Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 62

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 62]

“Very good.” Xia Er nodded. He wanted to know who among them was the best swordsman. That person could teach others to make recruits grow up from farmers and commoners who were unskilled in martial arts to become reserve soldiers who knew how to use swords.

Chapter 78

Charles noticed that Hugo’s eyes were downcast and there was a strange smile at the corner of his mouth. What was he secretly delighting in?

They passed Duvin, who was basking in the sun in the corner of the library, and called him up too.

“Du Wen, you said you can use a sword, come here.” Ines urged.

“I want to rest. I have something to do this afternoon. I’m going to deal with a bunch of rapists, robbers and murderers. It’s very tiring.” Du Wen complained. He glanced at Ciel and saw that Ciel didn’t help him clear the siege. I mean, just keep up.

“I thought they were just thieves,” Charles said.

“How can there be thieves who keep their own feet? The thieves union is more terrifying than I thought. It is a big and dirty den, but no one dares to control it.” Du Wen shook his head.

They went up one floor and came to the empty room on the fifth floor, which was vast and empty, which was very suitable for gestures.

“In order to avoid injury.” Hugo put the sword aside. His sword was beautiful, with a white light on it and a turquoise handle with dark brown tassels. “We will fight with wooden sticks.” The broom’s broom was removed, leaving two sticks, one of which was thrown to Ines.

“Who do you mean to avoid getting hurt?” Ines caught the stick and put her sheathed black sword aside. “You bastard, you have to have a limit when you talk big.”

“Hey.” Hugo sighed.

The sigh angered Ines.

“You go first.” She instructed Du Wen, handing him the stick.

“Ah, this.” Du Wen took the stick, swung it around in his hand, and glanced at Hugo, “I’m not a professional fighter.”

“You don’t need to hide your clumsiness, your posture with the sword is very appropriate.” Hugo said calmly, “Let me see the real trick, because I am a professional swordsman, a real swordsman.”

“Trouble.” Du Wen muttered, but Ciel clearly saw that his eyes were bottomless.

Hearing that there was a fight to be seen, Alicia, Sirin and her two guards also came over to watch the scene in the middle.

“Who do you think will win?” Ciel asked the active mercenary.

“That man.” Kliushi pulled out the hilt of his sword and poked in Hugo’s direction, “He’s right, he’s more professional, he’s really a swordsman.”

“Yeah.” Dai Lan agreed.

“Aren’t you optimistic about me?” Du Wen tapped the stick on the palm of his hand, “This is a weapon for street fights, not a real sword.”

“Because of that.” Hugo chuckled, “So I’m sure to win.”

“I’ll give the order, start!” Ciel ordered.

The voice fell, but Hugo and Du Wen did not rush to attack each other, but observed each other’s movements and slowly approached each other. Both sides wanted to find flaws in each other’s movements and counteract them.

The calm lasted for a long time, and it was Hugo who broke the balance of this silence. He stabbed a stick forward neatly, and drilled into Du Wen’s heart like a poisonous snake. Du Wen wanted to fight back, but he did not expect the opponent to act like this. It was so fast that before he could react, he was hit hard on the chest.

“I lost.” Without waiting for others to judge, Du Wen took the initiative to back off.

“So fast.” Ines widened her eyes.

“Hmm.” Du Wen was absent-minded.

Hugo looked around slightly arrogantly.

“It’s not fair,” Kryushi continued. “Mr. Demon Hunter, this newcomer is an expert in combat, and the rest of you are still lacking.”

“Is he strong?” Charles asked.

“It’s not a question of strength or not.” Kliushi stroked his long beard, “This is the difference between a layman and a layman. Those who are proficient in martial arts can defeat laymen without pressure in one-on-one battles. It’s like A literate person can write, and an illiterate person cannot write a single word.”

“This doesn’t constitute a metaphor at all.” Ines gritted her teeth, grabbed the wooden stick from Duwen’s hand, and met Hugo.

“You think you can beat me?” She feinted at Hugo with the stick.

“You’ll know when you’re done,” Hugo said helplessly.

When they were relatively well-positioned and ready to go, Ciel issued the order.

“start!”

Ines stood sideways, reducing her attack surface, looking good.

Hugo, on the other hand, was in a formal swordsmanship stance, with both knees slightly bent, and both hands holding the stick in front of him, with the tip of the stick facing forward. At first glance, it was the result of professional guidance and long-term training.

They approached each other, and the pace formed a circle. Ines tentatively stabbed her own stick, without attracting Hugo’s counterattack, but Hugo feinted forward a little, which immediately made Ines feel like a formidable enemy and retreated. Two or three steps.

This angered her a bit, and she felt like she was being fooled.

“Go to hell!” She swiftly swept a stick from diagonally above, and Hugo fought backhand, the two sticks collided in the air, making a harsh and crisp sound.

She felt overwhelmed in the first confrontation, and Hugo chased after the victory, hitting her with three sticks, all of which hit her on the arm.

Ines jumped back quickly, her face angry.

“It seems that there is no need to continue.” Hugo said lightly.

Ines retreated to the sidelines with a gloomy face, and Hugo stood in the center.

Charles nodded.

“Your swordsmanship is good, and you can teach others in the future,” he said.

“Master Ciel, teach him a lesson.” Ines urged.

Ciel glanced at Hugo, hoping to see friendliness, but to his disappointment, he saw strong contempt in Hugo’s eyes. Swordsmanship, only he is a true swordsman.

Do people feel vain about such things?

“Mr. Demon Hunter, I’m afraid it’s also difficult.” Kliushi shook his head, “You are too young, but in five or ten years, in just three years, you will definitely achieve something.”

“Yeah.” Hugo tossed the stick aside. “That’s it.”

“Pick it up,” Charles said.

“I’m afraid it’s a little embarrassing, I think, I should show some respect to the master here?” Hugo said in an uneasy tone.

Ciel took the stick from Ines and tapped it on the ground with a clear sound.

“Well, if you insist…” Hugo shook his head, “I will try my best to be merciful.”

Even in the face of life and death, I never beg for mercy, and I never expect others to stop.

Charles frowned.

“Come on!” Alicia was excited, “Charle!”

“Avenge me!” Ines gritted her teeth, “I won’t allow you to lose!”

The others watched Ciel and Hugo attentively as they walked in, hoping for an exciting contest.

How to move the footsteps, how to set up a posture, how to attack effectively, and how to defend well enough to resist… These are all swordsmen’s thinking.

Ciel has seen a variety of swords, and swordsmen of different schools. For them, the sword is already a natural thing to do with breathing. Day and night, they understand the truth of the iron in their hands and chase the sword… He never tires of it, and is determined to devote his life to it.

“You’re not a real swordsman.” Ciel lifted his long stick and pointed it at the opponent.

“Me? Sir, I’ll see you soon.” Hugo couldn’t help chuckling, “Am I a swordsman or not, this kind of thing…”

“Start!” Alicia yelled, sooner than they thought.

Hugo carefully observed Ciel’s steps. Ciel didn’t give him a chance. He rushed forward in an instant, bullied him in front of him, and slammed down quickly with a stick.

Hugo raised the stick with his backhand, but it couldn’t touch it. The weapon could only slide along the stick in Ciel’s hand, and he couldn’t bear Ciel’s power at all.

Ciel frustrates Hugo’s counterattack, and immediately pursues it neatly, tapping his forehead hard.

His complexion suddenly changed, he quickly took two steps back, his expression changed rapidly, it was a mixture of surprise and unwillingness.

“Your strength…” Hugo murmured.

“It’s over,” Alicia announced contentedly.

“It’s not fair,” Hugo said in a deep voice. “It started too soon, and I wasn’t ready.”

“It doesn’t matter, fight until you think it’s fair, then come again.” Ciel regained his distance.

He is not my opponent. People may have speed and tactics, but the devil is more terrifying. The devil is infinitely powerful, sharp and cunning.

Charles thought.

After fighting for a long time with inhuman things, the mind and reaction have been raised to a higher level.

“Well.” Hugo stared at Ciel.

They stood opposite each other, and Alicia looked at the two of them and waited a long time before announcing the start.

Hugo concentrated on Ciel’s movements, and Ciel was still rushing to attack. A trace of scheming joy appeared on Hugo’s face.

Xia Erping waved a wooden stick and launched an attack, Hugo immediately fought back and took the initiative to block with a stick.

ding-bang-

The two sticks collided several times in the air, and the Ciel offensive became more and more fierce, and Hugo kept retreating.

However, in the process of continuously retreating, Hugo’s murderous intention broke out. Seeing the Ciel’s stick coming, the long stick was retracted, deliberately letting the parry fail, and then quickly stabbed at Ciel’s shoulder.

At this time, Ciel had just swung a blow, his strength was exhausted, and he was in the most vulnerable state. This raid was bound to hit.

Ciel made the right choice in an instant. He slammed into Hugo’s arms, attacking like a beast. Although Hugo’s stick successfully hit and hit Ciel on the shoulder, he was also hit hard by Ciel and immediately lost. Balanced, took three or four steps backwards in a row, and finally fell to the ground.

“It’s over.” Ciel pointed his stick at Hugo.

“—No, you can’t hit it.” Hugo covered the place where his body was hit, his face stiffened, “You are wearing heavy armor. If you take off your arms and hit, you can’t do this… Strong armor gives people courage.”

“What are your thoughts?” Charles calmly.

Hugo dropped the stick in his hand.

“Full sword without armor. Yes, a real sword, a real weapon, a real battle. Like the ancient Lomans.” He took off the leather armor, exposed his upper body calmly, and picked up his own from the sidelines arms.

Charles nodded.

“Ah, as for it?” Du Wen was surprised, “It will kill people.”

“It is the nature of warriors to be brave and ruthless. Only winning and losing can satisfy the hunger and thirst of the heart and resolve all disputes. Warriors cherish each other and fight for their lives. This is a Loman tradition and must be appreciated.” Kliushi stroked his saber. .

Ciel took off the black magic armor and took off his coat, leaving only his trousers, revealing the strong muscles of his upper body.

Since he left his hometown to follow Etienne, Xia Er has traveled through mountains and rivers and practiced his skills hard. Frankly speaking, he rarely seeks enjoyment and never wastes time.

The result of running around day and night is that his body is traumatized, beaten, and refined and strong.

Ines stared at the muscle lines on Ciel’s body, the scars on the chest and back were particularly noticeable, which were not found on Hugo.

“Hey, do you want to touch it?” Alicia said arrogantly. “Only I can.”

Ciel clenched his sharp blade, Gladius, the grey sword of a foreign land.

The blade demon sang in his heart.

What song is this?

Why do I feel a majestic mood?

Charles thought to himself.

There is a belief in the song, enough to cut the sky.

Hugo and Ciel stood opposite each other. He held up his sword and nodded to Ciel, performing swordsman etiquette.

“I hope you have more excuses.” Charles stroked his blade with his fingers, “For example, my sword is too sharp.”

“…” Hugo vibrated the sword in the air, and the clanging sound gradually rose, “I am a swordsman, a swordsman among mercenaries, a first-class swordsman. And my favorite weapon… is no worse than yours. .”

“Start!” Alicia didn’t have the patience to listen to the nagging, and quickly urged them to fight.

Ciel stepped forward and chopped off the sharp blade from directly above. Hugo counterattacked briskly, moving the sword delicately in the air.

He made progress sideways and raised his sword backhand. This sword was aggressive and just right. It could easily deflect the attack and open the opponent’s door wide.

clang!
