Chapter 259 Two Daggers
At this time, the captain standing opposite Jiang Xuan had no weapons in his hands, but just stood there with a calm expression.

Jiang Xuan took a quick look and found that the captain had two short swords hanging around his waist.

The scabbards of the two daggers are almost identical, obviously, they are a pair of daggers.

Judging from the exquisiteness and fine craftsmanship of the two daggers, they should be of high-grade quality.

Among warriors, having a high-level weapon is already a very rare situation, let alone having two high-level weapons.

What was even more rare was that this captain now possessed two almost identical daggers, and they were most likely two identical high-level daggers.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan thought of Cheng Xiuyong who also used a dagger.

Cheng Xiuyong was ranked third in the peak group of the Five States Martial Arts Competition. Jiang Xuan also knew the other two. Therefore, it was highly likely that this captain was not as strong as Cheng Xiuyong.

Unless, this captain is like Instructor Liu, who simply looks down on the Five States Martial Arts Show, or is busy and unable to participate in this year's Five States Martial Arts Show.

Jiang Xuan searched through his memory and found that he had indeed never watched this captain compete in the Five States Martial Arts Festival, but he felt a sense of familiarity as if he had seen this captain at the Five States Martial Arts Festival.

"Have you ever met the Captain and I at the Five States Martial Arts Competition?" Jiang Xuan asked.

It seemed like some greetings that were not very useful, but in fact, it was an inquiry that Jiang Xuan used to confirm the other party's strength.

"Maybe I have seen him before, but Junior Brother Ling and I are in different groups, so it's normal that we are not familiar with each other."

The captain thought that he had taken the initiative to distance himself from Junior Brother Ling, and also pointed out that Junior Brother Ling was not as strong as himself.

However, for Jiang Xuan, the captain's words were enough to judge the captain's strength.

Whether before a competition or before a battle, it is very important to understand the opponent's strength in advance, which will greatly help in the battle or competition.

Jiang Xuan is very clear about this, not to mention that he has an extremely advantageous practice method.

"Since this captain said so, he must have participated in the Five States Martial Arts Exercise. In that case, his strength is roughly below that of Cheng Xiuyong."

In this way, Jiang Xuan felt more confident when competing with the captain who was using a dagger, and two daggers at that.

Although Jiang Xuan did not fight against Cheng Xiuyong, he also saw some of Cheng Xiuyong's moves.

On this basis, Jiang Xuan also incorporated what he knew about Cheng Xiuyong's strength and moves into the drill and made some attempts. The results satisfied Jiang Xuan.

Now, also holding two daggers, although this captain is also a genuine top warrior, it is difficult for him to defeat Jiang Xuan easily.

"Since I am a peak warrior, this battle is just to test Junior Brother Ling's strength, so let Junior Brother Ling make the first move."

The captain and Jiang Xuan exchanged pleasantries again.

"Since the captain has said so, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse." After Jiang Xuan said this, he drew out the short knife from his waist and attacked the captain directly.

"Junior Brother Ling is indeed extraordinary." The captain praised Jiang Sheng while dodging calmly.

"Hehe, when you can deal with it calmly, you can naturally say all kinds of nice words. I hope you can continue to say such nice words later." Jiang Xuan secretly teased the captain in his heart.

The captain didn't know that all of Jiang Xuan's moves were the same ones he had used in the drill with Cheng Xiuyong that day. Not only were the moves unchanged, but even the combination of moves and the order of the moves remained unchanged.

The tactics originally used to fight against the stronger Cheng Xiuyong were naturally extremely oppressive when used against this captain.

As Jiang Xuan used his moves, the captain felt more and more pressure.

At a certain moment when he had no choice, the captain reluctantly drew one of the two daggers hanging at his waist.

"How come this kid's attacking moves are so sharp?" the captain was secretly surprised.

Although this captain did not fight against Cheng Xiuyong, in his heart, Cheng Xiuyong was an excellent opponent for him in Qizhou.

However, at this moment, a thought suddenly occurred to him: "With this kid's strength, I'm afraid even if Senior Brother Cheng comes, there's no guarantee that he can easily defeat him."

Similarly, after this brief exchange with the captain, Jiang Xuan also had this thought in his mind: "How could this guy be so weak?"

Based on the brief encounter between Jiang Xuan and the captain, he felt that the captain did not seem like a warrior who had already reached the peak of the heavenly level, but more like a warrior like him who had just reached the peak stage not long ago.

"What's going on?" Jiang Xuan really couldn't understand. Why did the competition turn out like this when the opponent was clearly a warrior who had reached the peak earlier than him?

"These two daggers are really not easy to use. Why am I still not used to them?" The captain was a little shaken at this time.

Before the competition, he didn't think Jiang Xuan's attack would be so sharp, so he just used a weapon at random to fight Jiang Xuan.

However, after the competition began, Jiang Xuan's performance obviously far exceeded his expectations, and he had a hard time coping at one point.

Having chosen a weapon, one cannot easily change it. After all, this competition is still a competition in name only. If one were to change weapons right at the start, wouldn't the soldiers under his command laugh at him?

Thinking of this, the captain had no choice but to bite the bullet, draw out the other dagger hanging from his waist, and continue fighting with Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan saw some clues from his opponent's face, and was secretly delighted, and continued to speed up the attack in his hand.

After a horizontal slash, Jiang Xuan quickly chopped vertically.

The captain was unable to dodge and had to quickly block it with two daggers.

"These two daggers are indeed at least high-level weapons, and they may even be two top-level daggers." Jiang Xuan made such a judgment in surprise after the other party caught his chop.

However, Jiang Xuan's intuition told him that there seemed to be something wrong with the captain's two daggers. He always felt that the captain was a little awkward when using these two daggers.

"Could it be that something is wrong, causing this captain to be unable to unleash the full power of these two daggers?" Jiang Xuan pondered to himself.

"No, let's adjust our fighting style first and give him a try." Jiang Xuan turned the short knife in his hand, slashed it diagonally, moved his feet, and continued with another chopped blow.

"Did this guy see something?" Faced with Jiang Xuan's targeted fighting style, the captain's defense was very difficult every time.

Faced with Jiang Xuan's attack, the captain had no choice but to take it head-on with his dagger.

“Boring…”
