Durandar had no choice but to admit that she had underestimated this Sword Wielder. He was actually able to fight her to a standstill with just pure swordsmanship.
Durandar had been fighting non-stop for a full thousand years. Even if her own talent in swordsmanship was not high, but under the tempering of these thousand years, her swordsmanship had reached a very terrifying level. Each of her swordsmanship seemed to have been forged through thousands of tempering.
This kind of swordsmanship that had been honed over a long period of time was much more terrifying than those swordsmanship that were learned through innate talent.
Therefore, Durandar had 100% confidence in her victory, because she felt that with just her swordsmanship alone, she would be able to teach this kid a good lesson on what true swordsmanship was ….. But Durandar had miscalculated. She found that the one who would really be taught a lesson was herself, even if her swordsmanship was actually much higher than Guhan's.
Yes, no matter how heaven defying Guhan's talent was, he had only practiced swordsmanship for less than ten years. Compared to Durandar who had honed her swordsmanship for thousands of years, they were simply not on the same level.
Even Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy, had superb talent!
But in the first few years of learning to write, his father still commented that his handwriting was not as good as that of his family's accountant, because that accountant had been keeping account books for more than forty years. His handwriting had already integrated into his skin and flesh. How could Wang Xizhi's short few years of practice compare to it?
In fact, this was also the reason why there were not many Sword Masters in the world.
Even if it was the first time a Sword Maiden had awakened, their swordsmanship was honed in their previous life.
This was especially so after they had experienced hundreds or even thousands of years of battles after the Great Calamity. Due to the accumulation of generations, their swordsmanship had reached an extremely high level. This level was not something that ordinary sword-bearers with average talent in swordsmanship could achieve in just a few decades of life. Rather than having them fight Yuan Yan with their swords, they might as well let the Sword Ladies fight on their own.
Only those with extraordinary talent in swordsmanship could possibly surpass their own Sword Maiden's swordsmanship through just a few years or even a dozen years of training. This was the reason why the profession of Sword Master was born.
Let's cut to the chase and return to the main topic.
The reason why Durand was at a disadvantage against Guhan was because Durand was not used to her current body … Durand had always fought with the physique of an Immortal Sword Maiden. Now that she was suddenly compressed to the level of a treasured sword, her swordsmanship became uncoordinated and full of loopholes.
It was easy to understand. If you asked a racer who drove an F1 car every day to suddenly drive a tractor, he might just drive the tractor straight into the field because he was not used to the speed.
At the same time, Durandar was also not used to her current speed. Originally, according to her instincts, she felt that she would be able to hit Guhan in 0.01 seconds, but because her strength was suppressed to Artifact Sword Grade, the time was extended to 0.1 seconds … This time, she was in big trouble. Before Durandar could even complete her attack, she instinctively wanted to change her attack. As a result, Guhan naturally took advantage of this flaw and directly broke through her defense to attack her.
On one hand, Durandar was not used to her current body, but with the passage of time, she would definitely adapt to her current body very quickly.
What really made Durandar feel sullen was that although she had been suppressed from Immortal Sword Grade to Artifact Sword Grade, the opponent's physique was still at the level of a Famed Sword Grade.
Inexplicably, in terms of raw strength, Durandar, who was an Immortal Sword Grade, was suppressed by Guhan. Her full attack speed could not keep up with Guhan's attack speed at all.
There was no martial art in the world that could not be broken, only speed could not be broken.
If this went on, no matter how high Durandar's swordsmanship was, she would still be defeated by Guhan.
Only Durandar and Guhan, the two people involved in the fight, knew what was going on. As for the spectators, they did not know what was going on. They only had one thought: This Guhan's swordsmanship was very strong!
Very scary!
He was not human at all. It was like Alexander Landing to be in the same generation as him.
It must be known that the number one swordsman in the world, Sword Spirit Confusion, had once engaged in a pure swordsmanship battle with Durandar.
That was when Sword Spirit Confusion was at its peak. At that time, Sword Spirit Confusion had just defeated the Yue Maiden Sword, who was known as the number one swordswoman in swordsmanship, and the head of the Liu Nian Family … These two people who stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship and swordswoman's swordsmanship officially took the title of number one swordsman in the world.
Then, he went to challenge Durandar … He fought with Durandar for a whole 12 hours, and only narrowly defeated Durandar by a single move.
At that time, Sword Spirit Confusion said a very famous sentence to the media who interviewed him.
"Lady Durandar may not be the best swordswoman in swordsmanship, but she is definitely the most difficult to deal with.
She can use her 1000 years of fighting experience to wear down her opponent. "
From this, it could be seen how powerful Durandar was in the eyes of the swordswomen in London, and how terrifying her swordsmanship was.
That was a swordsmanship that even Sword Spirit Confusion almost defeated.
But now, their hero and idol had fallen into a complete disadvantage, actually being suppressed by a swordswoman who had just turned 18 years old a few days ago. This was something they could not imagine … In the eyes of these ignorant swordsman, Sword Spirit Confusion was slightly stronger than Durandar, and Guhan was stronger than Durandar, but Sword Spirit Confusion was the number one swordsman in the world … Didn't this mean that Guhan's swordsmanship was already above Sword Spirit Confusion, and Guhan was the real number one swordsman in the world?
Please forgive the small hearts of these inexperienced youngsters, they simply could not admit this fact, but in their hearts, they had faintly accepted this fact.
The direct result of this was that when these swordsmen returned to their cities, an urban legend about a swordsman named Guhan began to spread among various cities.
It was said that this person named Guhan was the real number one swordsman in swordsmanship. Of course, people who heard this urban legend would disdainfully laugh it off, treating it as a joke. It wasn't until this person named Guhan truly appeared in the eyes of humans that they understood that sometimes urban legends were not just legends.
Unlike those ordinary swordsmen who had no swordsmanship to speak of, Liunian Ling understood that she had already discovered the reason why Durandar was at a disadvantage.
She was very puzzled, when did Guhan become comparable to a famous swordsman … Of course, this was not important, what was important was that Liunian Ling had a vague feeling that she might not be Guhan's opponent without using the Billion Swords Art. This was something that Liunian Ling could not accept.
"Why?
Why is your strength so abnormal! "
After clashing with Guhan again, Durandar asked while gasping for breath. Ever since the Beumi Sword Spirit, she did not know how long it had been since she had felt this kind of pressure.
"This junior obtained some benefits from Zhe Tian Jiandi …" Facing Durandar's question, Guhan could actually ignore it.
But if he did so, his good impression of Durandar would inevitably be greatly reduced.
What's more, Durandar's true spirit of chivalry made Guhan feel admiration. He did not want Durandar to fight him with doubts, but it was impossible for Guhan to tell the truth, so he could only push the blame onto Zhe Tian Jiandi. If Durandar had the ability, then go ask Zhe Tian Jiandi.
"Could it be that Yi Qing is really …" Durandar suddenly thought of something, and her whole person suddenly fell into contemplation. She actually put down the sword in her hand, no longer blocking or attacking.
This was a huge opportunity, as long as Guhan seized this opportunity to attack Durandar, Durandar would definitely fall to the ground and eat a dog eating mud.
However, Guhan did not make a move. Just like Durandar, he put down the Heavenly Sword in his hand and quietly waited for Durandar to wake up from her contemplation.
"Hey, why didn't you make a move just now …" Durandar woke up from her contemplation and saw Guhan standing in front of her with a sword in his hand, unexpectedly not taking advantage of this opportunity to attack her.
If he had made a move just now, although she would not have lost, she would definitely have suffered a huge loss.
"We have a saying in the east, a gentleman does not take advantage of others when they are in a precarious situation.
Sir, you have fallen into contemplation because of my words, so how could I make a move at this time! "Guhan spoke with confidence, causing Durandar to look at him with more and more satisfaction.
"You are good!
You are really good! "
Durandar actually directly put away her sword and patted Guhan's shoulder as she asked with a smile, "Boy, do you think that you have already won just now?"
"No, this junior's swordsmanship is not as good as Sir's.
It is only because Sir is limited by this trial array that this junior was able to suppress you. Outside of this trial array, even ten juniors together would not be a match for Sir. "Guhan's words carried a hint of flattery.
If it was just a simple contest of swordsmanship, as long as two Guhan attacked Durandar at the same time, Durandar would definitely be defeated. As for ten or so, that was purely flattery.
However, Guhan's words clearly made Durandar very happy. She waved her hand and said, "What do you mean by outside of the trial array, inside of the trial array?
This is a fair duel, and in terms of swordsmanship, this junior has indeed lost to you.
However, this is just swordsmanship. Let me ask you, can you block my 'Angel's Eternal'? "
"Angel's Eternal." This was Durandar's basic skill, and the specific effect of the skill was a mystery.
However, the skills of the Sword Lady at the Immortal Sword Tier, even if they were basic skills, were extremely terrifying skills. If one only relied on the power of Gu Han, let alone taking a hit, even the slightest contact would cause Gu Han to immediately be sent to a medical pod.
However, Guhan was not afraid of these skills. This was the trial array, Guhan's territory. As long as Guhan was willing, the power of the entire trial array could be used by Guhan at will. Using the trial array's power to offset Durandar's skill was a simple matter.
However, Guhan naturally could not say this. He just shook his head sadly, "How could this junior be able to block Sir's Angel's Eternal? In fact, the moment Sir appeared, I knew that I had already lost. The battle just now was just to make my defeat more dignified."
"Good, good, dignified!"
Durandar had thoroughly fallen in love with Guhan, this dignified child. She closed her eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. After a short while, she suddenly opened her mouth, "Your Majesty Dragon Shi, this subject has done her best, this subject has lost."
She was just talking to her Sword Maiden, Dragon Shi Jiandi. As a Sword Maiden's clone, she could still get in touch with Dragon Shi Jiandi through the sword mark, even if she was trapped in the trial array at this time.
After saying these short words, Durandar directly closed the communication with Dragon Shi Jiandi, and then looked at Guhan and finally said.
"Good boy, I'm leaving.
This time, you owe me a favour. Remember, when you become a Famous Sword Maiden, you must come to London to find me. I have a good friend who is waiting for someone to save her! "
"I think you are that person."
