Lin Mo roared in anger and charged again, Sword Intent rising to its peak. Thirty percent Sword Intent spread around him like an icy domain as he unleashed a storm of thrusts and sweeping cuts. Every strike targeted Li Yun's throat, wrists, heart, and knees.
Li Yun answered each attack with calm precision.
Sometimes he blocked.
Sometimes he parried.
Sometimes he moved like lightning using the Heavenly Lightning Codex and appeared elsewhere before the strike could finish.
Every time Lin Mo thought he had seized control of the rhythm, Li Yun shattered it.
Every time Lin Mo increased pressure, Li Yun met it without the slightest panic.
Then the decisive moment appeared.
Lin Mo launched a heavy downward slash, intending to crush Li Yun's defense through force.
However, Li Yun saw an opening through his Nine Tribulations Divine Eye.
The moment the blade descended, Lin Mo's centerline opened for a fraction of a second.
That was enough.
Li Yun stepped in with lightning speed.
