Chapter 12 (1/2)

Ito first boarded the boxing ring, while Wei Ran went to the instrument room and took out the long handled axe.

He measured the axe. It should be 1.3 meters long, slightly longer than the other party's samurai sword. If he added his arm length, the overall attack range would exceed the samurai sword.

The edge of the axe is polished very smoothly. The wood surface of the axe handle is brushed with a layer of raw paint. It is very strong and will not be broken at least. This reassured Wei Ran.

Compared with the experience of fighting with cold weapons, Wei Ran must not be as good as ITO, an old swordsman. But he also has the advantage that he is young enough and physically good enough, while ITO is just the opposite.

Wei Ran's physical quality leveled Ito's experience and technology, and the rest was to compare his concentration and mind.

He walked up to the ring with an axe in his hand, like a terrible killing machine. The audience stood up again and shouted loudly. The cold weapon fight they imagined must be bloody. This duel must be very wonderful.

Wei Ran passed by ITO, and ITO said, ”whoever wins this game, will accept the challenge of the next game.”

Wei Yanqi said, ”even if you win, is that true?”

”Yes, that's the rule of the game. However, no matter who we two live, the next fight against the ten armed mobs is also equivalent to killing chickens and dogs. ”

Wei Ran thought to himself that the old swordsman was really confident. But this sentence also encouraged Wei Ran in disguise, so that he no longer took the next thing to heart.

As the bell rang, Lao Jianhao pulled out his long knife. In the process, his eyes became very sharp and full of killing opportunities. Although the speed of drawing the knife is not fast, there are no flaws to find.

Ito put the Taidao in front of him with both hands, the tip of the knife pointed obliquely, and the blade was facing Wei Ran. He stood with his feet slightly staggered, facing back and forth. Except for those eyes, the whole person keeps a relaxed state. Strangely, the person and the knife fit perfectly as a whole.

Wei Ran held the axe in both hands, the end of the handle in one hand and the bottom of the axe in the other hand. Put the axe obliquely behind you as you used to practice explosive power by cutting trees. The body faces the opponent, and the two legs are staggered obliquely, maintaining a certain tension.

After the two men put on a good posture, they entered the state of confrontation and didn't take action for a long time.

Ito's steps sometimes move forward slightly. He has rich experience. At a glance, he can see that Wei Ran's arms are not only longer than himself, but also his weapons are longer than Taidao, and the attack distance accounts for a large advantage.

If you want to ensure that you don't get hit and kill the other party at the same time, you have to find the flaw of Wei Ran's posture, and make a sudden breakthrough from the angle and position where he is most unsuitable for shooting, so that he can end the battle before he swings the axe.

Therefore, ITO has been moving in small steps around Wei Ran, sometimes walking towards Wei Ran's backhand, and sometimes suddenly turning back to the forehand.

Ito's seemingly meaningless circular movement is testing Wei Ran's weakness every step.

When he came to the backhand direction, if Wei Ran didn't turn in time, his axe would have to move a distance to hit ITO.

When he moves to the forehand, if he catches the angle close to the axe, Wei Ran can't give full play to his axe power, so that he has no lethality.

From Wei Ran's point of view, ITO is a tree that can move and fight back.

When he used to practice cutting trees, he waved an axe, which seemed to cover a large area.

But in fact, the section with the most sufficient force and the fastest speed has only a narrow angle.

Set into the current combat environment, if ITO suddenly launches an attack outside this narrow angle, Wei Ran will hit the other party even if he strikes back with an axe, or he will hit the other party with the spare power of the axe after he is hit by the knife because of the long distance. Or because of the close distance, the potential energy of the axe as a heavy weapon could not be brought into play and could not hurt ITO, so that he was killed.

So his agile moving footwork followed Ito's actions.

Ito's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw that Wei Ran didn't show his flaws. He changed a variety of ways to hold the knife. He suddenly raised it to the top of his head, and suddenly dragged it down behind him. He also stood at his waist with the tip of the knife pointing to the middle of the enemy.

The change of posture means a variety of changes in Ito's attack direction, which is intended to confuse Wei Ran and make him unable to judge the attack angle. It also implies that Wei Ran: I'm ready to attack at any time.

Ordinary people will inevitably be nervous when they are hinted by this. Their mind will fluctuate with the change of each other's posture, and even unconsciously adjust their posture in order to adapt to the situation.

However, Wei Ran has never formally cultivated cold weapons. His posture of cutting trees has only such a move. This move has been practiced for more than 100000 times and has long been integrated into muscle memory, so he responds to changes with constancy.

In the view of the old swordsman, this is the spiritual realm of nothing outside the heart. The warriors who can exercise this state of mind are one in a hundred.

Ito was admiring, his eyes flashed an absolute color, and his footwork changed again. Originally, it moved around Wei Ran in an arc of nearly equal radius, but now it is testing back and forth at the limit of Wei Ran's attack range.

This is another test of Wei Ran's sense of distance and mentality. If you can't judge your own attack distance and the enemy's attack distance clearly, it's easy to expose flaws in the active attack.

The state of mind is unstable, and it is easy to be impetuous due to the repeated temptation of the other party, so as to make wrong judgments.

This is Wei Ran's first life and death battle with cold weapons. He dare not joke about his life. Fortunately, he has rich fighting experience and has long exercised a big heart from all kinds of actual combat.

So that he maintained a quite calm attitude in the cold weapon fight in which he could decide life and death with one move.
