Chapter 40: Not Bad
The long saber was less than an inch away from the youth!
Liu Chen’s expression shifted.
The person before him was the young lady of the Lu Clan’s guard, and someone highly regarded by General Yun. If he died here, how could the Liu Clan give an accounting for it?
He stepped forward, his true qi surging.
“Liu Song, have you gone mad?!”
Liu Xu’s rapier also thrust directly toward the pair of sabers.
In that instant, Gu Shiyi finally moved.
He leaned forward along the path of the long saber, dodging the fast blade.
Liu Song sneered; the next strike was the slow blade!
As the short saber flashed outward, Gu Shiyi actually paused for a moment!
Only when the short saber swept toward his waist did he begin to move.
Liu Song was startled, increasing the force in his hands by thirty percent.
A coincidence!
Don’t think you can dodge the next blade too!
This time was the fast-fast blade!
Gu Shiyi lightly dodged twice.
This time was the slow-slow blade!
……
The psychological mind game was incredibly complex, but the actual swings took place in a span of mere breaths.
Within two breaths, Gu Shiyi had dodged all nineteen fast and slow strikes.
“How could…”
Liu Song squatted on the ground, holding his two sabers with absentminded eyes.
Gu Shiyi’s rhythmically tapping footsteps made his head ache painfully.
Arriving at the courtyard gate, the youth suddenly turned back, looking at Liu Chen with a half-smile.
Following his gaze, Liu Chen looked down at his own stepped-forward foot; his shoe was sunk deep into the earth, a step imbued with powerful true qi.
