Chapter 119 Dueling with Miyakawa Meishin

The map was a modern city. Xu Jingming and the other nine descended in various locations.

Whoosh!

Miyakawa Meishin leaped from one building to another. After a few jumps, he arrived at the top of the tallest residential building in the area. His gaze swept in all directions, searching for Xu Jingming’s figure.

Soon, Miyakawa Meishin spotted Xu Jingming on an empty street in the distance. Xu Jingming had already appeared there and was also looking around, locking onto Miyakawa Meishin on the rooftop.

"Whoosh." Miyakawa Meishin jumped down, lightly descending from the top of the 80-meter-tall residential building. He even borrowed strength from the wall of the opposite residential building, before landing with his knees slightly bent to dissipate the impact. Although the ground shook, Miyakawa Meishin didn't care about the impact.

Whoosh!

After landing, Miyakawa Meishin transformed into a phantom, heading straight for Xu Jingming's location.

…

On the street, Xu Jingming stood still and waited silently. Soon, he saw a ghostly figure appear at a distant corner. With two flashes, it had already closed in from over a hundred meters away.

The ghostly figure stopped. It was Miyakawa Meishin. He stared at Xu Jingming as if the only opponent in the world was the one before him.

Xu Jingming reached out and took out a pair of shields from his back, holding one in each hand.

"Shields?" Miyakawa Meishin frowned. "Xu Jingming, you want to use shields to fight me?"

"I participated in two global tournaments. I used spearmanship in the last one, and I want to use shield techniques in this one." Xu Jingming looked at Miyakawa Meishin. "What's wrong? Do you think you can beat my shield techniques?"

"Hmph." Miyakawa Meishin snorted coldly, his eyes turning colder.

This Xia countryman was so arrogant; he would force him to abandon his shields and switch to a spear.

"Let's see what you've got." Miyakawa Meishin moved, transforming into a ghostly afterimage and pouncing straight at Xu Jingming. The moment he closed in, he instantly drew his swords!

A Battōjutsu! (sword-drawing technique)

Moreover, it was dual swords! Dual-sword Battōjutsu could produce many variations. For example, Miyakawa Meishin's staggered sword draws could naturally change the second strike based on how the enemy blocked the first.

"Boom!" Xu Jingming suddenly charged forward, slamming his shields directly forward as if two planets were smashing out.

Using clumsiness to overcome skill!

No matter how exquisite your dual-sword Battōjutsu is, two shields are enough to block a large area of space. Crushing you is actually advantageous.

"Hmm?" Faced with the shields' crushing force, Miyakawa Meishin's sword light was incredibly gentle when it collided with one shield. With a flash, he had already dodged more than ten meters away, his expression extremely solemn.

"Xu Jingming's past shield techniques used Xia country's Bajiquan as its core, violent and fierce. But the shield strike just now... felt like two vast planets were crushing over. Even heavier, with an even greater sense of oppression." Miyakawa Meishin sensed the terror of Xu Jingming's shield techniques as soon as they exchanged blows.

"Dodge?"

Xu Jingming glanced at him, took a step, and transformed into a dark-red afterimage as he charged over. Once Xu Jingming's footwork moved, his whole body had a sense of flowing light; it was very smooth and swift.

This was the footwork foundation of the Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique, the fourth-order footwork that had been broken through.

"So fast." Miyakawa Meishin flashed.

"Bang!" The shield passed through Miyakawa Meishin's afterimage and slammed into the wall. The concrete wall directly exploded, creating a huge pit. Xu Jingming's feet moved again, and he charged out, his shields like two planets, smashing out again and again! Chasing after Miyakawa Meishin to smash him!

No matter how profound your sword techniques are, I'll just smash! Smashing at your sword techniques!

Every shield smash was terrifying. The cement and steel bars were smashed to pieces, and the flying stones were like cannonballs, demonstrating the ferocity of Xu Jingming's shield techniques.

…

"Wow, wow, wow, so fierce!"

"Xu Jingming's shield techniques are too fierce! He's chasing Miyakawa Meishin and beating him up!"

The Xia countrymen were excited. Unlike the sharpness of his spearmanship, Xu Jingming's shield techniques were a vast, head-on crushing force! The sense of oppression was even greater, forcing the enemy to either be smashed to death or escape!

"Everyone, look quickly. Apart from Xu Jingming's fierce shield techniques, everyone should pay attention to the fact that Xu Jingming's speed is also very fast." Male commentator Jin Fan pointed to the data displayed in the virtual world. "Look at this chase. Xu Jingming's top speed reached 139 meters per second! This speed is even faster than Miyakawa Meishin!"

…

"Xia country's Xu Jingming is too domineering. His footwork is like thunder, and a pair of shields keep smashing over. Miyakawa can only dodge now." In the Sakura country's official livestream, the male and female hosts looked somewhat anxious.

The Sakura country's people were even more worried.

How did their Miyakawa Meishin fall into a disadvantage as soon as the fight started?

******

"I can't beat him in a head-on clash." While being chased, Miyakawa Meishin immediately understood this. "I must bring out all my strength and play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses to have a chance of winning."

At first, Miyakawa Meishin felt that Xu Jingming's use of shields was an insult to him, so Miyakawa Meishin wanted to clash head-on, forcefully attacking Xu Jingming and forcing Xu Jingming to use his spearmanship.

Now it seemed that a forceful attack wouldn't work.

"Whoosh."

Miyakawa Meishin changed his strategy.

His figure became unpredictable. With a few changes in footwork, Xu Jingming found it difficult to chase him.

"He's really slippery, and his changes in direction are fast." Xu Jingming frowned slightly. His speed was linear! When his instantaneous speed erupted, it was like lightning, like a beam of light charging straight! After changing direction, it was another straight charge.

However, Miyakawa Meishin was like a gust of wind, his footwork trajectory a curve, and a constantly changing curve at that. After a few flashes, he made it impossible for him to chase.

"This is my true strength!" Miyakawa Meishin's fighting spirit surged. His footwork was like the wind. The instant he approached Xu Jingming, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared.

Xu Jingming charged out with his dual shields, but Miyakawa Meishin had already quickly detoured around him.

At this moment, Miyakawa Meishin was like a hunter, constantly circling Xu Jingming, searching for an opportunity to strike. When he had an opportunity, he would strike once or twice. If he didn't have an opportunity, he would retreat.

"Such fast swords." Xu Jingming also felt the pressure. He couldn't determine when the other party would strike. Sakura country's swords were light weapons, known for their speed. Once a sword was drawn, Xu Jingming had to fully concentrate and use his shield techniques to defend.

This exposed Xu Jingming's flaw.

That was that his shield techniques had not completely reached the fourth order.

"My shield techniques, such as collapse and smash, have reached the fourth order in some moves, but the whole has not completely broken through. The changes between moves are not smooth and natural enough." In the face of the other party's elusive sword light, Xu Jingming increasingly felt the flaws in his shield techniques.

He was trying to eliminate these flaws.

After all, his Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique, Starry Sky Spear Technique, and footwork had all reached the fourth order. His control over his body was very high. As long as he tried hard, he would slowly adapt to exerting force, gradually perfecting the force exertion of his shield techniques.

…

"Xia country's Xu Jingming is completely on the defensive! Miyakawa is constantly attacking." Sakura country's official livestream was boiling, and the two hosts and countless people were quite excited.

"Miyakawa has completely grasped the initiative. He can attack when he wants to attack and retreat when he wants to retreat. Xu Jingming can only rely on his shield techniques to defend." The male host said excitedly, "Shields are good at defense. With two shields working together… Xu Jingming can barely hold on! But as long as he makes a slight mistake, Miyakawa's sword can slash his throat."

"In this battle, Miyakawa has the absolute upper hand." The female host also said excitedly.

…

"Xu Jingming's shield techniques are still a bit weak. He's at a disadvantage now." In Xia country's official livestream, Jin Fan said anxiously, "If he switched to a spear, the situation would definitely be much better."

"Using shields, he is indeed on the defensive." Host Liu Xin was also very worried.

The Xia countrymen were also watching nervously. No matter what, they supported their country's expert in their hearts.

…

Liu Hai looked at this scene and was a little surprised. "Jingming's explosive speed is actually faster than Miyakawa Meishin's, but he's a bit lacking in flexibility. But he has the Heavenly Python Evolution method! Miyakawa Meishin has the Shadow Leopard Evolution method. Jingming's speed can still be advantageous? Then his overall strength should be far above Miyakawa Meishin's."

…

Di Jiano * Xili was in the Blue Star Alliance's livestream.

Because many small countries did not have official livestreams, the citizens of small countries could watch the 'Blue Star Alliance' livestream.

"Crack, crack." Di Jiano * Xili was holding an apple and gnawing on it, watching the ongoing battle. "They're not even on the same level. This Xia country's Xu Jingming is completely practicing his shield techniques!"

******

At this moment, Miyakawa Meishin, who was in the battle, also felt it strongly. Although he had launched close-quarters assassinations again and again, he had failed every time.

"After dozens of attempts to find an opportunity, I've failed every time. His shields are obviously not smooth enough, but his reaction speed is too fast, and his body speed is also too fast. He can completely make up for his flaws." Miyakawa Meishin understood this. "Speed, strength, nerve reaction… he is superior to me in all aspects! My combat strength is 45,000, and his real combat strength is at least 55,000!"
