Hong Qingtian and Nie Chong were both defeated by Su Mo.
They could not take more than three or four strikes from him.
After devouring their Dragon Luck, Su Mo’s Dragon Luck was now 273 meters long.
Soon afterward, Su Mo encountered Wu Sheng, the best swordsman of the young generation.
In the fighting ring, the two figures stood more than a hundred meters apart from each other.
The entire arena was in dead silence because it was rare to see a duel between two top swordsmen.
Su Mo stood tall and stared at Wu Sheng.
In a long gray robe, Wu Sheng began to look grim at the sight of Su Mo.
Wu Sheng knew very well that Su Mo was superior judging by his performance in the previous fights.
But in Wu Sheng’s eyes, there was still a ray of hope.
Duels between swordsmen were usually decided by a hair’s breadth. So, he still stood a chance of winning despite Su Mo’s superior strength.
“Su Mo, I know about your swordplay. I’m looking forward to this duel with you!” Wu Sheng said.
“As am I!”
Su Mo nodded. His fighting desire was fully stimulated at the thought of this upcoming duel with a top swordsman.
Wu Sheng’s sword was hung at his waist rather than on his back. With his sharp eyes staring at Su Mo, he slowly pressed his hand upon the sword hilt. The void was filled with the Sword Will of the Grand Completion of the 1st stage.
“Sky Destroyer!”
Wu Sheng teleported to approach Su Mo. He unsheathed his sword and released a stream of black Sword Qi, which was like a ray of twisted light sweeping toward Su Mo.
The strike was so swift and sharp that its Sword Qi did not even leave a trace in the calm and quiet air.
Su Mo kept calm and wielded his sword at the black Sword Qi.
“Boom!”
The black Sword Qi retook its shape after a short collapse and flew at Su Mo to attack him in the side.
Su Mo was not surprised at this strike because he had seen it before in Wu Sheng’s earlier fight against Huo Ling.
He released sword radiance to smash the oncoming Sword Qi.
Wu Sheng swiftly approached Su Mo and stabbed at his chest.
The sword ray still shone as if there were no distance for the black sword radiance to travel through. The sharp Sword Qi penetrated Su Mo’s clothes before the sword itself could reach his body.
With a wisp of wind playing across the blade, Su Mo slashed his Spirit-slayer Sword right at Wu Sheng’s sword tip.
“Clang!”
The thunderous sound pushed Wu Sheng back.
Wu Sheng frowned at Su Mo’s long sword. Apparently, the force it carried was much more powerful than his own. One hit was enough to make his arm go sore and numb.
“Prepare to take my strike as well!”
Su Mo swiftly moved his feet and then nimbly slashed at Wu Sheng. No sword radiance could be spotted at all. There was nothing but a breeze blowing by.
The strike was dimly discernible.
“So powerful!” Wu Sheng acclaimed inwardly, but he did not cower. He waved his long sword to smash the breeze into scattered puffs of air.
In the next instant, a hidden sword radiance flew at Wu Sheng’s shoulder.
Wu Sheng dodged and brandished his sword in self-defense.
“Clang!”
Another thunderous sound was heard. He perfectly took Su Mo’s strike.
“What a wonderful duel! They deserve to be top swordsmen. Their swordsmanship moves are so capricious!” a middle-aged man in the True Spirit Realm exclaimed in the spectator stands.
“Sure! Duels between top swordsmen are usually decided by a hair’s breadth!”
“I support Su Mo. He is superior to Wu Sheng in comprehensive strength even though Wu Sheng’s swordsmanship is better.”
As the discussions went on, the fight in the ring arrived at its critical moment.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
The entire fighting ring was filled with dazzling sword radiance and crossing Sword Qi. Every flow of air seemed to incarnate a sharp sword splitting the sky.
The space within a few hundred yards was covered by their Sword Will, which were piercingly cold.
Su Mo greatly enjoyed this duel. Long sword in hand, he fully displayed his Sword Will.
It was Wind Sword Will, sharp but capricious, while what was contained in Wu Sheng’s Sword Will was the realm of Killing Without Survivors.
Wu Sheng’s Sword Will was obviously more powerful and fierce compared to Su Mo’s Wind Sword Will at the Peak of the Late 1st stage.
In terms of comprehensive strength, however, Wu Sheng could not match Su Mo at all. So he still had a long way to go for his victory.
During the fight, Su Mo felt with his heart Wu Sheng’s Sword Will and his fierce killing desire, from which the sword essence was revealed.
When the critical moment was certain, Su Mo suddenly discovered that his Sword Will had greatly refined along with a breakthrough.
The Sword Will of the Grand Completion of the 1st stage!
“What? Su Mo’s Sword Will elevated to the Grand Completion of the 1st stage!”
“How can this be? He must have concealed his true Sword Will!”
“Did he just breach the bottleneck?”
The audience in the spectator stands burst into an uproar after perceiving Su Mo’s Sword Will.
Ao Wushuang kept calm as he believed Su Mo would be no match for him regardless of the elevation of his Sword Will.
The Ninth Princess frowned under her white veil. She was astonished by Su Mo’s incredible leaps in strength.
It was certain that Su Mo’s Sword Will had reached the Grand Completion.
In the fighting ring, Wu Sheng fell back instantly, putting a huge distance between Su Mo and himself.
“How can it be?”
Wu Sheng was stunned, but he was sure that Su Mo had breached the bottleneck rather than concealed his Sword Will.
Besides, it was through his Sword Will that Su Mo had made the breakthrough.
For there was a familiar realm found in Su Mo’s Sword Will, which was Killing Without Survivors.
It was inconceivable that someone could enhance their own Sword Will by perceiving another’s in the blink of an eye.
If it were that easy to comprehend and promote Sword Will, everyone would be a master in this respect.
Su Mo’s comprehension was astonishing.
Su Mo stood erect and his eyes lit up.
His Sword Will had already reached the upper limit of the Late 1st stage before the Grand Completion of the 1st stage, so there was only one step to go for the leap.
By feeling what was contained in Wu Sheng’s Sword Will, the step he had taken enabled him to enter the Grand Completion of the 1st stage, which greatly contributed to his force.
Su Mo smiled and said, “Wu Sheng, our battle is coming to an end!”
Now that his Sword Will had been strengthened, there seemed no need for a sword fight.
“Boom!”
Su Mo’s aura skyrocketed, and the nine Spiritual Spirals in his body started to swirl, with his Sword Will roaring.
The Spirit-slayer Sword gave off glorious radiance and its sword rays stretched out hundreds of meters.
Su Mo started to fiercely attack Wu Sheng.
“Swoosh!”
Holding the sword in both hands, Su Mo rose high and struck downward.
“Infinite Universe!”
The matchless sword impact hung over the space, and the overwhelming Sword Qi of thousands of meters was swiftly attacking Wu Sheng.
Faced with Su Mo’s formidable attacks, Wu Sheng’s defense was too vulnerable.
Only one strike flung Wu Sheng backward a few hundred meters.
The second strike threw Wu Sheng out of the fighting ring.
After devouring Wu Sheng’s Dragon Luck, Su Mo’s Dragon Luck was now 279 meters long.
For Su Mo, the only two opponents waiting ahead were the Ninth Princess and Ao Wushuang.
