Seeing Through

At Broken River Bridge, sword energy turned bone-chilling.

Two figures darted and wheeled like startled rabbits and swooping falcons, leaping through the air at lightning speed. Their swords rang like thunder, as though ancient Thunder Gods and Lightning Gods were clashing with the might of heavenly lightning.

Clang, clang!

The dense ringing of swords went on without pause. Shattered sword energy burst in every direction, riddling the stone bridge with countless holes like a honeycomb.

The watching martial artists had long since retreated far away, yet they felt the trip had been worthwhile.

"Gu Qi Xing truly deserves his reputation as the most gifted Sword Son of the demonic sect. He's actually been exchanging sword blows with Elder Jiang, the Flower Washing Divine Sword, all this time..."

"His sword is like a flood dragon, and the moment it emerges, thunder rings out... Only today do I understand the supreme realm of the sword path! All my bold claims in the past were laughable... Sigh, I'll go back and cultivate in seclusion for another twenty years. I won't emerge until I become a Grandmaster!"

"As long as Gu Qi Xing doesn't die before his time, he'll surely rise to become a First-Rank Grandmaster in the future, perhaps even reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm... But for now, he's still a step below Elder Jiang!"

Clang!

Suddenly, the two swords clashed, and the figures sprang apart.

Gu Qi Xing fell silent and raised the Seven Star Sword in his hand.

Countless chips had appeared along the famous blade. They grew larger and larger until it finally exploded into countless fragments.

Though his Seven Star Sword was no divine weapon or demonic blade, it was still a peerless renowned weapon. Yet in the end, it could not withstand the strain.
