Do Jin showed off his abilities, and his momentum suppressed others.
Hanago hid his blade in its sheath, and he did not show even a hint of his anger.
Even though on the surface, Do Jin suppressed Hanago with a great momentum and seemed to have the upper hand, only Do Jin knew that his sword will had been ignored.
His sword will had actually been ignored by Do Jin.
Bright Sword Sect's martial arts were most skilled in being agile. Their sword will could change constantly, and it could change according to the changes in the battlefield. They could also easily control the situation and even change the tides of the battle. It was a true paragon sword technique.
However, when he ran into an opponent like Hanago, Do Jin felt resigned.
No matter what sort of martial arts it was, once a person's will became stable, they could ignore all external influences. Sword will could no longer affect or shake the beliefs of elites at the same level as them.
Hanago was clearly this sort of person.
When he faced Do Jin's sharp, cold, and aggressive sword will, he was like a boulder that would not move for ten thousand years. He guarded his heart, and in his eyes, Do Jin, who had become one with his sword, was separated. He did not show any weakness.
"Take this!"
A few seconds later, Do Jin scowled. He moved like lightning, and the distance that was less than thirty-two feet between them was instantly reduced by half.
Clang!
A clear sword whine rose in the air.
He attacked.
More than one hundred Class One Hall elites who heard the news and rushed over to watch the fight felt uncomfortable at the same time, as if sword light had shone on their eyes.
Fierce!
Piercing!
In fact, they even felt dizzy for a moment, as if they had lost their vision.
That included Dream Clouds, Evil Wolf, and the others. Even though they were just watching the fight from the distance, they still felt a chill as if they were in a battlefield.
Even though it did not last long and only lasted for half a second, Dream Clouds and Evil Wolf had a deep understanding of just how terrifying Do Jin's sword was.
Before the sword even arrived, his will had already injured others.
A true sword will had injured others.
If this slash landed on a normal elite, even Dream Clouds might not be able to survive. Only Class One Hall's Barren Murderer, who had great defense, could block this slash with his physical body.
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
When they regained their vision, Do Jin and Hanago were already engaged in battle.
The bone-chilling wind was like thousands of knives scraping against the granite floor of the martial arts hall, and it let out endless hissing sounds.
Hanago had already been submerged in a world of ice and snow. sword light.
He did not seem to have expected that Do Jin's sword will would reach the state where he could injure others. He frowned and shut his eyes. He did not dare to be slow. He continuously changed his position to avoid the endless fierce sword qis.
At a time like this, a single misstep would mean the difference between heaven and hell!
Dang! Dang!
No matter how fast his footwork was, it was impossible for him to completely avoid Do Jin's Bright Sword Technique. The sounds of their weapons clashing against each other rose nonstop. Sparks shot out repeatedly from the black sheath, and the Class One Hall elites who were watching were dumbfounded.
That's right!
Scabbard …
Hanago moved about and avoided Do Jin's attack. At the same time, he would only raise his hand at the perfect moment when he was forced to do so. He would hold the hilt with one hand and the blade with the other.
It was a light stroke.
The sword that appeared out of nowhere hit the scabbard precisely as if it had been arranged beforehand.
What shocked Evil Wolf and Dream Clouds even more was that …
The saber and the sword clashed against each other, and it was as if an invisible force had charged out of the sheath. Do Jin shuddered slightly, and he could not launch a second round of attacks.
"Internal force!"
Dream Clouds and Evil Wolf exchanged a shocked glance. They recognized the secret behind it.
Hidden Force.
Drifting Sword, the Sect Master of White Robe Sect, had told them before that hidden force was an intricate method of mobilizing one's inner energy. If it was used properly during a battle, it could turn the tide of the battle and even increase the chances of winning.
The intricate and explosive use of inner energy could allow one to quickly scheme against an enemy.
When an elite who did not understand internal force fought against a person who knew how to use it, as long as the disparity in strength was not too great, the person who knew internal force would definitely have the last laugh.
Each of Hanago's blocks was very intricate.
And the amount of qi he used was very little.
He moved about casually, held his saber horizontally, and changed his position.
The rhythm of the battle might seem to be in Do Jin's hands, but Hanago fought with ease. Do Jin's few rounds of attacks did not deal any substantial damage to him.
Hanago seemed to be very skilled in this sort of fight. When he faced Do Jin's rapid attacks, he relied on his ability to listen to the wind to determine his opponent's position, and he continuously used up Do Jin's qi.
"HAH!"
He shouted nonstop. Do Jin continuously used up his qi, but not only did he not show any signs of running out of strength or weakening his momentum, his sword will surged, and it became even fiercer and more astonishing.
Shick! Shick!
The previously inconspicuous sword qi marks on the sturdy granite on the ground gradually became deeper. Sword qi marks that were about two inches deep were carved into the ground of the martial arts hall.
Hanago's blocks also began to increase in frequency.
Even so, Hanago still did not draw his saber from its sheath. He just moved about in a steady manner as he blocked the sword force that had clearly become stronger.
"Hanago, you sure are something …"
"I'd like to see just how long you can endure this!"
Do Jin seemed to have been forced into a rage by Hanago. Just when everyone thought that he was going to fight at full strength, he suddenly stopped moving, and against everyone's expectations, he moved horizontally. Then, intersecting sword qi enveloped Hanago's body in a strange manner. It was like a cage that had been set up beforehand. The sword qi was ghastly, and it sealed off all his escape routes.
"Bright Sword Technique, what a technique!"
Not only did this cause Hanago to open his eyes in shock, even Dream Clouds, Evil Wolf, and the others who were watching by the side found it incredibly unbelievable.
Bright Sword Technique was not just about having a transcendent sword technique, but it was also about the word "bright".
It could predict the enemy's movements!
Do Jin attacked at a critical moment, and for the first time, he managed to force Hanago into a clear disadvantage.
But …
Just when everyone thought that Hanago had no choice but to draw his sword and fight, Hanago did something that no one expected.
"Get lost!"
When he faced the sword qi that came charging at him from all directions, he calmly stepped back, and his body instantly turned into a series of afterimages.
He retreated at the speed of lightning.
The series of afterimages were torn apart by the fierce sword qi, but when Do Jin was halfway through his chase, he suddenly turned around, and with an even faster speed, he changed the momentum of his sword and attacked behind him.
Clang!
Hanago appeared thirty-two feet away from Do Jin. He held his saber horizontally, and he stood up unscathed. There was a mysterious smile on his face.
"As expected of Master Bright Sword's successor. I nearly fell into your trap."
"You're not bad yourself. I've meticulously calculated and set up the trap more than thirty times, but you managed to dodge it so easily." Some of the arrogance on Do Jin's face disappeared, and it was replaced by a solemn look. "But I still didn't manage to force you to draw your saber."
When he heard this, not only did Hanago not show any hint of smugness, his lips curled up into a cold sneer. "You only used seven-tenths of your strength, and you want to force me to draw my saber? Aren't you underestimating One Blade Sect's strength?"
When he said this, the Class One Hall members in the area sucked in sharp breaths.
No one had ever left behind such deep marks of battle on the granite in the martial arts hall.
It was especially so when they saw the profound trap just now. They practically believed that the two elites had fought to the death, but Hanago actually said that Do Jin did not even use seven-tenths of his strength.
The group was instantly rendered speechless.
"Just what level has the foreign world of martial artists reached?"
