Pitter-patter!
The giant sword that was surrounded by lightning was more than three meters long. It looked like a giant sword made of lightning as it slashed towards Gray.
The air was torn apart by the slash of the sword, and the strong wind that it created was like a knife slashing through a person's body.
Gray held the giant sword that was surrounded by black mist and slashed it from left to right. Suddenly, the giant sword that was surrounded by lightning was deflected. He then changed the direction of his sword and slashed towards Otis Adrian who was behind the giant sword.
Under his attack, it was as if the air did not exist. There was no sound of wind. There was only a giant sword that was emitting an extremely dangerous aura that was rapidly approaching.
Otis Adrian's expression changed slightly. He quickly took a step back and slashed his sword downwards, blocking the giant sword that was surrounded by black mist.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Their weapons clashed one after another, and dull sounds could be heard. The sound was so dull that it was like the beating of a giant beast's heart. It was extremely oppressive.
Battles were not only about the strength of the Blood Fiends, but also about sword techniques, knife techniques, and spear techniques.
Especially when one's strength had reached the Barbarian Level, one would be able to control the power of the Blood Fiends precisely. They would be able to attach the power of the Blood Fiends to weapons such as swords, spears, and knives. Therefore, battle techniques were even more important.
After more than half a year of fighting, Gray had a deeper understanding of this point. He paid more attention to his battle techniques.
Now that he had met a young prodigy who was on par with him, he could not help but want to use his opponent as a whetstone to polish his sword techniques.
Therefore, he did not reveal his strong defense that even Desolate Blood Warriors would not be able to damage. Instead, he relied more on his battle techniques to fight with his opponent.
"So you have not reached the Desolate Level. You only have the power of a Desolate Level because of your Mana Weapon!"
After a few exchanges, Otis Adrian realized that Gray was only at the Barbarian Level. He laughed coldly and dodged to the side, avoiding Gray's front. Then, he attacked Gray from the side with his giant sword that was made of lightning.
Gray was not surprised by his opponent's actions. He did not panic.
He did not make any large movements. Instead, he turned around on the spot and used the smallest movement to get himself into a suitable position to attack.
Bang!
The giant sword made of black mist swept out and blocked the huge lightning saber.
His opponent wasn't the first person to take advantage of his relatively slow movement speed. Many enemies on the battlefield had done the same. What he did just now was a battle technique he had learned on the battlefield when facing enemies who were faster than him.
Bang, bang, bang!
From time to time, Otis Adrian would appear around Gray while Gray remained motionless. All he did was move his body and block Otis Adrian's attacks with minimal movement.
"This guy's fighting skills …"
Otis Adrian frowned when he tried to attack Gray from behind again but was blocked by Gray.
It was clear that his opponent's speed was inferior to his, but every time, his opponent was able to easily block his attacks, causing him to be unable to break through.
Facing his opponent, he felt as if he was facing a clan elder who had been a Desolate Blood warrior for many years. His opponent's strength was clearly not stronger than his, and he was even slower than him in terms of speed, but he just couldn't win.
He understood that his opponent's fighting skills were far superior to his own.
"This guy is younger than me. How can he have the fighting skills of a clan elder?"
To be able to reach the level of a Desolate Blood warrior at such a young age, his cultivation and fighting skills were definitely not weak.
It wasn't that he hadn't experienced any battles along the way, and he had often fought against clan elders. However, those battles were not as good as Gray's improvement in fighting between life and death.
There was a great fear between life and death, and this great fear could also stimulate a person's potential and allow them to grow quickly.
After more than half a year of fighting between life and death, Gray's growth was rapid. Not only had his level increased, but his fighting skills had also improved.
The reason why his fighting skills were so much better than his opponent's was that Gray had experienced too many battles of life and death. Not to mention the battlefield, Gray had also experienced many battles of life and death outside of the battlefield.
As for his opponent, as a member of a Duke's family, it was almost impossible for anyone to kill him. Naturally, it was difficult for him to encounter such battles of life and death. It was natural that his fighting skills would not improve as fast as Gray's.
This was the difference between a person who had been baptized by the battlefield and a person who had been raised in a greenhouse.
Pitter-patter!
The long river of blue lightning rumbled and surged endlessly. Lightning flashed in all directions.
As it swept across the platform, the protective array patterns on the platform lit up brightly, reinforcing the platform and preventing it from being damaged.
Below the platform, many of the younger generation of the three kingdoms looked solemn. Such a lightning was enough to defeat most of them, or even kill them on the spot.
Only a few people who had reached the level of a Desolate Blood warrior could remain calm. However, they couldn't help but pay close attention to this battle. This was a battle that they needed to pay close attention to, because both sides were at the same level as them.
The lightning swept over from the side with great momentum. Gray turned around and did not hesitate at all. He swung the huge black sword that was several meters long from top to bottom.
Puff!
The huge black sword seemed to have cut a piece of cloth, forcibly splitting the long river of thunder and lightning into two halves from the middle.
The two halves of the blue lightning passed by him from both sides and finally hit the green light that was supported by the protective array patterns behind him. The lightning exploded, causing the green light to shake violently.
The huge movement caused a gust of wind that blew Gray's black hair. His face was angular and his body was slender and strong. Standing in place, his whole body was as sharp as the huge sword in his hand. He exuded an extremely strong aura.
Swoosh!
Otis Adrian appeared beside him and slashed down with his huge sword that was surrounded by lightning. The sword aura was so strong that it seemed as if it was going to cut Ye Xiwen in half.
Gray turned around and held his sword horizontally. The huge sword blocked the huge lightning sword that was slashing towards him.
Bang!
This was a rather low sound compared to the surging thunder and lightning. Although it was low and dull, its destructive power was definitely not weak. The defensive formation patterns that lit up on the ground of the battle platform showed the power of this collision.
If a normal person was near them just now, they would have been turned into minced meat by the shockwave.
Although they did not have the same Blood Beast ability as the fanged boar, the sound wave created by the collision was not weaker than the fanged boar's.
Gray blocked the gigantic Thunder Blade with his sword. Then, he suddenly pressed down on the Thunder Blade in his hand, causing the Thunder Blade to tilt downwards slightly. Then, he swung his sword towards Otis Adrian who was behind the Thunder Blade.
Blocking the attack, pressing down to deflect the huge sword, and counterattacking. Although these three actions were executed by Gray, it was as if they were one action.
This was also a battle technique that he had honed on the battlefield. This kind of battle technique had almost become his instinct and had become part of his body's memory.
As the huge sword slashed towards him, Otis Adrian quickly dodged it. However, his arm was inevitably grazed by the sword.
Puff!
Needless to say, the huge black sword was very sharp. Although it had only grazed Otis Adrian's arm, a deep wound still appeared on it.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Blood flowed out and dripped onto the stone floor of the platform. Otis Adrian was injured once again.
If the initial injury was due to his carelessness and he did not pay enough attention to Gray, then the current injury was definitely not due to his carelessness.
Otis Adrian had a good understanding of Gray's strength. He would definitely not be careless after learning about Gray's strength. This time, he was injured by Gray's strength and battle techniques.
"Again!"
Looking at his bleeding left arm, Otis Adrian's face turned pale.
His opponent's combat power was comparable to a Desolate Blood Warrior's because of his Mana Weapon. His other attributes were only at the Barbarian level, which was far inferior to Otis Adrian's. However, Otis Adrian was suppressed and even injured.
This made Otis Adrian very angry.
Crackle!
Another lightning river swept towards Gray. Meanwhile, Otis Adrian dashed towards Gray from the other side.
The lightning river was torn apart by Gray's sword. Taking advantage of this gap, Otis Adrian closed in on Gray.
Swoosh!
Taking a step forward, Otis Adrian was already close to Gray. He slashed his sword towards Gray's throat.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
This was a strike that could be said to be at the pinnacle of his strength. He had unleashed all of his combat strength without restraint.
Bang!
Even so, it was still blocked by Gray. After slashing apart the lightning river, Gray did not stop and slashed towards Otis Adrian.
It was as if Otis Adrian's vision had reached 180 degrees. He had already noticed Otis Adrian's arrival and the slash.
Puff!
Blood splattered everywhere. Otis Adrian was injured once again.
A deep wound appeared on his abdomen. Blood seeped out and dyed his armor red.
His armor was tattered and stained with blood. He no longer had the arrogant and condescending attitude that he had in the beginning.
"Again!"
Otis Adrian shouted in anger. However, the outcome did not change.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Otis Adrian kept attacking Gray. However, Gray kept blocking his attacks. Otis Adrian was also injured.
"Again!"
Otis Adrian roared angrily again and was about to attack again. However, at this moment, a huge black sword was placed against his neck.
The sword was wrapped in black mist and was extremely sharp.
Otis Adrian twisted his neck slightly and a bloody wound appeared on his neck. Blood flowed down his neck and he did not dare to move anymore.
After several exchanges, Gray finally found an opportunity to place his sword against Otis Adrian's neck and win the battle.
This was the first time Otis Adrian defeated someone stronger than him.
The only thing Gray used that was comparable to Otis Adrian was his Desolate-level combat power. He was weaker than Otis Adrian in all other aspects.
However, Otis Adrian used the combat skills that he had honed on the battlefield to defeat Otis Adrian.
Winning this battle made Gray happier than killing a Desolate Blood warrior on the battlefield. This was because this was the most direct proof of his combat skills that he had honed on the battlefield.
