Chapter 537 Sword of Dominance
Chapter 537 Sword of Dominance
"Then here I come!"
Wang Ming immediately kicked his feet and lunged at Yuan before swinging his sword.
Clang!
Yuan blocked the strike with ease.
Wang Ming didn’t think too much of it and continued to attack Yuan relentlessly, displaying precise and powerful sword techniques.
While he blocked every attack, Yuan examined Wang Ming’s cultivation base, and to his surprise, Wang Ming emitted an aura belonging to the 7th level Spirit Warrior!
Besides the grand elders, Wang Ming has the highest cultivation base out of everyone he has met before.
Of course, this was only possible since Wang Ming belonged to the Wang Family that has known about cultivation way before the rest of the world, allowing him to start cultivating at a very young age.
However, even then, he was only at the 7th level Spirit Warrior, still 3 entire levels below Yuan.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As the fight got longer, it also grew more intensive.
The spectators could hardly blink, as they feared that they might miss the decisive moment the second they decide to blink.
Furthermore, every time their swords clashed, it would make the spectators’ hearts throb with excitement, almost like there was a drum playing.
’I can’t break through his defenses! And his strikes are incredibly heavy!’ Wang Ming was at a loss for words.
Although he’d expected Yuan to be a challenge for him, he didn’t think it would feel so powerless, almost like he was before an immovable mountain.
’Since it has come to this, let’s see if you can handle my sword technique!’
Wang Ming suddenly stopped his attacks for a moment to cover his wooden sword in his spiritual energy.
Yuan immediately noticed the change in Wang Ming’s sword, but he didn’t panic.
’Let’s see how powerful his sword technique is!’ Yuan eagerly anticipated Wang Ming’s sword technique, silently wondering to himself if he would be able to defend against it.
"Yuan, if you can defend against this sword technique, it’s your win!" Wang Ming announced to him.
This surprised the spectators.
"Wang Ming is using his sword technique?! Isn’t that too much in a friendly exchange?"
"I think he’s doing it because he’s left with no other choice. Meaning that he doesn’t believe that he can defeat Player Yuan without this sword technique. Just how powerful is Player Yuan to push Wang Ming to such a state?"
"Not only does Player Yuan have his mysterious movement technique that makes it impossible to hit him, but even his sword mastery appears to be very good. If you ask me, I think he belongs to a secluded cultivation family that’s outside the Six Spiritual Families!"
"Do these secluded families really exist? I mean, there are always rumors about their existence, but we haven’t seen any of them even to this day."
Meanwhile, after taking a moment to prepare his sword technique, Wang Ming was finally ready.
"Here it comes, Yuan!" Wang Ming warned him before releasing the sword technique.
Yuan tightened his grasp on the sword and prepared for it.
’Sword of Dominance!’
Wang Ming’s eyes flickered with a golden glow for a moment before he released his sword, sending a semi-transparent golden arc of light at Yuan.
"!!!"
Yuan immediately used his sword to block the incoming arc of light, but he had a bad feeling about it.
However, he wasn’t going to dodge it, and he intended on taking it head-on.
Whoosh!
The arc of light flew at Yuan at incredible speed and arrived before him almost instantly after it was released, and the moment it touched the wooden sword in Yuan’s grasp, it sliced the wood easily.
If it were not for the metal core inside the wooden sword, the arc of light would’ve gone straight through.
However, the metal wasn’t enough to defend against the arc of light and was also being cut.
"Dodge it!" Wang Ming realized that he’d gone too far with this technique and might actually harm Yuan, perhaps even kill him.
Of course, Yuan also had a feeling that this arc of light would go through his body once it cuts through the sword.
And right as before the metal core was cut in half, Yuan sensed the danger and subconsciously reacted.
Whoosh!
A profound aura emitted from Yuan’s body, sending chills down everyone’s spine, and the half-broken sword in Yuan’s grasp suddenly gushed with a sharp aura that sliced the arc of light in half and seemingly with ease.
"W-What kind of sword technique is that?!" Wang Ming exclaimed in a shocked voice when he witnessed his arc of light destroyed.
"Huh?"
Yuan also didn’t know what happened and looked at the sword, and to his complete surprise, there was a familiar yet otherworldly aura covering the sword— it was Sword Qi!
He had somehow managed to use Sword Qi!
However, the moment Yuan lost his focus, the Sword Qi also disappeared.
The instant the Sword Qi disappeared, the half-broken sword completely broke in half, leaving everyone there speechless.
After a long moment of silence, a defeated smile appeared on Wang Ming’s face, and he clasped his hands before Yuan.
"Thank you for the exchange, Yuan. It was an incredible experience for me, especially since I don’t usually have anybody that can fight me equally, much less defeat me. We should spar with each other more often— without using any sword techniques, of course."
"Likewise, it was also a good experience for me." Yuan clasped his hands together while still holding the broken sword.
"Now that is out of the way... If you don’t mind, can you tell me what kind of sword technique you’d just used? I have never seen anything like that before— not even in Cultivation Online." Wang Ming then asked him, his gaze filled with interest.
