As soon as Geochin's small tack of 'diplomacy' failed, the two armies engaged each other starting with none other than their two leaders!
The Black Heaven Jade and the Lightning Dragon clashed for the very first ti, but it was like they were destined to stand up to each other. No matter how many tis they separated, they would find themselves held up against the other in a split second.
Geochin's intense speed made it easy for him to dodge. However, he had to briefly et swords with his opponent in order to launch his attack. Unfortunately, Yeon's battle style was the exact counter to his.
Since his physical strength and Internal Energy could hardly hold up against soone an Unrestrained Martial Artist, his sword technique was a 'soft' one. He didn't rely on exerting strength towards his opponent.
Instead, Geochin would brush by his opponent's weapon, alluding him to put his weight into the strike before decisively pulling back his sword. Of course, an expert of this level would have enough skill and control over his body to avoid tumbling over, but…
A consistent battle of nerves like this was bound to end with one of the two sides showing an opening, and the Murim Lord made it so Geochin wouldn't fall into his own trap! However…
'She is troubleso.'
Aside from the emotional storm that Yeon had once sent Geochin into, she had also surprised him by perfectly countering his semi-feints. Even with the long list of Sect Masters and Family Heads that died to his sword, none of them showed that level of control!
The Sword King had tried everything, in particular, he tried keeping his strikes soft as well, he even went as far as to Geochin's sword rhythm, but all of that was to no avail.
Soft strikes could never decapitate a Transcendent like Geochin, and a battle of attrition wasn't in the Sword King's favor either. Despite his bloating Internal Energy and stamina reserves as an old Unrestrained, Geochin's consud any of his reserves considering how little he put into every strike.
In the end, the Sword King had simply lost to the superior sword master, the Sword Emperor! With him on Geochin's side, using skills and experience to triumph was nothing but drivel.
'She is handling it too well.'
On the other hand, Yeon had actually perfectly matched the tricky execution of Geochin's skill that he learned only after letting Namgung Geon abuse his body for years. It was simply inconceivable!
