Chapter 981: Chapter 636: Decisive Victory!
On the ice field, the wind and snow grew fiercer, snowflakes as thick as goose feathers densely interwoven, like a white curtain hanging between heaven and earth.
Qin Tian and Zhuang Xian stood over thirty meters apart, their invisible domains keeping the howling wind and snow at bay.
In Qin Tian’s hand, Black Frost pointed slantwise to the ground, with a faint purple lightning slowly flowing along the blade, the sword intent restrained and solemn; Zhuang Xian, on the other hand, gripped an ancient long sword, his sharp eyes locked tightly onto Qin Tian.
Zhuang Xian spoke first, his tone slightly low: "General Qin, I apologize in advance."
As he spoke, the wind spiritual energy around him subtly fluctuated, and an oppressive force belonging to a Tier Eight spiritualist quietly spread out.
Qin Tian slightly nodded, a calm and gentle smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"Elder Zhuang, please."
At the moment the word "please" fell, Zhuang Xian’s figure moved, disappearing like a phantom from the spot, utilizing the full speed of a Tier Eight spiritualist, surrounded by azure winds, moving as if stepping on the wind, leaving barely any trace.
A piercing sharp sound was heard as he crossed the thirty-odd meters, appearing instantly in front of Qin Tian.
The longsword was unsheathed with a clear "clang" that echoed across the ice field, the sword’s edge surrounded by azure winds, its rich wind spiritual energy unleashed without reservation.
In an instant, from the center of their encounter, a violent hurricane arose, blowing away the snowflakes, the fierce sword qi attacking Qin Tian’s face with a slicing sound that tore through the air, almost piercing Qin Tian’s throat in the next second.
Facing this overwhelming sword strike, Qin Tian’s expression remained unchanged, his eyes showing no panic.
Almost simultaneously with Zhuang Xian’s sword, he turned his wrist, and Black Frost, enveloped in purple lightning, was suddenly swung out with a loud "clang," the blade clashing fiercely with the sword, sparks flying, an immense energy shockwave spreading outwards.
The power of thunder from the Thunder Saber spread along the sword blade, causing Zhuang Xian to feel his arm go numb, as the violent thunder energy surged into his body through the long sword, making him instinctively step back slightly, a flash of intense shock in his eyes.
In a duel between experts, the depth of the opponent can be judged from the first exchange.
He never expected Qin Tian’s strength to be so formidable, even though they were a tier apart, he could withstand his full strike.
Before Zhuang Xian could stabilize his form, Qin Tian launched a counterattack.
The momentum of the Black Frost Saber changed, and a fierce sword intent exploded in an instant, the blade glowing with intensified lightning, transforming into a purple saber light sweeping towards Zhuang Xian, with a whistling blade wind carrying crackling thunder, the momentum terrifying.
Zhuang Xian’s eyes focused, his wrist flipping, the long sword quickly blocking, with a few crisp "clang" sounds, the sword blade and saber colliding repeatedly, each clash accompanied by sparks flying and energy shockwaves, their figures intertwined, leaving only trails of afterimages in the blizzard.
The "Wind Listener Swordsmen" reputation was truly deserved.
The swings of the longsword were like a sudden storm, each strike precise and fierce, the air splitting where the sword edge passed, forming invisible wind blades attacking Qin Tian.
His swordsmanship combined both speed and power, seamlessly blending hardness and softness, each sword strike appearing random yet containing exquisite pattern, closing off all of Qin Tian’s escape routes.
However, facing such a powerful opponent, Qin Tian remained unafraid, relying on excellent swordsmanship and agile body technique to respond calmly.
In his hand, Black Frost seemed alive, the sword momentum open and close, sometimes sharp and swift, sometimes steady and heavy, the purple lightning wrapped around the blade, each slash accompanied by crackling thunder.
His body technique was extremely flexible, weaving through Zhuang Xian’s dense sword moves, dodging each lethal attack, even if occasionally swept by the sword wind, he could minimize the damage with his formidable physique.
The two went back and forth, trading dozens of moves, sword shadows and saber lights intertwining, energy shockwaves spreading endlessly, the surrounding snow shook off layer by layer, leaving varying depths of marks on the ground.
On the surface, Zhuang Xian seemed to have the upper hand, his sword moves dense and fierce, pressing step by step, while Qin Tian was mostly in a defensive state, largely passive in blocking and dodging, with few opportunities to counterattack.
But with close observation, one could notice that although Qin Tian was mostly defending, he never exposed a single flaw, each block precise and flawless, each dodge perfectly timed, and even while defending, he occasionally launched one or two counterattacks, forcing Zhuang Xian to divert attention to deal with them, showing the gap between them was not so vast.
Outside the battlefield, the watching crowd had long held their breath, their eyes tightly fixed on the fight in the center, their expressions varied.
The three Tier Eight elders of the Dongfang Clan stood side by side, their eyes full of astonishment.
Clearly surprised that with just a tier difference, Qin Tian could hold his ground against Zhuang Xian, even they, with their Holy Blood, might not fare better than Qin Tian.
On the other side, Jia Zhuocheng and Fons Greym’s faces were filled with shock.
They initially thought this duel would be without suspense, that Zhuang Xian could defeat Qin Tian in just a few moves, but no one expected Qin Tian’s strength to be far more formidable than they imagined.
After Zhuang Xian, they too were to fight Qin Tian, and now it seemed those would be two tough battles.
In the center of the battlefield, Zhuang Xian’s inner shock also grew stronger.
He thought that with his Tier Eight advantage, he could easily suppress Qin Tian, but after trading dozens of moves, he realized how drastically wrong he was.
