Chapter 30 The Dragon and the Tiger

At three o'clock, the moon is bright and the stars are thin.

Du Chengfeng, who got up from the bed, always felt that his recent schedule was a bit delicate, and this kind of nocturnal lifestyle seemed unhealthy—but he always felt that it was better to do work like sharpening knives at night, especially in the moonlight. When it is brighter, sitting in the yard and sharpening the knife quietly will give you a better feeling, and it will be easier for him to immerse himself in it.

It was at this time when he was at his best that Du Chengfeng once again took out the long knife named Broken Horse.

With the long sword in hand, Du Chengfeng first practiced the sword technique in his memory called "Dragon and Tiger Two Positions".

Although Liu Qingyun, the original owner of this long sword, gave the name of the sword technique quite awe-inspiring, the underlying reason is not too complicated - the so-called dragon and tiger refer to the posture of the spine, and the tiger is the posture of the spine. During the bunching and stretching period, the entire torso will be like a spring, fully converting the weight of the feet on the ground into the power of swinging the sword forward.

Although the root theory is simple, the actual application of the two powers of the dragon and the tiger is not just that. Although Liu Qingyun himself is best at drawing the sword very quickly, when Du Chengfeng sharpened the sword, he also realized that, Liu Qingyun used Shu Zhan's method to practice other saber techniques.

Take Tiger Leap, for example, which is a way to quickly pounce on the enemy. For those who have achieved great mastery, only one ups and downs is required for a distance of five steps.Or the Flying Dragon Knife, this swinging knife is a means to extend the slashing distance. After successful practice, you can even slash a foot longer than your opponent.

However, there are also some Shu Zhan's applied moves, but Liu Qingyun can't use them himself.

"...Dragon-shaped big slash?"

Recalling the sword technique in his mind and looking at the horse-breaking sword in his hand, Du Chengfeng quickly understood the reason.

The sword technique called Dragon Shape Great Slash is a slash in which all the strength is poured into the blade. The spine is stretched out like a soaring dragon, and the two hands slash down like a tiger descending from the mountain. It can be said that this dragon-tiger The pinnacle sword of the two potentials was also the most powerful slash in Liu Qingyun's imagination - but this was the most domineering sword extended from the principle of Shu Zhan, but Liu Qingyun himself was unable to use it.

The root cause is that this broken horse cannot withstand such a move.

The too long blade gave the broken horse a great slashing distance, but the too long blade also doomed the front edge of the knife to be likely to shatter on the spot when the knife was slashing vigorously.Liu Qingyun once used a five-foot wooden sword that was similar to the length of a broken horse to try this move. All the wooden swords broke without exception.

There were only two options left in front of Liu Qingyun, either to change the knife to a relatively shorter but stronger one, or to give up and continue to study other techniques.

After much deliberation, Liu Qingyun, who weighed the pros and cons, finally chose to give up.

The attack distance advantage brought by the five-foot long knife is really too great. After solving the problem of the speed of drawing the knife, this advantage in attack distance can allow Liu Qingyun to achieve absolute crushing in most battles. pressure.

Therefore, even though he had seen a farther path, Liu Qingyun finally chose to find another way.

And this choice, in a sense, also doomed Liu Qingyun's defeat in that duel.

"Hey……"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

In his opinion, Liu Qingyun was able to get from a poor swordsman with only consistent money all the way to such a big name. He has no shortage of abilities and skills, but only this problem of being hesitant and hesitant, But it continued.

Indeed, in ordinary times, this may be regarded as a plan before acting, a mature and prudent attitude, but at the moment of life and death, if there is no way to make a judgment in a blink of an eye, the end will only be blood stained loess, Tears spilled into the sky.

And this is also the biggest gap between Liu Qingyun and the swordsman Cui Yuan.

Although the swordsman Cui Yuan was somewhat mentally ill, he used his extremely strong perseverance to suppress the Chengfeng Sword in his hand, which had killed more than two hundred people. That is, when a life and death duel was needed, he would do it for Stay in top shape and come out here and sharpen your knives.

But Liu Qingyun was different.

Liu Qingyun, who was used to looking forward and backward, couldn't suppress the evil spirit of the broken horse at all, so he could only do the same as ordinary swordsmen, frequently paying a lot of money to find a grinder to help him sharpen the knife.

And this is another reason why Du Chengfeng took out the knife.

"interesting……"

Looking at the brand new Broken Horse Sword in his hand, Du Chengfeng narrowed his eyes.

When sharpening the knife during the day, in the process of comprehending the long knife, he did feel everything that the knife experienced, but the process of killing, the pictures of those lives being taken away, always seemed a bit blurred—like It was the smudged ink dye in the ink painting. He could feel that there was something, or some other way, that faded away those horrible sides.

Even, not only the terrifying side.

Logically speaking, when feeling the experience of this knife, he should also feel the process of sharpening the knife at that time, but the only thing that interests Du Chengfeng the most is blank, it seems that he never Never happened.

"You can't talk about this knife, it has amnesia, right?"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Can a knife lose memory?This sounds somewhat unlikely, after all, he had already tried it before going to bed during the day, and even if the sharpened weapons in his hands were polished again, he would still be able to see the memories attached to the weapons.

In other words, at least his own sharpening of the knife will definitely not make the weapon lose its memory.

"In other words, it's not the problem of sharpening the knife itself."

Du Chengfeng made a quick judgment.

Well, since the process of sharpening the knife itself is no problem, the only difference between the two sides is the difference in technique.

It was obvious that the method used by the polisher Liu Qingyun was looking for was completely different from that of Du Chengfeng himself, which directly resulted in the weapons polished by both sides showing completely different conditions.

"How the hell is this done?"

Du Chengfeng became more and more puzzled.

So he put the broken horse under the moonlight.

Indeed, for the memory of being ground, the broken horse did lose its memory, but every time it is ground, it will eventually leave marks on the knife.

Now, what Du Chengfeng has to do is to reversely feel the technique used by the grinder through the grinding marks left on this long knife.

This feeling is extremely subtle, even insignificant, and can only be pondered in this silent midnight.

While stroking the blade with his palm, a vague image appeared in Du Chengfeng's mind.

It was a bowl of ink and an inkstone.
