The swordsman have realised that he is incapable of subduing the sword, looking at his comrade who was giving it his all to protect, he decided to destroy the sword even though he wanted it very much, as a swordsman he could sense the quality of the sworc just by touching it.
The sword on his hand right now is a treasure that swordsman would love to had, but he wasn't that stubborn, he then use his Saint Qi to try and destroy the sword.
The spearman sensed the powerful Qi emitting from behind him and realised that his comrade have decided to forsaken such treasure, he knew the reason for this is because of him.
The two of them are sensitive towards Saint Qi, they also known each other for a long time, they could sense and estimate just how much Saint Qi in each other's reserve.
Shadowslash knew the swordsman would definitely realised that the sword is just a distraction, he hurriedly use his spiritual sense to control his sword, he transformed his eyes into yin eyes to increase the power of his illusion.
Even though the two have already been on guard against the illusion, they were still caught on one but because of their preparation they managed to destroy the illusion quickly.
The swordsman felt his hand is empty, he immediately knew that he was played as a fool by his opponent making him furious, he then said "Sipher retreat! conserve your energy for your Existence Annihilating Strike."
The spearman pauses and nodded, he then made the same stance as earlier and his blood red aura once again started radiating out of his body intensely, Shadowslash's danger senses also kicks in once again, informing him about the danger that the spearman imposes on him.
He doesn't know why but the danger that he sensed from the spearman seems to be unavoidable, he quickly realised that the attack that the spearman is preparing definitely has the ability to lock on its target, in other words him.
His eyes narrows and he decided to show himself and charges towards the spearman, he was holding on his sword and attacked, his other sword is still flying towards him.
Heavenly Imperial Slash!
Bang! But his attack was blocked by the swordsman which isn't surprising for him, his real attack was on his other sword, he raises it and release his favorite sword strike.
Lunar Fang!
"I wouldn't let you!" Upon seeing this, the swordsman let's out a furious cry, his broadsword started glowing in gray light and his aura exploded making Shadowslash retreats.
He then started spinning with his enlarged sword creating a powerful tornado that is made up of sword and chaos Qi but because they are inside the poison barrier, the power of the tornado decrease by at least half but still it was able to block the Lunar Fang from reaching the spearman.
But when the tornado disperse, Shadowslash sensed that a large portion of the swordsman energy also disperses, it seems that activating that form earlier took some power but other than this, it doesn't pose any harm to the user.
Shadowslash expression have become solemn, the tension became extremely high between him and the swordsman, the next battle would become a one on one fight between the two.
Unlike the swordsman, Shadowslash is full of confidence in fighting a one on one battle but the spearman still worries him, he needs to settle the battle fast if he wanted to stop the spearman.
Bang! With a stomp in the air, he managed to propel himself towards the swordsman, his wings unfurls themselves and turned into quick blades that slashes towards the swordsman.
The swordsman hurriedly raises his sword to defend, he decided to recover most of his strength first before deciding to attack, his broadsword have returned to its original size but it is still able to block the attack.
Shadowslash then follows with a two sword slash to the side, he puts all of his strength on the slash, the swordsman sensed the power from the two swords and knew he couldn't block it.
He then started spinning but this time, he hadn't activated his bulky form and only use his sword technique, the tornado that he had created was destroyed and he was thrown to the side.
Shadowslash took this opportunity to charge towards the spearman but he quickly stops and fires a triple Lunar Fang towards the swordsman, he then raise his other sword also release his other sword skill.
Heavenly Imperial Slash!
The four sword Qi flew in the air and collided with a gray sword Qi, this was the reason why Shadowslash have stopped on his tracks, such powerful sword attack would definitely deal a massive blow to him, if left unattended.
"I wouldn't let you go that easily!" The swordsman looks at him and shouted, he then charges towards him with increasing sword intent rising on the area.
Shadowslash raises his eyebrow when he sensed this, it seems that because of the pressure he was giving to the swordsman, he actually managed to breakthrough his current sword realm and achieved greater strength.
He couldn't help but become cautious as he knew that this type of person would only get stronger as time passes by, he knew that he is now no longer able to estimate the amount of energy of his enemy.
As long as the swordsman have some fighting spirit burning within him, he will be able to fight even if his body is empty, the closer he is to dying, the stronger he will become.
This is the most troublesome opponent for Shadowslash right now, because that meant that he wouldn't be able to finish the fight that quickly and might even be injured after the battle, further increasing the chance of him dying at the hands of the spearman.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly as he prepares himself to receive the onslaught of the swordsman, the swordsman on the other hand have forgotten everything and was now only focused on his opponent.
He then activates his bulky form once again and his sword have also enlarged, with a loud cry he slashes towards Shadowslash and this attack cause a powerful shockwave that actually made the surrounding poisonous gas to part.
He wasn't thinking any plan and was only following his instinct, all of his senses have become enhanced and his sword intent is much more stronger, making his attack stronger, sharper and faster.
Shadowslash then raises his swords to block the attack, and his expression have become a bit unsightly, his strength is greater than the swordsman, that is why he was able to throw him away earlier.
But at this moment, his strength is now just equal to that of a swordsman, that meant that one of his advantage have disappear, this will definitely make the fight much more harder than he expected.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The two of them collided, even though the swordsman have am explosive increase in strength and size, his speed did not decreased in the slightest, on the contrary, his attacks continue to become much more sharper and fiercer, so does his movement.
Shadowslash also realised that he should focus on the swordsman at this moment and not think about the spearman, if he became too careless then he would definitely receive a massive blow.
His plan is to slowly exhaust the swordsman's energy, he quickly became focus and it seems that his opponent's attack have become a tad bit slower.
He dodges the swordsman attack and let go of his two swords and grabs the swordsman's two arms, his tails quickly moves and wrap themselves around their target.
The swordsman quickly started struggling and because of his strength, he managed to stop some of the tails from successfully wrapping themselves to him.
Shadowslash opens his mouth and bits the shoulder of the swordsman, his sharp teeth managed to pierce through the armor but not enough to reach the flesh.
This was the method he decided to quickly finish the fight, but the rampaging sword intent and Saint Qi that the swordsman is releasing continue to bore through his body.
He use his spiritual sense and his own sword intent to block the vicious sword intent of his enemy, he use Heaven Swallowing Technique to absorb some of the Saint Qi to decrease the pain.
The swordsman continue to struggle, he felt his energy was being absorbed by the tails that are wrapping around him, he looks at Shadowslash who was biting him and headbutted him.
Bam! Shadowslash was too close to be able to dodge and his left face was slammed by the helmet of the swordsman, he shook his head, he looks at the swordsman and the two of them headbutted each other.
Bang! The two of them collided once again causing a loud collision to be heard, Shadowslash have four powerful horns and the swordsman has a powerful helmet and strengthened defense.
The first collision was a tie!
