Rocky nodded. Then he walked over to Ramon and asked, "Are you all right?"
"I am all right. But his sword array is too powerful to resist. You must be careful and not exert yourself beyond your limits." Ramon had spent the last fortnight with Rocky and was aware that Rocky was much stronger than him. But he felt that even with his enormous strength, Rocky might not be able to break the sword array Xavier had developed.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. You need to go back and heal yourself." Rocky helped him get up.
Ramon nodded slightly, cast a glance at Xavier, and left the field.
Now, only Rocky and Xavier were left on the field, and an eerie silence fell on their surroundings. The audience were trying to guess what would happen. Theoretically, Rocky was not a match for Xavier. However, the man had pulled off unimaginable stunts and surprised people every time there had been a battle. Therefore, the audience were expectant for something similar.
"That guy is courting death," Miguel sneered sinisterly. He was sitting near the edge of the arena and was certain that Xavier would kill Rocky without mercy.
"Boy, you are quick to react," Xavier remarked from between gritted teeth and looked at Rocky gloomily. If Rocky had been just a moment late, Ramon would have been dead.
"Thank you. I won't say anything more. Why don't you teach me the sword array you just performed?" Rocky asked provocatively.
The audience felt like Rocky was going crazy. For god's sake, the man was deliberately trying to irritate Xavier before making a move. They all knew that there was only one consequence of such a preposterous action.
"Okay, now you're asking for it. If anything happens to you, don't blame me." Xavier was inwardly happy on hearing Rocky's request. He thought that Rocky was too full of himself and now, this provocation had given him an excuse to kill the man.
Therefore, Xavier did not hesitate and immediately applied the sword array. His Blood Sword flew towards the ground, and the eight sword auras rushed out once more. In an instant, hundreds of sword auras had risen from beneath his feet, intertwined with each other, and completely intertwined Rocky in a cage-like structure.
The audience were beginning to get worried about Rocky. Once he was hit by the sword array, he would be in fatal danger.
"Can Basil break the array?" Tessa murmured to herself, nervously biting her lips in anticipation.
For a brief period, the sword array felt a little too quiet, as if no one were there, which made Xavier a little confused. Normally, Rocky should have been struggling inside it, fighting for his life. But no spiritual power was spreading out of the array, as if Rocky were no longer inside it. But that was impossible.
Even the audience began looking here and then, trying to find out where the man had gone.
Suddenly, an overwhelming sword aura whooshed out from the center of the sword array into the sky. Then, it fell like a giant tornado upon the array and in the blink of an eye, had cut the entire sword array in two halves.
The raging sword aura disappeared without a trace.
The move was so unexpected that people didn't even know how to react.
"Basil just broke Elder Joseph's most powerful sword array like a twig. The elder would be furious if he was present," Harrison sighed. His eyes fell on the figure standing right where the sword array had been a moment ago. It was holding a huge sword in its hand.
This figure was Rocky, who had just broken the sword array.
"How is that possible? How did you do that? How?" Xavier was annoyed at the idea that his sword array was fragile as glass against someone.
"I thought this array was powerful, but it's all flash and no bang. I am willing to cut you some slack if it is because you haven't mastered the true essence of swordsmanship yet," Rocky said disapprovingly. He was right. Perhaps in other people's eyes, Xavier's sword array was flawless, but for a man like him with immense experience, it was garbage.
"Well, I think you were just lucky last time. You won't be able to break it again," Xavier said, clearly planning on using the same move once more.
"I don't have time to play with you. It's boring. But I will let you admit your defeat in honor," Rocky said with a slight smile. He waved the Mystical Dragon Sword in his hand lightly, and it instantly released a stream of sword aura that rushed into the sky. Far above their heads, the aura turned into a giant star which exploded. From that explosion were born thousands of smaller stars that rained down upon the arena.
This scene shocked everyone. They had never seen such a terrifying move.
"Isn't that the Thousand-star Swordsmanship? It looks like that to me. What's going on? How the hell does he know about the unique swordsmanship of our Sword Spirit Sect?" Harrison couldn't sit still anymore. He was shocked to the core when he saw Rocky use the Thousand-star Swordsmanship.
