Chapter 312 Exchanging Blows (1/2)

To the Sky Sword supporters, this originally was a competition that completely lacked suspense. But, after two losses in a row, they weren't as cocky as before. Judging from the current situation, they were glad that they acted reasonable because that man was equally matched with Mobis!

Shing!

The pitch-black sword in Rhode's hand was like a viper that wandered around Mobis. Mobis's blade emanated a green radiance, which formed a barrier to deflect the pitch-black sword. Crisp exchanges of strikes sounded and sparks flew between both men. Rhode took half a step back while Mobis snorted and brandished his Chrysoprase Sword. However, as his sword was about to pierce into Rhode's body, the black viper in Rhode's hands once again shot up and widened its huge mouth, aiming for Mobis' throat.

Clang!

The black and green blades clashed and their holders retreated simultaneously. Everyone stared in astonishment and at this moment, they weren't only impressed that Rhode was able to resist Mobis' attack, but they were also flabbergasted by his beautiful swordplay. In the middle of the arena, only two shadows were seen twisting and flashing.

How troublesome.

Mobis's heart sank. On the other hand, Rhode's expression remained unchanged as though he wasn't too concerned over who his opponent was. Even if it was the guild leader of Sky Sword, Rhode wasn't fearful at all.

This was only the beginning.

Both of them were clear on this. This battle appeared to be progressing fiercely. But, in fact, both sides were only probing each other out and hadn't given their best. From the exchange in blows, Rhode sensed that Mobis was being cautious. It was apparent that he had tightened his guard against the ”country bumpkins” after suffering two losses in a row. This might not be good news for Rhode, but it wasn't bad either because he realised that not only was Mobis being cautious, but also hesitant. To Rhode, this was to take advantage of.

It's almost time.

Rhode lowered his head and turned to his Composition Adornment.

Triple-set properties ready.

Mobis raised his sword and tilted his body to the side. His sword and gaze aligned into a straight line, pointing forward.

Then, he dashed.

Dazzling green radiance darted toward Rhode. The blade slashed through the air and released an ear-piercing sound. That was Mobis' famous sword skill: Wind Hissing.

As coarse and wild as a storm. As gentle as a breeze. As ice-cold as a blizzard. The nimble Wind Hissing sword skill was a nightmare for most of his enemies. For the first few seconds, it made use of its aggression to force one breathless. At the next few second, it lowered its speed from a ten-grade gale to a three-grade wind. Such a change in tempo was the most obvious feature of the Wind Hissing sword skill. Once his opponent had fallen into its tempo, it would be much harder to escape from it.

However, it wasn't an issue for Rhode.

Rhode stooped over slightly and slanted his body to the side. Then, he was totally engulfed by the sword skill.

At the same time, Mobis stopped his attack abruptly and turned to the left. Then, the wind erupting from his blade instantly slowed down.

The pitch-black sword emerged in midair.

Rhode appeared beside Mobis. His razor-sharp, odd sword struck out a faint, ear-piercing sound as it secretly aimed for Mobis's heart. But, at this moment, the harmless Chrysoprase Sword transformed into a whirlwind.

The blade air erupted and protected Mobis from Rhode's attack, at the same time repelling the viper-like blade. Not only that, but the whizzing blade air also pushed Rhode off balance. Fortunately, Rhode wasn't gravely injured.

At this moment, Rhode's counterattack finally began.

He landed on the floor and leaped up with his pitch-black sword in hand. Dozens of meteor-like blade lights flashed and collided with Mobis' whirlwind defense.

Bam!

The whirlwind lost its force and dispersed while Rhode re-emerged before Mobis.

But Mobis didn't flinch at all.

He seemed to be waiting for this attack from Rhode and as the latter appeared, Mobis steadily took a few steps back and the Chrysoprase Sword in his hand erupted into a powerful whirlwind. The whirlwind shrouded the entire blade and blasted forward along with his movements.

—!

The ear-deafening whirlwind forced everyone's eyes shut. They instinctively cowered, shut their eyes, and avoided the sound.

The whirlwind blasted a deep crevice on the ground and shattered slabs were dragged into it. The audience headed for safety immediately.

No one imagined that a sword could possess such amazing powers.

Although the audience was horrified, they also felt relieved.

That man wouldn't survive that attack, right?

However, not everyone had such thoughts.

”What?”

Anne widened her eyes and tilted her head in suspicion.
