Chapter 34: Moves and Techniques
The road of Jianghu is slippery, and you may fall into the gutter at any time, but the road of Jianghu is sometimes very wide, and Tie Wushuang is really a very righteous person!
That night, Tie Wushuang entertained Chu Lu Ren in his mansion and let him stay overnight.
Although time is not so abundant, the fact that Tie Wushuang is willing to go is already admirable. Why should he be urged or rushed?
Before resting at night, Chu Lu Ren, without any provocation, wanted to stroll in the courtyard of Tie Mansion to digest his food.
It happened that the Bell Swordsmen and some young disciples of the Iron Palace had gathered together. Wang Xiaofeng was still sparring with a disciple of the Iron Palace who was holding a single sword...
Shui Dai originally just wanted to instruct his daughter and disciples to go to Hengshan City, but he happened to meet Tie Wushuang who was going there himself, so he decided to let them go. Naturally, Wang Xiaofeng and Shui Sheng also stayed overnight in Tie's house.
But Wang Xiaofeng at least ranks eleventh on the human list. Tie Wushuang is mainly a man of great righteousness, but his martial arts skills are not as good as Chu Luren, and his disciples...even fewer are successful!
It was obvious that Wang Xiaofeng intended to give way and feed his opponent some moves.
After dozens of moves, the Tiefu disciple also jumped away, put away his knife with his backhand, clasped his fists and said: "Brother Wang's swordsmanship is outstanding, he has inherited the true teachings of Senior Shui, I am no match for him."
Wang Xiaofeng also enjoyed the cheers from the people around him and even said a few humble words to everyone.
Chu Luren also figured out something at this time. Wang Xiaofeng's martial arts were obviously based on his moves - his internal strength was not as good as Chu Luren's.
And maybe because they were sparring with each other, there was no sign of swordsmanship on either side.
The Chu Lu people can now distinguish that the so-called "moves" are somewhat different from the Chu Lu people's own "skills".
Wang Xiaofeng's sword moves are truly a series of stances, while One Finger Zen, Six Meridians Divine Sword, Light Footsteps... are all beyond the stances and belong to the "internal breath operation method."
Just like in the finger technique of “One Yang Finger”, although there are acupoint pressing techniques, they are just details. What is really important is how to transform the internal energy into the finger power of One Yang Finger.
The reason why the Six Meridians Divine Sword is completely different from ordinary finger power and that it is integrated into the "Pulse Summoning" greatly increases its attack range even if it is just a supplement. This is not because of the difference in posture when the finger is out and the One Yang Finger, but the difference in the way the internal breath is circulated!
Although the Six Meridians Divine Sword also has "sword moves", and the Tianlong Temple Six Meridians Sword Formation is based on this, this sword move itself is not the Six Meridians Divine Sword. It is not that the finger strength can be turned into sword energy by following the concave shape. It is just a way of using the Six Meridians sword energy...
Similarly, whether it is Lingbo Weibu or Kunyou Xukong, in actual combat not every step must be taken in a certain direction, otherwise how can one be agile?
What needs to be equipped in the "skill" is the part of internal breath circulation. As for the moves... Chu Lu Ren can use them at will. It's just that if Chu Lu Ren uses any sword moves, due to the lack of coordinated internal breath circulation means, it is equivalent to only the passive attribute bonus of internal force, and the power will be more touching.
The same is true of the Supreme Sword Canon that Chu Lu Ren merged into not long after he traveled through time...
As for the sword moves, Chu Lu Ren actually remembered them, but he was no longer able to use the accompanying supreme sword energy. Its power was only one tenth of what it was. It was basically... similar to the Exorcism Sword Technique without practicing internal energy, just third-rate!
However, when the Chu Lu people were equipped with "Taizu's Vitality" before, the "kicking exercise" was a special matching move that could bring out the effect of internal force explosion. Although it looks stupid, it is quite powerful.
This is why, in addition to Qinggong and body skills, the Chu Lu people only have three empty spaces for "Skills" - this kind of moves also require the internal breath to circulate through the meridians to nourish. When just changing moves, there will be a feeling of internal breath disorder, but because it is just a "Skill", it is not serious, and it will not have much impact as long as it is not changed before the battle.
At this time, Shui Sheng noticed that Chu Lu Ren was also watching from the side, nodding from time to time, and suddenly felt a little awkward.
In fact, Chu Luren was just thinking about himself, but in Shui Sheng's opinion, it seemed like he was "praising the younger generation"...
As a "rebellious" girl, Shui Sheng rolled her eyes and took the initiative to say, "Huh? Brother Chu is here too, why don't you show us some of your skills?"
Wang Xiaofeng also looked at Chu Lu Ren at this time and clasped his fists in the same manner: "I heard that Brother Chu and Blood Knife Patriarch fought for dozens of moves. I wonder if I can ask you a thing or two?"
The disciples of the Iron Mansion who were around also joined in the commotion - it wasn't a big deal in the first place, it was normal for young people to have a fight, and emotionally they preferred the familiar Bell and Sword Heroes rather than the Chu Lu Ren who came to cause trouble for their master!
"When facing the Blood Knife Ancestor, I was just taking advantage of him... This guy is very good at fighting. Not only is he cruel and ruthless, but he is also lustful as a devil. If you meet him alone, you must not fight him!" Chu Lu Ren reminded very kindly.
But when these words are spoken, they sound like clumsy self-boasting.
Wang Xiaofeng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He just watched Chu Lu Ren take a few steps and come to the opposite side of him. Knowing that the other party had agreed to compete, he did not continue to provoke him - actions always speak louder than words!
Although Chu Lu Ren was able to fight with the Blood Blade Ancestor for dozens of moves, Wang Xiaofeng at this time clearly lacked understanding of the Blood Blade Ancestor's strength...
However, Chu Lu Ren knew that in "The Untold Story", Wang Xiaofeng's highlight moment was when he and many other people in the martial arts world besieged the Blood Knife Patriarch who had abducted Shui Sheng. He managed to block the Blood Knife Patriarch's thirty-six sword strikes, which amazed other people in the martial arts world.
Of course, there is actually another sentence behind the original work...
If the Blood Knife Patriarch slowed down and fought Wang Xiaofeng's moves seriously, a dozen moves would be enough to take his life.
It was just because he was under siege at that time, and the Blood Knife Patriarch just relied on the "randomly practiced joyful Zen" to activate the "Blood Knife Sutra" and used the word "fast" to draw his sword and chopped around mindlessly.
Wang Xiaofeng practiced the nine styles of "Peacock Sword Technique" passed down to him by Shui Dai until he was completely familiar with it, especially the "Peacock Spreading its Tail" style...
Although it was very rigid, this Peacock Spreading its Tail was good at defense, so the Blood Knife Patriarch's thirty-six strikes, each one faster than the last, were all blocked by Wang Xiaofeng!
"Brother Chu, do you need any suitable weapons?" Wang Xiaofeng asked when he saw Chu Lu Ren was unarmed.
"No need, I'm good at finger techniques." Chu Lu Ren didn't keep the secret.
"Then I'm sorry, please!" After Wang Xiaofeng said this, he stabbed Chu Lu Ren with his sword.
To deal with Wang Xiaofeng, Chu Lu Ren did not need to wait for him to get close to him like he did with the Blood Blade Ancestor, and then use the flexibility of Kunyou Void to get close to him. Instead, he pointed out before Wang Xiaofeng got close...
When Chu Lu Ren pointed out his finger, a strong force gushed out from the point where his finger pointed. Although Wang Xiaofeng was thirty or four feet away, the force from his finger was condensed and did not dissipate, and it attacked him directly!
Wang Xiaofeng instinctively held his sword horizontally and used the Colorful Wings technique from the Peacock Sword Technique to block Chu Lu Ren's finger force, but his palms inevitably felt numb and he couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.
In fact, this is also because after the integration of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, the effective distance of the pulsating finger force has been greatly improved, which makes it easy for people to misunderstand Chu Luren’s internal strength.
Moreover, Pulse Summoning is just not good at direct attack, it does not mean that it has no direct attack power!
Just because Blood Knife Patriarch can ignore the effects of his direct attacks doesn't mean Wang Xiaofeng can do the same...
After forcing Wang Xiaofeng to retreat with one move, Chu Lu Ren did not stop. He moved his hands continuously and attacked Wang Xiaofeng's soft spots with his fingers.
Because "Pulse Summoning" lacks the sharpness of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and is completely different from the condensed Six Meridians Sword Qi, it is impossible to perform coherent sword moves...
However, Wang Xiaofeng had not yet mastered the Peacock Sword Technique to perfection. After practicing more than twenty moves, Chu Lu Ren hit a major acupoint on his chest with a finger. His internal energy suddenly became chaotic, and he almost couldn't hold the sword... In the end, he couldn't even get close to Chu Lu Ren, who was three feet around him!
