The sword's silhouette flickered, bypassing the area entirely as the Cyan Sword thrust toward Xu Wuyi's left.
Xu Wuyi blocked with a horizontal sweep of his long spear.
CLANG!
The instant the spear and sword met, Xu Wuyi felt an incredibly pure "piercing" Intention travel up the shaft of his spear, aimed straight at the core of his consciousness.
This wasn't a physical impact, but an attack on the spiritual plane.
Even with a 99% Simulation Level, virtual combat could never replicate a Sword Intention that attacked one's consciousness so directly.
Xu Wuyi grunted. The dark-golden great marsh of his Heart Image rippled violently, forcibly engulfing and crushing that wisp of Sword Intention. The effort, however, consumed nearly ten percent of his Power of Heart Image.
"Not a bad reaction." The Sword Intention embodiment retracted his sword and stepped back, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. "Your Heart Phase Traits can devour external wills?"
Xu Wuyi had no time to answer.
