1997 Knife and Sword Battle
Sponsored Content
The knife and the sword made a crackling noise when they clashed . The knife and sword airs broke at the same time .
Slashing . Thrusting . Swiping . Han Sen and Lone Bamboo’s techniques were very simple, but they were also very deadly .
The battles before had been stunning enough, but this was a genuine fight . They had only been comparing skills before this . Now that they were fighting, their movements were simple and direct, without any added flair or style . But even so, every single attack was incredibly scary . Life and death were one misstep apart .
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The knife and the sword kept attacking . The sword airs and the knife airs were running at maximum power, and the swordmind and knifemind of the fighters swirled around the arena .
Their minds were growing in strength as the terrifying fight progressed, and suddenly, they were breaking into a King class tier of battle . They were like wild horses that couldn’t stop running .
“Their minds are still increasing . This is cheating! Are they going to become deified? They are just Earls!”
“They have ascended so high because the depression is driving them forward . They cannot escape the effect it is having on them . ”
“If they are Earls, why are they fighting so far out of their league?”

“It is a shame that if they keep fighting, there won’t be a winner . It will be a tragedy no matter who comes out on top . ”
“It’d be a tragedy if they did not fight, as well . For now, Brother Bamboo has faith . If they stop fighting, his perseverance will be consumed by the depression . ”
“It would be useless to continue the exams after this fight . No one else could stand up to either of those two . ”
Yun Suyi was so scared . She grabbed Yun Sushang’s shoulder . Her heart was thumping with every knife and sword flash . She looked pale .
Yun Sushang held her hand and comforted her .
“Master, if they keep fighting, the depression will affect them more and more . Should we stop them?” Thousand Feather Crane could see that their situation was a poor one .
Yun Changkong shook his head . “It is too late for them to retreat . If they do that, they will die . For now, they can only proceed . They are going through hell, so they have to keep going . They need to survive in death . If they do this, they might have a chance . ”
“Survive in death?” Yun Suyi quickly asked .
Yun Changkong sighed and said, “The depression will only increase as they fight . But this is also a release of that energy . Lone Bamboo kept it suppressed for the longest time . If he is able to unleash it all now, there is a hope he will end up fine . It’ll be difficult, but there is nothing else he can do . ”

“What about Han Sen? Does he need to release energy?” Yun Suyi asked .
Yun Changkong shook his head . “It is the opposite for him . He does not need to release anything . He is being affected by Lone Bamboo’s depression . The demon resides inside Lone Bamboo, so Han Sen is fighting to keep his emotions from destroying himself . He is fighting for his life right now; he won’t want himself to die . ”
“How this fight ends will depend on Han Sen . If he gives in to the demon and ends up wanting to die, Lone Bamboo will lose his purpose and give in to the demon, too . Even if Han Sen can withstand that demon, if he stops fighting with Lone Bamboo and allowing him to release his depression, things will end up the same . So, Han Sen cannot afford to lose to himself nor Lone Bamboo . ”
Hearing Yun Changkong, Yun Suyi grew more nervous than ever .
The minds of the two were strong . Under a King class shield, there was still a leak . Many of the Sky Palace students were affected, and their hearts were beating savagely in their chests . They wanted to die or destroy things .
There was a cloud in the sky, above the arena . The white cloud had a beast inside it . The cloud spread like water, covering the entire arena . It smothered the scary feelings permeating the arena, so the audience could not be affected .
“It is Dream Beast . Dream Beast removed their feelings . If their feelings reach a level a King class cannot handle…”
The students of Sky Palace felt better, but the beast in the cloud was quivering .
The King class elites could not withstand the feelings given off by Han Sen and Lone Bamboo . Their feelings were exceeding the range of a King class being . That was why the Dream Beast had to emerge and lend a hand in suppressing the emotions . It had to ensure the feelings and depression wouldn’t affect the students enough to permanently harm them . Not many people could carry such depression and keep on going, as Lone Bamboo had done .

Han Sen’s knife was moving like crazy, and his knifemind was going wild . His body was like a beast that could shred space .
Han Sen had received his deified knifemind from the scabbard, but he was just carrying it . It didn’t belong to him, so he could not use every ounce of its strength when he used it .
But now, underneath the rage of that depression, Han Sen had to exert all his power and knifemind to retaliate against his foe . His knifemind was drawing closer to him beneath that pressure .
And Han Sen was able to understand the Teeth Knife knifemind more, as well . It was assimilating with Han Sen . The knifemind had just been a tool, but now it was becoming one with his instincts .
Teeth Knife knifemind destroyed everything, and that destructive madness spurred Han Sen with the desire to live- even in the face of all that depression .
When Han Sen merged with the Teeth Knife knifemind, Ghost Teeth Knife became stronger .
Ghost Teeth Knife followed Han Sen because of the deified knifemind he possessed . It was not following Han Sen explicitly . So, with Han Sen limited ability to use the deified knifemind, he still hadn’t been able to unlock Ghost Teeth Knife’s true power .
But when Han Sen combined with the deified knifemind, Ghost Teeth Knife’s true power was triggered through Han Sen .
Boom!
Han Sen felt the scary power of Ghost Teeth Knife flow out of the knife . If he hadn’t awakened it, the demon would have lost control . A mark on Lone Bamboo’s forehead cracked . An eye opened there, and it began to bleed .
Han Sen had seen Thousand Feather Crane’s eye, which was perfectly clear . Lone Bamboo’s was different .
Lone Bamboo’s Sky eye was full of a murderous feeling . The mere sight of it could shake someone’s soul .
When the Sky eye opened, Lone Bamboo’s power increased . It was unbelievable . With dismaying speed and strength, he teleported in front of Han Sen .
