Heart of the Castle

Chapter 261 The Masked Man's Gorgeous Sword Dance
The fighting spirit rising from the young knight fell into the eyes of the masked man, making him a little more interested.

He watched Li Wei get ready for the battle, and swung the short cane in his hand to the left and right, then slid forward gracefully, and the cane shook a row of phantoms, pointing towards Li Wei's forehead and shoulders .This time Li Wei has strengthened his attention, but the speed at which the cane moves is still unclear.

The knight's sword suddenly swung upwards in front of him, the silver-white sword light passed, and the phantoms of the cane disappeared one after another. It seemed that Li Wei's defense was impeccable.However, at the same time, the young knight's right shoulder suddenly sank, and he was hit hard again. The silver-white sacrificial vindictiveness suddenly rebounded, and there was a bang, but the cane had already left. Then, like lightning, it hit Li Wei's throat.

Li Wei stepped back suddenly, and the cane swept past his Adam's apple a little short of a line, which made him feel difficult to breathe.The masked man stepped forward with dancing steps, and the cane waved into a dreamlike black mist. Li Wei strode back while pushing left and right to defend himself. The knight's sword was struck by a series of dense It was like the sound of a shower, but it was still very difficult to resist.Within a few breaths, Li Wei's body moved, and his left arm and right knee were hit hard by the cane one after another.

The strength of the masked man's hand was stronger than one blow. When the cane hit his knee, Li Wei felt a pain in his heart. The young knight knew the consequences of this situation very well. He suddenly roared, regardless of the masked man's direction The cane stabbed at the right chest, and swung the knight sword to fight back brazenly.

A silver-white waterfall of light fell towards the top of the masked man's head. The counterattack of this sword was very fierce, but the masked man just snorted, and the cane still had time to tap Li Wei's chest on the right side, and then he walked gracefully. Turned, and slid out from under the sword light.

There was no sound on and off the field.Almost everyone was stunned by the masked man's swordsmanship. The battle between Li Wei and Leonard had already made them feel dazzled and amazed. Wei, but became a lot clumsy.

No, it's not that Li Wei is clumsy. The young knight's swordsmanship is still sharp and fierce, but compared with the masked man, it pales in comparison.The masked man steps gracefully like a dancer, every movement is graceful, and what he holds in his hand is just an extremely ordinary cane. Although it is supported by an aluminum skeleton, it is not as good as Li Wei's knight sword. , but it is not a decent weapon at all.

Li Wei's face was a little red, and a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.He felt that his pace and the speed of swinging the sword had reached the limit, but he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the masked man at all.The speed of the masked man's attack is very fast, but it is not that fast that cannot be resisted. Li Wei is sure that if he can grasp the rhythm of the masked man's attack and defense, he will be able to withstand his attack.

So far, Li Wei has not been hurt in a real sense, but the cane of the masked man has knocked out the little pride he had just after defeating the high-ranking knight.The cane whizzed and swept over, Li Wei lowered his head to dodge, then gritted his teeth and swung his sword again to fight back.

The counterattack this time was ineffective, but instead exposed a flaw to Li Wei. The masked man grasped the flaw keenly, turned around cleverly, and rushed to Li Wei's side, and the cane grazed Li Wei's forehead heavily.

Although this blow was not very heavy, it made the young knight dizzy for a while, and he staggered back. The heavier blow came from Li Wei's heart. Facing the terrifying swordsmanship of the masked man, which was as gorgeous as a dance, he immediately I felt a burst of despair.

"Oh, little guy, don't be fooled by his movements." Mr. Dish's old voice suddenly sounded, "You have to keep your eyes open and look carefully, but don't look at his wrists and weapons, because most of them are confusion. Man's movements; look at his toes and you'll see where he wants to go, look at his shoulder and you'll know what he's going to do."

This was the only sentence that Mr. Dish said after entering Dirk City. No matter how Levi called in his heart, the old magician did not respond.

However, this passage is enough.This is exactly the advice Li Wei needs. The next contest will not be a solo dance by the masked man. When he approaches again, the knight sword suddenly blocks down. It came back with success, and there was an inconspicuous sword mark on it.

The masked man snorted in surprise, and the eyebrows under the silver carved mask raised high, "Coincidence? Or..." He was thinking, but his subordinates did not hesitate at all, because the advantage was still on his side, and the cane whizzed again. The knight's sword came forward to meet him, this time the masked man played a trick, flipped his wrist, and the cane almost hit the tip of Li Wei's nose.

However, the next moment, the masked man paid a price for his daring adventure, and the knight sword in Li Wei's hand drew a circle almost at the same time, and the blade of the sword passed through the skirt of the masked man, cutting off a piece of black fabric.

Elder Nicholas, who was fully aware of the identity of the masked man, suddenly took a breath, and looked at the corner of his clothes that fell to the ground in disbelief.This is a famous sword dancer, a majestic sword-wielding earl, to be cut off by such a young man, if it is said, it will cause a sensation!
The surprise of the masked man was not less than that of Elder Nicholas, but he did not have extra time to experience this surprise. Li Wei had already used this sword to fight back, offsetting the disadvantage of being suppressed by the masked man. Now the young knight's swordsmanship It became more fierce and changeable, rolling towards the masked man like a storm of blades.

If it were any of the high-level knight examiners present, they would look very embarrassed in the face of Li Wei's onslaught.But the masked man is not comparable to Leonard and his ilk. After he cheered up, he swung his cane more quickly and powerfully, and his footsteps also spun dazzlingly, and started to attack Li Wei.

There was a fierce confrontation between the knight's sword and the cane, the blade was whistling, the cane was whining, and the clanging of each other was non-stop.The cane of the masked man is not as weak as its appearance, and its toughness is even stronger than the alloy long sword carefully forged by a dwarf blacksmith. However, it is still gradually broken under Li Wei's sword, and there are little blue lights under the flying fragments.

After receiving Mr. Dish's guidance, Li Wei finally discovered the mystery of the masked man's swordsmanship, and made the competition evenly matched. However, in the next moment, a chill came to the heart of the young knight.

It seems that they are indeed evenly matched, but Li Wei has already exerted his fighting spirit to the limit, but the masked man didn't seem to use fighting spirit at all, just relying on his swordsmanship and pace, he suppressed Li Wei like this!
This is definitely not something a high-ranking knight can do.

Li Wei thought of the quasi-high-ranking knight known as the Wind Dancer in the Viscount Land, who was also the instructor of swordsmanship, Gao Lei Joy. It's just as clumsy as a child's gesticulation.There are definitely not many people who can do this. Could this person be...

It is definitely a very wrong thing to be distracted during the battle. When Li Wei was thinking, his eyes were slightly confused. The masked man immediately realized this, and suddenly jumped forward. The cane will take this opportunity to strike again. to Levi's head.

At this moment, a thunderous roar came from outside the arena.

"Sword dancer! If you think it's fun to tease a young man, let me, Wilps, be your opponent!"

With this sound, the gate of the arena was slammed open by a body. The person who was thrown in like a small stone was an examiner wearing a gray cloak. The pale face of the sub-knight came.

Immediately after, Wilps strode in, with the long sword already in his hand, and a layer of crystal-clear red light glowed all over his body, as if wearing a set of fighting spirit armor on his body.

"Duqi Tianhua? A titled knight or a nobleman with a sword?" The masked man said in surprise, and then he retracted the cane that almost hit Li Wei's head, and blocked Li Wei's counterattack by the way, and then stepped back Take a few steps.

Wilpus walked up to Li Wei and stood side by side with the young knight. The grand knight commander had a stern expression that Li Wei had never seen before, which surprised Li Wei secretly.

"Master Li Wei, listen carefully now." Wilps suddenly said in a very small voice, his lips twitched, and he didn't even look at Li Wei from the beginning to the end. "If that masked man makes a move in a while, I'll block him, and you'll go out on a black horse immediately!"

"Wilps, why do you say that?" Levi was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice.

"If this person wants to attack us, we are no match at all." The Grand Knight Commander said coldly, "Because he is the city lord here, the sheriff of the northern border county, Ricardo, one of the nine pillars of the kingdom? Your Excellency the Earl of Ansair!"

Wilps's words were a little louder, so that the masked man on the opposite side could hear them very clearly, so he shook his head and smiled wryly, and took off the carved mask that covered his face.

"Since you have already found out, then I don't need to keep concealing it. Yes, I am the Earl of Ansair, the lord of the city here." After taking off the mask, what was revealed was the handsome face of Earl Ansair. The blush after the fierce battle still remained. "But you don't need to be so vigilant. I have no malice. The competition just now was also because I admire Li Wei Ston, who has superb swordsmanship, and I want to try his true strength."

Although he heard Earl Ansair say this, Wilps did not let down his vigilance. He lowered the sword in his hand, expressing that he had no intention of becoming an enemy of the Earl, and frowned and said, "It's just out of appreciation." Your Excellency Earl, then you are a little too..." Wilps paused, trying to find a more moderate word to express his meaning, but in the end he gave up the idea of ​​going around in circles.

"Your Excellency, your time is so precious, you won't suddenly decide to fight a young master of swordsmanship just because you saw him?"

"It's so easy to talk to smart people." Earl Ansair sighed, and then he took out a small golden double sword badge from his arms, and showed it to Levi and Wilps in his palm.

"This is the qualification of the Great Knight Commander. I think a young man who can fight me for so long should be entitled to it." Earl Ansair said, "Besides, I would like to ask you one more thing ……Ok?"

The sound of hooves suddenly interrupted Earl Ansair's words, followed by the excited and angry voices of the examiners of the Knights Association.

"Examiner Sharp, what are you doing!"

"Stop him! Ah..."

The screams quickly replaced the roars, and Earl Ansair suddenly turned around, just in time to see the dark-skinned desert knight galloping between the two red-cloaked examiners who were slowly slipping off their horses, with two bent arms. The knife glistened with hideous blood in his hand!
