As the patriarch of the Wang Clan prepared himself for a fight to the death, Duncan too was priming himself for a good fight.

Before he even awakened his bloodline, he was able to kill that cultivator Nine Yin Sect in that strange state. At that time, the other party's cultivation was clearly above the Spirit Sea realm.

And it wasn't the first time he killed someone who was unbeatable before after falling into that strange state. That demonic beast in the grasslands was killed by him before even he started cultivation. That youth in the cannibal cave was killed after entering the strange state.

Duncan knew he was capable of killing opponents far stronger than him once he entered the strange state. But, that wasn't feasible to him. If he failed to enter the strange state at some point, then he could only die. He still hasn't figured out the requirements to enter that strange state.

All he knew was that the strange state had something to do with his bloodline.

Since it was related to his bloodline, Duncan wanted to see if he would be able to stimulate himself and enter that state voluntarily. The only thing he knew for sure was that he always entered that state when his opponent was unbeatable but he was unwilling to give up.

Currently, with the help of the formation, the power of the Wang Clan Patriarch was equal to that of the early-stage Violet Palace realm cultivator. Duncan wanted to see if the Wang Clan Patriarch could help him enter that state.

With a determined gaze filled with fighting intent, Duncan mobilized his qi and swung his sword toward the patriarch with full strength. The blow he delivered was still the same <Absolute Cut Sword Arts>, but now he was mobilizing his entire power.

"Break!"

Duncan shouted loudly as he sent the sword light that was generated from his attack toward the patriarch. As early as when he exited the Initial Enlightenment in the cave in the Grotto Heaven, Duncan had been enlightened with the usage of his sword and how to create sword light.

Until now, he had never had the opportunity to test out its power. For a sword to emit sword light, the connection between the person and the sword must be profound enough. If a person couldn't unify his consciousness with the sword and treat it as a part of his body, then it would be impossible to generate sword light no matter how high their cultivation was.

Like concepts, this was unique to martial cultivation. This had nothing to do with cultivation levels. Granted, those with high cultivation realms will be able to mobilize their powerful consciousness and enter this state easily, Foundational Cultivators are usually unable to enter this state without talent.

After Duncan had undergone the Initial Enlightenment, he understood that he had some talent for swordsmanship. So, he hadn't slacked off his training in this regard after exiting the Grotto Heaven. With a month of diligent practice, Duncan was now able to emit sword light at will.

When it comes to swordsmanship, the martial cultivation related to sword dao was divided into several stages. First was the unity of man and sword. And sword light is the sign of achieving this stage. Further above, there is the unity of sword and heaven, the unity of sword and soul, and so on.

When the patriarch of the Wang Clan saw the sword light that emerged from Duncan's sword, his expression became dignified. He knew immediately the person who was attacking the Wang Clan was not some ordinary cultivator.

Feeling the sword light approaching himself, the patriarch didn't delay any longer. He mobilized the power of the defensive formation to augment his strength and punched towards the sword light with a fierce shout.

The Wang Clan were known for their fist techniques. The highest martial arts the Wang Clan possessed was called <Breaking Earth Fist>. The fist technique was domineering and very aggressive in nature.

Now, the Wang Clan Patriarch mobilized the power of the defensive formation and circulated his own power, and performed the attack he was most proficient in the fist technique. Naturally, the effect was astonishing.

<Breaking Earth Fist: Breaking Moutain Fist>

Boom!

A loud sound emerged from the direction of the patriarch. Followed by that, a fist shadow emerged from the place he was standing. The fist shadow looked firm and brought a lot of momentum with it.

A suppression formed from the momentum emerged outwards and the air in front of the fist oscillated. The pressure formed from the fist shot out and attacked the approaching sword light, causing it to stagger a bit.

Immediately following that the fist arrived and fell on the sword light.

Chi!

The sound of collision echoed in the surroundings. The next moment the sword light and the fist shadow collapsed together after consuming the power present in each other.

Duncan's eyes narrowed as he saw this phenomenon. It was as he expected. Without integrating any concepts, he wouldn't be able to do anything just by relying on the sword light alone. At most, he would be able to fight even with the Wang Clan Patriarch. But, that's all.

Moreover, this was just the beginning. Duncan didn't think that the Wang Clan Patriarch would not have any trump cards of his own. How can a clan that has been operating for centuries in the Starmist City not have any other trump cards apart from a defensive formation?

On the other side, the Wang Clan Patriarch frowned seeing the situation. He could clearly feel that the attack that was executed by the opponent was just a probing attack. But, even that was enough to fight a standstill with his Breaking Mountain Fist.

With a dignified expression on his face, the Wang Clan Patriarch decided to go all out and end this battle immediately. The situation of the Wang Clan in the city was not very optimistic. The City Lord's office and the Ling Clan were eyeing them from the shadows.

Even if he earned a hard-fought victory, the City Lord's office might take this opportunity to exterminate the Wang Clan and consolidate more power. So, the longer this fight dragged on the more dangerous it was for him as well.

He didn't know what the stance of the City Lord was regarding this battle. The commotion that was caused would surely alert the people in the City Lord's faction. Will he uphold the law and interfere with the fight or will he relax a little and watch from the sidelines was yet to be determined. Until then, it was better to be prudent.

With a fierce glint in his eyes, the Wang Clan Patriarch decisively took the initiative to attack this time. Duncan was slightly surprised by the proactive approach of the Wang Clan Patriarch. He thought that the opponent would drag time and be defensive. So, he was a little taken aback by this aggressive demeanor.

But, Duncan didn't mind it much. He welcomed it and retaliated with another sword light. This time, the fist of the patriarch had a slight edge in the clash and it had a tendency to break through Duncan's attack. Duncan immediately realized that the patriarch was not just taking initiative, he also wanted to end this fight quickly.

If that was the case, then it was fine with him as well. Duncan immediately mobilized his qi and attacked the patriarch with a different attack this time. The attack he just now used was a new move he had created by himself after his trip to the Grotto Heaven.

<Swordcut: Absolute Severance>

This attack integrated the concept of Swordcut he had realized from the <Absolute Cut Sword Arts> and combined it with the sword light he had been enlightened with. The attack power of this move was several times higher than Duncan's ordinary attacks. The only drawback it had was the high consumption of qi in his spirit sea.

Seeing Duncan's attack, the patriarch's eyes shrank in fear. He could vaguely sense that the attack that came towards him now was more dangerous than the other attacks so far.

Gritting his teeth, the Wang Clan Patriarch mobilized everything he had with the intention of resisting the attack at all costs. He knew that if this attack landed, he would not only be injured but the formation might also be damaged.

<Breaking Earth Fist: Ten Fists of Breaking Earth>

This was the ultimate move in the Breaking Earth Fist technique. The Ten Fists of Breaking Earth was incredibly hard to execute. This move required the cultivator to throw ten consecutive fists in a short time.

The power of each fist would be higher than the previous one. And all these fists would be combined and have a cumulative effect on the moment of collision. In order to perform this technique, one must have enough qi and also have higher body strength to withstand the impact caused during execution.

Without the help of the defensive formation, the patriarch wouldn't be able to execute this technique on his own. While the power in this fist was far larger than what was present in previous moves, the toll it took on the user's body was also terrible enough.

Ten fist shadows merged and formed a menacing fist shadow as they traveled across the air and met with the sword light that was relatively dull.

BOOM!
