Clang--
Without seeing how Enkō moved, the thousands of watching soldiers lost sight of him as his entire figure vanished from the spot, shattering the flying snow and kicking up a white wake of mist behind him!
A flash of a blade cut through the wind and snow!
Tenggu Tuo's gaze sharpened, and he stepped forward with both hands gripping his sword, his entire momentum condensing into a single point. His three-foot blade drew an arc, and relying on extraordinary combat intuition, he slashed toward his left side!
Clang--
Boom--
One black and one white blade met mid-air, the piercing shriek of clashing metal ringing through the heavens!
Unleashed force rippled down their bodies straight to their feet, instantly blasting apart the knee-deep accumulated snow. Caught in the violent momentum, it turned into a white storm swirling continuously around the two figures!
Crack, crack, crack--
The stalemate lasted only an instant before an earth-shattering screech erupted where the two swords met. The pitch-black Cold Edge sank inch by inch into the white blade of Remnant Snow, sending forth blinding bursts of sparks!
For the first time, a slight ripple appeared in Tenggu Tuo's eyes. He had not expected the opponent's sword to be so razor-sharp; his own blade had accompanied him for many years, and even now, it could be called an unmatched divine weapon.
Tenggu Tuo could not bear to see the sword that he considered a companion broken right before his eyes, and he slightly reined in the force in his hands to temporarily avoid the sharp edge!
While Tenggu Tuo held back his power out of heartache for his weapon, Enkō showed him no courtesy. He parried Remnant Snow and thrust forward abruptly, executing a tricky angle at blinding speed with his target locked straight onto Tenggu
