Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 401: Master of Tie, Hu Yanzhuo, wins over others with virtue! [3 more]

"Brother, in my opinion..."

At this time, Wu Song, who had been silent behind Liu Gao, suddenly interrupted:

"They are evenly matched."

"is it?"

Liu Gao was not surprised by Wu Song's opinion.

Because Hu Yanzhuo is the number one “Master of Ties” in “Water Margin”!
Hu Yanzhuo's biggest feature is that he is 50-50, even with Lu Zhishen and Hu Sanniang...

When it comes to a 50-50 match, Hu Yanzhuo is not willing to admit defeat to anyone!

Wu Song's martial arts ability is higher than Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo, so he is more accurate:

“Fifth Brother didn’t make a move at first, perhaps to show off his martial saint demeanor and let Hu Yanzhuo make the first move.

“Or maybe he wanted to strike back.

"Hu Yanzhuo took the initiative to attack because he was eager to prove himself and wanted to strike first.

“But Hu Yanzhuo soon discovered that the fifth brother was as strong as him, so he quickly adjusted to a defensive counterattack.

“Fifth brother did not hold back, he was just as strong as Hu Yanzhuo.

“If two opponents of equal strength focus on defense, it will be difficult to determine the winner.

“In the first fifty rounds, Fifth Brother attacked with all his strength but was unable to break Hu Yanzhuo’s defense.

"After fifty rounds, the Fifth Brother's momentum gradually declined.

"Although Hu Yanzhuo's defense was successful, it was useless. Defense cannot lead to victory.

“And no matter how successful the defense is, the momentum will be suppressed.

"Hu Yanzhuo's momentum has been suppressed by the fifth brother, so he can only passively defend and is unable to fight back.

"If it was my second brother, third brother, fourth brother or me, we would continue to suppress Hu Yanzhuo!
"Until he is overwhelmed and loses his momentum!

"But I don't know if there is something wrong with Fifth Brother's family martial arts. Fifth Brother's momentum has declined greatly...

“Generally speaking, martial arts that are as powerful as a dragon in the early stages but slightly weaker in the later stages are all about quick fights and quick decisions!
"Use overwhelming force to defeat the opponent in the shortest possible time!
“But for some reason, Fifth Brother did not win the battle quickly or crush it with ease.

"So it is indeed as Big Brother said -

"There's something wrong with him!"

Huang Wenbing and Wen Huanzhang were overwhelmed by what they heard.

Intellectuals like them hate fighting and killing and using knives and guns the most.

However, Liu Gao understood it. Although Wu Song's words were more tactful, he meant that Guan Sheng started off well but ended badly.

Or it could be said that Guan Sheng's inherited martial arts started well but ended badly.

This is not surprising, as this is the case with Guan Yu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

When Guan Yu fights someone in a duel, he either kills them in one blow or they fight for dozens of rounds before the winner is decided...

The most intuitive comparison is Ji Ling. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both fought against Ji Ling.

Guan Yu and Ji Ling fought for thirty rounds without a clear winner, but Guan Yu was stabbed off his horse by Zhang Fei in less than ten rounds!
Of course, the difference in strength between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is not that big. In fact, the two have different fighting styles.

Guan Yu’s most powerful sword is the first sword!

If you can withstand Guan Yu’s first blow, you can basically survive the rest.

Zhang Fei is completely the opposite. His spear is more powerful than the other one, and he becomes stronger and stronger as he fights!

This certainly does not mean that Zhang Fei is stronger than Guan Yu. Guan Yu could kill Yan Liang with one sword, which is something Zhang Fei could not do.

Therefore, it is normal that Guan Sheng’s battle with Hu Yanzhuo started off well but ended badly.

What’s abnormal is, where is his strongest first sword?
Liu Gao was a little confused:
Guan Sheng let the water go?
But he is tied to the golden signboard of the Martial Saint, there is no way he can let go!

Then why didn't he use the strongest first strike?

Could it be... that he doesn't have the strongest first strike?
It's been a hundred rounds...

Guan Sheng was very depressed.

Hu Yanzhuo's martial arts were indeed inferior to his, and his momentum was suppressed by him.

Under normal circumstances, he should have won, but Hu Yanzhuo defended tightly and Guan Sheng couldn't break his defense. It wasn't that Guan Sheng didn't want to break Hu Yanzhuo's defense, but he couldn't.

His family martial arts are incomplete!

It has been a thousand years since Guan Yu and Guan Sheng!

Even if the jade seal had been passed down for a thousand years it would not be intact, let alone his family martial arts?
It's not that it's incomplete, but what makes Guan Sheng depressed is the lack of a killer move that can be the final blow.

When encountering ordinary opponents, Guan Sheng is invincible!
But when he met an opponent of equal strength, especially a "tie master" like Hu Yanzhuo who was good at defense, it was very embarrassing...

Guan Sheng has tried his best, and Hu Yanzhuo has also tried his best.

The result was that there was no winner after a hundred rounds.

Even the people beating the gongs and drums beside them lost their energy and played weakly, making the whole thing sound like a funeral rite...

What Wu Song could see, Lu Junyi and Lin Chong could certainly see as well.

Lu Junyi and Lin Chong looked at each other, and Lin Chong decisively stepped out to interrupt the fight:

"Fifth brother, General Huyan, please stop!

"When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!
"We are all in the same boat, just sparring with each other, why should we hurt the harmony?"

"Humph!"

Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo looked at each other, reached a tacit understanding, and then both of them stopped at the same time.

In fact, Guan Sheng was unwilling to accept this, because it was obvious that he had been suppressing Hu Yanzhuo all along!

In the end, there was no winner, I am not willing to accept this!

But he couldn't accept it, he couldn't take down Hu Yanzhuo...

Hu Yanzhuo let out a long breath and clasped his fists towards Guan Sheng:

“The descendants of the Martial Saint are truly extraordinary!
"I admire you!"

Guan Sheng's face turned red and shiny black:
"The direct descendant of Iron Whip King Hu Yanzan is indeed an expert in whipping!"

It has only been a few generations from Hu Yanzan to Hu Yanzhuo, and it is obvious that Hu Yanzhuo has inherited the true teachings of Hu Yanzan!
But it has been a thousand years from Guan Yu to Guan Sheng!
If he had also inherited the true teachings from his ancestors, how could he have been able to defeat Hu Yanzhuo?
Guan Sheng was not angry with Hu Yanzhuo, he just hated that he did not receive the true teachings of his ancestors...

This is the eternal pain in his heart!
The gambling fight was between him and Hu Yanzhuo. Although Lin Chong called a halt to the fight, he would not announce the result.

This is respect for Guan Sheng.

Guan Sheng put away his knife and said coldly:
“This gambling fight is a draw!
"General Huyan, please do as you please!"

After all, he is the descendant of the Martial Saint, and Guan Sheng is proud, so he let Hu Yanzhuo go even if it was a draw.

In this regard, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and others did not stop Guan Sheng, and they even expressed their appreciation for Guan Sheng's move.

Huang Wenbing was anxious: "Master, how can you let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Liu Gao smiled but said nothing.

Wen Huanzhang said: "Mr. Huang is wrong. The key is to win people over with virtue!
"Although there is no winner in this gambling fight, in my opinion, the leader has won!"

Huang Wenbing was about to say no, but he heard thousands of his minions shouting in unison:

"The sword Guan Sheng is mighty and domineering!
"The sword Guan Sheng is mighty and domineering!
"The sword Guan Sheng is mighty and domineering!"

"hiss--"

Huang Wenbing was confused.

It's not that he has a low IQ, it's a problem with his way of thinking, he didn't think about it in this way...

Only then did he react. Although Guan Sheng said it was a draw, from the situation just now, anyone who was not blind could see that Guan Sheng was suppressing Hu Yanzhuo!

In the end, Guan Sheng said it was a draw and let Hu Yanzhuo go!

Although Guan Sheng is far inferior to Guan Yu in martial arts, his demeanor already has the style of his ancestor!
It does seem like a draw, but in fact Guan Sheng has already won!

The minions wouldn't think so much and couldn't imagine so much. In their eyes, Guan Sheng with the big sword is mighty and domineering!

Hu Yanzhuo was also confused:

Isn't it a draw?
Why do I feel like I lost...
