Sword Among Us Chapter 895

Do Jin revealed his aggression, and his momentum gave off a great pressure to others!

Hanago hid the sharp presence of his katana in his sword, and he did not let spill even a sign of hostility.

Even though on the surface, Do Jin seemed to be suppressing Hanago with great strength and seemed to have the upper hand, only Do Jin himself knew that his sword will had been completely ignored.

Bright Sword Sect was skilled in being light and quick. Its sword will can change multiple times and transform according to the battlefield. It can also easily control the battle situation and even affect as well as transform the battlefield. It can be said to be the paragon of sword techniques.

However, when he ran into an opponent like Hanago, Do Jin will only feel resigned.

Regardless of what technique was used against certain opponents, once their perception and state of mind became steady, they can exclude all effects of the external world from them. Hence, if Do Jin met an elite who was at the same level as him, his sword will not be able to affect or sway their beliefs.

Hanago was clearly one such person.

When he faced Do Jin's sharp, cold, aggressive, and fierce sword will, he remained like an unmoving bedrock and only defended his heart. To him, Do Jin, who was supposed to have become one with his sword, was separate in his eyes.

Hanago revealed no openings.

“Take this!”

A few seconds passed. Do Jin scowled and moved like lightning. There was previously less than 98 feet between them, and now, in an instant, half of that distance was gone!

Clang!

A clear sword whine rose in the air.

'He attacked!'

More than one hundred Class One Hall members had come to watch the duel. At the same time, they found a sword light shining so brightly into their eyes that they were unable to get used to it.

It was sharp and blinding!

In fact, there was an instant where they were so dizzy that they lost their vision.

That included Dream Clouds, Evil Wolf, and the handful of people who can were considered good. Even though they were only watching from the distance, they felt a chill, as if they were right in the battlefield themselves.

This wave of dizziness did not last for a long time. Only half a second passed, but Dream Clouds and Evil Wolf were able to experience just how terrifying Do Jin's sword was.

Before his sword reached his opponent, his will was already capable of injuring someone.

This was the true meaning of using sword will to hurt someone.

If this sword slash landed on a normal elite such as Dream Clouds, even she will not be able to survive. Among all the people from Class One Hall members, only Barren Murderer, who had great defense, could use his physical body to block that slash.

Everything might seem to have happened over a long period of time, but in truth, it was over quickly.

When their vision recovered, Do Jin and Hanago were already fighting.

A bone chilling wind swept through the granite in the martial arts hall like thousands of blades. They let out light, grating sounds endlessly.

Hanago was completely engulfed in a layer of sword glares that were like an icy plain.

But Hanago did not seem to have expected that Do Jin's sword will had actually reached the state where it can injure people remotely. He frowned but still kept his eyes shut. He did not dare to be idle and kept changing his position and avoided the endless stream of fierce sword qis.

At that moment, one misstep will throw him from heaven to hell!

Clang! Clang!

No matter how fast he was, it was impossible for him to completely avoid Do Jin's Bright Sword Technique. When their weapons clashed, whining sounds rose endlessly. His black sheath released sparks from the clashes, and the onlooking Class One Hall members were all dumbfounded as they watched it.

Ting!

He moved his sword sheath.

While Hanago shifted, he avoided Do Jin's offense. At the same time, he will only raise his hand when he was forced to do so. He held his katana hilt with one hand, and with the other, he held his sheath.

Right then, he brought his katana horizontally up in one agile movement.

Then, a sword attack that came out of nowhere accurately struck his katana sheath, as if they had made an agreement beforehand to hit that part.

What caused Evil Wolf and Dream Clouds further shock was that when their weapons clashed, it seemed as if some sort of invisible force will fly out of the sheath. Do Jin's body shuddered slightly, and it was impossible for him to launch his second offense.

'Hidden force!'

Dream Clouds and Evil Wolf exchanged a shocked gaze, and they recognized the profound skill in this.

Hidden force was something that Drifting Sword, the sect master of White Robes Sect, told them. It was an ingenious move where the user had to shift their qi and perform minute manipulations on it during battle. If they can use hidden force perfectly, it was a move that can turn the battlefield and even increase the user's chances of victory.

The ingenious explosion of qi can quickly set up an enemy.

When those who did not understand hidden forces fought against those who knew how to use hidden force correctly, as long as the disparity in strength was not too great, the person who knew how to use hidden force will definitely be the one laughing at the end.

Each one of Hanago's blocks were ingenious, and he also used very little of his qi.

He moved in an unconcerned manner, brought his katana up, then changed his position again.

The rhythm of the fight might seem to be in Do Jin's hands, but Hanago moved around with ease, and Do Jin's offenses did not seem to have created any substantial damage on him.

Hanago seemed to be very used to this sort of duel. While he faced Do Jin's rapid offense, he relied on his ability to listen to Do Jin's position via the sounds he made and continued to whittle down Do Jin's qi.

“AH!” Do Jin might be using up his qi constantly while he shouted nonstop, but he did not show any signs of fatigue or having his momentum weaken. Instead, his sword will just came charging forward in waves, and it became fierce and more astonishing as time passed.

Shick! Shick!

The marks of the waves of sword qi had not been eye-catching on the sturdy granite floor, but gradually, those marks deepened. Those marks were now about two inches deep, and they were carved into the floor of the martial arts hall in a dense fashion.

The number of times Hanago was forced to block the attacks increased as well.

Even so, Hanago still never drew his katana. He just continued moving around steadily as usual while he blocked the sword forces that had clearly become much more aggressive.

“Hanago, you sure are good… Let's see how long you can endure this?!”

Do Jin seemed to be angered by Hanago. Just when everyone thought that he was already fighting at full strength, he suddenly stopped moving, and against everyone's expectations, he moved forward horizontally, and soon, waves of intersecting sword qi enveloped Hanago, who had coincidentally moved into his area of attack. The waves of intersecting sword qi were like a cage that had been built around Hanago previously. The waves of sword qi gave off a ghastly air and locked down all possible routes Hanago could use to escape.

“Bright Sword Technique… What a technique!”

This attack not only caused Hanago to widen his eyes in surprise, even Dream Clouds, Evil Wolf, and the others who watched by the side found it unbelievable.

Aside from having transcendent sword techniques, Bright Sword Technique also placed an emphasis on the word being adept.

It allowed the user to predict his or her enemy's movements.

Do Ji exerted force during the critical moment, and he finally forced Hanago into an obvious disadvantage for the first time ever.

However, just when everyone thought that Hanago was going to be forced to draw his katana to fight, Hanago did something that everyone did not expect.

“Get lost!”

When he faced the sword qi that came at him from everywhere, he stepped backward calmly, and his body instantly turned into a stream of afterimages.

He shot back at lightning speed.

That stream of afterimages were swiftly crushed by the fierce sword qi, but Do Ji suddenly turned around when he was halfway through his pursuit and changed the direction of his sword momentum at an even faster speed to attack the spot behind him.

Clang!

Hanago appeared thirty-two feet away from Do Ji, and his katana was positioned horizontally from his body. He stood safely from the battlefield, and there was a mysterious smile on his face.

“As expected from the successor of Master Bright Sword, I almost fell into your trap.”

“You're pretty good as well. I simulated more than thirty traps and laid them out carefully, but you managed to avoid them easily.” Some hints of the arrogance on Do Ji's face vanished, and now, in its place, was some hints of solemnness. “And I still didn;t manage to avoid your katana when you drew it.”

When he heard this, Hanago did not show any signs of smugness. Instead, he had a hint of a cold sneer appear on his lips. “You underestimate the ittoryu school if you're thinking of forcing me to draw my sword when you used less than seventy percent of your strength.”

When he said those words, the Class One Hall members around him sucked in sharp breaths.

No one had ever managed to leave behind such deep marks on the graphite in the martial arts hall when they fought inside.

The profound traps Do Ji laid just now had also made them think that the two elites were fighting in a duel to the death, but Hanago just mentioned that Do Ji had not even used seventy percent of his strength.

The group was instantly rendered speechless.

'Just what level are the foreign world of martial artists at?'
