Zongman: Beginning with the Blade of Demon Slayer/A Zongman Beginning with the Blade of Demon Slayer

"...It's too dangerous. Let's wait until you unify Britain and gather all your forces before killing the evil dragon, Knight Kai."

Gao Wen admonishes Fang Shuo again, which makes Fang Shuo even more impatient, and regrets bringing this stupid knight with him.

Gao Wen, who found that his advice was ineffective, struggled for a while, and finally came to a magical conclusion: "I see, do you think that if Vortigern exists for a day, more people will suffer? If you have to kill Vortigern first, then I will not back down, and I am willing to complete the great cause of slaying the dragon with you."

"Vortigerm is still moving around now? Do you know where Vortigerm is now?"

Fang Shuo couldn't help asking after hearing Gao Wen's more important information.

"Yes! The evil dragon Vortigern occasionally haunts the northern part of Britain, attacking cities everywhere..."

In the north of Britain, this kind of vague wording is the same as saying nothing, but there is a general direction for the time being.

As the night darkened, the three of them slept in the wild. After eating wild monster meat, Artoria couldn't help asking Kai for advice on swordsmanship.

"Brother Kai, please give me some pointers. After fighting during the day, I feel that I still have a lot of shortcomings!"

Fang Shuo could see the flames of fighting spirit in Artoria's eyes, as if he had been stimulated a lot by losing the battle with the giant during the day, so he didn't refuse.

"Well then, let me see how much you've learned."

After hearing the sound of weapons colliding next to the campfire, Gawain couldn't help pricking up his ears.Originally, Knight Kay was not supposed to watch him instructing him on swordsmanship, but he was very curious about the strength of the knight who drew the holy sword, and couldn't help but want to observe it.

Since Kay didn't object aloud, he took it as Kay's acquiescence.

In the end, Gao Wen saw a scene that surprised him - Arturia slashed at Kai with a swift and fierce attack, each sword contained exaggerated magic power infused into it, and the speed was comparable to that of an arrow shot.

Accurate, fast, and not lacking in strength.He originally thought that Arturia was just an ordinary trainee knight, but it didn't seem to be the case.If it was him himself, it would take a lot of effort to fumble around in order to receive such a slash like a storm.

He even suspected that Artoria was the one who pulled out the holy sword. For some reason, he suddenly recalled the scene of this apprentice knight holding the holy sword.

Then, however, he dismissed the idea.

Faced with such a swift offensive, Kai seemed completely unmoved,

He just stabbed out a few swords weakly, but wherever his eyes went, there must be the flaws in Artoria's swordsmanship.

No matter how fast Artoria's sword is, it cannot break through and pose any threat to Kai.Even when the two sides hardly met each other, Kai's sword could be accurately pointed at Artoria's wrist and elbow every time, forcing her to withdraw her sword.

In the end, Artoria stopped drawing her sword—she knew that she would have been killed hundreds of times in actual combat.

"I'm sorry, Kai...I..."

Arturia sighed and put the sword back into the scabbard.I thought I had made enough progress to get closer to Brother Kai, but I didn't expect that the distance still showed no signs of shortening.

"You have made great progress, Arturia, think about what I taught you."

Fang Shuo looked at Arturia, knowing that the other party might not think about it for a while, and might still need a victory, but he didn't say much.

After watching the duel, Gawain immediately ran over and made a request to Kai: "Please teach me my sword skills, Knight Kai!"

Chapter 210 Seven. Defeat

At this moment, the night was dark, and even the moonlight was covered by dark clouds. There was a large area of ​​darkness in the woods. If it wasn't for a little light from the fire, it would be difficult for human beings to see each other's faces clearly.

Logically speaking, this is not a good time to challenge Gao Wen, who is "invincible in Japan and China".

After being blessed with the "Number of Saints" after birth, Gawain can display three times his strength in the afternoon, and almost no knight can compete with him.

However, this does not mean that Gao Wen will be easy to deal with after losing his protection. Guys who have such naive illusions have long been defeated by Gao Wen.

"Please, Knight Kai!"

Gao Wen stared at Fang Shuo, even though he was shocked by Fang Shuo's swordsmanship when he saw Fang Shuo pointing to Artoria just now, he couldn't think of how to deal with it.But when he held the long sword and actually faced Fang Shuo, his mood relaxed.

"Sir Gawain, is it just an ordinary longsword you are holding?"

"?"

Before the battle, Fang Shuo suddenly asked a question for no reason, which made Gawain answer at a loss: "Uh, um, yes. I only have this sword in my hand, but even so, it is a very reliable weapon .”

Gao Wen's saber should be the sister sword of the sworn victory sword, the revolving victory sword, it is definitely an excellent treasure.But this sword hasn't been born yet, otherwise, a new treasure Phantasm destruction achievement would be completed, Fang Shuo thought with a bit of a naughty taste.

Gao Wen, who had no idea what the other party was up to, clenched the long sword tightly in his hand, with strict rules and a heroic look.Arturia, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but marvel: "It's amazing... Knight Gawain, no wonder he can easily defeat so many knights during the day."

From Artoria's point of view, although Gawain only put on a stance, his whole body seemed to be watertight, no matter how he attacked, he might be bounced away by Gawain.

If he wanted to attack such a Gao Wen by himself, he could only rely on the magical power brought by the Dragon Heart to strengthen his slash and try to break through head-on.But looking at Gao Wen's burly physique like a gorilla, she may not be able to win the wrestling.

In contrast, Kai just stood there casually holding the sword, as if his whole body was full of flaws, and even made people wonder if he had held the sword firmly.

"Knight Kai, aren't you going to attack? Then I won't be polite."

After confronting each other for a while, Gao Wen couldn't bear it any longer, seeing that Fang Shuo still didn't answer, he suddenly drew his sword!

This is a wide open and close straight slash, with both hands raised above the head, the long sword is swung down directly, and it slashes towards Kai's Tianling Gai.

It was a very simple move, and the whole process was not messy at all, but Gao Wen was sure that Kai should not be able to defuse this blow with the sword technique he used against Artoria just now.

The reason lies in the grasp of the distance - when Arturia raises the two swords above her head and chops down, her wrists will be easily exposed.As a result, it only took Kai to lift the blade up slightly to completely seal Artoria's sword path.

But what about Gao Wen now?Not according to common sense, the sword was raised when there was still a certain distance between the two sides, and it was still at a sideways angle.If Kai took the opportunity to attack, Gawain could also block with his horizontal sword without delay.

"Beautiful! Take the defense while attacking... Sir Gawain has much more combat experience than me."

Seeing this scene, Artoria couldn't help but admire.

With a "bang", the sound of metal colliding sounded.

Gao Wen watched helplessly as his sword whirled in the air like a frisbee and flew out, and then stuck in the tree trunk, his face became dull, and he hadn't recovered from it.

"Just, what happened just now? Magic?"

He didn't know what was going on, how could his weapon be thrown out in just one round.It feels more like magic than swordplay.

Artoria's eyes widened. She could tell that Brother Kai was using a certain kind of swordsmanship that he had taught her before. It seemed to be different from the swordsmanship that focused on flaws during the sparring just now, but it could It is easy to deflect the direction of the opponent's force.

However, even if she knew the general principle, she still couldn't understand how Fang Shuo threw Gao Wen's long sword with one move just now.

"Let's do it again."

Regarding this, Fang Shuo just spoke calmly.

Gao Wen looked at Fang Shuo suspiciously, and finally pulled out the long sword he threw out from the tree honestly.

"I'm sorry, please advise again."

Gao Wen confronted Fang Shuo again, and this time he had a new feeling.

Even though it was the middle of the night when the cold wind was blowing, Gao Wen couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead. The pressure that Fang Shuo brought to him was unprecedented.

He didn't want to draw a sword—it was the first time he had such an idea, although he was quickly suppressed.After the pressure accumulated to the limit, Gao Wen finally couldn't bear to draw his sword.

This is a "straight stab", a straight stab, pure can not be more pure.But what about the power of Gawain's full thrust of the sword?I'm afraid it can easily penetrate the rock.

There was a "bang", and the sound of metal colliding sounded again.

Gao Wen's eyes widened, it was hard to imagine Fang Shuo's posture to block his sword.

He actually... let the tips of the two swords collide with each other?

Although he has long been prepared to withdraw his strength, if he does this on the battlefield, it will only be a stupid way to die with the opponent.

But Fang Shuo did it, making his own sword point and Gao Wen's point collide with each other exactly.The tips of the two pinhole-thick sword blades were like keys inserted into the lock, and they stuck tightly together, perfectly counteracting Gawain's offensive.

Withdraw the sword and return to defense, or press harder?The latter is too dangerous, almost like walking a tightrope.Many countermeasures flashed through Gao Wen's mind, but Fang Shuo's methods suddenly flickered.

With a "buzz", the long sword in Fang Shuo's hand was like a silver dragon coming to life, and he shook Gao Wen's long sword away violently, making Gao Wen's long sword involuntarily deflected outward.

"Oh no--"

Gao Wen hurriedly tried to regain his posture by relying on his powerful arms, but Fang Shuo's long sword roared and roared, piercing Fang Shuo's throat.

For a moment, the scene of him being pierced to death flashed through Gao Wen's mind.

However, Fang Shuo's sword finally stopped only an inch away from Gao Wen's neck, and stopped firmly.

"call..."

After a long time, Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and said in admiration, "Knight Kai's swordsmanship, let me bow down."

He was about to withdraw his sword, but Fang Shuo asked curiously: "Why don't you fight anymore? I haven't given you proper instructions yet, keep going! You're doing well."

Chapter 210 Eight. Fate

"This... Knight Kai..."

Gao Wen's face became troubled. He was easily defeated by Kai twice in a row just now, which made him unable to raise his confidence to compete with Kai again.

But since Kai offered to give advice, he was too embarrassed to refuse.

For such a noble person as Cavalier Kai, if he wanted to give advice to himself, he certainly didn't want to beat himself up for fun, right?

"What's the matter, Sir Gawain, have you run out of strength?"

Fang Shuo looked at Gao Wen's troubled look with a half-smile, but the other party finally said in a desperate tone: "I understand! Please continue to enlighten Knight Kai."

The sparring between the two sides lasted for an hour and a half, and finally ended with Gao Wen exhausted.Tired and out of breath, Gawain leaned against the tree, exhausted both physically and mentally like never before.

He has never experienced such a fight...in an hour and a half, he and Fang Shuo actually fought less than 10 rounds...I'm afraid there was not even a minute of fighting time.

Most of the time, the two parties were testing each other and looking for each other's flaws—to be precise, Gao Wen was looking for possible flaws in Fang Shuo, and Fang Shuo was relaxed and freehand from the beginning to the end. look.

No matter how Gao Wen used his sword, he couldn't avoid the ending that Fang Shuo would definitely defeat him within three moves.Sometimes it was Fang Shuo who pre-empted the attack as if he knew his sword move in advance, and sometimes it was Fang Shuo who was behind him and easily defuse his sword move and let his weapon come out.

The only time that someone other than Gao Wen found Fang Shuo's flaw by himself, but it turned out that Fang Shuo leaked it.At the moment of the attack, Fang Shuo suddenly turned the sword upside down and hit Gao Wen hard on his chest with the hilt, and he still felt a little pain.

"Sir Gawain, your sword is too easy to see and break. It is bright and upright, without any haze, but it is too dull. I hope you can think about it."

"Yes... very ashamed..."

Gao Wen lowered his head, thinking about Fang Shuo's guidance.

For Fang Shuo, this was just a pastime after dinner, and he didn't really intend to seriously teach Gao Wen any sword skills.But he knew that even so, Gao Wen would definitely benefit immensely from tonight's training.

Arturia on the other side had also fallen into a deep sleep, and just covered herself with the quilt she carried with her before lying down.Gao Wen tactfully took off his armor and went a little further away, letting Kai and his sister sleep together.

The next morning, the three of them continued to head towards the northern part of Britain, looking for clues about the white dragon Vortigern.However, there are large sections of woodland and plains on the road. The rations brought by the few people before departure will soon be almost used up, so they plan to buy some game in the forest.

"Please entrust me with the hunting task! I will fulfill my mission, Knight Kai, Knight Artoria..."

Gao Wen volunteered to undertake the hunting task, judging from his earnest expression, it seemed that he was not hunting but slaying dragons.Naturally, Fang Shuo had no objection, after all he believed that Gao Wen would be able to handle such chores well.

As a result, at noon, heavy footsteps sounded in the forest. Artoria looked over and saw Gawain walking over carrying a huge wild boar carcass two or three times bigger than himself, with a smear on his face. With a bright smile on his face, his impression of Gao Wen suddenly changed.

"What a big wild boar... I'm afraid it's a monster! Such a huge weight, it should be able to eat for many days."

Gawain looked at the wild boar's carcass with some pity: "If it is handed over to a professional chef and spices are added, it may be able to make very delicious dishes. Now we can only grill it."

"You are wrong, Sir Gawain, you can make delicious food with a barbecue..."

Fang Shuo looked at the corpse of the devil pig and smiled, but his words made Gawain a little unbelievable: "Do you still know how to barbecue? Knight Kai, but now we don't carry spices with us, so we can't do it well no matter what. food."

There is no need to say much about the enthusiasm of Europeans for spices. Anyone who has a little understanding of the Age of Discovery knows that spices have always played an important role in maritime trade.For a long time, European aristocrats wanted to make meat delicious only by adding a lot of jokes, otherwise they would feel sick to their stomachs after eating some greasy barbecue, and the Celts were no exception.

However, although Fang Shuo didn't have any spices at hand, his cooking knowledge was much better than the Celts of this era. In terms of cutting meat alone, he was far better than Kyle, who only randomly chopped and put them on the table. The special chef is brilliant.

Gao Wen watched in astonishment as Fang Shuo cut open the meat of the demon pig with his saber, as if he was dismantling some parts. untie.

He couldn't help shivering. If this kind of sword technique was used to kill people, wouldn't it be possible to divide the human body into more than ten parts in an instant?

Soon Fang Shuo processed the meat of the devil pig, picked out some fatty parts, and started to cook the devil pork with a temporary barbecue grill. During the process, he also collected some common wild fruits. Class helps to relieve greasy taste.

When Fang Shuo finished roasting the first finished product, Gao Wen was surprised to see that Arturia's eyes had turned into star eyes, as if there was nothing else in his eyes except this roasted wild pork.

Watching Artoria wipe out this much larger wild boar like a storm, Gawain felt that it was necessary for him to get to know this steady and quiet trainee knight who had realized in the past two days.

"Brother Kai...Will Britain perish?"

After the sumptuous lunch, Artoria asked Fang Shuo abruptly.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Because, I saw Sir Gawain...he said he came after you, Brother Kai...but Brother Kai, you broke the holy sword, which means that there is no real king of destiny in Britain right now?"

A haze flashed between Arturia's brows. If it wasn't for the delicious meal just now, she might be even more depressed: "Now I heard that the crops everywhere have reduced production, so those originally noble knights are here. It will become more and more depraved, and even become a robber..."

Observing very carefully... Fang Shuo couldn't help but nodded. Artoria was able to capture and connect these details, which is really an excellent insight.

However, the answer to this question is very cruel.Fang Shuo was silent for a rare moment, thinking about his words before speaking to Artoria.

"About the fate of Britain..."
