Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 68 The discussion begins

"Since Guard Xu has the advantage in strength, I will take action first." Jiang Xuan said calmly to Guard Xu, holding a silver spear.

With a tap of his heel, the silver spear flew out and landed steadily in the hands of Jiang Xuan who had already stepped out.

Jiang Xuan looked at the silver spear in his hand with great interest, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Although the silver spear in Jiang Xuan's hand was not as easy to use as the Black Rhino Spear and the Swallow Spear, the moment Jiang Xuan actually held it in his hand during the sparring, he could still easily distinguish the excellent quality of the silver spear in his hand.

In fact, before holding the silver spear in his hand, Jiang Xuan was not sure whether this competition would have the expected effect.

However, the moment he held the silver spear in his hand, Jiang Xuan's expectations for this competition became much higher due to the subtle feeling.

At this moment, Guard Xu's face also showed an expression of great interest, just like Jiang Xuan's.

"Beautiful!" Guard Xu marveled at the way Yu Jiangxuan drew his gun, and couldn't help but blurt out a word of praise.

Holding the silver spear in his hand, Jiang Xuan waved the spear in his hand like he was practicing in the forest, performing a set of beautiful gun flowers.

"Gun flowers, I can do that too." Seeing Jiang Xuan performing gun flowers, Guard Xu also felt itchy, so he tapped his heels, grasped the spear in his hand, and then performed a set of neat gun flowers, then took a stance, ready to engage in battle.

Jiang Xuan sighed. Although Guard Xu was a peak Heavenly Rank warrior, his primary weapon wasn't a spear, so he probably wouldn't be used to it. Guard Xu's spear moves were no less impressive than those of a Heavenly Rank warrior whose primary weapon was a spear.

With a thought, Jiang Xuan, as he approached Guard Xu, used the energy from his forward charge to slightly sideways exert force on his feet and stabbed Guard Xu diagonally with the spear in his hand.

"Bore!"

Guard Xu maintained the same posture as before the fight, slightly adjusted his spear, and easily blocked Jiang Xuan's thrust.

"Such a strong force, such a steady block." With just the first contact between the two spears in this battle, Jiang Xuan confirmed some of his previous speculations about Xu Huwei's strength.

Although there was nothing special about this attack and defense on the scene, Jiang Xuan could actually feel the sense of power transmitted to him through the spear.

"Although Young Master Jiang is a mid-level Heavenly Rank warrior, in real combat, I'm afraid he can fight against a high-level Heavenly Rank warrior." Guard Xu said to Jiang Xuan, holding a spear.

Jiang Xuan was very happy to receive the recognition from the top Heavenly Rank warrior, but he was in combat mode and did not dwell on it too much.

"Guard Xu, you're too kind. Come again!" Jiang Xuan turned his body, exerted force with his hands, and the silver spear spun at high speed, sweeping towards Guard Xu in front of him.

The attack launched by Jiang Xuan had a strong rotation. According to his estimation, even if the high-speed rotating spear was blocked by Xu Huwei, it would be deflected at least twice due to its rotation speed. Combined with the original attack, it could cause at least three attacks in a short period of time.

Although Guard Xu had limited his strength to the intermediate level in the first round of sparring, he possessed the foundation and awareness of a peak Heavenly Rank warrior, and was definitely not someone that could be easily defeated by an ordinary intermediate-level warrior. With this in mind, Jiang Xuan could freely spar with Guard Xu.

“Boring…”

Guard Xu once again easily deflected the attack from the silver spear.

However, it was because Guard Xu's blocking this time seemed no different from the first time that Jiang Xuan's evaluation of Guard Xu's strength increased a bit.

Jiang Xuan could clearly sense that Guard Xu's block this time was a bit more labored than the previous one. Although both appeared to be very relaxed on the surface, the difference was significant to Jiang Xuan. This meant that Jiang Xuan's attack was clearly more effective than the previous one.

However, while Jiang Xuan gained some confidence, he was also surprised by the control that Xu Huwei showed in blocking this time.

Jiang Xuan expected at least two deflections in this attack, but not even one occurred!

"Neither speed nor strength is enough to threaten his defense. I can only change my attack method." Jiang Xuan's two attacks were easily blocked by guard Xu, and he began to plan other moves.

Jiang Xuan smiled at Guard Xu and said, "Guard Xu, since your usual weapon is a dagger, you should be familiar with the next attack. I'd appreciate your guidance."

After saying that, Jiang Xuan held his spear and made a bowing motion in preparation for launching the next attack.

Seeing Jiang Xuan's preparations, Guard Xu's face became even more interested.

"You know this move? You even used it in your spear attack. Let's see how it works?" Guard Xu watched Jiang Xuan's every move, full of anticipation for Jiang Xuan's next attack.

Jiang Xuan gripped the silver spear in his hand, stepped on the ground, and the next moment, he quickly jumped into the air.

"It's that move indeed." Looking at Jiang Xuan who jumped into the air and raised his spear in a slightly exaggerated movement, Guard Xu raised his eyebrows, a hint of excitement appeared on his face, and then he slightly changed his defensive posture, ready to meet Jiang Xuan's attack.

"Jingzhe Gun!" Jiang Xuan shouted, and his body fell rapidly.

"Qiang..."

The two spears slashed against each other, making a sharp sound that echoed throughout the courtyard.

"What kind of move is this? The falling speed is so fast. If the opponent is not a peak-level heavenly warrior, I'm afraid he will have difficulty resisting it." Xu An, who was sitting on a stone bench not far away, leaned forward and continued to watch the competition between Jiang Xuan and Guard Xu.

Guard Xu had hoped to dodge Jiang Xuan's attack with his understanding of the Jingzhe Spear, but he was surprised to discover that Jiang Xuan's understanding of the Jingzhe Blade, and the degree to which he had integrated the Jingzhe Blade's techniques into his spearmanship, far exceeded his expectations.

"What a great move with the Jingzhe Spear!" Guard Xu couldn't help but sigh.

At this point, Guard Xu's assessment of Jiang Xuan's strength had increased. He was almost certain that Jiang Xuan's understanding of weapons was no less than his own.

At this time, Jiang Xuan, because of casting the Jingzhe Spear, was slightly off balance when he landed. Although Jiang Xuan had better coped with this state of adjustment, it was obvious that this kind of imbalance still existed after casting the Jingzhe Spear.

However, Jiang Xuan was not distressed by this. On the contrary, he now had some new expectations for better use of the Jingzhe Spear.

One of the reasons why Jiang Xuan had these new expectations was the peak-level Heavenly Rank warrior who was standing not far from him.

"Mr. Jiang, it's beyond my expectation that you could know and successfully execute this attack. I didn't expect that you could apply the essence of the Jingzhe Knife's swordsmanship so reasonably to your spearmanship. It's really wonderful." Guard Xu praised.

Jiang Xuan stood still, holding the spear in his hand, with an anticipation on his face.
