In that fleeting moment of confrontation, both Wang Junze and Yang Junjie had actually exerted all their strength!
It must be acknowledged that in terms of raw power, Yang Junjie still far surpassed Wang Junze, which is why Wang Junze was heavily injured while Yang Junjie was nearly unscathed.
However... in a situation where both sides had already exhausted their strength, Wang Junze managed a counterattack against all odds.
One side had already exhausted their energy, while the other was able to launch a more ferocious counterattack immediately; the outcome was naturally self-evident. For more chapters visıt novel•fire.net
But why... did Wang Junze still have the strength to counterattack?
Watching Wang Junze swing his sword again in that moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Not just the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect, even the true disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect who had previously crossed swords with Wang Junze were bewildered!
No, it simply doesn’t make sense!
Wang Junze’s power was obviously inferior to Yang Junjie, otherwise he wouldn’t have sustained such a heavy injury, but under these circumstances, how does he still have the energy to counterattack?!
Did this power just appear out of thin air?
Almost as Wang Junze swung this sword, Liu Wangchuan’s eyes revealed a hint of tension. Without any hesitation, he immediately reached out his palm, turning into a mighty Spiritual Energy Giant Palm, blocking Wang Junze’s sword!
"Liu Wangchuan, are you cheating?"
With a cold hum, Luo Bingyun suddenly drew her sword, and a dazzling sword light arrived first, directly shattering Liu Wangchuan’s palm in the air!
The life-and-death battle was proposed by the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect, and Liu Wangchuan had just not opposed it, yet now he wanted to intervene and stop it; how could Luo Bingyun let him have his way.
Almost at the same time, Wang Junze’s sword landed ruthlessly on Yang Junjie!
The sword was too fast, Yang Junjie, already exhausted, could barely react, instinctively leaning backward trying to avoid the vital spot.
But this sword emitted several fierce wind blades, attacking indiscriminately. Even though Yang Junjie indeed avoided the sword edge aimed at his head, he couldn’t evade these wind blades. In an instant, his body had seven or eight bloody holes, and he fell heavily to the ground!
"Junior Brother Yang!"
In an instant, the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect hurriedly stepped forward trying to save him, but it was already too late; the wind blades from the sword directly shredded Yang Junjie’s organs, and before he hit the ground, he was already dead!
For a moment, the entire Sword Peak was silent, even the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect hadn’t expected that this battle would truly end in life and death, and... the one dead wasn’t Wang Junze, but the Four Symbols Sect’s Yang Junjie.
But, what on earth happened with that sword just now?!
The wind blades from that sword couldn’t possibly be Wang Junze’s power!
"This is impossible, what demon technique did you use, how could you conjure up a power out of thin air?" With a trace of hatred in his eyes, a disciple of the Four Symbols Sect suddenly stood out, pointing at Wang Junze and cursing: "No, Wang Junze, what sinister treasure did you use?"
The talk of a demon technique is mere anger, but a sinister treasure is very likely!
After all, in a situation where both sides had exhausted their strength, taking advantage of the chaos to use a treasure to attack could indeed kill Yang Junjie. This is almost the most plausible truth of the current situation.
"You were the ones who proposed a life-and-death duel, in a mortal combat, even if a treasure is used, it’s not out of reason, right?"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect also replied defiantly.
Actually, most people hadn’t quite understood what happened with the last sword, even these disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect subconsciously believed that Wang Junze might have really used some treasure!
After all, Wang Junze had previously obtained a legacy from the ruins, if he had received some bizarre treasure from the ruins, it wouldn’t seem impossible.
"Nonsense! Even in a life-and-death duel, it is a contest, if everyone randomly uses treasures, what kind of contest would it be, competing whose magical treasure is mightier? If that’s the case, doesn’t our sect have treasures?" A disciple of the Four Symbols Sect shouted harshly again.
His words did carry some truth and weren’t entirely unreasonable.
However... Wang Junze never used any treasure!
"If you’re foolish, don’t come out and make a fool of yourself." With a sneer, Luo Qingxuan suddenly interjected: "It’s laughable, not even understanding sword techniques, you blindly concoct some treasure... Aren’t you embarrassed?"
Luo Qingxuan’s rebuke instantly brought silence to everyone, incredulous eyes looked towards Luo Qingxuan.
Even from an opposing standpoint, the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect understood that with Luo Qingxuan’s status, she wouldn’t publicly fabricate such lies, not only does it diminish her status, but it’s also too easily exposed.
After all, no matter how clandestine a treasure is used, it couldn’t be hidden from truly top-tier experts!
Liu Wangchuan was right here, it couldn’t be hidden from him.
But... could it truly be that no treasure was used, then is this sword really an extraordinary sword technique?
With a sigh, the leading youth of the Four Symbols Sect gestured to stop his fellow sect members, speaking softly: "This duel, indeed we lost! Power cannot appear out of thin air because... that sword used was indeed the power Junior Brother Yang unleashed!"
This statement instantly puzzled the surrounding disciples who did not know the truth.
Yang Junjie’s own power?
"A very powerful swordsmanship! When faced with Junior Brother Yang earlier, it already borrowed the power Junior Brother Yang unleashed, and perfectly reverted this power back... Truly ingenious, this must be the Sword Dao legacy you gained from the ruins, isn’t it?"
The youth looked at Wang Junze and asked again.
Although he had slain Yang Junjie, Wang Junze himself was also severely wounded, his face extremely pale, now even standing seemed somewhat difficult, but upon hearing the youth’s words, he still raised his head, showing a slight smile, and calmly replied: "Indeed, this swordsmanship is called Chess Swordsmanship, and the sword that killed him... is called Endgame!"
Using such a sword in front of so many people, there’s no point in hiding the name of the technique, it’s better to openly acknowledge it, further spreading the name of Chess Swordsmanship across the world!
"Chess Swordsmanship, is it? I’ll remember it!"
With a slight nod, the youth said lightly: "Rest assured, I won’t take advantage of the situation, but... we’ll have the chance to cross swords again!"
After finishing, the youth turned straight into the crowd of disciples from the Four Symbols Sect.
