Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 145 Offensive and defensive transition
Zhu Yu rushed towards Warrior No. 44 with a soft sword in hand.

However, Warrior No. 44 had not yet recovered from his previous mood.

He was still immersed in Zhu Yu's strange laughter just now.

The hearty and somewhat crazy laughter made him confused and he was still unable to recover from it.

He didn't understand how a young warrior could be so persistent?

How could he ignore the cracks opening up on his body?

He didn't understand how a little kid could have the courage to laugh wildly after being in such a situation?

What on earth could have made Warrior No. 161 continue to fight and issue such a provocation to him even after being covered in wounds?

Not only Warrior No. 44 didn't understand, but the vast majority of the audience present didn't understand either.

Most of them naturally thought that there was some personal grudge between the two men, which was why they were determined to fight to the death when they met in the martial arts arena.

……

Seeing Zhu Yu flying towards him, Warrior No. 44 was unable to react in time due to the other party's unconventional behavior.

He could only use the shortest possible time to pull himself out of his tangled and confused mood.

Relying on the reflexes of his long-trained body, Warrior No. 44 held the sword with both hands. After judging the direction of his opponent's attack, he raised the sword diagonally, ready to block Zhu Yu's attack.

However, just as he expected, Zhu Yu launched an attack that was difficult for him to predict. Instead of attacking the upper body of Warrior No. 44 as he did at the beginning, he attacked his legs instead.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Yu did not insist on pursuing a winning move, but took every step carefully without rushing to gain a victory.

When approaching Warrior No. 44, Zhu Yu immediately changed the direction of attack.

He slid close to the ground and swung the soft sword quickly in the air. The soft sword shook in the air and made a chirping sound.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhu Yu quickly pulled the soft sword in his hand, and the soft sword, which was still chirping, drew a not very regular line.

Zhu Yu tried his best to keep his balance after sliding.

At this time, the two warriors had already exchanged positions on the field.

"pat...pat..."

A drop of blood slid down Zhu Yu's soft sword and dripped onto the ground.

Not far from Zhu Yu, Warrior No. 44 covered his calf with his hand, and bright red blood flowed out from between his fingers.

Zhu Yu's actions were so quick that Warrior No. 44 had no time to react. For a moment he didn't even know what was happening.

In the previous attack, Zhu Yu quickly dodged the dagger that his opponent was about to block.

Almost at the same moment, the soft sword in his hand instantly cut his opponent's legs.

Warrior No. 44 took his hands away from his legs subconsciously, and looked at his legs. He saw that there was a neat tear in his robes on his calves near his ankles.

Bright red blood was already flowing out from under his robe.

The strange thing was that he didn't even feel any pain during the battle just now.

I only felt a little numbness and a slight chill.

I don’t know if it’s because the whole attack process happened too quickly, or because his mind is completely confused and blank.

The most direct impact of attacking the opponent's legs is naturally to slow down the opponent's movement speed.

But in the eyes of everyone, the speed of Warrior No. 44 was not fast in any way.

In other words, Warrior No. 44 was able to force Zhu Yu into this situation not by relying on his speed.

Given this, it would be illogical for Zhu Yu to attack Warrior No. 44's legs. Despite all these reasons, Zhu Yu still chose to attack Warrior No. 44's legs instead of his upper body, naturally having his own considerations.

It was because at the very beginning of this competition, Zhu Yu had already tried to attack the upper body of warrior No. 44.

Therefore, Warrior No. 44 couldn't help but be on guard against Zhu Yu's attack.

In the same position, Warrior No. 44 would extra strengthen the protection of his upper body, focusing on defending the upper body that was attacked by Zhu Yu.

In this way, after the first attack failed, Zhu Yu could not choose the same position as the last time for the second attack.

Firstly, the opponent has made certain preparations, and secondly, the attack may be deflected due to the opponent's blocking, resulting in an inaccurate and invalid attack.

Ineffective attacks may have the opposite effect.

What if the attack was effectively blocked by Warrior No. 44, but the soft sword could not withstand the heavy dagger and the power of Warrior No. 44?
What if another ineffective attack makes Warrior No. 44 even more alert, thus affecting his next offensive choice?

All of these were within Zhu Yu's consideration, but he didn't want to think about them any further.

Of course, an ineffective attack is not without any benefit. At least it can serve to delay time.

But it is obvious that this method of delaying comes at a great cost.

However, when Zhu Yu turned to attack the legs of Warrior No. 44, the situation was completely different.

First, take the enemy by surprise; second, do not rush for a moment, but proceed step by step cautiously.

He had already planned all this since Zhu Yu's wild laughter was heard.

Zhu Yu had previously planted a seed in Warrior No. 44, letting him know the advantage of the soft sword in Zhu Yu's hand in attacking the neck.

In this case, by temporarily changing direction and taking advantage of the opponent's distraction, the attack is very likely to succeed.

Once successful, it will be possible to effectively weaken the speed of Warrior No. 44 and extend the time for Warrior No. 44 to react.

Although Warrior No. 44's movement speed itself was not fast, the attack on his legs undoubtedly further weakened his movement speed.

In that case, even if his advantage lies in strength, he will be unable to cope with Zhu Yu's next attack because of the gap in speed between them.

His enormous strength would also be more difficult to exert due to the reduction in speed, making it more difficult for him to launch an effective attack on Zhu Yu.

Before this, Zhu Yu did not dare to get close to Warrior No. 44 due to his enormous strength.

Now, it was Warrior No. 44 who had to be on guard at all times and didn't dare let Zhu Yu get close to him.

The offensive and defensive situation changed at this moment!

Thinking of this, Warrior No. 44 at this moment became obviously panicked, and the strength of the two was reversed.

Now, what he wanted most was to find an opportunity to "get rid of" Zhu Yu in one move, or to weaken his opponent's ability to move in the same way to avoid causing further harm to himself.

If he couldn't find Zhu Yu's weakness, or couldn't find the right opportunity to put this idea into practice, what might be waiting for him might be what he had wanted Zhu Yu to do before, which was to admit defeat.

Otherwise, his situation would be very difficult.

This can be seen by looking at the wounds on Zhu Yu's body that are constantly oozing blood.

Seeing the offensive and defensive switches and the changing situations of the two warriors on the martial arts field, the audience in the audience was excited...

Some warriors were sighing and lamenting.

At this moment, Zhu Yu's wounds were still bleeding and had not been bandaged in time, so he had lost a lot of blood.

Zhu Yu stood trembling on the martial arts field, his white clothes stained with blood of all sizes. His complexion was getting worse and worse, and his face was completely pale.
