As the battle progressed, Chu Yang's understanding deepened.
He realized that his gentle water sword intent was indeed extraordinary! As the sword momentum unfolded, its power gradually increased, especially in combat, where his opponent's energy transformed from clumsy to effortless.
Initially, he had used this gentle water sword intent out of concern that the Nine Calamity Sword Technique might be recognized, even though he was confident he wouldn't be injured.
At first, he struggled, but as the sword momentum expanded, Chu Yang's movements became increasingly graceful.
Especially when the first wave of gentle sword energy, moving with a curve, surged forth like an undercurrent in deep water, Chu Yang suddenly felt enlightened.
This sword intent was comprehended in water.
Surrounded by flowing water, it was just like being encircled by enemies!
In such situations, relying on brute force to break out or to win was simply impossible. The only option was to use the power of the water flow to guide one's own strength.
By letting the opponent's attacking energy flow along with the direction of his sword intent, he naturally avoided harm.
Chu Yang meticulously wielded his long sword, moving like a floating weed amidst the encirclement of four opponents. He drifted through the turmoil, rising and falling on the crest of the waves. Regardless of how fierce the storm was, this floating weed remained completely unharmed.
His movements were light, the sword momentum slow and gentle, but every strike formed an intricate and tender force, subtly redirecting the energy of his opponents' attacks away.
At the beginning of the fight, there were frequent clashes of weapons, with ringing sounds echoing.
However, as the battle intensified, the sounds of clashing weapons gradually diminished, eventually disappearing entirely.
By the end, a strange phenomenon appeared in the fight.
Chu Yang lightly pointed his sword to the left, and even though six shiny weapons were about to stab him, inexplicably, as he pointed, those six weapons changed direction and pointed left as well.
Chu Yang then pointed to the right; consequently, the four opponents, their faces flushed, desperately tried to control their weapons, yet they couldn't help but point to the right again...
Their movements were in perfect unison.
The five of them seemed to be performing a collective dance, with Chu Yang at the center as the lead.
He waved his long sword, and the four followed suit, mimicking his every move...
This scene was incredibly comical.
Chu Le'er even watched as if it were a performance, laughing uncontrollably: "This is so fun! What's going on? Why are they all following my brother? They're supposed to be fighting... how can they fight like this?"
Wei Wuyan looked stunned, his eyes wide with shock!
He completely ignored Chu Le'er's words.
Only the innocent and naive little girl, who had no understanding of martial arts, found it amusing. But Wei Wuyan, observing closely, felt a chill run down his spine.
From the very beginning, he had been watching this battle clearly.
As soon as the opponent attacked, Wei Wuyan recognized that these were four sword emperors, each with their unique skills. Two were sixth rank and two were fourth rank.
Logically speaking, with such strength and cooperation, Chu Yang, being merely a fifth-rank sword emperor, should have been able to escape easily. But to win or kill them would surely require a price.
At the battle's onset, it was indeed like that.
Under their encirclement, Chu Yang was somewhat overwhelmed; his sword technique did not seem adequate to handle such a siege. Just when Wei Wuyan was getting anxious, he noticed Chu Yang’s situation changed after a single sword strike.
That strike, which others might have thought was unremarkable, was seen by Wei Wuyan with sharp eyes. He clearly saw that the power of that strike managed to deflect the weapon that was farthest from Chu Yang.
From that moment on, Chu Yang's situation began to improve step by step.
It was evident that when Chu Yang employed this sword technique, he was still quite inexperienced and unfamiliar.
