"Wind Greatsword."
"Rain Greatsword!"
As before, Qin Hao activated only the Wind Sword Domain and Rain Sword Domain.
In fact, Qin Hao had released both domains the instant he stepped onto the platform. This had two advantages: it kept him ready to fight at any moment, and it also...
The Wind Sword Domain and Rain Sword Domain were, at least in Qin Hao's eyes, support-type domains. To some extent, they let him sense Wang Xuan's fast sword in advance.
Two Giant Swords formed at once, barring the way before Qin Hao again.
Boom! Boom!
Two muffled impacts rang out.
This time, they came almost simultaneously.
Clearly, Wang Xuan's strike was stronger and faster. It shattered the Wind Greatsword and Rain Greatsword so quickly that the two impacts sounded simultaneous.
Qin Hao did not even glance at the two Giant Swords, as though he had known all along how they would fare.
His figure flashed. With the Wind Sword Domain's aid, he shifted left once more...
Qin Hao did not appear to move quickly, but it all happened in the time it took sparks to fly from flint.
Bang!!!
Before any light appeared, a sharp sword struck where Qin Hao had stood. The ground shook, and even the Arena trembled slightly.
Only after the lightning sword struck the Arena did its dazzling sword light belatedly arrive.
This strike... was faster than its own light.
A faint radiance enveloped Qin Hao. An instant later, it faded, revealing his face, calm as ever.
Below the Arena, everyone held their breath and stared without blinking at it.
Yet before many of them could make sense of what had happened, the second strike was over.
"What happened?" someone asked, utterly bewildered. They had heard only three muffled impacts, and then the second strike had ended.
