Chapter 6: Failure due to hubris
Yasuo's long sword carries his powerful strength, although Yasuo does not look like a strong type in the game, and even looks a little thin.
But in fact, this is not the case. Li Ke is very clear about how amazing Yasuo's muscles are, but he can't be compared with those guys with abnormally bulging muscles.
So the moment he saw Yasuo holding the sword with both hands, Li Ke knew that he would definitely not be able to take this sword!
The energy surged in his body. Although he remembered that he was very skilled in using this power, Li Ke could feel it was awkward and could not be used as he wished.
The reason was simple, his body was different from the one in his memory, his aptitude, physique, even the length of his hands and the distribution of his muscles were all different.
It's normal to feel a little awkward .
But it's enough.
Turning around quickly, Li Ke's speed was 30% faster than his usual self. He could easily dodge the sword that he should have been unable to dodge.
"good!"
Yasuo shouted loudly and slashed the crooked sword horizontally in the air. This action was actually very difficult and quite strenuous, but Yasuo did it very easily.
The sword that was supposed to hit the ground slashed towards Li Ke's shoulder, and Li Ke raised his sword again to block it. His steps also began to change.
With another clear metallic sound, Yasuo's attack was blocked again. Li Ke took advantage of the moment when his sword could not turn, stepped forward, and stepped towards the direction where Yasuo wanted to step. The long sword in his hand that was blocking Yasuo's sword also turned around and cut towards Yasuo's arm.
This is a combination of steps and slashing, and is also the most essential move of the Yufeng School.
Step forward and kill!
A skill that allows you to slash at an enemy while your body is intertwined with theirs, without getting hurt. It sounds exaggerated in the game, but that's how it works in practice.
The crisis came, but Yasuo was not panicked at all. He had not really taken any action . Facing Li Ke who was using his own strength to cut him, his movements became faster.
"Hahaha!!"
The sword cannot be withdrawn?
It doesn’t matter!
Raising his elbow and twisting his body, Yasuo dodged Li Ke's sword by a hair's breadth and struck Li Ke in the cheek with his elbow without hesitation.
The moment Li Ke's hands were empty, he raised his arms to block and placed his arm on top of Yasuo's arm to prevent the elbow with the greatest attack power from hitting his body.
But unfortunately, his strength was still far from enough!
His arm was instantly defeated, and Li Ke had to dodge sideways, but this gave Yasuo an opportunity. He raised his leg almost instantly and kicked Li Ke in the chest.
Li Ke didn't react, but he subconsciously drew out his scabbard with his left hand, blocked his chest with it, and slightly tiptoed.
The huge force hit Li Ke, and he flew out of his house like a kite with a broken string. But he did not fall down the moment he landed, but got ready before landing, and put his sword back into his scabbard the moment he landed.
He was going to use the moves he had obtained through the previous 'simulation'.
Sword drawing technique.
In the real world, the art of drawing a sword is actually a form of assassination, a technique where people suddenly draw their swords and kill someone during a negotiation.
It sounds cool and powerful, but in fact the action is not cool and is also quite despicable.
But this is not the case in the world called Arad.
Gather as much energy as possible, accumulate as much strength as possible, use the sheath's spiritual energy-accumulating effect, and release the maximum amount of energy and strength at the moment of drawing the sword.
This was the only move he had learned in the continent of Arad in his dream.
"Not bad. After you got sick, your reaction and strength have improved."
Turning the sword in his hand, Yasuo walked out of Li Ke's house. Looking at Li Ke who was standing there ready to go, he became more and more excited.
Li Ke has become stronger.
Whether it's strength, reaction speed, or unintentional instinctive movements, they all feel completely different from before.
This made him look forward to it very much.
Yasuo is such a person now. He only wants to prove that he is the most powerful by defeating the strong. So although Li Ke has never done anything wrong to him and has never offended him, he just wants Li Ke to be defeated by him!
Otherwise, how can we prove that he is a genius? !
"Let me see what you can do! Let me be a little more serious."
The figure moved quickly towards Li Ke. Yasuo felt that he had figured out Li Ke's strength and speed. Although his strength and speed could keep up with his movements, he would still lose if he really fought!
Taking a step forward, Yasuo rushed towards Li Ke like a sharp arrow, and the knife in his hand fell into his sheath.
That's right, he was going to defeat Li Ke head-on with the sword-drawing technique! Defeat Li Ke with the very trick that Li Ke thought he could defeat him with!
Arrogant!
Just by exchanging glances, Li Ke understood what the other person was thinking, and a feeling of being looked down upon instantly appeared in his heart.
No matter how you think about it, Yasuo's act of putting his weakness in front of him is a disregard for him - how much thought can a sword that falls into the scabbard in a hurry accumulate?
Emotion drives the will, the will drives the body, and the changes in the body stimulate the Qi in Li Ke's body.
The scabbard that was kicked by Yasuo began to crack, and the energy accumulated in Li Ke became violent, blowing open the cracks on the scabbard and turning part of the scabbard into fragments.
And in Yasuo's eyes, the moment Li Ke opened his eyes, his body was enveloped by violent airflow.
He realized something was wrong, but still had confidence in his own strength.
Then, the two swordsmen drew their swords at the same time.
The clear sound of swords rang out again, and light shone in the courtyard.
Swordsmen passed each other, the sound of swords buzzed, and flower petals were scattered all over the courtyard because of the confrontation between the two. Under the moonlight, it seemed as if snow had fallen in the courtyard.
A piece of Li Ke's hair was blown slightly by the wind, and a complete flower hit the hair, and then fell gently .
But Yasuo looked at the broken sword in his hand in disbelief. The cut was so neat and so painful.
The sword surface was still as smooth as a mirror, allowing him to see the shallow bloody wound on his cheek.
The slightly curved sword blade kept reflecting light in the sky, making a humming sound, and landed between the two people with their backs to each other.
"How can it be?"
He couldn't help but mutter to himself. He remembered clearly that Li Ke's level was not even comparable to his. No one could keep up with him in terms of strength, speed, and reaction. In fact, it was still the same now. If he took it seriously...
"Because you didn't charge any money... ahem... you're too arrogant, Yasuo."
Looking at the cracked sword in his hand, Li Ke couldn't help but sigh slightly. He was a poor boy, and the cost of repairing the sword would drain out his meager savings.
I don’t know if this drunkard Yasuo still has money in his pocket, otherwise his uncle would be very angry.
Naturally, his words were not kind to Yasuo.
However, Yasuo now has a personality that cannot afford to lose.
"Stop talking nonsense! Come again!"
