    This person was there to take his life, Yang Tian knew that much.


    “You’re Yang Tian?”


    Feng Da asked calmly, looking at him.


    Yang Tian nodded. “Are you from Shenwei Military Academy?”


    Feng Da nodded as well.


    nkkk!


    Feng Da pulled the silver-white chain off his waist; it loosened up and fell to his feet. He pulled up the chain and wrapped it around his arm a few times.


    Yang Tian also saw a sharp de that was more than a foot long dangling at the end of the chain.


    He realized that this guy had a very strange weapon!


    In normal cases, sabers, spears, and spikes were the mostmon primary weapons of the Warriors. The reason being, there were a lot more Combat Skills avable for those weapons, hence more choices of moves inbat. Rare weapons like the chain saber this middle-aged man was holding had very few Combat Skills avable.


    Those who used rare weapons... created their own Combat Skills!


    Yang Tian’s eyes shed with excitement when he thought of that!


    Feng Da noticed, not only there was no fear in Yang Tian’s eyes, the young man was filled with a burning desire to fight.


    “My name is Feng Da. ‘Feng’ as in wind, ‘Da’ as in big.”1 Feng Da introduced himself, and then said, “I’m telling you my name because I want you to know how you die.”


    As Feng Da said that, he raised his right hand, and the chain around his arm made a strange crackling noise as if it was tied really tight.


    Feng Da was about to make his move!


    Yang Tian was curious whether Feng Da had created his own Combat Skills, but it was not a good time to ask questions. He sensed that Feng Da was a man of action and few words.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, Feng Da stomped his feet on the ground and charged at Yang Tian from ten meters away. While in mid-air, his chain saber made a whooshing sound and shot right at Yang Tian.


    Yang Tian was not sure how long his chain was, so he jumped to the side.


    Thunk!


    With a strong impact, Feng Da’s chain saber was lodged into the tree behind Yang Tian.


    Seeing that Yang Tian jumped to the side, Feng Da pulled, and the chain tensed up into a straight line. Then, with a pop, the saber was pulled out from the tree. The weapon turned in the air like an aggressive snake, and flew to the side, taking a stab at Yang Tian’s back.


    All of that-Feng Da’s attack and Yang Tian’s dodging-happened in the blink of an eye!


    Hearing the wind behind his back, Yang Tian was startled and immediately lied t on his chest.


    Feng Da seemed to know how Yang Tian was going to dodge his attack. As his body was still mid-air, he jerked his arm and the saber paused halfway. With a thud, it went into the ground right next to Yang Tian, almost prating his neck.


    Terrified, Yang Tian twisted his waist and rolled to the side and hid behind a big tree.


    Just as he moved away, the de that hadpletely been lodged in the ground suddenly emerged from where Yang Tian was. If he reacted any slower, the saber would have gone through his body.


    It was Yang Tian’s very first time facing such strange attacks. The enemy’s chain saber was livelier than a live snake-It was as if it had eyes.


    Right at that instance, Feng Danded on the ground.


    Whoosh!


    Looking at Yang Tian who was hiding behind the tree, Feng Da jerked his arm and the chain straightenedpletely as it shot right at the tree. His face expressionless.


    Yang Tian did not hesitate. With the Tang dao held tightly in his hand, he moved swiftly, went around the tree, and dashed straight at Feng Da just as the chain saber went through the tree trunk.


    All Combat Skill had its weak point. Through Yang Tian’s judgment, Feng Da’s chain saber was a weapon for distant attacks and was probably not very useful for close-quarterbat.


    Soon enough, Yang Tian knew he was wrong!


    As Yang Tian was charging at him, Feng Da remained expressionless, and his eyes did not show any shock. His calmness was terrifying.


    Crack!


    As Yang Tian was still dashing at him, Feng Da pulled the chain, and it once again broke out of the tree trunk and flew backward. It made a turn in the air and shot toward Yang Tian’s back.


    Yang Tian swung his saber at the chain that was tensed straight.


    As the Tang dao touched the chain, the chain turned soft like a cotton thread with a dull p-Yang Tian thought he could break the chain with his weapon.


    As disappointing as it was, it did pause Feng Da’s attack. The saber on the end of the chain suddenly lost its support and fell. Its de stabbed into the ground.


    Right then, Yang Tian had already reached Feng Da and swung his saber at him. Calmly, Feng Da took two steps back and dodged the fierce attack. At the same time, he took the opportunity to jerk the chain.


    Yang Tian was shocked because he could feel the ground under his feet trembling, so he jumped into the air.


    Almost right at the same time, the sharp de broke out of the ground and flew toward Yang Tian who was in mid-air.


    ng!


    Yang Tian saw the sharp de flying at him from below and swung his saber. It collided with it and the sharp de flew sideways.


    Yang Tian took the chance to twist his waist and flipped in the air. As soon as hended on the ground, he jumped to the side again.


    “Lightning Sword!”


    Yang Tian knew that to face an enemy as skillful as this, he would have to use the power from the Dragon Pearl to turn his defensive position into an offensive one. With a shout, the saber turned into threads of light. Zigzagging his body, he charged toward Feng Da.


    Feng Da’s face turned grim when he realized Yang Tian’s speed became faster and he could not see his saber’s trajectory. It suddenly urred to him that Yang Tian did not unleash his full strength before that, and seemed to be testing him by constantly dodging his attacks.


    Feng Da jerked his wrist and drew his chain saber back. Once again, he wrapped the chain around his arm.


    ng!


    ...


    Facing the saber that Yang Tian swung at him, Feng Da jerked the chain and the sharp saber came right in the way. The two weapons shed with each other and let out a loud metallic noise.


    Shing!


    What Feng Da did not expect was, the momentum of Yang Tian’s saber did not decrease one bit even after his weapon got knocked away, and was aiming right at his chest. Shocked, he took a step backward. The tip of the saber cut across his leather armor, leaving a long mark on it.


    After the strike, Yang Tian’s saber turned and it went from chopping to slicing sideways. Feng Da twisted his waist, and his body started spinning with it as well as the chain saber. The saber on the end of the chain shot at Yang Tian’s chest at lightning speed during the spin.


    Yang Tian did not expect Feng Da to have a move like that. He leaned backward and the sharp tip of the de flew right above his nose. In that instance, Feng Da drew back his chain, and the sharp saber took a turn suddenly and changed its direction, aiming diagonally at Yang Tian’s neck.


    After activating the Dragon Pearl’s energy, Yang Tian’s speed had gone up a few notches. In a very short time, he tilted his head, raised his hand, and grabbed the portion of the chain before the sharp saber.


    At that moment, Feng Da pulled the chain. Yang Tian felt a huge energy came through the chain that wanted to jerk his hand off. However, he gripped tight and did not let go.


    Failing at making Yang Tian give up the grip, Feng Da pulled the chain again. Yang Tian took the chance and swung his saber, using the momentum of the chain to charge at Feng Da.


    Feng Da frowned, it was the first time that he was in such a sticky situation while fighting a Warrior who was at a lower ss. He realized that Yang Tian was a lot stronger than he expected. The biggest weak point of the type of chain saber he was using was when it was gripped tight by an enemy who had strength simr to his.


    Facing the attack from Yang Tian, he let go of the chain saber and drew a short saber from his waist belt and swung them at Yang Tian.


    ng ng ng ng!


    ...


    The noise of weapons shing kept ringing.


    The short saber that Feng Da was using was also made of YT alloy, and its quality was simr to Yang Tian’s Tang dao. When the two weapons shed, sparks flew. The two were simr in speed and strength, so they moved swiftly and their silhouettes entangled with each other.


    Yang Tian expected Feng Da’s short saber skills were as superior as his chain saber skills. He was not the least bit at a disadvantage even though Yang Tian’s Tang dao was longer.


    Yang Tian, however, had an advantage, and that was the energy provided by the Dragon Pearl. It supported him continuously, while a Warrior like Feng Da used Hidden Strength.


    The problem with Hidden Strength was that it could not be sustained for a long time. It needed a tiny pause every once in a while.
