Only a few experts vaguely knew what [ One Sword ] was going through, and they were deeply shocked.
Could this [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] actually be a 'Soul-type Grand Mage' who's pretending to be weak? Such an anomaly could only be caused by extremely loud soul-type magic!
Sun Fei turned his head and glanced at Xindi, the Magic Princess of the Bulan Kingdom [ First Goddess ], who was also sitting in the VIP area watching the match. This opponent of his next match was a super expert with profound magical attainments and a deeper understanding of magic than himself. She should have noticed some clues by now!
To Sun Fei's surprise, when he turned his head, he found that the aloof and noble Magic Princess, who was like an ice queen, was actually looking at him through the veil covering her face, her bright eyes as clear as autumn mountain spring water.
Their eyes met, rubbing together silently in the air, sparks Mars in all directions.
For a moment, they were both stunned, and saw an indescribable look in each other's eyes. When Sun Fei looked over, the Magic Princess simply nodded slightly, then turned her head back to continue watching the match.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
[ Silver-Armored Berserker ] finally began his offensive.
He displayed astonishing strength, wielding a luxurious silver sword, his figure soaring into the Zongheng, moving back and forth like a fleeting glimpse of a startled swan. In an instant, he touched the threshold of perfect unity between body and sword. The silver sword was omnipresent in his hand, moving with extreme speed. The sword marks left behind a dazzling, blurring silver shadow, as if countless white peacocks were spreading their tails in the air, or as if sparkling crystal flowers were blooming in the void, beautiful yet ruthless.
The sword flashed like a shuttle, enveloping [ One Sword ] from all directions, front, back, left, and right, as he stood motionless with his eyes closed.
The vibrations of the two luxurious silver swords on either side grew increasingly intense. The silver sword in the hands of the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] was even more ruthless, transforming into a flying goose, following the figure, suddenly leaving a trail of streaks from the right, silently slashing towards [ One Sword ]'s throat.
[ One Sword ] kept his eyes tightly closed, seemingly oblivious to everything.
Gasps of alarm rose around the testing platform. Countless people seemed to already see blood splattering and heads rolling, as one of the biggest favorites to win this year's championship was reduced to a ghost by this stunning One Sword.
However, just as the sword was about to strike, [ One Sword ] finally reacted, leaning back slightly.
The silver sword light grazed silently past [ One Sword ]'s throat.
After missing it by a hair's breadth, the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] twisted and flipped in mid-air, his body reversing inexplicably like a tumbling windmill. His longsword drew a sharp circle, forming a gleaming arc in the air, like the blade of a giant axe, and slashed down from above towards [ One Sword ], who had not yet straightened up.
The change in this move was unbelievable; it happened in the blink of an eye, yet with extreme speed.
[ One Sword ]'s feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move at all. His eyes were tightly closed, and beads of sweat the size of needles had appeared on his forehead. His slightly backward body fell backward sharply. He seemed to sense the killing intent coming towards him, and in his haste, he continued to lean back, his feet slightly turned outward.
Clang!
The Silver-Armored Berserker swung his One Sword, striking between the feet of One Sword.
Sword light flashed, and blood splattered.
[ One Sword ] The ankle was injured by the sword energy, and a spray of blood flew out.
"Ah, [ One Sword ] is injured..."
"Unbelievable! What did I just see? [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] actually suppressed [ One Sword ]? He even injured [ One Sword ]! If I remember correctly, this should be the first time [ One Sword ] has been injured since the start of the competition, but I wonder if it's the first time [ One Sword ] has been injured since his debut!"
"Could today be the day for a major upset?"
"Incredible..."
The tens of thousands of people around the timetable immediately erupted in an uproar, discussing the matter. Some were almost speechless with shock, while others rubbed their eyes vigorously. No one had expected that [ One Sword ] would be injured in such a match, and even face the danger of defeat and death.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
On the sword-testing platform, sword energy swirled and Zongheng. The [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] became one with his sword, as if lifting it up. In the blink of an eye, the vast space of the Number One Sword-Testing Platform was filled with phantom images of silver swords like peacocks spreading their tails, cutting through the void silently and elusively.
Hiss hiss hiss!
The sounds of clothes tearing echoed as sprays of blood gushed from [ One Sword ]'s body. His linen robe was ripped apart, with bits of cloth flying everywhere, leaving him in a sorry state.
In the VIP area in the distance, a group of powerful figures turned pale and looked on in surprise.
Sun Fei's movements were lightning fast. He stared intently at the duel taking place on the sword-testing platform. He had initially thought it would be a meaningless match, but who knew that such an unbelievable situation would arise? Sun Fei could feel the passivity of [ One Sword ]. Being in the [ Sorrows, Joys, Partings, and Reunions Sword Formation ], he was clearly unable to catch his opponent's sword moves or even his opponent's actions. He could only rely on the instincts of a strong person to Dodge continuously, but he could not avoid getting injured.
This was probably the most embarrassing match [ One Sword ] had ever faced.
Sun Fei guessed that at the beginning, [ One Sword ] must have felt the hidden power in [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] just like him, and was very interested in this power. That's why he didn't use his killing move at the beginning, but instead used [ Fine Rain Sword Intent ] to force [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] to show his true power.
Who knew that this moment of curiosity would lead him into such a passive and helpless situation, where he could neither advance nor retreat.
Just who is this [ Silver-Armored Berserker ]?
Not only was the [ Sorrows, Joys, Partings, and Reunions Sword Formation ] extremely bizarre, but the swordsmanship he displayed at this moment, merging his body with the sword, was even more astonishing. It took an unconventional approach, was incredibly strange, meticulous, fast and unparalleled, like a dream, silent and elusive, impossible to grasp. It was definitely not a conventional swordsmanship routine, otherwise [ One Sword ] would not have been in such a sorry state.
Besides Sun Fei, many other experts, including the Magic Princess [ First Goddess ] Xindi, Shevchenko, and [ Twin Peerless Beacon Fire Staffs ], were all horrified. Originally, many people had a neutral opinion of [ Silver-Armored Berserker ], thinking that he was all show and no substance, but too impetuous and flamboyant, completely lacking the awareness of a true master, and that his strength was not even worth mentioning.
But now it seems everyone was fooled by the [ Silver-Armored Berserker's] performance!
On the Number One Sword-Testing Platform.
[ One Sword ]'s face finally showed impatience and anxiety.
This was the first time he had ever been so disheveled, and he finally became angry. At this moment, his body was covered in a mixture of sweat and blood. In his guilty conscience and confusion, all kinds of emotions, such as joy, sorrow, anger and happiness, came crashing down on him. His ears and eyes were stinging with an unusual pain. Finally, he forced himself to raise his Dou Qi, and a vast and mighty Dou Qi qi soared into the sky. The huge shock wave shot out in all directions like a hurricane.
"Pfft..." Just as the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] was about to strike with his sword like One Sword silver thread, he was struck by this enormous and boundless power. It was as if he had been hit by a giant steel hammer. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward and staggered back more than ten steps before he was able to stand up steadily.
"Boom..."
A wave of gasps and exclamations erupted around the testing platform.
"It's a pity that your strength cannot match your swordsmanship!" [ One Sword ] still stood quietly between the two swords with his eyes closed. His hemp shirt was torn in countless places, and blood and sweat poured down his face. He looked extremely disheveled, but his calm demeanor and the powerful confidence in his tone were terrifying.
"Submit to me, and I will spare your life!" [ One Sword ] finally opened his eyes, looking at [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] in the distance, whose mouth was constantly oozing blood, and said calmly.
"Pah! You want me to submit? Beat me first! Do you think you're the King of Chambord?" [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] spat out a mouthful of blood.
[ One Sword ]'s expression changed, and he sneered, "So what if he's King of Chambord? You're no match for me. Are you not convinced?"
"Pah! Answer me first if you beat me."
[ Silver-Armored Berserker ] chuckled disdainfully. As he spoke, he once again activated the sword technique with his luxurious silver sword. Silver flames blazed brightly, and instantly the [ Sorrow and Joy Sword ] and [ Parting and Reunion Sword ], which were stuck in the Sorrows, Joys, Partings, and Reunions Sword Formation and Joy Sword Formation in the ground, trembled violently again. A series of silver rings and carved patterns on the hilts emitted an increasingly beautiful wind chime sound, which surged into [ One Sword]'s ears like a tide.
The demonic sound rose again, and [ One Sword ] had no choice but to close his eyes once more.
"Hahaha, the moment I drew my sword, you closed your squinty eyes and still said you wanted me to submit to you?" [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] knew that the opponent in front of him was a formidable foe, and that the same sword technique would be ineffective against him. In an instant, he changed his sword technique again, which was even more unpredictable and bizarre.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
[ One Sword ] was once again splattered with blood, indicating that he had been injured again.
"I didn't want to kill you." [ One Sword ] sighed, still relying on brute force to overcome skill. Seeing that his opponent's Dou Qi spirit was weaker than his own, he did not draw his sword, but instead unleashed another surge of surging Dou Qi.
With a muffled groan, the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] was sent flying again, his arms hanging limply at his sides. It seemed that the [ One Sword ] strike had broken both his arms.
"With both arms gone, can you still wield a sword?"
[ One Sword ] is so proud. The first time he asked someone to submit to him, he was rejected. He would never ask again. Moreover, [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] mentioned Sun Fei's name. The battle with Torres revealed that [ One Sword ] had long harbored murderous intent towards Sun Fei. Naturally, he would not show any mercy to [ Silver-Armored Berserker ], who seemed to be inclined towards King of Chambord.
He had already decided to kill him!
Third update.
