"Heh!"
Shadow Raven retrieved his black iron spear and slung it over his shoulder, laughing. "Well said, well said!"
The fiend sects chose to sit this one out and reap the spoils later. Since there was nothing but benefits for them, this was completely aligned with the thoughts of the demonicheirs.
"Watch out, Hart You's sword is extremely fast. There's a high possibility that he still has tricks up his sleeves…" The Holy Maiden reminded Aiden softly.
Laughing, Aiden was completely unaffected. Raising his sword, he had no intention of wasting his breath on the young Sword Sect's successor as he strode over in huge steps. "Sword Sect's successor? That's great. I'll sever your head as a tribute for my blade!"
Dressed in linen clothes with a bared chest and spouting crude statements made Aiden seem like an unruly and wild person.
Even Bair Yohren lamented to himself that the aura of this person before him was much less dignified compared to that green-robed scholar from before.
*SWOOSH!*
Closing in, Aiden's eyes lit up. The moment he struck, he started with the known well-experienced first strike from the still rather mysterious [Void Splitting Manual], Creation and his sword beam expanded, engulfing Hart You entirely.
"Heh."
Sneering coldly, Hart You's fingers slid down his sword before flicking the blade.
*BUZZ!*
The sword quivered and let out a clear buzzing sound.
All of a sudden!
Hart You attacked; his wrist trembled and the blade was already nowhere to be seen.
Instead, a cold flash arrived and spread out, causing the air to be filled with dense spots of sword lights like raindrops that shot out in all directions.
The place sounded like it was raining.
It was a heavy and intense sound!
"What?! T-that's… S-sword force!"
The eyes of the paragons lit up.
"That's the secret skill of Sword Sect, the Sword Rain! Hart You was indeed keeping aces up his sleeves…" Shadow Raven nodded his head but was not surprised.
On the one hand, it was the attack from the legendary Sword Emperor's [Void Splitting Manual]. On the other hand, it was the Sword Rain force.
*CLING!* *CLING!*
After a series of collisions, the saber and sword forces dissipated, and both their figures resurfaced once more.
The two of them were in an even standoff!
Although the Creation's Force was extremely tough, the raindrops produced by the Sword Rain force struck the blade repeatedly, causing the power that was produced to dissipate away.
By the time the blade cut through, almost all of its power was gone.
However, Aiden had always had a nagging feeling.
Although he managed to grow and train to the realm of 'Force', he felt that something was lacking in it. Something was missing.
Notwithstanding the fact that Aiden was still unable to produce the final strike of [Void Splitting Manual], he had a feeling that something was lacking while he practiced his first four strikes.
He felt that there was a sense of sluggishness when he tried connecting the first four strikes.
If he could make up for that tiny flaw, even Hart You's Sword Rain force wouldn't be able to deal with his Creation!
The many paragons frowned.
Although it seemed like the clash between the two blades was even, in reality, Hart You had lost ever so slightly.
Hart You's Startling Sword was a perfect artifact weapon.
Furthermore, to begin with, Hart You was at the peak stage of the Martial Knight realm while the successor of Holy Fire Island was only at the later stages.
It was clear who was better.
"You dare to come here and contend only to stir up trouble with just those meager capabilities?"
Scoffing coldly, Hart You glared at the burly man with a provocative gaze as the sword in his hand shimmered faintly in the void.
"Heh, this is all I need to suppress you!"
Roaring in laughter, Aiden's internal power churned and the sound of roaring thunder rumbled from his body. With a single stride, the figure flashed and he appeared before Hart You and made a sudden slash!
There were no fancy tricks as he simplified everything with a single slash. Coupled with the terrifying power he contained within his soul, his sword beam expanded in a frightening manner as it tore through the void.
Hart You channeled his bloodline and his peak stage Martial Knight realm internal energy burst forth; he was like an unsheathed blade that fused with his Startling Sword as one.
"DIE!"
Without retreating or dodging, Hart You wanted to rely on his advantage in terms of martial realm to fight the burly man head-on.
In the martial world, Sword Masters were acknowledged to be the strongest in terms of offense.
The two opposing swords collided in midair.
Sparks flew everywhere as the sword forces tried to devour one another mutually.
The energy between the two of them instantly entered a berserk state, torn into pieces by the two fierce sword beams.
Hart You's sword was edged and extremely sharp.
On the other hand, Aiden's blade was resolute and majestic!
*CLANG!* *CLANG!* *CLANG!*
The blades clashed relentlessly in midair.
Aiden's sword light was cold whilst the Sword Rain's sword shadows fluttered everywhere in a dizzying manner.
This was a battle of strength without much technique involved!
Aiden's eyes turned brighter as he fought fiercer while laughing into the skies.
"Well done, well done! You're quite capable to be able to withstand ten slashes of mine! Again!"
As though fatigue meant nothing to him, Aiden's strength was increasing instead of decreasing despite that intense clash!
*TAP!* *TAP!* *TAP!*
With every single step he took, the ground would quake once and his aura would climb a step further, causing his sword force to turn stronger.
Every single slash felt like a towering wave that was crashing from above, covering the skies!
Hart You was no longer taunting his opponent and looked extremely grim.
His arms were feeling numb and his vision was blurring against the attacks.
Those were signs of fatigue!
'This guy's stamina is like a bottomless pit. Why doesn't he have any limits?' Hart You was secretly shocked.
If this continued, he would show signs of losing within the next ten slashes!
'I've got to change tactics! I need to do something!'
At that thought, a resolute look flickered through Hart You's eyes as he flicked his wrist. Instantly, his sword quivered and burst forth brightly with a sword light in midair.
Spots of lights shot over, shining in a bedazzling manner.
That was a move from the Sword Sect's Sword Rain Manual which was used to affect the opponent's vision using sword light. In fact, it could even blind them momentarily, causing them to reveal fatal openings.
However, it was a pity as a mysterious glint flickered through Aiden's eyes. Golden light burst forth from the sockets, they were like two bright stars in a dark night, completely unaffected as they shimmered deeply.
A single slash cut through, tearing through the light and colliding against the Startling Sword.
*CLANG!*
Hart You shuddered and his Startling Sword nearly flew from his hands.
Upon seeing that, Reverend Jor Har who was on the sidelines frowned slightly. "This man… the Void Blade's vision and hearing are both extremely strong and his mental state is calm as a rock. I couldn't even affect him despite using my Enraged Heavenly Tiger Gaze and Roar together."
The paragons felt their hearts skip a beat!
Everyone thought about how difficult it would be for them if they had to be faced with the Enraged Heavenly Tiger Gaze and the sonic technique together. Yet, the successor of Holy Fire Island was completely unaffected?
"Something is amiss…"
Seehto'ch Ku'gar of Purple Firmament Sect had extremely strong vision and he could see the situation clearly. With a grim expression, he remarked suddenly. "Hart You's going to lose."
On the battlefield.
Hart You's expression was dark as he retreated endlessly. He could retaliate no longer.
On the contrary, Aiden's sword beam was intensifying as he advanced, shrouding Hart You within it.
In less than ten moves, a victor would be decided if the battle continued as such!
*PSHEW!*
Suddenly, a shuddering sound tore through the void.
A purple spiritual energy flew over.
Seven purple lights tore through the air and combined in the void, forming a gigantic purple long sword with a might so brazen that it was stifling!
Seehto'ch Ku'gar of Purple Firmament Sect had struck!
After all, Holy Fire Island was alone overseas and rarely appeared. Their impact on the martial world was far inferior compared to Sword Sect.
Furthermore, Sword Sect was one of the righteous super sects at the end of the day and enjoyed a good relationship with many other sects.
Purple Firmament Sect was one of them.
The purple sword advanced with a torrential power, as though an emperor had descended with a sharp aura. Aiden had no choice but to pause in his tracks.
If he continued hunting down Hart You, he would definitely be struck by the purple sword and he would be severely injured even if he managed to survive!
Aiden's expression was indifferent, as though he had already predicted this.
Retracting his saber, the direction of his blade steered and released the Vortex strike of the [Void Splitting Manual].
A contorting force burst forth from the saber and collided heavily against the purple sword.
