Bista is actually an uncle. He has been in the New World with Whitebeard more than 20 years ago, and he is probably in his thirties now, and he is about to run four.
However, this uncle looks very particular. He always wears a top hat, a suit and a cape, and has a curvy and neat gentleman mustache. From time to time, he will use his white-gloved fingers to gently twist his beard.
He maintained his usual smiling expression, stood opposite Ian, and lifted his cloak, revealing the two long swords slung around his left waist.
Bista's weapon is actually a bit strange. His hilt is actually wrapped with a handguard. It is the kind of hilt of a common Western rapier, but his blade is not slender and sharp, but rather The single-edged samurai sword-like blade does not have a thick back like ordinary sailor swords.
Such a unique shape can be said to be a combination of several styles of weapons, so after Vista pulled out the sword, Ian has been paying attention to his weapon, and couldn't help but ask: "What is your sword?" , wouldn’t it be one of the famous knives?”
"Of course! This is one of the twenty-one swords!" Bista smiled and said, "The name of the sword is 'Huabu'! Where's your sword?"
"Mine?" Ian looked at the knife in front of him and introduced, "This is Senbon Sakura..."
"Sure enough!" Vista laughed and said, "I saw the battle between you and the yellow ape in the air from a long distance away, and the cherry blossom petals flying all over the sky made my heart move too!"
"Uh..." Ian didn't know what to say for a moment. When Vista mentioned it, Ian suddenly realized that when Vista made the foil sword, it seemed like the same petals were flying all over the sky. coming
Waiting for his sparring with Bista, it won't turn into that kind of beautiful art movie plot...
"Be careful!" Seeing that he was distracted, Vista reminded him aloud that he was already holding swords in both hands and was ready to attack.
Ian also came back to his senses, holding the scabbard in his left hand, resting on the handle of the knife with his right hand, squatting down slightly, ready to strike at any time.
According to Ian's estimate, Foil Vesta should also be an opponent at the level of a great swordsman. How can I put it this way? From the time I went to sea to now, the only great swordsman Ian has ever faced is Vista. The opponents are not good at swordsmanship, which is probably the reason why Ian's swordsmanship has not improved for a long time.
At this time, the exchange between the two really looked like a duel between two swordsmen. Ian adjusted his breathing according to the way Leili taught him, while the muscles all over his body were tense. Yes, the easiest posture is to guard against Vista, and the same is true for Vista. His two foil swords are slightly crossed in front of his chest. This is the posture he only adopts when facing enemies who are more important.
Although they haven't made a move yet, in fact, the domineering arrogance of the two has already unfolded, and they are fully aware of the opponent's every move. At this time, the field is silent, and the crowd onlookers dare not show their atmosphere, for fear of disturbing the duel between the two. .
At this moment, the white beard who had been watching was suddenly a little unhappy, and sneezed violently.
And with this sound, Ian and Vista moved at the same time! When Ian jumped forward, his right hand landed on Qianben Sakura's sword hilt, and with unparalleled speed, he slashed at Vista in front of him.
However, Vista stood beside Ian's attack with a sword in one hand, and then the sword in the other hand also struck Ian's shoulder at the same speed as lightning. The sword stabs.
As he swung his sword, red petals appeared in the air. Ian didn't know whether it was a special sword skill or an illusion. After the field sensed Vista's attack direction, Ian immediately made a wrong step, and his shoulder swayed, avoiding Vista's stabbing attack.
Then he let go and swung the knife upwards, slashing towards Vista, who swung the knife with one hand violently, knocked off Ian's blade with strength, and then pointed the sword in the other hand at Yian. Ann unleashes a super-fast streak of thrusts.
Vista is a two-knife swordsmanship, but what Ian lacks most is the experience of fighting two-swords swordsmanship. When he was in Frost Moon Village, Sauron was a two-swords style when he sparred with Sauron.
Two-handed swordsmanship has a characteristic, that is, the victory lies in the tricky attack. After all, it has one more weapon than the opponent. While parrying and blocking, it can also counterattack at any time. However, holding a sword with one hand will be stronger than two-handed Holding the sword is lacking, so the general two-sword swordsmanship relies on skill and speed to win.
Ian is also not lacking in speed. It is different from the previous battle with Fossa. At that time, Fossa's attack went straight, so Ian also used his strength to fight against him. When fighting with Vista, Ian used His own speed has also been brought into play. Although he only has one sword, Ian's soft wrist and pace, which he has cultivated through years of sword practice, match his speed, and he is not inferior to Vista's two-sword style at all.
Surrounding the two were the large number of petals that Vista brought out when he attacked, and there was a fragrance in the air. No wonder Vista had the nickname "Foil Sword". His swordsmanship was indeed full of Elegance and beauty.
The two fought fast, constantly changing their positions, and fought into a group. The onlookers, who were weaker at this time, could no longer see the moves of the two of them. They only felt that their weapons had turned into one Dao streamer, dazzling.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them couldn't count how many times they had fought. Vista's sword skills are very powerful, but Ian is also proficient in basic sword skills and can deal with all kinds of sword moves of Vista.
However, when fighting against Vista, Ian found that he was indeed much stronger than Fossa's swordsmanship. Vista's shots would often attack Ian'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 knows that if the fight continues, maybe after a thousand moves, he may be defeated.
Vista's vision in swordsmanship is much higher than Ian's. Anyway, Vista is also so much older than Ian, and he has encountered many more swordsmanship masters than Ian.
Ian also thought about whether to use Qianben Sakura Shijie to gain faster strength and speed to fight Vista, but he discarded this idea as soon as it came up.
He is very clear that the bottleneck in his swordsmanship is not related to speed and strength, but a qualitative understanding of swordsmanship. If he wants to break through this hurdle, then Ian must rely on his own swordsmanship to deal with Vista's attack just work.
So, he gritted his teeth and continued to fight against Vista. Vista has been looking for flaws in his attacks, so he can make his moves more perfect...
During the fight, Vista naturally noticed Ian's changes and progress, so he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
When he watched the battle between Ian and Fossa before, he actually discovered Ian's situation. Ian's swordsmanship does not lack foundation, speed and strength, but vision requires the accumulation of experience. These are small problems , so the reason why Vista agreed to discuss with Ian was to see if he could help him and help him realize the key.
"Pay attention!" Vista yelled out loudly while slapping his name.
Ian was already concentrating on fighting him, but after being reminded by him, his attention was even more focused than ever before.
However, the next second when Bista slashed at Ian with his sword, something went wrong with Ian!
He found that he didn't know how to dodge Vista's sword! Bista's sword looks ordinary, logically speaking, Ian can dodge whatever he wants, but what Ian didn't expect is that several dodging plans that flashed through his mind were given to him. A feeling of "can't hide"!
To be cut! This was the only premonition that Yi'an's body cells gave him. When he found Vista's sword, it seemed to lock him completely!
It's troublesome to describe, but it's actually just a split second. Ian obviously sensed Vista's movements through the force field, but in the end he seemed to be stunned, and was instantly slashed by Vista.
Of course, Vista used the back of the knife, and this was just a sparring, not a life-and-death confrontation. After the back of the knife was cut on Ian's shoulder, Vista and Ian passed by at the same time.
Ian was sweating profusely, not because he was tired, but because of the danger he felt from Vista's attack at that moment just now.
After hitting Ian, Vista stopped temporarily. Ian turned around, ignored the burning pain in his shoulder, and asked Vista, "What's going on? Why couldn't I dodge at that moment just now? You did something to me?"
Bista twirled his beard, and said: "Actually, I can't describe it well. If I have to find an adjective...it is that you were locked in by my aura before!"
"Momentum!? Locked!?" Ian chewed these two words repeatedly, and then combined with his feeling at that moment just now, to experience it in detail.
He felt as if he had faintly felt some pulse...
He originally wanted to continue fighting with Vista for a while longer, but at this moment, the white beard Gula laughed for a while and said: "Okay, let's stop here for today's discussion, let's compete. There will be opportunities in the future!"
White Beard knows very well that if he fights with all his strength, Vista may not be able to defeat Ian, but this kid Ian has no ability except swordsmanship, so Baihu can also see that this kid Ian He wants to seek a breakthrough in swordsmanship by challenging Vista.
Just now he wanted to accept Ian as his son, but was rejected, White Beard was still a little upset, so he took advantage of this moment to trick Ian a little.
If you want to break through, just wait a few days obediently...
