Even after a fierce battle that left the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting's essence, qi, and spirit somewhat wilted, he showed no sign of retreat. His unshakeable belief fortified his will, rendering it indestructible.
He was like a lone wolf; though solitary in figure, he kept a firm gaze on the Da Xue Country Lord, seeking for any trace of weakness.
Should the Da Xue Country Lord reveal the slightest flaw, he would launch his most ferocious attack, showing no mercy.
As a swordsman who had risen through slaughter as an Independent Practitioner, the resilience and decisiveness of the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting were extraordinary. Perhaps fighters like him possessed an even stronger will than those born of powerful sects, precisely because they had no path of retreat.
Time trickled away, and impatience became increasingly evident on the face of the Da Xue Country Lord. Yet, he still did not take immediate action.
