Act Seventy-Two: The King of the Underworld (The First Update, Asking for Tickets on the Last Day and Asking for the Guarantee for the Next Month)
In terms of strength alone, Brando believes that the strongest of the opponents should be Buga, followed by Tayster, and finally Alberton and his grandfather. But if you are ranked according to the swordsmanship, I am afraid that his grandfather and Buga will be at the top, and Alberton will be close behind, and Tester will only be at the bottom.
He had fought with Tester once, and knew that the opponent's swordsmanship was characterized by speed, but speed needed physical attributes to support. The Nightmare Arena rule is arguably the most restrictive for Tayster.
Brando glanced around at the four opponents and had already decided to start with the weakest link of the four, but even so, the situation was not optimistic.
However, once the Destiny Arena chooses to challenge, there is no way to give up halfway, and Brando knows that he can only give it a go.
There was silence in the gladiatorial arena, and outside, the audience, all realized that Brando's situation was not good, with one against four, and the opponents were not weak or even very strong, even fools could see that it was not good.
Curran was banging on the wall of air, but he froze for a moment. He just put himself in his shoes, and couldn't help but think that he might not be able to please himself if he went up. That old fellow from Tobbs alone was enough to knock him out ten times.
He can only think like this, hoping that the old guy can see that the other party is his grandson, and can show mercy to his subordinates. But then again, he knew it was just a projection of this strange place.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, one of the teenagers shouted. Everyone saw that Viscount Tayster, who was behind Brando, was the first to move, and his speed was not fast, but the route he chose was very clever, just in a place where Brando could not see at all. But the off-site reminder was just right.
The corner of Brando's eyes moved slightly, and the sword was turned behind him, allowing Viscount Tester to stab his sword with a "ding", and with a thud, it slid away from the spine of his sword. The first contact made Brando feel that the threat of the other party was lower than he imagined, and without the suppression of his original strength, this Viscount's swordsmanship seemed to be nothing more than that.
It's about the same level as a level 34 player at the beginning of the game.
Test's whole body slid forward with the sword, and Brando's right hand leaned out and slapped away from the viscount's hand. Then he leaned back, and hit the underside of the opponent's arm with his backhand, right under the armpit of Viscount Test, and directly pushed him out.
Brando turned to pursue, but Alberton, with cyan phosphorus fire burning in his eyes, stopped in front of him. At the same time, Buga in the back also arrived.
"Good fellows." Brando cursed in his heart, he didn't dare to fight these two people one after the other, it was simply self-defeating: just a quick stop to avoid Alberton's slash, and then immediately rolled to the side to open up the distance between the two.
The white knight obviously didn't appreciate it, and the undead knight's sword was horizontal and vertical, and then a bunch of cross-shaped sword winds had swept towards Brando.
The cross slash in the swordsmanship of the Madara Undead Battle Array pursues power and speed, because it is a rare long-range attack, so it is used as a pursuit, Brando of course knows this, he rolls backwards while pressing his hand on the ground, and the whole person rotates 270 degrees around the fulcrum, just avoiding a sword that is fatal for many people.
The sword wind brought up by the cross sword slashed out and hit the ground, raising a cloud of dust. But Brando didn't have the heart to see how powerful Alberton's sword was, because the ghostly undead knight caught up with him again.
The young man couldn't bear it anymore, he half-crouched on the ground and raised his long sword, and when he grabbed Alberton's immediate sword, he tried to fight back with the help of the reaction force on the ground. It's a pity that the accumulated killing intent didn't have time to erupt, and a heavy giant sword from the slash killed turned his intention into a nullity, it was Buga's sword.
At this moment, Brando deeply felt the helplessness of being one enemy and many enemies, and he was now in a situation where he could not advance or retreat, parrying Alberton's attack from above, and the sword next to him was really unavoidable.
The danger of the situation at that moment even caused many people on the edge of the arena to cover their mouths and let out silent exclamations.
To most people, it seemed that young people had no choice but to abandon their swords and retreat.
But what about after the sword? Surrounded by four people, it was still a big question whether they could take the sword back again.
Brando's counterattack was beyond everyone's expectations.
He didn't abandon his sword and retreated, because he hadn't forgotten that he still had three swords hanging from his waist: Brando's right hand was raised high, his left hand was turned away, and one of them was drawn. However, the strength of the left hand is not as strong as the right hand after all, although Buga's giant sword was interfered with, it still brushed the young man's cheek and slashed over, and Brando immediately felt a cold pain on one side of his cheek.
"Damn, I don't hit people in the face" He scolded in his heart.
Scolding and scolding, Brando's movements were not slow at all. Buga's sword was only zero after passing by, and in a few seconds, the young man immediately used the reaction force to break through a bunch of frontal frontal forces and act at the same time as the power burst, Brando lifted forward and burst out with terrifying power to directly break through Alberton's defense, pushing it with his sword and flying out.
It's a pity that charging is not swordsmanship, otherwise Brando knew that he would have the best chance to pursue, and of course it looked like Alberton was falling into the sand, and Buga had not had time to close the momentum with a sword stab.
Ordinary people might choose to do so, but Brando is not. One of the guiding ideologies of Madara's military swordsmanship is to exchange injuries for casualties, and the spirits are desperate to come over, which is really fatal, and of course they didn't have a life in the first place.
Sure enough, Brando showed a slight forward posture, and as soon as Alberton landed, he immediately gave up his defense and slashed at Brando with a backhand sword, and the sword wind broke through the air, but unfortunately the young man had already taken precautions, and he was just deceiving when he moved forward, and as soon as the undead knight moved his hand, he immediately turned his back and turned to avoid this sword.
However, it was not only Alberton who was deceived, but also Buga. As soon as Brando moved forward, Alberton was exposed to his sword momentum, and Buga was surprised by the other party's radicalism, but he didn't dare to hesitate at all, put his hands on the sword, and with the help of the strength of his waist and abdomen and centrifugal force, he turned his head around the blade that stabbed forward, and swept back with a backhand sword.
He aimed at Brando's back.
"What a whirlwind slash." Brando's heart was not surprised, he was waiting for this sword. In Buga's school of swordsmanship, this sword is the only one that can quickly turn around and attack him, and Brando, who is very clear about the opponent's attack routine, calculates Alberton from the beginning, but the real trap is prepared for this big man.
He leaped high.
Buga looked up in horror, he was not a raw hand, and as soon as Brando moved, he understood that the young man's calculations were placed on him. But at this moment, after his continuous change of direction, his center of gravity has already fallen on a delicate balance point, as long as he changes direction slightly, he may fall, in other words, he is powerless against Brando's next attack now. Not far from him, Alberton fell to the ground, and Tester was just about to get up.
The situation is irreversible.
Brando's whole body crossed a beautiful arc in mid-air, and at that moment he crossed over Buga's head, forming two people opposite Buga in a handstand. The young man's hand was on the hilt of the sword, and he stood upside down in mid-air, making a gesture of drawing his sword and hurting people, and it was frozen in that moment for a while.
&nbā's chaotic sword fight took place in a very short moment, almost within the range of the body, you and I came and went so fast that it was impossible to see clearly, but when they saw the situation in the next moment: Brando had reversed the previous unfavorable situation and was ready to slash the opponent.
Especially for those teenagers who don't understand much, this is even more legendary than the thrilling stories told by the bards in the bar, full of a sense of the tragedy of the Jedi counterattack.
But the plot doesn't always develop as one might think.
Just when even Brando himself thought he was in the driver's seat, he suddenly heard a terrifying thud from behind him, the sound of the blade being swung like a whip, slicing through the air at breakneck speed.
Brando's scalp tingled, and of course he knew who it was.
Of course, he could continue his attack, and nine times out of ten, a sword pierced Buga's throat. But in the same way, he was sure that his grandfather would cut himself in two with a sword.
It was clearly not a good deal, and Brando had no choice but to collect it in mid-air.
He spun around, his right hand once more back. The indestructible attribute brought by the spatial element to the long sword saved his life, and his grandfather's sword whip made a loud tooth ache when it slammed on his sword, and the huge power was transmitted to his hand through the blade, making Brando feel like his hand was going to be broken at that moment, but he was not split in two, but was thrown away from afar. Brando rolled a few laps in mid-air and landed on the ground, and he looked up to see Buga lose his weight and fall to the ground after the whirlwind slash, and the towering figure like a mountain stood silently in front of him.
"Oh," the teenagers let out a sad sigh.
"Strangely, Buga is a little weaker than rumored to be." Yuta, on the other hand, saw that something was wrong. Akane's mind was all on Brando, and she didn't listen to this, but at the same time, the old swordsman on the other side of the gladiatorial arena had the same idea.
"Why doesn't Tobbs look so strong?" The old man frowned.
But in fact, their doubts were very easy to answer, and at this moment Brando himself had the answer in his own heart. That's because these people are all impressions in his heart, except for Alberton, he has not fought with the other three people in life and death, and if he has no experience of life and death, he will naturally not see the strongest side of the opponent's swordsmanship.
But even so, the current situation is also a headache for Brando. He had to be disappointed to find that his previous attack had actually had no effect in the end.
Instead, the body is consumed.
