"So fast!"
Lin Huang's pupils contracted slightly. The speed of Sword8's attack was no less than Sword9's, who specialized in rapid speed sword skill.
In the blink of an eye, Sword8's figure was already right in front of Lin Huang.
Just as Lin Huang swung his sword to meet the attack, he saw the veins on Sword8's sword-wielding right hand suddenly bulge and her muscles swell rapidly. Her arm, which was originally only about fifty centimeters long, suddenly grew to more than a meter long. The thickness of her arm and the extent of her muscles were no less than Tyrant's; they were even stronger.
However, what was even stranger was that not only did her sword speed not increase, but it also strangely slowed down a little.
Seeing this unusual change, Lin Huang seemed to realize something in an instant. He had originally swung his sword to meet Sword8's Thunder Eclipse, but he suddenly changed his stance. His sword force changed, and he instantly switched from offense to defense. The blood-red sword gleam condensed into a mountain that was more than a thousand feet tall in front of Lin Huang.
"Mirror — Unmovable Mountain!"
Like rapid speed sword skill Thunder Eclipse, Mirror was the collective name for Lin Huang's defensive sword skills. Its name came from the Monster Skill Mirror.
However, this series of defensive sword skills was purely a Sword Dao skill and had nothing to do with Mirror.
In reality, ever since Lin Huang entered the Trial, he had not used any other Monster Skills apart from skills that could directly assist his sword skills.
On one hand, his main purpose in entering the Trial was to improve his Sword Dao ability, so he had been trying to avoid using abilities unrelated to Sword Dao as much as possible. On the other hand, there was currently no opponent strong enough to force him to use these skills unrelated to Sword Dao.
Even when he encountered Sword23 and Sword29 for the first time in the Competitive Trial, he was defeated and had to escape from the room that the two of them were guarding. However, he still maintained the mentality of a Sword Dao battle. He had never used any skills or divine abilities that were unrelated to Sword Dao.
As soon as Lin Huang changed his technique, the sword gleam from Sword8's battle sword was already in front of him.
The next instant, the black sword gleam that extended from the broken sword crashed into the red mountain in front of Lin Huang.
The spot where the blade of the black blade light collided with the red mountain instantly turned black. At the same time, Lin Huang also saw spider web-like cracks appearing on the Unmoving Mountain.
In less than half a second, the Immovable Mountain that Lin Huang had constructed by consuming a large amount of Divine Power collapsed completely under the attack of the black sword gleams.
At the same time, Lin Huang felt a terrifying force coming from the blade. In the next moment, his body flew out uncontrollably like a cannonball.
"She switched from rapid speed to force-style in an instant, allowing her force-style to have movement and attack speed that's close to rapid speed." Lin Huang instantly understood his opponent's technique.
He didn't expect that the so-called 'a little' would be at such a terrifying level.
Sword8's rapid speed was almost at Sword9's level, but it must be noted that Sword9's main cultivation was rapid speed. As for this force-style attack, its power and attack intensity completely surpassed Sword10's, even by more than a level. It was even a notch higher than Lin Huang's current attainment in force-style.
"This fellow's overall level is obviously higher than Sword10's. Also, if she's not lying, her ultimate dao-type level should be above mine as well …" To Lin Huang, this was undoubtedly not good news.
"Oh no, I used too much strength!"
On the other side, Sword8, who saw Lin Huang fly backward, suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
When he heard his opponent's cry, Lin Huang did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He was not quite sure whether Sword8's words were sincere or if she was just mocking him.
After flying backward for dozens of kilometers, he felt the impact lessen slightly. Only then did Lin Huang step into the air with both feet and glide for dozens of meters in the air before he steadied himself.
"Hey, are you okay?"
At this moment, Sword8's voice suddenly rang out. Her figure appeared directly less than a hundred meters in front of Lin Huang.
Lin Huang had his guard up as he looked at the man.
"I'm fine."
"I'd better use a little less strength, or you won't last more than an hour," Sword8 suggested.
"No need, just use your normal level just now." Lin Huang shook his head and rejected her suggestion.
"But … I only used 70% of my strength just now, which isn't considered a normal level …" Sword8's voice was a little weak. "So should I use 70% or 10%?"
"10%." Lin Huang was only slightly stunned for a moment before he answered, "I need enough pressure to find an opportunity to break through."
"Alright, then you better not die," Sword8 said somewhat worriedly.
"Don't worry, I won't," Lin Huang responded expressionlessly.
After a simple conversation, the battle between the two of them continued.
Despite being fully mentally prepared, the following battle was still much more difficult than Lin Huang had expected.
As Sword8 had said, she had not used her full strength just now. Not only had she used force-type, but she had also held back in her rapid speed sword skill. In reality, her rapid speed sword skill was a notch stronger than Sword9's. Even Lin Huang did not have much of an advantage in rapid speed sword skill.
What made Lin Huang the most speechless was not his opponent's crushing force-type, but her crushing of ultimate dao-type.
Sword8 had said before that she majored in ultimate dao-type, and she had not lied at all.
Lin Huang's ultimate dao-type was the strongest of the three Sword Dao directions, but Sword8's ultimate dao-type was a notch stronger than his.
She was proficient in at least a million sword skills, and in terms of the use and depth of various sword skills, she was more than a notch stronger than Sword10.
Sword10 had originally said that if he encountered Sword1, his opponent would find a way to counter all his sword skills. Lin Huang felt the same way when he encountered Sword8 now. No matter what sword skill he used, his opponent would be able to deal with it easily.
If Lin Huang had not elevated his Sword Dao to peak True Martial Level and Sword8's Sword Dao had been limited to beginner-stage True Martial Level by the Trial rules, he would have been defeated long ago.
In his battle with Sword8, Lin Huang had been crushed in almost every aspect. He had only managed to hold on by relying on his slightly stronger rapid speed sword skill and stronger Sword Dao.
The battle went on for countless rounds; even Lin Huang had no time to care about the passage of time.
Suddenly, Sword8 sheathed her sword and withdrew from the battlefield.
"An hour's up, you've passed!" Sword8 said to Lin Huang with a grin, giving the impression that she had passed on her own.
"Thank you!" Lin Huang, on the other hand, did not look happy. He merely nodded and asked Sword8, "Can you be my sparring partner for a few more days?"
"Sure, sure! It's been a long time since anyone played with me! "Sword8 agreed without the slightest hesitation, her face full of joy.
"Then let's continue!"
