Tense!
Everyone held their breath!
In the Central Plaza of Sword Pool City, everyone stared at the Arena, dumbfounded.
No one had expected Qin Hao to send Wang Xuan flying with a single sword strike this time. Wang Xuan quickly steadied himself, but he had undeniably been sent flying.
What did that mean?
"Qin Hao was mostly defending and dodging before. This was the first time he'd truly faced Wang Xuan head-on, yet he sent him flying..."
Someone murmured, "Could Qin Hao be that much stronger than Wang Xuan?"
Many found it impossible to believe. Someone as powerful as Wang Xuan was no match for Qin Hao?
To the crowd, what they had seen was simple enough: Qin Hao and Wang Xuan had clashed again, and Wang Xuan had been driven back.
As for the technique behind Wang Xuan's strike, the vast majority had missed it.
Wang Xuan knew better.
As one of the combatants, Wang Xuan understood every crucial detail of Gap-Seeking, the second move of his Lightning Sword Art.
He had sparred with others before. Even a Grandmaster at the Saint Martial Realm Sixth Layer might not have perfectly blocked his attack.
Yet Qin Hao had blocked it!
And sent him flying!
"I don't believe it! Qin Hao, so what if your Destruction Sword Domain is powerful? You're still going to die today!"
Wang Xuan went completely berserk. With a roar, he swung his lightning sword at Qin Hao again.
This time, he did not use Gap-Seeking, the second move of the Lightning Sword Art. He switched to the third move—its strongest.
"Frenzied Lightning!"
Whoosh!
The lightning sword descended.
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!...
Bolts of lightning filled the Arena in an instant, whipping wildly through the air. One struck the Arena, splitting its surface open into a massive fissure.
