Although this strike was powerful, Xia Chuan knew deep down that it wasn’t much of a threat to Yuwen Dao, it couldn’t decide the outcome with just one blow.
"Ah!"
Just as he expected, Yuwen Dao didn’t turn to dodge this strike but instead roared and pressed forward, forcing the Sword Puppet’s right leg blade into the ground, even making it completely sink into the earth.
Crack...
The Sword Puppet knelt down, and the already taut threads suddenly snapped back. Xia Chuan heard a crack from his finger bones, and his expression changed drastically.
Bam!
Despite the shock on his face, Xia Chuan’s Black Blade still struck Yuwen Dao’s back.
However, Yuwen Dao also had a Superior Battle Body.
This blow, which Xia Chuan didn’t use his full strength on, didn’t break his skin membrane, and didn’t even fully crush his body.
"Minister, please forgive me!"
Yuwen Dao roared, withdrew the broadsword pressing down the Sword Puppet, and suddenly turned around to slash at Xia Chuan’s chest.
"The real target is still Xia Chuan!"
Not only Xia Hong, but all the Cold Resistance Level observers on the scene saw the intention.
Yuwen Dao’s target from beginning to end was Xia Chuan.
The concentrated attacks on the Sword Puppet, pressing down its right leg blade, were all to lure Xia Chuan closer.
Taking the blow on his back and swinging back with the broadsword was Yuwen Dao’s real aim.
His timing was nothing short of astonishing!
"This is an innate combat instinct, unrelated to talent, something that can’t even be trained, Yuwen Dao is a born combat master. This isn’t a life-and-death battle, otherwise Xia Chuan might really..."
Before Xia Hong could finish his thoughts, the following scene completely changed his mind, and his gaze towards Xia Chuan changed instantly.
Sss...
The threads were retracting too quickly, creating a sharp hissing sound as they rubbed against the air.
Shushushushu...
The Sword Puppet began to shake rapidly, and the ground around its right leg erupted with dust and gravel flying.
The whole ground was uplifted in the midst of flying dust and stones.
Bam... Bam... Bam...
"The right leg blade of the Sword Puppet is spinning!"
"So fast, it’s opened with edges on all four sides, that’s why the ground got plowed open."
"The Sword Puppet doesn’t need to stand up; it can attack directly from the ground."
.........
Whoosh!
Just as those behind Xia Hong discussed, the Sword Puppet’s shaking was due to its right leg buried in the ground starting to spin rapidly.
The already four-edged blades, by spinning, directly overturned the ground and even attacked towards Yuwen Dao’s back.
Yuwen Dao, swinging the broadsword horizontally, sensed the strike coming from behind but still refused to give up, continuing the slash towards Xia Chuan’s waist.
Slosh...
Xia Chuan couldn’t break Yuwen Dao’s skin membrane because he wielded the sword single-handedly.
But Yuwen Dao’s sword was different; he used both hands, and it came after a circular swing for power.
The sword edge cut through his waist, and Xia Chuan’s lower abdomen immediately bled profusely.
This was the most serious injury in tonight’s combat match.
All the Cold Resistance Level spectators’ faces changed; they turned to look at Xia Hong ahead, and seeing his expressionless face, they relaxed.
Bam...
With his waist split open, Xia Chuan’s body was blasted away like a cannonball.
But he only flew over ten meters before stopping.
With his nearly Eight鬃 strength, Xia Chuan shouldn’t have been knocked only that far; he still had unbroken threads in his hands, what was he doing...
In Yuwen Dao’s mind, thoughts spun rapidly, his expression changed shockingly, and he fiercely drew his sword and turned.
But his speed was too slow.
Crack.....
The swiftly rotating right leg of the Sword Puppet first struck his broadsword, then its arms and left leg, with three rapidly spinning four-edged blades, all collided with his broadsword.
Bam!
The Sword Puppet was controlled by Xia Chuan, and the strength it could exert was at most Xia Chuan’s limit strength.
So Yuwen Dao gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength to hold the sword, and ended up blocking the force of the four blades.
