Who is it?
Are there any other saber masters among the Dragon Guard? Could it be Jiang Duanxian, the commander of the Yu Unit's Demon Division?
"Three Strikes of Duanxian: if one sees it, they are like a severed string!"
Heng Feijing looked in the direction of the saber intent, his face filled with anticipation. However, he saw two youths, around his own age, dressed in the black combat uniforms of the Dragon Guard, approaching him.
It wasn't Jiang Duanxian?
The youth on the right had handsome, prominent features, a perfect face shape, and a roguish smile. Even his thick eyebrows seemed to ripple softly, as if always carrying a smile, curved like the bright crescent moon in the night sky. A scar ran down his face, from the corner of his eye almost to his mouth. Yet, this scar didn't make him ugly; instead, it gave his face an indescribable allure.
But there was no saber intent emanating from him, so he wasn't Heng Feijing's target.
The youth on the left had dark, drooping hair, sharp, slanted eyebrows, long, narrow black eyes filled with sharpness, thin, tightly pressed lips, and chiseled features. He was tall and slender but not burly, like a cold blade in the dark night, aloof and solitary, yet radiating an imposing presence. Though he hadn't made a move, he already exuded a dominance that scorned the heavens.
It's him! Heng Feijing's emotions soared, his eyes like lightning.
"Qin Shuang of the Yu Unit's Divine Department!"
"Heng Feijing of the Yellow Unit's Electric Division!"
No further words were needed. A chilling saber aura erupted from both of them. Fight! Fight! Fight!
Heng Feijing drew his saber, which turned out to be a broken one.
The broken saber wasn't long. There was a steel ring at the end of the hilt, likely a variation used during saber manipulation. The blade was as clear as ice crystal. The broken edge bore four shocking diagonal bloodstains, marks left from slaying countless wicked and treacherous villains.
Its name was Tiger Break!
Qin Shuang also gripped the hilts of Yong'an and Changning, but did not draw them.
Drawing the saber was also a crucial part of the Dream Slaying Saber Technique.
The auras of the two men continued to climb, reaching their peak almost simultaneously.
"Clang!" The Yong'an saber was drawn. Vermilion Bird Slash!
Saber shadows flew, saber light like the wings of a Vermilion Bird, covering the sky and pressing down overwhelmingly. In that moment, the world lost its color in Heng Feijing's eyes; it was pitch black.
Many people around had practiced the Dream Slaying Saber Technique, but just witnessing Qin Shuang's first move filled them with shame.
Cold! Arrogant! Powerful! Perfect! And this was only Qin Shuang's first saber strike!
Heng Feijing stood firm, as calm as a mountain, until the saber wind stung his skin. Only then did he raise his saber and counter-slash. Tiger Break moved from bottom to top, against the wind!
The fourth style of the Seven Styles of Heavenly Saber, Heaven and Earth Split Open!
"Clang!" The two sabers met, the fierce collision splashing countless shattered stars. Heng Feijing broke through the darkness with a single saber strike, and light returned to the earth!
Qin Shuang certainly didn't think he could defeat Heng Feijing with one move. The Changning saber in his left hand had already followed up, slashing, thrusting, and chopping in one fluid motion.
Before the saber momentum could age, Heng Feijing's wrist sank, and the Tiger Break saber handle knocked aside the Changning saber. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed the second style of the Seven Styles of Heavenly Saber, Endless Regret, its momentum continuous, striking directly at Qin Shuang.
In terms of saber speed, Qin Shuang might not be as fast as Xiao Ding, but in terms of relentless offense, he hadn't seen anyone more enduring!
With the Kirin Battle Break from the Dream Slaying Saber Technique unleashed, saber light rained down like a downpour, seemingly without end.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!" The two sabers continuously clashed, emitting a series of ear-piercing sounds.
The onlookers retreated, not just because of the harsh noise, but also because of the sharp saber energy that scattered outwards, tearing at their clothes and skin.
If they didn't retreat, they would be injured!
On the training ground, only saber light could be seen, and people were hard to find. Looking at the dust stirred up by the fierce battle, everyone couldn't help but have the same thought: the younger generation today is truly more ruthless than the last!
It was unknown how many moves had been exchanged between them. Qin Shuang and Heng Feijing had both entered a profound state, forgetting themselves and the world, feeling invincible!
"This is exhilarating! Take this next move!" As the words fell, Heng Feijing leaped into the air, Heavenly Saber intent overflowing from his body. The sky-shattering saber intent carried endless rage.
A giant phoenix formed from countless saber shadows condensed in mid-air, its power immense.
The final style of the Seven Styles of Heavenly Saber, Seize Love with a Saber!
Looking at the saber-shadow phoenix in the sky, Qin Shuang felt Heng Feijing's surge of grief and anger. He didn't understand the source of this anger, but he deeply felt the power contained within this move.
"Good one!" Qin Shuang gritted his teeth, holding the Yong'an saber horizontally, his body covered in blue light. Mocking Wind's Howl!
Mocking Wind's Howl was a unique secret technique of the Dragon Guard's hereditary families, allowing the user to briefly enter a very mysterious state. In this state, the Dragon Guard could use the Dream Slaying Saber Technique more smoothly and powerfully.
Qin Shuang gripped the saber with both hands, briefly accumulating power, and unleashed continuous left and right slashes. Suppressing Gluttony directly met the saber-shadow phoenix.
The Yong'an saber, carrying unparalleled force, dispersed the pincer attack of the saber-shadow phoenix's "wings." Following that, the sharp and piercing strike of Kun Peng Leap shattered the "body" of the saber-shadow phoenix. Finally, the Yong'an saber seemed to merge with Qin Shuang's arm. The killing move, Vermilion Bird Drinks the Sun, met the "head" of the saber-shadow phoenix, point against point, a head-on collision!
Heng Feijing's entire being was integrated into this move, every strike. Myriad saber shadows converged into this final blow, the saber light concentrated at a single point, like a phoenix's beak pecking a dragon, splitting metal and stone.
Qin Shuang's saber arose from his heart, his heart moving with his thoughts. As soon as the thought arose, the saber light arrived. With every gesture, all the saber intent in his body converged into this single move. Killing intent and saber intent, arrogance and talent, were all displayed to their fullest in this strike!
"Clang!" With a powerful, sky-shattering clash, Heng Feijing's Tiger Break flew out of his hand. The Yong'an saber, carrying residual force, slashed towards Heng Feijing, seemingly about to cleave him in two.
Suddenly, the Yong'an saber shattered!
It turned out that in the previous clash with Tiger Break, the Yong'an saber had already been overloaded and had developed cracks. Finally, under the powerful saber intent of Qin Shuang's Vermilion Bird Drinks the Sun and Seize Love with a Saber, it could no longer bear the strain and shattered into pieces.
However, the move Vermilion Bird Drinks the Sun still left a deep bloodstain on Heng Feijing's brow, extending to the tip of his nose.
Qin Shuang, holding the Yong'an saber with only its hilt remaining, let out a long sigh. A surge of warmth traveled through his body from his dantian, finally converging in his mind. At this moment, Qin Shuang felt an unprecedented clarity of mind!
Heng Feijing was not to be outdone. Powerful energy surged through his meridians and acupoints, showing no sign of fatigue after the great battle.
The two of them, through the tempering of this battle, had both officially entered the Postnatal Peak realm!
"I lost!" Heng Feijing admitted generously.
"No, I only had the advantage of a secret technique. How about a draw?" Qin Shuang said with a smile.
Heng Feijing looked into Qin Shuang's clear eyes, which were filled with sincerity. "Alright!"
