Following a twist of his wrist, his body moved with the war saber, which like the nimble flow of a mountain stream, drew a mysterious arc around the trunk, aiming for the neck of the young man in white.
"Uh? This lad's saber technique!"
The sudden change of move took the young man in white by surprise.
Seeing the war saber about to strike his neck, he quickly ducked, narrowly avoiding the blade.
Then, with a quick roll to the ground, he instantly distanced himself and looked at Lu Qing with incredible shock.
He didn't know how many tis he had been surprised by Lu Qing since they'd t.
But the saber technique Lu Qing displayed was too unexpected for him.
From sheer hardness to the utmost softness, this lad was able to switch so smoothly without any sign of difficulty.
Even he had never seen such a level of saber technique realm before.
"Harmony of Strength and Gentleness, ticulous to the extre, a Saber Master! Did you kill Lao Qi, kid?!"
Instantly, the young man in white recalled the sight of Lao Qi's corpse in the Naless Valley, and an exclamation escaped his lips.
Lao Qi had been decapitated and his leather armor split open, but the injuries on his body were not severe. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
Clearly, the enemy's strength was insufficient to cut through Lao Qi along with his armor in one strike.
At the ti, he had found it odd that soone could so easily kill Lao Qi despite their lack of strength.
Now, witnessing Lu Qing's saber technique, he finally had an epiphany.
If it was this lad, then surely Lao Qi had no chance to fight back.
Lu Qing ignored the young man's shocked exclamation in white.
He knew that the 'Lao Qi' the other party ntioned must be Tong Canglang.
But for such a question, he wouldn't respond. While the young man in white was still ntally unsettled, Lu Qing's gaze sharpened, he strode forward, and swung his saber again.
"Hmph, what if you are a Saber Master, you're just in the Muscle Bone Realm, am I supposed to be afraid of you!"
The young man in white was equally annoyed to see Lu Qing disregarding his words.
Although he didn't know how Lu Qing, at such a young age, managed to cultivate his saber technique to such a realm.
But a realm also requires strength to support it.
If a martial artist from the Internal Organ Realm, even soone newly entered into the Internal Organ Realm, displayed Grandmaster-Level saber moves, he'd surely have to flee in defeat.
But it was different for soone in the Muscle Bone Realm.
The gap in cultivation between major realms isn't so easily bridged.
Facing Lu Qing's fierce strike, the young man in white shook his Soft Sword and thrust swiftly, aid right at Lu Qing's saber-wielding wrist.
Lu Qing twisted his wrist, avoided the thrust, and without altering his movent, continued the chop forward.
Ting ting ting...
The sound of saber clashing with sword was incessant, with silver light interweaving.
In just an instant, they had exchanged blows dozens of tis.
One had profound cultivation and imnse strength with astonishing sword speed.
The other possessed a deep realm of saber technique, with exquisite moves that flowed as he wished.
For a ti, neither could gain the upper hand over the other.
Ting!
Another loud clash rang out, and Lu Qing easily blocked the young man's killing move in white.
The young man in white then used the rebound force of that strike to retreat far back, temporarily out of Lu Qing's attack range.
This ti, Lu Qing didn't continue to chase, standing still as well.
Seeing Lu Qing so composed, the young man in white clenched his teeth in resentnt.
If it weren't for his right hand injury and the unfamiliarity of using his left hand with the sword, Lu Qing wouldn't have been able to block his moves so easily.
Now, he, a martial artist of the Internal Organ Realm, was fighting to a draw with soone from the Muscle Bone Realm, an outright humiliation!
Watching the young man's disgruntled face in white, Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh.
He could see that although the other's swordsmanship was fierce, there was a slight discord between the moves.
That's because he was not adept at wielding the sword with his left hand.
Otherwise, Lu Qing feared it would have been more difficult for him.
Likewise, Lu Qing also knew that he was able to block the young man's offensive in white largely because the opponent was using a Soft Sword.
Soft Sword techniques rely on agility and surprise, and due to the nature of the weapon, no matter how strong one is, it won't be too overpowering.
Even in the Internal Organ Realm, one couldn't rely on that to overpower his war saber.
One could only seek to exploit vulnerabilities with clever moves for a fatal strike.
Unfortunately for the young man in white, his sword technique realm was much lesser compared to Lu Qing's saber technique.
Unable to surpass him in skillfulness of moves and unable to crush him with strength, this was why the young man felt so stifled.
The path of light and strange swordsmanship he took was exactly restrained by Lu Qing.
However, despite having the advantages of right timing and support, Lu Qing knew this was as far as he could go.
At best, he could only fight the young man in white to a standstill, but trying to defeat him was exceedingly difficult.
The Internal Organ Realm was indeed strong; even in a wounded state, he was not soone Lu Qing in the Muscle Bone Realm could easily defeat.
If the young man in white knew what Lu Qing was thinking at that mont, he'd be even more infuriated.
A re Muscle Bone Realm youth, relying on luck to fight him to a draw and yet unsatisfied, foolishly aspiring to defeat him personally, was sheer arrogance!
But the young man in white was currently struggling internally.
Under the current circumstances, regular exchanges wouldn't allow him to defeat Lu Qing.
Should he resort to using a Secret Technique?
The young man in white hesitated.
The Secret Technique could double his combat strength instantly, making defeating Lu Qing a non-issue once used.
But that was his last trump card, reserved for whatever mysterious force had injured him earlier.
Using it now would leave him defenseless against that mysterious force.
