Chapter 619 They Are All Back (5)
"I didn't expect you to have a chance!"
Duan Shuiliu was breathing heavily. Although he had the upper hand, he failed to defeat Liu Qianren.
This was one of the few times he had a headache.
Although he was not invincible in the Sakura Country, none of his opponents had been able to withstand more than ten of his moves. The Chinese swordsman in front of him shocked him greatly.
At this time, a lazy voice came from the side.
"The moves are exquisite, but flashy; there are too many combos, and the transitions are complicated; the swordplay is slow and not sharp enough! As a result, the swordplay is not smooth enough, the attack is unable to defeat the enemy, and the defense is full of loopholes!"
Jiang Ning walked out from the shadows and looked at Duan Shuiliu indifferently.
Duan Shuiliu has never been commented on like this before.
You know, he is the leader of the Twelve Swordsmen of Sakura Country, and his master is the great swordsman Miyamoto Musashi.
Even his master didn't point out so many problems.
A young Chinese man actually commented on his swordsmanship right in front of him, saying it was worthless.
He was instantly annoyed.
"Boy, you are the one who talks the most, but all your words are empty!" Duan Shuiliu said.
"You want to hear something more honest, right?" Jiang Ning snorted and laughed, "Duan Shuiliu, you used a total of 37 moves, and only two of them were threatening to your opponent, the third and the eighteenth. But because you were too rigid and didn't know how to adapt, your opponent saw through your moves at the last moment, dodged the third move, and blocked the eighteenth move!"
"And your sixteenth, twenty-seventh and final moves were all failures. If it weren't for your sword skills, any of these three moves would have been seized upon by the opponent and defeated!"
After hearing this, Duan Shuiliu was shocked.
His set of God-Slaying Sword Technique indeed has a total of thirty-seven moves.
It is a new set of sword techniques that he developed based on the sword techniques of his teacher Miyamoto Musashi.
In the past, when he was fighting against an opponent, he had never used more than ten moves of this sword technique to win.
Therefore, Duan Shuiliu is very confident in this set of swordsmanship.
But today, Jiang Ning's comments hit the nail on the head. When he recalled what Jiang Ning said, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong.
Especially the last move, Liu Qianren almost caught the flaw and defeated him, fortunately he withdrew in time.
Duan Shuiliu's eyes were shining, and the smell of alcohol had dissipated. "Boy, who are you?"
"I'm a businessman!" Jiang Ning said.
In his previous life, he practiced swordsmanship a lot, and whenever he had time, he would call Duan Shuiliu to practice with him.
With the help of ancient books, Duan Shuiliu never defeated him again after competing with him for a year.
"Merchant?" Duan Shuiliu gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you know so much about swordsmanship?"
“I only know a little bit!” Jiang Ning said, “I just saw that Master had such a good seedling, but no one was guiding him. I felt pity for him, so I said a few words!”
This sentence seems to have raised one's seniority.
It was as if he was a senior standing on the top of the mountain, looking down at the juniors below.
"You sound so arrogant!" Duan Shuiliu disagreed.
"You sound so arrogant because you have the power to support you." Jiang Ning said, "My hands are itching, how about I fight with you for a few moves?"
"Okay!" Duan Shuiliu had the same idea.
You've been talking for a long time, and what you said sounds very reasonable, but it's just empty talk.
I don't believe you can really beat me!
Liu Qianren handed the knife to Jiang Ning: "Boss, be careful!"
“No need!” Jiang Ning pushed Liu Qianren’s hand away, walked to the side of the road and slowly walked to the street, casually broke off a branch, and said to Duan Shuiliu: “Use force, I’m afraid of hurting you!”
"I rely on!"
Everyone showed a surprised expression. Using branches as weapons?
This is so reasonable.
"You're looking for death! How dare you insult me?"
Duan Shuiliu gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
He thought Jiang Ning was looking down on him.
"I'm not insulting you, because even if I hold a branch in my hand, you can't beat me!" Jiang Ning held the branch in his hand, his eyes becoming sharp.
He took a sudden step forward, and the branch stabbed towards the broken stream like a nimble dragon.
Duan Shuiliu hurriedly used his samurai sword to block, but he was surprised to find that Jiang Ning's branches seemed random, but each move was aimed at his vital points.
Duan Shuiliu swung his knife to cut the branches, thinking that Jiang Ning would have no weapon to use if he cut the branches.
But every time Jiang Ning was about to chop the branch, he would just retract it, preventing him from chopping it.
This makes him look very clumsy.
"First move, meteor shower!"
Jiang Ning shouted loudly, and the branch pierced Duan Shuiliu's eyes like lightning.
Duan Shuiliu instinctively closed his eyes, leaned back slightly, and avoided the attack.
But before he could react, Jiang Ning's branch had changed direction and stabbed into his chest.
Ban Shuiliu quickly blocked it with his katana, but the force of the branch caused his arms to tremble slightly.
He was surprised to find that Jiang Ning actually had internal strength.
"Second move, split the stars and cut the moon!!"
Jiang Ning's branches drew a graceful arc in the air, and then suddenly chopped down.
Duan Shuiliu used his samurai sword to block, but the branch suddenly changed direction and stabbed his wrist the moment it touched the samurai sword.
Duan Shuiliu was horrified and quickly pulled his hand back to avoid being stabbed in the wrist.
He didn't expect that Jiang Ning could change his moves at any time between attacks and catch him off guard.
It was only two moves now, and he was already exhausted from defending and looked miserable.
Afterwards, Jiang Ning used one move after another, and each move made Duan Shuiliu exhausted.
Cold sweat broke out on Duan Shuiliu's forehead. He didn't expect Jiang Ning to be so powerful.
Under Jiang Ning's attack, his defense gradually showed loopholes.
By the tenth move, Jiang Ning's branch pierced Duan Shuiliu's throat like a poisonous snake.
Duan Shuiliu had no time to dodge and could only watch the branch approaching. Just when the branch was about to pierce his throat, Jiang Ning stopped.
Duan Shuiliu's face was pale. He knelt on one knee, gasping for breath.
He finally understood what Jiang Ning had just said.
If Jiang Ning had a sword in his hand instead of a branch, he would have been defeated within three moves.
Jiang Ning has given him enough face.
Putting the samurai sword on the ground, Duan Shuiliu clasped his hands together and said devoutly: "Your swordsmanship is unfathomable. I am willing to admit that you are superior."
Although Duan Shuiliu was an arrogant person, he was meticulous in swordsmanship. This was the first time he had seen such powerful swordsmanship.
He is even more powerful than his teacher Miyamoto Musashi.
Originally, he had few rivals in the kendo world of Sakura Country. He felt that it was lonely at the top and didn't know how he could improve.
As a result, he became increasingly depressed and drank all day to relieve his stress.
Now, he sees the light again.
"Sir, if you are not stingy, I hope I can teach you something!" Duan Shuiliu knelt on one knee and said very sincerely.
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, threw the branch on the ground, and asked, "Do you believe in our strength this time?"
"Sir, you have already explained the word 'strength' very well. I am just being blinded by one thing!" Duan Shuiliu said.
"Okay!" Jiang Ning helped Duan Shuiliu up and said, "Join my team first. I will correct your swordsmanship when I have time in the future!"
Liu Qianren stepped forward and said, "My swordsmanship is what I have today because of Mr. Jiang's instruction. As long as you join our team and follow Mr. Jiang, you will have unlimited development in the future."
"Thank you!" Duan Shuiliu clasped his fists.
