"You need a knife," Han Sen said.
Phyllostachys Longipes nodded and said, "Yes, I need a knife."
After that, Phyllostachys Longipes bowed in the direction of Sky Palace and said, "Soldiers, please lend me your knife. I am Phyllostachys Longipes."
After Phyllostachys Longipes spoke, a green light came from Sky Palace. It was like a rainbow, and it came in front of Phyllostachys Longipes. It was a long, green knife, and the blade had a spring pattern.
The knife floated in front of Phyllostachys Longipes, and the sound of the knife was loud and clear. The Sky Palace students who were wielding knives couldn't stop their own weapons from vibrating.
"Thank you."
Phyllostachys Longipes bowed to the knife. He reached out his hand to grab the handle, and the knife stopped vibrating.
When Lone Bamboo grabbed the knife handle, the knife became one with him. There was no longer any distinction between a person and a knife. It was like the knife had become a part of his body. It was like an extension of his arm.
"The name of the knife is Spring Heart. It is a King class weapon," Phyllostachys Longipes said to Han Sen seriously.
"Ghost Tooth. It is a King class weapon," Han Sen said.
"Brother Phyllostachys Longipes managed to get a King class weapon to fight Han Sen. This Han Sen is not simple."
"After all, he is Knife Queen's student, and he is using a King class weapon. Brother Phyllostachys Longipes has to use a King class weapon. Otherwise, he would be at a disadvantage."
"It is rare to see Brother Phyllostachys Longipes be so serious."
Yu Jing was excited. Phyllostachys Longipes had asked a King class weapon to fight Han Sen. It showed how important Han Sen was to Phyllostachys Longipes. It also showed how strong Han Sen was. It gave Yu Jing hope.
The two of them finished talking, but they didn't draw their knives. They just held their knives and looked at each other. But there was an indescribable power rising from their bodies.
Han Sen hadn't attacked yet, but his power was getting scarier. It was like a beast was roaring inside him. Phyllostachys Longipes's power was like a sharp blade piercing through the clouds. It didn't matter if the wind or the rain, it wouldn't budge....
As the momentum continued to increase, due to the contact between the two of them, the sound of air exploding could be heard. It was as if there were two invisible forces entangling in the air.
"That is a scary knifemind. It's almost solid," someone said in shock.
"That knifemind is like a King class elite. How did they do it?"
"Phyllostachys Longipes is fine. After all, he has been through a thousand lifetimes. He was a knifemind master in his dreams. That makes sense. But why does Han Sen have a knifemind like that? Did he go through a thousand lifetimes and become a knifemind master?"
Yun Suyi couldn't help but ask Yun Sushang, "Sister, between Han Sen and Phyllostachys Longipes, whose knifemind is better?"
Yun Sushang had a wry smile. "Their knifeminds are as good as a King's. I am not qualified to judge."
First Day quietly said, "Phyllostachys Longipes has been through a thousand lifetimes. His will is as good as any King class elite's, and even deified elites'. I did not expect Han Sen to have such a strong will. I wonder how he did it."
…
When the knifeminds reached their peak, the two of them swung their knives at the same time. Neither of them retreated. They used all of their power.
When two people met on a narrow path, the stronger one would win.
Dong!
Sabers collided with sabers, souls collided with souls, and strength collided with strength.
The sound of the collision with the soul trembling exploded from where the blades met. In the next second, the blade flashed wildly between the two. The blades kept colliding, and the broken blade energy cut everything around the two, but neither of them took a step back.
One step was a king, and one step was a bandit. If they retreated, they would lose.
The knife lights between the two of them created a green and a purple current. They kept hitting each other, and the sound of them hitting each other became one line. It was impossible to tell the distance between the two knives.
When the torrents collided to the limit, a powerful force exploded between them, forcibly pushing both of them back dozens of meters.
Boom!
In the next second, everything between the two of them turned to dust. A giant crater was formed.
Phyllostachys Longipes's eyes were burning. He held the handle with his left hand and raised it above his head. He slashed down at Han Sen like he was punishing a god.
The green knifelight was like a line that separated Yin and Yang. It extended toward Han Sen. It was like everything in the world would be cut in half by that knifelight. It was like black and white, sky and earth, yin and yang. It was like they were not supposed to be together.
Han Sen looked serious. He swung his Ghost Teeth Knife in a weird circle. When the sky-like knifelight hit Han Sen's knife circle, it was twisted by the spinning knife circle.
When Han Sen shouted, the knifelight circle took Phyllostachys Longipes's knifelight and slashed back at Phyllostachys Longipes.
"Great!"
Phyllostachys Longipes shouted. He didn't fall back. Instead, he moved forward. He swung his Spring Heart Knife and slashed the knifelight. The knifelight broke the knifelight, and the knifelight that had been reversed followed Phyllostachys Longipes's attack back to Han Sen.
Han Sen did not fall back. He held Ghost Teeth Knife high above his head and slashed down at Phyllostachys Longipes' knifelight. A knifelight air roared like a giant beast as it hit Phyllostachys Longipes' knifelight.
The saber light collided in the air. It was like a stream of water colliding with each other. They fused together and quietly melted away.
It was just a few slashes, but it was enough to make people dizzy. Many people had no idea what was happening.
"After seeing their knifelight skills, I realize I have wasted all my time practicing," a Marquise said with a sigh.
"Those two guys are too scary. I would rather fight a Marquise than someone of the same level as me," an Earl said, his face pale.
He tried to put himself in the shoes of the two fighters, but it didn't matter if he was in the shoes of Han Sen or Phyllostachys Longipes, they were both killed.
An Earl next to him agreed. "Their level can no longer be determined simply by rank. Although they are still Earls, even a Marquis would not have much of a chance of winning against them."
"It is no wonder Knife Queen accepted an outsider as a student. If he can fight Phyllostachys Longipes like this, then Han Sen must be a monster."
The fight was harder than Han Sen thought it would be. He pushed his Teeth Knife and knifemind to the max, but he still couldn't suppress Phyllostachys Longipes. It was a tough fight, and if he made a single mistake, he'd lose.
The ordinary disciples watching the battle were mesmerized.
Every saber strike of the two was brilliant beyond compare.
But sometimes, after watching a saber strike, they were still reflecting on the beauty of it.
The two of them had already fought countless saber strikes.
It made people wish they had the ability to replay and slow down, so that they could watch every saber strike carefully.
At some point, many famous Sky Palace elites had come to the exam. Many of them were Kings, and they were all there to watch the fight.
