Bai had taken advantage of the start of the trial to sneak out inside the Giant Sword Mountain. Due to the great Sword Intent all around, his own Space was hidden, being able to pass through the Spirit Hall's powerhouses' senses.
Landing on top of the Giant Sword and opening an entrance, he was sure that Renxue would also be there. Entering, he could feel a familiar suppression of his spirit energy, it was the same as during his 3rd trial.
When he found himself being attacked by swords, he couldn't help to click her tongue. If he was able to use his spirit skills, he wouldn't have any problem at all. His 5th skill could destroy them while his 6th replenished his overall energy. There was also the fact that the swords seemed to have some intelligence and didn't attack at the same time. If they were to group, Bai could get rid of them with one All Sword or Sword Heart, but using them to destroy the little number that attacked him at the same while the others waited their opportunity would be a waste of energy.
Bai continued forward, trying to find the exit. Efficiently using his energy to pass through all the swords that we're unable to cross his defenses. Nevertheless, he was continuedly being attacked, putting pressure on him.
Finally, he found that his supposition was right. Renxue was affecting his own trial. Moreover, he realized that to open the door, he would need to take care of all the swords. Bai looked at Renxue's golden eyes. She seemed confused by his presence, not knowing how to react, but looking at her eyes Bai knew that she wouldn't directly attack him.
Bai nodded at her at the same time that she nodded. He focused his intents on his swords and crossed them, charging forwards, crossing Renxue's side. Bai swung his swords exploding the intents and destroying the swords that were chasing after Renxue. At the same time, Bai sensed Renxue doing the same.
Bai stepped back, touching Renxue's back with her back ""Truce"" Both said. Now it wasn't time to fight between them, they have better thing to do.
Both prepared for the upcoming battle. Both focused their Intents over their swords, Renxue's saber was covered by golden aura while Bai with black and white. Both stepped forward, the unleashed their might, slicing all the swords that came from their direction.
"7 o'clock!" shouted Renxue. Bai quickly reacted, twisting her left arm, his black sword clashing with a rocky one, this one had passed Renxue who instanly warned Bai from the direction of the attack.
Both of them continued slicing the swords apart, rotating in the little space, keeping their backs facing each other. It was easily seen that Bai encompassed a greater space, destroying a 50% more than Renxue. Nevertheless, she was a big help.
In a state with spirit energy blocked, Bai was unmistakable much stronger than Renxue as his skills were used as support, not affecting much at the overall style. On the other hand, Renxue's combat style relied on her powerful spirit power with the purification effect and her skills. Even though, it was clear that in this battle the one that was improving was Renxue rather than Bai, each minute her movements became swifter and stronger.
After an hour, their combination had become perfect, not letting any opening between them. The swords stopped coming. Instead, they started grouping for a final attack. All the swords melted, the liquid metal of different colors started merging, creating a huge greatsword at Renxue's side. It was 30 meters long, and 4 meters wide, occupying all the corridor.
The greatsword shot towards Renxue. Seeing that there were no more swords, Bai spun 180º, facing the greatsword at Renxue's left side. "Die!" Black aura exploded from Bai's left sword as he lifted
Renxue reacted at Bai's aura. The black aura was like an enemy for her spirit, like complete opposites. Her wings started shining as she lifted her saber, golden flames exploded from it. It wasn't her Truth, her spirit was the pinnacle of holiness, it reacted strongly against the black aura, being pushed and showed its potential, never under it. Renxue stepped over the Sword Heart Realm!
"EXCALIBUR morgan!" "PURIFICATION!" Both swung their swords. A golden and black pillar of sword qi shooting towards the greatsword. Both attacks reached the greatsword and pulverized it "BOOOOM!" A great explosion occurred, all the corridor trembled by its aftermath. The explosion wasn't due to the greatsword that was simply an accumulation of weak intents, nothing comparable with the true comprehension of a Sword Heart, it was due to the clash of both Sword Hearths.
Now that there wasn't any more sword attacking them, they quickly reacted. They turned to each other thrusting their swords at the other. Now that there were no more enemies, the actual enemy was the other!
Unfortunately for Renxue, her saber was stopped by Bai's left sword while his right one was an inch over her neck, a little movement would be enough to kill her. "Not bad, Renxue" Bai said truly amazed by Renxue's strength while suppressed.
"Rumble!" The door next to them started opening. Bai opened his eyes shocked and quickly stepped back. At the same time, a powerful light exploded from Renxue's body. Bai crossed both his swords blocking the attack, being pushed more than 10 meters before landing.
"Tsk! It could have last more." Bai lifted his head looking at Renxue whose saber was substituted by one made of golden flames and under her were 9 spirits rings, her 4th and 8th were shining.
The energy spirit suppression was lifted once the door opened and with it, Bai's advantage.
