Ryan's Sword

Chapter 13 No.12 Scene Anti-killing
"Damn it, where did it hide..."

Huck scolded impatiently.

On the other side of the shed, a scrawny woman hugged her son tightly, shrank in the corner, tremblingly looking at the uninvited guest who broke into their house with a murder weapon.

"What are you looking at!" Huck snorted angrily when he noticed the terrified gaze of the woman on him, "Believe it or not, I will..."

"So what? Just die for you to see?"

There was a joking voice next to his ear, and Huck suddenly widened his eyes.Only then did he realize that the eyes of the mother and son in the corner were not looking at him, but behind him!

The skin where the throat was located felt the cold touch of being pressed by the sharp blade. After a slight sting, Huck felt a scalding hot stream spray out from the stinging place, splashing the area as far as he could see. Shocking scarlet!When he wanted to yell, an exceptionally strong hand tightly covered his mouth and nose, and then, the long sword that cut his throat pierced through his armpit, precisely passed through his ribs, and finally A bloody blade protruded from his chest.

In Ian's field of vision, the two fatal wounds on the throat and chest drained Huck's health in an instant. Ian held his lifeless corpse in his hand, and then threw it out of the shed with a flick of his hand.

"After you're done, move to another house," Ian casually dropped two silver coins -- which he took out from Huck's body -- and earnestly instructed the mother and son who were huddled in the corner, "Now, hide away." Don't come out."

The mother who was holding her son nodded to Ian with gratitude in her eyes.

Outside the door, Huck's body fell on his back, staring at the sky that was gradually entering the night.

thump!
The muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground caused Bill Hansen, who was searching, to have a heartbeat, and turned suspiciously out of the shed he was searching.

As soon as he went out, he saw a familiar figure lying on his back in a pool of blood that was spreading and flowing.

"Huck!!"

Not far away, Pierre, who had been paying attention to the movement around him, suddenly heard a mournful howl.He frowned, and immediately jumped up onto the roof of the shed, stepping on the roof of the shed and rushing towards the direction of the sound.

The grief-stricken Bill had long forgotten what the samurai commander had said before. When he saw his brother's body, his first reaction was:

kill him!

With a sound of "clang", the long swords of the two clashed together, creating a striking spark in the night.

The sword that Bill stabbed forward was firmly blocked by Ian's sword standing in front of him. This sword could be said to be sent out with hatred, almost using all his strength.Even Ian, who blocked the sword, was surprised to find that the oppressive force of the opponent's onslaught seemed to be close to the power of the iron rank!
However, the way of fighting is always "seven points of attack, three points of defense. Especially in the low-level stage, unless there is a corresponding force technique to assist the attack, otherwise, exhaustion of strength is almost equivalent to a death sentence!

Bill, furious, never thought of such a problem.What's more, in his combat experience, he always bullied the weak unilaterally, how could anyone seize such an opportunity to give him a fatal counterattack?
Freeze?
At the moment when the long swords struck, Ian had already calculated what kind of follow-up attack an enemy with such power would launch. At the same time, he was also ready to seize the enemy's weak recovery and counterattack in an instant. However, rich battles helped Yi En En detected the other party's state in the blink of an eye, and his body almost subconsciously completed the reaction like muscle memory before the thought disappeared in his mind.

——Counterattack (D)!
Ian's wrist trembled undetectably, causing the long sword to send out a momentary shock that was extremely subtle.On the other hand, Bill felt a needle-like tingling pain along the sword body to his wrist. Immediately, his wrist went numb, and his right hand holding the sword involuntarily swung outwards. The sword was almost thrown out by the shock!
"how is this possible……"

"Why, it's impossible?"

Facing the enemy who was unable to move and his chest was wide open, Ian calmed down to gather strength, and then stabbed out with a sword, piercing through the opponent's undefended abdomen!
In the fighter's basic skill system, counterattack can be said to be the most difficult basic skill to fully master, not one of them.

A counterattack in the general sense is to use it within one second after a successful block, and perform a quick attack with the effect of "superior body", and when equipped with defensive off-hand weapons such as shields and gauntlets, the counterattack will increase income to come.The counterattack mentioned here can be seen almost everywhere in the combat process of fighters. The use and breaking of parry and counterattack is the most important thing in the courses arranged by the fighter instructor.

However, real PVP masters will always have some unconstrained ideas when fighting. After they have mastered the most basic counterattack, they will start to study the hidden effect of counterattack based on their own experience. A kind of extreme counterattack effect they named "bounce back".

Strictly speaking, bounce back is not specifically defined in Azure's rules.However, the top players of Weilan have proved its existence in tens of thousands of actual battles, and have gradually figured out the law of it.

The so-called rebound is to seize the weak point of the enemy's attack moment and counterattack.In other words, it is to complete the block and counterattack operations at the same time in a very delicate moment.This kind of extreme operation has a considerable gambling nature. On the one hand, when the rebound is successful, it can be interrupted, and even like Ian, the enemy's attack can be bounced and caused a huge amount of stiffness; The attacker itself causes a series of extremely punitive negative effects such as stiffness/knockback/stunning "determined by the difference in strength between the two sides".

In other words, a rebound error is at least equivalent to a failure to block.What's more serious is that while the opponent's attack is driving straight in, the counter-attacker is still in an undefended state under negative effect punishment!This dangerous situation is almost exactly the same as the "magic backlash" effect that occurs when the caster's spell fails or is countered.It is conceivable that if Ian made any mistakes in his counterattack just now, he might be the one who was hit in the vital part by a sword.

This is also the fundamental reason why in the battle after the silver rank, if it weren't for the huge gap in strength between the two sides, otherwise no one would dare to counter the enemy's attack.

You must know that as a sanctuary warrior, Ian has the talent that no one loses to anyone in the operation of skills.Bounce is an operation that is generally recognized in the circle of top players, and he also practiced countless times back then.He still remembers that he was equipped with a Lv1 gauntlet back then, and successfully deflected the "Molten Nuclear Explosion (A)" cast by an archmage "barehands" - the mechanism of deflecting is determined, as long as you grasp the At that unique timing, most of the spells with ballistics can be bounced successfully - the theoretical operation of flipping high-level spells set off a wave of hard-working bounce in the circle of top players at that time, and the entire The bounce-back process was also recorded as a teaching video and posted on the Azure Forum, and was certified by the official staff as the top, and was worshiped by the majority of players.

A series of previous life scenes flashed through his mind, and Ian vaguely heard a sound of fast running from the right, and then he recovered from the momentary trance.Immediately, he lifted his foot against the enemy's body, and using force with his hand, he yanked out the long sword that had penetrated the opponent's abdomen.

With a "plop", Bill fell to the ground with a scream. For a while, he covered the huge wound on his abdomen, and it was difficult for him to stand up again no matter how he struggled.

"damn it!"

Pierre, the warrior leader of the Dewey family who finally arrived, had his pupils constricted, staring fixedly at Ian, who was still bleeding from the long sword in his hand.

"Are you Black Wing?"

Pierre held the sword in two postures, and asked vigilantly.

"Well... If I say I'm not, can I leave now?"

"..."

Ian's frivolous answer stopped Pierre from hesitating. He let out a low drink, and with a breathtaking aura all over his body, he leaped up towards Ian, and then condescendingly slashed down with his sword!
"Collapse Mountain? No, it's the civilian version of 'Leap (E)'."

The leaping attack that boosted fighting spirit came fast and fierce. Facing this kind of jumping and slashing like a boulder covering and falling, Ian did not choose to roll or dodge in a hurry. At the moment when the attack was about to reach his body, he Taking a dangerous step back and jumping back, while holding the long sword with both hands, he used a standard posture to block the violent fighting spirit that overflowed as the opponent slashed and fell.

After completing this series of actions, Ian hardly stopped at all, and immediately exerted force on his feet, and thrust forward forcibly towards Pierre, who was leaping and chopping like a rainbow!

"!"

Pierre never expected that Ian would immediately choose a tit-for-tat counterattack in the face of his sudden attack!Unexpectedly, he had no choice but to withdraw his sword hastily to block back.However, when he successfully blocked Ian's venomous stabbing attack, and was about to fight back, he found that Ian's sword, which had clearly reached the end, followed an unscientific sliding step. Intermittently stab at his eyes again!
"Long stabbing! This guy..."

In desperation, Pierre could only choose to erupt his fighting spirit again, and an invisible wave of air erupted around him centered on him.The invisible and qualitative fighting spirit was like the shrapnel flying around from a burst grenade, forcing Ian to interrupt the offensive without hesitation, retreat quickly, and once again intercept the oncoming invisible edge with a blocking posture.

However, it is not easy for fighters who have just entered the iron rank to continuously burst into battle.In an instant, almost at the same time that Pierre felt a little bad, Ian, who was not far away, caught the moment of his return of breath, like a gangrene, and it was as if he had seen it at a glance. He made a more concise and swift low-jump chop and attacked again!

——Collapse Mountain (D)!
"Damn..."

Pierre didn't have time to curse, so he could only concentrate on raising his sword to defend in response to Ian's fierce attack with almost no gaps.He never thought that the situation deviated from the script he had written from the very beginning, and slipped step by step into the unknown abyss.
