Qu Yi had just drunk a lot of wine and felt his eyes were a little blurry. He suddenly raised his palms and slapped himself hard in the face.
With a snap, Qu Yi felt his ears buzzing, his face swelled up on both sides, and the corners of his mouth were cracked.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and felt his mind become much clearer. He stretched out his foot and hooked the halberd on the ground, which flew up flatly. Qu Yi suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the halberd handle tightly.
He then lifted up his left hand and held the halberd steadily with both hands, with the tip of the halberd pointing diagonally upwards. At the same time, he stepped to the side with his front foot, and suddenly stopped like the moon standing in the abyss, facing Lu Bu from a distance.
He felt like he was facing a formidable enemy at this moment, realizing that his physical strength had declined significantly, while Lu Bu was at the peak of his prime. Even if the opponent used one hand, it would be extremely difficult for him to deal with him.
Seeing that the curved halberd pole moved diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, blocking most of his possible attacks, Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Brilliant!"
As soon as he finished saying these two words, his body moved instantly!
Lu Bu turned sideways, and the long spear in his hand slashed downward rapidly, turned half a circle, and came behind Lu Bu!
When Qu Yi saw this, he subconsciously rushed forward, but it was too late. Lu Bu spun his body, causing his halberd to draw a large circle of three meters in radius, and whistled towards Qu Yi's waist!
This move used all of Lu Bu's strength to spin. In just a moment, Qu Yi saw the tip of the halberd appear at his waist, and it was too late to dodge!
He gritted his teeth, grasped the middle part of the halberd, and put the halberd tips against each other. There was a loud ding sound, and the two halberds collided, sending out large sparks, and Qu Yi was forced to take two steps back.
He raised his head suddenly and his face changed drastically.
Lu Bu's halberd was also bounced back, but he used the recoil force to fly horizontally. The halberd moved from horizontal to vertical, made a circle, and chopped down from top to bottom. The halberd shaft moved the air, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder!
Qu Yi raised the halberd handle, and the two weapons met again. This time, Qu Yi's halberd handle bent into a bow shape and was hit and bounced to the side.
Lu Bu's halberd also deviated from its direction, brushing past Qu Yi's side and slashing across the bluestone ground, sending gravel flying and leaving a mark about an inch deep and several feet long!
Lu Bu twisted his body, and his arms suddenly expanded and exerted force, stabbing the long halberd like a spear, towards Qu Yi's face!
These three moves were so swift and agile as thunder and wind that they were breathtaking. Lü Lingqi, who was standing nearby, had cold sweat on her palms. Only then did she understand why Lü Bu didn't teach her how to use the halberd.
Because this halberd method requires desperate efforts in every move, there is no way I can learn it. Even if I could imitate it, I don't have Lu Bu's physique and can't use such dangerous moves!
There was another loud noise, and the two soldiers fought. Qu Yi retreated again and again. Lu Bu laughed and turned around, "Dezhou, do you want to admit defeat?"
"At first, you were very tough and wanted to compete with me in strength, but now you don't dare to do it?"
Seeing that Lu Bu's halberd was sweeping towards him again, Qu Yi lowered his shoulders and stretched out his halberd like a snake, hitting Lu Bu's halberd.
The next moment, Qu Yi twisted his hand, hooked the tip of Lu Bu's halberd with the tip of his halberd, took a leap, and pulled hard in the direction of Lu Bu's force!
Caught off guard, the halberd in Lu Bu's hand almost slipped out. Shocked, he quickly exerted force with his five fingers, and this time Qu Yi prevented it from being snatched away.
He was mostly sober by now and broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that Qu Yi, who had fought his opponent to the death with hard horses in the past, would actually start to use clever tricks?
Seeing that he had lost the initiative, Lu Bu shook his arm violently, trying to knock away the opponent's halberd. However, Qu Yi would not miss this opportunity and followed Lu Bu's strength to drag him back and forth.
At this time, the two halberds were entangled together, one was like a dragon emerging from the sea, the other was like a python emerging from a cave, one was strong enough to pull up a mountain and dominate the world, the other was twisting and rolling to move the rivers and seas, one was brute force, the other was cleverness. This was a game of chess where they met evenly matched people, and the back and forth was very lively.
Lu Bu felt that Qu Yi's halberd was stuck to his halberd like taffy, and he couldn't get rid of it after trying more than a dozen attempts. Finally, Qu Yi simply used all his strength to pull the halberd and started circling around Lu Bu.
This move completely resolved Lu Bu's continuous offensive. Lu Bu felt as if he had escaped from a running bull. Although he could still control it, he could not let go. If his halberd was taken away, it would mean that he had lost!
Lu Bu was furious that Qu Yi was so cunning. He was at a disadvantage due to one careless move and could not make a comeback!
Seeing that if this continued, both sides would simply be wasting their energy, he roared and actually followed the force of Qu Yi pulling him, taking big strides and pushing his halberd towards Qu Yi!
Qu Yi took a look and cursed inwardly. The close combat between the two sides was extremely dangerous. Did Lu Bu want to fight him to the death?
Without thinking, he grasped the upper end of the halberd with both hands and used it as a short halberd.
This grip greatly increased his strength. With a slight effort, he was able to deflect Lü Bu's halberd, with the tip of the halberd brushing past his cheek.
How could Qu Yi miss this opportunity? He took a step forward and rushed into Lu Bu's arms!
When Lu Bu saw that his halberd missed, he felt something was wrong, so he pulled back and stabbed the tip of the halberd back, hooking it towards the back of Qu Yi's neck.
Qu Yi quickened his pace and rushed straight towards Lu Bu without any hesitation!
Seeing this, Lu Bu had no choice but to step back repeatedly, pulling his arms back faster, determined to hook Qu Yi!
With this step forward and back, the two men circled in the yard. With their long legs and big steps, they turned several circles in an instant.
Yan Shi could not see the danger, but Lu Lingqi almost cried out in shock. She understood that neither of them could stop now, and whoever was slower would be in danger of his life!
It was the first time she saw Lu Bu being pushed to such a point!
Although Lu Bu was good at horse combat but weak at foot combat, how come this guy named Qu Yi was so familiar with foot combat and halberd techniques?
Isn't halberd fighting usually practiced on horseback?
Thinking of this, Lu Lingqi felt a little disappointed. Although she rode horses occasionally, she was not allowed to show her face in public most of the time and could only ride the horse in the yard to satisfy her pleasure.
Therefore, her halberd skills were all used in foot combat. Perhaps it was for this reason that Lu Bu felt that there was no point in teaching her real halberd skills on horseback.
But Qu Yi's pace and response gave Lu Lingqi a refreshing feeling. She suddenly realized that even if she was not as strong as the opponent, she could still find a chance to win if she played to her strengths and avoided her weaknesses!
Lu Bu was completely sober by now. He knew that if he walked backwards, he would lose the competition if he took a wrong step!
Thinking of this, he made up his mind, pretended to be vulnerable, slipped, and his body suddenly tilted.
Qu Yi subconsciously used his halberd to hook towards Lu Bu's other foot, but Lu Bu leaped forward, turned around and pounced on Qu Yi, stepping on the halberd!
Qu Yi's halberd was restrained, but seeing that Lu Bu was about to swing the halberd again, he knew that he had to stop the opponent's attack at this time, so he threw away the halberd, pounced into Lu Bu's arms, and grabbed Lu Bu's collar with both hands.
Lu Bu subconsciously threw away his halberd, grabbed Qu Yi's arms with both hands, tripped him, and swung Qu Yi sideways!
Lu Bu roared, turned around, lifted Qu Yi high up, and was about to throw him to the ground!
Then he suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had used both hands!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu's hands trembled, and he put Qu Yi down, saying unnaturally: "Dezhou forced me to use both hands, and I was one step behind."
Qu Yi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Wen Hou only said to use the halberd with one hand, but did not say whether it is one-handed or two-handed, so how can there be a difference?"
This was to give Lu Bu a way out. Qu Yi really couldn't beat Lu Bu with two hands, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to use two hands to wrestle, otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated by one move.
The two men looked at each other and laughed, then returned to their seats hand in hand and ordered people to pour wine and started drinking.
Only then did Lu Lingqi feel relieved. Just now, Lu Bu and Qu Yi had fought for dozens of moves, each of which was dangerous. If they were not careful, their bones would be broken, and their stomachs would be ripped open. Lu Lingqi was secretly sweating.
Fortunately, it ended amicably in the end. Lu Lingqi was delighted. Until just now, she understood what a battle between masters was like!
Before, she had been foolishly mobilizing her breath and strength and making moves in a methodical manner. However, today she realized that moves are dead, but people are alive. Only those who can adapt to circumstances and do everything possible are masters!
Just like that day, Yin Hu clearly couldn't beat him, but he relied on despicable and vulgar moves to suppress him. It was obviously an unfair victory, but it must be said that the other party was the one who knew how to fight!
Now I have realized it. Next time I see Yin Hu, I will use the same method against him. I will surely make him kneel down and beg for mercy!
However, Lu Lingqi was also a little discouraged. Yinhu must have never practiced martial arts. He looked like a despicable villain who only knew how to use dirty tricks. But Lu Bu and Qu Yi were different.
Every move they made was filled with an unyielding murderous aura. Lu Lingqi thought that if she were to face either of them, she would be killed on the spot within three moves.
She thought to herself, is this the difference after having been on the battlefield?
Maybe I will never be able to reach this level in my lifetime?
Yan Shi, however, was completely unaware of the danger that had just occurred. Seeing that Lü Bu and Qu Yi were talking happily, she whispered to Lü Lingqi, "Look at how dangerous it is for men to fight and kill. What if something happens to them?"
"The ideal husband you find in the future must not go to war. It is best for him to be in the government, a high-ranking official, or even higher. This is the right way."
"You should practice less martial arts in the future, so as not to be criticized by others for our Lu family's style."
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi agreed awkwardly.
She suddenly felt a little depressed in the mansion. Was she going to get married, take care of her husband and children, and then stay in the mansion for the rest of her life?
I really want to see what the world outside looks like.
But I'm afraid this wish will never come true again?
Over there, Lu Bu and Qu Yi got along better and better as they talked. They disassembled the previous halberd moves one by one, and finally found that the responses of both sides were actually the best options at the time.
Lu Bu couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What a joy! I haven't had such a joyful fight in a long time!"
"My men and I were sparring, and neither of us was happy. Only Texas was skilled and brave enough to fight me like this!"
He held the wine cup in his hand and suddenly stared at Qu Yi and said, "Texas!"
"You lied to me!"
"Your halberd skills have improved a lot. You don't look like a bodyguard for someone who hasn't been on the battlefield for a few years!"
"Tell me honestly where have you been these past few years!"
Qu Yi sobered up a lot, he didn't expect that Lu Bu could see his flaw from here!
