If the attack had been one governed by the Law of Ice, Lu Yang might have fallen for it again.
But this time, what attacked him was saber qi!
Earlier, on the Heavenly Saber Plaza, Lu Yang had already reached the realm of Will like a Blade. His perception of saber qi, saber momentum, the True Meaning of the Blade, and the Blade Path Law was extraordinarily keen—almost instinctive.
The instant that pitch-black blade light came slashing toward him, Lu Yang instinctively struck out with a blade of his own, hitting its weak point dead on.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the sky, saber qi collided and blade lights flashed wildly, endless blade energy scattering in every direction.
Though he had shattered the other blade light, Lu Yang didn't dare let his guard down for even a moment.
That intense sense of danger from before still lingered in his heart.
Even with his eyes closed, he could sense that his opponent, hidden somewhere out of sight, had already swung a second blade.
A faint voice rang out once more above the sandy ground.
"Shatter Stone!"
A blade light several times more powerful than the last came crashing down from above. It cleaved through the blade lights scattered across the sky and fell straight toward Lu Yang's head.
Lu Yang immediately circulated the true essence of the Thunder Path within him and sent another blade light slashing upward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two peerlessly fierce blade lights collided head-on once more. They were evenly matched, and both exploded into nothing.
"Urge Mountain!"
The voice above the sandy ground was as still as an ancient well. Another pitch-black blade light came slashing toward him. It looked no different from the previous two, yet the surrounding space was cut open as smoothly as silk.
