Chapter 241 Seeking a breakthrough
Bista is actually an uncle. He had already been in the new world with the Whitebeard more than 20 years ago. Now he is probably in his thirties and is almost four.
However, the uncle looked very particular. He often wore a top hat, a suit and a cloak, and had a curved and neat gentleman beard. From time to time, he would gently twist his beard with his fingers wearing white gloves.
He maintained his usual smile and stood opposite Yian. He lifted his cloak and exposed the two long swords on his left waist.
Bista’s weapon is actually a bit strange. His sword hilt was wrapped in a circle of handguards. It was the hilt of a common Western sting sword. However, his blade was not slender and sharp, but a single-sided samurai-like blade, which was not as thick as an ordinary sailor’s sword.
Such a unique shape can be said to be a weapon of several styles, so after Bista pulled out the sword, Yian kept paying attention to his weapons and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't your sword also one of the famous swords?"
"That's of course! This is one of the twenty-one workers of the Great Quick Knife!" Bista said with a smile: "The sword name is 'Flower Burial'! Where is your knife?"
"My?" Yian looked at the knife in front of him and introduced: "This is Qianben Sakura..."
"Sure enough!" Bista laughed and said, "I saw the battle between you and Kizaru in the air from afar. The cherry blossom petals flying all over the sky made me feel a little moved!"
"Uh..." Yian was suddenly a little unaware of what to say. When Bista mentioned this, Yian suddenly realized that when Bista made a move, it seemed that petals were flying all over the sky?
After his and Bista’s exchange, it won’t turn into that beautiful artistic plot…
"Be careful!" Bista saw that he was a little distracted and reminded him. At this moment, he was already holding a sword in both hands and ready to attack.
Yian also came to his senses, holding the scabbard in his left hand, and holding the knife handle with his right hand, squatting slightly, ready to take action at any time.
According to Yian's estimate, the fujian Bista should also be an opponent of the Great Sword Master level. How to say that, since Yian went to sea, he has probably only Vista has faced the Great Sword Master. Other opponents are not good at swordsmanship. This is probably the reason why Yian's swordsmanship has not made much progress for a long time.
At this time, the two of them really looked like a showdown between two swordsmen. Ian adjusted his breathing according to the way Rayle taught, and his muscles were tense, guarding Bista in the most easiest position taught by Koshiro, and Bista was the same. His two foil swords crossed slightly in front of his chest, which was the posture he would only show when facing an enemy he valued more.
Although they had not taken action yet, the domineering attitude of the two people had already been unfolding, and they were fully aware of their opponent's every move. At this time, the field was silent, and the onlookers did not dare to show off, for fear of disturbing the showdown between the two.
At this moment, the white beard, who had been watching, suddenly felt a little unhappy and sneezes suddenly.
With this sound, Yian and Bista moved at the same time! When Yian rushed forward, his right hand also landed on the hilt of Chiben Sakura's sword, and at an unparalleled speed, he slashed at Bista in front of him.
However, Bista stood beside his sword with one hand and held up Yian's attack with a clang. Then the sword with the other hand also stabbed Yian's shoulder with the same speed as lightning.
As his sword swung, red petals floating in the air appeared. Yian didn't know whether this was a special sword skill or an illusion. At this time, he no longer had to think about these things. After sensing the direction of Bista's attack, Yian immediately made a wrong step, shook his shoulders and avoided Bista's stabbing.
Then he waved his sword and slashed at Bista. Bista suddenly waved his sword with one hand and hit Yian's blade with his strength. Then, the sword in his other hand launched a super fast continuous stab at Yian.
Bista is the sword technique of the second sword flow, but what Ian lacks the least is the experience of fighting against the second sword flow sword technique. When he was in Frostmoon Village, Zoro was the tactic of the second sword flow when he was practicing with Zoro.
The sword technique of Erdaoliu has a characteristic, that is, the victory lies in the tricky attack. After all, there is one more weapon than the opponent. While parrying and blocking, you can also counterattack and attack at any time. However, holding a sword with one hand is less powerful than holding a sword with both hands, so generally, the sword technique of Erdaoliu wins by relying on skills and speed.
Ian also lacks speed, unlike when he fought with Fossa before. At that time, Fossa's attacks were straightforward, so Ian also used his strength to fight him. When competing with Bista, Ian also exerted his speed. Although he only had one knife, the soft wrists and steps he trained through sword practice for many years, and his speed, was not inferior to Bista's second sword flow.
Surrounding the two were the large number of petals brought out by Bista when he attacked, and the air was filled with a fragrance. No wonder Bista had the nickname "Flower Sword". His sword skills were indeed full of elegance and beauty.
The two of them fought quickly and changed positions constantly and fought into a group. The onlookers were less powerful at this time and could no longer see their moves. They only felt that their weapons had turned into streams of light, dazzled.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them could not count how many times they had fought. Bista's sword skills were very powerful, but Yian was also good at basic sword skills and could deal with Bista's various sword moves.
However, when fighting with Bista, Ian found that he was indeed much stronger than Fossa's swordsmanship. Bista's move often attacked in Yian's most vulnerable position, forcing him to change his moves to deal with it. Although it seems that there is no winner for the time being, Ian knew that if he continues to fight, perhaps after more than a thousand moves, he might be defeated.
Bista's vision of swordsmanship is much higher than Ian. After all, Bista is so older than Ian. Naturally, there are many swordsman masters I have met than Ian.
Yian also thought about whether to use Qianben Sakura to solve the problem and gain faster power and speed to fight Bista, but as soon as this thought arose, he abandoned it.
He knew very well that the bottleneck in his swordsmanship was not related to speed and power, but a kind of understanding of the quality of swordsmanship. If he wanted to break through this hurdle, then Ian had to rely on his own swordsmanship to deal with Bista's attack.
So, he gritted his teeth and continued to fight against Bista. Bista was looking for his attack flaws, so he would make his move more perfect...
During the fight, Bista naturally discovered Yian's changes and progress, so he couldn't help but smile on his face.
When he watched the battle between Ian and Fossa, he actually discovered Ian's situation. Ian's swordsmanship is not lacking in foundation, speed and strength, and his vision requires the accumulation of experience. These are all small problems. Therefore, the reason why Bista agreed to compete with Ian was to see if he could help him and help him understand the key.
"Be careful!" Bista suddenly screamed as he was fighting.
Yian was already concentrating on fighting him, and his reminder made him even more focused.
However, when Bista slashed at Yian the next second, Yian had a problem!
He found that he didn't know how to dodge Bista's sword! Bista's sword looked ordinary. Logically speaking, Yian could dodge any way, but what Yian couldn't imagine was that several dodging plans that flashed through his mind instantly gave him a feeling of "not being able to avoid it"!
It was about to be cut down! This was the only premonition that Yi's safe body cell brought him. He found that Bista's sword seemed to have completely locked him!
It's troublesome to describe, but in fact it's just a moment. Yian clearly sensed Bista's movements through the mindful force field, but in the end he seemed to be stunned and was instantly hit by Bista.
Of course, Bista used the back of the knife, which was just a competition, not a life-and-death battle against the enemy. After this back of the knife was cut on Yian's shoulder, Bista also passed by Yian at the same time.
Ian was sweating profusely, not tired, but the danger that Bista’s attack brought him at that moment.
After hitting Yian, Bista stopped temporarily. Yian turned around and asked Bista, regardless of the scorching pain on his shoulders, "What's going on? Why can't I do that at that moment just now? Did you do anything to me?"
Bista twisted his beard and said, "Actually, I can't describe it well. If you have to find an adjective...that's that you were locked in by my aura before!"
"Momentum!? Locking!?" Yian chewed these two words repeatedly, and then combined his feelings at that moment to experience them carefully.
He felt as if he had already felt some pulse...
He originally wanted to continue to fight Bista for a while, but at this moment, the white-bearded Gula laughed for a while and said, "Okay, let's get to this day's competition. There will be a chance in the future!"
Whitebeard knew very well that if he let go of his hands and feet and fight with all his strength, Bista might not be able to beat Yian, but Yian was useless except for swordsmanship, so Baihu also saw that Yian wanted to challenge Bista and seek breakthroughs in swordsmanship.
He just wanted to accept Yian as his son, but was rejected. Baibei was still a little unhappy, so he took advantage of this time to trick Yian into a small pit.
