Liu Ruoxue quickly regained her composure after experiencing the aftermath of the earlier bout.
She gazed at Xu Yuan, her voice returning to its usual undisturbed calm.
She didn't find anything inappropriate about the tactic Xu Yuan employed, had she been in his place, she too would have used every available means to secure victory.
Having seen through his intentions, Liu Ruoxue had planned to win with her flying sword, but to her surprise, as soon as she showed a tendency to move backward, Xu Yuan seemed to have foreseen everything and was prepared to close in with his sword once again.
Aside from close-quarters combat, the Great Sword Sect Competition also tested the art of flying swords, but to maximize the visibility of a person's combat abilities, or perhaps with the intent of having them confront their weaknesses head-on.
