Chapter 392: Battle against Iaido

The literature of the word "kendo" comes from "Wu Yue Chun Qiu". During the Han Dynasty, China and Japan had exchanges in weapons and smelting and casting technology. At the same time, China's two-handed swordsmanship passed down to Japan during the Sui and Tang Dynasties through non-governmental exchanges between the Korean Peninsula, the coastal surrounding areas of the mainland and the Japanese archipelago.
The sword technique passed to Japan has evolved over the years of war and has become more flexible, more direct, and more brutal and effective. Even in the modern cold weapon combat, this kind of kendo technology still has the power that cannot be underestimated.
Sneaker's movements are entirely from Japanese Kendo. Lin Rui is not familiar with this kind of fighting technique, but he heard something from his fighting coach Tang Lin during the training camp in West Siberia. So Lin Rui looked at Sneaker cautiously.
What he held in his hand was the arrow of the previous Indian archer, not only shorter than the stick in Sneaker's hand, but also more fragile. Lin Rui basically used it as a dagger in his hand, and could only stab, not cut like a real dagger.
Sneaker snarled angrily and rushed forward. His kendo was instructed by an allergic master, and he used Iaido's starting hand style, which is commonly known as kendo starting hand. The original Iahe swordsmanship only included the three basic movements of drawing a sword, stab, and oblique cutting. After hundreds of years of continuous refinement and innovation, the Iahe swordsmanship has expanded to ten moves today, which is commonly referred to as The "Juhe Shishi".
But the essence of Juhe swordsmanship lies in the first blow when drawing a sword. When he stepped forward, the wooden stick in his hand had already pierced in front of Lin Rui. Even Lin Rui was taken aback by Sneaker's action, because the action was extremely fast and there was no warning in advance.
Generally in close combat, experienced people will stare at the opponent's shoulders, because no matter how the arm moves, the shoulders always move before the arms. This is determined by human physiology and is generally difficult to change.
And this Ihedao sword drawing technique was famous in ancient times, and its strange thing is that it shot very quickly, almost moving with the footsteps. As soon as he moved, the wooden stick in his hand had already pierced Lin Rui's face. Lin Rui faintly flashed, and Sneaker's stick raised up as a vigorously downward chop!
The wooden stick slashed down at an oblique force of forty-five degrees. This is called cassock cut in Iaido swordsmanship. It is extremely powerful and extremely fast. Lin Rui put the arrow in his hand on his forearm, raised his hand to block, and took the blow hard. The blow at that time was so powerful that Lin Rui was almost knocked down to the ground.
The arrow in Lin Rui's hand was originally cut from a tree branch. It was used to stabbing and barely okay. It was used to resist the smashing of the wooden stick. He was knocked off on the spot and let go. Lin Rui secretly said that it was not good, and immediately rolled and avoided.
Sneaker sneered and followed a step, the wooden stick in his hand swept across Lin Rui's waist. In desperation, Lin Rui could only take a step back.
This Sneaker's fighting skills were a little beyond his imagination, and he was obviously a master with comprehensive skills and rich experience. He looked at Lin Rui with a sneer, "How about it? Don't you want to try my skills? Come on."
Lin Rui stared at Snack and said solemnly, "The technique is really good, but it's not worthy of pride. After all, the outcome is unclear."
"Well, I'll let you see what is the victory or defeat!" Sneaker improved his club, making an extremely tricky abdominal punch. Lin Rui was caught off guard from being stabbed by the tip of the stick, and a sting made him bend over slightly.
Sneaker immediately turned around, and the wooden stick swept Lin Rui's waist horizontally. Lin Rui's eyes moved, he has been waiting for this opportunity. He once heard Tang Lin say that the most effective technique to deal with Iaido swordsmanship is no sword. A new Yinryu kendo technique originated from Yanagyu in the late Warring States period. The essence of Liu Shengxin Yinliu is "take without a sword", that is, to control an opponent who has a sword with your bare hands. In fact, it is what China usually calls "empty swords."
Because Iaido swordsmanship is to use the sword, and without a sword, it is to attack the body. It pays to get close to the opponent at the fastest speed, so that the opponent cannot swing a long sword at close range, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the distance with the short hand. .
Naturally, Lin Rui didn't know what to do without a sword, but he knew a little about the hand-to-hand short shots. So he took the opportunity to rush forward before Sneaker swung his knife, got into Sneaker's arms, and put the two in a very close position. Suddenly twisted his body and exerted strength, and suddenly hit an elbow upward.
It hit Sneaker's face heavily, and the stick that was more than one meter in Snike's hand couldn't be swung at such a close distance. In an emergency, this elbow suddenly smashed a full face. The hard elbow smashed on the weak face, almost immediately broken. The bridge of his nose broke when it collided with the tip of his elbow. Tears and nose almost all came up.
Without losing the opportunity, Lin Rui hit his abdomen with a fist, hitting Sneaker several steps back before he could stand firm. But when he wanted to pursue it again, Sneaker had recovered from the panic of being hit, and raised his hand to force him away with the wooden stick in his hand. The two fell into a confrontation again.
"Damn it, Sneaker, what are you waiting for. Kill this Chinese!" Beast Johnson roared.
Sneaker touched his nose and spit out blood. Staring at Lin Rui and shouting, "Come again!"
Lin Rui remained silent, but just adjusted his pace to put himself in the most flexible dodge state. Then he shook his body provocatively and shouted, "Come on, I will kill you even with my bare hands!" He knew that he had been lucky just now, but he failed to win the pursuit and cause greater results. If you want to get closer to the defensive Sneaker again, you can only deliberately anger him and let him expose his flaws. Just a critical flaw and a surprise attack to seize the opportunity. Can knock down the opponent.
Sneaker screamed wildly, and the whole person rushed forward, slamming the wooden stick in his hand at Lin Rui frantically. But even in the frenzy of anger, he maintained a standard fighting pace. This is a habit he has been trained for many years, and his emotions can fluctuate, but his footwork and technique can't fluctuate at all. In order to do this, he had been beaten many times under the wooden sword of a famous kendo master with a black and swollen face.
He was convinced that he could kill the cunning Chinese with the stick in his hand.
Facing the howling stick, Lin Rui's spirit was highly concentrated. He knew that this might be the final battle. If he fell under Sneaker's stick, he would lose not only this game, but also his life.
Because Sneaker and Johnson will never let themselves survive until the end of the game. They were instructed by Joe to get rid of themselves and Zhao Jianfei and others in this event. So he cannot lose, nor can he afford to lose.
