Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 161 Vertical Sword Style

Chi Yunfeng turned the silver sword in front of him, held the sword with both hands, and held the silver sword upright in front of his forehead.

"Vertical Sword Style..."

Seeing Chi Yunfeng make such a move, the yellow-haired warrior holding the sword first muttered something silently, and then a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Brother Chi! Why do you have to use this move?" The yellow-haired warrior standing under the martial arts field couldn't help but shout this to Chi Yunfeng on the martial arts field.

Chi Yunfeng was extremely focused on the fight. No matter how big or small the battle was, no matter how strong or weak the opponent was, he would almost never take his eyes off the opponent.

He tilted his head slightly and glanced at the field with his peripheral vision, and naturally noticed the yellow-haired warrior holding the sword.

The yellow hair of the yellow-haired warrior was very conspicuous in the crowd, and Chi Yunfeng quickly thought of the identity of the yellow-haired warrior.

"Junior brother, the vertical sword style in the Golden Ape Sword Technique carries a high risk of injury in actual combat, so few disciples in the academy use it. I have my own considerations for using it. You just watch and gain some insights."

At this time, Chi Yunfeng on the martial arts field spoke in a casual yet infectious tone, showing the demeanor of a senior brother.

In fact, in Jinzhou Martial Arts School, in many cases, some difficult-to-teach sword techniques were indeed demonstrated by Chi Yunfeng.

From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chi Yunfeng is half a swordsmanship instructor of Jinzhou Martial Arts School.

"Yes, senior brother." After hearing Chi Yunfeng's words, the fear on the yellow-haired warrior's face quickly faded, and was replaced by joy and peace of mind.

He hugged the long sword tightly in his arms, straightened his body, and observed the every move of the two people on the field more carefully, especially Chi Yunfeng's every move.

What made me happy was that I could get a personal demonstration from Chi Yunfeng.

What’s reassuring is that whenever Chi Yunfeng said this, it meant that he was somewhat confident.

As Chi Yunfeng said, the vertical sword style in the Golden Ape Sword Technique is mainly offensive and lacks defense. Therefore, the risk of injury in actual combat will be significantly increased.

In addition, the vertical sword style in the Golden Ape Sword Technique is different from the vertical sword styles in other sword techniques. Generally speaking, it is more aggressive and carries a greater risk of injury.

If Chi Yunfeng had used the vertical sword style at the beginning of this battle, the yellow-haired warrior would not have had such great concerns.

But by this point in the competition, the yellow-haired warrior had already witnessed some of the methods of Warrior No. 175, and even believed that his strength was slightly above his own.

Under such conditions, it would undoubtedly be quite risky for Senior Brother Chi to use the vertical sword style.

At this time, not only the yellow-haired warrior, but also the other disciples of Jinzhou Martial Arts School who came to participate in the Five States Martial Arts Competition were almost all at the side of the Tianjie Group Martial Arts Competition, watching Chi Yunfeng's battle.

Most of them are Chi Yunfeng's junior brothers and sisters. In their opinion, Chi Yunfeng's move is not only a consideration in battle, but also a demonstration to help them better understand the vertical sword style in the Golden Ape Sword Technique.

"Vertical Sword Style? It sounds like an offensive move. He is not at a disadvantage at the moment, so why would he use such a radical and risky move?" Jiang Xuan wondered secretly.

Of course, he had practiced the Vertical Sword Style, but it seemed unconventional for Chi Yunfeng to perform it now, and the previous related practices were naturally not very useful.

What's more, from the words of Chi Yunfeng and his junior brother, it can be heard that although it is called the Vertical Sword Style, this Vertical Sword Style is not the same as that Vertical Sword Style.

The vertical sword style of the Golden Ape Sword Technique seems to be different from the vertical sword style of ordinary sword techniques.

"It's a bit tricky." Jiang Xuan thought about it, but still couldn't find a good solution.

To put it another way, even if he had a good method, he would not be able to practice it in the upcoming intensive battles.

Chi Yunfeng stepped on the ground and his whole body leaped forward lightly. Before he could stand still, he stepped on the ground again and his body leaped up lightly again.

In just a moment, Chi Yunfeng arrived in front of Jiang Xuan, holding the long sword in both hands, slashing down from top to bottom. Attacking Jiang Xuan with such a fierce attack, the audience in the martial arts arena also felt that the battle was about to end.

Many viewers even covered their eyes, unwilling to watch the cruel scenes that might appear next.

At this moment, they began to feel some sympathy for the poor warrior No. 175.

"I could have just surrendered under a casual blow, but when I met Senior Brother Chi, I forced him to show his true strength. What was the result? Didn't he still lose? And he even got seriously injured. Why bother? How foolish!"

Many people began to hope that No. 175 would not be seriously injured. After all, he was also a very good warrior.

However, Jiang Xuan on the court had no time to care about the thoughts of the audience.

"It's faster than I thought! The force seems quite impressive too!" Jiang Xuan was shocked.

"It's too late, just take this move." Jiang Xuan said inwardly.

Jiang Xuan had anticipated Chi Yunfeng's move, but even so, he was still surprised by its speed and strength.

This is not due to underestimating the enemy, but rather due to different combat strategies.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan had a backup plan. He held the dagger across his chest with the blade facing down, ready to take Chi Yunfeng's attack.

Chi Yunfeng frowned slightly, but the movements of his hands did not change at all, and his speed did not slow down at all.

Chi Yunfeng frowned because of two reasons.

Firstly, although his attack was intended to test the opponent, he also intended to defeat the opponent with one blow, so he did not hold back too much and only used 70% to 80% of his strength.

According to his past experience, almost no one below the peak warrior level could withstand this attack.

If the opponent wants to take this blow head-on, he will probably be at risk of getting injured.

Chi Yunfeng was even worried that his opponent would be in danger of being seriously injured if he took his attack head-on.

He did not want to seriously injure any opponent in the martial arts arena, no matter whether the opponent was a warrior from Jinzhou or a warrior from any other state.

Secondly, given the sharpness of the sword in his hand, even if the opponent can block it accurately, his weapon or even armor may be cut by the sword because it is not strong enough.

If that happens, the opponent will not only be at risk of injury, but his weapons and armor may also be damaged, causing greater losses.

However, even though he had some concerns, his offensive remained unabated.

Because he always believed that giving one's all is the greatest respect for the opponent.

And the opponent standing in front of him at this moment is an opponent worthy of his respect.

Therefore, even if he frowned, he had to give it his all!

"Bore!"

With a crisp sound of metal colliding, Chi Yunfeng's slightly wrinkled brow began to relax, replaced by a hint of surprise.

The long sword and the short knife collided, but neither of them moved at all!
Chi Yunfeng's attack was indeed completely blocked by Jiang Xuan.
