pounced towards Feng Chou.
This was one of the starting stances of the White Raven Sword Style, the Half Sword Form. There were many ways to attack after this starting stance. For example, one could twist the body and stab, upward chop, or downward chop. As long as one's footwork was slightly different, the attack would change drastically.
However, when using the Half Sword Form, the opponent only had to look at the swordsman's hands and the sword. As long as the sword moved, the opponent would be able to predict the next attack and react accordingly. Unlike the Hidden Sword Form, when the opponent saw the sword, the sword would have already formed and the speed of the sword would have increased.
Although the Half Sword Form was not as dangerous as the Hidden Sword Form, it was more stable. Feng Chou would not be able to go around the opponent's back like he did with the Hidden Sword Form.
Most people would stare at the opponent's hands and sword when dealing with the Half Sword Form. However, Feng Chou stared at the opponent's feet from the corner of his eyes.
The Half Sword Form's attack was different, and the footwork was also different. Compared to the hands, it was easier to judge the opponent's attack from the footwork.
For example, if the Half Sword Form was followed by a twisting body stab, there would be a sideways slide. When Feng Chou saw the sideways slide, he had already taken a sideways step to block the attack.
With this step to the side, he immediately avoided the direction where the twisting sword thrust was the strongest. When he held up his long saber to block, the opponent's sword had just struck out. If at this time, the middle-aged warrior continued to thrust his sword forward, Feng Chou only needed to swing his saber forward, and with a twist of his body, he would be able to cut the back of the opponent's neck.
This middle-aged warrior wasn't a mediocre fighter either. When he saw that something wasn't right, his left leg that was sliding forward kicked backwards, and his body leaped backwards, pulling apart the distance between him and Feng Chou. Once again, he assumed the Half Sword Stance.
This Half Sword Form was a combination of attack and defense. If Feng Chou took advantage of the situation to attack, the opponent would have several ways to defend and counterattack.
However, Feng Chou did not attack. He also used the Half Sword Form to confront the opponent.
The White Raven Sword Form was a very popular sword form. It was a perfect match for the power of Hedegarr. It was said that this sword form was created by the God of War, Hedegarr.
According to the knight training manual, this was a two-handed sword form that could only be learned after reaching level 5.
Qiankun Pagoda's two-handed sword form was mostly derived from the White Raven Sword Form.
Of course, Feng Chou was familiar with this sword form.
After the middle-aged warrior and Feng Chou faced each other for a moment, he suddenly began to brandish his two-handed sword from afar. The sword in his hand seemed to have come to life, rolling up a ring of light that seemed to connect together around him.
Feng Chou's face suddenly turned serious when he saw the middle-aged warrior swinging his sword.
This was the third form of the White Raven Sword Form, the Full Sword Form. It was also the most dangerous form of the White Raven Sword Form.
The middle-aged warrior swung his sword and rolled up a ring of light. He approached Feng Chou like a wheel of swords rolling towards him.
Feng Chou didn't look at the opponent's sword wheel. When the Full Sword Form's infinite loop combo started, the longsword carried the opponent's entire body's strength and the longsword's inertia. Unless Feng Chou's strength was much greater than the opponent's, once he stretched out his hand to block, there was a possibility that his weapon would be knocked away by the opponent, or his weapon would be swung wide open.
Feng Chou lowered his head and looked at the opponent's feet.
