A blade’s edge is unmatched, while a staff is but a blunt weapon. Exchanging three sword strikes for two blows from a staff, no matter from which perspective this was looked at, with the last exchange, it should be Zhuang Huan Yu who had gained the upper hand.
If Zhuang Huan Yu’s opponent was anyone else, suffering those three sword strikes, they would have sustained heavy injuries and be unable to continue battling.
Chen Chang Sheng did not collapse.
Zhuang Huan Yu wanted to pit manoeuvre against manoeuvre with him; sword against sword; True Essence against True Essence.
Chen Chang Sheng’s counter was even more severe, directly exchanging move for move; sword for sword; wound for wound.
This was the method Liang Ban Hu had used against Tang Thirty-Six, a strategy formulated by Gou Han Shi.
It had been used by Chen Chang Sheng against Zhuang Huan Yu in this critical match.
Chen Chang Sheng had always been someone that is willing to learn and was good at learning. Not to mention, for him to dare to use this method, it showed that he had an absolute confidence in his True Essence and defence, that they were, at the very least, stronger than Zhuang Huan Yu’s.
Zhuang Huan Yu didn’t collapse either, though his complexion was now extremely pallid.
Their bodies were covered in blood; separated by a distance of over 30 metres, they silently observed each other.
It was silent within the Tower of Purging Dust.
The personages by the second floor window also maintained silence.
This match naturally wasn’t much to them, but Chen Chang Sheng and Zhuang Huan Yu had displayed composure and courage that far exceeded those of their age group, this made these personages feel slightly moved; their current silence, was possibly a display of respect towards them.
Silence, also represented tension.
Which of them was the winner?
