Chapter 37 (2/2)

A flash of saber-light was seen as Ou Yangming swung his saber at Yan Haobo’s arm. Needless to say, he did not exert all his force, but his attacking angle was so tricky that it was truly plausible.

Yan Haobo was indeed a towering mountain when he remained still, but when he moved, his flaws were exposed.

“Nice!” He yelled, then faced the attack with his saber.

“Ding—” A loud sound was heard when both sabers clashed.

Ou Yangming’s face changed a little, and he quickly moved backward. He finally realized that there was a huge disparity between their strengths.

Yan Haobo’s quick reaction was definitely beyond Ou Yangming’s reach. His saber hit first though he struck later, and it managed to stop Ou Yangming’s saber. On top of that, the snow-white saber-light, as well as the powerful momentum, forced Ou Yangming to retreat.

On the opposite, Yan Haobo did not shake a bit, let alone swaying.

The huge difference made Ou Yangming hopeless.

Despite that, Ou Yangming was not resigned to the outcome yet. Yan Haobo was indeed powerful and agile, but Ou Yangming was certain that he would be superior if he had his equipment set on.

Of course, he was not going to reveal his trump cards yet.

He took a step back to stare at Yan Haobo. Instead of taking the advantage to attack again, the squad leader stayed on his spot to wait for Ou Yangming’s next attack.

Perhaps Yan Haobo thought that Ou Yangming would not be threatening at all no matter what tricks he used, because he had a saber with him.

Ou Yangming took a few steps back, and his eyes shone brighter.

Some people would withdraw themselves during difficult moments, whereas some would have a higher fighting spirit upon facing greater dangers.

Ou Yangming was unquestionably the latter.

After knowing that Yan Haobo would not kill him with a slash, Ou Yangming decided not to retreat at all. He had been hoping to train with a powerhouse like him.

Subsequently, he took a deep breath and went against the current.

A saber-light from Ou Yangming’s saber was aimed at Yan Haobo’s head again, but the instant Yan Haobo moved a little to attempt a block, Ou Yangming’s blade force changed. The saber-light that was slas.h.i.+ng down took a turn to attack Yan Haobo’s arm.

It was as if the same scenario was repeated, but the difference was that Ou Yangming’s saber-light became faster.

Yan Haobo smirked and thought to himself, ‘So what if it became faster? I’m definitely going to eat him up by suppressing him with my power and speed.’

However, just as there was a movement from his wrist as he changed his direction, Ou Yangming’s saber-light flashed and headed for his thigh instead.

Yao Haobo was stunned, and was forced to change accordingly.

Soon enough, he realized that Ou Yangming’s military saber was ever-changing, and it was simply impossible to guard against it.

Ou Yangming’s blade technique was not exquisite, and his attacks were neither fierce nor fast. In fact, he was actually inferior to Yan Chengcai.

In spite of that, his ever-changing blade technique left them in awe.

Additionally, Ou Yangming’s saber-lights were aimed at Yan Haobo’s weak point. Though he was much slower than Yan Haobo, Sui Hezhi and Yan Chengcai could tell that the latter lost his dominance and was being led by the former by the nose.

Sui Hezhi and Yan Chengcai were speechless when they looked at each other.

Especially Yan Chengcai who finally understood his uncle’s real intention. If he had battled instead, he would not be able to suppress Ou Yangming with his power and speed, and would probably be defeated already.

Yan Haobo who was in the battle at the moment was beginning to feel that way.

Ou Yangming was like a vortex. The vortex was not powerful in the beginning, but it became deeper as his saber-lights kept changing, to the extent that Yan Haobo felt like he was being restrained.

When the feeling grew stronger to a certain point, Yan Haobo felt a sense of crisis.

He must make a change, or like a frog being boiled, he would not even know how he would die in the end.

Following that, Yan Haobo widened his eyes and roared. His voice was thunderous and full of killing intent.

He did not bother about the incoming saber-light as he fixed his gaze on Ou Yangming, then slashed his saber without hesitant.

Under the pressure from Ou Yangming’s strange blade technique, he actually put his status aside, and attacked with a method that would cause destruction to the both of them.
