All of a sudden, Xavier changed his tactic and unexpectedly shifted to close combat. Although the Sword Spirit Sect's swordsmanship was typically famous for controlling it remotely, there were still some that used a head-on style of swordsmanship. It so happened that Xavier was one of those who practiced this a lot. When he rapidly approached Rocky, he unleashed very sharp sword auras. Three streaks of half-moon-shaped sword auras rushed out and directly surrounded Rocky from different directions.
Upon seeing this, Rocky instantly deployed his spiritual sword to surround his body with his own sword aura, turning it into a protective barrier.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The three streaks of sword auras collided with Rocky's sword aura barrier, creating loud bangs and bursting out dazzling lights. The massive impact generated a backlash of surging energy waves that spread out to hundreds of meters.
The crowd burst into an uproar as they witnessed such a high-level exchange of blows and thought that Rocky might have been done for.
However, even though Xavier's sword aura was very strong, it didn't manage to hurt Rocky at all. He fully deflected it with his own sword aura.
When Xavier realized this, his face darkened. Before this, his close combat swordsmanship had never missed a target at point-blank range.

"Don't be so full of yourself!" Xavier wasn't impressed at all. He didn't care if Rocky managed to fuse himself with a spiritual beast because he was confident that he should still be far stronger than him. Thus, he rushed forth without hesitation and attempted to attack Rocky again.
However, even before Xavier could approach him, Rocky suddenly turned into an illusory shadow that instantly appeared in front of Xavier. Before Xavier could even react, Rocky dealt a massive punch to his wolf-like body and sent him flying into the air. He was caught off guard and wasn't able to resist at all.
At the same time, Rocky disappeared from where he stood as if he had teleported. The moment he reappeared, he was already up in the air, where Xavier's body was heading. Then, in the blink of an eye, he launched a violent attack again, sending Xavier in the opposite direction.
The people were in utter disbelief of what they were seeing. Xavier was supposedly the one doing the beating, but right now, he wasn't even a match for Rocky. It was as if he was a sandbag that was being tossed mercilessly here and there. He was totally defenseless and beaten to a pulp. The crowd couldn't think of a possible explanation for all of this, because in order to possess this kind of power, one must already be a warrior at the King Realm, but as far as they knew, Rocky wasn't even at the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm.
All of a sudden, the people's attention was diverted as they heard a loud crack.
