Venerable White vs. Senior White
Mid-air, Song Shuhang sighed inwardly, calmly awaiting his fall to the ground. At that moment, only one thought occupied Shuhang mind—a stunt double was necessary for this scene! Otherwise, he might end up in the hospital. No, not just might, he definitely would!
At that moment, Song Shuhang caught a glimpse of Senior Northern River, who was watching from the sidelines. Senior Northern River seemed to be forming a circle with the other seniors from the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'.
What are Senior Northern River and the others planning to do?
Could they have discovered some way to help me? Strange, the things the older folks made look like white wreaths.
Wait, wait a minute, Senior Northern River, what do you mean by this?!
As he was pondering, Song Shuhang suddenly felt his body being pulled by a powerful force, causing him to stop and float in mid-air!
Could this be the work of the Fairy Flowing Firefly?
No, it wasn't the Fairy Flowing Firefly. It was Venerable White's spiritual power that transformed into an invisible hand and supported him!
Has Senior White not given up yet?
Song Shuhang down and saw that the Venerable White below let out a muffled groan and his body sank downwards, as if he had used a technique called "Thousand-Pound Drop". The next moment, the Senior White's legs seemed to have stepped into mud, directly into the hard ground!
The Venerable White is trying to salvage this plot!
Now, this scene... appears to ordinary people like this: [Senior Brother Gao Sheng, like a ghost, flashes behind Ling Ye and slashes out with his sword!]
Immediately afterwards, the protagonist Ling Ye turned around and blocked the knife. Clang... the metal clashed, producing a heavy impact sound.
The next moment, Senior Brother Gao Sheng suddenly leaped high into the air again... Of course, in reality, Senior Brother Gao Sheng was knocked away, but to ordinary people, it looked like he deliberately leaped high into the air and paused for a moment in mid-air.
Ling Ye, the protagonist who had taken the blow from Senior Brother Gao Sheng, let out a muffled groan. Then, he was crushed by a tremendous force, his calves sinking into the hard ground!
"Brilliant!" Director Jacob cheered inwardly. Because of the Illusion Butterfly, he saw that Song Shuhang and Venerable White were both suspended by steel wires, and the ground that Venerable White had trampled was also tampered with beforehand.
However, the first scene of the fight between 'Ling Ye' and 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng' was too intense.
These two actors must have studied 'China Kung Fu', as every move they made was full of power.
At this moment, the Venerable White's spiritual power hand holding Song Shuhang dissipated, and Song Shuhang gracefully landed back on the ground, assuming a cool Basic Saber Technique stance.
It looks like this scene isn't going to be cut, so we have to keep acting!
According to the script...
"Ling Ye, now you know the gap between you and your senior brother, right?" Song Shuhang pointed his knife at Venerable White, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
The Venerable White's face was ashen. "Please continue to instruct me, Senior Brother!" After saying that, he painstakingly crawled out of the pit.
According to the script, it's now the protagonist [Ling Ye]'s turn to attack!
The Venerable White also used the "Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles" movement technique, leaping up and slashing his steel blade directly at Song Shuhang.
When Senior White used the "Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles", he intentionally slowed down.
Compared to Song Shuhang's previous bizarre movement techniques, the 'Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles' that Venerable White is now using only seems to be slightly faster than running.
For his next attack, the 'Basic Saber Technique,' Venerable White also chose to launch a frontal assault.
Seeing that Senior White had started to seriously 'go easy' on him, Song Shuhang finally breathed a sigh of relief—[It seems Senior White has finally gotten into character; next... we'll officially begin the 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng utterly crushes Ling Ye' storyline.]
With Senior White holding back his attack, Song Shuhang felt he could withstand this direct blow!
If Senior White's sword swings weren't so terrifying anymore...
Thinking of this, Song Shuhang gritted his teeth inwardly. He swung his sword to block, and this strike was not only Basic Saber Technique, but also secretly incorporated the moves and techniques of his strongest defensive sword technique, the 'Reverse Scale Saber Technique'.
When!
Song Shuhang successfully withstood the Venerable White's frontal attack!
Venerable White was deliberately suppressing the power in his blade and slowing down his speed. Once Venerable White got serious, with the level of control Venerable-Tier expert had over his body, he easily suppressed his strength to the 'Second-Grade rank' level, which was one rank lower than Song Shuhang's current level.
Both sides used 'Basic Saber Technique', but it was precisely these Basic Saber Techniques that made the performance most spectacular.
Bang bang bang bang!
Ta-da!
Within just two breaths, Venerable White and Song Shuhang exchanged at least twenty blows.
Wonderful!
Jacob has made films for so long, and he has never seen such exciting fight scenes.
Such fight scenes don't need computer-generated special effects at all. Just a little editing of the shots and a stretching of the time for a few particularly cool moves in the fight scene to make the visuals more impactful can be used directly in a movie!
Moreover... he felt he couldn't bear to delete even a second of such an intense fight scene.
He was certain that this movie, with just that exciting opening fight scene, would immediately ignite the audience's adrenaline and get them all fired up!
Ding ding ding, Song Shuhang and Venerable White exchanged blows for nearly a hundred moves.
"That's about enough." Song Shuhang mentally estimated that it was time to move on to the next part of the story.
So Song Shuhang gave Venerable White a wink.
Then, he recited his lines in a deep voice. "Ling Ye, is this all your swordsmanship is capable of? Let your senior brother teach you..."
Holy crap!
Halfway through his recitation, Song Shuhang noticed that while he was reciting his lines, Venerable White wasn't cooperating—the senior hadn't even noticed the wink Song Shuhang was giving him; perhaps he hadn't had enough of beating him yet?
Anyway, Venerable White didn't stop. His blade flashed, and in an instant, he slashed five times at Shuhang!
Song Shuhang had a bad feeling—oh no, he couldn't withstand those five cuts... he was going to be 'cut'.
Just as Song Shuhang realized something was wrong, Venerable White also instantly realized what was happening.
If Song Shuhang can't block these five strikes, this scene will have to be reshot. But at this point, his sword has already been drawn, and if he forcibly sheathes it now, this scene will have to be cut.
So, Venerable White held the knife in one hand, and the five fingers of his other hand moved nimbly.
Strands of spiritual energy transformed into fine threads that clung to Song Shuhang's body, controlling him like a puppet.
Then... the scene changed drastically.
When faced with Venerable White's ingenious five-slash attack, Song Shuhang, playing the role of 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng,' cleverly took a small step back. This small step gave 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng' room to maneuver. Immediately afterward, 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng' also unleashed his own treasured sword.
These five strikes weren't particularly fast... but the angles were incredibly precise, striking first despite being slower than the opponent! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Venerable White's five strikes were easily countered in that instant.
Song Shuhang broke out in a cold sweat, but... the gains were even greater! When Venerable White controlled his body, manipulating it like a puppet, he was startled. But the next moment, when his own body gently retreated and unleashed five skillful strikes, Song Shuhang's eyes lit up.
Senior White's way of drawing his sword is not some kind of magical swordsmanship.
However, this angle, technique, and experience in striking the blade caught his eye. He instantly applied what he learned to other situations, and combined it with the various sword techniques and knowledge that Shuhang had gained from borrowing the CPU from 'Senior Phoenix Slayer,' he suddenly felt enlightened!
While borrowing Senior Phoenix Slayer's CPU, he was able to gain a lot of knowledge and experience about 'Basic Saber Technique' from Senior Phoenix Slayer, and in a short period of time, he pushed his various martial arts skills to the 'mastery' level.
Now, under Venerable White's 'personal guidance', Song Shuhang is rapidly absorbing the experience and knowledge he gained from Senior Phoenix Slayer, truly making it his own.
Is this considered Venerable White's 'personal instruction' in swordsmanship?
But now... is not the time to think about that.
The plot hasn't stopped; the show has to go on.
Under Venerable White's control, [after Senior Brother Gao Sheng broke Ling Ye's technique of five strikes in an instant, he took another step forward. This step directly closed in on Ling Ye, placing him within range where Ling Ye couldn't quickly retaliate. Then, 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng' reversed his grip on the treasured sword and unleashed a reverse slash.]
The previous retreat has led to the current advance.
These two simple steps embody Venerable White's rich combat experience.
Plot: ['Ling Ye' retreated rapidly, but his Daoist robe was still slashed open by the precious sword... Had he been a moment later, this strike would have severely injured 'Ling Ye'. Ling Ye retreated repeatedly, widening the distance between himself and Senior Brother Gao Sheng. Then, he began to pant, seemingly very exhausted.]
Song Shuhang knew it was time for him to start reciting his lines.
"Is this all your swordsmanship is?" Song Shuhang twisted his wrist, gripping the Overlord Shatter Saber upright again. "Then... let your senior brother teach you what true swordsmanship is!"
"Senior White, please teach me the secrets of swordsmanship!" This was Song Shuhang's inner cry.
The next moment, Song Shuhang felt his body enter the 'puppet control' state again.
He leaped up and charged at Venerable White with an imposing posture— Senior White intended to film the entire fight scene in one go, in this state.
That's fine too...
Otherwise, Song Shuhang really didn't know how he would perform the "beating Ling Ye" scene. No matter how he attacked, it felt terrifying.
Now that everything is under the control of Venerable White, he only needs to constantly change his expression and recite his lines.
The rest can be left to Venerable White.
He could use this time to carefully study Senior White's techniques and experience—the current situation was essentially a battle between Venerable White and Senior White.
Director Jacob and the rest of the crew watched intently.
Great, the fight scenes are really good.
These two actors delivered explosive performances; their acting spirit is burning brightly! Absolutely fantastic!
