Chapter 142: Sword Master Civil War 4

Ethan understood the blocking again, and his confidence increased immediately. He excitedly raised his sword and rushed towards [Dance of Death].

And [Dance of Death] dodged, counterattacked, dodged again, and counterattacked again...

This time, facing the counterattack, Ethan rushed forward and slashed, and decisively gave up the sword back to block, and did not hesitate to follow up with three consecutive slashes.

The three consecutive slashes are a move that moves forward slightly and swings in a large range in three stages.

You can change direction and speed in the middle, which is most suitable for breaking moves.

And this move also worked. Swinging the sword in a large range not only broke the opponent's evasion and counterattack, but also counterattacked with six sword qi in an instant.

[Dance of Death] was forced to retreat again and again, and the moves were stuck one after another, no longer dancing gracefully on the edge of death.

Seeing that it was effective, Ethan became more and more courageous, and his moves began to become more and more fluent.

Although sometimes, when facing the opponent's unexpected counterattack, he would instinctively return his sword to block due to habit, but it did not affect the overall change.

Ethan is also trying hard to change this bad habit. Sometimes he would rather use a heavy slash in vain after a move fails than return his sword to block the opponent's counterattack.

(Heavy slash is to raise the sword high, accumulate power and chop forward, which can produce a large range of sword energy. Although it can't fly far, it has great power and can shatter the flying sword energy.)

Everything is just for the continuity of the moves.

Ethan's efforts to change have gradually paid off.

His moves, one after another, are continuous, like mercury pouring on the ground.

Although [Dance of Death] can still dodge Ethan's attacks, its counterattacks have begun to be intermittent.

Even as time goes by, it has become unable to retaliate.

It can only passively dodge and move around.

This embarrassing appearance was just like when it pressed Ethan and attacked fiercely before.

At this moment, although [Dance of Death] looked calm on the surface, it was already in turmoil in its heart.

He clearly remembered that at the beginning, the young man in front of him, although he had the strength of a swordsman, his understanding of swordsmanship was as bad as dog shit.

Not only was he awkward, but he couldn't even do basic coherence.

At that time, even with his eyes closed, he could beat the other party to the ground.

If it weren't for this young man mastering the rules of blocking, his body would have been cold.

But in just one or two hours, this young great swordsman seemed to have suddenly opened his mind.

The moves began to become more and more coherent, and each move and each style was so reasonable and smooth, as if it was natural.

And the rationality contained the unreasonable power of rules.

It was that special blocking and counterattacking sword energy.

Not only was it unexpected and hard to defend against, but it was also several times more powerful than before.

It made him run around exhausted.

Ethan also noticed this. The blocking and counterattack triggered by attacking instead of defending was not only unexpected, but also greatly increased in power.

The sword energy generated by the power of the rules was like a yellow ox plowing a field, pulling long and deep gullies on the ground.

Ethan himself was terrified when he saw it.

In addition to the above, Ethan also noticed another point.

That is, why did the opponent only have one sword energy every time he counterattacked?

In theory, his blocking and counterattack would send out two sword energies at the same time, one for himself and one for the rules.

Since he can do it, the opponent should be able to do it too.

After all, every time the opponent dodges, it is so smooth and natural.

The only explanation is that the opponent only mastered the [dodge] rule, but did not master the [dodge counterattack] rule.

But Ethan felt that things were not that simple.

Of course, the not simple here does not mean that the opponent has something hidden.

But Ethan felt...

This little cat not only did not master the [dodge counterattack] rule, but also did not even master the [dodge] rule.

The opponent's dodge is just practice makes perfect.

In other words, this little cat is not a real great swordsman!

Thinking of this, Ethan was shocked by this sudden idea.

After all, before coming, those elf magicians said that this little cat had mastered the [dodge] rule.

They should not lie about this matter.

"But not lying means it must be the truth?"

Ethan still prefers his own guess.

He has fought with [Dance of Death] for so long, and he knows the situation of both sides.

When facing a situation that cannot be blocked by common sense, due to the power of rules, there will always be a sudden acceleration of the action, or the action will be deformed, so as to force the block.

But the opponent has never been unreasonable in dodging.

Every time there is a situation that cannot be reasonably dodged, the opponent chooses to jump back and keep a distance.

Instead of suddenly accelerating the action or deforming the action.

There is absolutely no forced dodge.

Not once.

This overly reasonable dodge itself is unreasonable for those who master the power of rules.

Thinking of this, Ethan became more and more convinced of his guess.

He even suddenly understood why the other party was trying to die when dodging, even though he could stay away from the sword energy. As long as he could avoid the damage, he would not dodge more than a millimeter.

The reason for this behavior.

First, it must be due to its confidence in its own body skills.

Second, the other party just wants others to think that it has mastered the [dodge] rule.

This mentality can be understood as...

When people lack something, they always want to show that they don't lack it.

For example, people who lack money often pretend to be rich, even if they have to pretend to be rich.

Superficial people always show off their knowledge.

Low-class people often carry luxury goods with them.

...

To put it bluntly, it's all vanity.

Of course, Ethan doesn't think that [Dance of Death] is like this because of vanity. He should do it for deterrence.

Only in this way can those damn magicians not have the slightest desire to resist.

In fact, when Ethan heard that the other party mastered the dodge rules, he didn't have the slightest desire to fight.

So, he wanted to leave as soon as he finished his entrustment.

But now, he thinks...

Maybe... he can win!

Of course, the premise is to confirm the conjecture.

But the key is how to confirm it?

At this time, Ethan suddenly saw his own shadow.

"Got it!"

"Just now, I didn't summon Volibear because I wanted to ask this little cat for advice."

"Volibel is lurking in the shadow and can attack at any time."

"What will the opponent do if I cast my shadow on him?"

Thinking of this, Ethan immediately had a solution.

He looked up at the sun. Because the two of them had been fighting for too long, the sun was already setting in the west, stretching his shadow very long.

Ethan smiled slightly, raised his sword and rushed towards the little cat.

This time, while he continued to attack as before, he occupied the west position intentionally or unintentionally.

The reason for this is that he wanted to project his shadow onto the opponent.

Because there is danger hidden in the shadow, the opponent will definitely not let the shadow be reflected on him.

But the speed of the shadow is equal to the speed of light, which is not comparable to the speed of the sword.

If you don't master the power of rules, how can you hide if you want to?

As long as the shadow can cover the opponent, it means that the opponent has definitely not mastered the [Dodge] rule.

On the contrary, it proves that the opponent is indeed a rule-based great swordsman.

Ethan acted according to his own ideas and immediately found something wrong.

The other party actually clearly competed with him for the west side.

It was not until then that Ethan noticed that the other party did not just start competing.

It was like this from the beginning to the end.
