Chapter 343: Sword Intent vs Sword Intent
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.
Du Yuhan sent out many small slashes at once using his infinity attack again. His opponent used a barrier technique and blocked most of it. The ones he missed, he simply parried with his sword.
Both of them stopped attacking. They both understood that such a fight was going to bring them nowhere.
The opponent smiled. He showed a huge grin and became the first of the two to proceed forth with the attack. He closed the gap very quickly and also managed to parry another slash that Du Yuhan had sent after he launched himself.
When he landed, he sent an overhead slash with all of his momentum behind him.
DING
Du Yuhan blocked the sword with his own, but his sword got a nick in return. When the opponent saw that, he smiled. He was winning.
He pulled back his sword and slashed down once again.
DING
Another nick appeared in Du Yuhan’s sword. This time even Du Yuhan knew what the problem was. His sword wasn’t measuring up to his opponent’s.
This time, the both of them pulled back to attack. Both of their strikes had the additional strength of their intent behind them.
DING
Du Yuhan was forced back a little. His physical strength was not matching up with his opponent’s who had a higher cultivation base.
DING DING DING
Strike after strike, his opponent sent in relentless attacks that kept on nicking his sword until it was too dull to fight. Du Yuhan concentrated hard and raised his intent to the extreme. His sword glowed white and one could even see the white Qi fill the gaps in the edge.
His opponent smiled as well. He too sent in Qi into his sword, only his sword glowed Yellow due to the inclusion of Metal Qi instead of normal ones.
Once their swords were pearl white with glow, they slashed.
BANG
A large explosion occurred right were their swords collided and created an explosion that sent them flying backward, away from each other.
His opponent stood up the moment he landed and started laughing maniacally. “Haha, I could feel it. Tell me I am correct,” he shouted.
Du Yuhan took a little longer, but he stood up as well. He looked at the sword in his hand and sighed. The sword was broken in half.
He only held the sword hilt and had no idea where the upper half had disappeared to. He looked towards the laughing opponent and looked at his sword. That sword had no damage at all.
That was a high-grade sword and wouldn’t take damage that easily.
“You are very strong,” Du Yuhan spoke for the first time in this match. It was so out of nowhere that even his opponent was surprised.
“Haha, you only realized now? Of course, I am strong,” his opponent said.
