I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

"Observe, infer, use your own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses at the moment of confrontation, master the rhythm that is most beneficial to the battle, and let your breathing and the weapon you wield be integrated."

Cheng Rang took out his original intention and waved it to set an example for Maki.

"Dodging

Always think about the enemy's next attack route, how you would kill yourself if you were him, and then decide whether to fight back or continue to dodge. "

"You need to take a long-term view in battle. You need to see not only the attack in front of you, but also everything that will follow."

"Shoulders, knees, neck, wrists, head. Injuries to these parts will affect the flexibility and agility of the body. A moment of hesitation and pause in the confrontation will bring about a one-sided result. After that, the end of the battle is only one or two strokes away. internal affairs."

Maki listened very carefully, carefully watching every movement of Cheng Rang.

"Testing, and then killing with one blow. The so-called battle, everything before the decisive blow is a trial. A truly top-notch confrontation will only determine the outcome within one move."

"—This is a deathmatch."

When the blade goes to the bone, you have to fight, and if you fight against the water, you will die.

"Experience with your own body and mind, and then dance in the center of the storm of death...."

Cheng Rang stopped the demonstration, took a few steps back and put the knife into its sheath.

Veneno's figure reappeared in the middle of the intersection, looking up at Maki.

Cheng Rang said sternly: "Look farther away and see more things clearly—come again!"

Maki pointed her eyes straight at her opponent, and shouted loudly:

"Yes, Master!"

Chapter 114 Fighting for supremacy

The horn of battle sounded again.

Facing the oncoming sword wind, Maki dodged slightly, because she had seen the opponent's opening blow clearly in advance, so Maki was already approaching Veneno.

The next move is... a horizontal cut!

Maki jumped up, facing the space-severing sword wind passing by inches below her, leaping over it like a dexterous dancer.

"The speed of comprehension is really fast... The first-stage attack can no longer interfere with her at all." Cheng Rang narrowed his eyes and silently evaluated the current battle situation.

After two attacks, Maki has come to Veneno again, and now the attack ranges of the two have overlapped!

After seeing it clearly, the longer term——

Maki took advantage of the momentum of turning over in mid-air just now and slashed down, while keeping her eyes on Veneno's feet.

Move, or attack? !

At that moment Maki saw the center of gravity of Vignano's feet move backwards.

Attack after dodging!

Swish!

Veneno took a step back, and at that moment the Dimensional Sword sliced ​​behind him, Maki was startled.

Cut to the back?

[The dimensional knife in his hand does not rely on the sharpness of the blade itself to kill, but can mobilize the dimensional force to cut off all targets absolutely by means of space cutting]

Wait... Dimensional power means——!

As if the canvas was torn apart, the space behind Vignano was cut into a dark and dull hole, and his figure disappeared from Maki's vision.

Cold sweat rolled down the girl's forehead, and the corners of her mouth twitched in disbelief.

Master—he's cheating!

[Dimensional Sword Art·Death Rondo]

With a blow through the space, Veneno's disappearing figure directly cut through the space behind Maki and appeared, turning like a whirlwind, and the fierce offensive instantly tore her body apart.

"Hi~ The battle is over again~" Cheng Rang clapped his hands and looked at Maki who reappeared in front of him with a displeased face.This time the battle between the two lasted less than five seconds, and Maki was obviously shattered by the sudden and incomprehensible attack.

"What are you doing! How can I beat this kind of enemy that can teleport through space?!"

Cheng Rang quickly comforted the angry Maki, motioned her not to get too excited, and then said with a smile: "Well, so this is a strong enemy for you."

"Isn't it too strong!?"

"They only used one trick..."

"Ah~ In other words, this Dimensional Phantom Thief didn't use all his strength at all. I'm super weak. That's what I mean. Do you need to emphasize it, Master Stupid!"

Maki jumped.

"Hey, alright, alright, don't worry, practicing sword is most afraid of mental problems, let me show you."

Maki pouted, crossed her arms and stepped back.

Veneno's figure reappeared, and Cheng Rang drew his sword.

"I won't use the power of the sword and the ultimate intent of the sword, I will only use skills, and I will limit the speed within your limit, that is to say—this time I will use my strength to the same level as yours .”

Maki was slightly startled and muttered: "In other words, just use experience and skills..."

"Bingo~ That's right!" Cheng Rang smiled, then straightened his expression, looked at Veneno, and walked to stand about ten meters away from him.

"See clearly, I only kill him once."

As Cheng Rang put his whole heart into it, Maki couldn't help staring at his movements with that natural temperament, and subconsciously held her breath.

Master, he ... limits his own strength, that is to say, there is no difference between Master and me in this battle except for skill and experience.

Will it win?

— will win.

Before the battle started, Maki suddenly had this premonition, which was so clear that she never even doubted it.

But...why?

Maki couldn't figure it out, so she focused even more fully on this death fight.

There's only one demo...a battle that could end in the blink of an eye, so be sure to watch it clearly!

"The battle begins."

Cheng Rang finished speaking.

In an instant, Veneno slashed with his sword.

Opening exactly the same as Maki, Cheng Rang lowered his figure and charged at her instantly.

Dodged the first vertical sword energy.

Maki thought that Cheng Rang would continue to approach, but something she didn't expect happened.

Whoosh-!

"scabbard?!"

Maki couldn't help but exclaimed, seeing Cheng Rang pull out the scabbard at his waist and throw it at Veneno.

The accuracy and strength of this shot were extremely high, and the target pointed directly at Venigno's wrist holding the knife. At the same time, Cheng Rang turned around and dragged the knife to slash, breaking through the ground and kicking up the gravel, like a shotgun shot at Venigno.

His sprinting speed was strictly limited to the same speed as Maki himself, so after dodging the first slash, the distance between the two of them was only four or five meters!

The oncoming gravel and scabbard had an extremely short-lived impact on Veneno, maybe only [-] seconds.

The scabbard was dodged slightly by Venigno, and then slashed towards Cheng Rang, ignoring the gravel.

But it was this [-] second of moving and dodging that made Cheng Rang completely seize the opportunity of this sword!

Huh-clang! !

Standing in front of him, Cheng Rang swung his knife horizontally the moment his center of gravity shifted back, and the moment he avoided the deadly blade by a tiny bit, his original heart was already slashed on the Wuming in Venero's hand.

The blade slashed against the back of the blade—the crackling sound was deafening, which made Maki's heart tremble violently.

Smashing knives, cutting throats!

Turning around and slashing in one go, waving the sickle called death gracefully and swiftly.A silver full moon rolled up Vignano's head in the air.

It's all over.

poof....

Venigno, who had lost his head, dropped the knife with a clang in his hand, and his body slowly knelt down in front of Cheng Rang, turning into a dissipating stream of light.

Maki saw it, and Veneno had no chance to back off.

The master's cutting angle was too tricky. The moment Veneno avoided the scabbard and was about to attack, he had already lost.

The center of gravity, which had been adjusted for dodging, no longer supported him being able to retract the knife and move back through the space, because the master's attack was already close at hand.

Veneno also believes that the weapon in his hand can cut everything——

So if it's a confrontation, Venigno knows that he definitely has the advantage.

But Cheng Rang's goal in the beginning was not Veneno himself, but the knife in his hand!

At the moment when Wu Ming was crushed, even if Venigno avoided Cheng Rang's last full moon cut and saved his life, his sharpest fangs had already been broken, and at the same time he lost all space movement and attack abilities. , can also be to prolong the time of his own defeat.

This is a fight to the death.

I wish I was stunned.

That is the game of the strong between the certainty and the slightest.

Only one move can end life and death.

"So what the hell is that stupid routine of throwing scabbards and throwing sand in the eyes!!" Maki suddenly rolled up her eyes and pointed at Cheng Rang, just complaining.

"Hey, it's called omnipotent. The scabbard, no one stipulates that it can only be used to hold the knife?" Cheng Rang shrugged innocently, took a few steps to pick up the scabbard, and patted the scabbard. The ash on it was inserted back into the waist.

"So in this kind of battle where hesitation leads to defeat, only the winner gets everything. No one cares how you win, they only care who is still alive."

"Because history...is written by the victors who survive."

"—If you die, you have nothing."

Cheng Rang waved his hand and a sun lounger appeared. He walked up comfortably and waved his hand: "Do you understand? If you understand, then continue to fight. If you win him, we can go back."

Putting on the sunglasses, Cheng Rang stretched comfortably, snapped his fingers, and Vignano reappeared, looking at Maki.

"Really... what and what...!" Maki muttered dissatisfiedly, and came to Veneno, raising her weapon.

"Anyway, just kill this guy, right?"

Maki raised the corners of her mouth a little wantonly.

"I'll kill it for you...!"

Chapter 115 The Right Called “Relinquishment”

Most of the combat tricks are not created for good-looking and ornamental.

The only purpose of those techniques is to "kill".

"The sword is a murder weapon, and fencing is the art of killing."

"We can't use fancy rhetoric to cover up the bloody nature, because it is the truth anyway."

Fighting between magicians and magicians, fighting between magicians and curse spirits, fighting between magicians and cursers.

Except for competitions like exchange meetings, most of the time, you have to fight with the determination to destroy your opponent.

If you don't win, you die.

[There is no death that a conjurer does not regret. 】

But at least you won't, and shouldn't, regret killing the enemy in front of you.

The piercing sword wind split the ground, letting Zi Cheng roar past him, throwing up gravel.

But Cheng Rang was unmoved, just silently watching the figure who was fighting with Veneno.

"Don't lose... Maki."

Slashing with a knife, he forced Vignano back, but the attack couldn't touch any hem of his clothes.
