"A dying struggle?"
The middle-aged Venerable raised an eyebrow and sneered. The next instant...
Clang!
His Long Sword struck Qin Hao's Treasure Sword with crushing force.
But what he expected did not happen. Instead, a strange sensation welled up in him, as though his sword had struck cotton candy. He had strength to spare but nowhere to use it.
"What's going on?" The middle-aged Venerable was startled.
His strike contained first-order Law of the Sword. By all rights, Qin Hao could not have blocked it. Yet now...
Qin Hao stood firm, his body swaying only slightly.
He had blocked it!
And held steady!
The middle-aged Venerable's expression changed. Without hesitation, he thrust his sword at Qin Hao again.
So this is how force is dissipated? Qin Hao's eyes burned with excitement. As the attack came, he again used the Great Heavenly Dipper Art to defend himself, but not in the form of a Defensive Barrier. This time, he channeled it through his Treasure Sword.
The Treasure Sword he was using was only Heaven Grade!
As the middle-aged Venerable's power crashed into him, Qin Hao immediately dispersed it in every direction. Fierce as the strike looked, less than half its force actually reached him!
With that, Qin Hao could naturally block it with ease.
Watching the middle-aged Venerable attack again, Qin Hao had a sudden thought. I'm dispersing the force of his attack outward. Then... could I use that force like Earth's Wrath and send it back at him?
He put the idea into action at once, raising his Treasure Sword across his body as the middle-aged Venerable closed in.
Boom!
The immense power of first-order Law of the Sword slammed into Qin Hao's Treasure Sword. Just as before, the moment that force struck the blade, it began to scatter.
"Go!"
