Ge Zi and Yun Shui Tian Long looked at each other. Yun Shui Tian Long was puzzled by Ge Zi’s sudden surge in strength. He couldn’t understand how this guy’s power had increased so noticeably after a single trip. Not only Yun Shui Tian Long didn’t understand, but Ge Zi himself didn’t either. However, Ge Zi knew that this was the best opportunity to deal with Yun Shui Tian Long. With his enhanced strength, he was sure to win. His aura erupted as Ge Zi assumed a fighting stance. Yun Shui Tian Long knew that Ge Zi’s strength had increased, but he couldn’t escape.
He remembered what his master had said: reinforcements would be sent, and he just needed to hold on until they arrived. By then, Ge Zi would be as good as dead. He had to persevere. Without any panic, he showed a confident smile. Seeing Yun Shui Tian Long’s confident smile, Ge Zi felt something was amiss. He scanned the surroundings for a hundred miles, and everything seemed normal. Ge Zi didn’t know where Yun Shui Tian Long’s confidence came from. Was it his strength or a trump card? If it were a trump card, it would make sense.
Ge Zi needed to be cautious of Yun Shui Tian Long’s trump card. He wondered what trump card made him so confident. He held the Divine Spirit Shield in front of him and gripped the Divine Spirit Sword tightly. Yun Shui Tian Long’s arms elongated, growing into curved sabers. The curved saber slashes streaked through the air. Ge Zi and Yun Shui Tian Long charged at each other. Ge Zi swung the Divine Spirit Sword, its power and the saber light’s strength significantly enhanced. This strike had the power to cleave the heavens and earth. Yun Shui Tian Long looked at this astonishing strike and swung his arms directly.
He moved his arms back and forth, resisting Ge Zi’s Divine Spirit Sword. The sounds of their clash were constant. Their collision was visible, unlike Chen Tian’s level where movements couldn’t be captured by the naked eye. The moment the Divine Spirit Sword descended, Yun Shui Tian Long dodged directly. His arms aimed for Ge Zi’s head. Ge Zi raised the Divine Spirit Shield to block. The curved sabers struck the shield, only generating sparks. Ge Zi forcefully pushed with his shield, sending Yun Shui Tian Long flying. Yun Shui Tian Long steadied himself. Ge Zi’s Divine Spirit Sword was already waiting. As the sword descended, Yun Shui Tian Long crossed his arms, directly trapping the body of the Divine Spirit Sword. The power flowed from Ge Zi’s hands.
He slashed downwards, and Yun Shui Tian Long’s curved sabers shattered. Yun Shui Tian Long retreated rapidly. He looked at his arms, his secondary weapons destroyed. This guy’s weapon quality surpassed his own. A long saber appeared in his hand, and a black longsword in his right. A long saber in his left and a longsword in his right. One person wielding two types of weapons. This was Yun Shui Tian Long’s strongest state. Knowing Ge Zi’s strength, he couldn’t afford to be careless. There weren’t many people who could make Yun Shui Tian Long use dual weapons.
At least in this world, Ge Zi was the first. Ge Zi’s eyes widened upon seeing Yun Shui Tian Long’s saber and sword. He was slightly surprised, wondering if this guy could multitask. It took a cultivator a long time to perfect a single weapon, requiring constant accumulation of experience and study. Ge Zi’s Divine Spirit Shield and Divine Spirit Sword were designed as one, essentially a single weapon. Furthermore, a shield and a sword were not conflicting, but a saber and a sword were both offensive weapons.
“It must be a sword style and a saber style of the same nature, otherwise it’s impossible to wield two weapons at once.”
Ge Zi had a sudden realization and understood. As expected, Yun Shui Tian Long, wielding the saber and sword, attacked first. The longsword thrust forward with relentless speed. Ge Zi’s Divine Spirit Sword blocked the strike. The swords clashed, and both sides resisted. A saber light streaked towards Ge Zi from the right. Ge Zi ducked his body, and the saber slash grazed his hair. Ge Zi lifted his left leg and kicked at the saber. Yun Shui Tian Long saw through Ge Zi’s intention, threw the saber upwards, retracted his hand, and the saber flew towards the top of his head. Ge Zi’s kick missed.
The longsword changed its trajectory, chaining into an arc. The sword and sword rubbed against each other. Ge Zi’s Divine Spirit Sword swayed in his hand. Ge Zi knew Yun Shui Tian Long’s moves. The Divine Spirit Shield suddenly appeared in his hand, and he slammed it down. Seeing the tip of the Divine Spirit Shield heading towards him, Yun Shui Tian Long directly abandoned the longsword. The sword slipped from his hand, and he jumped, catching the face of the Divine Spirit Shield and moving upwards. Above Ge Zi, Yun Shui Tian Long gripped the saber and thrust it straight down.
Ge Zi’s Divine Spirit Shield merged with his arm. The Divine Spirit Shield on his arm was raised high. This attack could break through the Divine Spirit Shield’s defense. The saber struck the Divine Spirit Shield, but not a single sound was made. Yun Shui Tian Long didn’t seem surprised by this outcome. A beam of light shot out from behind Ge Zi. Only then did Ge Zi notice the longsword. The longsword had somehow appeared behind Ge Zi and was stabbing towards him. Yun Shui Tian Long’s true killing move was the longsword, not the saber. The longsword, under Yun Shui Tian Long’s mental control, moved towards Ge Zi’s neck.
Ge Zi remained calm, bringing the Divine Spirit Sword behind him. He slightly raised his arm, and the body of the Divine Spirit Sword directly blocked the tip of the longsword. Ge Zi swung his arm, flinging the longsword away. He moved his arm forcefully, and the Divine Spirit Shield exploded with power, sending Yun Shui Tian Long flying. Yun Shui Tian Long stood to the side, the longsword returning to his hand under his mental command. Ge Zi praised, “Not bad, the technique of multitasking is very skilled. Unfortunately, whether it’s the longsword or the saber, they are of the same style. If the two styles were different, I wouldn’t have it so easy.”
The reason Yun Shui Tian Long could use two weapons simultaneously was that their offensive styles were the same: both were overbearing. Whether it was the saber or the sword, Ge Zi only felt the domineering nature in the moves, nothing else. One had to know that swords and sabers were completely different weapons, and their styles of use were diverse. A person’s combat style determined their weapon style. An overbearing, extreme attack was easy to defend against. It was simply too straightforward.
The moves and patterns were too simple to see through. If Yun Shui Tian Long’s longsword and saber styles were different, Ge Zi would have had a harder time dealing with him, as if facing two Yun Shui Tian Longs. Overbearing attacks were often simple and unadorned; if one could resist them, the opponent couldn’t continue their offense.
Ge Zi understood this. He had been passively defending since the battle began. Yun Shui Tian Long couldn’t inflict any substantial damage on him. Ge Zi had seen through his opponent’s attack patterns. Seeing Ge Zi’s relaxed demeanor, Yun Shui Tian Long’s eyes became serious. What this guy said was right. He could only achieve this much. It was impossible to improve unless he continued to hone his combat experience.
“Kid, don’t get cocky. You’ll definitely die before I do.”
The thought of his master sending reinforcements made him confident that Ge Zi would have to face death obediently. The feeling of panic disappeared.
“I really don’t know where you get your confidence from. Is it a trump card? Or someone else?”
Ge Zi was clearly trying to trick him into talking. Yun Shui Tian Long simply shut his mouth and remained expressionless, so Ge Zi couldn’t discern anything.
As for why the other party was confident, that was something Yun Shui Tian Long himself would have to answer.
Yun Shui Tian Long gripped his weapons tightly, channeling power. It seemed he was about to go all out.
Ge Zi was not to be outdone. Both entered the next round of combat. Ge Zi would end the battle in the next round.
Two beams of light collided, and the resulting explosion echoed through the sky. The void swallowed the two figures. Ge Zi and Yun Shui Tian Long entered the void to fight. Sounds constantly emanated from the void, with rumbling booms. The two were engaged in a full-power clash.
