Swordlight Like Lightning, Horses Like Wind, a Thousand Riders Chase the Wind for Ten Thousand Miles

Every time Wang Chong struck, sparks of fire flickered and candle flames blazed brilliantly. His sword moves were outrageously powerful.

Mo Zhenxing, on average, only scraped a spark from his sword tip once in a dozen or so strikes. His sword was also much slower than Wang Chong's, only occasionally accelerating abruptly for a single stroke.

Dong Qing's Fire-Burning Eyebrows Sword Technique followed another path entirely. Though this sword technique originated from Wudang's Candle-Bearing Sword Technique, its foundations had long since become different. Wang Chong had no idea whether that Wudang traitor back then had mastered the Candle-Bearing Sword Technique, but Dong Qing definitely had not. His Fire-Burning Eyebrows Sword Technique used a very peculiar form of internal power in place of the Innate Pure Yang Formula. This peculiar internal power could drive nine sword strikes within a single breath, each strike building a little momentum to make the next fiercer and faster. But after that breath, there would be an instant of recovery, and his sword moves would have to build momentum from scratch.

This version of the Fire-Burning Eyebrows Sword Technique was still a sword art of peerless speed. Its average sword speed was far greater than Mo Zhenxing's, and many people could not even withstand a few rounds of Dong Qing's swift sword. Yet even the ninth strike, with its momentum accumulated to the peak, fell short of Mo Zhenxing's sudden stroke.

With Mo Zhenxing's Candle-Bearing Sword Technique, a dozen or so strikes could build up to one suddenly accelerated stroke, whereas the Fire-Burning Eyebrows Sword Technique's speed fell back after every nine strikes. Their sword arts countered each other in different ways, making this duel spectacular.

After watching for a while, Wang Chong worked out many "flaws" in his own swordsmanship.

Well, perhaps they were not
