He immediately pressed forward shooting out both of his arms, his first hand holding the cudgel started to turn horizontally which fell into the open palm of his left hand which was situated behind the back of the attacker.
The attacker was surprised that his prey could react so fast so he attempted to bring the sword back and up slice the arm that was currently presently in front of him, the arm slipped to the side and out of his vision being replaced solely with the red wood of the cudgel. Dai allowed the cudgel to be struck as he simply didn't care if the weapon broke right now, his life was more important than this new weapon he just got.
He over powered the sword user with his strength and grip and pulled the cudgel up and too his neck which also caused the sword to become restricted against the attackers neck. He twisted his hips whilst letting the cudgel go in one hand and sweeped his attackers legs throwing him to the ground where his sharp sword went into his throat.
Turning around he cleanly sweeped the cudgel around him with one hand creating a circle around himself, the cudgel first freely struck someone in the back of the head which rendered them unconscious immediately since they flopped to the floor.
While the rest got out of its way, he retrieved his cudgel and held it with both hands. He pulled and retracted the cudgel to a position where it was behind him while he faced forwards toward his next opponent… he was going to wipe out the majority of the peasants first so the nobility had no way of simply waiting this out peacefully.
His vision was currently tunneled as he heard screams ring across the courtyard, he pivoted at once when he heard one behind him and swung the cudgel low toward their legs. The man had his sword raised high when running toward Dai which resulted with the man's legs bending unnaturally to the left side and his eyes rolling back into his head as the pain struck him.
He crumpled to the floor and dai carried the cudgel and rushed forward striking someone busy fighting a noble across the back of his head, he used the momentum of this swing to swing up and around himself to strike another approaching attacker on his sword hands.
Even this minor injury caused the attacker to crumple to the floor screaming whilst holding his broken arm, he kicked the ground once and rushed forward toward another person who was waiting for him this time.
They swung their sword at the approaching man blindly mostly due to fear of seeing him take down five people within the battle just starting, Dai only needed to stop his charge and allow his cudgel to swing ahead of him, the sword clearly cutting air while the cudgel struck the man straight on his arms.
He continued with his striking, he used the long cudgel combined with his arm length to deal disabling blows against people distracted or simply scared out of their wits when fighting him head to head. He used this sort of reputation on this small scale battlefield to rush attack most of the peasants who had swords and those he didn't well…
He approached a peasant with a staff and stood a distance away, the peasant thrusted forward with the staff clumsily clearly not trained before. He took an advancing side step and delivered his own thrust which struck the peasant clearly on his face dazing at him. He then pulled the cudgel down, ripping the peasant's staff out of his grasp and then used it to pole vault forward out of a swing he knew was coming.
It's to say…people with polearms weren't his equal in combat nor were people with swords but such a life came to an end after the nobility saw what Dai was doing to there free points. The sword had come from one of the nobility swordsmen who saw Dai taking away his free points.
Dai pivoted and looked toward the man with his blade centered near his waist and pointed at Dai with elegance, he only had a one handed grip on his sword which aided in his elegance. His other hand was retracted and balled into a fist around his chest.
Dai quickly positioned his cudgel in front of him but he allowed it to drag on the floor, when it faced the noble swordsman he wasn't going to underestimate his opponent he knew for a fact that most of the people he took down were untrained and used instinct to fight instead of experienced fighters.
The nobility attempted to shorten the gap between him and the cudgel immediately, Dai took a step back and lifted the cudgel slightly he did two lightning fast thrusts by just moving the shaft of the cudgel.
The nobility used the strong part of his sword to parry the first strike but the next strike grazed his arm but even then that still hurt like hell from what Dai could assume a pain expression was plastered across the noble man's face. Dai felt a tinge of excitement after delivering the first strike on the noble man's arm.
Even though he was excited from the fight, he didn't rush forward at all and continued to keep his position against him… the nobility though instead of taking the hint rushed forward with even more vigour than last time.
Dai pulled the staff from the ground and did three swift thrusts toward three separate locations, the first was the head and then the leg which was all that he needed to take down the nobility but he continued and went for the head again.
The nobility first parried the block to his head placing his sword slightly in front of his eyes at first which blinded him and then he couldn't see the cudgel anymore from his view so he swiped his blade down toward his legs but Dai had the superior leverage at this point and he hit cleanly against his leg which let out a loud crack which was accompanied by the curdling scream of the nobility.
Dai walked forward seeing the man crumpled on the ground he then thrusted his cudgel once more which was caught by a sword and then carried up and around to the outside of the protectors legs. Dai immediately felt danger so he ducked quickly and he felt his long hair get lighter… only then did he realize a part of his locks got cut off.
He quickly crouched dived forward and somersaulted using one hand off the ground into the air, performing a perfect flip in the air his cudgel was curled along with him. He landed on the ground kneeling while looking at his two attackers with a flicker of excitement that started to shine in his light brown colored eyes.
The cudgel was behind him currently, he felt his lips curl but he did nothing to repress the smile on his face he saw two people currently looking at him and it was the two leaders of the nobility…'how convenient'
He got up from his kneeling position and straightened his back while looking toward the pair, He spoke first "Let us forget about this thing happening, I won't be continuing my assault on the Peasants and I won't attack any of the nobility that are accompanying you. Deal?"
Su Ming was the first to speak, " Do you believe you're gonna get off that easy?"
"No, But it was a good attempt right?" He then pulled his cudgle in front of him and ran forward attempting to take initiative first.
