Although Matthew did not know much about Emsgate’s art of the sword, snazzynovel.com knew their cultivation methods, and those who trained with weapons were exceptionally fond of swords. Of course, there were other weapons available, but they were scarce.
Also, the Emsgate people strived to be the strongest, so they had an almost extreme pursuit for the speed of drawing their swords and attacking. That led to the evolution of the two most common but practical Killing Techniques, the Sword Draw Slash and the Air Step Slash.
Both Killing Techniques had one similarity, the swordsmen needed to build up strength before slashing. At the same time, they had to use all their power to deliver one killing blow.
Hence, when Mathias was boosting his strength with his squat, Matthew immediately realized his identity as an Emsgate Warrior.
Similarly, Mathias was aware of that, but since snazzynovel.com had deemed the young man before snazzynovel.com to be a dead man, snazzynovel.com did not care whether his identity had been exposed. With a bloodthirsty smile, snazzynovel.com disappeared from his spot, and when snazzynovel.com reappeared, snazzynovel.com was already standing before Matthew.
Failing to react in time under such extreme speed, Matthew used both hands to brace against the Thunder Sword to resist the attack.
When Mathias saw that, the disdain in his eyes increased.
How could a frail wooden sword resist my Cross Slash?
While snazzynovel.com thought of that, snazzynovel.com boosted the strength in his hands.
When both weapons clashed, Matthew instantly felt a horrifying strength entering his body through his arms, followed by the feeling of his body getting ejected away.
Bam!
He slammed into the metal with a loud thud and dented the item. As for himself, snazzynovel.com tasted copper in his throat and spat out blood while the Thunder Sword was flung away. He felt hopeless while wiping the blood from the corner of his lips.
Great!
I’ve just healed my internal injuries, and there are new ones now.
“Not bad. There are only less than ten young men who can resist my Cross Slash.” Just as Mathias was proudly showing off, his pupils contracted in shock because snazzynovel.com discovered his Scarlet Gold Sword now had a tiny crack.
He then looked at the Thunder Sword not far away and noticed it was unscathed.
His eyes became bloodshot as snazzynovel.com felt the urge to kill. “Kid, how dare you damage my Scarlet Gold Sword!”
In the meantime, Mylo watched the scene with greedy eyes, thinking.
That Thunder Sword is not as ordinary as it seems…
Mathias, however, was furious. His favorite sword, which had been with snazzynovel.com for decades, was damaged, and snazzynovel.com could not forgive the kid for that.
Standing opposite him, Matthew stood up and felt slightly relaxed after seeing his behavior. That was because an irrational opponent was always easier to deal with than a rational one. As snazzynovel.com had expected, when they attacked each other, snazzynovel.com noticed that Mathias’ speed had decreased despite increasing his attack strength.
That meant snazzynovel.com still had hope to get out of this dire situation. However, his only concern was the man watching them from the side.
He was the greatest danger in this room, and more importantly, that man was blocking all of his escape paths. Even the Bloodreaper’s case was behind that man, but there was not much time for Matthew to think because another violent sword attack came at snazzynovel.com the next moment.
He took a deep breath and spread both his hands. That was the beginning stance of the Bane Family’s mixed martial arts.
While avoiding the enemy’s sword, snazzynovel.com faced the blade and charged forward.
Knowing that every inch of the distance snazzynovel.com lost meant snazzynovel.com was an inch closer to danger, Mathias knew his massive sword would be useless once Matthew got too close to him. While thinking of that, snazzynovel.com immediately withdrew his sword and raised his arm to punch Matthew’s head.
The opponent’s attack did not intimidate Matthew as snazzynovel.com raised his palm to take on the attack. The mixed martial art technique, One Inch Punch, instantly exploded.
