Fran stopped dodging and swung his right hand, unleashing a massive sword aura that slashed towards Hera.

Faced with the oncoming sword energy, Hera used her bone whip to lift herself up.

Click!

The bone whip was severed by the sword energy, while Hera flew over it unharmed.

Hera landed on the ground, quickly pushed off with her legs, and rushed towards Fran at an extremely fast speed.

The blade, dripping with flesh and blood, aimed straight for Fran's head.

Fran pushed off with both legs and retreated rapidly, stepping on the sword energy.

Judging from Hera's skill and speed just now, he understood that if he were to fight Hera in close combat, he would be defeated in less than two rounds.

With a thought, countless sword energies swept towards Hera like a hurricane.

Countless hard bone whips burst forth from her back, enveloping Hera like a silkworm cocoon.

The sword energy clashed with the bone whip.

Fragments of the bone whip flew everywhere, scattering across the entire platform, while Hera herself remained completely unharmed.

Hera's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Fran was moving too fast; I couldn't keep up at all.

Although his injuries weren't fatal, continuing to wear himself down like this wasn't a sustainable solution.

Looking at the knife she held in her hand, Hera thought of Ye Yiqing's swordsmanship.

Several sword energies slashed towards her, but Hera nimbly dodged them while simultaneously extending her bone whip to strike her opponent.

Rank nimbly dodged and unleashed several more sword strikes, but Hera also dodged; even if she was hit, her wounds would heal rapidly.

The two remained locked in a stalemate.

While dodging Fran's attacks, Hera kept recalling every detail of Ye Yiqing's swordsmanship in her mind.

Breathing rhythm, muscle movements, and points of exertion—these were all flashing through Hera's mind.

Finally, after Hera dodged several sword strikes, she suddenly exerted force with her legs and struck Fran like a bolt of lightning.

The sudden acceleration caught Fran off guard, and a large gash was slashed into his left shoulder.

Blood splattered, and before she could even cover her wound, Hera turned around and swung her sword again.

A blade of light, sharp as a tooth, slashed towards him, but Fran quickly unleashed several sword energies to deflect it.

The sword energy was shattered, and Hera kicked the opponent in the stomach with a backhand, sending him flying.

At the same time, he swung his knife at him from the spot.

...no sword energy was unleashed.

Hera tilted her head, looked at the knife in her hand, and scratched her head.

That shouldn't be the case. Ye Yiqing could unleash sword energy when he was at the 'advanced' level, so why can't I wield a sword like him when I'm trying to imitate him?

After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that Ye Yiqing seemed to have said something to him before.

'Sword energy has little to do with one's cultivation level or power; its generation mainly depends on your own sword intent.'

Sword intent? How do you get that?

Hera was completely baffled.

Fran knelt a few meters in front of Hera, clutching his abdomen, looking extremely pained.

Hera didn't seem to use much force in her kick, but she still managed to break one of Fran's ribs.

His internal organs were also damaged.

Putting aside the extent of the damage, Fran felt like he was going to die from the pain alone.

"Waaaaah~!"

Seeing Fran sweating profusely from the pain, Eileen, who was entangled, struggled desperately.

Fran struggled to his feet, gave Eileen a reassuring look, then looked at Hera, a sword aura forming in his hand.

Hera shook her head, deciding to drop the idea of ​​sword energy; she wasn't good at it anyway.

However, you should definitely develop what you're good at.

Crimson blood covered the bone knife in her hand, and she slashed at Fran again, unleashing a blood-red sword aura.

Fran also unleashed several sword strikes.

The crimson sword energy, like a shark fin, slid along the ground and collided with several other sword energies.

The two immense forces collided instantly.

The sword energy exploded at the same time, and the sword energy composed of blood also splashed out and splattered on the floor.

It works!

When blood is used as sword energy to slash out, it is indeed no different from real sword energy.

Hera charged toward Fran at full speed, while Fran retreated and attacked simultaneously, his feet treading on sword energy.

Hera activated the cloak around her waist to take flight and fight Fran in the air.

The giant eye in the sky, like God, calmly watched the two of them.

During the battle, Hera didn't know why, but her opponent was able to dodge almost every single one of her attacks.

The opponent's sword energy left marks on his body with almost every strike.

Against an opponent of Fran's strength, Hera would have killed him several times over under normal circumstances.

Hera looked at Eileen on the ground and should understand why.

Hera suddenly abandoned dodging and defense, and charged towards her opponent recklessly.

Although Fran sensed something was off, he immediately attacked.

Countless sword energies intertwined like spider silk in front of Fran, quickly forming a net.

With a push of his right hand, the net of sword energy crashed towards Hera.

Hera did not dodge, but increased her speed to meet the net head-on.

Pfft...!

A dense shredding sound rang out as Hera's body was easily cut into countless pieces by the net.

The cloak was also chopped up and fell onto the platform along with Hera's pieces of flesh.

"Huh?" Fran was taken aback. It was solved so easily?

He could hardly believe it as he slowly descended onto the platform, stepping on the sword energy.

Seeing that Hera had indeed been cut into pieces and was motionless, Fran breathed a sigh of relief.

He hurried over to Eileen.

"Don't worry, I'll save you right away!"

He took two steps and stepped on the bone whip fragments that had fallen to the ground earlier.
