Chapter 343: Sword Intent vs Sword Intent (1/2)
The Royal Fu Academy disciple with the 4th Mind Tempering realm cultivation base arrived a little after Du Yuhan did.
He stood on the opposite side of the stage and spoke, ”I saw your fight earlier. You broke your sword, didn't you?”
Du Yuhan stood there emotionless without a single response.
”No worries, I will beat you very quickly so that you don't have to worry about that, to begin with,” the opponent said with a smile.
”BEGIN!”
The opponent brought out his sword and made a massive slash, sending it towards Du Yuhan. Suddenly, a sheathed blade appeared in Du Yuhan's hand out of nowhere and he attacked the incoming slash just as it reached him, sending it to the side.
BANG
The slash ended up hitting the barrier on the side.
”What the— ” the man was a little surprised when he saw that Du Yuhan had an undamaged sword. ”Huh? But I'm sure the sword was cracked at that time. I even confirmed it with the disciple from the Thousand Hand sect,” he screamed.
Du Yuhan said nothing. Now that his sword was out of its sheath, his aura had changed and he was deadly. If he was to say anything, the words would be coming out of his blade.
His sword glowed white and he immediately sent out a sword slash. The opponent immediately moved to block the attack. He also sent out a slash of his own that met at the middle.
BOOM
The sounds the collision of their attacks made were much louder than the other fighters until now. A yellow glow appeared on the opponent's sword as he let it fly towards Du Yuhan.
Du Yuhan could only use wood elements which were bad against metal, so he stuck to normal Qi attacks. The attacks ended out causing another boom.
Neither of them wasted time thinking and sent out multiple slashes that all struck each other and brought them to a standstill.
Alex was quite engrossed in the fight as it apparently wasn't every day you got to see two Weapon Intent users but something distracted him suddenly.
'It's back,' he thought and looked towards the direction the feeling was coming from. 'Is it from the crowds? Or further away?' he wondered.
Just then, he saw Wen Cheng's legs constantly shaking as if he was really anxious about the fight.
”What's wrong, master? You seem a little scared,” Alex asked.
”Hahaha,” Wen Cheng gave nervous laughter and said, ”That's because I am scared, about the match that is,” he said.
”Oh. Is there something to be scared about? It seems an even match to me,” Alex said as he looked at the stage once again. They were still sending out slashes and neither of them could beat the other.
”That's only because they are sending out those Qi attacks. Sooner or later, a sword fight will get physical, and that is when we will see their cultivation base make more of an effect on their attacks,” Wen Cheng said.
”Also, if I am not wrong, then Yuhan's opponent has a Heaven grade sword, the impact of which will only be truly seen when the swords clash. I am afraid… Yuhan won't have much of a chance to win after that,” Wen Cheng said.
Alex finally understood where Wen Cheng's fear lied. The main battle between the two had yet to begin, and when it did was when we would finally see the disparity between their power.
