Neither Wade nor Agent Zero were proficient in Gun Fu. In this high-intensity confrontation, both of their brains were fully engaged, performing calculations at high speed, and their hand movements were just as fast, even gradually becoming faster.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Agent Zero fired rapidly with his dual pistols, bullets flying toward Wade was getting closer and closer.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Wade wielded his twin blades in a variety of complex trajectories, slashing and parrying to deflect every single bullet fired.

But he didn't stop for a moment, and continued to rush towards Agent Zero.

As they got closer to Agent Zero, Wade felt increasing pressure, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. Agent Zero wasn't in much better shape either, gritting his teeth as he fired.

Finally, Wade, despite Agent Zero's attacks, reached him. After cleaving a bullet that had just left the barrel with a single slash, he immediately followed up with another slash at Agent Zero.

Agent Zero did not retreat or dodge. Instead, he released the two pistols in his hands, letting them fall to the ground. He then quickly drew two long knives, just like Wade's, from behind his back and slashed at Wade's long knife from the side.

"When!"

A crisp clang of a blade rang out, and Wade's longsword was deflected, slicing past Agent Zero but failing to harm him.

However, Wade's attack did not stop there. Without the threat of bullets, Wade felt a sense of lightness throughout his body. The two swords in his hands seemed to have finally regained their vitality and become more agile. He launched a fierce attack on Agent Zero.

However, to Wade's surprise, several of his consecutive slashes were deflected by Agent Zero's knife and successfully blocked. It was unexpected that Agent Zero had always only used a pistol, actually showed remarkable swordsmanship!

However, Agent Zero's time learning swordsmanship was relatively short. Wade, who had been fighting with dual swords for many years, was much more experienced. Although he had the advantage of Gun Fu, Wade had also learned Gun Fu and had studied swordsmanship in greater depth.

So after successfully deflecting several of Wade's Speed attacks with his longsword, Agent Zero gradually began to falter as Wade's attacks became increasingly fierce.

This was only because Wade didn't want to take advantage of the weapon and didn't deliberately use the Adamantium long blades to attack the weapon in Agent Zero's hand; otherwise, Agent Zero's longsword would have been cut in half long ago.

Even so, Agent Zero still felt somewhat awkward in combat, needing to be especially careful to dodge Wade's direct attacks with his twin blades.

Agent Zero's swordsmanship was inferior to Wade's, and coupled with his lack of experience with knives and the need to avoid direct confrontation with Wade's Adamantium long blades, he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position in close-quarters sword fighting.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The crisp clash of longswords rang out like the sound of rain. The two men wielded their swords with incredible speed. To an ordinary person, all they could see were dazzling flashes of light around them, but they could not make out their movements at all.

However, the crisp, rapid sounds did not last long. Soon, two long swords flew out of the battle and fell to the ground, and the sword light flying in the air stopped instantly.

Wade and Agent Zero stood facing each other. Wade still held two gleaming silver long knives in his hands, while Agent Zero's hands were empty.

However, the expressions on their faces were somewhat strange.

Wade showed no joy at his victory, and Agent Zero showed no sign of defeat. It was as if their battle had ended in a draw.

Indeed, that was the case. It appeared that Wade, braving Agent Zero's bullet attacks, rushed to his side and quickly knocked away Agent Zero's twin swords in a sword fight.

However, don't forget that they are in Training Room. Although the space is not small, it is not particularly spacious compared to the outdoors. There is not much room to maneuver, which limits Agent Zero's ability to evade and makes it easier for Wade to get close to him, which is disadvantageous to him.

Moreover, facing Wade charging towards him, Agent Zero didn't dodge at all in order to test his swordsmanship; otherwise, even though the terrain was unfavorable to him, Wade wouldn't have been able to reach him so easily.

Based on Wade's experience charging at him while enduring Agent Zero's bullets, the closer he got to Agent Zero, the more difficult it became for him to parry. If Agent Zero hadn't simply abandoned his dual pistols and instead fought him with dual swords, but instead attacked while dodging, it's uncertain whether Wade could have defeated him.

Moreover, Wade used two swords throughout, and in addition to the two guns he had always used, Wade also started using two swords like him.

Not only that, he actually used his twin swords to block his attack and held out for quite a while, instead of collapsing at the first touch as Wade had expected.

This greatly spurred Wade, who had always believed he possessed unparalleled talent in swordsmanship and held an absolute advantage over everyone except Chen Mo.

Agent Zero can hold his own against him for a while now. So, after a while, once his swordsmanship continues to improve and he has accumulated enough experience, won't his status Sword Saint be in jeopardy?

Moreover, if he were to actually be defeated by him in swordsmanship, no, even if it wasn't a defeat but just a draw, it would be absolutely unacceptable for Wade!

He, the dignified "Sword Saint" Wade, was actually defeated in swordsmanship by someone who used a gun. How can he continue to call himself the "Sword Saint"? What will the members of X-Force think of him then?

Thinking about this, Wade felt a chill run down his spine, and his gaze toward Agent Zero became extremely serious.

No! We absolutely cannot let this happen!

However, upon closer analysis, this possibility is actually very high!

Back in the X-Force, Agent Zero's strength was on par with his. Now, with Chen Mo's guidance, he has learned powerful Gun Fu and sword techniques, and obtained an indestructible Adamantium long blades. He finally managed to defeat Agent Zero, but Chen Mo quickly caught up with him again.

This undoubtedly proves that Agent Zero's talent is no less than his!

The superior swordsmanship displayed by Agent Zero in the swordsmanship competition just now proved this point. Therefore, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Agent Zero catches up with him in swordsmanship. Even if he puts all his energy into practicing swordsmanship, it will be difficult to stop Agent Zero from catching up.
