The sword had yet to arrive, but its intent was already there.
A keen sword force brimmed with sharp metal intent, revealing Xu Chongjian's profound comprehension of metal-type true intent.
Mysterious Thunder True Lord neither dodged nor retreated. He held the Thunder-Pattern Sword across his body to block.
Clang! Metal rang against metal.
The golden streak was knocked aside, tracing an arc past Mysterious Thunder True Lord before flying back into the sword formation.
Then.
Mysterious Thunder True Lord shook the Thunder-Pattern Sword in his hand and took the offensive.
His Sword Ray moved like a silver snake, leaving winding trails through the air.
Every strike carried crackling fragments of lightning.
His constitution did not suit the Heavenly River Sword Art. Even if he forced himself to comprehend the true intent it contained, his progress would be slow.
Thus, he cultivated a thunder-type divine ability collected by the sect.
Unfortunately, this thunder-type divine ability did not mesh with his primary cultivation method.
It had even slowed his cultivation progress.
Heavenly Water True Lord had reached the middle Nascent Soul stage partly because he was well suited to the Heavenly River Sword Art.
Xu Chongjian's expression grew solemn, his sword fingers moving nimbly as he directed his swords.
In an instant.
The five elemental flying swords wove a net of swords before him.
The Azure Sword moved nimbly, entangling Mysterious Thunder True Lord's Sword Ray, while the Crimson Sword blazed fiercely, meeting his attacks head-on.
The Golden Sword was razor-sharp, seizing opportunities to counterattack, while the blue sword formed a dense defense, dispersing the lingering force.
The final yellow sword was as solid as a mountain, shielding his entire body.
Each of the five swords performed its own role. Working in perfect harmony, they neutralized Mysterious Thunder True Lord's fierce attacks
