Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 57 Understanding Gunmanship
Holding a silver spear, Jiang Xuan stared at the brown lion that appeared beside the tree.

"It hit the lion as expected." Jiang Xuan saw a trace of blood on the side of the brown lion and confirmed that the attack from the black rhino spear had hit the lion's side.

However, judging from the bloodstains on the lion's body, the blow did not cause much damage to it.

In this way, Jiang Xuan had a preliminary assessment of the defensive capabilities of the brown lion in front of him.

If the same attack from the black rhino spear hit the giant bone wolf in the same way, let alone hitting the hard bones on the side of the giant bone wolf, even if it hit the weaker part of the giant bone wolf that was not protected by hard bones, a large part of the energy would be lost when passing through the big tree, and it would be extremely difficult to pose any threat to the giant bone wolf.

Obviously, the brown lion in front of Jiang Xuan had weaker defense than the giant bone wolf, which was also a second-level ferocious beast that day.

However, Jiang Xuan also understood that although the brown lion in front of him might be weaker in defense, since it was a second-level ferocious beast like the giant bone wolf that day, it very likely meant that it was stronger in attack power or flexibility, or even both of the above aspects at the same time.

Judging from the size of this brown lion, its flexibility is probably better than that of the giant bone wolf. As for its attack power, we will have to wait until Jiang Xuan fights with the brown lion before we can make a judgment.

"Hooo!"

Urged by anger, the brown lion decided not to wait and see any longer and immediately attacked Jiang Xuan.

"So fast!" Jiang Xuan couldn't help but sigh as he faced the brown lion leaping towards him at high speed.

The speed of this brown lion was almost twice as fast as that of the giant bone wolf that day. Therefore, Jiang Xuan almost instantly made up his mind.

When the situation reaches the point Jiang Xuan has preset, Jiang Xuan will implement that idea without hesitation.

Jiang Xuan exerted force sideways with his feet and lightly avoided the landing point of the brown lion. Almost at the same time, he moved his arm and the silver spear in his hand spun at high speed, sweeping towards the side of the brown lion.

"Bore!"

The brown lion raised one paw and easily blocked the silver spear that Jiang Xuan swept towards its side. At the same time, it grabbed the spear, used the force to make a tail swing, and slapped Jiang Xuan with the claws of its two hind legs.

"squeak……"

Jiang Xuan adjusted his posture and used his larger breastplate to block the brown lion's attack. The lion's sharp claws scratched through the fine iron armor, making a sharp squeaking sound.

Holding the silver spear tightly in his hand, Jiang Xuan blocked the attack of the brown lion, but was also knocked several feet away along with his spear by the brown lion.

"It's fast and has outstanding flexibility, which makes it really tricky." Jiang Xuan stood firmly, holding a spear in his hand, thinking about strategies to deal with the enemy.

Holding the gun with both hands, Jiang Xuan held the spear horizontally in front of him and performed a set of gun flowers, which was a warm-up and also a way to confuse the opponent.

In fact, this was a necessary preparatory action for Jiang Xuan.

Old Sha found several moves suitable for close combat in the Falling Leaf Spear Technique. The moves themselves were not complicated and were not difficult for Jiang Xuan, who had been practicing spear techniques since childhood.

However, Mr. Sha was extremely strict about Jiang Xuan's use of this move. He required Jiang Xuan to use the set of body movements given by Bei Hao when performing these moves.

On one hand, there is the unfamiliar shooting technique, and on the other hand, there is the unfamiliar body technique. How easy is it to combine the two?

Jiang Xuan had also thought about using some tricks and secretly using those Falling Leaf Spear Techniques alone, but they were all discovered by Old Sha without exception. It is conceivable that he artificially increased the difficulty in his subsequent training.

In order to better adapt to the Falling Leaf Spear Technique and the Body Technique, while also complying with Master Sha's requirement that the Falling Leaf Spear Technique must be used in conjunction with the Body Technique, Jiang Xuan had to find a new approach. He first used the Body Technique independently during the previous few days of combat, then incorporated the basic movements of those spear techniques into a set of Gun Flower techniques, indirectly enhancing his understanding of the Falling Leaf Spear Technique and the Body Technique set given to him by Captain Bei Hao.

The brown lion's speed and flexibility were excellent, but its strength and defense were weaker than the giant bone wolf that day.

The opponent's speed and agility made it difficult for Jiang Xuan to maintain a considerable distance from the brown lion. This made it difficult for Jiang Xuan to use his throwing skills.

The brown lion's relative shortcomings in strength and defense provide Jiang Xuan with a large margin of error. Coupled with the good protective capabilities of the fine iron armor, Jiang Xuan has relatively good conditions for close combat with the brown lion.

With a thought, Jiang Xuan exerted force sideways with his feet and attacked from the side of the brown lion.

The brown lion grabbed the ground with its claws and used the force to rush towards Jiang Xuan at an extremely fast speed.

Almost at the same moment, Jiang Xuan was entangled with the brown lion, and the silver spear light merged with the lion's dark claws, and they fought into a ball.

In the close combat with the brown lion, Jiang Xuan kept changing his moves and adjusting his position with his body movements, but he was unable to completely avoid the brown lion's attacks several times and had to use his fine iron armor to block the brown lion's attacks.

The dark claws gradually gained an increasing advantage in the close combat, but Jiang Xuan was not worried at all. On the contrary, he became quite excited.

"Go on, show all your strength!" Jiang Xuan shouted excitedly.

Although Jiang Xuan did not have the advantage in this round of close combat, and could be said to be at a clear disadvantage, at this moment he actually vaguely felt a hint of the essence of the Falling Leaf Spear Technique, which made him very excited.

Slowly, the lines of the silver spear became like willow branches, showing a slightly soft appearance. The tip and the tail of the spear were like the two ends of a willow branch, becoming extremely flexible.

With the subtle changes in his spear fighting posture, Jiang Xuan was able to reverse some of the disadvantages in the battle and reached a stalemate with the brown lion in close combat.

"Hooo!"

The battle went from having the upper hand to gradually losing the advantage, and even the battle with the young warrior came to a stalemate. The brown lion began to feel impatient, and his anger grew even stronger.

Jiang Xuan had managed to gain a foothold in the close combat with the brown lion at this time. He used up some of his energy and began to think about how to make further progress in the battle.

"scandium!"

Just when Jiang Xuanfang was trying to divert some of his energy from the battle and planning his next attack, the brown lion suddenly exerted its strength, opened its huge mouth and attacked Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan's heart trembled, and he quickly adjusted his posture. Unfortunately, the brown lion was extremely fast, and its huge mouth firmly bit into one of Jiang Xuan's shoulder armor.

With a smile on his lips, Jiang Xuan struggled hard and escaped from the iron armor. He then lightly moved to the side of the brown lion, turned his back to the brown lion, and thrust the silver spear in his hand out at high speed.

"puff!"

The silver spear pierced the brown lion's flesh, but in the next moment, it was tightly grasped by one of the brown lion's claws.

With its quick reaction, the brown lion actually tightly grasped the spear that Jiang Xuan stabbed out.
