145 Dual Blade Master Iron Bull (1/2)

It was common knowledge that swords were supposed to be elusive and profound while sabres were domineering and tyrannical.

In Chinese martial arts strength, technique and speed all countered each other.

The greatest benefit of the fighting bare handed was its speed and flexibility. Because of these advantages, barely handed fighters could rely on various techniques to grab or grapple with their opponents. In general, barehanded fighting styles were more suited to deal with other speed based or technique based fighting styles even if they used weapons. There was even a martial art specifically meant for barehanded fighters to deal with armed opponents.

However, against an opponent that used a strength-based fighting style then barehanded martial arts would be rather powerless…

Usually, against an opponent that was much stronger than oneself, it was only natural to try and overcome him with speed. However, a boss like Dark Scorpion Manus with both strength and speed, Wang Yu didn't have any opportunity to grab him at all! With the suppression of the difference in their attributes, no matter how skilled Wang Yu was, the only outcome if he tried to disarm Manus would be death!

Left with no other choice, Wang Yu took out a weapon of his own.

However, the weapon that he chose wasn't the Martial Artist's Dedication. Instead, it was a pair of swords!

More accurately, it was a dagger and a one-handed sword.

These two weapons were purchased by Wang Yu from Tia's shop back in Titan City. Both of these items were nothing more than White tier trash. The only thing special about these two weapons was that they had very long and curved hand guards that almost resembled a cross.

Although these two weapons were sold as individuals, Wang YU knew that they were meant to be used as a pair. He had previously learnt a martial art that used two blades very similar to these. They were known as the Awry Blades and belonged to a unique path of the way of the sword. The longer sword was meant for offense and the shorter one was meant for defense and this was a martial art that focused heavily on technique.

Because of the handguards and the combination of both swords, they would have been very effective in dealing with an enemy whose speed and power vastly outstripped the user himself.

The crux of this martial art was the coordination of both the hands together. Although a Pugilist was able to dual wield, the system wouldn't have been able to assist anyone else enough to perform this martial art. In the real world, there were only three people that were able to perform this martial art and Wang Yu just happened to be one of them.

It wasn't as though Wang Yu was trying to show off his skill, it was just that he had no other options left. Although the pole had a longer range, it was a more defensive weapon and would only be useful in blocking. Against an opponent who could even regenerate an arm, it was rather useless.

As a boss that could barely even be classified as a western character, Manus naturally didn't know what Wang Yu was trying to do and simply slashed towards him as he had been doing.

With a twist of his hand, the hand guard of the longer sword locked the blade of Manus' sabre. Following this, Wang Yu positioned himself right next to manus and drove the dagger straight into his heart.

This was a game after all… Even if he stabbed the throat of the heart of the boss it would at most be a critical hit. With the atrocious attributes of these two weapons, this damage was already counted a miracle.

Grimacing in pain, Manus forcibly swung his sabre towards Wang Yu's lower back. In response to this, Wang Yu stabbed the dagger downwards, once again locking Manus' sabre and then stabbing his throat with the sword.

Having been stabbed twice in a row without even being able to touch Wang Yu, Manus leapt backwards and scattered a handful of sand into the air and disappeared.

Seeing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but chuckle. He simply stabbed towards the ten o'clock direction and a sabre suddenly appeared between the handguards of his blades. Without even pausing, Wang Yu cast [Thunder God's Stomp] and revealed Manus.

Without even giving Manus any chance to respond, Wang Yu stabbed his heart and throat yet again.
