To be honest, the young man was suffering a little from the leader's speed and did not want to repel the leader's attacks and tire himself out. Instead, he was thinking like ' Let's go around and make him chase until he gets tired...
However, after waving his sword a few more times, the leader stopped chasing the young man and spoke with a sarcastic smile.
"Are you going to attack or will you continue to run away like a coward? If you are only thinking about my pain by waving, believe me that I will stand here and not attack until you attack, you coward..."
…
Upon seeing the leader stop attacking and hearing his sarcastic and reprimanding words, the young man was slightly stunned while the mercenary leader's words were repeated in his head.
"A coward!! I am!! He calls me a coward."
"No..really, does he look at me as a cowardly person?? I am!!"
"In fact... Why do I run away and avoid his attacks without responding!? I leave him to get tired!! Why do I think this way?"...
...For the leader, the young man only stopped for a moment in his amazement, but for the young man, it was minutes of him talking to himself...
The young man stood up from the avoiding position he was in, then looked at the leader with calm eyes for a moment, thinking to himself...
"It's true.. for a long time I was not oppressed on the ground and I was just a bully of the weak, which made me lose my courage with time...
But is this really me!! From the beginning, I did not rise to the peak of power except because I dared to fight impulsively and did not care about death. In the end, everyone feared me and I gained the title of the strongest.. but??
Now in this new world that requires boldness, I actually fight with caution and fear of being injured??
I am the king crowned as the strongest human being on earth.. King.. I fight cowardly!!? "…
In that second that the young man stood quietly...a small flame erupted in his heart, burning intensely and spreading throughout his body...
Suddenly the young man's features turned to anger and indignation as he quickly pulled his sword from its sheath and then screamed an angry scream that no longer sounded like a human scream, but rather like the roar of a predatory beast. Then he lowered his body slightly and began saying the last sentence to himself before closing his thoughts, "To hell, with caution... I will step on everything." something ' ..
…
As for the mercenary leader, when he heard the roar of the young man in front of him, he got goosebumps all over his body...and seeing the young man rushing towards him quickly, he knew that he had awakened a sleeping monster...thinking to himself, the leader defended the first attack by the young man towards his neck.
"Fuck me and my soft mouth… fuck such a strange whim."
After one attack, a second, third, and fourth attack followed... and although the leader repelled them all, he still retreated with every attack he was exposed to...
Until he was attacked from above, he raised his sword diagonally to defend against him... and during that moment of collision, they stopped for a moment...
The leader's expression turned angry and he shouted, pushing the young man's attack with force, causing him to fall backwards.
Then he cursed blatantly
"How dare you underestimate me? I will kill you, you idiot."
Then he set out, holding his great sword forcefully, and attacked the young man, who in turn also rushed to attack...
..
Thus, a fierce fight broke out between the young man and the leader, in which they threw caution to the wind. Their swords collided, producing strong metal clashing sounds and sparks that fell on the sawdust and ignited small embers here and there.
With each collision of weapons, the base of the tree cracked slightly under their feet...
This continued for dozens of blows... and with each collision, the young man became more and more at a disadvantage in the fight...
Realizing this the young man said a few words
'Solid fists' 'Solid defence'...I say this is why the young man's fists tightened tightly on the sword, his muscles contracted and his skin hardened, making him feel a great surge of strength...
Suddenly the oppression shifted to the other side as the leader found it difficult to confront the young man's attacks despite already using all his strength...
…
Although the techniques of hardened fists and solid defense are specialized in increasing the strength of punches and body defense, the young man uses them to increase the strength of his grip on the sword and harden his body.
In the end, being a fighter at the peak of power in his world, he is well aware that the force of attacks with weapons increases the greater the strength of the fist, and the strength created by the muscles increases even more when the skin is able to withstand the pressure...
This is how the young man came up with the idea of using the two techniques in this way... or rather, his fighting instinct made him do so...
…
'Bastard..isn't he just a Qi-absorbing cultivator!! .. Damn this I hate fighting with freaks like him.
…
As a result of his exposure to oppression, the leader's face became red and the veins in his forehead exploded with anger... Suddenly the muscles in his arms and feet swelled and a powerful aura exploded from his body supporting him, causing the young man to fly backwards for dozens of meters when their swords collided together..
"You arrogant bastard… playtime is over.. I will let you taste the huge difference in power between the cultivation worlds..."
Saying that, the leader held his great sword with both hands and pointed it backwards, then began walking towards the young man...
The young man got up from the ground, and after seeing the man walking towards him, he stood up and moved quickly to him... but when a few meters remained between them, the leader muttered
"Continuous Cut" Then a dense aura erupted from his body and he then took a huge step forward…
He shouted and began to spin around himself, waving his great sword in the shape of a fan... It was only a few turns before the wind began to move with him, creating a small tornado...
…
Upon seeing the leader's large movement and feeling the dense qi aura...the young man stopped rushing, but it was only a moment before the leader's attack reached him..
Then the young man raised his sword in an attempt to repel the attack, but the shock made him retreat a few steps back...
The leader continued to rush towards the young man with such a speed that the young man was unable to escape from the field of his attack, and he had no choice but to fend it off with his sword, but once again the impact caused him to fall backwards...
Thus, the leader continued to advance using his attacking technique quickly, while the young man continued to defend with a sword and retreat step by step...
..
From the beginning of their fierce battle until now, the wooden floor was filled with cracks and the embers that they had previously caused ignited, igniting the fire around them...
Although a fire like this would not really cause the huge tree to burn, it made the headquarters illuminated and made the visual effect of the fight dazzling.
A fierce leader and a bold young man fight with their lives on the line amidst the burning flames...
