Sensing something was amiss, Wu Jianqiu dared not delay for a moment. He too took a step forward, the longsword above his head moving forward with him.
With that one step, the sword's radiance in the sky directly increased by ten percent, and the speed of the falling swords increased by the same margin.
Facing such a sudden escalation in the offensive, Su Yang showed not the slightest hint of panic. On the contrary, a shade of joy appeared on his face.
Wu Jianqiu's action had proven Su Yang's guess correct. The essence of The Art of Thousand Swords rested upon Wu Jianqiu himself; all its power did not come from thin air but was entirely drawn from Wu Jianqiu.
Moreover, there was one crucial aspect to The Art of Thousand Swords: the aura must align with the sword aura. The stronger the aura, the stronger the sword aura.
