Chapter 834 - 833: Defeating Wu Jianqiu
Sensing something was amiss, Wu Jianqiu dared not delay for a moment. He too took a step forward, the longsword above his head moving forward with him.
With that one step, the sword’s radiance in the sky directly increased by ten percent, and the speed of the falling swords increased by the same margin.
Facing such a sudden escalation in the offensive, Su Yang showed not the slightest hint of panic. On the contrary, a shade of joy appeared on his face.
Wu Jianqiu’s action had proven Su Yang’s guess correct. The essence of The Art of Thousand Swords rested upon Wu Jianqiu himself; all its power did not come from thin air but was entirely drawn from Wu Jianqiu.
Moreover, there was one crucial aspect to The Art of Thousand Swords: the aura must align with the sword aura. The stronger the aura, the stronger the sword aura.
Therefore, even though Wu Jianqiu dared not let Su Yang get close, he also couldn’t afford to retreat. The moment he retreated, his aura would weaken, and naturally, his sword aura would also diminish. In such circumstances, he had no choice but to push forward, increasing his sword’s force, hoping to repel Su Yang.
However, this meant Wu Jianqiu had to expend much more energy. At this moment, Wu Jianqiu’s body trembled; it was evident that he was struggling to hold on.
Understanding the situation, Su Yang naturally wouldn’t step back. Still facing the barrage of sword radiance, he moved forward step by step.
The sword radiance put tremendous pressure on Su Yang, now it felt like he was carrying a mountain, making each step exceedingly difficult to take.
The sword radiance that struck Su Yang slashed countless wounds across his body. Yet, he did not retreat and continued to advance step by step.
Even then, Su Yang did not resort to using the Celestial War Armor. He knew well that if he used the armor, he could easily block the sword radiance. But doing so would likely intimidate Wu Jianqiu, and Su Yang would then be unable to witness the full extent of The Art of Thousand Swords.
