1325 Let’s Fight For Real! (2/2)
Many of the onlookers could not help letting out shocked exclamations.
Only now did many of the competitors realize the gap in their abilities compared with Lin Huang and Forbidden Lamella.
Those who joined the Trial were sword cultivators. Naturally, they sensed the golden and blood-red gleams that filled the sky. Almost all the sword gleams were accompanied by terrifying Sword Dao aura.
Apart from a minority including Fallen Star, most of them knew very well that they could not defend themselves against a sky full of sword gleams.
What was even more discouraging was that the duo attacked at the speed of light. Not only could they not follow the sword gleam trajectories with the naked eye, but even their Divine Telekinesis also could not react fast enough.
Most of them merely saw the golden and blood-red glows appearing and colliding in the next instant.
Dazzling golden and red sparks exploded in the air one after another like flourishing fireworks.
The explosions sounded as if there were tens of thousands of thunderclaps echoing through the areas hundreds of kilometers away. All of the spectators felt intense shockwaves in the buildings beneath their feet.
The strings of red lanterns hanging at the corners of the little buildings were blown horizontal by the strong winds from the energy impact.
What made the spectators even more speechless was that the fight was clearly just a test match for the two combatants, but it had already caused such a shocking effect.
This led many of the spectators to abort their previous plan of seizing the opportunity to attack Lin Huang.
They knew very well that the duo's abilities were on a different level compared to them. They would be going to their deaths if they decided to even try an attack.
The three members of Death Sickle looked shocked as well.
Lin Huang's attack had stunned all three of them.
”I've always thought that his power came from some other techniques, not Sword Dao. I never imagined that his Sword Dao was so powerful!” Twin exclaimed.
”He deserves to be called Boss Xie Lin; I'm guessing his Sword Dao is already halfway to Sword Dao true meaning.” As a peak level-6 Sword Dao powerhouse, Destiny could naturally sense the Sword Dao levels of the two combatants.
”That's right, we can see Sword Dao true meaning's form from the attacks alone,” Fallen Star agreed, nodding slightly. Her eyes betrayed a complicated mix of emotions. She had always thought that Lin Huang was powerful due to a combination of abilities, but that he was below her level in Sword Dao. She only realized how wrong she was at this moment.
Lin Huang did not use Sword Dao true meaning in this attack. Instead, he suppressed his Sword Dao to half-step Sword Dao true meaning. If he was to use Sword Dao true meaning, Forbidden Lamella might have already been ground to a pulp.
From the start, Lin Huang had no intention of killing Forbidden Lamella. It was hard enough to encounter an opponent who could teach him a thing or two. It would be a complete waste to kill Forbidden Lamella before wringing dry his knowledge of Sword Dao.
Lin Huang even planned to drag out the battle until Unrivaled God and the rest arrived. He wanted to see if the few of them could enlighten him further on Sword Dao if they were to fight him together.
However, Forbidden Lamella had no idea what Lin Huang had in mind at the moment. He did not even know that Lin Huang had suppressed his Sword Dao. He believed that, like him, Xie Lin had achieved half-step Sword Dao true meaning but had yet to break through.
”To be honest, I was a little concerned before attacking because I thought my opponent this time might've already achieved Sword Dao true meaning. But I can rest easy now.” Forbidden Lamella said in relief, ”Since your Sword Dao is still at half-step Sword Dao true meaning just like me, I don't need to fight this battle alongside Unrivaled God at all.”
A battle sword coalesced in Forbidden Lamella's hand as soon as he was done speaking.
It was a black and gold battle sword, wide at the blade and over ten centimeters longer than a regular sword. The blade was the color of flame-gold, while the handle and the spine of the blade were inky-black.
With the infusion of Divine Power, the sword blade was soon suffused with a layer of gold flame. At the same time, Forbidden Lamella seemed to have been ignited, his entire body covered in golden fire.
”Now the warm-up is over, let's fight for real!” A deep yet husky voice drawled from the humanoid golden flame.
