While speaking, he snapped his fingers, and the bronze sword beside the bamboo sofa rose into the air, turning into a beam of light that shot towards David.
This seemingly slow sword attack effectively blocked all angles of David’s evasion.
David’s heart was pounding, and he subconsciously wanted to parry with brute force, but suddenly he remembered Mo Chen’s words. He quickly turned his wrist, and the Dragon Slayer Sword wrapped around the bronze sword like a snake.
With a gentle movement along the ridge of the sword, he diverted the power of the bronze sword to the side. The moment the two swords crossed, he turned his wrist again, and the blade now aimed directly at the hilt of the bronze sword.
“Clang!” The bronze sword fell to the ground with a loud thud.
David stood there stunned. The enlightenment he had just received was like a sudden awakening. He felt his spiritual power surging within him, and the bottleneck of the seventh level of the Free Immortal Realm shattered. An even more powerful force filled his limbs and bones—eighth level of the Free Immortal Realm!
“You’ve achieved a breakthrough?” Hu Mazi exclaimed in astonishment. “It’s only been a few days! David, your cultivation speed is truly amazing!”
Mo Chen stood up, walked to David, and for the first time showed a satisfied smile: “Not bad, you immediately understood. Your understanding is much better than my understanding before.”
Just then, a Sword Sect disciple rushed into the courtyard, shouting excitedly, “Senior Brother! Master Mo Chen! The once-in-a-century Sword Saint City Sword Tournament is about to begin! All the major sects are registering!”
David’s heart pounded, and he asked, “What is this swordsmanship tournament?”
The Sword Sect disciple explained the sword tournament to David.
“Swordsmanship tournament?” Hu Mazi rubbed his hands. “That sounds interesting David, why don’t we go take a look?”
David looked at Mo Chen and saw that he was slightly frowning, apparently not very enthusiastic, and he didn’t know why.
Several days later, news of the sword tournament spread throughout Holy Swordsman City, and all the major sects registered. Even some sword cultivator families from thousands of miles away sent people to come.
The Sword Sect disciples couldn’t hold back, and some of the core disciples, including Ling Xue, even came to Mo Chen and begged to participate.
“Teacher, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Even if we don’t win the prize, we can still witness sword techniques from other sects!” Ling Xue said solemnly.
Mo Chen was silent for a long time before finally shaking his head: “Your strength is still too weak. This tournament is full of hidden talents, and many sects will do anything to win the rankings.
“But…” Ling Xue wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Mo Chen.
“Especially the Divine Sword Manor,” Mo Chen’s voice thickened, “They hold a long-standing grudge against my Sword Sect. Their disciples are notorious. If we meet them at the conference, they will show no mercy.”
